23
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: He was a little worried he was gonna see the

Speaker 3: You gonna wear that cool white Trillby hat that you

27
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: have on my playoff door. I got to it's one

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 3: and one on the season. No choice to wear that. Okay.

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: On today's show, we're gonna run through some NBA weekend

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: winners and losers, as we always do on Monday's podcast.

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: But first we had a couple edgies.

32
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Friday night in La we had Grizzlies rookie Cedric Coward

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: sticking it in there while trying to crawl the rebound.

34
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: And then on Sunday, Drew You Banks back at it again,

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: sticks his second wedgie of the season on a little

36
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, push sort of floater there in the lane.

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: As he gets to twenty nine wedgies for us all.

38
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: I think he tried to Drew U Banks it in

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: but Les miles away. Okay, yeah, I was ready to pun.

40
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: When you see a friggin weggie, year gotta pun.

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: So twenty nine weggies. We are on a great pace.

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Let's keep it going. But we have so much basketball

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: I feel like to talk about him. Yes, so let's

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: do some weekend winners. Do you get to start a here?

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: Tasks?

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, Jalen Brown had a weekend and coming into it,

47
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: he voiced his concerts. He was saying, yeah, the first

48
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: returns on those All Star ballots not good. It's a

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: popularity contest. Then he tweeted smh when the Eastern Conference

50
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: Players of the Month were announced, it wasn't him. Then

51
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: he tweeted best two way player in the game, talking

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: about himself obviously. And then against the Clippers two way

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: play was very good offensively and defensively holding Kawhi, but

54
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: it was the offense, the fifty point burger that he had.

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: He started off so well. The mid range game, midrage

56
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: game is alive. Jalen Brown just getting into it. You

57
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: could hear the mesh ripping on those microphones in Los

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: Angeles there. He kept hitting them. He actually would have

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: had an even bigger night if he didn't get felt

60
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: by Derek Joones Junior. I think on a dunk attempt.

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: It was a monster dunk attempt. And then you know,

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: the left mid ranges were going. I love the lefty

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: mid ranges that he throws out there. And then he

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: kept it going in the second half. You know, it

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: was kind of a quiet twenty point for first half,

66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: and in the third quarter when he was splashing those threes,

67
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: he was just being awesome. You know, you only had

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: eight points from the free throw line for a fifty

69
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: point game. The third quarter was work kind of turned

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: to the nineteen point game, and he said, like, I

71
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: felt good in the warm ups. I felt great. He's

72
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: literally said, I did salsa the day before, so my

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: footwork was good.

74
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: I was wondering when you were going to bring up

75
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: his salsa lessons with Victoria Monet that went viral.

76
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know it was Victoria.

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: It was it was moment. She's an R and B singer.

78
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: I believe I'm not familiar with her work.

79
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 4: She was sitting court side.

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I think, oh, surprising he went for fifty.

81
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, the shot was what I was concerned about.

82
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: The way he was getting into the mid range was great,

83
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: and I guess part of it was the footwork the

84
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 2: prior day doing salsa. But yes, it was great. Obviously

85
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: a great performance. He just looked fantastic the way he

86
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: was able to get to whatever spot he wanted, and

87
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: he looks smooth.

88
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Not only scoring fifty two but also taking the defensive

89
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: assignment on a guy that was.

90
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: On fire in Kawhi Left.

91
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: He was scoring like forty points per game over the

92
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: last five or six and I guess he texted Jaylen Brown,

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: did Joe Mizzoula on the flight to.

94
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: La or that. He's like, Hey, I want to I

95
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: want to guard Kawai. I want that assignment from That's awesome,

96
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: that's awesome.

97
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: He wanted to get it on record though he wanted

98
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 5: the documentation.

99
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: He's like, gimme Kawhi.

100
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 5: I'm the new Kauhi out here, and he looked kind

101
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 5: of kawhi ish if we're being honest. You mentioned the

102
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 5: mid range game, mid range game, and by my zoom

103
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 5: in on the shot chart, it looked like eight of

104
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: nine on middies for this game. He's shooting fifty six

105
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: percent from the mid range this season. It's insane. The

106
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 5: in between game has gotten a lot better. He's super

107
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: comfortable getting to the long twos. But like you're mentioning,

108
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: he's also thrown up his lefty floaters and has just dinkered.

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: Dumper game looks to be really a lot better right

110
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: now as well. His handle is much better, like he's

111
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: stronger with the ball. The guy had to wear a

112
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: Michael Jackson silver glove during the dunk contest because people

113
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: were clowning him for his left hand and now he's

114
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: reliably getting to his left hand when he needs to.

115
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if his dribbles per touch er up

116
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 5: this season, but it feels like they are. It feels

117
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: like he is more poised with the ball in traffic.

118
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: The usage has gone up, the turnover percentage has barely

119
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: gone up. Jalen Brown is making a case. Certainly he's

120
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 5: an All NBA player. That's a lot. The worst, he's

121
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: like a second team All NBA, or he might be

122
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 5: a first team All NBA or and he can sneak

123
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: on to some ballots for the MVP discussion.

124
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely at this point.

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 5: So have a seat at the bar. Maybe you'll get

126
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: to sit at the table by the end of the year.

127
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was upset that Jalen Brunson got Eastern Conference

128
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Player of the Month because he thinks he's.

129
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: Just amazing because no one ever remembers.

130
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, But he just needs something to fuel

131
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: him and it helps out. And listen, the numbers aren't

132
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: all that crazy different. He actually beat Jalen Brunson in

133
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: every December category other than assists, and the Celtics beat

134
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: the Knicks when they did play them, although the Knicks

135
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: were ten and four, Celtics were nine to three and

136
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: the Knicks were NBA Cup champions or whatever, if you

137
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: want to look at it.

138
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: I got the bump. Yeah, I got the cup.

139
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: Well, listen, feel this feels like Jalen Brown's best season

140
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: of his career. He looks like it out there. He

141
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: looks more confident. It looked like going into the playoffs

142
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: where he had to undergo some knee procedures. I thought, okay,

143
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: we're not going to see the best of Jalen Brown

144
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: ever again. And he looked, you know, gould in the playoffs,

145
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: but he sort of up and down. Now he looks fantastic.

146
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: You mentioned the gloves situation. I just saw a Kobe

147
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: Bryant dunk over Jaron Jackson Senior that I was watching

148
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: because I was I was doing current players whose dad's

149
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: played in the league and doing a little short on that.

150
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: I saw Kobe glove dunk. Forgot about that in the

151
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: NBA five. No, that was that the left.

152
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: Hen What are you?

153
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: I don't remember that.

154
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 5: No, he wasn't wearing a glove, the offhand glove like

155
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: Tom Brady.

156
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: Hold on a second, I gotta go back to that.

157
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: I actually saw some Kobe Bryant dunks this weekend as well,

158
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 5: because interesting week The algorithm on Instagram is serving me

159
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 5: up a lot of things about increasing your vertical.

160
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: It knows that that's what I want to do. I

161
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: turn the New year.

162
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: Look at this glove, man, Kobe is wearing a glove.

163
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: Kobe straight up wearing a glove.

164
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: That's a freaking glove. You'll see it in a no

165
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: dunk short. That's a literally a Michael Jackson glove.

166
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: Keep the glove fascinating. I don't wait to see my

167
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: Kobe was about.

168
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: He's he's the best jumper in NBA history because he

169
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: could go off right leg, left leg, or right then

170
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 5: left or left then right.

171
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: He's got all the jumps in his back. So there

172
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: you go.

173
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: That's the things that if you watch enough jumping videos

174
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: on YouTube or on Instagram, you'll get served up that

175
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 5: one great stuff.

176
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: Back to Jalen Brown, he has been way more responsible

177
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: off for Boston's like offense here on a possession by

178
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: a possession basis, but he's been more efficient than ever.

179
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 4: That is the surprising part.

180
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: That's why he's maybe at the end of MVP ballots

181
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: a deserving all NBA obviously All Star guy. I saw

182
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: Ziller in his newsletter make a great point too. Brown

183
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: has not increased his volume three point attempts despite this

184
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: big role change turning into the number one guy. And

185
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: that's like a good point because shot diets, I think

186
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 1: usually get maybe even a little ugly when a second

187
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: option becomes like the main option.

188
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: You're tasked to do more.

189
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: You're maybe gonna settle more, You're gonna be maybe a

190
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: little more fatigued. But Brown has not done that big

191
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: part you said, TK is like the guy's automatic from

192
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty three feet. He's like just on fire

193
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: from mid range. And so hasn't seen a huge, you know,

194
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: drastic increase in three point volume. And that's good because

195
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: he's not like an elite, elite three point shooter. He

196
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: can catch fire. I think he's fairly average, right, thirty six,

197
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent. But I thought that was a good

198
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: point from Ziller, as he just continues to do what

199
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: he's good at and getting here. The Celtics are gonna well.

200
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: Potentially tonight could move into second place in the East Conference,

201
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: depending what happens with the Knicks pinnings systems.

202
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're half game back literally right, which is

203
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: freaking impressive.

204
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

205
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown a key winner of the weekend. What about UTK?

206
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior, a winner of the weekend for me.

207
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 5: Had twenty seven points, eleven rebounds, five assists, and a

208
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: big win in his first game ever against the Denver Nuggets.

209
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 5: Revenge is his yes eighth game with five or more

210
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: assists this season for Michael Porter Junior. He had eight

211
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 5: total games with five or more assists in six seasons

212
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: with Denver. Different style he's playing in Brooklyn. He's handling

213
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 5: the ball more now. But I go, you guys are

214
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 5: ready for Michael Porter January because he's going to be

215
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: the most interesting man in the NBA this month. I

216
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 5: do believe he's the best realistic trade option out there

217
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 5: for a whole bunch of teams. Like, look, Giannis might

218
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: request a trade, He could get traded. We don't know

219
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: what's going to happen with Trey or Jah or LaMelo,

220
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: guys who are like potentially gettable. Michael Porter Junior is

221
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: gettible and his skill set helps a whole bunch of teams.

222
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: Jake Fisher linked him to the Warriors, the pissed in

223
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: the Bucks, the Bulls. I don't know how they snuck

224
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 5: into the mix for sloppy Jake, But there are teams

225
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 5: that like Michael Porter Junior and what he's doing this

226
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: season with the Nets, because we've seen him do it

227
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 5: with the Nuggets. You can be a role player, you

228
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: can shoot threes. The shots he's making this year are crazy.

229
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: Every team tries to guard him with a guard and

230
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 5: he can shoot over any guards. How many baskets did

231
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 5: he have over Bruce Brown yesterday? Just rising up and

232
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 5: firing over him. But we've also seen him be able

233
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: to fit into a role, So he's somewhere in between there.

234
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 5: But the question for me now is like, should the

235
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 5: Nets even trade this guy? Yeah, he's twenty seven years old,

236
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: he's right in the prime of his career. Postgame, he said,

237
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 5: when I was drafted, I expected to be the best

238
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 5: player in the NBA, but then injuries caught up to me.

239
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 5: I knew I was capable of more, and he's getting

240
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: to show that he's capable of more. But like I said,

241
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 5: twenty seven thirty eight million for the rest of this year,

242
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: forty million next year.

243
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: Then he'll be due for a new contract.

244
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: But the Nets are also eight and six since December one,

245
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 5: like they are winning games. Luckily, they started out so

246
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,479
Speaker 5: poorly that they're still fifth in lots.

247
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: They have their own pick.

248
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 5: They owe a swap to Houston for next season, but

249
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 5: they get the Knicks pick in twenty twenty seven, and

250
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 5: then they have at least one extra first in twenty eight,

251
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 5: twenty nine, thirty one, and thirty two. Like you might

252
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 5: have to wile Michael Porter. Are the Nets to get

253
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: Michael Porter Junior? There might be a bidding war for MPJ.

254
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: And that is great for the Brooklyn Nets. Either they're

255
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: getting a great season from him or their return from

256
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: Cam Johnson becomes half an awesome season from Michael Porter Junior,

257
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 5: and then more first round picks additional to the one

258
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 5: that they got in the trade in the first place.

259
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: So cool stuff for the Nets, cool stuff for MPJ.

260
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: He was just cooking yesterday. He was playing tough. He

261
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 5: looked like the biggest guy out there, getting offensive rebounds, inside,

262
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 5: scoring in the paint. Like guys doing it all right

263
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 5: now for the Nets.

264
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: And the Nuggets had a couple guys come back in

265
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: that game. In that Brooklyn Nets victory, they had Aaron

266
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Gordon return off the bench. He came and he played

267
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: really well, and Christian Brown did start, didn't have his

268
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: greatest games Aaron Gordon, but a couple guys coming back

269
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: from Denver so quality win here from Brooklyn who yeah,

270
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: had like this suddenly elite defense here over like the

271
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: last month or so, and then getting enough offense from

272
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: Michael Port Junior leading the way, some of the Rooks

273
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas coming off the bench, and yeah, it's a

274
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: good problem to have. Like TK said, it's like you're

275
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: getting to the point you're just like, do we trade

276
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: this guy? I mean, we are trying to get back

277
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: to being a relevant basketball team. But if the offers

278
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: too good to turn down, you almost you should probably

279
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: be malepractice maybe not to.

280
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be like seventy thirty.

281
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 5: They should trade MPJ, and I think they'll probably get

282
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 5: a pretty good deal as time goes on, because, like

283
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: the honest trade, maybe Tess is right seeming less and

284
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 5: less likely as time goes on. We'll see how the

285
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: Bucks do in the intrim. You know, they got to

286
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 5: win over the Kings, good stuff. You honest wouldn't even

287
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: fight their mascot. Pregame said, I'm focused only on the game.

288
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: Right, So we just don't We just don't know what's

289
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: gonna happen. But MPJ does feel like a.

290
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: Guy who could at least swing a playoff series to me,

291
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 5: and there are teams that could use him because he

292
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 5: slots in pretty easily, he rebounds, he makes tough shots,

293
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 5: he shoots a ton of threes, and he shoots a

294
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 5: good percentage on him as well.

295
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: That's the question if he is the best player available.

296
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: Because I noticed you didn't mention lowry market and I

297
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: know you're not a lowry marketing guy.

298
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 3: I just think him and MPG are the same guy.

299
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: That's all. That's all, man, that's all.

300
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man. I'm not trying to get under your skin.

301
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: But if there is, if he is the best player available,

302
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: they may get a good package. But at the same time,

303
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: you're on the Brooklyn side and you say, who are

304
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: our untouchable players? Look up and down that roster. I

305
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: don't think there's anybody. I know, Agor Demon what has

306
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: looked fine in his first few months in the NBA,

307
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: and they just want to hold onto somebody. And I

308
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: brought up a package with Agor Demon Zaire Williams and

309
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: Nick Klaxton for Trey Young to kind of kind of

310
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: swing their team in a different direction. But it is

311
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: interesting with Michael Porter Jr. They literally don't have a

312
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: lot and because they have a lot of money coming

313
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: off the books this coming season, they don't have a

314
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: lot of money locked up next year, so why not

315
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: keep the guy around? It is interesting. I will say

316
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: just about the Nuggets, they stunk in this game. Defensively.

317
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: They allowed ball penetration, then they allowed back cuts after

318
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: back cuts, which you know, Michael Porter Junior knows how

319
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: to play with with Jokic, Like that team was just

320
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: cutting the Nuggets to death and they could score. And

321
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray was really really good fourteen assists through the

322
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: first three quarters. And then you know, the Nets defense

323
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: was really good in the fourth quarter, but they just

324
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: weren't ready. They just weren't ready. They had a great

325
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: you know, the post Jokich era was good win against Toronto.

326
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: I thought it was a really really good game on

327
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: Friday versus the Cavs where they went down to the wire.

328
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: They played really hard all the way there, but just

329
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: couldn't score in the fourth quarter. And then this was

330
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: a real stinker with a couple other guys coming back,

331
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: so it was a bit disappointing for them.

332
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: Back to the sloppy Jake trade rumors there with Michael

333
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: Porter Junior. Do you have a team that you thinks

334
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: makes the most sense for a team to go and

335
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: try and get Michael Porter Junior. Is it the Pistons is?

336
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 5: Yes, the Warrior. Do you think it's Detroit Pistons. I

337
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 5: think it's maybe Pistons is number one for me. I

338
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: do like the fit with the Warrior as well, but

339
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 5: I just don't know how interested they are in trading

340
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 5: away parts of their future. They've been pretty hesitant to

341
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 5: do that, even though you know Steph Curry is still

342
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: currying it up out there. But I do think he

343
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 5: would be a perfect fit for the Pistons. He would

344
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 5: be what Tobias Harris does for them, but a better

345
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 5: version of that and a younger version than that.

346
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could use some shooting for sure when they

347
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: get into the postseason here. Yeah, we'll see if they're

348
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: active at the trade deadline. I mean, I don't know.

349
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: I keep going back and forth. Like for a while there,

350
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: it looked like it was gonna be very exciting trade,

351
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: they'll dine.

352
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

353
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm losing losing faith that there's gonna be really big

354
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: deals and it's gonna be the type of thing where

355
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: these things happen in the summer instead maybe with some

356
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: of the point guards that you listed, Trey, maybe some

357
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: of these other guys, like, look, we know Jonathan Kaminga's

358
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna get traded.

359
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: I think that's the one thing we know that's gonna happen.

360
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: But otherwise I don't sure. I don't know if there'll

361
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: be any sort of All Star caliber like player. Not

362
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: that Michael Porter Junior's made it yet yet, will he

363
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: make it this year?

364
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: TK You said you were on record early with that

365
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: one could he could?

366
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: He could? We'll see, Yeah, I have no idea. You're right.

367
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: It seeming similarly like there it's not happening, even though

368
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: it started like, oh, there's trades happening. But I am

369
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: looking forward to a month today. I just I just

370
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: found a way to be positive because it is literally

371
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: on February fifth. I've got to wake up every day

372
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: and think, is there a trade coming? And maybe they

373
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: won't be at all. Maybe it's a Triabajie leaving the

374
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: toront Raptors or something could.

375
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: It probably won't be these all right, Moving on to

376
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: my big winner of the weekend Trey.

377
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Last week, I think it's safe to say you caught

378
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: a little flak from uh Blazers fans, Denny Avdia fans

379
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: probably uh bigger than Blazers fans when you talked about

380
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: him being seventh in the Western Conference voting first returns.

381
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: You know, Oh that's uh.

382
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: You did make some comparisons to the Zaza Pachulia days

383
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: and people were pissed. They were pissed. You fired up

384
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: the fan base. Let's say that.

385
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe Denny Avdia himself.

386
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: Was fired up.

387
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: He had a great weekend. That's why winner of the Weekend.

388
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: He averaged thirty one and a half points per game,

389
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: ten and a half assists, and nine boards in two

390
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: victories this weekend. He's put up great numbers all season long. Yeah,

391
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: he's getting backed from an international vote to be seventh

392
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 1: for sure, but he's a deserving All Star I think

393
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: as well. Friday night thirty four points, eleven assists and

394
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: it all win over the Pelicans.

395
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 4: Good stuff.

396
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: And then Saturday, the birthday boy on his birthday, the

397
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: triple double twenty nine points, eleven boards, ten assists to

398
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: help the Blazers beat the Spurs in San Antonio. Now,

399
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: no Wheb Minyama. Obviously that's a big loss for them.

400
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: But the Blazers are short guys too. I mean that's

401
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: why Danny avdy is basically their point guard. They don't

402
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: have anyone else playing point because they're short of all

403
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: their guys, know, Damian Lillard, of course, Drew Holliday, he's out,

404
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: Scoot Henderson.

405
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 4: Do you remember him? Ember Scoot Henderson.

406
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: So Danny Avdya has been sort of their point guard

407
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: all season long, and he was great in this game.

408
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: He had a huge step back three with like fifty

409
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: seconds to go, basically ice the game. So a good

410
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: weekend from Denny. My favorite part only four combined turnovers.

411
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: This is the one fault of his game, and again

412
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: I think a part of it he's been asked to

413
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: do so much as almost like a forward point guard.

414
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: He has a lot of turnovers, but only four two

415
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: in each game. You're gonna live with that with how

416
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: much he has the ball. So this guy is like

417
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: he's leveled up in a great end of last year.

418
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 4: And he's done it consistently all season long.

419
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on on the deniovdia people coming for you

420
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: and just how he's played.

421
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 5: I don't take it back at all. Okay, he's an

422
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 5: All Star absolutely. I totally agree with that. The team

423
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: is built around him. He gets to handle the ball

424
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 5: a lot. The point guard's going out has helped him

425
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 5: put up stats. I'm just saying he shouldn't be higher

426
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 5: than Alfred shen Gun in voting right a game and

427
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: a better player yees sgnest.

428
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 3: That's all.

429
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 5: He's just getting the backing of an international fan base

430
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 5: and that's why we have fan voting. And if his

431
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: fans want to see him, that's very cool. And I

432
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: do think he should be an All Star. And look,

433
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 5: I love to see the Trailblazers getting wins. I thought

434
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 5: Klingon was awesome in both of these two games. He's

435
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 5: like fifteen rebounds and one eleven in another. He's passing

436
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: the ball nicely. He's able to stretch out and shoot

437
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: some threes here and there. It seems crazy that the

438
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 5: Blazers drafted a center after drafting Donovan Klingon. Klan is

439
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: a really good player and He's got a nice fit

440
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 5: with Abdiya as well. And then you look at where

441
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: the NBA seems to be going trend wise, with bigger

442
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 5: and more skilled players being on every team. Like Abdi

443
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 5: is a big wig dude, Clon's a huge dude as well.

444
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: They've got the makings of something there. They just need

445
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: to get some guards happening. Because you know, Scoot even playing,

446
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 5: it would be great to see him turn out to

447
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 5: be anything. But who knows what's going to happen with

448
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 5: that guy. But yeah, Abdya great stuff. Dude gets a

449
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 5: superstar whistle. I think he's leading the league in free

450
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 5: throw at times. That's what happens when you drive every single.

451
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

452
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's huge numbers, just like his fan votes were.

453
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: I am surprised by the international fan votes and how

454
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: they're great for one guy and not so great for

455
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: another guy. I mean, Turkey is a big country. Why

456
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 2: why did Alpera and Changun have far fewer than half

457
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 2: of the votes for Danny Avia Because Shanguna is a

458
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: great player. Avdia really since he left Washington has been cooking.

459
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: He was great in his last year in Washington. The

460
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 2: question was when his shots go up and the attempts

461
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: go up. Will he still be that guy? Last year

462
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: he was just as good, and then this year is

463
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: the surprising part where there's so much on his shoulders

464
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: and he's still good. And when it came down to

465
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 2: this game at the end of the fourth quarter, he

466
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 2: just needed to be taking shots because he's the guy.

467
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: And so it wasn't an incredibly efficient night. But you

468
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: need somebody like that, right, you know, like the gloved

469
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: Kobe that we just talked about. You need somebody to

470
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: be able to do that. And he does it, and

471
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: he does it well and he's super efficient. So great,

472
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: great season for him.

473
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Donovan Klingen because, yeah, like

474
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: his contributions are becoming more regular, which is great.

475
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 4: He's being more consistent.

476
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: The Blazers are sixteen and twenty as they are sort

477
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: of piecing this together here, and he's a terror on

478
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: the glass, like and he might lead the league in

479
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: offensive rebounds per game at least. And suddenly has he

480
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: added a three point shot because over the last ten

481
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: games he's shooting fifteen for twenty seven from deep small

482
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: sample size, I get it. But that game against the

483
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: spurs like Luke Cornett's like, all right, I guess we'll

484
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: let him shoot the three. And he like hits three

485
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: threes in like ninety seconds or like two minutes to

486
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: start the game. So and it looks good. He shoots

487
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: it with confidence. So that's huge if a big guy

488
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: that can rebound and block shots can be a bit

489
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: of a threat on the perimeter, because it's going to

490
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: open things up. And then Caleb love this guy. He's

491
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: played well, Kamara has played well. I'm with you, TK.

492
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: They get themselves like a point guard, like a really

493
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: good guard, maybe two way guy. There's something here. I

494
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: am curious to see when Dame comes back how he

495
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: fits into a team that like is a fast breaking

496
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 1: sort of defensive identity team, you know, not really Damian

497
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: Lillard strong suit at this point of his career. So

498
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: that's we'll worry about that when he's.

499
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: Back next year.

500
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: And maybe that's gotta be I know, I know, but

501
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: in theory he's going to play for them.

502
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 5: To be thirty six next year, super right, right, But

503
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: they don't love that now that you're saying, I know,

504
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 5: I know, it's it's I don't see how it fits.

505
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 4: But anyway fit.

506
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: And he's another guy who doesn't play for them in

507
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: nearly two months. But he'll be fine. He'll be good

508
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: because he'll play off the ball.

509
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: My final note on the Blazers, and I love this guy.

510
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's Canadian, so of course I love him.

511
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: But Shandon Sharp, this guy needs to spend an entire

512
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: offseason working on his handle. He needs to put on

513
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: these gloves and work on his cap. I'm seriously like, like,

514
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: it's the one thing. I'm like, Oh, it's sloppy. He

515
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: just does not have a tight handle. He's obviously an

516
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: athletic freak. I think he is still going to be

517
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: a good player in this league. But do what I

518
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: remember as a Raptors fan, Tomarto Rosen used to not

519
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: be able to dribble. Like there were a couple of

520
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: years early in his careers, like, oh it is not

521
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: a great handle. He got better at it. Jaalen Brown

522
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: of course comes to mind a guy that has improved

523
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: his handle, at least Shadeon Sharp. He needs to get

524
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: whatever those guys did. Maybe Shandon Sharp needs to hit

525
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: the bottom of a pool with Laired Hamilton or something

526
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: like that, But he needs to work on that as

527
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: one I think for him to like go to the

528
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: next level in my mind. So I was my final

529
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: note on the Blazers. But they're a winner of the weekend.

530
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: Let's do another round.

531
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: We got to give the Phoenix Suns a winner of

532
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: the weekend. They beat okay See, and what a win

533
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: it was. They were down big time eighteen in the

534
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: second quarter and they go on their eighteen to two

535
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: run between the second and the third quarter to bring

536
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 2: it back. And it was all Devin Booker, driving and

537
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: driving and driving and get it out to the three

538
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: point shooters because he only had five made shots in

539
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 2: this game, a game they beat Okac. But he did

540
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 2: what he was supposed to do, and when he was

541
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 2: taken away by Okac at the three point line, he

542
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: drove hard. A lot of his points were from the

543
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: free throw line. He set up those threes for his teammates,

544
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: including Jordan Goodwin. What a game for that dude off

545
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: the bench, career high. He splashed eight threes just sitting

546
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: there out there at the three point line.

547
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: Was huge.

548
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks same thing, twenty two points and kudos to

549
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: Jordan not head coach of the Phoenix Hunts, playing those

550
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: guys I'm playing specifically, Jordan Williams. Mark Williams had a

551
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: quiet Jordan Goodwin, excuse me, Mark Williams had a quiet game.

552
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: He only had eight points in this game. They went

553
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: small basically for the entire game to try and battle

554
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 2: Okse's athleticism and it worked. And in that fourth quarter, splash, splash, splash,

555
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: Jordan Goodwin eleven, Dylan Brooks fourteen in that quarter to

556
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: that much. The Dylan Brooks three point shot that the

557
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: form looks freaking nuts. He splashed that huge winning under

558
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: a minute left. And then it took Devin Booker's first

559
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: three of the game to win. It was a game winner.

560
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: Ice CRUs on him, dork coming over super deep.

561
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he has been shooting the three ball at

562
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 4: all well this year.

563
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 2: No, that was his first three of the game. Yeah,

564
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 2: he's twenty nine point five percent from three. That was

565
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: a thirty five footer. You start to look at the shot,

566
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 2: what are they doing? It looks like he's settling just

567
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: for a pull up three. But he's felt so confident.

568
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: He was so confident this whole game. Even though again

569
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: he didn't splash a three, only five made shots. He

570
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 2: was just leading his team and what they should do.

571
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 2: On the other side, I mentioned Jordan Goodwin did a

572
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 2: a good job on Shay who had a quiet game.

573
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks did they all took turns. It was Brooks,

574
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: it was Royce O'Neill. Uh, it was the big guys

575
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: helped out in don igu Daro. There was an Isaiah

576
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: Livers in there for a bit.

577
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: Use are the big guys big really?

578
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, they're they're They're fairly small. Those those couple guys. Uh,

579
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: they had a couple of guards missing, and Grayson Allen

580
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: and Jalen Green, who's still out. I wonder do they

581
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: trade Grayson I wonder. I wonder if they do trade

582
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: him before the trade downline. They got a lot of guards.

583
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: They got to re sign Colin Gillaspie. I guess they

584
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 2: want to keep Jordan Goodwin around. I imagine they do. Maybe,

585
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know that Grayson Allen is

586
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: a good player, and you want to just keep guys

587
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: who are good. But you know, maybe some again, if

588
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: if there aren't a lot of guards available in the

589
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: trade market, maybe Grayson Allen will get you something. Yeah,

590
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not sure. What Matti shb is

591
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: thinking over there. Maybe he's thinking, I got money, no problem,

592
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: keep paying Grayson Allen. But Jamii Bouye is playing as

593
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: a two way player. It'll be cheap, I imagine. But yeah,

594
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 2: I just wonder, I wonder going into it. But these

595
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: guys playing above their freakinheads, playing so hard you could

596
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: have easily folded against okay see, but they fought.

597
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: So It's now twenty one and fourteen TK and that

598
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: was good because the minnesot timberl was picked up two

599
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: wins this weekend as well, So like staying close or

600
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: somewhat attached to them as they chase down the sixth seed.

601
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: There any thoughts on the Suns.

602
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: This was a fun game to watch.

603
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 5: I couldn't believe Jordan goodwhen was shooting this well with

604
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 5: a mask on his face. Eight threes with a mask

605
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 5: on his face. I wonder how many guys have career

606
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: highs while their vision is obstructed.

607
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 3: But he was still on fire.

608
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: That that broken play at the end where like Booker

609
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 5: just found him for a random mid ranger swished it.

610
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: You know, that's like puff ash shot. That was a grenade.

611
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 3: He handed it to him.

612
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: Because he lost it and then he's like, yeah, you

613
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: shoot it and like to hit that like in the

614
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: mid range.

615
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: He switched it.

616
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like he was just he's on fire.

617
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 5: He's like, I'll throw up anything, dh, it'll go And and

618
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 5: it did. Dylan Brooks, like you mentioned a huge shot.

619
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 5: Then brutal turnover.

620
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: Just a brutal turnover. Baseline, Hey, at least do it

621
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 3: not a balance. That's all I thought about.

622
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna turn it over against Okay, see,

623
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: make sure it goes out of so he can set

624
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: up your back.

625
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 5: Couldn't run it back the other way. That's a great point.

626
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: And it forced Okac into taking a jumper and they

627
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: got cold down the stretch shooting jumpers like Jalen Williams.

628
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 5: I was having a great fourth quarter and then'll until

629
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 5: the last two minutes he couldn't make a shot. Show

630
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 5: goes with Alexander couldn't make a shot. Chet did finally

631
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: get that one from the baseline and a weird miss

632
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: free throw from shake Giljes Alexander.

633
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, late in the.

634
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 5: Fourth quarter here where it looked like maybe Dylan Brooks

635
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: faked him out with a lane violation, like he's leaning

636
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 5: towards the lane, but doesn't step in and shake gets

637
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 5: really mad miss the free throw.

638
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 3: But then you see him.

639
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 5: Saying smart, yeah, smart his teammate Dylan Brooks. I guess

640
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 5: that's what happened. But okay, see now is six and

641
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 5: five in their last eleven games. Is the seventy win

642
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 5: pace done for?

643
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

644
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's job like that, I think so.

645
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we said. It takes like one or

646
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: two weeks and the.

647
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: Things a wrap. Yeah, I think so. Still they're gonna

648
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: win probably mid to high sixties. But seventy, I mean,

649
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: there's no chance any records being set of all time.

650
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 4: That's a wrap.

651
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 5: Plus two twenty on FanDuel right now for seventy or

652
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 5: more regular season wins plus twenty five hundred for seventy

653
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 5: four or more.

654
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: That would be two more losses.

655
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 4: The rest of the sea. I mean, so that's a

656
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: that's no way.

657
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 3: That seems like a no.

658
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: You think seventy would you be betting on the O

659
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,479
Speaker 1: casey to win seventy?

660
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: What are they thirty and six area?

661
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: I like a plus two twenty odds, but it's unlikely.

662
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: It's unlikely. Now you were sitting at yeah, they'd have

663
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 2: to they'd have to roll it.

664
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they'd have to.

665
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: Rip off another like eighteen game win streak or something

666
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: like that for us to sort of like crank this

667
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: back up.

668
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 4: I think at this point that talk of seventy and.

669
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, it's like they're playing really good teams here,

670
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: and like the records more representative of these really really

671
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: good teams. Everybody obviously wants to give them their best

672
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: shot too, and they come to town or they go there.

673
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 5: So no, I don't think the Warriors had their sixth

674
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: loss until March. I think is the stat I saw

675
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 5: going around in the sixteen season. They'd have to go

676
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: forty and six the rest of the way. It doesn't

677
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 5: sound impossible, but it makes those games in the last

678
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 5: week of the season, and that aren't going to mean

679
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 5: anything for okay, see, it means they would have to

680
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 5: go all out for that, So it seems unlikely. I

681
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 5: guess at this point that they would win seventy or

682
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 5: more games. And as a noticer, I noticed twelve to

683
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: two on the offensive glass for the Suns and this

684
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 5: one I think in their loss against the timber Wolves,

685
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 5: the thunder were out rebounded on the offensive class like

686
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 5: eighteen to twelve if memory serves correctly, the Spurs beat

687
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 5: him on the offensive glass.

688
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 3: That's the key.

689
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 5: You gotta get as many possessions as you possibly can

690
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 5: against the thunder and then make threes as well.

691
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Suns keep fighting. Again. They could have

692
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: just they could have faded in this game, so they

693
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: had plenty of offensive rebounds. You know, Isaiah Hartenstein's not

694
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: in the game, out with injuries, so that would play

695
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: it apart and what we thought of okay, see's chance

696
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: of winning seventy games. We thought the guys deep in

697
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: the rotation would play and play well. And Brandon Carlson,

698
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: the guy who's preventing supposed to be preventing those offense

699
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: reoun its not a good game, no points, step it up, man. Yeah,

700
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: he only played seven minutes, but either way. Yeah, the

701
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: fight level of the Suns is just is really fun.

702
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 2: And yes, okay, so he gets the best effort from teams.

703
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: There's no doubt that's that's what's happening.

704
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: You should what are the champs?

705
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 6: Yeah?

706
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh, the Sons are one of the best

707
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: stories of the NBA, right like it was. It was

708
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: cute for a couple of weeks whoa less talent but

709
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: got some moxie to them. Obviously, Dylan Brooks has come

710
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: in here and they're playing with an edge. But you're like,

711
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: how long will this last? This is now, we're getting

712
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: near half the season here, and they are one of

713
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: the good teams in a loaded Western conference. And if

714
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: you watch them night tonight, yeah, they they fight hard

715
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: as hell. I mean, Dylan Brooks is it's just unreal

716
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: how much he's changed the attitude of this team, the

717
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: new coach and all this. So, yeah, they're they're for

718
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: real and they're a fun watch. Twenty one and fourteen,

719
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: I think.

720
00:30:59,040 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: What about you?

721
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: TK your fine winner?

722
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid winner of the weekend, got his first dunk

723
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: of the season. Yeah, man, yeah, twenty five seconds left

724
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 5: in this game. Sixers had been handling the Knicks pretty

725
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 5: easily throughout the knicker in desperation mode press and the

726
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 5: Sixers break the press. Embad Is wide open underneath the

727
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 5: hoop for a gentle dunk, and he celebrated it. He

728
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 5: won an NBA Championship. Postgame, Tim Bontemps talked to Nick Nurse,

729
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: got a quote from him, and he said, you saw

730
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 5: Joel wanted to get a dunk. It was a pretty

731
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: cheap way of getting it, I think, but at least

732
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 5: we know he can still dunk and he can check.

733
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: That off his list.

734
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 5: Great response from Nick Nurse, because this dude has been

735
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 5: trying to get a dunk. He threw the ball off

736
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 5: the glass to himself trying to get a dunk. There's

737
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 5: a drive the VJ. Edgecump has late in this fourth

738
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 5: quarter where you can see Embiid like gearing up for

739
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 5: an alley oop and Edgecumb like face the pass and

740
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 5: that goes in for the layup. He was desperate to

741
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 5: get a dunk, so we finally did, and I mean

742
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 5: it was not an impressive dunk unless it's your first

743
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 5: dunk of the season. But twenty six for Embiid. He

744
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 5: scored twenty or more in eight straight games. He hit

745
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 5: a low key cross chop in the first quarter of

746
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 5: this one, got an and one on Mitchell Robinson. I

747
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: don't know if his hands even rose above his belt.

748
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: He was I getting fine for that. He had a

749
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 5: big time and one in the fourth quarter on Mitchell

750
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 5: Robinson again, like on a pump fake, he kind of

751
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 5: stepped through, got nailed and he like went and they

752
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 5: just hundred. He's like, I'm not giving away any more

753
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 5: of my money on these cross chops.

754
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: But this is sixty man.

755
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: This was a great game for Embiid though. He looked

756
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: really comfortable. He looked like he was in the flow

757
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 5: of the offense.

758
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 3: He had a great screening game. Wow, eight screen assists

759
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: for going on. This guy was just blocking them out there.

760
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 5: Five real assists as well for an EMBIID. He was

761
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 5: like playing in the pick and roll. So sometimes it

762
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 5: was a screen and roll and Maxi, your edgecumb could

763
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 5: get to the hoop. Sometimes it was release valve mode

764
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 5: and he was finding guys underneath with these little drop

765
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 5: off screen stuff from him. Ten boards as well. One

766
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: of the best games he's played so far this season.

767
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 5: Maxi had thirty six. This is just like a regular

768
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 5: thing for him at this point. The better and better

769
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 5: Embiid looks on the court, the easier things get for Maxie,

770
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 5: and he's already making it look easy out there. Edgecombe

771
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 5: was special. Twenty six points for him, just like Embiid.

772
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 5: He was hitting threes, he was snarling. He had that

773
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 5: awesome sequence. I think it was in the fourth quarter

774
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 5: where he blocks the McHale Bridges corner, three, gets the

775
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 5: ball back on the fast break, takes it the other

776
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 5: way for a dunk.

777
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: The speed that the Sixers.

778
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 5: Played with in their back court looked like a real problem,

779
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 5: I thought for the Knicks. We know Brunson ain't a

780
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 5: quick guy. He's gonna have trouble staying with Maxie. But

781
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 5: Edgecombe looked like he was quicker than Michale Bridges as well,

782
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 5: which kind of caught me by surprise.

783
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: I thought.

784
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 5: Paul George was also pretty nice in this one. Fifteen points,

785
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 5: eight boards, six assists, three threes. He's like doing the

786
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 5: little things for the seventy six ers. Right now, He's

787
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 5: up to a whopping two dunks on the season.

788
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: Wow, So that's pretty nice for him. One right now

789
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: is the race two to one George toombid dunks.

790
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 5: Who will have more dunks at the end of the season,

791
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 5: Paul George or Jowell Embiid Embiid.

792
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: I think, so I do. I do too. It's gonna

793
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: start rolling them.

794
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 5: You're gonna put up like one or two at this point,

795
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 5: I would have to imagine. But a great win for

796
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 5: the seventy six ers. They're two and them against the

797
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 5: Knicks this season.

798
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 3: In Madison Square. Go both of them in the MSG.

799
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 5: They played that great first round series in the twenty

800
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 5: twenty four playoffs where Maxie went crazy at the end

801
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 5: of regulation hit at thirty five foot or to send

802
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 5: it to overtime.

803
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: I like the Sixers.

804
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 5: I like watching them like and they're looking better and

805
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 5: better and more cohesive together because I thought at the

806
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 5: beginning of the year it was like when Maxi and

807
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: edgecomb are out there, they're a fast guy team, they're

808
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 5: a young team, and then Embiid and George get out

809
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 5: there slow things down. But they do seem to be

810
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 5: blending a lot better at this point.

811
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I did think it was a disappointing game for

812
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: Kat up against Joel Embiid just in general. And that's

813
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: why New York's got to win tonight in our pick

814
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: them game that we're selecting a little bit later today.

815
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 2: They got to They've lost three games in a row.

816
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: They don't look great, they didn't look as athletic. You're

817
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: totally right about that.

818
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 4: They miss Josh hart Man.

819
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.

820
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he definitely is. There's no doubt about that.

821
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 4: And mckail bridge is playing poorly right now too.

822
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, bad time here, I think for him to play

823
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: a below average.

824
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so them against the Pistons tonight should be absolutely

825
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 2: fine one versus two with the Knicks coming off three losses.

826
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: Although it is great to see Joel e Andbid just smiling.

827
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: You know, this is a new Joel Embiid literally was

828
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 2: bringing the ball up the floor once where he got

829
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 2: Mitchell Robinson with that pump fake. He brought it all

830
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 2: the way up the floor, got him with the pump

831
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: fake Mitchie bit and then a big smile from Joel Andbid.

832
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: You don't see that very often, and they've played it

833
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: extremely well here with the slow play to start the

834
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: season coming, you know, coming through playing one game of

835
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: a back to back and it's picking up. Will Joel

836
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: Embiid go down? It is possible. But Kawhi Leonard last

837
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: year and what he did, he didn't play in the

838
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: first couple months of the season, only played after the

839
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: calendar turned and he was his best Kawhi Leonard towards

840
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: the postseason. They didn't last very long, but you know

841
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 2: he picked it up. So maybe we're watching the same

842
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 2: thing here with Joel Embiid. He looks freaking good.

843
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: Obviously, it must be nice for Jowell Embiid now at

844
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: least to enter into a game going, oh, I don't

845
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: have to do everything like it's not going to be

846
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: really on my ass whether we win or lose because

847
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: it's Maxi's team vj Edgecombe Man. This guy will be

848
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: in the Rookie of the Year race as well if

849
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: he continues this play along with Cooper and Canipple and

850
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: then you still got Paul Georgie, you got other pieces.

851
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, that's gotta feel very different,

852
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: probably in a good way. Maybe that's ways smiling. It's

853
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: a little more fun here for Joel Embiid to try

854
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: and get going, trying to ramp up here physically and

855
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: obviously continued good play. But it's not all on his

856
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: shoulders like when you watch them. Just like Maxie Man,

857
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: that guy loves playing in Madison Square guard against the Knicks.

858
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: Crap. He's good, all right.

859
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: Final winner of the weekend here, just a quick one.

860
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: Dell and Steph Curry have now played more games than

861
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: any other father son duo in NBA history. They set

862
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: the record when Steph played on Saturday night in a

863
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: went over the Jazz. It took Draymond Green getting ejected

864
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: from the game for Golden State to turn it on

865
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: and get the win. And Steph did Steph things. But

866
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: that was his two thousandth one hundred and thirty fifth

867
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: game together when Steph played. So that's him and Dell

868
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: and they passed Hall of Famer Dulph Shayes and his

869
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: son Danny, who had totaled two thousand thirty four. This

870
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: surprised me. Though del Curry still has played more games

871
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: than Steph Curry.

872
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 3: That just shocked me.

873
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: Dell played one eight hundred, excuse me, one thousand and

874
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: eighty three games played for del Curry, Steph one thousand

875
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: and fifty two games played. Now, Steph did miss an

876
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: entire season, basically an entire season in twenty nineteen twenty

877
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: when he played like five games with the injury. But yeah,

878
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: it still shocked me. So good on ya Del Curry

879
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: and Steph Curry. And then you throw when Seth Curry

880
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: and this guy what he played over five hundred games

881
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: good three point shooter, it's a whole lot of three

882
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: pointers made. Apparently Seth Curry is like fifty three three

883
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: pointers short of one thousand threes. Seth Curry, Seth Curry. Okay,

884
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: so if he gets there, which.

885
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 4: He probably will some point, maybe.

886
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: That would be all three of them over a thousand

887
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: three pointers made that Steph's obviously he's flirting.

888
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 4: We'll be flirting with five thousand.

889
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 2: But still lots of surprises there, Dolphin Danny didn't see

890
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 2: that one.

891
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Danny played a long time. I randomly

892
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 5: found that out doing a Danny short research had a

893
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 5: long career.

894
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me ask you this question. You guys

895
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: like sports, right, other sports?

896
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: I do like other sports.

897
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking, are the Currys as a family,

898
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: are they more like the Alomars in baseball or the

899
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: Mannings in football? Let me explain, Okay, Baseball, Sandy senior

900
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: was a solid player, Sandy Alamar Senior solid player. But

901
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: then his son's Roberto Alamar. Obviously you know him well

902
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: for the Jays Hall of Famer. And then Sandy junior

903
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: Alamar all star catcher like he was good, not Roberto

904
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: Alamar level. And then Archie Manning, two time Pro Bowl

905
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: winner over a very long career, didn't win a ton

906
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: of games because he's on.

907
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 4: Sort of a shitty team.

908
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: Two times Pro Bowl. Yeah, yeah, pro bowler.

909
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 4: I should have said yeah.

910
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: Time I'm saying that because that's sort of to me,

911
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: I guess, more of a comparable to a Dell Curry

912
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: like career, though even probably better. But anyway, Peyton Manning,

913
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: first ballot, Hall of Famer, he's the stuff of this conversation.

914
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: But then Eli Manning, I mean he's better. He's better than.

915
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: Seth Curry because you know he's going to make the

916
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and he won two Super Bowls.

917
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's the Alamars. Actually all comes down

918
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 3: to me. I just don't know how good Sandy was.

919
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 7: I don't think it was incredible, but one time All

920
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 7: Star though it was solid as well. Sandy Senior was

921
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 7: Sandy Senior. So did Dell Curry make an All Star

922
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 7: Game or no?

923
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: Nobody did win a sixth man? Okay, so that's not

924
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 3: bad that. I think it's the elder bars. I think

925
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 3: that's absolutely right.

926
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: And I don't know Sandy Junior is better than sex

927
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: I know, but it's perfect.

928
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 3: I think better.

929
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: It's not. I don't remember much of it Sandy's game.

930
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 4: Is there anyone else.

931
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 5: What about the Matthews in football, all the linemen LUs

932
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 5: and Clay and Jake.

933
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, blind spot for me, defensive football players, Like I know.

934
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: The only other one I could think of was like,

935
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think Brett Hull had a brother. Okay,

936
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: Bobby Hall, good player, that's the dad Brett Hall, the

937
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: golden boy himself. That would be the Steph Curry of

938
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 1: it all. But I think Bobby Hall had the brother.

939
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: I think that was Dennis Hall. So like it was

940
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: the older generation where the brothers.

941
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: Whow, you're exactly right. So it doesn't work.

942
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: Throw it out, man, Brett doesn't win. He didn't want

943
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: to be Canadian. He doesn't win.

944
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 4: Sorry, damn, you're right. He was born in Canada.

945
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 5: Wasn't it.

946
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah he was.

947
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

948
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: Wow, I forgot about Dennis Hall. Now I do, now

949
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: I remember him. It's a good nickname. That's a good

950
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: last name, I should.

951
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 3: Say, even Brett Hall. I score a lot of goals.

952
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: All right, that's our NBA weekend winners. We'll do losers

953
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: in a second. First to break here from a sponsor.

954
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: Best day of the week in January. It's definitely Friday,

955
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 2: Every Friday from six to seven thirty. It's NBA Happy

956
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: Hour on FanDuel, your pregame for the weekend. Yes, somebody

00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: wants to work all week in January, want to get

Speaker 2: to the weekend.

959
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 8: But there's just not a lot to look forward to.

960
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: In January except for Happy Hour on FanDuel. We're talking

Speaker 2: Official sportsbook partner of the NBA.

968
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, we've done winners. Let's do a batch of NBA

969
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: Weekend losers and I'll get it started. Because I don't

970
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 1: think there was a bigger loser of the NBA Weekend

971
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: than Magic Guard Jaalen Suggs. To quote or paraphrase Bill Simmons,

972
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: he truly hit the poop fecta on Friday night. Jalen

973
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: Suggs did because it started with a little slap on

974
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: the wrist, or should I say a little slap on

975
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: the neck because we learned that the NBA had told

976
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: Suggs you must wear your headband on your head at

977
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of games. You cannot start with it around

978
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: your neck like a choker. And I hate to say

979
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: I told you so, but I did call this one.

980
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: I was worried about this, and we talked about this

981
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago. We're like, wow, that's funny Jill and Suggs

982
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: starting games with the headband around his neck. I was like,

983
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: you watch, he's gonna tell him cut the shit out.

984
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: You can't do this.

985
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 2: But he did change while he was starting games with it. Yeah,

986
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 2: at some point I saw it.

987
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: I know, I know.

988
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: So that sucked. Yep, Okay.

989
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: Then his night got much worse because he made a

990
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: bad business decision in the second quarter versus the Bulls.

991
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: Suggs decided to jump with Bulls high flyer mates Buzzellis

992
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: on the fast break, and he got absolutely posterized. Oh

993
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: that's right, Stacy King, uh instant nominee for Dunk of

994
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: the Year. And that's not just because twenty twenty six

995
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: was a few days old, I think even Dunk of

996
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: the season.

997
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: So that was bad.

998
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 4: But look, you get dumped on.

999
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: Its challenged it exactly to add insult to injury or

1000
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, to add injury to a poster assault.

1001
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 4: I guess.

1002
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: Suggs ended up suffering a Grade one MCL contusion in

1003
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: his right knee during that game, during the loss to

1004
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: the Bulls. The injury occurred late in the third quarter.

1005
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: And this was just a second game back, by the way,

1006
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: so he'd just come back from injury. He had a

1007
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: really tough landing after getting fouled when he drove to

1008
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: the basket jal And Smith.

1009
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 3: Basically he like landed on him. Didn't look good.

1010
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: Suggs looked so frustrated, like so pissed off when he

1011
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: was shot his free throws before he left the game,

1012
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: you could just tell on his face.

1013
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 4: Like, oh my god.

1014
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see when he returns to action. It's going

1015
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: to be dependent on how he responds to treatment. This

1016
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: guy struggled with injuries his entire NBA career, so this

1017
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: is nothing new. But Suggs man guy got told to

1018
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: stop wearing the cool choker headband. He got his ass

1019
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: dunked on, They got hurt, and now he's out here.

1020
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 1: The only positive news is the magic did bounce back

1021
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but they played the Pacers. So there are

1022
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: three guys. Paolo, Desmond, Baying and Anthony Black scored.

1023
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 3: A ton of points.

1024
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: It's a headband. Put it on your head. It's not

1025
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 2: a neck band. Just put it up. And he does

1026
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: wear a pregame apparently. I saw this quote he said

1027
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: it really originates as football drip because he played high

1028
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: school football and basketball and that's where he had it.

1029
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: There's definitely photos of Dion Sanders, one of my favorite athletes,

1030
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: all wearing it around his neck. Now you're wearing a

1031
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: head you're wearing a helmet in football too.

1032
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1033
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 5: Different you're going to show off the drip. There's nowhere

1034
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 5: else to do it but the neck.

1035
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 2: That's the problem with football, the.

1036
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 5: Number one problem. We only see their next. You don't

1037
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 5: consider the neck of part of the head.

1038
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: I know as a matter of fact that I do.

1039
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: It's not part of the head.

1040
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 3: That's its own thing.

1041
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: Corso porsg. Although they're calling it a right knee grade

1042
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: one MCL contusion, so a contusion on a ligament. I

1043
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: don't know how long that lasts. It's indefinite, is the term.

1044
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: But you know, a consion, a bruise to a ligament.

1045
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: Maybe it's fine, maybe it's not.

1046
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: I guess it was funny because he actually earlier in

1047
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,959
Speaker 1: the third quarter I was watching this one. He got

1048
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: he banged into Boozellis again of all guys early in

1049
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: the corner, like sort of going for a rebound or

1050
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: a loose ball in the lane, and he came up

1051
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: like he sort of came up limp and he's like,

1052
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,919
Speaker 1: oh crap. But he fought through it. He stayed out there,

1053
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: he did his normal shift. Then he came back, like

1054
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: I said, in the third quarter, and then this is

1055
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: when he actually seemed to really get hurt or even

1056
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: injured even more, I guess with Jones Smith falling on

1057
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: him or as he went and planted in the lane.

1058
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: So look, he's important to the team. I mean, they're

1059
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: a better team when he plays, compared him to Josh

1060
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: Hart with the Knicks. He's that type of guy. So

1061
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: this is a good news for the Magic, but they

1062
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: did get the win on Sunday.

1063
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1064
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 5: I think he's plus eleven points per one hundred possessions

1065
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 5: when he's on the court, and then offense doesn't look

1066
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 5: quite as good. When he's off the court as well.

1067
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 5: Luckily for the Magic, Anthony Black's been playing pretty solid

1068
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 5: this season, seeing some decent flashes from Jace Richardson. So

1069
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 5: as long as it's a short stint for Suggs, maybe

1070
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 5: the Magic can survive it. They're pretty good at surviving

1071
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 5: injuries based on the past couple of seasons. But it

1072
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 5: does feel like this is going to become a feature,

1073
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 5: not a bug with Jalen Suggs, just because of the

1074
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 5: way he plays. You know, he plays a high impact

1075
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 5: style and he's running all over the you can tell

1076
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 5: you played football absolutely right. It would be hard to

1077
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 5: tackle if he was the quarterback. But first thing I

1078
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 5: did when I saw the Buzillis dunk next morning had

1079
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 5: to check the dunk score. Yes, number six of the Sea,

1080
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 5: number six this season.

1081
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, interesting, I'm drawing a blank on ones that

1082
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: are even bigger.

1083
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 4: I mean it was huge.

1084
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: It was big time.

1085
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: Uh let me let me know, a big season, but

1086
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: it wasn't really.

1087
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 5: Champagne is the best one sharp as number two, okay, Yeah,

1088
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 5: Jalen Smith had a monster one.

1089
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:55,560

00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 5: I saw that one with my own Wow at the

1092
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 5: day that was right on top of Joel beans.

1093
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: You didn't stand up and yell to the crowd, Oh

00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 3: what don't score? Everyone guaranteed?

1095
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 5: I yeah, it was big time. But uh, what does

1096
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 5: the dunk.

1097
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 3: Score go up to?

1098
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 4: I thought?

1099
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 5: I think yeah, I think so they changed Justin Champagne's

00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 5: got a one twenty seven and Shadan Sharp's got a

1101
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 5: one twenty point eight.

1102
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: I'm wrong.

1103
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 5: Were they updated it? I thought it was out of

1104
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 5: one twenty last year. But yeah, great call from Stacy King.

1105
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,000

1106
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 5: of the dunk and the replays. How do you post

1107

1134
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: those desks. There's there's a problem with their platform.

1135
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,960

Speaker 3: That means, but I like it a lot.

1146
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: John Schuman is the highest desk store at NBA dot com.

1147
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 3: Oh no, he's got a one twenty point eight. You

00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 3: thought it went out one fifteen, but no, it goes high.

1149
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me check Sean Powell here. Let me

1150
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: see we might have a good one.

1151
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 2: Ah desk. Yeah good? However, right, uh hit me up

1152
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: shoe you know, or or Powell. What was Cody Williams

1153
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 2: dunk score this weekend? Guse that was good on q

1154
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: P on quintin post.

1155
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 5: Oh, speaking of dunk scores, since we are talking about

1156
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 5: it right now and beads dunk score.

1157
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 4: It's got to be the lowest.

1158
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: It is very low.

1159
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,479
Speaker 5: It was like a nineteen point nine whoa and also

1160
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 5: dunk related and Steph Curry related. He saw the Jazz game,

1161
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 5: he had a breakaway, went up for a dunk, he

1162
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 5: touched the rim and the shot went in.

1163
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 3: And he celebrated like, oh, it was almost a dunk.

1164
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a dunk yet this season. They didn't

1165
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: count it as a dunk.

1166
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 4: They didn't, which.

1167
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 3: Is good, right because I can do that, and I

1168
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 3: also don't think I can dump.

1169
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Okay, Okay, that'd be a fun short put

1170
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: together the worst dunk scores of the season.

1171
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 3: Well as dunk because we always see the highest dunk scores,

1172
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 3: but let's.

1173
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 5: See the worst of the worst. Yeah, that's ours. Nobody

1174
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 5: else can take. You can't take that, that's ours. We

1175
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 5: called it all right, tas who's your big loser the weekend?

1176
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 2: Well it's the Clippers. They gave up one hundred and

1177
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 2: forty six points to Boston open three after open three.

1178
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 2: And that's the thing with this team. I thought they

1179
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: were playing better perimeter defense, and Boston hit twenty four

1180
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: to threes in this game. Now they are a good

1181
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: three point shooting team. They can line those babies up.

1182
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 2: So maybe it was just a bad night. But then

1183
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 2: you add on that Derek Jones Junior is now injured

1184
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 2: for six weeks at least when he'll be reevaluated for

1185
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: a MCL sprain. And he was out there in the

1186
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 2: Celtics game guarding people really well, guarding Jalen Brown when

1187
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 2: he had to be out there. Even though he's coming

1188
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 2: off the bench, he was out there. I do think

1189
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 2: for the Clippers he is a bit of an energy

1190
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 2: spark off the bench. He'll guard. Anybody saw him guarding

1191
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 2: Jayalen Brown. Jaylen Brown didn't get called for a travel

1192
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 2: and he picked up that pivot foot when doing that,

1193
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 2: a little step through three thing. Anyway, I think Derrek

1194
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 2: Jones Junior is important to this team, just guarding the

1195
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 2: perimeter guys. He left early in the fourth. He had

1196
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 2: nineteen points just twenty four minutes played in this game.

1197
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: So he's out after coming back from a similar right

1198
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 2: knee injury. I think it was the exact same thing

1199
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 2: that he suffered against Boston and this one, Peyton Pritrick

1200
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 2: kind of dove for a ball and got him out.

1201
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: So now he's out. Now you can say the Clippers

1202
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 2: were rolling and all that, and that's true, and Derrek

1203
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: Jones Junior doesn't start. It's Chris Dunn and John Collins

1204
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 2: along with Brooke Lopez along with their big two in

1205
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: their starting lineup. But I think he is important. You

1206
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: can point out other things for why the Clippers are

1207
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 2: losers of the weekend. I saw Chris Paul dunk. You

1208
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 2: see that clip going around Chris oh oh in a gym. Yeah,

1209
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 2: I don't know who's who. It was a bounce pass.

1210
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: So Chris Paul didn't do it have to do anything

1211
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: except run up and catching dunk. You look good doing it.

1212
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 2: I think it was a bounce pass from Kenny Smith.

1213
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't see who it was anyway. I don't know, man,

1214
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm confused. I don't know if algorithm, but somebody bounced

1215
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 2: it to him. Who is that? Is that Mike Woodson?

1216
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 2: Is that Kenny Smith? I couldn't tell. It was difficult

1217
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 2: to tell. But like they had zoo bots back and

1218
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 2: it was a bad loss, and maybe it's just one

1219
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 2: bad loss. But I do think Derek Jones Jr. Is

1220
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: an important dude on that team because again, reguard to anybody,

1221
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: and if you need athleticism, oh yeah, that guy will

1222
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:50,919
Speaker 2: come in.

1223
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

1224
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 2: But now he's out for a long period of time

1225
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 2: here for an older basketball team.

1226
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: The Clips did win six in a row before that

1227
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: loss to the Celtics, and this week they had a

1228
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: lot of games. They play the Warriors tonight, they're at

1229
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: home still for that one as they finish up their

1230
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: home stand, and then they have a three game road

1231
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: trip to the East Coast, play the Knicks, play the

1232
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: Nets obviously scrappy bunch right now, and then they play

1233
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: the Pistons, So two of the top teams in the

1234
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: East and the and the solid nets, especially on the

1235
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. So we'll see here if

1236
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: the Clips were for real. Get back on the in

1237
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: the winning ways, because they still have a lot of grounds.

1238
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 4: Still to make up here. Get back back in the conversation.

1239
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 4: But that sucks about Derrek Jones Jr.

1240
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it tasses right.

1241
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 5: They need his athleticism, him and Kawhi together on the court.

1242
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 3: The Clippers are a positive this year.

1243
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 5: And that's not the case for a whole bunch of

1244
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 5: their lineups, but just the variety of players that him

1245
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 5: and Kawhi together can guard gives them a chance on

1246
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 5: defense because I thought Zu bats look pretty slow in

1247
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 5: this year. He was getting beat off the dribble on

1248
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 5: these switches or you know, him trying to hedge in

1249
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 5: this kind of stuff. They need any sort of resistance

1250
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 5: out there. And then basically for the Clippers, like they

1251
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 5: can't just be off fall off immediately again. They had

1252
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 5: that seven game win streak, but that was right after

1253
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 5: a five game win streak. They had another I think

1254
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 5: maybe six game losing streak earlier in the season. They've

1255
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 5: just been so inconsistent. It felt like they were putting

1256
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 5: it together. Kawhi finally had a down game and they

1257
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 5: took the l So I don't know. I think they

1258
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 5: still have a chance to make a run at the

1259
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 5: play in tournament, but health would be helpful.

1260
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: Ye let's wrap it up here, TK, your loser of

1261
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: the weekend.

1262
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 5: One of the reasons the Clippers are going to have

1263
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 5: a chance to make the play in tournament is because

1264
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 5: the Memphis Grizzlies are struggling.

1265
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 3: They're my loser of the weekend.

1266
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 5: They lost to the Lakers Friday and Sunday, and it

1267
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 5: was almost the exact same way in both of these games,

1268
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 5: close early in the fourth quarter and the Lakers pull

1269
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 5: it out in the clutch.

1270
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 3: Shouldn't be a surprise.

1271
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 5: Lakers are now twelve to zero in clutch games this season. Meanwhile,

1272
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 5: Memphis is eight and thirteen. Is their fourth straight loss.

1273
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 5: For the Grizzlies, all of those have been clutch games,

1274
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 5: and when you watch them, just nothing comes easy on offense.

1275
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 5: I think that's more so the problem than the defensive

1276
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 5: end of things. It was Luca and Lebron killing the

1277
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 5: Grizzlies in the fourth quarter of both of these games.

1278
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 5: But on the offensive end for Memphis, it feels like

1279
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,479
Speaker 5: on Friday, I guess Jaw was playing. It was either

1280
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 5: him taking a tough shot or a jumper, which you

1281
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 5: don't love to see, or Jared Jackson Junior trying to

1282
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 5: play bullyball. But as Kirk Goldsberry recently pointed out, he's

1283
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 5: shooting like fifty on layups Jared Jackson Junior. Everyone seems

1284
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 5: like there's somebody contesting it, or he's having to go

1285
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 5: through a body or a double team. Just not a

1286
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 5: lot of clean looks for him, and he's struggling to

1287
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 5: finish over the top.

1288
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 3: He's not like a super athlete.

1289
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 5: He's more of a strong guy than a quick guy

1290
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 5: or a vertical athlete or anything like that. Also, sixty

1291
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 5: four minutes this season this weekend for Jared Jackson junior.

1292
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 5: How many rebounds.

1293
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 4: Combine in the two games?

1294
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 3: Two games?

1295
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: Seventh?

1296
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 3: Four?

1297
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 5: Come on, bro, those are their two best players. John

1298
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 5: didn't play on Sunday. Everybody else is. You're happy with

1299
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 5: them having the ball in their hands, So I don't

1300
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 5: know it's bad stuff for the Grizzlies. They're two to

1301
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 5: seventeen this season against five hundred teams. I do think

1302
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 5: the noise has definitely died down around John Morant, like

1303
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 5: he's been in and out of the lineup, came back,

1304
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 5: like I said, now he's out once again, but the

1305
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 5: play hasn't improved.

1306
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 3: They're six and twelve with Jaw playing.

1307
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 5: Nine to eight when he's six minus nine points per

1308
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 5: one hundred possessions on the court. They're barely positive when

1309
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 5: he's off the court. So I don't know that there's

1310
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 5: gonna be suitors for Rant, but he definitely hasn't been

1311
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 5: helping this team win. I think Jaron Jackson Junior seems

1312
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 5: checked out. I've mentioned it a few times. Cedric Coward

1313
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 5: went out with a sprained ankle. Maybe it won't be

1314
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 5: a long absence for him, but this has been just

1315
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 5: a disappointing season for Memphis. They had Jaw coming back,

1316
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 5: they had Jaron Jackson Junior. We knew their team was

1317
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 5: going to be different with the KCP trade for Desmond Bane,

1318
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 5: but they shouldn't be this bad and they shouldn't be

1319
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 5: this uninspired looking.

1320
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: Interesting staff here from Hollinger that I couldn't believe before

1321
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: that Lakers game on Sunday, John Morant's absence tonight, and

1322
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: it's his latest consecutive games streak at four. John Moran

1323
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: has not played more than six in a row since

1324
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: February and March of twenty twenty three.

1325
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe that that's like two weeks.

1326
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, six games.

1327
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: Yes, he's never a very long time, has not strung

1328
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: together that many games for a number of a myriad

1329
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: of reasons.

1330
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 2: So yes, that was wild to me. Yeah, the suitors

1331
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: for John Moran, it's a very interesting thing. I would

1332
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 2: love to be on these calls to hear what is

1333
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: being offered for joam Ran. He literally those stats are good. Literally,

1334
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 2: I just think of him as a guy who's playing

1335
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 2: half the season. I mean, he's played eighteen games of

1336
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: what I think the excuse me, the Grizzlies I've played

1337
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 2: thirty five if I'm correct here, So oh they played

1338
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 2: thirty four. So he's super close. That's who they are,

1339
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 2: and that's who he is. So do teams want him?

1340
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 2: And as soon as this John marine Morant noways happened,

1341
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: I wondered, will Jared Jackson Junior be extremely happy playing.

1342
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 3: Team going forward?

1343
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 2: So what's going to happen with Triple J in this team?

1344
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 2: It's such an interesting thing going on because you know,

1345
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 2: you look every single season, fifty games played last year

1346
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 2: for John rant nine, the year before that, sixty one

1347
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: year before that, fifty seventy year before that, sixty three,

1348
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: and sixty seven at the beginning of his career. Will

1349
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 2: he play more? It's a very good question. I have

1350
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 2: no idea and Triple J as you said, the boards

1351
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 2: were low. DeAndre Ayton I thought played a far better

1352
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 2: game in Game number two after getting sat in the

1353
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: fourth quarter of Game one. He played harder. And the

1354
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 2: Lakers have an easier schedule here in January, so they've

1355
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: moved up to the third seed.

1356
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 8: They could go all the way up to the second seed.

1357
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 8: When it's All Star weekend. We're talking about teams that

1358
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 8: Lakers team literally could be the second seed because they

1359
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 8: play a league low four January games against teams that

1360
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 8: enter the month with winning records, and they're thirteen to

1361
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 8: three against the fourteen teams below five hundred, so it's

1362
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 8: kind of an easy month, and they take care of

1363
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 8: the business against those under five hundred teams. As I said,

1364
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 8: JJ Writa gets them ready for those sub five hundred teams.

1365
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 8: Then they play hard and so that's why they could

1366
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 8: be the second seed. Shout out to my man John

1367
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 8: Schumann for that. That's that that they play against poopy

1368
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 8: teams and they're good at that.

1369
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: And Reddick said that game plan in that second game

1370
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: was to get eaten more touches, yep, and to hope

1371
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: it would pay off as the game went on, and

1372
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: it did because this was a good eating game. And

1373
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: then he had a great quote after the game. DeAndre

1374
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Ayton said, quote.

1375
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 3: Biggs can't feed themselves.

1376
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: I just try my best to do what I can

1377
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: to bring the effort, and I trust my playmakers out

1378
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: there to find the end.

1379
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 4: Quote.

1380
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 3: I love that.

1381
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 2: Yep.

1382
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, you gotta give me the ball, man,

1383
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 3: it ain't my fault. Give me some touches and I'll

1384
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 3: play a little harder.

1385
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: Anyone that's played basketball knows that's somewhat true. With your

1386
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: big guys, man, you got to keep them happy.

1387
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 3: Keep them interested in right.

1388
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 5: And I do think the Lakers were kind of coming

1389
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 5: into this series with the Grizzly sputtering a little bit,

1390
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 5: and there was a lot of talk about does Lebron

1391
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 5: like playing with Luca. There was the eating thing hanging

1392
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 5: over things they need to make, starting lineup changes, should

1393
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 5: they trade Reeves, who's out with injury right now. So

1394
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 5: they were sort of similar to the Grizzlies to me,

1395
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 5: even though the Lakers are having a better season, and

1396
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 5: you could just tell which team was a little bit

1397
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 5: more connected, had a little bit more desire for things

1398
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 5: weird stuff though. For the Lakers, they've given up the

1399
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 5: exact same amount of points as they've scored this season.

1400
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 5: They have a zero margin victory and their third in

1401
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 5: the Western Conference. Because they've got Luca and Lebron in

1402
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 5: the clutch, or Luca and Reeves in the clutch, that

1403
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 5: makes them a more dangerous playoff team to me when

1404
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 5: you think that, come down the fourth quarter, you got

1405
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 5: to beat those three guys.

1406
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Like the record in the clutch is amazing, but then

1407
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: every loss is like that's why they have this, yeah,

1408
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: like even point differential. We also got an incredible JJ

1409
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,919
Speaker 1: Reddick graphic meme that'll be used a lot.

1410
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 4: I think, did you see it?

1411
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: He's got his head like this doing this and it

1412
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: says the quote is I don't know what else to do.

1413
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: That's how I felt when we're trying to come up

1414
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: with pick them payoffs.

1415
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what else to do, so I'm looking

1416
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: at it right now.

1417
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 4: It's one of my favorites from recent.

1418
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 5: Didn't he also like blame the Lakers lack of offensive

1419
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 5: cohesion on the holidays?

1420
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 3: Yes, he says a lot.

1421
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: He really does. It's going to be on a podcast

1422
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,520

Speaker 1: Skeets, I did enjoy your recent podcast. What the hell

1443
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: was it?

1444
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 3: Begonia.

1445
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I liked it because you guys did a

1446
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: quick like I don't know, it was like twenty five.

1447
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're trying shorter. Yeah, stranger things not short. They're

1448
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 6: gonna be shorter.

1449
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, great, all right, Well, well boy sponsored by

1450
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: not Trey Kirby, but another to shot hot boy. And

1451
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: that's right, it goes to Heat sharpshooter Norman Powell. What

1452
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: a game from Norman Sunday made a career high nine

1453
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: to three pointers in a thirty four point performance as

1454
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the Heat beat the Pelicans on Sunday. Powell shot eleven

1455
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 1: to fifteen from the field, nine to twelve from deep.

1456
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: He added three boards, three assists, two steals. Just this

1457
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: guy's on fire man. He really should be an All

1458
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,959
Speaker 1: Star consideration. He's averaging twenty four and a half points

1459
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 1: per game. He's shooting forty two percent from deep. He's

1460
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: probably gonna go back in the three point contest, won't he?

1461
01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 4: It was there last year. It competed. But he's also

1462
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 4: he almost has to.

1463
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 3: Here's why.

1464
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Haven't the Miami Heat had like five guys win the

1465
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: three point contest? I think they have the most guys. Well,

1466
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Hero won it last year, and I remember us

1467
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: talking about like Glenn Rice has won it, James Jones

1468
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: has won it, Jason Capono has definitely won it, Anddkon Cook.

1469
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 3: So that's five guys. Make it six.

1470
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Norm, go in and win this thing and now, especially

1471
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 1: because you've got a little experience under your belt having

1472
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: competed last year. I don't remember how you did. But

1473
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: he didn't win, I know that, So did he make

1474
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: the final?

1475
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 4: I can't remember.

1476
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember talking to day Kwon Cook when

1477
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 2: he was in his three point contests. There's lots of

1478
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 2: lots of room around him. No disrespect to Daikwon Cook,

1479
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 2: but I wasn't fighting media.

1480
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 5: Like.

1481
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Norm Powell says, listen, I played for Jamaica

1482
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 2: as far as his national team goes, put me in

1483
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 2: the international team. Just get me there. I'll be on

1484
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 2: the three point contest. I'll do it all man. I'll

1485
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 2: have a great weekend. That should be the pr pitch

1486
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 2: for the Miami Heat. Get them there, get them there.

1487
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. Look, the Heat had a couple wins.

1488
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I believe over the weekend and have a decent record.

1489
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: And if anybody is going to be a representative for them.

1490
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be normal. It's got to

1491
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: be Norman Storm and Norman himself, so good weekend, will

1492
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: boy to him? All Right, pick them task you already

1493
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: alluded to the game. It's a big one.

1494
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Knicks are going into Detroit. They're favored by two

1495
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 2: and a half points. Yeah, that's fairly, fairly close line.

1496
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure people weren't going to pick the Pistons at

1497
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 2: home being the number one. See, this is the first

1498
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 2: time the Pistons and Knicks are playing. But the Knicks

1499
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 2: are coming off three straight losses and Detroit is a

1500
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 2: back to back. Although I'm sure they got home quick

1501
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 2: and early last night because it was an afternoon game

1502
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 2: in Cleveland. I'm sure they got their sleep in their

1503
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 2: own But they just had a great performance by their

1504
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 2: bench against Cleveland. That's what I'm comfortable taking the next

1505
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 2: It was just a magnificent game for their bench. Eleven threes,

1506
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 2: six of them by Danis Jenkins.

1507
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 3: I can't not.

1508
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Dani's jacket's so fun. I always have to look at

1509
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 2: that name and wonder if it's Janice Dankins, just to

1510
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 2: make sure. But those two guys, these two teams at

1511
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 2: the top of the Eastern Conference should be really, really fun.

1512
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Knicks just because I don't think they

1513
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 2: can lose four in a row. But as you alluded

1514
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 2: to earlier, they do miss Josh hart skeets as there

1515
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 2: as their hearts.

1516
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 3: Everybody you're coming.

1517
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: In banged up here though, Like the Pistons are without

1518
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Jailing Duran, not Tobias Harris, I think as well. Yeah,

1519
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: but the Knicks missing some guys. So yeah, I got

1520
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: into the document this morning. I saw that you had

1521
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 1: the Knicks and Trey had the Pistons. I was like,

1522
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I honestly went with New York because

1523
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I thought the line was a little range.

1524
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, they're favored by two and a half.

1525
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Interesting, the line has moved since we made the pick.

1526
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I think it's three and a half Nicks now. So

1527
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: I think that's why I went with it, Like, what

1528
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: do you know?

1529
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 2: What do you know?

1530
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 4: So I went next?

1531
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 2: But that just because people bet the Nicks more than

1532
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 2: they bet on anybody else. I have let us know,

1533
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,959
Speaker 2: Fan duel, let us know. That's I imagine that's a

1534
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 2: big part of it. Also, the Pistons running back to back. Yeah, yeah,

1535
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 2: maybe that's whatever. Daring.

1536
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 3: I think it's big.

1537
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, this one is on the cock Peacock seven

1538
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: o'clock the clock on the cock.

1539
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 3: We got three games on the cock tonight. That's too

1540
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 3: many games to go on, is that possible?

1541
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1542
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Nick Piston's nugget sixers obviously unfortunate. No Yokic otherwise we

1543
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: maybe would have had a Yokitch impede game and then

1544
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: Warriors Clippers is the late one.

1545
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 3: All on Peacock. None on NBC.

1546
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 4: You're actually at work.

1547
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they cross over like that, Well, today's because

1548
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 2: we got a seven eastern and eight thirty eastern.
