Speaker 2: are comming though this one, number forty five a little

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: controversial again.

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: Here we're gonna show it to you.

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: It's a quick one. Don't blink, oh, Terrence Davis oh

39
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: fouled and then it definitely wedges.

40
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: Went out.

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: So you know, some people were like, what are you

42
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: counting this? They call a little weggie basically on the broadcast.

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: So far it's up on wedgie tracker dot com. So

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: it's official right now. Does anybody really want to like

45
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: challenge this one? You know, throw the flag here at

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: least shaking his head. He's good with it.

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 5: Good hard for Weggie. There the guy went up, Terrence

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 5: Diavis went up. He wanted to make it play that

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 5: wedge did it doesn't matter, hall On, it wedges in.

50
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 5: If you get half a second, that's a wedgie. That's

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 5: a good percentage wedgie.

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: I like it, count.

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: It tasks okay with it.

54
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: I will say this has never happened since we've started

55
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 4: tracking wedgies where we've had a wedgie that was sort

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: of part of the play, but it kind of happened

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: after the whistle and then it slipped out. Usually the

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: ones that we count that are after the whistle, which

59
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: are let's say, a guy driving he gets hit, throws

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: it up, it's a foul, but it wedges and it

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: sticks in. This one slipped out and it wasn't an

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: actual wedgie that created a Also, it's unprescedent. We haven't

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: seen one like this now. I mean it's a weggie

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: and it really really was definitely solidified by the broadcaster

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 4: calling it a wedgie. Yeah, so it's kind of hard

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 4: to get away from it.

67
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: Right, Trey, any thoughts on this one.

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 6: If the whistle is blown, the wedgie is shown, and

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 6: what I'm willing to count anything this year, it's a

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 6: special year. Special year for weggies. So let's count all

71
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 6: the controversial ones.

72
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, So that was number forty five, and then

73
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 2: we followed it up on Sunday with number forty six.

74
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: And this is the Celtics broadcast, and I want you

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: to listen closely to Brian Scalabrini on the call and

76
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: his comments about this one Rollo.

77
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 7: Gid strong, move to the hoop gets wedged in there

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 7: and there's be a chump off.

79
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 8: My son loves watching YouTube and for whatever reason, I'm

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 8: always coming in the living room and plays like that

81
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 8: happen in the NBA all the time. This will be

82
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 8: on that drive and stuck if I've ever seen that

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 8: before in transition.

84
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Wow. So okay, that's number forty six. Fantastic. But guys,

85
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm not making this up right. Scalabrini was basically saying

86
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: his son either watches the starters or still watches No Dunks,

87
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: or maybe hopefully a combo of both, right, I mean,

88
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: that's what he's alluding to here our show where he

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: walks in on his son watching wedgies one, which sounds

90
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: sort of like possibly but it could be worse.

91
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly unless there's a bootleg show. We

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 5: don't know about it. They're also tracking wedgies. I mean,

93
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: I guess it's possible, but uh, you know this made scout.

94
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 5: You got to come on the show, man, You gotta

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: come on totally. I mean, your son watches the show.

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 5: You want to be a star, and your son's us

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 5: come on the show. Open invitation.

98
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: Okay, excellent. So that's forty six, guys we're up to.

99
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: This is amazing.

100
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: Let's show you Wedgie tracker dot com.

101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: There it is.

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: We are on pace for fifty six. That does include,

103
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: you know, potential playoff games because we do count wedges

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But this is crazy. Goal is really

105
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: to hit fifty. That's a celebration. But we're setting the

106
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: all time wedgie records. So another great weekend, man. I

107
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: can't think of many weekends that we've had in the

108
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: NBA this year where we didn't show up on Monday

109
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: and at least have one or two to show you guys.

110
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: You know, Scalabrini's Sun is loving it every Monday. He's

111
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: checking out these weddings here.

112
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 5: So stream TAM's ousting is Scalabriny's Sun in the stream

113
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: tape show.

114
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 3: You Wow, trying to crack the case?

115
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 4: Is it you?

116
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 6: Four morning foods?

117
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: Wow?

118
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: I hadn't even thought about that.

119
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: No, he really dream shake okay. Excalabraty went on to say,

120
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: these wedgies happen all the time, and I think that's

121
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: just a little moment in time, that's a little capsule

122
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: just shows us that we're changing the world. Because broadcasters

123
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: would always say, they would always say, including on the

124
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: Celtics broadcast, I think I've heard Scalabrini's partner Mike Mike

125
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 4: Gorman say these things don't happen all the time. I mean,

126
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: this is the change that's happening because we're on getting

127
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 4: them on YouTube, the kids are seeing them. Calabriny son,

128
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how old you show up? Show up,

129
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: Scalabrini Sonios pipe up, where are you? Speak up? Tell

130
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: us who you are freaking champion? Own it right now, man,

131
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: you're the one making it popular with your dad and

132
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: now on the broadcast.

133
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: In turn, yeah, I should say too. That was obviously

134
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: the Blazer Celtics scheme. So Lamar heard the wedgie whisperer

135
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: was on the call for Portland and people were saying

136
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: Lamar was once again giving a shout out to Weggie

137
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: Tracker dot com.

138
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: So that's our guy shout out to Lamar.

139
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: That was the quickest one I could find though the

140
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: Celtics one when I posted that last night. But yeah,

141
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: he's the true Weggie whisper. This is the reason this

142
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: is all happening. Lamar is talking it into existence. It

143
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: gotta love it. Anyway, Let's get to some NBA weekend winners,

144
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: then we'll get to the loser's test. You're gonna get

145
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 2: started here today. Who's your big NBA weekend winner?

146
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: Well, the NBA is a winner for me because there

147
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 4: are there. I am, yes, I'm here. The NBA is

148
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 4: a winner this weekend because Lebron James was upset about

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: potentially playing in the play in Tournament, But in turn

150
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: he just made it more popular. Now everybody's talking about it.

151
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 4: So this is what Lebron said after he lost to

152
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 4: the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night on the play in Tournament.

153
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: He said, quote, whoever came up with that shit needs

154
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: to be fired. Wow, it ain't going anywhere. Lebron knows it,

155
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: everybody knows it. Just think about the play in tournament

156
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: that we're getting in two weeks. Steph Curry's going to

157
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: be in it, John Morant's going to be in it,

158
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: LaMelo's going to be in it, and then one of Lebron,

159
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 4: Dame or Luca's going to be in it, depending on

160
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: how the Blazers, Lakers, Mavericks little trio there falls into

161
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: the standings, and it's it's going to be tough sledding

162
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: for the Lakers because they've got a tough schedule. And yeah,

163
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: I guess Lebron's upset because may have to play one

164
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: or two extra games, but I think he can thank

165
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 4: Adam Silver and the person who came up with this.

166
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: Don't fire either of those guys. I think for him,

167
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 4: he should be happy because the Lakers are struggling and

168
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: they have lost two in a row with Lebron back,

169
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: and they're one in five since Anthony Davis came back.

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: I think the extra one or two games only helps them.

171
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: I know it sounds like sounds kind of dumb, it

172
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: sounds like nothing, but when they go play whoever it is,

173
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: in the first actual round of the playoffs, they need

174
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 4: to be playing well. I don't think you can give

175
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: up a game like Lebron tense they do at the

176
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: beginning of a series and then not be playing well

177
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: in general. You can give up one game if you're

178
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: Lebron James, but you just can't be playing poorly in general.

179
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: So I don't think it's a problem for him to

180
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: get a game or an extra one here with, you know,

181
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: a couple of games before the before the playoffs, especially

182
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: because the way they've been playing, they need to be

183
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: playing better. And I think it only solidifies the future

184
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: of this play in tournament. I know it devalues the

185
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: regular season and you look at it and it's like

186
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: twenty teams need to make this thing out of the

187
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: thirty teams. When you kind of step back, but if

188
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 4: there is a trade off between losing a few regular

189
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 4: season games like we're getting this year because of COVID nineteen,

190
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: you know, down to seventy two, hopefully there is some

191
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: balance there where we do lose a few games and

192
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 4: we don't have to get to eighty two. Because I

193
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 4: can understand people being pissed off. It seems like people

194
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: are only pissed off like Lebron when they're in danger

195
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: of playing the play in tournament. Yeah, but you know,

196
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 4: he's gonna enjoy it. He's gonna love it when he

197
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: sits back and watches those games because we know he's

198
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: a he's a die hard NBA league pass man. But

199
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: those those games make money for the league. And yeah,

200
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: the easy solution is just finished top six and they're

201
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: just going to have to turn it on quicker Lebron

202
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: is playing. He loves the feel in games and he

203
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: just can't do that. He can't do that during the

204
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: regular season now, but these last games Nuggets, Clippers, Blazers, Suns,

205
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 4: and Knicks are the next five for the Lakers, and

206
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 4: they've got two back to backs amongst their eight last games.

207
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: They just have to pick it up. I think it's

208
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 4: I think it's great. Actually, you know, I kind of

209
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 4: go back and forth on this play in Tournament, but

210
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: when it comes down to it, it's going to be

211
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: entertaining basketball and the best team should win out. And

212
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: that's that, Trey, What do you think?

213
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we're on record here as basically a collective

214
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: as no Dunks love in the play in Tournament because

215
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: we make an NBA show daily. We're talking about all

216
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: these teams at the bottom of these races and jocking

217
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: for position, trying to get But yeah, is it funny

218
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: timing here from Lebron now that they're in jeopardy of

219
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: falling into the play in tournament, just like the Mavericks

220
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: not too long ago, Luca and Cuban saying similar things.

221
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 3: What do you think.

222
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 6: Everybody loves the play in tournament until they're in the

223
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 6: play in tournament? Yep, that's just how it goes. We

224
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 6: got to ask players at the beginning of the season,

225
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 6: get it down in writing exactly what you think of

226
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 6: the play in tournament because there's a chance you might

227
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 6: be in it later. I will say I give the

228
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 6: Lakers complaints a little bit more weight here, since they've

229
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 6: had so many injuries and they went the deepest in

230
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 6: the playoffs last year, had the quick turnaround obviously seventy

231
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 6: one days. I think it was from the end of

232
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 6: last season to the start of this season, they were

233
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 6: gonna be kind of behind the eight ball for the

234
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 6: most part. But I mean, between actually following these races,

235
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 6: you know, it feels like at this point, perhaps the

236
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 6: race for the tenth seed in both conferences is probably over.

237
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 6: Now we're talking about the six and seven seeds and

238
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 6: the drama that comes from the players that don't want

239
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 6: to play in it. It's a content factory, and we

240
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 6: haven't even gotten to the play tournament, so this thing

241
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 6: is sticking around. But when Lebron talks, his words carry

242
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: a lot of weight. So whoever came up with that

243
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 6: might be getting fired today.

244
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: You know what.

245
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: It reminds me of a little bit, uh Trey.

246
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: It's like watching an F one race where a lot

247
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 2: of the time you're not even that focused on who's

248
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: winning the race because for whatever reason, you know, Mercedes

249
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: kicking ass, Hamilton went in again whatever. It's like they're

250
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: trying to sell you. And it's interesting races like within

251
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: like oh the seventh and eighth spot, oh ten to

252
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: get into the points and stuff like that. This is

253
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: sort of what this is for me now that I

254
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: think about it, and I love both of them like

255
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: they somehow let me have me like convinced when I'm

256
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: watching an F one race, like, ooh damn, that fourth

257
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: fis position there. That's important, you know, those are points

258
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: to be had.

259
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 6: Skeets I was going crazy yesterday when Mick Schumacher passed

260
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 6: Nicholas Latifi to move from eighteenth to the seventeenth, go

261
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: for it, make you got him? Wow, This is exactly

262
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 6: the same we're talking. Especially at the Eastern Conference. We

263
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 6: have been hardcore following a bunch of teams that are

264
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 6: eight to ten games under five hundred, and it's been thrilling,

265
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: just like mix Schumacher making that move. There's things to

266
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 6: watch right now where generally, you know, teams would be

267
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 6: shutting things down completely here or you know, locking it

268
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 6: down saying we're just gonna be happy with whatever seed

269
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 6: we got. At this point, Lebron's just thinking, I don't

270
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 6: want to have to play in a series where I

271
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 6: can't take a feel out game. You can't take a

272
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 6: feel out game in the play in tournament. You gotta

273
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 6: win that first one.

274
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you can lose the first one and

275
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 4: then win the second one.

276
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 6: Then you're in fairpoint risky.

277
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: It's risky. And let's say they win the title after

278
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 4: making the play in tournament, then you can't get rid

279
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: of it. It's there forever right, like a team actually

280
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 4: made the play in tournament and then won the championship,

281
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: which the Lakers could do. I mean that only that

282
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: only just strengthens the league's position, right, doesn't think so.

283
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's Lebron versus Steph in the play in tournament.

284
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 6: They're like, sorry, this is going to stay around for

285
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: the entirety of the NBA history from now on. If

286
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 6: you get two of the most marketable stars the second

287
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 6: time you ever do it.

288
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, late Lee, what do you think?

289
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 2: I mean again, you're on record saying you're you're loving

290
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: this just because we got to sort of have all

291
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: this content to talk about.

292
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: But you know, people are like going crazy on Lebron

293
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: here today.

294
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: A lot of people are like, come on, you basically

295
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: said you liked it last year the play in turn

296
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: a bit when you weren't in it.

297
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I'm not even making that up. I'm not

298
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: even stretching his words.

299
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 9: There.

300
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: You were in favor of it because you were not

301
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: in it, And now I know it's like the whole

302
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: bubble situation.

303
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a different circumstance.

304
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, it.

305
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: Should Lebron, like Luca rightfully, be getting sort of ripped

306
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: here by some fans and some.

307
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: Of the media.

308
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 5: I think so. I think so because Lebron would be

309
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 5: automatically favorite to come out of that play tornment.

310
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 8: He was in.

311
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 5: There's no question if they're healthy, If him and Anthony

312
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 5: Daves are there, no one would honestly think that the

313
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 5: Laker is going to lose that because it's Lebron. He

314
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 5: carries that aura with him, and you know him saying

315
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 5: the person who come up with it should get fired.

316
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: I mean, isn't this basically Adam Silver's whole sort of thing,

317
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 5: like he wants to try to create these extra little

318
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 5: games and incentives for teams to stay in it, kind

319
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 5: of like a soccer model. So he's really having a

320
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 5: shot at Adam Silver and saying getting fired. It's like

321
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 5: that's just far too stream Lebron. I think is obviously

322
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 5: just Pierce that the Lakers have dropped a couple of

323
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 5: games here since he's come back. They haven't been able

324
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 5: to win. They've blown leeds as well again, so you know,

325
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: and he said he may not ever be healthy again

326
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: as well, after sitting out so long. I think that

327
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 5: was the longest time he's ever missed for an injury.

328
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 5: But ultimately this, you know, the NBA needs to try

329
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: to experiment with these things, and so far, through one

330
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,239
Speaker 5: example last season in the bubble, it has worked. Tremendously

331
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: and this season, what we're seeing is it's not just okay.

332
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 5: When the playing tournament happens, people start talking about as

333
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: you guys are saying there. We've been kind of talking

334
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 5: about it now for the last month or so. It's

335
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: been exciting. Some teams look like they're going to avoid it.

336
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 5: Others look like, oh, they could maybe sneak in and

337
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: grab even home court if you get in there for

338
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: that that one game playoff. So this is actually fantastic

339
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 5: for the league because it is creating interest that down

340
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 5: in the lower levels of the playoff races, and I

341
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 5: think that's very, very important. And Lebron his voice does

342
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 5: carry a lot of weight in the NBA, but in

343
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: this case, I think the NBA would just be sitting back.

344
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 5: This is perfect. Lebron's bringing even more focus to this.

345
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: He's given him the NBA Winner of the Weekend for.

346
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 5: A lot of bits happened. I'm surprised Lebron isn't just

347
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: sort of taking a different approach, like, Yeah, I don't

348
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 5: care who we play, where we play, I'm Lebron. I'm

349
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 5: gonna win that playing tournament anyway. That's something Michael never

350
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 5: did you know he can, he can add that to

351
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: his legacy there, So it sounds more like Lebron's just

352
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: kind of like, Wow, I thought we wouldn't have lost

353
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 5: to the Kings, you know, and then then the Raptors

354
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 5: went in there and also spanked them last night. So

355
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 5: it's more I think Lebron's just a little frustrated at

356
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 5: the time he went out, the team really did fall back,

357
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: and he's in a position where he has to think

358
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 5: about the race. I think he was hoping maybe they were,

359
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 5: you know, three or four games clear, and maybe they

360
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: wouldn't have home court advantage, but they wouldn't be in

361
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 5: this position. But ultimately, you know, Lebron, he's great, he's

362
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: a legend. He does so many fantastic things, but this

363
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: time he's on the wrong side of the equation, so

364
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: he deserves to be criticized for it.

365
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: All Right, Well, I'll keep it going.

366
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: Here for a winner of the Weekend, I guess it's

367
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: along the same lines in a strange but I think

368
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: No Dunks is a winner of the weekend because we

369
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: are here with a daily show to help try and

370
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: keep track of everything that's gonna happen here over the

371
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: final two weeks.

372
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: And what I mean by that.

373
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: Is like over the last like forty eight hours in

374
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: the Western Conference alone, every seed changed except the eighth seed.

375
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: That's how much action.

376
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: Is going on here and teams going up and slipping

377
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: and in the plane and then now and they're not

378
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But specifically, over the weekend we

379
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: had the Suns and the Sixers taking over the number

380
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: one seed in their respective conferences there in the West

381
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: and the East. The Suns two more wins this weekend,

382
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: you know, big one on Friday night playing the shorthanded Jazz,

383
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: no doubt, but took care of business one twenty one,

384
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: one hundred. Booker was awesome thirteen to nineteen from the field,

385
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: step back jumper after step back jumper, there had Rudy

386
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: Gobert dance and there that was one of the highlights

387
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: of the year in terms of just straight up handles

388
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: and getting a guy that might win Defensive Player of

389
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: the Year stumbling and bumbling and doing ola over there

390
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: as he hit the step back upper in front of

391
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 2: his bench. But yeah, Son's just looking still phenomenal. I

392
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: really hadn't thought about it, but they've been so healthy

393
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: this year with their main guys, you know, eight and

394
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 2: in Bridges have played all sixty three games. CP three

395
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: has played sixty two. He's only missed one game. Chris,

396
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: Paul and Booker's been available for fifty nine now. They've

397
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: had guys in their second unit miss games here and there,

398
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: but you know their core, they're playing a lot and

399
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: that's helped them get right now the best record in

400
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: the Western Conference.

401
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: The Sixers.

402
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: They beat the Hawks on Friday night and then outlasted

403
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: the shorthanded Spurs on Sunday. Ben Simmons Ley or mate

404
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: there tipping in the game winner off the embiid miss

405
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: right spot right time.

406
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: It reminded me, didn't Simmons have a game tying.

407
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: Put back off like a missed free throw against the

408
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: Heat a couple of years ago?

409
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: You guys remember that.

410
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like someone at the line and he

411
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: came like he came screaming in from the three point

412
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: line and tipping in. I think it went to all overtime,

413
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: but anyway, it was, uh, you know, Ben Simmons. You

414
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 2: don't usually get to say Ben Simmons like a game

415
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: winning shot after him. In fact, maybe that's the first

416
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: time there because you're not going to them at the

417
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: end of the game to hit the step back jumper

418
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 2: over somebody, but got.

419
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: The tip in Lely.

420
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 5: Yeah. Great, he didn't have a great game, but yeah,

421
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 5: you're right, they're not going to go to him to

422
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 5: shoot the ball. But Joel Embiid was there, rimmed out

423
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 5: and Simo using his height and his athleticism to be there,

424
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 5: and classic, that's a game winner. That's all accounts and

425
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: classic for the Spurs, you know, shorthanded as well, rested

426
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: after they got embarrassed on Friday night giving up that lead.

427
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 5: They're in a tight race. Still not a good weekend

428
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 5: for them. But I'm so a little surprised they decided

429
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 5: to rest guys in that situation. But we know that teams.

430
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: You know, if the sports scientists say you've got to

431
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: rest these guys, now that's what they do. But a

432
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 5: little unusual, but still battle to the end there. I mean,

433
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 5: they had this game, could have won this game. But

434
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 5: Sixers get it done in the end.

435
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sixers looking pretty here too for that number one

436
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: sere because only one of their final eight games is

437
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: against a top team really in either conference. They play

438
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: the heat and then otherwise they play a lot of

439
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 2: the teams that are actually outside of that of the

440
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: playoffs right now, so they could in theory, you know,

441
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: really really grab hold of this number one seed, and

442
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: that I think is super important in the Eastern Conference,

443
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: as we've talked about a million times, Like especially after

444
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: what we just saw a nice game between the Bucks

445
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: and the Nets there going ahead to head like looking

446
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: like a playoff game was so entertaining. It's like, yeah,

447
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 2: let let let two of those teams do that in

448
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: the in the second round and hopefully meet up with

449
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: the winner in the conference finals. So the Sixers are

450
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: in the driver's seat, no doubt. Then, just other couple

451
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: races to point out here, we had the heat climb

452
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: out of the play in spot right now. So that's big.

453
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: You know, they got two road wins this weekend versus

454
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: the Calves, versus the Hornets. Druggige, he said, Sunday night's

455
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: game felt like a playoff game. They're playing Charlotte there,

456
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: Miami played really well, thirty assists, forty five made baskets.

457
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 3: They did work in the paid on Charlotte. So that's big.

458
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: So they're up to sixth and the Celtics are now

459
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 2: down to seventh, and then we have the Nuggets also

460
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: climb up to the third seed. They beat the Clippers

461
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. Good Win one ten, one oh four.

462
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: You'll catch thirty points, fourteen boards, porter twenty five.

463
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: Again, this guy is.

464
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Like suddenly legit star on this Denver team and they've

465
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: won five straight. They're nine and one Instrumal Murray went

466
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: down with that torn acl So yeah, a lot of movement,

467
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: and I'll just show you this right now, guys, like

468
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: this is the playoff picture as of Monday morning here,

469
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: and this breaks it all down. You got the teams

470
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: in the playing tournaments there and where.

471
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: They would go.

472
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: But again, a lot of movement in the West, some

473
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: in the East. And you know you're gonna look at

474
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: this here today and by tomorrow or by Wednesday or whatever,

475
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 2: it's gonna be completely different. And this is very, very exciting.

476
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: So we're the big winners, guys, Tess, you must love.

477
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 4: That, right, I love it. I love it. I love

478
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 4: seeing these brackets. Baby. Yeah. I just keep looking at

479
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 4: that Western Conference, like, you know, the Lakers, if they

480
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 4: fall down, they'll be sort of in a one in

481
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 4: one Like it's a college free throw guy going to

482
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: the free throw stripe, you miss your first one. Actually,

483
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 4: it's the opposite of a one on one. I take

484
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 4: it back. If the Lakers, if the Lakers are in

485
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: the seven eight game, I thought I had a great

486
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: analogy there for you that did not work. But if

487
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 4: the Lakers are in the seventh eight seed and they

488
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 4: actually they missed their first one, they get a second shot,

489
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 4: and then they could be the eight seed if they

490
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 4: actually go to the that second game, and then they

491
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: would play Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns. It sure

492
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: looks like the Suns. As you said, Ski's passing the

493
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: jazz there. You gotta be ready if you're the Lakers

494
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: to play Chris Paul in the Suns because they're just

495
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: playing so so well. So I like it for the

496
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 4: fact that the Lakers are going to have to pick

497
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: it up here. It's like, you know, everything is becoming

498
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: a little bit more engaging. It amps everything up just

499
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: to touch, you know, the dials just just up a

500
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: little bit more for these last couple of weeks. You know,

501
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: I thought it would just be the play internment that

502
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: we'd get excited. Okay, one or two games. This is baseball, baby,

503
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 4: you know. These the single elimination games that they added

504
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: in baseball. But at these last couple of weeks too,

505
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 4: we're showing that bracket every single day, so it gets

506
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 4: a little exciting. And thanks to John Schuman for fixing

507
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: that bracket. You're not getting fire Josh Shuman at NBA

508
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 4: dot com because you're making things happen.

509
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: Oh that was a nice update there they had.

510
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had like the in theory who you'd be

511
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: playing there in the actual playoffs, sort of in the

512
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 2: wrong order, and Schumann.

513
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 3: Was all over it.

514
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: He either did it himself because he's great with that

515
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: type of code, or he sent a good email and

516
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: got it to it. But Trey, hey, look we had

517
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: it was spike ball season. Here this weekend, we're all

518
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 2: double vaxed to the max. Beautiful weather. We fired up

519
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: spike ball. But one of the topics that came up

520
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 2: with my buddy Grish is would you take the Lakers

521
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 2: to defend the title or would you take the field

522
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: And really you can only ask that because he's like,

523
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: are you going to bet against Lebron James? I mean

524
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 2: people have done it before and looked a fool for it.

525
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: But what was your answer? I can't remember. Would you

526
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: take the Lakers still or would.

527
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 3: You take the field to win the title this year?

528
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 6: Well, just like it was Spike ball season, I was

529
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 6: ready to take the field skeets to be out there,

530
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 6: and I would still stick with the field right now,

531
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 6: just because the Lakers feel like, despite the fact that

532
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 6: they have Lebron and eighty back, kind of neither of

533
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 6: them are playing that well, and Lebron is saying he's

534
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 6: still gonna be hurt for maybe the remainder of the season, which,

535
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 6: you know, if it's anybody else, maybe you're a lot

536
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 6: worried about that. But Lebron, the guy up until now,

537
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 6: has been if you sprain an ankle, just tie it

538
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 6: tighter and you're good to go. But I feel like

539
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 6: other teams have been playing so well this season that

540
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 6: it's hard to call the Lakers the favorites when we

541
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 6: haven't seen them be at full strength, playing at their

542
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 6: best for about two months. Because I mean, they were

543
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 6: what twenty one and six something like that when Ady

544
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 6: finally went out, Clearly they were the best team in

545
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 6: the league at that point. But I think that over

546
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 6: the course of these two months where they've been dealing

547
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 6: with injuries. Other teams have showed up and said we

548
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 6: are at least as good as the Lakers were at

549
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 6: their peak. We'll see how that all plays out in

550
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 6: the playoffs, when there's a lot more pressure on people

551
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 6: and where Lebron is actually going to be playing and

552
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 6: he's probably not all that hurt. But it doesn't feel

553
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 6: like there's a favorite right now. You could pick eight

554
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 6: different teams that have just as good a chances winning.

555
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 6: You show that playoff picture and you're like, Wow, the

556
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 6: Nuggets have been great so far this season. Once Jamal

557
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: Murray went down, I think they's still a title contender

558
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 6: unless they draw the Lakers in the first round. That's

559
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: a tough one, but I think all things consider, you

560
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 6: gotta go with the field, just because we haven't seen

561
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 6: the Lakers at their best right now, and when they've

562
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 6: looked bad recently, they've looked pretty bad, like really bad,

563
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 6: not on the same page, super rusty from their stars

564
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 6: and trying to figure things out with their rotation that

565
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 6: you would hope has already figured out when the play

566
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 6: in tournament's starting in two weeks.

567
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: Ley, let's go to you for your big NBA winner

568
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: of the weekend.

569
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 5: Well, last Monday, I had the Blazes as a loser

570
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 5: because they've just dropped a pair of home games to

571
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies. They've dropped seven of eight, five in a row.

572
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 5: Lillard was looking fatigued and he looked injured, and they

573
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 5: were about to go on a big, long road trip.

574
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 5: Well four and zero on that road trip so far,

575
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 5: and two big wings over the weekend. Friday night, Lilard

576
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: eight three thirty two points, nine assists, and they ended

577
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: up pretty much blowing out the nets in the end.

578
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: No Kevin Durant or James Harden who's still out, but

579
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving was. There's still a very impressive performance from Portland.

580
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 5: They need every win they can right now. And then

581
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 5: last night, Lillard was good again, but c J. McCollum

582
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 5: thirty three points led the way a huge victory over

583
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 5: the Boston Celtics, again on the road. This one also

584
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 5: ended up being a double digit win, but it was

585
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 5: only a two point game with just over a minute

586
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 5: to go in this one, So you know, the Blazers

587
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: pulling it out in that sort of playoff atmosphere type

588
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 5: vibe where you know, how are you going to end

589
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 5: the game, and they do that so again. After dropping

590
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 5: seven of eight, they've won four in a row and

591
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 5: are averaging scoring exactly one hundred and thirty points. Their

592
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 5: offense really is humming right now, getting contributions from everyone.

593
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 5: I thought Nurkic was very good again last night. Didn't

594
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 5: have a huge offensive game, but I just think he's

595
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 5: playing that role very well. And they've pulled themselves into

596
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 5: a tie now with the Mavericks and Lakers for fifth,

597
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 5: but they sit seventh a little bit weird because they

598
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 5: have the tiebreaker over the Mavericks two. They won that

599
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: series two one, and they're split with the Lakers at

600
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 5: one to one. They do have that deciding game with

601
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 5: the Lakers in three or four days time here. That

602
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 5: game is going to be huge. If they do hold

603
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 5: the tiebreaker over both the Lakers and the MAVs for

604
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: that fifth spot or sixth spot in the Western Conference,

605
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 5: that's going to be massive. But mainly Damon Lild, like

606
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 5: I said, I thought the workload was starting to catch

607
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 5: up to him a little bit this season. He just

608
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 5: you know, he had a bit of a hamstring injury

609
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 5: and instead he's come out and you know, they absolutely

610
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 5: destroyed the Paces this week. Then they got revenge against

611
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies by also blowing them out on the road,

612
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 5: and then again a huge win on Friday night against

613
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: the Nets, and then last night also just closed it.

614
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 5: So they're in actually Atlanta today. I think it is

615
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 5: for a game. They've really turned it around in one week.

616
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: They've turned it around so good. Terry Studts is great

617
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 5: coach of the year. But you know just how quickly

618
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 5: things can change, because you can look at a team

619
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 5: and like we're kind of looking at the Lakers right now,

620
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 5: it's like, Wow, they just are playing badly, but it

621
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 5: can only take maybe one or two wins and people

622
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 5: start feeling good and they get that momentum going and

623
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: they start playing better. So it could quickly change. And

624
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 5: I'm very surprised to see the Blaze is looking so

625
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: fresh and healthy. I just thought I was looking a

626
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 5: little bit heavy legged and a bit sluggish. But instead

627
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: they're playing some really good possible Certainly this week they

628
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: have been well.

629
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: They had all those demoralizing losses too, though right.

630
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 3: They weren't getting really blown out.

631
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: They were losing by one point every time, like one

632
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: shot here or there, and they kept coming up with

633
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: the l but yeah, they stormed back. I saw ghost

634
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: Vace Ziller in his newsletter like breaking down the tiebreakers league.

635
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: It's wild, man, because, like you said, the five six seven, here,

636
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 2: Dallas owns the tiebreaker over the Lakers. Portland owns the

637
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: tiebreak over Dallas, and then the Blazers Lakers tiebreaker, like

638
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: you said, will be decided on Friday in a head

639
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: to head battle. But there's this crazy wrinkle to this

640
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: one that if the season ends with a three way

641
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 2: tie between these three teams, the Blazers head to head

642
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 2: tiebreaker against Dallas doesn't matter because the Mavericks will have

643
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 2: won their division, the Southwest Division. So that's that weird,

644
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: weird thing here. Yeah I didn't, but that's only in

645
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: the way of of a three way tie between these

646
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: three teams, which is very possible. So yeah, it gets insane.

647
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Ziller went like he went deep on all

648
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: of these like who's got it if this happens, and

649
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: if this happens, who's got it? But yeah, you can

650
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 2: go blind looking at that thing that we did great

651
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: work there. So yeah, Blazers thought were dead there, Trey,

652
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: and here they are right back in it. I mean,

653
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: something with Dame Lillard man like, he just flourishes when

654
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: he's written off. That's exactly right when you're ready to

655
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: count them out. Oh okay, that's good. This is what

656
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 2: I shine Now.

657
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 6: That's exactly right, cause you wouldn't expect them really to

658
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: get either of the wins they got over the weekend,

659
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 6: especially considering that they've been playing pretty poorly going into

660
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 6: this uh road trip, and suddenly they're solidifying a play

661
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 6: in spot and winning four straight and looking great. And

662
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 6: now they got a couple more winnable ones here the

663
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 6: Hawks and the Caves, like that'd be pretty simple to

664
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 6: get a couple of more wins. There go six and

665
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 6: on on a road trip when everybody was thinking that

666
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 6: it's time to blow the team up. Well done to

667
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 6: the Blazers, But you're exactly right. As soon as you

668
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 6: think they're done, that's when they are at their best.

669
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 6: Everybody goes out with injuries, and then it's suddenly Dame time.

670
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 6: He's sitting every shot. They're winning these games by one,

671
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 6: everybody's healthy, they're losing them one. Oh no no. So,

672
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 6: like I said, I'm gonna flip flop on this every

673
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 6: single time. Between the Mavericks and the Blazers. How can

674
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 6: you not? How can you not? Certainly the Blazers won

675
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 6: the weekend between those two teams.

676
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: Lee. I know some Beantown boys and girls were upset

677
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: with the some of the calls made there in that

678
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: that game on Sunday.

679
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: Do they have a rate to be upset?

680
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 4: No?

681
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 5: Because it was I think it was Pritchard, Yeah, the

682
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 5: charge one. Yeah, it was in the paint and they

683
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 5: got away with one there, but the Blazers couldn't challenge.

684
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 5: And now what was the other one there? Because this

685
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: game Tristan times that's right, that Tristan Thompson dunk that

686
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 5: got called offensive interferience. Say yes, in that instance, that

687
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 5: was a terrible call. Now, this is one question I

688
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 5: had about that because you know sometimes a guy will

689
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 5: say you hit a three pointer and then in the

690
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 5: next time out of TV break they go and check

691
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 5: and they can change it. Why can't they do it

692
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: with something like that. I don't understand how that one

693
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: just is like, well, sorry, we blew that call and

694
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: that's it. I mean it's a basket. Sorry, And that

695
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 5: was so badly like because just before that, I think

696
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 5: it was Nie Smith kind of tip one in that

697
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 5: was a goaltending, so it was almost like the follow

698
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 5: up play they did that again, so you know that

699
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 5: one yes being town boys clearly upset, but the other

700
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 5: one they got away with. So these things tend to

701
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 5: just even now, you know. And yeah, I have.

702
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: A whole Smart getting NRK in the old Heberty.

703
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then he ends up getting injected. But yeah,

704
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 5: I mean that was one of those plays that that's

705
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 5: what he sort of sold it. But then Nurkic did move.

706
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 5: I mean, bang bang. It does every plays a bang

707
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 5: bang play banging scale. Actually, speaking of Scalabrini, he wanted

708
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: the I think he said twenty four seconds only for

709
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: a review, which is which is like, I think everyone's like,

710
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 5: we need to find a quicker way to do it,

711
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 5: because they did see Smart forever. Yes it looks so long.

712
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I mean, I get it. They want

713
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: to get it right, but at a certain point it's

714
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: anyway we don't.

715
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 6: I think DC in the stream team said it took

716
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 6: six minutes and forty five seconds.

717
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: Marcus's long way.

718
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 6: Too, no doubt.

719
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: I thought it was ten minutes plug okay, I thought they.

720
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 6: Went to the review board to check on that. Tristan

721
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 6: Thompson dunk because they had never seen him jump so

722
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 6: high in his life. That guy was sky for the tip. Duncan.

723
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 6: They took it away just like that.

724
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: Okay, I know the Beantown boys were upset there, at

725
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: least in our Twitter feed this morning. You'd better talk

726
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: about this game. Oh we got robbed, lisays, come on

727
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: and all. Evenso, you're right about the pretchered one. They

728
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: got away with that one, But that was entertaining a game, Trey.

729
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: Who's your NBA weekend winner? Oh?

730
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 6: Remember the Orlando Magic? Remember those guys. They were looking

731
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 6: like losers for this weekend. Lost to the Grizzlies on Friday,

732
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 6: and Memphis won despite shooting just thirty four percent from

733
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 6: the field. The Magic shot thirty one percent from the floor,

734
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 6: had twenty turnovers and sixteen assists, a final score ninety

735
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 6: two to seventy five for the Grid. On Friday, Pat

736
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 6: Garrity versus Bryant reeves out there. It was looking like

737
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 6: another loss. In the rematch on Saturday, Grizzlies led by

738
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 6: twenty in the third quarter. Orlando said, not so fast.

739
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 6: My friend Moe Wagner went for fourteen in the second half.

740
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,719
Speaker 6: He hit a huge shot to tie things up.

741
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 4: Late.

742
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 6: Dwayne Bacon was sizzling, adding fifteen in the second half.

743
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 6: The star, though, and my official winner of the weekend

744
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 6: Cole Anthony fifteen points in the fourth quarter, finished with

745
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 6: a career high twenty six on the night, and he

746
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 6: kept things off with a buzzer beating almost I think

747
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 6: there was point one second, so it doesn't technically count.

748
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: But on that point one, get out of here, get

749
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: it out of here?

750
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 6: Come on, what are we using quartz crystals to make

751
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 6: sure these things are perfect? I doubt it? Nonetheless, game

752
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 6: winning three over Kyle Anderson. The shot was great. The

753
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 6: interview afterwards arguably better. Take a listen at the end of.

754
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: The Minnesota game, you said, let the ball come to

755
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: me because I know I'm gonna make it.

756
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 4: Was that the same feeling tonight.

757
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 7: Colch Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on yeah.

758
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 3: But to take us into the huddle, what happened?

759
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: What was the play and was that exactly what was

760
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: drawn up?

761
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: Man?

762
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, we had a few plays out and we had

763
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 7: played drawn up before that. If the ball had come

764
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 7: to us when they was reviewing that joint and I

765
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 7: was honestly in my head like I just really just

766
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 7: want Io, now you're gonna lie to you.

767
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: I wanted I saw.

768
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 7: I just knew I got someone on the island. It

769
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 7: wasn't gonna be safe. That's that's real what I knew

770
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 7: was happening. But that that was the play we drew

771
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 7: up came off that See I had my see I

772
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 7: had Kyling was like he game just try to get

773
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 7: his money.

774
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: Incredible.

775
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so good two game winners this season though

776
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 6: for Cole Anthony, I don't know. There can't be a

777
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 6: lot of rookies that have two game winners in their

778
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 6: rookie season. This one is arguably even less crazy than

779
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 6: the one against the Timberwolves where they just threw a

780
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 6: full court passing bombs it in. That was a wild

781
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 6: one too, but the magic. You know, they don't have

782
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 6: a ton of wins this year, but they got Cole

783
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 6: Anthony winning him a couple of games. And he's great

784
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 6: on the mic as well.

785
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: So good charismatic man. We got some charismatic rookie in

786
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: this class, right with Anthony Edwards. He's incredible in the

787
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: postgame interviews. Col Anthony, he's having a sneaky like good

788
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: run here too. Cole Anthony, Like, he's not gonna win

789
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 2: with either year. I'm not going overboard anything like that,

790
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: but he's you know, he's gonna probably make h do

791
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 2: they still do ald rookie teams, that's still the thing. Yeah,

792
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna be in the mix for the at

793
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: least make the second one. He doesn't make the first one.

794
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

795
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, two game winners and he missed a bunch of

796
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 4: time this season. And he's just hot on the mic.

797
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 4: I just gotta love those vibes when he gets on there. Yeah,

798
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: him and Anthony Edwards, two rooks that I mean, they

799
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 4: don't lack confidence, that's for sure. No, those guys, those

800
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 4: guys can be you know, they can be spokesman for

801
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 4: the league. They're so so good on the mic. They're great.

802
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 4: Love their vibes, their energy here on them Monday, can't

803
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 4: can't deny it.

804
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 6: Let's got this money.

805
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: You probably hated that Cole Anthony shot though. You didn't

806
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: like it, right, you can be honest.

807
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 4: No, it was fine.

808
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 5: I mean he didn't have much city really.

809
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm just kidding, always saying go to the rim,

810
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 2: go to the rim. Yeah, yeah, it was a bit

811
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: of a It was a bit of a prayer because.

812
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 4: He's not.

813
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 5: There was two guys there. He didn't have much time.

814
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 5: You had to just basically fire it away. So you know,

815
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 5: you know you enough it in. But I'm actually there's

816
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 5: a stat here. I'm just trying to read it on

817
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 5: the fly. I know you love this ski tea, but

818
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 5: since the ninety six ninety seven, only three NBA rookies

819
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 5: in their rookie campaign have made two or more last

820
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 5: second game winning shots. Okay, now you'll get one, because

821
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 5: in fact you'll get both of them. One was Rookie

822
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 5: of the Year, I believe, but he had a very

823
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 5: quick decline and is no longer in the league. Great

824
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 5: Tyreek Evans. And the other one is is very very

825
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 5: close to us time, very close to us here in Atlanta,

826
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 5: Young Tree Young yeah wer Yeah, So there you go.

827
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 5: And Peyton Pritchett also had one game winning layup, so

828
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 5: this season had a ly on actually against that.

829
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of rookies, just a little mini Winners of

830
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 2: the weekend, LaMelo ball back in our lives, that's great,

831
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: back in the back to action with the Hornets and

832
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: was coming through with the highlights already, Like I mean,

833
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: what do you have like three or four.

834
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 9: Like incredible highlights in his like last two games here,

835
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 9: you know, had the switch in mid air with the layoup,

836
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 9: he had like that underhand like corn hole toss pass ahead,

837
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 9: he had the football pass.

838
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy, like it just comes.

839
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 3: Back and he's just making all these highlights.

840
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 2: So that's good, you know, not that the Hornets were

841
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: like winning a bunch of games here with Stilly.

842
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: You're loving it.

843
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 5: Right, That left handed layup was so smooth and so beautiful.

844
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 5: I was like, what is going on here? Then they

845
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 5: had it in the SlowMo replay as well on the

846
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 5: NBA Instagram was awesome. Yeah, oh my god, that is gorgeous.

847
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 5: Like for a guy who again you know, worrying about

848
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 5: whether or not he could shoot, whether or not he'd

849
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 5: be you know, really actually able to adjust his game

850
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 5: to the NBA. He looks so much more mature than

851
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 5: any other sort of rookie, you know, and and maybe

852
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 5: playing against men in a he was helping him there

853
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 5: in that sense. I don't know.

854
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: I mean he's a little bit older.

855
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 5: I guess I think this.

856
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: Is pretty Don't get me wrong, but I think we're

857
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: going a little overboard with this, like of the guys

858
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 2: in the league could do this. I think the passes

859
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 2: were crazier. The underhand pass I had.

860
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 5: That was crazy that you just don't see that. That

861
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 5: was you know, the Pig Marivich comparison was being made there.

862
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 5: You know, the way that he just held it down there.

863
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 5: But I mean it was just so smooth.

864
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: He is just.

865
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 5: Electrifying to watch, and you know, the Hornets are so

866
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 5: much better off when he plays and to watch, and

867
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 5: it's just great for the league. It's great for the

868
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 5: league for a guy who was so hyped up, you know,

869
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 5: to actually go out there and deliver so many, so

870
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 5: many things close to what we were hoping to see

871
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 5: but wondered if he could actually deliver. Is is incredible couple.

872
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 6: I just love following Hornets social media. You know they'll

873
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 6: sweet out a clip from a LaMelo highlight. I think

874
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 6: this one was the full court underhand pass and the

875
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 6: first comment afterward is the meme somebody smashing a button,

876
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 6: you know, but on the button it says, hum Diddley

877
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 6: d Collins ready to drop a diddlely d autumn.

878
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: That's good. It's good.

879
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 2: A few other mini winners here, I mean the Jannis

880
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 2: versus dram Battle on Sunday. Go back and watch the

881
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 2: highlights if you haven't. I mean, an awesome game, huge

882
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 2: win from the box. But Gianni's going for forty nine.

883
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: What Duran end with forty two?

884
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 3: Interesting two task?

885
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: Like how the Nets decided to play honest, I thought

886
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: was fascinating.

887
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 4: It was like, all.

888
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 2: Right, you know, we're gonna put DeAndre Jordan on you

889
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: for a lot of time. Also, we're just gonna back

890
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: up off you like as many possessions as we can.

891
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 3: And Giannis made them pay.

892
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: But I just wonder, like will they continue with that

893
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: type of strategy if they meet in.

894
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: The playoff series?

895
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 2: Like this idea of like just see if you're honest,

896
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: com beat us because he did on Sunday, But I

897
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: don't know can you do that four times in a

898
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: seven game series.

899
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: I don't know that man's footspeed against DeAndre Jordan's foot

900
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 4: speed or Blake Griffin's even yeah, kind of destroy them.

901
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 4: He's gonna score at will steam Nash said after the game.

902
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 4: It's I'm not hiding any I'm not hiding any schemes, guys.

903
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 4: This is just how we're playing. I think Steve Nash

904
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 4: is already playing their coach game. I think he's lying.

905
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 4: I think he knows that he.

906
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 3: Can't do it really well.

907
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 4: He's just gonna, like every other team in the playoffs,

908
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 4: like second guy, you know, like the Raptors beat the Bucks,

909
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: like a second guy to stop Yanny. See they have nobody.

910
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 4: DeAndre Jordan can't keep up. It's like, are you just

911
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 4: gonna literally just put DeAndre Jordan underneath the hoop? Because

912
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: that's almost like what it was. It's like Yanni shoot

913
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 4: ten footers like he and then and then when he

914
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 4: came out even a few feet because they were literally

915
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 4: playing him one on one, was just able to spin

916
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 4: and go to the other side. And like him and Blake,

917
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: they just can't keep up. So I mean, they just

918
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 4: don't have everybody can't do it though, like everybody is

919
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 4: you know, they try, even like who is the best

920
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 4: one on one stop? Over the last few playoff seasons,

921
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: we see it year after year after year. Al Horford

922
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 4: was decent, but there's always a second guy. There's always

923
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 4: the second guy.

924
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: That's I think that's pro a bunch of your third guys.

925
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 4: Let the other Bucks beat you.

926
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: I will say, well, that's what I sort of like,

927
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't mind the strategy, is my point. I actually

928
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: take away the other bucks if you can, because if

929
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: you remember, we used to talk about this with Steve

930
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 2: Nash for crying out loud, like, hey, make Steve Nash

931
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 2: try and beat you, because he doesn't want to go

932
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 2: for forty.

933
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to shoot a bunch of threes.

934
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 2: This was obviously Nation his prime in Playoff series, and

935
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: it was the whole thing, like take away Murray, take

936
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: away Mary, and take away everybody else and make Steve

937
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: try and go for the forty plus. Now, Nash and

938
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: Yannis are completely different players, but there is some similarities

939
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: in the sense like Jannists can get in there all

940
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 2: the time and then set up guys, but if you

941
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: can take away those guys, then see if Jannis can

942
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: beat you. Like basically single handling again worked on Sunday.

943
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 3: I don't mind the.

944
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 2: Strategy to some extent though I think it's a little fascinating.

945
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: You'd like to see him probably have to line a

946
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 2: lot more if you're going to do that strategy, because

947
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 2: he's not great there because he only went to the

948
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 2: line like I don't know what was at least six

949
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 2: times he's.

950
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 6: Making jump shots yesterday. Yeah, right, like eight jumpers. So yeah,

951
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 6: I actually do think the Nets will take their chances

952
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 6: with that. To me, the most impressives had was like

953
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 6: he had a sick up and under where he got

954
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 6: somebody jumping and he finished really smooth at the rim.

955
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 6: That's where he's gonna make his hay in the playoffs,

956
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 6: because yeah, teams are gonna be okay with Yanni's taking jumpers.

957
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 6: That's better than dunks.

958
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was Blake Tague. Yeah, that's the thing.

959
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 5: He went four for eight from downtown, and I think again,

960
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 5: if you're the Nets, he's going to take eight threes,

961
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 5: you say, you know, if he makes four of them,

962
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 5: then good on him, but they're probably bake on him

963
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 5: making Yeah, you're probably only going to make one or two.

964
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 5: I mean twenty one for thirty six. So he took

965
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: a ton of shots, but it's a good percentage to

966
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 5: shoot and finish with forty nine points. So h you know,

967
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 5: that was a dominant performance. I mean, Durant is probably

968
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 5: the most athletic guy and the quickest guy. Keep up

969
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 5: with him, but you obviously don't want to wear him

970
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 5: out having to defend Jannas on one end and then

971
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 5: having having him put up forty two on the other. So,

972
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 5: I mean that's what sort of Blake should be there for.

973
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 5: It's like a physical guy and not as quick, but

974
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 5: you know, to body Yannis when he gets into the paint.

975
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 5: But Jannis didn't have any problem with him yesterday.

976
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: True Holiday locked up.

977
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: I thought Kyrie Irving yesterday too, because again I've been

978
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 2: talking of Kyrie all season long. Drew was awesome on

979
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving. He is a legit incredible perimeter defender. Sorry

980
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: to jumped in.

981
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 4: No, yeah, there is the other the Nick Claxton factor.

982
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 4: They didn't play Nick Claxton, who is their skinny big who.

983
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 4: He's definitely got a little more foot speed than DeAndre

984
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 4: Jordan or Blake Griffin. But I can see making the

985
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 4: comparison between Yannison and Steve Nash. I know they've got

986
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 4: like the same amount of athleticism, like they're the exact

987
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 4: same player. But yeah, the Nets got the or the

988
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 4: Bucks got the win, and I like they haven't been

989
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 4: able to prove that their other supporting cast like Middleton

990
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 4: and all those guys have been able to help out Yannison,

991
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 4: Yannis isn't like a natural passer on the move, Like,

992
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: it's just that that's how teams have won. So anyways,

993
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 4: Nash would probably change it up a little bit, and

994
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 4: he may be keeping Claxton in the in the drawer

995
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 4: there because Claxton is available to come back to play.

996
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 4: But we're getting a little too deep with the Claxton defense.

997
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 4: Let me let me back paddle here. Let's talk about

998
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 4: something else.

999
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: Uh, just finally, I want to point out Jason Tatum

1000
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 2: going for sixty on Friday night in that thirty two

1001
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 2: point comeback deserves a little winner of the weekend nod

1002
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 2: here and you saw maybe after Wow, it is storming

1003
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: here in Atlanta.

1004
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: I've just heard the thun.

1005
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 6: Saying, is Trey broadcasting from the dark kind of yeah,

1006
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: really dark out here? Supposedly there's a tornado warning goaling.

1007
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just got that away phone. Yeah. I was

1008
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 3: surprised that we're all still here.

1009
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: To be honest, I was like, somebody's WiFi is going

1010
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 2: to be going here a second, some tree is going

1011
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: to be falling and taking out the signal. But anyway,

1012
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 2: Tatum sixty, Lee, are you okay? Because I saw people

1013
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 2: tweeting this into us over the weekend. What's the minimum

1014
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: number of points scored that? You're all right with a

1015
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: guy holding up a sheet of paper that has the

1016
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: number of points scored on because Tatum had that photo,

1017
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: we don't have it for you, Sorry, Jny. I should

1018
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: have grabbed that. But like he's got the sixty on

1019
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 2: the piece of paper? Is that the minimum?

1020
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 4: Is that?

1021
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 3: Okay? Or do you need more?

1022
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: Like?

1023
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: Where are you follow that?

1024
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 5: Sixty still seems like forty these days is no big deal.

1025
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 5: Fifty people like, oh yeah, you've got a fifty piece. Nice.

1026
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 5: Sixty is still that? Like, okay, that guy was boring.

1027
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 5: That guy was boring in the game. The thing is,

1028
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 5: so this is the only thing he tied Larry Legend

1029
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 5: for the Celtics record is only sixty, which is kind

1030
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 5: of surprising. I thought I thought at some point someone

1031
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 5: would have had more than that. So I'm going to say,

1032
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 5: if it's a franchise high or tie, I guess with

1033
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 5: a legend like Larry, that's fine, then you can hold

1034
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 5: it up.

1035
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, Okay, I don't like that.

1036
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 2: So, like you're saying, if Anthony Davis goes for sixty

1037
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,359
Speaker 2: eight in a Lakers win, he should not be holding

1038
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 2: up a piece paper that says sixty eight on it.

1039
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 4: Because he can.

1040
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 5: Ye, yeah, yeah, because Kobe got eighty one.

1041
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 3: And forget about this.

1042
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 5: That's Kobe. It's the Lakers. So it's a you know,

1043
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 5: a franchise with a ton of history there, you know.

1044
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 5: So I'm not sure what the Grizzlies record is. But

1045
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 5: if John Moran holds up you know, let's say it's

1046
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 5: a fifty seven, it's like, okay, that's establishing some history

1047
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 5: there with the Grizzlies. But yeah, it's yeah, I saw that.

1048
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 6: It's like, yeah, he's interesting.

1049
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 5: I don't know what that is, but I think, you know,

1050
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 5: I think I think franchise record is where it stops. Anyway.

1051
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 6: Okay, even if it's an overtime you think that's still fair.

1052
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 2: It's yeah, I know, if it's in overtime, you somebody's

1053
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: in the corner of that piece of paper should have

1054
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 2: to put bracket ot bracket.

1055
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, something, just a note, just for a posterio.

1056
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 6: I'm sure if Brian Scalabrini's son is watching right now,

1057
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,479
Speaker 6: I do see Brian Scalabrini Junior in the stream team.

1058
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 6: I think it's a fake, but I will say that

1059
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 6: I love when a Celtic is on fire to be

1060
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 6: watching a Celtics broadcast and just here sheesh, because sometimes

1061
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 6: there's just not something you can say. So it was

1062
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 6: happening in the Celtics game last night. Tatum was like

1063
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 6: pulling up and hitting some crazy three pointers in the

1064
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 6: first half. I think they said he had twenty points

1065
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 6: and a half four straight halves, going back to the

1066
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 6: game against the Hornets prior to the Spurs game. But yeah,

1067
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 6: Scale is hitting this with some serious geesh jeez, I love.

1068
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: It going for sixty. So good on them there.

1069
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to the losers of the NBA weekend.

1070
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 5: Will you get a starty, Well, it's basically as the

1071
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 5: San Antonio Spurs thirty two point lead they had. They

1072
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 5: were looking great, looking very comfortable, and they gave it

1073
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 5: back pretty easily, got to overtime, but then they couldn't

1074
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 5: close it out and Tatum again hit those two free

1075
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 5: throws to give him the sixty. So I think if

1076
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 5: you give up a thirty two point lead, it's hard

1077
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 5: to sugarcoat that. And then again, they had a chance

1078
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 5: last night against the Sixers, but surprisingly rested some players.

1079
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 5: I sort of, I mean I alluded to it earlier.

1080
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 5: I sort of thought Pop might have been like, all right,

1081
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 5: you know, I know we need to rest guys, keep

1082
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 5: them fresh, but we've got to make amends for such

1083
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 5: a poor loss on Friday night and said they didn't.

1084
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 5: But they did battle and nearly pulled out the victory anyway,

1085
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 5: but Simmons got the tip in. So now the Spurs,

1086
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 5: this is the thing. They remain two and a half

1087
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 5: games up on the Pelicans, who actually won a couple

1088
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 5: in a row here, two in a row, that one,

1089
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 5: and the Spurs lost three straight. But this is the

1090
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 5: Jazz has run Excuse me, this is the Spur run

1091
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 5: home Jazz twice on the road, Blazers, okay, Blazers, Kings, Bucks, Nets, Nicks,

1092
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 5: and with two home games against the Phoenix Suns. Now,

1093
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 5: obviously those last three or four games, teams could be

1094
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 5: resting and trying to jockey for position a little bit,

1095
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 5: so they're probably safe. But if the Pelicans can string

1096
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 5: together a couple of wins here, that's a murderous row

1097
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 5: of opponents there for the San Antonio Spurs. They have

1098
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 5: to keep on. They have to win at least sort

1099
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 5: of four of those games against opponents that might themselves

1100
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 5: like Brooklyn and Milwaukee maybe, and trying to get that

1101
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 5: top spot in the Eastern Conference. If they are going

1102
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 5: for it's going to be so tough for them. So yeah,

1103
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 5: two in a row, starting with the first two in Utah.

1104
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 5: So the window, the door, whatever you want an analogy

1105
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 5: you want to use for the Pelicans, it is a

1106
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 5: tiny bit open. It is a tiny bit open.

1107
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 2: But they don't play the Warriors like three times still too.

1108
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 3: The Pelicans, I believe it is, right.

1109
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is the biggest game in the universe. Sorry,

1110
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 2: my goodness, I forgot about Marvel Night.

1111
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 3: That's tonight on a Monday night.

1112
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 6: I don't know. It's no, it's May third. You're right,

1113
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 6: it is a Marvel Monday.

1114
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 3: Oh weird, Okay.

1115
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, So the Pelicans you're saying have a

1116
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 2: small small chance herely.

1117
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 3: Like we pretty much.

1118
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 5: I think I think you tweeted one of the standings,

1119
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 5: you know, last week, you said it's pretty much ever

1120
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 5: and it looks like it is. It still looks like

1121
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 5: you'd be you'd rather be the Spurs and the Pelicans

1122
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 5: from here. But man, they've got a tough schedule for here, so, Uh,

1123
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 5: a chance for the Pills if they stay healthy and

1124
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 5: keep winning.

1125
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Spurs, that's a that's an obvious one. I think

1126
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: we've already sort of talked about the Lakers two tasks.

1127
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: I think we can very easily put them into a

1128
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 2: loser of the weekend situation. Uh.

1129
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 3: But is there another team that jumps out to you?

1130
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 4: Well, the Mavericks part of that three way tie in

1131
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 4: the fifth, sixth, seventh seed there, they're trying to stay

1132
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 4: out of the play in tournament that they hate that.

1133
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 4: Luca Has says he's hated. Mark cuban Has says he's hated. Well,

1134
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 4: they've got eight games left in the regular season, and

1135
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 4: the worrisome part they could miss Luca for one of

1136
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 4: those games because he has too many technical fouls this season.

1137
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: You get to sixteen t's on the season, you get

1138
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 4: suspended for a game, and against the Kings on Sunday

1139
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 4: he got two more, bringing him up to fifteen. So

1140
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 4: he just needs one more, and I think there's a

1141
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 4: chance that one of those is rescinded. They're going to

1142
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 4: appeal to the league and say, hey, can a guy

1143
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 4: throw about a ball off of stanchion? Is that cool.

1144
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 4: Does he have to get a technical foul for that?

1145
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 4: Or does referee not like the color of Luca's eyes

1146
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 4: because he just looked at him and got a technical

1147
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 4: foul for that when everybody was getting tossed at the

1148
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 4: end of the game, including Carlisle. So it's getting pretty

1149
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 4: close down to the wire. Yeah, they need every win,

1150
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 4: and their schedule definitely one of the easier schedules, but

1151
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 4: still they need Luca out there. It's wild to see

1152
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 4: that the last nine games the Maps have won six

1153
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 4: of them and the three losses have been to the

1154
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 4: Sacramento Kings, all of us in tall three to the

1155
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 4: Lowly Kings. So they're done with the Kings for the season,

1156
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 4: so now they can just go win every other game.

1157
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Luca Watches is important and it changes

1158
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 4: going into the playoffs. It's a new fresh slate of

1159
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 4: text going into the playoffs, so those rules don't apply.

1160
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 4: If he does get into the play in tournament, he

1161
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 4: can't get be suspended for the play in tournament, I guess,

1162
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 4: or the playoffs. That's a that's a new bracket. So yeah,

1163
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 4: it's the Luca Watches on. But I think he'll get

1164
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 4: one rescinded today after all a sudden done. But he's

1165
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 4: still close. He still break right.

1166
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,880
Speaker 2: Okay, if you were, would you bet on him missing

1167
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: a game here down the stretch, like you said, eight

1168
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 2: games left, because let's say they do riscin one.

1169
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 3: I'm sort of with you on that. I feel like

1170
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: that could happen.

1171
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, would you put money on him still

1172
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 2: getting picking up two I guess more and actually missing

1173
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 2: a game, or will he really keep himself under control

1174
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 2: with obviously all these games mattering so much in terms.

1175
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 4: Of playoffs, Luca or the field. I'm taking the field.

1176
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 4: I don't think he gets I don't think he gets

1177
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 4: another another one at all. Just I mean, they're not

1178
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 4: he come play in for sure?

1179
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 3: An Yeah, And.

1180
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 5: Jack Lowe pointed that out earlier this season, and Mark Cuban,

1181
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 5: you know that he doesn't know what he's talking about,

1182
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 5: and it's like, but he does. Luca has always and

1183
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 5: it's always that like he's.

1184
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 3: Like, what's going on, what's going on?

1185
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 5: And so I think that does just wear down the

1186
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 5: officials after a while. That's what it is. It's like

1187
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 5: you can't complain on every single call. Luca's great, he's

1188
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 5: a fantastic player, but he does constantly get in the

1189
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:26,839
Speaker 5: ref face, so it's going to be tough for him

1190
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 5: to sort of change that way that he expresses himself.

1191
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 5: Knowing how close to the line he is for getting

1192
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 5: a suspension.

1193
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 4: He speaks with his hands. The rest don't like that.

1194
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 4: I mean, that's why they look at him. I guess

1195
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 4: it was a staring tech to eject him from the game.

1196
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 4: Like it was like it was like maybe a beat

1197
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 4: too long. It was a look over and it was

1198
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 4: like boom, boom, tigue, you give me two seconds of

1199
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 4: a look but that's too much, like he was just

1200
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 4: I guess he was just looking at him for a

1201
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 4: little too long. And yeah again like if you're not

1202
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 4: with our YouTube, on our YouTube, Lee, just you know,

1203
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 4: he did the invitation of what Luca does all the time.

1204
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 4: He throws his hands up, he looks at the ref

1205
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 4: and the refs are American. They don't like this zero

1206
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: this stuff happening. Don't look at me like that, Luca.

1207
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:11,879
Speaker 6: Tray.

1208
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: Do you think he'll play play nice here over the

1209
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: last what two weeks?

1210
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 6: Okay, so I think the second team will get rescinded,

1211
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 6: So he's got two to play with really here, and

1212
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 6: my guess is that he won't pick up technical foul

1213
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 6: number sixteen until the Mavericks are locked into whatever seed

1214
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 6: they are. But he's gonna get another one, but he's

1215
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 6: going to miss a game that ultimately doesn't matter with

1216
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 6: regards to seeding. I don't know exactly how that's gonna

1217
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 6: work out, but it's tough to just turn off the

1218
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 6: flaucet like that. If you're used to reacting like that

1219
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 6: after every single play, which Luca does, it's hard to

1220
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 6: just stop.

1221
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:43,839
Speaker 4: You know.

1222
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 6: Tim Duncan used to react like that after every single

1223
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 6: play and that was okay as well. Like it just

1224
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 6: once you've established yourself, and Luca is getting there. We

1225
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 6: think he's established because he's certainly an MVP candidate and

1226
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 6: he will be in the future. But he's still just

1227
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 6: in his third year, hasn't really done a whole ton

1228
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 6: in the NBA. As he continues to gather that respect,

1229
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 6: he'll get away with even more complaining great stuff.

1230
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 2: Hey, hypothetical, if luke O were to pick up his

1231
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 2: sixteenth TECH in the final game of the regular season,

1232
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: would he missed game one of the playoffs? Is it

1233
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 2: carry over into or into the play in like let's

1234
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: say the maps for seventh, because he's sitting that out,

1235
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 2: you magine I think.

1236
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: It would go next year?

1237
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 5: Probably, Yeah, I think that's what it is, is it?

1238
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a fair question. I was thinking the same.

1239
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I think you are right.

1240
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: Maybe it does go over to a game one of

1241
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: next season, because that would be insane if that's when

1242
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 2: he got tossed or picked up his sixteenth tech even

1243
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 2: and then he wouldn't be playing in a hypothetical play game.

1244
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 3: Would being crazy.

1245
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 4: I made it. I made a virtual bet here with

1246
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 4: four Morning Morning Poops in the stream team. He said, Tess,

1247
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 4: I'll bet you twenty dollars during a future happy hour

1248
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 4: that Luca gets suspended before the playoffs. You're on Four

1249
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 4: Morning Poops.

1250
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: Okay, you are on all right, so you're obviously saying

1251
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,919
Speaker 2: he will miss a game due to suspension, like yeah,

1252
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: technical suspension, Yeah, okay, all right, man, Tessa is just

1253
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: trying to make money here from everybody this season, Oh, tray,

1254
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 2: loser of the weekend?

1255
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 6: Who you got biggest loser of the weekend? The Oklahoma

1256
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 6: City Thunder, biggest loser of the season. Technically on Saturday,

1257
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 6: lost by fifty seven to the Pacers. That heinz fifty

1258
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:25,760
Speaker 6: seven sauce worst loss in the league since twenty eighteen.

1259
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 6: The Thunder had and there were some crazy things going

1260
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 6: on in this box score. Demanta Sabonis hadn't played in

1261
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 6: basically two weeks. He came back and had a triple

1262
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 6: double in the first half, joining only Russell Westbrook and

1263
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,439
Speaker 6: nicolea Jokic as players to triple double in the first

1264
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 6: half since nineteen ninety eight. Doug McDermott scored sixteen in

1265
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 6: the first quarter. He finished with the career high thirty

1266
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 6: one points. But my favorite thing from this blow out

1267
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 6: is that the Pacers were up by sixty seven with

1268
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 6: four minutes left, looking like they might set the record

1269
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 6: for biggest win ever sixty eight points, But then the

1270
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,919
Speaker 6: Thunder scored ten straight in the fourth got the lead

1271
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 6: back to a respectable fifty seven.

1272
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 4: All.

1273
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 6: In all, one hundred and fifty two points for the Pacers,

1274
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 6: the most they've scored since joining the NBA in nineteen

1275
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 6: seventy six. Meanwhile, the Thunder have lost twenty of their

1276
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 6: last twenty two. They're six and twenty three since the

1277
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,760
Speaker 6: All Star break. This is elite tanking by the Thunder

1278
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 6: a fifty seven point loss. Unbelievable.

1279
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are right behind, I say, behind the Magic

1280
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 2: there when you're looking at tankathon dot com there this

1281
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: morning in terms of like helping their chances to even

1282
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 2: a little bit more to get the number one seed

1283
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 2: because the Magic are the fourth, you know, worst team

1284
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: record wise, and then you got the Thunder sandwiched in

1285
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 2: between the Magic and the Calves there.

1286
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 3: It's very very tight here.

1287
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I would have seen him assume the Thunder

1288
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 2: will keep leaning into losing all these games. But man,

1289
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: they're like, it's one thing to lose by ten, fifteen

1290
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 2: to twenty. Like I'm saying seven at home, wasn't it?

1291
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 3: That was a home game.

1292
00:55:58,680 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 5: It was at home.

1293
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, God might.

1294
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 3: Just fans in the building for that crap.

1295
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 5: Lost by three last night to the Phoenix.

1296
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 6: That's right, that's true.

1297
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 4: It's true.

1298
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, our final loser of the weekend.

1299
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 2: I was I was curious if Trey was going to

1300
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 2: touch on it, but he went with the Thunder, so

1301
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 2: I'll do it. Gotta say the Bulls are a loser

1302
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: of the weekend because two losses this weekend, Bucks and

1303
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 2: The Hawks look good teams obviously, but still the Bulls

1304
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 2: are They're maybe done, They're possibly done here. They are

1305
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 2: three games now behind the Wizards for that final playing

1306
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 2: spot in the.

1307
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 3: East, and it just sucks.

1308
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 2: Zach Lavigne hasn't played since April fourteenth because of COVID

1309
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 2: nineteen protocols. The Bulls are four and ten in their

1310
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: last fourteen. You know, it hasn't gone well since making

1311
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 2: that huge, great move at the deadline to bring in

1312
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 2: another All Star in vooch and then this week the

1313
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: Bulls are playing the Sixers. They're in Charlotte, they play

1314
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 2: Boston and then Okay, and then they play the Pistons.

1315
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,839
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't at this point. They got

1316
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: to start going like three and won here in these weeks,

1317
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 2: if not four and oh to like really have a

1318
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 2: chance of getting into the to the play in tournament

1319
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 2: and catching either the Pacers or the Wizards. The Raptors,

1320
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 2: of course, did pick up a win against Lakers last night,

1321
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 2: so they're a tiny bit better than the Bulls.

1322
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 3: But sorry, Trey, I had had to do it too.

1323
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm thinking Chicago might might be done. I think the

1324
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 2: Rapts are a fit. I think they're actually done anyway,

1325
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 2: as well to zombie Raps. But yeah, the Bulls really

1326
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 2: cemented that I think this weekend, especially with the.

1327
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 3: Loss of the Hawks.

1328
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 6: Thank you to the Chicago Bulls for allowing me to

1329
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 6: care about this season up until ten games remaining. That

1330
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 6: hasn't been the case the previous three seasons and skeets.

1331
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 6: I don't know if you noticed nineteen points for Patrick

1332
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 6: Williams in his last game he took thirteen shots.

1333
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 3: Maybeah, yeah, things are.

1334
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 6: Really turning around, but uh, yeah, it's over for the Bulls.

1335
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 6: I don't I don't know if we'll even see Zach

1336
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 6: Lavine play another game this season. He's been out for

1337
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 6: two and a half weeks at this point. Hearing Billy

1338
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 6: Donovan talk, he saying, I don't know when he's going

1339
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 6: to be back, So I wouldn't be surprised if it's

1340
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,959
Speaker 6: not until next year because the Bulls at this point

1341
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 6: they're gonna want to try and keep that pick. They

1342
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 6: want to get into the top four so that they

1343
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 6: don't have to convey it to the Magic.

1344
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Raptors do have a game left against the Wizard,

1345
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: so that's huge, you too, huge.

1346
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 3: But still two and a half back.

1347
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to go on an awesome, awesome run

1348
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 2: here as the thunder God speak to us here.

1349
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's wrap this bad rider up here. Okay, I'm

1350
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 6: gonna have to be hitting the bathroom, I think.

1351
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,959
Speaker 3: Okay, not in that.

1352
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,040

00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 2: the stats and the graphics. Last night, low reverses the

1364
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: Lakers thirty seven points, eleven assists, eight three pointers made.

1365
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: The Lakers really refused to trade Tailent Horton Tucker for him.

1366
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 2: Whoa whoa, whoa whoa. They weren't done, stat Muse kept

1367
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 2: going here. Lowry made eight threes versus the Lakers. No

1368
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 2: Lakers hit that many threes in the game. This entire season.

1370
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: weren't done. Lowry has made more threes tonight than Horton

1371
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 2: Tucker in his last twelve games. Was only said that

1372
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: means been they would trained Horton Tucker for this guy.

1373
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 2: And then finally the Lakers are one and six since

1374
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:49,280

Speaker 2: I had to share it because we're talking Marvel here.

1387
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 2: It's from at Underscore Martel and it says there and

1388
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 2: you can maybe we can just go full screen on

1389
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 2: this bad boy here. Hey no, donk' I know you

1390
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 2: mentioned this event before, but why did no one tell

1391
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 2: me that task Melice is filling in his doctors strangish

1392
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 2: dad looks a lot like test.

1393
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna especially like a morning task. But your

1394
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 6: hair is a little floppier perhaps, yeah, or maybe even

1395
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 6: that one day, Skeets when you were having a really

1396
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 6: like nineteen forties hair nail with a nice way to

1397
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 6: the side of it.

1398
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, if task let the hairy yeah droop down

1399
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: a little bit more, that the looks a lot like you.

1400
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 6: Okay, if we were still doing the starters, this would

1401
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 6: be a Halloween costume doctor Steven Silas, but he would

1402
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 6: be half Rockets coach and half Stephen Strange.

1403
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right.

1404
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So we're starting up a new little mini pickam

1405
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 2: battle here. I think we decided what we're gonna make

1406
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 2: the loser get some money to charity. Let's just keep

1407
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 2: it simple like that with this one. I duo two

1408
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 2: payoffs still, so we'll probably get to those a little

1409
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 2: bit later on when we got a little bit more time.

1410
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: But these are brought to you by bet MGM, so

1411
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 2: we'll start it up here. Just may got a couple weeks.

1412
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 4: Task.

1413
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 3: What's tonight's game?

1414
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 4: How about this one. The Lakers add home to the Nuggets.

1415
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 4: Denver's favored by two and a half, so they have

1416
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 4: to win by three in La La, coming off of

1417
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 4: back to back. That loss we talked, just talked about

1418
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 4: with Kyle Lowry embarrassing them, what a wild game that

1419
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 4: was and they need a w you know, Lebron coming

1420
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 4: out and voicing his displeasure with the play in tournament

1421
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 4: after that game. And now they get the Nuggets in

1422
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 4: town are absolutely flying nine and one since Jamal Murray

1423
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 4: went down so close. Line Denver minus two and a half.

1424
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 4: This is a tough one to pick. Who who's got

1425
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 4: to feel anybody?

1426
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 5: I'll open the FUCO first. I feel with you for Lebron,

1427
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,959
Speaker 5: just like I'm gonna destroy a team get a win game.

1428
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 5: But he might not even play tonight because he kindly

1429
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 5: picked up a bit of an injury last night. So

1430
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay with the nuguests. They're flying. I think

1431
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 5: Lebron probably sits out tonight.

1432
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 4: Wow wow wow wow. Yeah, so he missed the last

1433
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 4: six minutes he was sore? Yeah?

1434
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 2: Or did they just shut him down because they were

1435
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 2: sorry of getting there?

1436
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 4: Sixteen? I think it was sixteen points when they decided

1437
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 4: to call it quits. Yeah, it skates, who you got.

1438
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 2: I'm going Lakers. Put me down as Lebron playing angry Lebron.

1439
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 2: You know, the Nuggets are awesome, don't get me wrong,

1440
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 2: but uh, Lakers getting points here. They are playing for something.

1441
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 2: I mean, they don't want in the seventh seeds. So yeah,

1442
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 2: I'll take the Lakers.

1443
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 6: Ray, I'm the same. Give me the Lakers, tiny little underdogs,

1444
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 6: which is nice. Uh, And I feel like when Lebron

1445
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 6: says says something, he really wants to show up for

1446
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 6: the next game, so hopefully he got his gaming chair

1447
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 6: in and is ready to go tonight. Give me the Lakers.

1448
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is an interesting one. I don't know who

1449
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 4: they start on Jokic because I'm thinking about Anthony Davis

1450
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 4: because we're all talking about Lebron and how he's come

1451
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 4: back and they're zero and two. But Lebron or Anthony

1452
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 4: Davis come back and he's looked quite poor, like he

1453
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 4: just hasn't looked like himself. But also I think he's

1454
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 4: got to turn it around. I'll take the Lakers, and

1455
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 4: I think I think Lebron plays they for some reason,

1456
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 4: they really don't want to play in that playing tournament,

1457
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 4: so they got to win at some point. Their schedule

1458
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 4: is tough, so looking forward to this one should be good.

1459
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so three of us taking the Lakers plus

1460
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 2: two and a half leally rolling with the very hot

1461
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets. Probably a smart pick there. I only got

1462
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 2: to win by three or more. All right, that's it

1463
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 2: for us. We got to get out of here. We

1464
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 2: got to get to the get downstairs, getting the uh

1465
