12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: winners and losers. Gonna jump right into it because lots

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: to talk about. But we start with three wedgies on

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: Sunday alone. Wow, we had one wedgie all of last

15
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: week and then on Sunday with a bunch of games

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: on we got three more. And it started with Luka

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Doncic there taking the bump, drawn the foul count. It

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: then Caleb Martin for the Mavericks. There's a guy I

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: haven't thought about in a while with the block Weggie

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: on Jacoby Walter.

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: This view is incredible.

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is cool that happened. Yeah, that did look cool.

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: He gets blocked, but then he has to push it

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: back in for a wedge.

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: That's true. And then we ended Sunday night with a

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Trade Jones classic three point attempt Weggie versus the Kings.

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, three weggies fifty four, fifty five and fifty six. Wow,

28
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: still on pace for seventy and I don't know. I

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: think it was utk that threw it out a while ago.

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Are we gonna set the all time record for wedgies

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: in a season before we even get to the playoffs?

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: It didn't play.

33
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: That's possible. It's very upplying. That was a bit that

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: was a big Sunday. If you're going to rank those three,

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: how would you rank them?

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: Easily?

37
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: The Jacoby Walter where he's blocked and then has to

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: shove it back in. Now, the camera was fantastic. On

39
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 4: the opposite end, I think it was a handheld camera

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: too to be able to find that thing.

41
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: Is that one?

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: They're all snowflakes, but that one truly is a snowflakes.

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: I think that's one, two and three for me.

44
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: I think, well, yeah, I would go Killa Martin's block

45
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: and then I go Luca because that's sort of a

46
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: unique one, yeah, the way that one happened. And then

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: I go, uh, Trey Jones because that's more classic.

48
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: As I said, so, well, you guys are right, Okay, yeah,

49
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: I just check the stats and that's actually the correct answer.

50
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Okay, great, Okay, let's get into uh NBA weekend winners.

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: We'll do a couple of rounds of this a little later.

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: We'll do our NBA weekend losers. Trey, the floor is yours.

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: Oh, Jason Tatum, Winner of the Weekend. This was a

54
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: pretty easy one. It was rusty on Friday the return

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: against Dallas. Missed his first six shots, including front rimming

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: a dunk sprite commercial style, but then gets a tip

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 3: dunk off of a steal and electric slide corner three pointer.

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: Made five straight shots after missing the first six, and

59
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: the crowd was going insane. For Tatum, I thought he

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: looked good, not great, had a couple air balls, watched

61
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 3: another dunk on an alley oop where maybe it was

62
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: a bad pass but still could have gotten there. I

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: thought he wasn't taking a ton of contact in this

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: game on Friday against the Mavericks, but still fifteen points,

65
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: twelve boards, seven assists. That was winner enough for me,

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 3: of course. And then he came out on Sunday and

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: scored twelve points in the first quarter of their matchup

68
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I thought he looked a

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: lot more like classic Jason Tatum out there. He was

70
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: posting up mismatches, he was dribble drives through the paint,

71
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: playing through contact, a lot more initiating contact, I thought

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: as well. He finished with twenty points, three rebounds, and

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: a couple assists in the win against Cleveland. Had a

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: couple of huge baskets in the fourth quarter, including switching,

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: getting a switch on Evan Mobley, going straight to the hoop,

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: finishing over the top of him, and then kind of

77
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: the dagger three pointer off a nice kickout from nimiash Kata. So,

78
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, not the most efficient two games for Tatum.

79
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: Went six of sixteen from the field in both of

80
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: these games. I think he played twenty seven minutes in

81
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: both of these games. So you know, like I said,

82
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: he was good, but not great. But the fact that

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: he was this good coming off of achilles tear, that's

84
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: exciting for the Celtics because he was playing like Jason

85
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: Tatum for the most part, and an easy winner.

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: Easy winner his first weekend. I thought the win against

87
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: the Cavs was a perfect Boston win. He didn't have

88
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: to be efficient, Jason or Jaylen Brown didn't have to

89
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: be spectacular either. I thought their depth just came through.

90
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: I thought the guys off the bench, Baylor Shimon and

91
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 4: Peyton Richard were keys. Baylor Schreimon comes through the lane

92
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 4: with a lefty hook. Yeah, he already looks like a

93
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: descendant of the guys who played in the fifties and

94
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 4: the sixties. Napole is a left handed hook. But I

95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: thought he was just a baller period. He can defend,

96
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: he can splash threes. He hit a three right in

97
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: front of the Cavs bench with them in their ear,

98
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 4: in his ear, I should say he had one where

99
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: he put one on the floor and hit a three.

100
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: And then Peyton Pritchard just awesome. In the fourth quarter.

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: He hit two ISO plays back to back when the

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: Caves were making their run. Just go to Peyton Pritchard.

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 4: The guy will definitely benefit coming up the bench with

104
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum in the rotation, and when they needed a basket,

105
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: he literally went right at Jalen Tyson when he did

106
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: that spin pivot back fade, and then the next possession

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: goes up against James Harden crosscross fade on him.

108
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: So those two guys benefit.

109
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: In a game where Jalen Brown didn't have his first

110
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: basket until thirty seconds left in the first quarter, Dark

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: White wasn't even all that good. And then Jason Tatum

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 4: didn't have to be super efficient. He also didn't have

113
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: to be super efficient when they won the title in

114
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: that postseason run. He just needs to be Jason Tatum

115
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 4: and draw all the attention, then everybody else benefits. So

116
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: I thought it was a great weekend for him.

117
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I agree with you guys. I mean, even

118
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: before he hit his little scoring stride there in either

119
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: of those games, you could clearly see he just injects

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: a little oomph into the Celtics offense and he was

121
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: playing in control. He's making quick in rhythm reads. Like

122
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: we think of this guy and like, obviously he can score,

123
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: and he's had monster playoff performances like you know, a

124
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: fifty burger for crying out loud, but he does all

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: these other things. He's a huge dude. So he cleans

126
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: up on the glass. He's a great playmaker. Obviously, he

127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: can get at it defensively. I think the biggest takeaway

128
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: was he said he played twenty seven minutes in both games.

129
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: That's not nothing. I mean, that's gonna ramp up. Of

130
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: course they're gonna hope to. But we see guys that

131
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: have like playing all season long coming back or in

132
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup with injury. They'll play less

133
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: than that in some of these games. So there's obviously

134
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: confidence obviously in his leg there and how he feels. So, yeah,

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: a team that was already dangerous just doubled up on

136
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: star power basically now with a guy in Jill and

137
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: Brown who's been great all year and yeah, not in

138
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: a lights out game against the Caves, but still a

139
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: very solid twenty three, nine to eight. And now you

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: got Tatum who can do that as well. It's like, yeah,

141
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: this is the reason why they won a title with

142
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: these two guys, and you know, why can't they do

143
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: it again here?

144
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Well, they're the favorites in the Eastern Conference now according

145
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: to FanDuel. They're plus one ninety, right ahead of the Calves,

146
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: the Knicks, and the Pistons. You know, like Task likes

147
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: to mention the buzziest teams get moved to the top

148
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 3: of the favorites us. But sure, seeing Tatum come back

149
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: and look pretty tatumish, I think. I don't know, it's

150
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: impossible to say, it's literally been two games, but how

151
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: can you not think be have as good a chance

152
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: as anybody. So I think they are worthy favorites and

153
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: your right skeets. It's like, the thing about Tatum that

154
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 3: makes him such a great player is that he's not

155
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: bad at anything. Yeah, he's pretty good at everything. Like,

156
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: he's a pretty good playmaker. He's not the best playmaker,

157
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: pretty good shooter, not the best shooter, but he's not

158
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: bad at literally anything on the basketball court. And having

159
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: Shireman get to have that starting stint is going to

160
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: be huge for him now that he's going to be

161
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: coming off the bench. Came off the bench in both

162
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: of these ten boards is big. It just gave him

163
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence. So pairing him with Pritchard, who's

164
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: literally the defending six man of the year, that's what

165
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: this guy has made for I think if they have

166
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: the NBA one on one tournament, he would be like

167
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: a top three player for me. He's unstoppable, like he

168
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: can get to a shot anytime. He's got a quick handle.

169
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: He's a good shooter. He doesn't have the size. But

170
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: I think they were saying on the WHO collective today

171
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: that he's the best ISO scorer in the league right now.

172
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: But on a point per possession basis, you know, maybe

173
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: Luka Donca puts him into the basket if they're playing

174
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: one on one, but I also don't think Luca can

175
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: stop him one on one. So Prichard is awesome. The

176
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: only bad thing that happened for the Celtics this weekend,

177
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: Vooch broke a finger. He's out for three to four

178
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: weeks because he had to add surgery on that finger.

179
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: But they just ran Luca Garza out there. It was

180
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: like the same thing anyway, Okay, he was efficient.

181
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, if Peyton Prichard is in a one on one competition,

182
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: Reggie Miller's got to be on the call because he

183
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: compared Peyton Richard to Caitlin Clark. But he's going to

184
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 4: be super excited to see how Peyton Pritchard plays in

185
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 4: a one on one competition. I mean, he's going to

186
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: be super pumped because he is the guy again came

187
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: through in the fourth quarter when they needed him, so

188
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: fantastic stuff. On the other side, like the Calves, they

189
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 4: didn't have Jared Allen, so I haven't mobilely kind of

190
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: stepped up. But they couldn't score in that second quarter,

191
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: and then I think that's kind of bodeswell for the Celtics.

192
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 2: This is an ugly game.

193
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: They won the second quarter twenty one to ten because

194
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: the Calves couldn't score and they only scored five baskets

195
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 4: in that second.

196
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: Quarter of themselves. But that's how you win.

197
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: So that's great sign for the Celtics to also make

198
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 4: up two games in one weekend against the Detroit Pistons.

199
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're only two and a half back, only two

200
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: and a half.

201
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: Back of Detroit now since they had that awful loss

202
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 4: against the Nets. Yeah, the Nets because they had no

203
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: Kaid Conningham to give up a lead and then a

204
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: bad one on Sunday.

205
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: We'll get to Yeah.

206
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: I was just going to add that about the Celtics

207
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: as another reason to be a winner of the weekend,

208
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: them catching or making up some ground on Detroit at

209
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: the number one see in the East. Let's keep it

210
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: going though you have as your winner.

211
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: Well, Victor Weberinyama has to be a winner when when

212
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: a basketball god says that was the best thirty hours

213
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 4: of my career. Basically, yeah, he's a winner because they

214
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 4: played Thursday, they beat Detroit, and then Friday they had

215
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: a back to back against the Los Angeles Clippers, and

216
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: he said in the first quarter he almost fainted out

217
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: of exhaustion, that's how tired he was. And they were

218
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 4: down twenty five in the third quarter against the Clippers

219
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 4: and they came on back. He saw Victor ween Benyama

220
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: defensively in the lane, able to pounce out and block

221
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: a three point shot in the corner. A lot of

222
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: the Spurs just came through. Julian Champagne had seventeen points

223
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: in that third quarter to you know, aid Victor wen Benyama.

224
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: But this was more of just a team win, and

225
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 4: that's why the Spurs are scary. Post game, we saw

226
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 4: Victor wen Benyama crying. He was so emotional after that win.

227
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: The twittersphere going crazy. But I thought more importantly he

228
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: was talking up his teammates. He said about Carter Bryant,

229
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: that was the loudest five points a three rebounds game.

230
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 4: I've ever seen in my career. I'm super proud.

231
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: Of that guy.

232
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: You know, to be able to do that at this

233
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: point of his career is awesome. He only played twenty

234
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 4: one minutes in that game. Twenty one plus minutes, I

235
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 4: guess because he was tired. Twenty seven and ten four

236
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: blocks as Mitch Johnson. They play the rotations as he

237
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 4: needs to, so they came through big time in that game.

238
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 4: Kawhi had twenty points for his fortieth straight game. Sorry, Kwhi,

239
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: you don't get the love, man. It all goes to Victor,

240
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: who then on Sunday versus the Rockets put on a

241
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: show that every time you tune in for a Victor

242
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 4: webbing on a game, you see something new, you truly do.

243
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: He had the no look block on Tarry Easton where

244
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: he looks away.

245
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna come block this, and then he

246
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 2: throws it up a bank he comes up block it.

247
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: Okay, we did see that a little earlier in the

248
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 4: season against Scottie Barnes, but this one another time. He's

249
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 4: so great at everything, the fast break, the eurostep, able

250
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: to go buy a guard, reverse dunket and play in

251
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 4: the post where shangun Is was ripping his jersey, and

252
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: Wemby says, now, I got this turn around banker off

253
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: the top of the glass. Essentially, I think who was it.

254
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 4: A little bit later, somebody essentially copied him and they

255
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: did it again like Stefan Castle also had Shangdun in

256
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: the post and he pulls out a banker over Shanggun.

257
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: He's like again, like what, I can't stop anybody. Yeah,

258
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: he did a beauty.

259
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 4: But the passing sets up the threes and that's the

260
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: scary part of this game. Thirty eight assists against the

261
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: Houston Rockets. They had twenty one threes made against the

262
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 4: Houston Rockets. Spurs are fifty one over their last sixteen,

263
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,479
Speaker 4: led by Wemby. But everybody everybody chipping.

264
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: In thoughts on Wemby's weekend there, wh Yeah, it's pretty good.

265
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: I don't think switching Reed Shepherd onto him is going

266
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: to work. That was pretty weird. The smallest guy you

267
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: can imagine guarding the biggest guy you can imagine. But yeah,

268
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: Wemby is awesome. He only needs to play twenty to

269
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: thirty minutes a night to have a serious impact. Even

270
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: watching the comeback against the Clippers like he's doing things

271
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: on the offensive end, but he also it's like a

272
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: broken play and he finds Kawhi Leonard in the corner

273
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: and Kui can't even attack him, so they swing the ball,

274
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: get the ball out of his hands. It comes back

275
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: to Kawhi and there's Wemby at the top to challenge

276
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: a three pointer at the top of the key, not

277
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: anywhere close. So then he runs out, dunks, takes the lead.

278
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: Then he denies this lob to Derrick Jones Junior, like

279
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: the pass was there, Buttom throws it way over the top.

280
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: Probably works. We just saw Derek Jones Junior a couple

281
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: of plays earlier finished through Wemby. Really nice take, but

282
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: he was scared to throw it because he's seen Victor

283
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: probably his entire life being a Frenchman as well. You

284
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 3: saw how upset Ty Lou was on that one. He's like,

285
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: throw the ball man, Yeah, good luck, that's how scary

286
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: he is. Yeah, he was basically twenty feet away from

287
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: the play and they're like, ah, can't even chance it.

288
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

289
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: Then Champennie goes to the line a one point game

290
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: bricks them both same exact miss both times. Wenby tips

291
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: it out. They get another possession on that one and

292
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: get more free throws. Castle follows it with an offensive

293
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: rebound as well. He makes the big plays because he'd

294
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: an awesome player, but he also makes every single little

295
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: play because he is a winning basketball player. He's not

296
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: probably probably not gonna win the MVP of this year.

297
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 3: It could happen, I suppose, especially depending if games played

298
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: factors into things, but he's absolutely gonna be the favorite

299
00:13:58,840 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: going in the next season.

300
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, how many will he win his career will

301
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: be the question, but yeah, a great point about just

302
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: making the big plays. Also, like I almost admire Tarry

303
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: Esen's confidence in trying to shoot around and over Wemby.

304
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: It felt like you got blucked so many, Like, dude,

305
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work.

306
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: Man. Even his mom on was like, yeah, he looked

307
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: like he was five ft one. I know.

308
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: Again, I almost admired it, like, dude, you keep trying,

309
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: but it ain't gonna work. But wow, but a game

310
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: and then they just waxed the rockets here one forty

311
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: five to one twenties score in that game. That's a

312
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: lot of points on a team that's not brutal defensively,

313
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: but what a weekend would you say? One fifteen to

314
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: sixteen here?

315
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: Yep?

316
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, not bad, not bad run, but exhaustion setting in there. Yeah,

317
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: so you were you had no problems. Of course, the

318
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: guy showing a little emotion in a regular season game here,

319
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: because of course people are gonna say, what the hell,

320
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: why are you crying about a game in March. That's

321
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: what the haters are gonna hate.

322
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: You know, he's in touch with his feelings, so he cried,

323
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 4: let it out, do it. And then yeah again, he

324
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 4: goes to the press conference afterwards and starts talking up

325
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: his rookie and Carter Bryant like this is a twenty

326
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: two year old guy in Victor. Woman already feels like, yeah,

327
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: thirty six. I mean he's literally talking up the young guys.

328
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 4: We needed that five points of three rebounds. You did,

329
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: Carter Bryan that alley oop awesome, It was really great.

330
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: But Wemby, like you said, he does every little tiny thing.

331
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: But also he'll suck in the casual fan that will

332
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: watch a basketball game and say, whoa, I've never seen

333
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: that before. Yeah, yeah, get every reverse, every no look block.

334
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 4: The one on tari Ethan was awesome, great camera angle

335
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: on that one from the baseline.

336
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 3: Speaking as Reggie he on that block, He's like, I

337
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 3: hate to say, this is what I do to my

338
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: son in the driveway, right, and then he's like, no,

339
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: I don't do it.

340
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: Actually I do do it.

341
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 3: He does it.

342
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: He was on play by play. He called him out.

343
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: He said, no, come on, man, you do that was it?

344
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 3: I think I don't remember.

345
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So your two winners of the weekend, and rightfully so,

346
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: Tatum and the Celtics and then Wenby and the Spurs.

347
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: They play tomorrow night.

348
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Oh let's go.

349
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: That's a big ass game that is in San Antonio,

350
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: so Boston visits San Antonio. O. Yeah, because they were

351
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: on their huge road trips.

352
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: Got a live chat. Let's live chat that on sub

353
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: game chat it and it.

354
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: Could be a finals preview. I feel like we've said

355
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: that a couple times over the last couple of weeks.

356
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: Could be a finals preview between you know, two teams,

357
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: usually the Thunder or the Spurs, and then you know what,

358
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: we've done it with the Knicks. I feel like maybe

359
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the Pisti for sure. Of course the Celtics.

360
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad teams, right now, but we're

361
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: also getting some marquee matchups.

362
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a team on the rise. For my

363
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: winner of the weekend, but I'll give it specifically to

364
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: Pallo Bancaro, who helped his team, the Magic get two wins.

365
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: They snapped the Wolves five game win streak on in

366
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: their first game of the weekend from man Caro. Desmond

367
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Ban was awesome in that one too with thirty points,

368
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: and then ben Caro continued his dominance here or his

369
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: strong play as of late. He put up a monster

370
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: game against the Bucks, thirty three points on seventy five

371
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: percent shooting. So after struggling for three quarters of the

372
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: season up to this point, he has Ben Carro started

373
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: to dominate a little bit more since the All Star Break,

374
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: averaging twenty six nine boards, about six assists per game,

375
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: shooting fifty one percent from the floor sixty percent true

376
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: shooting percentage. I also think with the Magic everything starts

377
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: with their defense. He looks like he's putting in a

378
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: little bit more effort on that end as well, So

379
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: good weekend from him. The big rig got tuned up TK.

380
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: You know it was it was struggling, It was sputtering

381
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: there for a couple couple months, but I feel like

382
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: it's for the springtime here, it's it's running clean bad gas.

383
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: That bad gas yea was yeah, low octane. They switched

384
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 3: to a big one, better octane. They went from eighty

385
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: seven to ninety three, and that really made the difference.

386
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: I think they even called the ban Caro Express at

387
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: one point, which is like a little big rig adjacent

388
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: to me. But Orlando is seven to three post All Star.

389
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: They're ninth in offense. That's awesome for them, third in defense. Now,

390
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: some of these have been against not the greatest teams,

391
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter. They need to stack up these wins.

392
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: Here between ban Caro and Bane, they're putting up basically

393
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 3: fifty points per game. I think Bain has been just

394
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 3: as good as ban Caro has. He's just getting downhill

395
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: all the time. Now he's taking the fewest threes per

396
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: game that he's taken since his rookie season. I think

397
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 3: a lot of that is magic. Opponents look at Desmond

398
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: Bain and say, we cannot give up a three, specifically

399
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: to this man, so they overplay the three. But he's

400
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: learned how to tack the closeouts and just get downhill.

401
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: From there.

402
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 3: Him putting pressure on the rim has been big for everybody.

403
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: Suggs coming back and hitting shots is good when del

404
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: Carter Junior is playing a lot better right now as well.

405
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: They just did a ton of work specifically against the

406
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: Bucks inside. So we'll talk about the sixers in a

407
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 3: little bit here the heat as well. The sixth seed

408
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: is up for grabs right now, and it doesn't feel

409
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 3: like it's going to be Philadelphia due to absences from

410
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 3: their three star players. It's between Miami and Orlando, and

411
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: I do think Orlando has played a little bit better.

412
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: They have no expectations right now after a disappointing season,

413
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: so they're playing loose, they're playing free, and their offense

414
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: looks the best that has for the entire season.

415
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're on a push.

416
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 4: They could easily catch our raptors and no, honestly for fifth, Yeah,

417
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 4: that's been being so fun to watch because we all

418
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 4: know he's going right to get to the rim, but

419
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: somehow he gets there and gets to a zero step

420
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 4: and gets.

421
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: To that rim.

422
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 4: Because if you take that away, he's going left and

423
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 4: he's able to hit that shot. Paulo looks great. We're

424
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 4: waiting for Franz to come back, should be soon, Niche.

425
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: So they're playing without their best player.

426
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: It's beIN.

427
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 4: It's obviously Paolo, and Suggs has made his return, you know,

428
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: somewhat recently the last couple of weeks.

429
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: So it's all it's all coming together for this team.

430
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: Let's do another round back to you.

431
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel good weekend for the Lakers. They handled

432
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 3: the Pacers on Friday, don't really care, but they did it,

433
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: and then a great win Sunday in a laundry game against.

434
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: The New York Knicks.

435
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: If you play a game at like four o'clock on

436
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: a Sunday, I'm going to be folding closed during it.

437
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: And this was a good one to watch while folding close.

438
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: Thirty five points for Luka Dancas. He had twenty one

439
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 3: in the second half. Reeves had twenty five five assists.

440
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: And I thought Ruy Hachimura was pretty solid in this one,

441
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 3: thirteen points, seven rebounds, and I saw that he has

442
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: learned the placement of the tossing, so he gave him

443
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: another chance and he came through for the Lakers. Most

444
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: impressive though, to me, was the defense against the Knicks.

445
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 3: They held New York to ninety seven points. That's their

446
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: fourth fewest total of the season. The Lakers forced nineteen turnovers,

447
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 3: held the next to forty three percent shooting from the

448
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: field in just eight of thirty four from three. Interestingly enough,

449
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: no Lebron James in either of these games. And guess what,

450
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: it's a lot easier to defend when you have Ruy

451
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: Hachimura and Marcus Smart on the court together and only

452
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: two of Luca Reeves and Lebron. So true, it's weird,

453
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: it's very weird, but they just can't defend with all

454
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: three of them because none of them played defense. I

455
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: thought DeAndre Ayton was pretty solid against the Knicks as well.

456
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: Brought a lot of energy, finished his shots, didn't take

457
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 3: a ton of them, but was at least giving effort

458
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: against Towns on the inside. There so a couple of

459
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: nice wins for the Lakers. Good timing as well. With

460
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: teams in the Western Conference struggling, they're able to make

461
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: their way up the standings. Every win matters at this point.

462
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: Lebron will be back soon. He's dealing with a foot

463
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: problem that's put him in and out of the lineup,

464
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: so it's gonna be interesting to see what JJ decides

465
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: to do. Because we've seen some of the best defense

466
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: for the Lakers be without Lebron. We've also seen some

467
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: of the best defense for the Lakers be going small

468
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 3: and switching. Everything feels junkie to me, but it's working

469
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: right now at least.

470
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: I think the key statu is the Lakers are nine

471
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: to two in games without Lebron, but Luca and Austin

472
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: Reeves playing, and I think that does speak to what

473
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: you were saying. And you got three of them out there,

474
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: your defense is going to struggle. Maybe two you can pass.

475
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: It's a little more passable. But they had a good

476
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: weekend of for sure. Here in the Western Conference.

477
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 4: Desk, Yeah, they need guys giving effort. So to see

478
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: DeAndre Ayton, as you mentioned, it was only twenty minutes,

479
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 4: but those are important minutes, and he bounces back from

480
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 4: that knee injury. Had the game before, we had to

481
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: leave early, and so I thought, maybe we're gonna miss

482
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: Deandrayton for a while for the first time this season.

483
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,239
Speaker 4: That's the spectacular part about Deandreytens. He hasn't missed a

484
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 4: long stretch at all, So we've kind of all been

485
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 4: waiting for when does DeAndre Ayton fade a little bit?

486
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 4: But those were key minutes in this rotation, and especially

487
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 4: with their good defensive lineup in there, he can part.

488
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 4: He definitely contributes, and he needs to contribute or else

489
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 4: you're seeing Jackson Hayes. Are you're going five out like

490
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 4: the old days, which was last year.

491
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: I also guaranteed folded's or paired up some socks while

492
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: watching that game. Yeah, for sure, I agree with you.

493
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: That Sunday second game there.

494
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: That's ideal time for folding.

495
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: Yeah.

496
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just let the laundry pile up on my

497
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 3: chair in the office until it reaches the top of

498
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: the back of the chair and then it's time whites first,

499
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: then dark here we go.

500
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

501
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: Also, it was a crappy day here in Atlanta yesterday,

502
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: rainy stuff like that. You were just watching good folding weather, Yeah,

503
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: because then we had the Rockets game at night too

504
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: against Spurts. Great, all right, tasks, who do you have

505
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: for a winner?

506
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: Well? The Heat are hot.

507
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: The Miami Heat against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, their

508
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: first win of two wins. I thought it was a

509
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: fun game. It was in Charlotte. They had that colorful

510
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 4: City edition court, that very colorful blue. They had the

511
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: orange jerseys on while the Miami Heat had their Miami

512
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 4: Vice jerseys on, so extremely colorful. Both teams coming in

513
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 4: feeling good. The Hornets had one six straight. I thought

514
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 4: it was a thriller. It was one twenty eight, one

515
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: twenty for the Heat. You had Air Collins on the

516
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: broadcast saying some fun stuff, as always.

517
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: What basketball we're watching.

518
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: And even got del Curry into it. Del Curry beside him,

519
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like it.

520
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: He really Yeah. He jumps in with a are you

521
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: not entertained? Just cuz just.

522
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: Place was buzzing. Yeah, pun intended, Yeah.

523
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 2: It was. It was.

524
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: It went down to the fourth quarter, and it was

525
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 4: surprising with the Miami Heat not having Norm Powell or

526
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 4: Andrew Wiggins, who was sitting in this one. They're starting

527
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 4: Myron Gardner, who played just basically eight minutes in the

528
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: first and eight minutes in the third quarter just to

529
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 4: eat some minutes. But it was the other guys that

530
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 4: did enough. I mean, Hyman Hawkes coming off the bench,

531
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: who doesn't hit threes. Four threes in this game. That's

532
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 4: the most of any game this season. The Hornets did

533
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 4: a good job taking away his driving lanes. But Hyman

534
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: Hawckets just splash, splash, twenty one points. Davion Mitchell. You

535
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 4: need him in this case where you don't have Norm

536
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 4: or you don't have Andrew Wiggins.

537
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: He had three threes.

538
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: They only had six turnovers in this game, and Tyler

539
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: Hero didn't have one of them, and he just bawled out.

540
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 4: He had enough three points for this guy, eight of

541
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: ten from three in a game where Bam couldn't hit

542
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 4: his tell. Hero just stepped up and hit his fourteen

543
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 4: points in the third quarter. Then the fourth when there's

544
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 4: seven minutes left, he took a dribble hand off I

545
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: think it was from Bam and he had to lean

546
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 4: back to hit a three because it was a tough angle.

547
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: It was just a great shot to get him finally,

548
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: you know, over the the hump for the the lead that.

549
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: They didn't give up.

550
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 4: I don't think from that point they had a really

551
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: great ending seven minutes of that game to snap the

552
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: Hornets six game streak. Again, six turnovers for that whole team,

553
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 4: So just great offense period. And then Game two versus

554
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: the Pistons a little less exciting because they basically ran

555
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: the whole thing from the from the get go. The

556
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: Pistons got up two zip and that was their only

557
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: lead as the heat went up thirteen too. The Pistons,

558
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, they may have been gassed. It was

559
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 4: back to back. They got into Miami at four thirty am,

560
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 4: So yeah.

561
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: So much about flights getting in now, yes.

562
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

563
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: We never heard this like fifteen to twenty years ago.

564
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: Once into a blue moon, you'd hear it. I feel

565
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: like we hear it every four days about said to

566
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: getting in at three or four more, knocking the pistols everything.

567
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: We hear it all the time. Now we're just so

568
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: aware of Thelware.

569
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, he just ran down the Pistons

570
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: throat fast break twenty two to six. The Bisiness really

571
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: didn't have much shot at all, and when they get in,

572
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: they get it out and the Pistons weren't comfortable at

573
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 4: guarding everywhere. So Bam had four threes, Hero had four threes,

574
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 4: hamahawkas nineteen to seven assists, So they're getting it from everywhere.

575
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 4: They've won five in a row. There's seven games over

576
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: five hundred. Who would have thunke it a lot of

577
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 4: the time you think about the Miami Heat, you think

578
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: it's a five hundred team. Seven games over five hundred here,

579
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 4: pretty late in the season for them to be doing that.

580
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 4: They got seventeen games left, so they're in a.

581
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: They are right there with the obviously, like we said,

582
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: the Raptors and the Magic and the fifth and sixth

583
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: spots in the East actual playoffs, but the Heat leading

584
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: the play in race. But I mean, look a game

585
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: separating all these teams here is can go any which way.

586
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 3: Here could go any which way. And Tyler Hero guess

587
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 3: what he's good? Easy to forget. This guy is a

588
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: pretty talented scorer. He's basically fifty forty ninety since returning,

589
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: hasn't played a ton of games yet. But the Heat

590
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: need his juice on offense because he's a good score

591
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: first and foremost a good shooter. But he's a decent

592
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: enough playmaker, which takes the load off of a guy

593
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 3: like Bam Davion Mitchell. And I mean, we'll see how

594
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: Powell fits in when he returns. I guess he'll probably

595
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: come off the bench.

596
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

597
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: That's just what they do with Norm Powell. They start

598
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: him for two thirds of the season, then bring him

599
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 3: off the bench for the end of it, and he's

600
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: going to give you twenty to twenty four per game

601
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: no matter which way it's happening. I think Khalil where

602
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: Khalil Ware is also playing a lot more and a

603
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: lot better. He's having much more of an impact, so

604
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: Ulster is giving him longer leashes. He's not just hanging

605
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: out on the perimeter. He's dunking all the time, and

606
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: he's really contributing on the defensive end and rebounding as well.

607
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 3: He's like, he's an up and down effort guy, but

608
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: when he's given it to you, he is a talented

609
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: player and he really helps the team. So they're getting

610
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: contributions from him. Yaka chonas like played pretty well against

611
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 3: the Pistons, So yeah, they're looking deeper and they're still

612
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: waiting for Norm to come back.

613
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, and bam Adebayo scored twenty four on Sunday in

614
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: that win over the Pistons and became just the second

615
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: Heat player to score ten thousand plus points with the franchise,

616
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: joining Dayne. Wait, yeah, of course, So I don't think

617
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna catch on it. No, he's probably not going

618
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: to catch him. But still that's quite an accomplishment there,

619
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: and he's been there for a while. So heat Man

620
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: really truly a good weekend or I guess if we

621
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: want to go back to the last week because of

622
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: the Hornets had the win streak Southeast Division, man, look

623
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: at the magic of look at the heat Cook, look

624
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: at the Hornets. We're the hottest team until everybody jinks them,

625
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: until people start saying they were going to the Eastern

626
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: Conference finals.

627
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 5: What.

628
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, otherwise Southeast Baby, don't worry about the other

629
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: two teams. Trey Young is playing for the Wizards, and

630
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: what's the other team? I'm forgetting Hawks.

631
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: The Hawks are holy crap.

632
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just saw them. I was down at the

633
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: Fortress watching Jalen Johnson literally dunk every second possession against

634
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: the Sixers. Holy crap. That was attacking with abandoned six

635
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: straight for Atlanta to the Southeast Division. No good teams,

636
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: but still yeah, yeah it's the bad Ones. My final

637
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: winner of the weekend, I'm gonna give it to Shay

638
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: Gildos Alexander's MVP chances, though I hear you on the

639
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: Wemby factor of it all. Will he get two games

640
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: played and make this a race, But let me state

641
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: the case here for SGA, he is the odds on

642
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: favorite to win this thing. I think he's minus four

643
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: hundred on fan duel as of this morning here on Monday, okay,

644
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: see five and zero since he returned from his injury.

645
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: He did miss one of those games, but otherwise he's

646
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: right back to scoring thirty points per game. So doing

647
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 1: that and the league had excuse me, the Thunder had

648
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: the league's best record, first team to win fifty games.

649
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: There's seventeen games remaining, so where are they going to finish.

650
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: They're finishing obviously sixty plus when it's gonna be close

651
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: to that over under in the start of the season,

652
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: isn't it? Wasn't it sixty two and a half could

653
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: be close. But anyway, they're a dominant team when he's

654
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: in there, like you saw him against the Dubs there

655
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I guess that game Saturday was that game.

656
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: He had a rough game, shooting the ball six to fifteen,

657
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of free throws though, put pressure on the defense.

658
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: Obviously got to the line and then when I love

659
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: it feels like he's done this a couple times even

660
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: since returning. He just like hits these like game winning

661
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: usually threes now is what he's doing. He got isoed

662
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: on Draymond Green. It was a two point game, and

663
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: he's like, no, no, no, don't bring anything over here.

664
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: I'll cook him. He steps back, splashes a three right

665
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: in Draymond's face. I mean, he played it as well

666
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: as he could and that was pushed the lead to

667
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: five and there was forty seconds left. Like that's a

668
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: huge shot. That's basically one of those shots that sort

669
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: of ends the game. He's done that a couple times.

670
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: So I just think him returning playing well, team winning,

671
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: paired with the Nuggets struggling here in sort of the

672
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: standing sliding a little bit yok, not having his best

673
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: basketball we've ever seen from him, and then the kid

674
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Cunningham and of it all. He was sort of in

675
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: this conversation. He's at the MVP table, but he's not

676
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: holding the menu. He doesn't get to say we're ordering

677
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: an appetizer. It's like you're there. They've hit a lull here,

678
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: four games in a in a row for them. He's exhausted.

679
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: I buy you, I buy that that you said before, Trey.

680
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: It's really down to Wemby. I feel like in SGA

681
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: and SGA is going to have him, I think on

682
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: games played and we'll see about record. But I think

683
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: my point is I think he's sort of rap. I

684
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: think he's wrapping it up here. I think he's gonna

685
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: hit the games played sixty five and I think he's

686
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna win his second consecutive MVP, just like Steve Nash

687
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: when Canadians win MVP in the NBA. You have to

688
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: go back to that. But we'll see thoughts.

689
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: He's the favorite, that's for sure. That Yeah, that was

690
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 4: a funny game against the Warriors. Warriors could have pulled

691
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 4: that one out. They missed a lot of free throws.

692
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 4: Christaph sporzingis back for the Warriors. Three of six from

693
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 4: the free throw line. Gary Payton missed a couple of

694
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 4: free throws. They shot eleven of eighteen from the free

695
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: throw line. Just hit some free throws and they win

696
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: that game. And the thunder won't hit their over under

697
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: if you win that game. But yes, I feel like

698
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 4: Shay is definitely the favorite. You know, Kate in Weston's

699
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: got to turn things around. They got to go on

700
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: a huge run. I would think for him to win it.

701
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: They got to win games.

702
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, of course, games played is obviously going to

703
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: come into play for all these guys that we're talking about.

704
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: Sga still has to get there. Wemby could still get there,

705
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: Jokic still could get there. Uh, you know, Luca, I

706
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: don't know where you have him in this MVP conversation.

707
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: Obviously the numbers are pretty remarkable, but you know, I

708
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: think he's sort of more in the three, four, five whatever.

709
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Browns tried to like sneak in there too. I

710
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: don't think he's winning it. So it's it's sort of

711
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: down to me. It's gonna be Sga Yokich for Wemby,

712
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: and I just think he's gonna win it again. And

713
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: bast what Reference disagrees with that sixty three percent probability

714
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: for Jokic still, but you got to get to the

715
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: games played. And you know they're sliding too, is another

716
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: part of the equation here. Yeah, they're down into six

717
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference.

718
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: I think the only way that Shaye doesn't win MVP

719
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 3: is if the Spurs get more wins. Yeah, okay, but

720
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: right now, like Shae has played three hundred more minutes

721
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 3: than Wemby. Wemby is more impactful on the defensive end

722
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 3: by far, but I I mean, I think if San

723
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: Antonio somehow catches Oklahoma City, then Wemby would probably win

724
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: because who else is it going to be from that team?

725
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: But that's the only that's the only way it happens.

726
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 3: The other question I have is do you think Shay

727
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 3: Gilgess Alexander could be doctor Sauce? Because ever since Friday,

728
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: we're talking, man who's doctor Sauce? He does have like

729
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: a scientific approach to the game. He plays with angles.

730
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't hate it, right, I don't have a nickname.

731
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: He's got initials.

732
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, doctor Sauce.

733
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: Just chew on yeah, exactly exactly. Let's just sit with

734
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: it for a little bit. Here is SGA doctor. So

735
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: here you're gonna hear a lot about Shay Gilders Alexander

736
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: in the next couple days here because he did extend

737
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: historak of scoring at least twenty points to one hundred

738
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: and twenty five consecutive games. He'll tie Wilt Chamberlain's record

739
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty six straight games with at

740
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: least twenty points Tonight, he probably gets to twenty points

741
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: tonight it's against Denver, so that is a good game.

742
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: And then you're just gonna see a lot of people

743
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: going like, I can't wait. I'm already like expecting like

744
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: some sort of backlash to said record. And I'm not

745
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: even saying this as like, oh my god, like this

746
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: is impressive. This is very consistent any record where you're

747
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: beating Wilt Chamberlain and Jordan didn't do it or Kobe

748
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: didn't do it. When it comes to scoring, that's impressive.

749
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: I don't care. But I can just see it now,

750
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: like people going, what the hell is this? This is stupid,

751
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: this is dumb. It's like, okay, yeah, I sure it

752
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: is dumb, but it shows off consistency. Uh, And he

753
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: just got there in the last game, and I think

754
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: he'll do it tonight.

755
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: Doctor Sauce can do it scoring.

756
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go.

757
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 3: There.

758
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: He was quite good at that, that's for sure.

759
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: Any other minor winners that you just wanted to toss it,

760
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: tossed into the sauce.

761
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 3: Toss into the sauce. Christasporzinga says, he's going to be

762
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: healthy now, how does he know?

763
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? I didn't buy that.

764
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 3: That was an interesting quote.

765
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: I thought I saw that too.

766
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 4: I watched that press conference. He didn't sell me. I

767
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: don't think you sold himself. I don't think he was

768
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 4: too confident. He didn't have a good game first game

769
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 4: back on game, yeah, yeah, whatever. I mean, he's played

770
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 4: a couple of games. He's obviously got this illness, this

771
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 4: thing going on, which he doesn't know what it is exactly.

772
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 4: It just doesn't feel like he's ready to come and

773
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 4: give it, unfortunately unfortunately for them.

774
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 3: I mean, we touched on the Hawks there.

775
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Jalen Johnson and the Hawks went in a

776
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: bunch of games here, taking care of obviously some lesser talent,

777
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: but they beat the Sixers missing guys. We'll get into

778
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: them in a second.

779
00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 2: I know, I know.

780
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 4: We don't want to give the Suns a winner because

781
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 4: of sort of the slight little cloud of Dylan Brooks

782
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: hanging over them a little bit. But they won two

783
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 4: games this weekend without Dylan Brooks, without Mark Williams who's

784
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 4: out for a few weeks, and that hurts. And so

785
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 4: for them to get both those wins very good. Yeah,

786
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: And Dylan Brooks tried to make it up to the team.

787
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: He went in there on Friday, the night after he

788
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 4: was charged then released after a DUI went.

789
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: Up to them, apologized to them.

790
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 4: Actually, Colin Gillespie talked about it for a while with

791
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 4: press and he said, you know, no one's above anybody else.

792
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: He came, he admitted he was wrong, and I don't

793
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 4: know if you guys saw the body cam footage blew

794
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 4: a zero point zero.

795
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like it was marijuana.

796
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

797
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: It smelled like a dispensary. As the officer said, is

798
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 4: he's the open which he says he hasn't doesn't smoke, yes,

799
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 4: but he was reckless on the road.

800
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 2: He was wild. It is wobbly, as the officer.

801
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: But he talked to the team.

802
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 4: I didn't see that, Yeah he did, he did, and

803
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 4: he made it up, made up to the team and

804
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 4: they go get two wins again, No Mark Williams, no

805
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 4: Dome Brooks. So they need everybody. And Jalen Green looked

806
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 4: better than he ever has on Sunday. He looked a

807
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 4: lot better for them, So things are going well.

808
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: He's a march Man's march march yees actually the.

809

834
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:52,320

00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta be come on, I don't care

836
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: what happens in their tourney.

837
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you rather take a loss before the tournament?

838
00:38:59,400 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: Sure?

839
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: Just asked Jamir Nelson.

840
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: Wow, what a pull?

841
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they went undefeated and then lost in the tournament.

842
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 3: M Marvin O'Connor I think was their other good player.

843
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: Don't remember him?

844
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marvin.

845
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of black guys that have Irish

846
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: last names, so that one sticks in your head.

847
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 4: Marvin O'Connor. But somebody, I don't know who it was.

848
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 4: I think it's a former player. I'm just I'm just

849
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 4: assuming that it was. I feel like it was asked,

850
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 4: why isn't Miami Ohio guaranteed in the tournament at thirty

851
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: and oh?

852
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: Somebody is the stupidest thing. They put thousands of teams

853
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: in this tournament. When we're talking about a team that

854
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: hasn't lost kim be in one of these spots. Is

855
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, somebody, apparently Bruce

856
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: Pearl started all this crap. Yeah, you know who I'm

857
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: talking about, Bruce Pearl. He was the one questioning it.

858
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: I guess before they won that big comb Bruce, Look,

859
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We're gonna have them going all

860
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: the way to the end. Old guys, what was the

861
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: biggest RedHawks fans? A lot?

862
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know.

863
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

864
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 3: That's all I care about.

865
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: I did see Caleb Wilson, I guess is out? Isn't he?

866
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 2: Uh uh? With?

867
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: Is he a hand injury? Yeah? I think he might

868
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: be out out too.

869
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 3: Gotta watch those hands.

870
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: Gotta watch those hands. Okay, let's do NBA Weekend Losers.

871
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: Trey A get it started.

872
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets losers of the Weekend. They lost in a

873
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: blowout against the Knicks on Friday. Lost basically every way

874
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 3: you can and this one twenty two to eight fast

875
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 3: break points. They gave up seventy six points in the paint.

876
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: Eleven dunks for New York, including og Anobi, who had

877
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 3: one of the sexiest dunks of his career. A reverse

878
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 3: double pump on the break. He had thirty four Mitchell

879
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 3: Robinson had thirteen points. I think he I don't know

880
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 3: if he had five dunks or six dunks, but if

881
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 3: the fifth, if the sixth dunk wasn't a dunk.

882
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: It was a layup. I guarantee you.

883
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 3: That that's fine. You know, sometimes you lose the second

884
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: night of a back to back. The Knicks have been

885
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: playing pretty well though, Like we talked about, they lost

886
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: as well this weekend, but I'm not as upset about that.

887
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 3: The thing that the Nuggets a loser of the weekend

888
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: to me is on the night they get Aaron Gordon back,

889
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 3: finally they lose Jamal Murray, who tweaked his ankle, maybe

890
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: like his heel hit Jokic when he was trying to

891
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 3: slide defensively off balance, tweaked it. They pulled him for

892
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: the second half of this game. This was only the

893
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 3: eleventh time this season that the Nuggets had their opening

894
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: nights starters together, the first time since November. Because it's

895
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 3: been Gordon out, it's been Cam Johnson out, lots of

896
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 3: guys have missed time. Their preferred starters have only played

897
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty eight minutes together and now we'll

898
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 3: see how long Murray ends up missing. He kind of

899
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: limped his way out, you know, hanging on Yonas Valanciunis

900
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 3: and Peyton Watson, willing to put his denim on the

901
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: line for a sweaty body in Jamal Murray. I love

902
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: to see that teammate ship from him.

903
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Apparently he's questionable tonight against Okay, so.

904
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe they keep him out for this game,

905
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 3: maybe he comes back soon. But it just feels like

906
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 3: they're a little snake bitten not being able to have

907
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: everybody playing together, building the chemistry, building the cohesiveness that

908
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: they need, because this is a different team, bringing in

909
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson. He's a different style player than Michael Porter Junior,

910
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: who they had a long tracker record of success with

911
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 3: playing together, playing multiple playoff games together, and it would

912
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: just be nice for this team to go into the

913
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 3: playoffs knowing how they want to attack, how they want

914
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: to play defense together. So I think just a bummer

915
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 3: for the Nuggets to finally finally get mostly healthy, like

916
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: Watson is still out, but at least they had their

917
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: starters back, and instantly they lose Jamal Murray don't even

918
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 3: happen for a half, So that was a super bummer.

919
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, I think Zach Lowe referred to the

920
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: Nuggets this season potentially as it's just not our year,

921
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: type of year, just one of those years where they

922
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: can't all get on the same page, mainly because of injury.

923
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: And we'll see if that comes to fruition. But it

924
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: feels like there's something there that's crazy that Gordon comes

925
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: back and then Jamal gets banged up right away.

926
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 4: It's like, come on, yeah, they're getting destroyed in that

927
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: quarter where Jamal Murray went out. As you're saying about

928
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 4: the Knicks after the first quarter when the Nuggets were up, and.

929
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: That second quarter and then the third quarter, they.

930
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 4: Just look bad entirely. It is more concerning on the

931
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 4: defensive end that they just get that cohesion around it.

932
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 4: It would be nice to get Cam Johnson and his

933
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 4: drives when the ball gets spun from Jokich or Murray

934
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 4: to get that going because he just hasn't been able

935
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 4: to get it going the entire season, and he's going

936
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 4: to be in that starting role. He will be that

937
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: third guy essentially. They need him because Christian Brown does

938
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 4: get it going. With jok and they're the first. I

939
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 4: don't know if they're still ranked first offensively, but they

940
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 4: are extremely high. But still I think it's the defensive

941
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,479
Speaker 4: end of the defensive art. It just feels like, yeah,

942
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 4: it could be one of those years as Zach loose,

943
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 4: but it also could just be. Man, this team needs

944
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 4: a little bit of a change up almost even though

945
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 4: they're super good. And that change up was Cam Johnson.

946
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 4: He just hasn't been able to play. So here we

947
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 4: are weeks away. I had him as the team that

948
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 4: could upset Okay See for much of the season, but yeah,

949
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 4: they're not on the same string defensively.

950
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 2: That's important part for me.

951
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: The Nuggets still do have the number one offense in

952
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: the league acording to Basketball Reference, so first overall in

953
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: offensive rating, but twenty third in defensive rating. And I

954
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: mean at this point though, like, I don't think the

955
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: Nuggets truly care if they finish third, fourth, fifth, or sixth,

956
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: even like in the Western Conference. But you sure as

957
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: hell don't want to fall to the play in Yeah,

958
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: not that they couldn't get out of it, but then

959
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: you're playing either You're guaranteed to be playing either Okac

960
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: or San Antonio in a first round matchup, like, yeah,

961
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: they have confidence. I'm sure they can beat maybe even

962
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: both those teams, But I don't know. I don't want

963
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: to see them in a first round and be bounced

964
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: in the first round. So they are holding on here

965
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: because the Suns are not that far behind trying to

966
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: get into the actual playoff race. Oh yeah, yeah, tough,

967
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: tough loss with Jamal. I'm with you. I don't think

968
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: he plays tonight here. I can't imagine he plays. Keep

969
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: him out a game or two, But you can't go

970
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: super long here if you want to care about staying

971
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: in the conversation there for the playoffs.

972
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 3: Well even right now, if they stay six in Minnesota

973
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 3: stays three like Minnesota's played them, well yeah right, And

974
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 3: I do think Joki is gonna have to bring a

975
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 3: better effort on the defensive end, because right now he's

976
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 3: just like if you're going up for a layup, I'll

977
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: let you have it.

978
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's already getting ready to inbound the balls. Yeah

979
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: he does that.

980
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And look, he can be an effective defender, Like

981
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 3: he's not ever going to be a shot blocker, but

982
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 3: he's pretty decent with positioning. He's got good hands for

983
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 3: like steals and deflections, but right now he doesn't really

984
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 3: care on that end. It doesn't feel like who.

985
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: Do you have for a loser of the weekend?

986
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 4: Well, I think the Milwaukee Bucks and Yanni said a

987
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 4: Kombo specifically, are gonna miss the playoffs for the first

988
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 4: time since twenty sixteen.

989
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long.

990
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 4: Road to get back into the playoffs from where they

991
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 4: are right now. And yeah, it's been a long time

992
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 4: since Yan's missed the playoffs, but it sure feels like

993
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: it's happening again because they're way back. There are four

994
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 4: games out of the play in right now and this week,

995
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:05,479
Speaker 4: and specifically, Yanni sat one game of his back to back, so.

996
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: You know, you look at it, and the Bucks have

997
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: four more back to back.

998
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 4: So whether or not he misses a few of those

999
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 4: games because he's taking care of that calf and making

1000
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 4: sure he doesn't get injured again, still, I mean, either way,

1001
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 4: they're just so far back. They have nineteen games left.

1002
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 4: I would assume they'd have to go something like fourteen

1003
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 4: and five if the Hornets in front of them, who

1004
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 4: their four back of goes like nine and eight to

1005
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 4: get in there, and the Hornets are playing well. Obviously,

1006
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 4: now the Hornets have some tough teams and all that,

1007
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 4: but four games back and the Hornets have more games

1008
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 4: at home, ten games at home, seven on the road.

1009
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 4: They're five and a half back of the Hawks, who

1010
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 4: are ninth. They have ten home games and eight road games.

1011
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 4: It just seems too far, especially the Bucks. When Yanni sits,

1012
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 4: of course they're gonna be worse. But Kevin Porter Junior

1013
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 4: is also well, he's their second best offensive player right now.

1014
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 4: Will he come back maybe, But I think this is

1015
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 4: it for Jannis to make again since twenty sixteen. It's

1016
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 4: been a while.

1017
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: You said that was a good thing though, right, which

1018
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: which part.

1019
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 3: That if they if they try hard and don't make

1020
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 3: the playoffs and makes it easier for Yannis to request the.

1021
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 2: Trade if they try hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's part

1022
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: of it.

1023
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 4: The effort is going to come from the front office

1024
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 4: to say, okay, we're either they're going to trade some

1025
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 4: of their draft picks and whatever they can to go

1026
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 4: get somebody good to try and convince Yannis, or yeah,

1027
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: Jannis can say, hey, man, I gave it everything I had.

1028
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: We didn't make the playoffs, yes, and say and say, yeah,

1029
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 4: this is it. It's time for Yannis to go. It's time

1030
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 4: to pack the bags and leave Milwaukee. It all depends again,

1031
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 4: who is going to take them, because you know, we

1032
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 4: hear the Golden State Warriors are going to give everything

1033
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 4: they can if the Knicks don't win, and that's a

1034
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 4: good that's a good matchup for Gans to be dealt there,

1035
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 4: depending on what they can get back the Rockets.

1036
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: The Rockets could do struggle, very aggressive move if they

1037
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: blame out early here and stuff like that, could put

1038
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: together at least an enticing package I think right to Milwaukee.

1039
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1040
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I'm using a pen not a pencil.

1041
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm crossing a Milwaukee Bucks here for the rest of

1042
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: the season. I don't think. I don't think they have

1043
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: a chance of catching any of these teams. A lot

1044
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: of these teams playing good in the play and race

1045
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conferences. We just went over, We'll get

1046
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia in a second. But that's all a long way.

1047
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: They would have to slide, and Milwaukee would also have

1048
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: to win. That's a part of the equation. With or

1049
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: without Giannis, they're losing. So yeah, I don't I don't

1050
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: think it's happening this year.

1051
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Bucks have the best thing you can say

1052
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 3: they got going for them is they have an easier

1053
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 3: schedule than all these other teams that are in the

1054
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: play In Tournament. But they feel like a team that

1055
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: didn't expect to have to play hard at this point

1056
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 3: in the season. They're like, oh wait, we're trying to

1057
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 3: make the play in now and not the most exciting goal.

1058
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like for Milwaukee. So we've already heard

1059
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 3: rumors that Doc Rivers is going to retire after this season.

1060
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: It definitely feels like a play out the string kind

1061
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 3: of a team right now.

1062
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Hornets are playing too well. I thought there

1063
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 4: was a chance that they could catch the Atlanta Hawks,

1064
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 4: but now the Hawks have won six in a row

1065
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,280
Speaker 4: after the All Star Game, the Hawks have been Seriously,

1066
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 4: they've been cooking. They're seven and one since after the

1067
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,479
Speaker 4: All Star Game. After going into the All Star break

1068
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 4: having lost three straight.

1069
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: They look like a new team.

1070
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: My big loser of the weekend is the Philadelphia seventy

1071
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 1: six ers because there's a month left in the twenty

1072
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: five to twenty six regular season, but it's possible their

1073
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: season ended on Saturday night. Philly entered this weekend holding

1074
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: on to a playoff spot in the sixth seed. But

1075
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: after one game, which was a loss to Atlanta, which

1076
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: will break down here, a bunch of teams behind them

1077
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: picked up wins quality wins, and now here's Philly sitting

1078
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: in the eighth spot in the play in there After,

1079
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: both those Florida teams jumped them in the East standings.

1080
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: But to add insult to injury, I mean, they lose

1081
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: to the Hawks. It was a competitive game. It was

1082
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 1: a close game, but right at the end, Tyrese Maxi

1083
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: collides with a Bona and then Maxi has left like grimacing,

1084
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: holding his hand. He's like putting it in his shorts.

1085
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, that is not good. On Sunday, they

1086
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: announced that he suffered a sprain of his pinky finger

1087
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: and will miss at least the next two games as

1088
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: he undergoes further testing. So again, it's a pinky, Like,

1089
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: oh yeah, what's the big deal, We'll be back. But

1090
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: it is important whether you call it a pinky or

1091
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: your fifth finger. Right as I saw Sean's was calling it,

1092
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: people were getting upset.

1093
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

1094
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: Actually, so anyway. But then so you got Maxy, but

1095
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: Joelle Embiid he's missed the past four games with the

1096
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: oblique injury he suffered in late February. Paul George is

1097
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 1: only sixteen games into his twenty five game suspension for

1098
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: violation of the NBA's anti anti drug policy, so he's

1099
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: not back until late March. VJ. Edgecomb didn't play against

1100
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: the Hawks. He's got like a lumber contusion. So he's

1101
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: missed a couple of games here now and now maybe Maxi,

1102
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 1: or at least MAXI for a couple good here. I mean,

1103
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: I remember we were talking about sixers a couple of

1104
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We were getting excited, and it's gone to

1105
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: shit since then. And good luck replacing Maxi. I mean,

1106
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: you just can't. The guy leads him in scoring, assists,

1107
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 1: three pointers, steel shot attempts. He plays the most minutes

1108
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: in the league, at like nearly thirty nine minutes per game.

1109
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Nurse relies on him a lot, and he's

1110
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: played an all NBA level. But this is bad. This

1111
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: is bad. So now there's just holding on for dear

1112
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: life here for a play on appearance, I think at

1113
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: this point, with all these injuries to their main guys.

1114
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean they're locked into the play in

1115
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 3: h at least, and looking at the schedule Cavs, Grizzlies, Pistons, Nets,

1116
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 3: that's like one good team, one bad team, one good team,

1117
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 3: one bad team, silver lining. He's like you said, Maxi's

1118
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 3: played the most minutes in the league this season. He's

1119
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 3: struggled get into the All Star Break. He's basically thirty

1120
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: three percent from the field, and beat his missed so

1121
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 3: much time. Paul George isn't playing, so the impetus on

1122
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 3: all of the offense is for max right now. He's

1123
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 3: the only guy that can do anything out there, so

1124
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 3: actually getting to sit down for a few games it's

1125
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: probably beneficial to him. It would help if Himbiid could

1126
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 3: come back, give them his twenty six points and twenty

1127
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 3: five minutes that he does when he comes back. You

1128
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 3: think guy's automatic, Yeah, when he plays. So if he's

1129
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 3: able to play, I think they could at least beat

1130
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies in the NETS those kind of teams. And

1131
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 3: if Maxie doesn't sit out for too long, if he

1132
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 3: misses like a week, week and a half, it at

1133
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 3: least makes him the best team in the play in

1134
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 3: I would think, assuming Paul George comes back and gets

1135
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 3: into the swing of things by the end of the season,

1136
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 3: and assuming Embiid is ready to go come playoff time,

1137
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: these are of course question marks that the Sixers are

1138
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 3: always gonna have. But yeah, definitely not good to lose Maxie,

1139
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 3: but he will benefit by sitting down. And also, I'll

1140
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 3: say for me, the pinky is the fourth most important finger.

1141
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 1: Okay, give him, give a most.

1142
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 3: Of all you need to know is that the ring

1143
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 3: finger is the worst finger.

1144
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: Okay, you don't need it.

1145
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: It is the least consequential, yeah, at least consequential finger.

1146
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: The thumb special, yeah, thumb in the index finger.

1147
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would go thumb and index top two, and

1148
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 3: then middle finger a clear thirm yeah, and then the

1149
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 3: pinky imagine without.

1150
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 4: It, right, So fourth, Yeah, that's fair, I will say,

1151
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 4: chums calling it the fifth finger. I mean, is the

1152
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 4: thumb categorized as well? It's classified as what.

1153
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: It's a digit, you know, man? Is it?

1154
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1155
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 4: But it's what are you calling it? The first thing?

1156
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 4: It needs a number. If you're calling that the pinky

1157
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 4: the fifth finger.

1158
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 3: That's a great point.

1159
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:32,400
Speaker 2: What is it?

1160
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 3: I guess it's one.

1161
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: But you also couldn't say fourth finger. That sounds weird too,

1162
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: doesn't it? For the pinky meaning pinky? Yeah, I mean

1163
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: I get you call it. You gotta go digits heard

1164
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: his fifth digit and then I'm like, oh, yeah that's pinky.

1165
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

1166
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 3: And you're counting to five on one hand? Yeah, do

1167
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 3: you start with the you start with your index or

1168
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 3: do you start with your one?

1169
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: Two, three, four?

1170
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 5: Five?

1171
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: Wow? Fifth?

1172
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 3: The kind of the finger if you really.

1173
00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 2: Think about it, I get invent just invented new new

1174
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 2: name for it.

1175
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, pinky.

1176
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 4: No, just a new name for for because you have five,

1177
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 4: you have five fingers, we have a thumb, and there's

1178
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 4: got to be new new terminology.

1179
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: Okay, bops could just call it the pinky.

1180
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah I haven't everybody, Yeah, yeah, yeah you should have.

1181
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should have.

00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

Speaker 1: was at the Fortress watching Hawks sixers, and you know,

Speaker 1: who the hell is that guy on the sixers? Oh,

00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: that that's Trenton Watford. That's obviously that's his name. Yeah,

1188
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: that's his name. Who the hell is that guy that's

1189
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: Jabbari Walker. Actually he's not too bad. He's had some

1190
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: pretty good games. Who the hell is that guy? That's

1191
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: Cameron Payne. Yeah he's campaign. He's there now. Yeah, you

00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: they did not. That's crazy, they did not, But they

1196
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 1: put up a flight and you know they had a

1197
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: good game, Crimes and Kelly and like, you know, just

1198
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,319

1199
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: games from Jalen Johnson and Kilexanderwalker.

1200
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 4: I got I had that feeling watching The King's Highlights yesterday.

1201
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 4: They have a haze O kill Hayes. Definitely didn't think

1202
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 4: it was that haze, but it was Killian Hayes.

1203
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: Which haze?

1204
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 2: Did you think it was some random haze? I don't know.

1205
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: Pinky Hayes, Pinky hay Be.

1206

00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: in the comments. Tweet at us at No Dunk's Ink

1211
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: what by we by of the Night sponsored by Nathan Spicer,

1212
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: an author who is now cancer free, which we love

1213
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: to see. Nathan has been going through cancer and eleven

1214
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: other chronic ailments, including eller Danlos syndrome, a condition he

1215
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: discovered when he tore his shoulder from shooting a basketball,

1216
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: torn like three spots. While preparing for hundreds of doctor visits,

1217
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: he listened to No Dunks and he wrote books including

1218
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: listen to this title The Lamest of Legends, and I'm

1219
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: intrigued by this this right up. It's about the Greek

1220
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: gods regaining control of Earth but sucking at it because

1221
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: they haven't done so in like three thousand years, so

1222
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: everything's going horribly wrong. Yeah, the hijacks. So I read

1223
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: that like.

1224
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 2: Something there. Nathan said, I can make it happen.

1225
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: Okay, you get us copied?

1226
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, or He also mentioned there's many books that he's written,

1227
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 4: so I'm not sure if this was the one that

1228
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,720
Speaker 4: he said he could give you an audio version version.

1229
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 4: I don't remember exactly, but he's got you.

1230
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: You think this is a numb diplume. Nathan Spicer is

1231
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good author name to me.

1287
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 2: episode of Cheryl Miller. This was a good one.

1288
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 4: Okay, this was in the summer, I think, Yeah, you know,

1289
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 4: she told all the stories about when her and Reggie

1290
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 4: just talked trash to each other.

1291
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 2: It was really good. It was really good. Thanks to

1292
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 2: Matt Kelly Barnes. I didn't know his middle name was

1293
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: Kelly number one. Didn't know he was a Matt legally,

1294
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: not a math.

1295
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: Not a Matthew.

1296
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, now you know Matt Kelly.

1297
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:47,439
Speaker 3: Barnes, Kelly Barnes either, all.

1298
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,959
Speaker 1: Right, pick him. I am in a hole. You guys

1299
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 1: just keep picking together and I keep picking against you,

1300
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 1: and it's not working. I'm one in four. You guys

1301
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: are four and one here. So where we're going tonight?

1302
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 4: We're going to La the Knicks visiting the Clippers because

1303
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 4: they got it back to back. First, they lost the Lakers.

1304
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 4: Now they play the Clippers tonight. They're favored by two

1305
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 4: and a half. This was a tough one for me

1306
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 4: if that was a coin flip. But I looked back

1307
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 4: and they went on a West coast trip nearly a

1308
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 4: year to the day, and they lost both games on

1309
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 4: the March March sixth and seventh last year to the LAS.

1310
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,919
Speaker 4: So I decided, all right, that's my excuse for picking

1311
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 4: the Clippers.

1312
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Trey also picking the Clippers. Why why are you going

1313
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: with the Clippers straight?

1314
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I just think in LA back to back

1315
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 3: is hard, and they got the long travel now forty

1316
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 3: minutes unting on traffic between the two arenas. But the

1317
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 3: bigger issue is partying all night and then having to

1318
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 3: come play a game on the next day.

1319
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

1320
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I have the Knicks. Did the graphic go up? Okay?

1321
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 5: I was I'm having some issues with my lower thirds here.

1322
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw that during Losers. Yeah yeah, okay,

1323
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: like that anyway, got the next Okay, good luck to

1324
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: you Clippers. That's on the cock second game on the Cocktail?

01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,000

01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: see it in the in the slacks, see.

1327
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 2: What doing the graphic? I didn't see the graphic.

1328
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't send it. Yeah, that's why I asked. Okay,

1330
