1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Washington two wins. What do they need to do to 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: translate these numbers in the wins? Find a way to 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: get that hunting meal back they gave Otto porter and 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: get another three guard. What's burning that boy? Steph Curry 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: is burning sixty two points career high last night. Congratulations 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: to him, Um, second oldest player to do it, which 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: is crazy to say because he's only thirty two years old. 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: But our brother Kobe is the only player to do 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: touch sixty at an older age, Um, Jack, There's been 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: a lot of chatter and disrespect to the light skinned 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: kings Steph. Um, did he what do you think about 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: the chatter? And did he quiet the nay sayers last night? Well? 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: The best thing that the best way to shut him 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: up is played like he's played last night. But I 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: want to reinterrate something you said at the beginning of 16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: the season four started. You said that Steph had to 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: do some amazing things this year in order for them 18 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: just to get wins. And that's exactly what he did, 19 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: twenty one points in the first quarter. I knew he 20 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: was off to a big night, but those type of 21 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: games he has to have for this team to even 22 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: be in the hunted things. Yeah. I mean, as we 23 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: tell Stone last week, this is a team searching for 24 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: their identity. You know, gone o the days of of 25 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: of k D and and Clay on the wing, and 26 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: Iggy and Sean and David West and you name it. 27 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: This is a whole new team. So they have to 28 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: find out who they are as a team. We know 29 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: we have it with steph uh, even though people want 30 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: to doubt it. So we have to figure out what 31 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, what they have? Uh? Moving forward? Draymond is 32 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: i think only two games back, but his energy was 33 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: contagious last night. And I think the confidence he allows 34 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: everyone else to play with because they know he has 35 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: their back is huge. Um. This team played with the 36 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: energy from the opening tip last night and they were impressive. 37 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: You know, they're sitting at three and three right now, um, 38 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack, and I'm excited to 39 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: see this team kind of catch a rhythm and and 40 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: really kind of find an identity. You know that ubre 41 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Is is slowly but surely coming back to life, Wiggins 42 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: is finding his footing. I'm really impressive. James Wiseman Uh, 43 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: a young kid that that didn't really get to play 44 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: in college inside out runs, the floor, block shots, rebounds, 45 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: they definitely have possibly although I picked LaMelo Ball. I mean, 46 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: I think James Wiseman is definitely gonna be in the 47 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: running for Rookie the Viyear this year. Week two impressions. 48 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Two teams out the gate with strong starts, Philly under 49 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers at five and one in the East and 50 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns under Monti Williams at five and two 51 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: in the West. Let's start with Philly. Jack. One thing 52 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: I said was Doc is a great motivational speaker. He'll 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: have you believing in yourself, believing in the team. Um, 54 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: I think that's what you're seeing with Joel and Be 55 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: right now and Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons is doing this thing. 56 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Philly at this point. Well, 57 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me is, I know Doctor is 58 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 1: holding these guys accountable. You know, having Bear Brown the 59 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: last couple of years and UM and Philly with Ben Simmons, 60 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: he really didn't hold him accountable. Both of those guys 61 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: from Australia. You kind of let him do what he 62 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 1: wanted to do. I think with Dr Doc Rivers there, 63 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna hold him accountable. Let him know that he 64 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: has to go out there, demand disrespect and play the 65 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: game one way and that's a hundred ten percent. And 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: I think he's he's he's spreading that attitude around the 67 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: whole team and that's why they're getting off to a 68 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: good start. Uh Seth Curry has been a great pick 69 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: up for them, average sixteen point shooting from the field 70 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: and fifty one from the three. Uh more spacing for 71 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: that team. Um, you know, having played for Doc, like 72 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: I said, I know that's what he's gonna do. He's 73 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna still confidence, he's gonna hold these guys accountable. But 74 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: he's just a great motivational type guy, and I think 75 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna need with guys like Ben Simmons, 76 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: who needs a constant reminder of how good he is. 77 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: And Tobias Harris. Tobias Harris had his best years of 78 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: pro under Doc in l A. Now he's back with him, 79 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: and it's no surprise that Tobias is that nineteen points 80 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: a game. So what do you think Doc's been doing 81 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: to get Tobias to play at that all star type level. 82 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: We're just giving him confidence and letting him know he's 83 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: a big part of that team. I had to buyas 84 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: as a rookie in Milwaukee and coming out of Tennessee 85 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: the six nine, being able to the size, he wasn't 86 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: be able to do everything on the court. I knew 87 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: he had a chance to be a star in his league, 88 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: and I think Doc's just giving him the confidence that 89 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: he that he belongs in his league, and he started 90 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: to play like it. You know, absolutely, it looked like 91 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: from the outside looking then obviously that Philly had chose 92 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Tobias over Jimmy Butler and took a lot of criticism 93 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: for that. Jimmy's going on to Miami and done his thing. 94 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: But Tobias is the highest paid player on that team, 95 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: and like we said, we know how talented is. We 96 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: just have to see that night and night out. Shout 97 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: out to h B Man and Beat is definitely doing 98 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: this thing man. You know, the thirteen rebounds, three assists, 99 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: a block and a half. He's showing up every night, 100 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: which is big for that team because when he shows 101 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 1: up and plays hard every night, there's not a person 102 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: in the world and can guard En Pivoting out West. 103 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: Another team off to a hot start, the Phoenix Suns 104 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: at five and two. Uh. Money Williams got these boys 105 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: playing defense, six guys scoring a double figures. Uh CP. 106 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: You know I I picked them as one of the 107 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: teams to watch out coming out of the West. They're 108 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: making me look good, Jack, What are your thoughts on 109 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns. I love everything about the Phoenix Suns. 110 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: One GM. James Jones used to play in the league, 111 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: a good friend of mine, multiple champion. Then you got 112 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: Money Williams, a coach that everybody loves, tough nosed player 113 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: when he played you adding a CP Hall of Fame 114 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: point guard Devin brook top ten player in the league, 115 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: and a young player in DeAndre Ayden. I love everything 116 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: about this This team can go. Only way. The only 117 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: way to put his team to go is up, and 118 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: I like everything about it. Definitely shout out to James 119 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: Jones doing a great job. Robert Sarvers got his dusty 120 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: us out the way and is allowing James to, uh, 121 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, put a constructive team. Uh that's suitable. You know, 122 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: we've all been saying that we felt Devin Booker has 123 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: been wasting his time there, and I could safely say 124 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: now that they're really starting to surround him with pieces 125 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: to Uh, you know, utilize the best of him. I 126 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: still think his scoring average is gonna go up. He's 127 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: had about twenty right now. I see him going up 128 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: to about seven. But with six guys and in double figures. Uh. 129 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: Crowder has been a great pick up for them, A 130 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: veteran leader, a guy who's similar to us. You need 131 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: guys like that on your team. Three and D guys, 132 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: the energy of the team, the face of the the 133 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: nastiness of the team. I love it. Um. I'm happy 134 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: for the Son's fan base. Yeah, I got a chance 135 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 1: to play out their great fan base, great city, although 136 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: there's no fans yet. UM. Happy to see them have 137 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: a winner back. They deserve it. And Monty Williams to 138 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: really being able to find his footing as a head coach. Um. 139 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: Like I said, this team plays with his kind of 140 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: grit and tenacity. On defense. I think their third in 141 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: the league in defensive efficiency. So happy to see cp 142 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: uh move on to another team, but really starting to 143 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: make his impression on that team and showing these guys 144 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: how to win because they got a talented young bunch 145 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: over there up next in our week to impression hardening friends. Uh, 146 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: they got everyone back playing now, and John Wallace came 147 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: out the gates looking explosive. I couldn't be more happy 148 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: for this guy for not being able to place his 149 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. He's come out and put everyone 150 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: on notice. Remember me, he's out here doing this thing. 151 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Do you think that they have enough? 152 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying this is one of 153 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: the most talented rosters James has had in Houston. What 154 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Is his mind made up? Is there 155 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: a way they can keep him in the mix and 156 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: happy and really try to make a run with this squad, 157 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: But they can at least keeping for this year, you know, 158 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: because they have money for two years. You know this year. 159 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: I think you know. The way John wall is coming 160 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: out and the way Bookie is gonna come along, even 161 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: with some of the young players, how they're playing, I 162 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: think it's gonna motivate James to state, uh, John Washs 163 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: energy is contagious. Man. He's coming out with the great stars, Shawn, 164 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: He's healthy, ready to leave this team, and I think 165 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: that's showing James is seeing that he has other guys 166 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: that's finally gonna ride with him. Not saying CP and 167 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: rust and ride with him. But these guys are gonna 168 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: ride with him under control, you know what I mean? 169 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: And and and and and that's that's that's what he 170 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: that's what he hasn't seen. And also with a coach 171 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: like Steven Silas, he's gonna hold everybody accountable and they're 172 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna be on the same page. I like it. I 173 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: just hope James buys all the way in and don't 174 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: have one ft in on the court and one ft 175 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: on the plane. Yeah, like I said, we respect the 176 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: fact if he wants to move on. But I think 177 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: they've done a good job of surrounding them with talent 178 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: and someone you didn't mention, Christian Wood, who's come out 179 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: of nowhere, not necessarily know where. He just got a 180 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: nice deal. But this kid is playing incredibly six ten, 181 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: can do with all shoot it, put her on the floor, 182 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: block shots, rebound, run the floor. Um, he's got too legitimate. 183 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: Maybe three ship four guys if you get Gordon going, 184 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: and then Boogie will probably be could be at about fifteen. 185 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: They got four guys that any given night can drop 186 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: thirty plus for you, maybe five once Boogie gets going. 187 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: So this is a very talented team. I'm happy for 188 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: coach Silas that he's got these guys starting to write 189 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: the ship. We hope that, you know, whatever the situation 190 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: is with James, when he's on the court, that's all 191 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: that matters. Because they got a nice little They got 192 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: a nice little roster over there, and I definitely think 193 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: they can make some noise in the Western Conference. Up next, 194 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies. Uh. We all saw John rant go down 195 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: with the nasty ankle injury. Out three to five weeks. 196 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Jaren Jackson is still sideline. How does this team compete 197 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: in a loaded Western conference with their two young stars out. 198 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard, man. I think the best thing 199 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: about it is they're getting hurt earlier in the season. 200 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: You don't want these enjies to happen towards the end 201 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: of the season when you pushing for the playoffs. Uh, 202 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: these these the two guys is out Mrat and Jackson. 203 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: They need these guys more than anything. It's impossible for 204 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: them to have a great season without these two guys. 205 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: So the guys that's that's still on the bench, that 206 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: guys just coming in and gonna have to step up 207 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: and just try to hold ship tight. Until these guys 208 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: get back, but they don't have a chance without the 209 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: two guys they have down. Yeah, Dylan Brooks and Kyle 210 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: Anderson are both playing well. But I think this is 211 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: also gonna benefit the playing games, you know, not just 212 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: for Memphis, but any team that either loses guys star 213 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: players to injury or you know, having forbid COVID, you 214 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: still have that chance to hop in that seven to 215 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: ten seed and still have a you know, a playing game. 216 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: So I think that's gonna really benefit this team because 217 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, there was a lot of talk about this 218 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: team jumping into the playoffs this year. They definitely can't 219 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: do it without their two young guns down. But the 220 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: playing scenario where you know, seven to ten got a 221 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: battle to get those last two spots, I really love that, 222 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: and I think that's really gonna benefit Memphis this season. 223 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: In the week ahead, we got a playoff rematch between 224 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: Boston and Miami. They'll be playing twice this week. Jalen 225 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: Brown is off to a hot start Avenue game. Uh, 226 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: Jason tatums right at twenty four. Obviously, they need Kimba 227 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: in this rotation, in this lineup to be healthy to 228 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: really make a run. But What are your thoughts on 229 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: Boston right now? Their start and Miami start it hasn't 230 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: been too good. They're on the outside looking in right now, 231 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: although it's still early. Jimmy's battled with some ankle injuries. 232 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on these two teams. I love 233 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: the way Boston has been playing. I think their young 234 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: stars are getting off to a great start. When the 235 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: Kimba comes into the fold, I think we'll see this, 236 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: this whole team come together and see what they could 237 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: really be. Obviously, playing Miami two times in one week, 238 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: both of these teams need these wins, you know, with 239 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: seventy two games now, these are wins. These are games 240 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: that gonna matter coming down the playoff season. So I'm 241 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: excited to see these guys play. I want Miami to 242 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: get back healthy. I think Miami still dealing with a 243 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: little that Finals injury that finded the Finals bang up, 244 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: and they're trying to get healthy. But both teams need 245 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: to go and take these two games serious towards it 246 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: so it can be ready toward the end of the season. Yeah, 247 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I love Tatum and Brown taking charge. Now 248 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: they're not young anymore. You know, these guys have been 249 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: in the league for a handful of years. Um, this 250 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Miami team, Uh, heat team goes as Jimmy goes. Jimmy's 251 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: off to a slow start, bothered by some nagging injuries. 252 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: At eight points a game this season, Uh, they're at 253 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: there's sub five hundred. We know they'll catch their footing. 254 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: But the Eastern Conference isn't a cakewalk no more. And 255 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: you know both the Western and each conference are gonna 256 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: be very difficult this year. So these guys, like you said, 257 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: these games early on count more than normal because there's 258 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: ten fewer games. UM, so excited to see these guys 259 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: score up two times this week. It's uh, you know, 260 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: they always play hard when they play each other. Also 261 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: an exciting matchup this week, Philly versus Brooklyn. UM. Philly 262 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: obviously off to a hot start at five and one. 263 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Brooklyn started off hot, have hit a little bit of 264 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: a stumble, but I love the way Katie is progressing 265 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: at twenty eight points a game this Although it's early, Jack, 266 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: is this is a statement game for either team? Yeah, 267 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: it definitely is for Brooklyn. You know, Kyrie and Katie 268 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: have been talking a lot, and me and you we 269 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: both high on Brooklyn. We know what they're gonna do. 270 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: We know they're gonna back up the talk, and I just, 271 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: you know, I know Katie still getting in game shape. 272 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: He's still coming back off a horrific injury. I just 273 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: want to see how he shows up and how he 274 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: how he comes in and takes over this game game. 275 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: I know Kyrie is ready to go, but I'm really 276 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: ready to see the Katie that we all know come 277 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: out in the big game against the team that they're 278 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: gonna be fighting against coming towards end of the season. Yeah, 279 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of memes and and ship talking last 280 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: night when Katie and Kyrie both missed those game winning shots, 281 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: don't bet on that ship happening. Those motherfucker's make them 282 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: shots every single night, every single day in practice. Next 283 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: time they're going down, so don't bank on that. But uh, 284 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, on the flip side, I'm excited to see 285 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: it's Philly. You know ready, you know they're off to 286 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: a great start, but this is someone that a lot 287 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: of people, including us in Brooklyn, have picked to come 288 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: out of the East. This is a good measuring stick 289 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: for them, uh you know, is and be ready to 290 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: play these big games and dominate like he's been game 291 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: been doing. Is Tobias Harris gonna step up? You know 292 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: what's been gonna do? So I'm excited for this matchup. 293 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Two teams definitely uh you know, towards the upper half 294 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: of the Eastern Conference and both have a great chance 295 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: to make the finals this year. And on Friday, for 296 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: the first time, we got the ball brother matchups. Um, 297 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: have we seen enough of Lamello to really make this 298 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: all brother comparison yet? What are your thoughts, Jack? I mean, 299 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: it's salute to them having two buzzs in the league 300 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: at the same time, but I'm pretty sure the other 301 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: games that will be way more entertaining stupid. The one 302 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: thing I like about Lamelos he plays with a lot 303 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: of confidence. He's out there playing like he's been there 304 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: obviously up and down as most young players are, is 305 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, is a Lonzo ready to step up? I 306 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: think this is his year. We've We've seen Ingram step up. 307 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: We've seen Julius Randall step up in New York, We've 308 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: seen Kuzma uh you know, stepping up somewhat. It's time 309 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: for a Lonzo to step up. Obviously, big brother playing 310 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: little brother is always fun and obviously salute to the 311 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: family for letting that happen. Uh, this is gonna be fun. 312 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: And I'm looking forward to them guarding each other because 313 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna take it back to the backyard where it 314 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: all started for them. If anything, lett Nello get a 315 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: shine on. Melo is gonna be the next star. You know, 316 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Alonso had his opportunity to to to lead the family. 317 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: And you are you writing them off already? Huh, what's 318 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: going on? I'm not writing them off. I just know 319 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: right now this is Alonzo's time. I mean, this is uh, 320 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: this is Mellow's time. Let Melow have his time. Don't 321 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: let his brother coming in and rode up, ride off 322 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: his cotel. This is Mellow's time, This mellow ball time. 323 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: So when we're talking about the game, Mellow balls playing 324 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: not Mellow against Alonzo ship. If I'm older brother, I'm 325 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: saying fun that. But there's also some notable brother combinations. 326 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: There's also some note brother of conversations in the game. 327 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Right now, Steph and Seth, the Holiday threesome, the grand brothers, 328 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: the Lopez twins, the Janis brothers.

Uh can shoot the ball, 383 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: plays hard on both ends. Uh. Fun young player to watch, 384 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: got a good chance of being and still in the draft. 385 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: I hope he stay healthy to get back on the 386 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: court and do his thing. Yeah, he's out for a 387 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,239 Speaker 1: little bit with a wrist injury, but he'll be back soon. Uh. 388 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: Next up. Julius Randall. Um, someone I just knew at 389 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: some point I was gonna shine. This dude is a monster, 390 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: a bull in a China shop. It's averaging twenty one 391 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: points a game, ten rebounds, seven assists. Uh, first Nick 392 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: player to do that through the first five games in 393 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: the history of the franchise. Um. I love the fact 394 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: that he's kind of finally finding his footing. You'd see 395 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: flashes with the Lakers. Uh, you saw flashes in New Orleans. 396 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: He's definitely coming into his own with the Knicks. Man 397 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: child we've we've been waiting on. This is finally his time. 398 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: Absolutely now with the Knicks, you never know. Are they 399 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: showcasing them to trade them? Are they really trying to 400 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: build around him? It'll be interesting to see how the 401 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: Knicks handle Uh, Julius Randall, I think the surprise of 402 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: the season as far as been Christian would free agent 403 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: pick up for Houston. Uh. Twenty four points, almost eleven rebounds, 404 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: two and a half blocks, long, athletic inside out player. Uh. Fun, 405 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: young talent, and this could be another reason for James 406 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: Harden to stay put in Houston. Yeah, everything for this 407 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: for this kid has been a blessing. Of this guy's 408 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: God didn't let him get drafted, but kevinm hungry. He 409 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: just got this big contract and when he didn't did 410 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: get drafted, he had another blessing. This thot girlfriend laughing. 411 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: So I'm happy. I'm a fan. I'm I'm a fan. 412 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm a fan of this kid. Man. I want to 413 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: see him do well and he's really a big reason 414 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: for Houston have some success this year. Absolutely hoping looking 415 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: forward to seeing Boogie get his footing back. Those two 416 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: on the front line along with p J. Tucker. The 417 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: way John Wallace playing Houston has got some talent, man, 418 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: It'll be all uh. All we have to do is 419 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: see if they can keep James happy over there, because 420 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: I said earlier they could definitely do some damage in 421 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: the Western Conference. What's burning a few quick hitters to 422 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: close out the show today, Jack Washington. Two wins, one 423 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: with Russ, one without Russ. Obviously, Rust is off to 424 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: a hot start. Triple double machine. What do they need 425 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: to do to translate these numbers in the winds, Find 426 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: a way to get that hunting meal back. They gave 427 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: outo porter and get another three guard. They wasted a 428 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: hunting meal and out of porter. I'm sorry everything started 429 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: when that happened. They since moved him, but they still 430 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: you still think they need their money back. They need 431 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: their money back and until they can invest it in 432 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: somebody else. Up next, a surprising statum about to give you. 433 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: The Knicks have a better record than the Nets thus far. 434 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: What do you like about the Knicks so far this season? Jack? 435 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: Nothing at all? Uh? They can start off fifteen and 436 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: oh and they're still not gonna make the playoffs as 437 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: long as they have the owner they have. Remember that 438 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: that thing on color purple. Until you do right by meat, 439 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: nothing good is gonna happen to you. He got that 440 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: root on him, Bro, It's a whole stothering. He got 441 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: that root on him. Man, Hey, listen for where they're at. 442 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: Impressive start. You know, guys are playing well. Don't expect 443 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets to be uh, you know in this 444 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: area with them too much longer, they're gonna find their 445 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: footing and take off. But hey, for three and three 446 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: to start the season. Tips got those guys playing hard, 447 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: playing defense, holding people accountable like you like. But I 448 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: agree with you, I don't really see them making too 449 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: much noise this season. Up next, Trey Young and the 450 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: Hawks off to a hot start. Luca and the MAVs 451 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: are not. Jackie think there's too much pressure on Luca 452 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: right now. He's supposed to be the next best thing 453 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: odds on favorite to win the m v P uh, 454 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: and it's been a tough start to the season for him. Yeah, 455 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: a lot of eyes is on them, and they don't 456 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: even have a four roster yet, you know. So. Uh. 457 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: But but to who much is given, much is required. 458 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: You know, he has to go out there and still play. 459 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: We've seen Braun in this situation a lot of times 460 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: where Braun had to play with some smurfs all of 461 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: them were blue, and he still had to take him 462 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: to the finals. So, um, he gotta he gotta deal 463 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: with it, you know what I mean. But on the 464 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: flip side of it, Trey is doing everything he's supposed 465 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: to be doing. He he has other weapons now, a 466 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: more confident team, a more veteran team. I like everything 467 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: he's doing. I really like the Atlanta Hawks, you know, 468 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: to me, them and the Phoenix Suns, we're gonna be 469 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: the breakout teams of the season. Uh. John Collins is 470 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: playing out of his mind out there. They got everyone 471 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: on the same page. Rondo's in that locker Roo, I'm 472 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: sure dropping these guys game every time. Trey Young's on 473 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: another level right now. This is a fun team to watch. 474 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: As you said, Luca still doesn't have uh the unicorn 475 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: back yet. UM looking forward to him getting healthy because 476 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: when they're both healthy, they're one of the best combinations 477 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: in the game. But uh, it's gonna be interesting to 478 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: watch Luca. Like I said, all the pressures on him, 479 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: He's kind of not necessarily flowing under the radar, but 480 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: as far as expectations, has flown under the radar up 481 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: to this point. But now they're expecting him to be 482 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: a top three, top four team in the league every 483 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: season and on odds on favor to win the m 484 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: v P. So we know with that comes a lot 485 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: of pressure. I saw Blake Griffin kinda get to a 486 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: certain level of superstardom when he was in the m 487 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: v P conversation that we they expected the Clippers to 488 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: to win Campion Chips as well. So you know, we're 489 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: gonna see how Luca handles this pressure.
