Speaker 1: what was going on? Because we talked about last last episode,

00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: in Idaho, So tell us about that that experience.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 3: The experience was amazing.

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: That was my first time being at a film festival,

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 4: so I was out of my space, out of my

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 4: element a little bit, but it was super dope to

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: be able to meet so many filmmakers, directors, producers, you know,

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: everything in that space and for us to show our

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 4: short dock go forward, it was amazing. Like the feedback

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 4: was like it put a smile on my face just

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: because and my dad. My dad came too, so that

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: was big. That was the first time he ever seen it,

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: even though like he had some interviews in it, so

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: it was touching for him, But it touched everybody that

31
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: put their eyes on it, Like it was. I'm getting

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: feedback you know since since that night from everybody that

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 4: was there. So I can't wait for you know, the

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: world to see it because it's super impactful.

35
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: It's super inspiring.

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: Obviously, it's something like I talked about earlier with grief.

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: That's something you know, everybody is familiar with. You know,

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: one thing we got all got in common is somebody

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: you're going through grief or some type of adversity. So

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: it's one of them short dogs to where like itah

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: lift you up a little bit, like it'll make you

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: it's an emotional roller coaster. But we got a lot

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: of great feedback and it's only going to be bigger

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: and better down the line.

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, was it at all like hooping where you know,

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the first time, maybe you want a game where you

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: kind of hit flow state or whatever, like seeing people

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're making these these films, you're

49
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: you're shooting at you're you know, you're the main main character.

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: You're sitting in the editing booth, you're watching it with

51
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of you know, your trusted collaborators.

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: But now you're showing it to the people.

53
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: So, like, what was that feeling seeing everyone react to

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: it for the first time.

55
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 4: It was emotional, Honestly it was because it's so touching.

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 4: Like obviously it happened to me, my little sister, my family,

57
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 4: so it's emotional. But like like I said, it was

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: the emotional roller coaster. You get people smiling and laughing

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: and seeing memories, and then you get people crying and

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: and and needn't tissue the whole time because it's that deep.

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: But then towards the end you got people smiling again

62
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: because it's super in inspiring. And we had a few

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 4: people raise their hand after when we had some q

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: and a's about things that just it really touched them,

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: like they didn't know what they were coming to see.

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 4: That's why the film festivals are so dope because a

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 4: lot of people who participate in those you don't know

68
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: what movie you're going to watch, you don't know what

69
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 4: short doc you're going to watch. So when you see

70
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: something out of the ordinary that you didn't eve even expect,

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: which a lot of people did, it was it was

72
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: super dope. And like I said, it was it was

73
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: cool to see my dad shower with some love over

74
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 4: you know, a tragic situation. But to see him smile

75
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 4: as much as he did when people was coming up

76
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: to him, you know, talking to him about just his

77
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: strength and his you know, inspiration and moving forward. It

78
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: was everything. So that was that was the That was

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: the best part of the weekend. And just seeing my

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: dad shower with a little bit of love and seeing

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: him smiling and be in a good space.

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: I love that everyone go check out, go for when

83
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: you get an opportunity. I'm excited.

84
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: I want to see in the theater setting now after

85
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: a hntle about it. Another thing that happens since we

86
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: last recorded, And I didn't even see this because you

87
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: posted it. I saw this because I follow all these

88
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: basketball aggregator accounts. But your son made his freshman debut

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: from if I'm not.

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: Mistaken, right, Yeah, And.

91
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so here's from a fan standpoint, here's what I

92
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: what I The experience that I love when I see

93
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: this for the first time is they go, oh, the

94
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: son of whatever you know star and then you see

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: their game and it's it's like watching you all over.

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: You see the stuff that he picked up, like it

97
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: was like watching watching you again, but like walk us

98
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: through that. You know, I'm a father too, so I

99
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: can't even imagine that feeling. So tell us all about that.

100
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: You've been watching him and helping them grow as a player,

101
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: and now you get to see him put it all

102
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: to work.

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: So my oldest son, James, is fifteen. He's a freshman

104
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: at Ai Wright High School in Tacoma. He had his

105
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 4: first high school game and it's crazy because, like that

106
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 4: was one of my proud dad moments, just seeing him

107
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 4: in the starting lineup, get his name called. That's the

108
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 4: first time he's probably been in a starting lineup situation

109
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 4: where they got an announcer and things like that. And

110
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: to see him have a good game and most importantly

111
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: his team win. Like he had twenty six points, eight assists,

112
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 4: three rebounds, two steals like and he missed three or

113
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 4: four free throws, so he didn't have a perfect game.

114
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: But it was amazing to just sit back and see

115
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: him be able to.

116
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: Experience that because I remember my first high school game

117
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: and it's crazy because my first high school game, I

118
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: had twenty six points as well, So I had a

119
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: bet with him, like, I know you're not gonna be

120
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: able to pass that, and the only reason why he

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: did it because he missed three free throws so he

122
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 4: would have had twenty nine. But it was amazing, man,

123
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 4: I all my family could do. My dad, my wife,

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: his siblings obviously, is just smiled because it was a

125
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 4: big moment for all of us.

126
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: Like it was cool.

127
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: So I was shout out to big game James, James

128
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 4: the Great having a successful high school debut.

129
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: But you know, I was.

130
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: A proud dad, But the competitor in me is like,

131
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: it's onto the next We gotta be bigger and better,

132
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: we gotta this is expected. So it was a super

133
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 4: cool moment being a dad, but also for our family

134
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: just seeing him be able to be in high school

135
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: and be on his own.

136
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Man, that's always wondering if that you said, the competitor

137
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: and you were you like taking notes at all where

138
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: you guys break down the game, watching films.

139
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: Look, we do, we do it all.

140
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: I got notes on my phone throughout the game last night.

141
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: We just watched the first two games because they played

142
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: a game after that too.

143
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: So they won.

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: We watched both games, all games, every possession. He's in

145
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 4: both sides of the floor. Just trying to be that

146
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: coach for him as well, so like trying to put

147
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: him in allow him to see things he might not

148
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: see while he's playing, because I always tell him watching

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 4: films the answers to the test and if you start

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: watch film at this age, like it's only going to

151
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: become a habit and it's only going to make you

152
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: better down the road.

153
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: So he didn't like some of the things.

154
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: I was saying, but you know, constructive criticism at his

155
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: at his finest.

156
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that's got to be awesome to see. I

157
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: was watching JJ Crawford's highlights were coming out too.

158
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: It's just like we talked.

159
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: We've talked about it so many times of like you guys,

160
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: we were mentored, you know by some of the grades

161
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: and now your own kids, you know, are already out there.

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: It's it's awesome.

163
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: It's just kind of the tradition continues, and I think

164
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: NBA fans, basketball fans in general are like, oh, you

165
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: got to look out for that kid like their dad

166
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: is is so and so, And it's honestly just yeah,

167
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: JJ too.

168
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: His handle is.

169
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: You see his bounce to it, It's like he looks

170
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: just like his dad. But it's shout out to Jamal,

171
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: Shout out to jj Man. JJ had a hell of

172
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: a high school debut one of the top teams in

173
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: the country at Rainer Beach High School. So shout out

174
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 4: to my bro Jamal and my my young nephew, JJ Man.

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: The sky's the limit for these kids.

176
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm coming up there. I got to watch some of

177
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: these games live.

178
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: Oh you got to it's live. It's live too.

179
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, let's go into the league. So were we

180
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier before. A big name is potentially in on

181
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: the trade block. Janni Santacumpo, a guy who I feel

182
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: like a few years ago seemed untouchable.

183
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: They had won the championship.

184
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: They've gone through the last couple of seasons some rough

185
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: years after winning the championship to a couple of coaching

186
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: changes and and you know they they kind of exited

187
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: the Dame Lillard plan here, and you know, Joannis got

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: hurt the other night, left the game with right calf strain.

189
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: I think he's out for about four weeks. And the

190
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: story leaked out that they're actually him and his agent

191
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: are going to discuss with the Bucks his future. So

192
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: I guess, in general, how realistic do you think that

193
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: we could see Jannis traded in on another team this season?

194
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: That quick?

195
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, there's not not not saying. I don't know

196
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 4: if it would be DCS, I'm not sure, but to

197
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: have that dialogue and it's only the beginning of December,

198
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: for a guy of that caliber, something is true behind that.

199
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: So I don't see him being in the Milwaukee Bucks

200
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: uniform for much longer because one their roster isn't constructed

201
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: to compete for a championship, as we've seen at the

202
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 4: start of this year. I honestly don't think they're good

203
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: enough right now. And for a guy like that who's

204
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: been so successful obviously he's won a championship multiple MVPs.

205
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 4: When you get to become that age, you kind of

206
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: don't want to waste any more years. You want to

207
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: be put in position to where you got a chance

208
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: to win a championship each and every year. And I

209
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: honestly believe like Milwaukee's window might be closing, or it

210
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: might have already closed.

211
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: In terms of competing for a championship.

212
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: Obviously after losing Drew Holliday, then Damian Lillard played a

213
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: year or two in Milwaukee and then didn't you know,

214
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 4: get that much success as they thought they would, And

215
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 4: then for Giannest to even you know, slip up and

216
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 4: get injured the other night, like it's it's it's a

217
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: tough go around. I think I think he's gonna weigh

218
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: his options and see where, you know, the best, most

219
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: realistic place he can go. But I think his time

220
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: is coming to an end in Milwaukee. And and like

221
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 4: you said, you would never have thought he would leave

222
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 4: Milwaukee just just because it seemed like he was he

223
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: would be a lifer. And obviously we could be wrong,

224
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 4: but I think I think it might be done with

225
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: with the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis.

226
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: It's so fascinating, you know, you win a championship and

227
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the expectation is you got to keep winning more.

228
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: Right like we saw coach Budd get Get let go.

229
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: They brought an Adrian Griffin, they fired him despite them

230
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: having a dese pretty decent record, you know, and then

231
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: they get they went out and got Dame. That didn't

232
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, Dame didn't. Dame got hurt. You know, it's

233
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: not that it didn't work, it's just he got hurt.

234
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: And I feel like they've tried so many things in

235
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: this small window that they're just calling it. You know,

236
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: they're kind of call and not you know, so, I

237
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: mean probably getting frustrated.

238
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: Too, exactly. That's that's the most important thing right there.

239
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: He's getting frustrated. And then he has nobody, no disrespect

240
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 4: to any other players on his team. They're obviously NBA

241
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: players are good, but he has nobody he can look

242
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: down on that roster and honestly say that can compete

243
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: for a championship today. And that's the tough part, especially

244
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 4: when you're losing. You know, all those things come into

245
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: play in terms of getting traded, figuring things out where

246
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: you're going to go next. When you're winning, it takes

247
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 4: care of all of that. And obviously they're not winning

248
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: right now, so it's just a tough situation to be in.

249
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: I think he got a lot of love for Milwaukee.

250
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: It just might be time to move forward.

251
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So where do you think he's going?

252
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: Who wants them?

253
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: Who can make the moves?

254
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: I mean, everybody wants them. But he's going to New

255
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: York for sure. He's going to a big market.

256
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

257
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to go to La or

258
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: anywhere on the West where, which I mean, if that's

259
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 4: an opportunity, you might see him in La La Lamb.

260
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: But New York. I think that.

261
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: Would be an ideal situation for him. Like I just big,

262
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 4: the big Apple.

263
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: But they got to give up a big one of

264
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: these big guys like and are willing.

265
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: To give you gotta give up Cat.

266
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so a smart move.

267
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: And it's it's crazy that I'm even asking this, but like,

268
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: you make it to the Eastern Conference finals.

269
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: You know the Pacers are out.

270
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 3: Do this. Let's say this, would you make that move? Yeah?

271
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: I guess it's like yeah, I mean you only there's

272
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: only one shot at Yannis that might be right now.

273
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 4: That's like like obviously, all due respect the Cat or

274
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: whoever will be in that trade. But it's like this

275
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: is the window. You talked about it a minute ago.

276
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: They it's only a small window to really win a championship.

277
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 4: So like even if if New York didn't make that

278
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: trade and they go with this team and they don't

279
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: get past the Eastern Conference finals, they're in the office

280
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: looking like we got we might have to make a move.

281
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: And that's back to back years of being successful. Like

282
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 4: so the window of winning the championship is maybe two

283
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: to three years, and then you got to kind of

284
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 4: look on and look what's next and what the possibilities

285
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 4: can So obviously just throwing that out there, I don't

286
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: think that with trade Jayalen Brunson, but you know, anything's

287
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 4: on the line when like Luca got traded, so nothing

288
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: like everything's you know, nothing is off limits.

289
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: That's crazy after the Luca thing, like anyone can go,

290
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: anyone can go.

291
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 4: It's from here on out, anyone can go at any time.

292
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I do think, you know, Janni says he's still incredible,

293
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: but he is an older player, and we've honestly seen

294
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of years young guys and and you know,

295
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: these solid role players are are almost you know, winning

296
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: the championships. So like I guess the question is and

297
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I and I can even you know, say some scenarios here,

298
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: but like.

299
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: How much is too much for Yon?

300
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: So like in the Rockets case, you know, where they've

301
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: made some great movies over the last couple of years.

302
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: You know they can contend, Like would you do like

303
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: an Alprin Sangoon and a Fred van Vliet who is

304
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: hurt and then a first round pick for Yannis?

305
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 4: See, that's tough. You probably wouldn't because that Goon is

306
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 4: so young. Yeah, so you got to put that into

307
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 4: consideration too. Obviously it sounds good, it looks good, but

308
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: I don't think Houston is like, because it does that,

309
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, does that guarantee you

310
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: a championship? So unless it guarantees you something, I don't

311
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: think you're going to give up, you know, a younger

312
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: player that's a star right now to get Yannis and

313
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: not guarantee you going to the finals. So it's hard,

314
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 4: Like I'm not no front office god guy, but I'm

315
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: thinking that's how they're thinking.

316
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well for my Lakers, you know, because everyone's this season,

317
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: everyone's like Reaves untouchable now. But even though he was

318
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: constantly being thrown in trade trade Tarz last couple of years,

319
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, Austin and.

320
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: Ruey, you know, the to the Bucks.

321
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: The Bucks get some picks or whatever, and the Lakers

322
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: don't have that many picks anymore. But would you do

323
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: something like that where we've seen We've seen Reeves and

324
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Ruey in the in the postseason. They got to the

325
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: Western Commerce Finals once, but they didn't last year. Like,

326
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: do you do a Yannis have a Yannis Lebron and Luca.

327
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves, You're out of here, bro Ruey, that's my

328
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: rooking Washington Wizards, You're out of here.

329
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: You're out of here.

330
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: Like if that, if that scenario came up, do I

331
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: think the Lakers would do it?

332
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: I I'm not sure.

333
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: If I'm in the front office, I might Like that's

334
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: that's one that is going to get you a little

335
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: closer right now. Like obviously, Reeves's a little younger, Ruey's

336
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 4: younger as well. But if I'm trying to win a

337
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: championship within the next year or two, that's getting me closer.

338
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: Off off top, Okay, one more, one more West West

339
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Coast scenario.

340
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: Here's here.

341
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: This one's interesting because we talked about Yannis to the Warriors.

342
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: So here's a trade package for the Warriors with Sin

343
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, Jonathan Kaminga, Buddy Healed a twenty six, twenty eight,

344
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: and thirty first round pick, and you get Yannis and

345
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: also don't forget if you get Yannest, he also get Fanasis.

346
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, he gotta come, he gotta go. It's

347
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: definitely slide.

348
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: Would you would you give a Draymond and Kaminga and

349
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: Buddy Heal?

350
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: I would do that because Draymond's towards the end of

351
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 4: his career, Kaminga is the important piece. Milwaukee will be

352
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 4: in rebuild mode, so they can kind of build around

353
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 4: a young star or potential star. There's a few draft

354
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: picks in there. And then did you name one other

355
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 4: buddy by Shooter? You can always you can always go

356
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: with a Shooter and then but with the Warriors, it's

357
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: like when you make that trade, you guys gotta win today,

358
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,119
Speaker 4: Like you guys gotta.

359
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: Win right now for it to make sense.

360
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: You guys gotta win this year or either next year

361
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 4: and then figure that thing out. So it's tough because

362
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: as it puts your future in jeopardy of being good

363
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 4: in your future. But like the NBA is all about

364
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 4: what have you done lately. They don't really care about

365
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: the future like that exactly.

366
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: And you know, honestly, with we talked about at a

367
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: bunch okayc in the season they're having, it's just like

368
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: people are going to start making some rash decisions.

369
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: You're going to cause it's like, can we keep up

370
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: with oka See?

371
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: Yeah?

372
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: So you know, the NBA is all about the copycat league.

373
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 4: Everybody's going to try to mimic what Okac has. So

374
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: that's the direction, especially if Okay See wins it again

375
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 4: this year. The direction that the NBA would be the

376
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 4: style of players they have, the style of play that

377
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: they have, and then you got to adjust to that.

378
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: That's how it was with the Warriors in the two

379
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: thousand and you know, fifteen on, everybody was trying to

380
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: find everybody was trying to run their offense. Everybody was

381
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 4: trying to find shooters like them, and you just couldn't

382
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: because you're not. You'll find a shooter, but he's not

383
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: clearly as good as you know, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry.

384
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 4: And then when they added Kevin Durant, it was it

385
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: was correct.

386
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: They corrected it.

387
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: It was like, oh, now, y'all are cheating. It was

388
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: even fun. No more.

389
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: All right, on that note, we're gonna go to break

390
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 2: and we'll come back. We're talk at NBA Cup. All right,

391
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: we're back on point game.

392
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the NBA Cup just overall it.

393
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, we're about three years into it.

394
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: Do you feel like this was a good decision?

395
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: Is it working?

396
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: Are you even as like a fan? Do you think

397
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: this is helping out the league and people being more

398
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: attentive during the regular season.

399
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a good thing. I think it's it's

400
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 4: been successful. I think it puts, you know, money in

401
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: guys pockets. Obviously, it makes it a little more competitive

402
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 4: when there's some money on the line. But I think

403
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 4: it's a good thing for the fans. It's something you

404
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 4: can you know they're there. Are they putting banners up?

405
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: Aren't they putting banners up for the couch?

406
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: Well, and so I remember when the Lakers won it

407
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: their first year, people.

408
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: Are like, don't put that banner up.

409
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: That's yeah, but look if a team like Detroit wins it,

410
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: or you know somebody that don't get banners like that,

411
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 4: I'm putting that up in the this facility at.

412
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: Least, I think the banners the check.

413
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: The check is what the check is. What they're playing

414
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: for first and foremost.

415
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing is like the Vets, even though

416
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: they that check doesn't you know, with some of their contracts,

417
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean much.

418
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: You got to do it for the go is That's

419
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. You do it for the guys. It's

420
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 4: on two ways. You do it for the younger guys.

421
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: You also which is dope. That happens even in the playoffs.

422
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 4: When you go further in the playoffs, obviously you get

423
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: playoff checks and bonuses. But it goes to like the

424
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 4: support staff throughout the organization like that, that's always important

425
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 4: as well. When there's incentives on these things, a lot

426
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 4: of the guys, especially the older guys, is given a

427
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 4: little breakdown to the trainer is given a little breakdown

428
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: to somebody that works in the front office. So like,

429
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 4: these things are a valuable piece in you know, organizations

430
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: throughout the year as well.

431
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: So shout out to you know, the support staff.

432
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 4: In each organization, man, because you know without them, you know,

433
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 4: things wouldn't flow as easy as it does.

434
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: All I got to say, if like my my yearly

435
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: bonus relied on Lebron or SGA.

436
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: I'd be happy about that, you know.

437
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: I'd be good. But then if your yearly bonus relied

438
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: on somebody else, we won't even man. You know, there's

439
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: a few teams you're like, we got no chance. This

440
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: ain't it.

441
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: The other aspect that they did is these courts, which

442
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: we won't get in trouble here, but some of these

443
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: courts they have taken some chances and they saw some

444
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: issues with They're like highlight colors. Some players are slipping

445
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: on the paint, Like what do you think about that?

446
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 2: That feature?

447
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 3: They're just doing too much right now.

448
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 4: I know, like I know, like when you're turning on TV,

449
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 4: if you see something like that, you might stop and

450
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 4: watch it. I think that's why they're doing it. But

451
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 4: they're doing they're doing a lot with the court. That's

452
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 4: one thing.

453
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 3: Like the Cup.

454
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 4: I like the idea about it and everything behind it.

455
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 4: The courts is nasty. The courts is bad. We got

456
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 4: to change that, Oudam silver it is.

457
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: I remember I was a big proponent anyone who falls

458
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: my NBA Twitter. I was like, I want the Larry

459
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: O'Brian trophy back on the finals court, you know, and

460
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: then they're like, oh, we can't do it because you know,

461
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: the paint mess things up. But then they would do

462
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: the season tournament.

463
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: Trophy. I'm big. I'm big on the trophy being in

464
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 3: the finals too. That was That was classic, bro.

465
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: That's classic, right, Like it makes me feel like you're

466
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: watching the most.

467
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 3: Important being season man for real.

468
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: But I think they're fixing that. But anyways, back to

469
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: the Cup. All right, so let's walk through some of

470
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: these matchups. I know you have a favorite, but let's

471
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: talk about maybe your favorite and who you think might

472
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: be a dark horse in the in the I mean

473
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: in the tournament coming up. So in the quarter finals,

474
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: we got okay, see Suns, Lakers, Spurs, Magic, Heat, Raptors, Knicks.

475
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: So let's talk about who do you think is going

476
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: to take it all? And then who could be your

477
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: dark horse?

478
00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 3: I got okay, see teking it.

479
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 4: I know that's an easy pick, but they're definitely the

480
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 4: best team in the league. They still got a lot

481
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: of young guys that are, you know, chasing some bread too,

482
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: so you always got to think about that as well.

483
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: If it means something to a team.

484
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: I got them winning it.

485
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 4: If Winby was If Winby was healthy, the Spurs would

486
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: be my dark horse.

487
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: But I might go with who was the other two

488
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: on the other side.

489
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Magic Heat and Raptors Knicks.

490
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: That's that's tough right there. I don't know.

491
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 4: I would say, you're I would go in New York

492
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: on the other side. I got okay seeing New York

493
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 4: in there, and then they can battle. They can battle

494
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 4: it out because of.

495
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: The issue I had with March.

496
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: Madness is so fun because it's one game elimination, and

497
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: I you know, I feel like when I was growing up,

498
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: everyone's like, what if the playoff NBA playoffs for one

499
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: game elimination? Like this isn't crazy, you know, but this

500
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: is like the closest we're gonna get to it.

501
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 2: So it is it?

502
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Well, okase he's been so dominant. All takes is on

503
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: any given night in this case.

504
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: No who's the best team on that night. That's why

505
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: it makes it more exciting. So yeah, I got okay. See,

506
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 4: but I'm a basketball here.

507
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: I know.

508
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: Anything can happen when it's just one game. It could

509
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: be somebody's career night.

510
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: You ever know, any any danger do you think?

511
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: And and these guys winning a bunch of money and

512
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: then walking out and it's the casinos in Vegas.

513
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 4: Oh it's going down. I'm telling I'm telling you right now.

514
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 4: So that's not unless they leave right after the game.

515
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they going, They're gonna be on the Blackjack,

516
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 4: They're gonna be they're gonna be doing all that for sure,

517
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: unless they're leaving. A smart team will have their guys

518
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 4: leaving directly after the game.

519
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 2: You get on the plane, get out of there.

520
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 4: Uh nah, because it's gonna be some trouble or that

521
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: check is gonna go somewhere else.

522
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 2: Well do you think you know?

523
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: Because they keep I feel like they keep hinting that

524
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: Vegas might get a team, and this might have been

525
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: like sort of like teasing that. Do you think it's

526
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: a good idea even just like looking at all the

527
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: other pro teams.

528
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: That have gone to Vegas?

529
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: You know, we got the Athletics going to the Raiders

530
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: are there now and it's still kind of an experiment phase.

531
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: You think it's good if the NBA expands to Vegas.

532
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, first they got to expand the Seattle, So shout

533
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: out to the Sonics, we need them back.

534
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, Vegas would be good. I think. I don't

535
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: think it would be a bad thing for the home team.

536
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 4: Like you you are where you live, Like if you

537
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 4: live in Vegas, you're not going to the casino, You're

538
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: not doing.

539
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 3: All that all the time.

540
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the role teams that are coming in that

541
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 4: are coming to Vegas and going to have a good time.

542
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 4: So I do think Vegas needs a team. We've seen

543
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 4: with the other sports they've been successful, like hockey I

544
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 4: think won their first year they were there.

545
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: Football is doing.

546
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 4: I don't know about the Raiders, but as baseball gets

547
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 4: there as well.

548
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: You got the w NBA.

549
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: Shout out to the w NBA who's won a few

550
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 4: championship Dona Las Vegas exactly. So I think it's a

551
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: good thing if the NBA goes to Vegas.

552
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: It just would be a tough little situation for the

553
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: role teams for sure.

554
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to get killed for saying this because, uh,

555
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, and a few years ago people are like, oh,

556
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers, if they removed, they got to go up

557
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: to Seattle.

558
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: I think the Clippers should go to Vegas. I think

559
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: in the last few.

560
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Years with everything going on, and I feel like we've

561
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: seen Clippers I saw Clippers fan the other day die.

562
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: Our Clippers fans say he's done with the franchise, he's

563
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 1: gonna become.

564
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 3: I've seen that.

565
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: If I'm a Clipper fan, I'm doing that too. Though

566
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 4: they're disappointing. I'm sorry, and they.

567
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: Say no clickbait or nothing.

568
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 4: No, highly disappointed, disappointing. And then on top of what

569
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: they did, the CP three is like, come on.

570
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: Man, we called it here, we called it.

571
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: We did, we did, we did? We did? No, we did,

572
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: we did?

573
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 2: So what okay?

574
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: Segue into that what happens to CP? And I don't

575
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: care disregard any of what really happened there they said,

576
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: I think just even I guess recap it. They said

577
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: that they didn't like CP's leadership, which is crazy because

578
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: we've seen how impactful positively CEP's leadership has been through

579
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: other teams. So like what, I guess, Yeah, what was

580
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: your reaction in seeing that? Literally hours after we were

581
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: talking about it on the pod last week?

582
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 4: Man, it was crazy, but I mean you started to

583
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 4: hear little things like just how they were treating him.

584
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 4: Obviously CP three is a Hall of first Ballot, Hall

585
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 4: of Famer. Uh, he's a leader first and foremost whole

586
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 4: guys accountable, and it just sounds like it was opposite

587
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 4: of what they wanted. And maybe his voice was too

588
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 4: strong in the locker room, but they knew that before

589
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 4: they signed them how strong of a voice he has.

590
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 3: So it's a tough situation.

591
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: Obviously, I'm not in those locker rooms, so I don't

592
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 4: know exactly what happened.

593
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 3: But you don't. You don't.

594
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 4: You don't do that, no matter how bad it is, Like,

595
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: you know, you figure that out, especially for a guy

596
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: that signed there to sign off his career and go

597
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: out on a great note and the way he should.

598
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 4: I think you figure that out behind closed doors and

599
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 4: and you just ride with that the rest of the season.

600
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: So it's crazy.

601
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: We spoke about that before it happened, but it's definitely

602
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: not crazy it happened that.

603
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: No, it's because that's the one thing is like, also

604
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: from a PR standpoint, every player who ever played with CP,

605
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: we have Blake Griffin, who you know, went through some

606
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: similar stuff over there. It's like the Clippers aren't helping

607
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: themselves out. You know, everyone came out and was like,

608
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: how can you do CP? Like this waving during his

609
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: farewell tour.

610
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: So even the players coming out like Kawhi and James

611
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: Harden like I ain't know nothing about this, like I didn't,

612
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: So it's it's just a lot going on over there.

613
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously we don't know about but.

614
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 4: It's it's it's it's within that locker room that has

615
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 4: to get fixed or this is gonna be a wastive

616
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 4: a season.

617
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: Do you think a team picks up CP.

618
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 3: I hope a team picks him up. I don't know

619
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: if they will.

620
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 4: It got to be a situation to where, you know,

621
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: they they want him to receive his flowers for his

622
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: last year, obviously, but I hope a team does. Maybe

623
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 4: a team like Charlotte does, just because he's from there.

624
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like they they've talked about LaMelo

689
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: The wild thing, and I got to confirm this before

690
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I even opened my mouth. But people

691
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: said because he was a lacrosse like legend and heard

692
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: about that, they're saying like it's like if Michael Jordan, uh,

693
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, decided. I mean it is Michael Jordan case

694
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: where he went over to basketball and was at whatever

695
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: the baseball is actually good at baseball, like they said,

696
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: he was that dude when it came to lacrosse. So

697
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he's doing this just seems like he's.

698
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 4: Different and he's like, I mean, he looks like a

699
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: lttle cross player right the way you look like he.

700
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: So that's why it's super dope. Like he really just

701
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 4: decided to play basketball. Obviously he got talent and he's good. Yeah,

702
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 4: but like he's really doing his thing and then probably

703
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 4: proving so many people wrong that we're probably on the

704
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: probably really like what are you doing while trying to

705
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 4: go to the NBA? Right, so you know, shout out

706
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 4: to him, keep doing your thing, keep swagging out on us,

707
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: keep talking y'all.

708
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: Shit.

709
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it him yelling at the back.

710
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 2: He yelled at his own.

711
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: Bench after he going, he's going like they got a faby,

712
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: he's doing all that.

713
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: So I like his energy, man, and it seemed like

714
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: his teammates like him. So that's that's half the battle.

715

718
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: so we'll bring back a Bucketer brick. We still haven't

719
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,120

720
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: You've been opened up with us, so you get a

721
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: few stories here. I got one.

722
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I got one today because but I

723
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: would love your viewpoint on this stuff.

724
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go bucking on all these I bet.

725
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: But the first story I wanted to bring up Desmond

726
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Bain chucked the ball at Og and Anobi the other day.

727
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 6: Og inside Oh, I want to play from Blake Oh,

728
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 6: and Bane throws it off, had an Obi hand on

729
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 6: Obi shoves baby. I've s Bain wanted to save it

730
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 6: and get possession, but he threw it like it was

731
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 6: throwing a fastball.

732
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Desmond rebound the ball, just chucked it at Og. What

733
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: was going on there?

734
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 4: I was, I'm still trying to figure out, like, do

735
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: you not like that guy? Like what the hell was

736
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: going on?

737
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 6: Like?

738
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: That was because he could have when he got it,

739
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: he could have just went the other way, Like he's

740
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: not like he saved it out of bounds and he

741
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 4: was like they were already out of bounds. If you ever,

742
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: if you watch it again, he really could have grabbed

743
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: it and just went the other way. He really like

744
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 4: aimed it fastball.

745
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 3: Straight to the ribs. I'm like, damn funny.

746
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: The funniest part was that he is he pointed to

747
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: their position because it technically was.

748
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: Out on Ojones out on him.

749
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 5: He was what I do.

750
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: It's like, what do you mean? What'd you do?

751
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: I wish I could ask him because that was if

752
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,959
Speaker 4: I was on the bench, I would have been like,

753
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 4: oh my goodness, I would have I would have thought

754
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: they had some type of beef. And he's trying to

755
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: do the right like the wrong thing, but legally like

756
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: he was trying to like get him back for some

757
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 4: I was like, dang, and.

758
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 1: Maybe Og is playing innocent, but like they asked him

759
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: during an interview and he was like, actually think Desmond's

760
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: a great guy.

761
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: Maybe you can.

762
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: Say that just to like I'm saying, you could tell.

763
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: He reacted like what are you doing? Bro?

764
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: And then they said something and he was like, it's

765
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 4: all good, bro, it's hard.

766
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: So that was a crazy exchange.

767
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 4: I was.

768
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: I never seen nothing like that, especially when you didn't

769
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: have to go out of bounds.

770
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, our next one, so that was a bucket.

771
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: This next one, this one isn't even that that dicey

772
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: or controversial. But during halftime the other day, okay, see

773
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: for chet, Holmgren gave props to Red Panda during halftime.

774
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: Now I feel like we don't hear you guys got

775
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: to see these acts all the time. So what do

776
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,960

Speaker 4: a few times in action.

780
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: Well okay, so how is she the goat I guess

781
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: of halftime acts in the NBA.

782
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: I mean, she gotta be one of them, Like she's everywhere.

783
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 4: I think every team I played for, I've probably seen

784
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 4: her at the halftime show when I'm trying.

785
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: To get some shots up. She over there doing her things.

786
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 4: So nah, she definitely got to be on the on

787
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 4: the mount rushmore.

788
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: So okay, let's put her up against the you know

789
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: the quick change people. You see the quick change people.

790
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 4: I've seen I've seen them in Sacramento. They had an

791
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 4: artist he used to like he used to like draw this,

792
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 4: maybe a lion or somebody, a famous artist, so quick

793
00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: and it was like the.

794
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 3: Most just it was a it was a dope little show.

795
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 3: So I've seen a lot.

796
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 2: Obviously that's a as an NBA player, that.

797
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 4: Is funnybody's knowing, everybody's knowing Red Panda.

798
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

799
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 2: No, it's like unless you're a.

800
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 4: Young unless you're a young guy that does this, doesn't

801
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 4: doesn't really know too much.

802
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: I'm not ready for that for a well tour Red Panda,

803
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 2: not at all.

804
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: She gotta keep it going, yeah.

805
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: Or there's gotta be like a son or daughter of

806
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: Red pand or something.

807
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it gotta it, gotta it, gotta go in

808
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 4: the family for show.

809
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: Okay, So this one video, I feel like all these

810
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: court side videos are coming out.

811
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 2: This is the power of cell phones.

812
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: But somebody caught Jazz coach Will Hardy cussing out his team.

813
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 3: He was going, I'm.

814
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: Tired of doing this everyfing game, play effing Harder. So, uh,

815
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: because I saw some of the criticism people being like, man,

816
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: people are gonna, they're gonna those players are gonna turn

817
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: against them and get them out of there. But like,

818
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: did you feel like that was necessary, uh for for

819
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: coach Already to go off on those players like that.

820
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's a time and place for all that. Like,

821
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: he's probably really tired of it. It's probably been a

822
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 4: situation where the last couple of games that came out

823
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: like that. So like, yeah, for people to hear him

824
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 4: say that, it's like, oh dang, they're not gonna It's

825
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 4: like that's normal talk in the NBA, especially if you

826
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: if you're not on track and doing the right stuff.

827
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 4: That's most coaches are going to talk to you like that.

828
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: Everybody's grown, nobody's taking it personal. But you can tell

829
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 4: he's sick and tired of him saying the same thing

830
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 4: over and over. And I've been in those situations as

831
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: a player, being on the losing team or a rebuilding team,

832
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: and every few games you hear the same stuff, you

833
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 4: hear the same thing, So it's definitely frustrated for a coach,

834
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 4: frustrating for you know, a whole team as well. But

835
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: now that's normal talk, so he's he's just upset. That's

836
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 4: something that just keeps happening.

837
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.

838
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: And finally, Adam Silver, he went to a Pacers Nuggets

839
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: game recently and he was doing some commentary. I think

840
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: it was one of when Jamal Murray was dropping fifty

841
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: and and I think that the conversation came up where

842
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: Adam Silver was caught as saying that the league may

843
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: have over calibrated, thinking that the fans wanted to see

844
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: more offense. And I think he was sort of pointing

845
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 1: to that the league favors offense, so like some foul baiting,

846
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: all that stuff people, you know, the stuff that people

847
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: criticize SGA for, even James Hard in the early days,

848
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: you know, for Colley's fouls and thus leading to bigger

849
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: offensive games. So, like, do you find any truth in

850
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: that that the game that the NBA game right now

851
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: sort of favors offense because they think that's what the

852
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: fans want.

853
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 4: To see, No doubt, I don't know if that's what

854
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: they think the fans want to see. They know the

855
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 4: fans want to see that, so they're they're the league

856
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: is always going to, you know, go with what the

857
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 4: fan is is is in like with and I think

858
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 4: it's over emphasized a little too much on offense. But

859
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 4: like I said earlier, which the difference is when you

860
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 4: go to the playoffs and it's called a totally different

861
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 4: game by the refs where you can be a little

862
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 4: more physical, you can hand check a little bit more.

863
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 4: They're not calling every tiki tak fail that they call

864
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 4: in the regular season. So I do agree on what

865
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 4: Adam Silver is saying, But the game is dictated on

866
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 4: defense as well, So when it's winning time, as is

867
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 4: the playoffs, the game is called different. Hopefully, soon at

868
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 4: some point the game will be called similar to the

869
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 4: playoffs because that's real basketball.

870
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: Like obviously the foul baiton is there.

871
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 4: SGA has figured the game out how to manipulate the refs,

872
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 4: and that's a skill. So like even though people get

873
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 4: upset with what SGA does or what James Harden used

874
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: to do, like, those are strengths and skills that players

875
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 4: never find out throughout their career on learning how to

876
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 4: get fouled. So we can't blame those players just bending

877
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: the rules a little bit or manipulating the refs a

878
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: little bit more. We got to be better defenders, if

879
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 4: if you want to be honest. So hopefully, you know,

880
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 4: those two sides connect a little closer in terms of

881
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 4: the regular season being you know, ref like the playoffs do.

882
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 4: And I think you have, you know, a happier fan

883
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 4: base for sure in terms of the whole game.

884
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: That's fascinating because I feel like, you know, with the uh, these.

885
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: Players become inventive.

886
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, people think like a great basketball player like, oh,

887
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: they can score whatever.

888
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 2: But it's finding those that small the small ways to.

889
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: Sort of like almost not cheat the game, but like

890
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 1: find ways to get to the line more or whatever,

891
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: like that's if they change the rules, there's gonna be

892
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: that guy, like an SGA or a James Harden, because

893
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: I remember when people first started to see James Harden go Isa,

894
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: They're like he's slower, he's that Euro and all that

895
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: stuff like So I think it's just that's just evolution

896
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: and the other side of it that I want to

897
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: ask you because I feel like the age old debate

898
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: is always like the nineties, we're tougher defenses. Do you

899
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: feel like that's valid and you think that the league

900
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: changed that rule.

901
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 4: The league just changes over time. Yeah, like that's just

902
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 4: what it is. We don't want nineties basketball. I don't,

903
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 4: so we're gonna put that on there. We don't how

904
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 4: they played in the nineties where you can go through

905
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 4: the go through the hole and get checked like this

906
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 4: right right and not get called for Like that's not safe,

907
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 4: that's not basketball.

908
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

909
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: I do think it.

910
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 4: Should be called a little tougher than it is right now,

911
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 4: Like it's too touchy, Like if you touch somebody more

912
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: than likely, especially if it's a superstar star type of player, they're.

913
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: Gonna call it.

914
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: You're not allowed to you can't stop anybody if you're

915
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 4: not allowed to touch them. So I think there's a

916
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 4: fine line between the two. But it's hard because the

917
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 4: game is changing. It's a lot of threes. Guys are faster, stronger,

918
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 4: jump higher, So the game is just changing with how

919
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 4: the players are changing. But I would like to see

920
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: a fine line between the early two thousands and right now.

921
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: I love the nineties and all those.

922
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 4: Players, but like that wasn't how basketball should be played

923
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 4: in terms of the physicality of not calling fouls, Like

924
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 4: that's just made the strongest man win, and we don't,

925
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 4: you know, that's not who I feel.

926
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, some of the enforcers we don't see like

927
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: a Bill Ambier anymore, you.

928
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 3: Know, because you can't throw.

929
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: So like I know, and I'll be having arguments with

930
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: my homies and stuff all the time about you know,

931
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 4: some people say this generation softer. It's like the generation

932
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 4: is just adapting to how the game is called. If

933
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 4: you want to be serious, like this generation is probably stronger.

934
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 3: Like they're they're they're faster, they jump higher, if they.

935
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 4: Lifted weights like those guys, why wouldn't they be stronger,

936
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 4: Like that's just how life, you know, how how life transpires.

937
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 4: So it's a fine line that we got to get

938
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 4: back to. I think it's too too touchy right now,

939
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 4: but we we got to get back to being somewhat

940
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 4: a little more physical.

941
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: No, our big guys hit threes now, it's crazy.

943
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 4: That's just the elevation of you know, that's just the

944
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 4: way the game is going and the best players adapting

945
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,480
