Speaker 1: magic happen as always, it's JD. Hello, what's up? JD?

8
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: So we've got lots to get to today. We got

9
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: most improved player, the team most likely to disappoint our

10
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: favorite league pass sings. We're talking fantasy for a little bit.

11
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: Who are we? It should be fun. Make sure you

12
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: check out our other three parts that we've already done.

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: We're going to finish up on Friday for part number five.

14
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: Follow us on social media. We've got a TikTok account

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: that's tiktoking every day magic happened. Over there. It's mostly

16
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: Lee saying stuff.

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a Lyellis quote of the day at this point,

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: I mean yesterday, I feel like we almost skipped by

19
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: the fact that you threw an impromptu concert after a

20
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: Fat Boys Slim concert. For it sounded like twenty thousand

21
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: fans and that didn't even make the cut, you know,

22
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: like that, it's just kind of a normal part of

23
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: the show that wed.

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: You said, yeah, yeah, I mean twenty thousand is probably

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: bit much. I'd say probably ten to fifteen dudes who

26
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: have you know, have been popping pills and we're off

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: their kids. But it's fine, you know, I don't to

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: start small. As JD knows. JD has actually been in

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: a band out of us, so he knows you start small,

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: then you get bigger and bigger, and uh, you know,

31
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: it was a lot of fun. I did feel like

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: Freddie mccury did just for like sixty seconds of my life.

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of starting small, we're starting small with our no

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Buff feed. We've got a new feed for Nobuffs recapping

35
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: every episode of Survivor. So go check that out. Separate

36
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: podcast feed, separate YouTube feed. Do your boys a favor

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,320

38
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: guys are going to recap an episode from last night,

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: which was phenomenal. Later today, Trey JD and Jason Concepcion

40
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: are going to get on the horn to talk about

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: that episode of Survivor. Some freaking curveballs. There are you

42
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: guys excited to talk about that or what? Oh?

43
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: Totally? That was an awesome episode and I'm glad we're

44
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: plugging it right now during NBA talk because there was

45
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: a little bit of NBA trash talk during last night's

46
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: Survivor episode as well. So if you're a fan of

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: this show, you're a fan of Survivor. Was the perfect

48
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: ven diagram?

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of wannabe finger rolls out there

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: during the challenges. Yeah, what's up with that? Some bad

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: shooting because they've got those those vallolleyball kind of basketball things.

52
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: What's what's inside those? It's just a volleyball of cape like.

53
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: Probably coconuts, let's be honest.

54
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: Coconut Yeah.

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Double Challenge Day. That was fun. Okay, so let's

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: jump into today because we start with a bit of

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: a banger. I think, first question, Trey, what do you

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: think of this one? Which team is the most likely

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: to disappoint this coming NBA season?

60
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if I feel comfortable calling this a disappointment,

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: because I think the team could actually be better this

62
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: season than last season. However, I think it's more likely

63
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: that the Suns do not return to the Conference finals.

64
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Then they returned to the Conference Finals just like they

65
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: did last year, eventually making it to the NBA Finals. Basically,

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: the same team is coming back for Phoenix this year.

67
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: They added Javal McGee, Alfred Payton, Landry Shammick, Dario Sarich

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: is gonna be out for a while here, Javon Carter

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: went to the nets. But those are all kind of

70
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: guys on the periphery who will certainly be at some points.

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: But for the most part, we're looking at the same team.

72
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: They played at a fifty eight win pace last year,

73
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: and they certainly peaked heading into the playoffs, and then

74
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: they kept that going in the playoffs. However, in the

75
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: playoffs a lot of help for the Suns making it

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: to the Conference finals. Their first round matchup against the Lakers,

77
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: they were banged up, both Ad and Lebron not at

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. They win that series. Phoenix does goes

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: on to play the Denver Nuggets, no Jamal Murray, who

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: had been out since earlier in the season. They win

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: that series pretty easily, to be quite honest. Then they

82
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: meet up with the Clippers, who ended up missing Kawhi Leonard.

83
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: Those are massive stars. For all of their opponents who

84
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: happened to be out shout out to the Suns. They

85
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: took care of business each and every time, clearly outclassing

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: those teams who happened to be missing their players. You

87
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: can only play who's in front of you, but it

88
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: definitely is something to notice when you're looking at this team.

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: Like I said, they were great last year, and they

90
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: were great health wise in the regular season as well.

91
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: Their top four Michale Bridges, crisp Paul, DeAndre Ayton, and

92
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Devin Booker. None of those guys missed five or more games.

93
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: That's incredible health, especially in the season last year where

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: multiple players for multiple teams were missing big chunks of

95
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: the season due to COVID protocols. So they had great

96
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: health of their own in the regular season, and then

97
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: come postseason they got some health luck, no doubt about it.

98
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Chris Paul went down with an injury and

99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: the Sons were still able to take care of business.

100
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: I assume that the Sons will be a little bit

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: better this year, just because year two of the Chris

102
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: Paul experiment. Obviously, this team has been together now for

103
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: two seasons after they had the bubble run where a

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: lot of the same guys were still around. They're gonna

105
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: have that internal growth. They're gonna have you just an

106
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: extra year of playing together and knowing what each other likes.

107
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: But progress isn't always linear. Look at a team like

108
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: the Portland Trailblazers who made a run to the conference

109
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: finals and have won three playoff games. Since I'm not

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: saying that's gonna happen with Phoenix, I'm just saying they

111
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: might run into a tougher road come playoff time. Furthermore,

112
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: you've got the DeAndre eight and the McHale Bridges contract

113
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: thing kind of hanging over the team. What are they

114
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: gonna do? How big of deals are then these guys

115
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 2: gonna sign, and are they gonna get it done before

116
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: the season actually starts. I don't know. I don't foresee

117
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: a disease of me sort of thing taking down the

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Suns this year, But it could just be that they

119
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: end up playing against the team that happens to be peaking.

120
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: They could play against this year's Phoenix Suns and get

121
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: knocked off in the playoffs. I would not bet on

122
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: the Suns making it back to the finals and certainly

123
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: not or not the conference finals and definitely not the finals.

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: It's rare for team to go from having not made

125
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: the playoffs for years to all of a sudden two

126
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: wins away from the championships. So you know, to repeat

127
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: that level is going to be tough. Because the Suns,

128
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: you know, they probably did sneak up on teams last year.

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 3: We know that that can be effective. I mean, they

130
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: earned everything when they got to the playoffs. They absolutely

131
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: you know, defeated their opponents, you know, on merit. But

132
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: now it's like, okay, teams looking at the Suns, they've

133
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: got them, their scouting them a little bit more like, okay,

134
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: we got to you know, this team is good, this

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: team is legit. We know what they're expecting. So now

136
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: you know, Devin Booker, for example, who a lot of

137
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: his career has been a talented player and put up numbers.

138
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: Now teams like, well, okay, now he's had to taste

139
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: the playoffs. He wants to get back there. So they're

140
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: going to be They're going to find I think teams

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: coming at them a little bit harder than perhaps they

142
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: had done in years gone by. And Chris paul I mean,

143
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: he was brilliant for them last year, but he's another

144
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: year older, and if he can perform to the same

145
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: level he was out last year, I think the Suns

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: are fine. But you know, no one's Superman, no one

147
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: can go on forever. So there's a few questions there

148
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: about just whether or not you can repeat the performance

149
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: of last year for Phoenix. But I expect them to

150
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: finish top four still in the Western Conference. But that

151
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: doesn't automatically mean you get back to the finals. So

152
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: that's not a bad pick. I mean, you have to

153
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: have expectations in order to disappoint, and I think for

154
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: the Suns anything less than a top four finish will

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a disappointment for them.

156
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: But Tree, you're definitive not making the finals, unlikely to

157
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: make the conference finals. So you got to have other

158
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: teams on the Dome that are going to make the

159
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: conference finals, at least at least two three even right.

160
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I picked the Lakers to win the

161
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: West yesterday, so chalk them into the conference finals at

162
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: this point, Like I said, not super enthused. And I

163
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: do think the Suns will be one of the top

164
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: three teams. I just think most likely they don't make

165
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: it back there. I think the Jazz are the other

166
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: team that's in the top three mix along with the Suns,

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: and just like the just like Phoenix, you know, the

168
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: Jazz have been playing together for a long time too.

169
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: We'll know that, we know that they are going to

170
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: be a solid regular season team and then come playoff time,

171
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell goes to Dwayne Wade levels a lot of

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: the time. You know, his usage rate gets into the

173
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: high thirties, teetering right near their forty. He can put

174
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: up a fifty point game any night. Obviously, Phoenix has

175
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: that kind of player too, and Devin Booker Chris Paul

176
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: will show up in the playoffs as he always does.

177
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: It's just gonna be tough for the Suns. Like Lee

178
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: is saying, they've got a target on their back now,

179
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: which was not the case last year.

180
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you touched on Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker there.

181
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: I think when you say that, that's one of the

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: reasons nobody really wants to elevate either of those teams,

183
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: because those two guys, as incredible as they are, they're

184
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: not top ten guys at this point. They're just they

185
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: just don't have the superstar cachet that the Lakers have,

186
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: even the Clippers have when they healthy, or I would

187
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: even say that the Nuggets have, but you know, the

188
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Nuggets and the Clippers start with injuries. So the Sons

189
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: and the Jazz are really in that same family to me,

190
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: And you said there are. The Sons were on a

191
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: fifty eight win pace last year. That's an incredible number

192
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: when you think about it, like I understand that sixty

193
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: win teams don't always win it all. And the Jazz were,

194
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, just ahead of the Suns in that pace.

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: And obviously the Jazz were bouncing around to last year.

196
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: And I know everybody wants to talk about the Lakers,

197
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: and I mentioned the Clippers, and I mentioned the Nuggets,

198
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: but I think it's fairly even. And I think you're

199
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: saying that too, Trade. We are going to get to

200
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: a playoffs where the Lakers aren't just the team that's

201
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: gonna get there. You know, there was a chance that

202
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: they disappoint too. So I'll jump in before you go, League,

203
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: because I think the Lakers to me are the team,

204
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: especially early that could disappoint because there's some ingredients there

205
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: which could lead to a bit of a slow start.

206
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: And it's not just that they're the slowest or oldest

207
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: team in the league average age of nearly thirty one

208
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: years of age. Next oldest is the Heat at twenty

209
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: eight point eight. Because old people they do start thinking slow, right,

210
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, you got to get the knees, grease, the

211
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 1: elbows grease to get going. And Russell Westbrook starts slow

212
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: last couple of years, especially with Houston two years ago.

213
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: It was better last year, but remember last year with

214
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards, we were watching him put the ball

215
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: like off his legging out of bounds to start the year,

216
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: like he just he just didn't have it together. But

217
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: then obviously he had an incredible January February March. It

218
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: started to turn even after a brief slow start, So

219
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: I think that could happen. I wonder if Anthony Davis

220
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: plays center for this team a lot, and he did.

221
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: They have a brunch with Lebron and and Russell Westbrook

222
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: and said it's my time. It's my time to play center,

223
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: because that's gonna help Russell Westbrook as a non shooter

224
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: on this team to open it up. But they have

225
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard, they went and got DeAndre Jordan, who should

226
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: be more of a locker room guy. But I imagine they're

227
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: going to start those guys, and if or at least

228
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: one of them, I should say, and if Anthony Davis

229
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: plays a lot of four with Dwight Russ at the one, Lebron,

230
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: who's gonna, you know, try and call the shots. You

231
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: guys move here, You guys move here. Wayne Ellington is

232
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: supposed to start at the shooting guard spot. That defense

233
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: that was really good the last couple of years is

234
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: going to start. So I think it's just gonna take

235
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: time for Frank Vogel and for Anthony Davis and for

236
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Lebron to just call things out because there's just not

237
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: a lot of youth on this team, especially with Taylor

238
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: and Horton, Tucker having sergery on his thumb, Kendrick Nunn

239
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: is banged up. It should still be a top four team,

240
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: as you guys are saying, And I think a lot

241
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: is made about their age. Obviously, Westbrook, Rondo, Howard Mellow,

242
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan, Ariza Ellington, Baysmore, you know, some vets. But

243
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: the Lakers didn't get much from their supporting cast last year,

244
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure how much worse they can be

245
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: than Shrewder and Drummond and Harrold and Gasol and Matthews

246
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: and Kuzma. This guy's just didn't perform. Malik Monk's gonna

247
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: have a lot on his shoulders. And I think the

248
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: fact that they're taking a flyer on a guy like

249
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Seku Dumbuya, who is just an athletic wing who only

250
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: had two years with Detroit and got cut, I think

251
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: that kind of shows you. I guess he'll be sort

252
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: of in that Coasta side to Koombo role to Kumbo role,

253
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: like just the throw him out there and hope he

254
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: plays defense for you guy, Like they're kind of desperate

255
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: for guys to play. So I think slow start maybe,

256
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: And of course, when Lebron and Ad get serious a

257
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: top four finish at the end of the day, Lee,

258
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: who you got?

259
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm going with another team who had a

260
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 3: really good season last season, but now it's that sort

261
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: of second year. And it's interesting because the New York

262
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: Knicks won forty one game last year out of seventy

263
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: two game season. But yesterday when we did our over unders,

264
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 3: this was another team I had. I was going to

265
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 3: address because Vegas has only got them at forty one

266
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: and a half wins, which surprises me because you know,

267
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: they had a very strong regular season, the great defense.

268
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: But Vegas, I guess it's just not feeling that they

269
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: are actually any better than they were last season. In fact,

270
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: you could probably argue Vegas thinks they're probably worse if

271
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: they're only projected to win you know, forty one and

272
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 3: a half there. And look, Julius Randall was fantastic last season.

273
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see Emanual quickly become better,

274
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: you know, RJ. Barrett, I expect him actually to have,

275
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 3: you know, almost that sort of breakout season. So I

276
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: think there's some good pieces there. But I'm also just

277
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: not sure how much better they are, if they are

278
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: better at all, or if they're just sort of solid again.

279
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: And we know that coach Thibodeau, you know, he has

280
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: a reputation for being a successful first season coach. But

281
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: in time, time's gone by in Chicago, they're in Minnesota.

282
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 3: His way of coaching can sometimes rub his own players

283
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: up the wrong way. He's that sort of hard, old

284
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: school guy, the disciplinarian, and so will that have an

285
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: effect on the NIXT team this season. I think they're

286
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: you know, in that same sort of spot they were

287
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: last season, you know, four to six range. But I

288
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: also can see perhaps the wheels coming off a bit

289
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: if things don't go right for the Knicks. You know,

290
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: Kevin Knox is in an interesting stage of his career.

291
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: You know, they picked him up a few years ago,

292
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: hasn't really been able to find a role. Has shown

293
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: some flashes here in preseason. They sort of need someone

294
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: like him to actually go out there and really provide

295
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: a big role for them. So I'm not sure where

296
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: the Knicks are right now, but I can kind of

297
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: see last seasons as they rose and you know, the

298
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: Knicks were back, the Garden was rocking again, but perhaps

299
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: it was only a one season sort of return. Perhaps

300
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: they're sort of going to drop off a little bit more.

301
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm not sure they're a weird team. I'm excited to

302
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: see how they get back and start playing again again.

303
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: Tibbs brought back his guys. You know, he loves those guys,

304
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: Taj Gibson and Derek graz He's going to bring those

305
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: guys back forever. So I don't you know, Evan forty

306
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: a I'm not sure he sort of moves the needle

307
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: for that team all that much. So the Knicks may

308
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: be in sort of a bit of a battle again,

309
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: they may drop down in the Eastern standings.

310
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: I think the Knicks are going to have a pretty

311
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: solid floor, right They're gonna play defense. The games are

312
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: gonna be close. We know that the I mean, maybe

313
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: they're not as one hundred percent locked in defensively as

314
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: they were during the entirety of last season, but it's

315
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: quite likely Tis gets the buy in defensively, and I think, yeah,

316
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: leads Year two isn't always as smooth as year one,

317
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: but it's definitely better than year three. So I'm happy

318
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: with year two. So you'll probably still play that defense.

319
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: The question becomes is if Julius Randall is going to

320
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: be an All NBA player again, And you know, the

321
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: trap record just isn't there yet. Last year he was

322
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: hitting Kobe Bryant shots basically for the whole season, you know,

323
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: super contested mid Rangers shot forty percent from three. Really

324
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: turned into the Julius Randall that people thought we might

325
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: see when he was drafted really high. One of the

326
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: best players I know coming out of high school, a

327
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: high recruit for the University of Kentucky, and it around

328
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: and looked awesome, and then in the playoffs he kind

329
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: of got shut down a little bit by John Collins

330
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: with a little bit more, you know, kind of denying

331
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: him the ball and just making it impossible for him

332
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 2: to get to the spots where he wanted to hit

333
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: those crazy fadeaways. So you're not going to see that

334
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: kind of defense every night against Julius Randall. And I

335
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: think the Knicks did well by getting fourty eight and

336
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: Kemba Walker, even if they're not in their primes, even

337
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: if they're, you know, at the tail end of their career,

338
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: at least somebody else who can handle the ball and

339
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: get some shots. That being said, it all comes down

340
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: to Randall and RJ. Barrett. Barrett shot the ball a

341
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: lot better this year. If he's able to increase his playmaking,

342
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: that takes a lot of the pressure off Julius Randall

343
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: as well. But when your team is kind of coming

344
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: down to how far will Julius Randall take us, that's

345
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: a tough question to answer at this point. Last year

346
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: he took him really far. Will we see that again

347
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: this year?

348
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: I do like you he's got help as you mentioned

349
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: there with Kemba and Foreigner and RJ Barrett. He's improved

350
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: every year and his preseason mixtape if they make those,

351
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: it's all right. This year he looks good, he looks comfortable.

352
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: I think what helps Julius Randall is those guys just

353
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: at least he can pass to somebody, because the playoffs

354
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: against the Hawks, it was just him and they had

355
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: to bring Derrick Rose into the starting lineupcause Alfred Payton

356
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: wasn't cutting it. But now they have guys who can shoot.

357
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: Kim is not going to be afraid to shoot obviously

358
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: if you know Fournier won't be either, and RJ. Barrett's

359
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: ready to go. I think this team is going to

360
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: be solid. They they've improved, and I get that. You

361
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: know those names are past the prime as you said there, Trey,

362
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: But last year there are forty one and thirty one

363
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: in a seventy two game season, so that's about forty

364
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: six or forty seven wins in a full eighty two

365
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: like we're getting this year, and for their line to

366
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: be forty one and a half, that's low. I don't

367
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: know what. I don't know where the lack of enthusiasm,

368
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: I guess is because the names are Evan Fournier and guys,

369
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: and Kemba Walker, who we know is past the prime.

370
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: But I get the defense has to be good. And

371
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: maybe you don't think of Kemba Walker is a good

372
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: defensive player, but you know, a couple of years ago

373
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: with Boston he was part of a really good defense.

374
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: As long as as long as he knows that he's

375
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: not the old Kemba Walker and Derek Row is going

376
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: to play a lot of minutes, I'm buying that over

377
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: forty one and a half. I didn't even know that number.

378
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 3: Just yeah, I definitely would take the over there. You know,

379
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: from somewhere closer, I think to sort of forty four

380
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: to forty five. But I guess you can sort of

381
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: see it like being, you know, ten games below that

382
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: as well. I think, you know, if Kember's only out

383
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 3: there for forty five or fifty games, you know, if

384
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 3: Julius is unable to sort of handle the extra pressure

385
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: this season, and if they don't get the sort of

386
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: growth and development from those younger guys. So but you know,

387
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: like you say, there trade like that, that defense is

388
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: kind of a really important staple. I think for the Knicks,

389
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: if they can keep that defense where it was last season,

390
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: they're going to be in a lot more games. And

391
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: then if they can you know, if they can close

392
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: those out, they're going to pick up some of those

393
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: closer wins. So it's yeah, it's interesting. It's the Knicks

394
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: sort of came a little bit out of nowhere last season.

395
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 3: But again, what he saw from in the playoff, it

396
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 3: was like, this team is missing something, and I'm just

397
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 3: not sure they addressed that fully in the off season.

398
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: I just don't want Evan Fournia to have a lot

399
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: of bad nights because they're gonna on Twitter, the fans

400
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: will be posting what with Trey posted yesterday that terrible

401
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: image of him as a two K player with ald

402
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: Google eyes popping out. I wonder if two K was

403
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: just trying to get in the Google game a little

404
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: bit more, because you know how Pournier says, you know,

405
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: don't google me because it's Fournier is a gang green disease, right?

406
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Maybe they just wanted to

407
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: get up in the images because that image we're showing

408
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: you on YouTube, I mean, that is going to be

409
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: all over Twitter if he has some bad nights. I

410
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: like how he doesn't have any more expectations on him.

411
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Though he went to Boston last year after being with Orlando,

412
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: he was signed five for ninety. I think with Orlando

413
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: that was you know, back in the day when everybody

414
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: was signing those biggies in twenty sixteen. Now it's like

415
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: he's on the team. If he's just relied on to

416
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: score fifty in a game, then it should be a

417
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: solid team. Yeah, it's interesting. A lot of teams in

418
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: the mix there, and that's sort of that second tier.

419
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: Who's going to break out of it? Or the Hawks

420
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: the best team of you know below you know the

421
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: Bucks and Nets, and then they're the Heat and then

422
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: you get into you know, the Nickson Balls and all

423
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: those teams. So we talked about the teams there that

424
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: could fluctu eight expectations high or low. But let's talk

425
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: about somebody you are excited to watch night in and

426
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: AO the must watch League Pass team least starter up.

427
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: Well, this one's pretty easy for me because this team

428
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: only has well they have eight games on national TV,

429
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: but for NBA TV, So do we count those? I'm

430
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 3: not sure we do. It's the Charlotte Hornets. For me,

431
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: it's a pretty easy choice because must watch league past me.

432
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: It's not necessarily a team that he's gonna win a

433
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: ton of games. It's who's who's fun to watch, and

434
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: lamelow Ball is one of the most exciting players to watch.

435
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: And I love the addition of James Booknight on that team.

436
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 3: I love the commentary of course, Eric Collins and Dell

437
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: Curry on the call. They're great, those jerseys are great.

438
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: The environment there is awesome. It's usually a seven o'clock

439
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: Eastern tip off, which I also love to do. So

440
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: you know, look, I think, I mean the Hornets are

441
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: another team I'm expecting to take something of a step

442
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: up this season. You know, they were in playoff contention

443
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 3: before LaMelo went down last season with that injury, so

444
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: you're expecting the Hornets of Gordon Hayward's as well if

445
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: he's injury free. This is a good team. You know,

446
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: this is a solid team. They're certainly not a championship

447
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: contender yet, but you can see a few of the

448
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: pieces there as well. In place. They've also got the

449
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: wave puppy in Kelly youu Bray Junior is there, so

450
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: he's always excited.

451
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 1: For here the Wave, Puppy, puppy, and you know.

452
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, they're certainly one of my favorite teams to watch,

453
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 3: and a little surprised, to be honest, I when I

454
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: checked and saw they only have the four ESPN games,

455
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 3: I thought that LaMelo would have brought a little bit

456
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: more attention to that team, but I guess not just yet.

457
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: So but yeah, give me the Hornets always a great watch.

458
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: Is this the first time that a Zeller has been

459
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: exchanged from Plumbley Cody going to Portland and we got

460
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 2: Mason coming to Charlotte. Is anybody gonna even Well, it's funny.

461
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 3: I was gonna bring up Mason because he's good for

462
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: some sort of crazy either highlight, reel, dark or block

463
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 3: or something out there. So he's gonna give you something there, Mason,

464
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: something worth watching anyway. But yeah, a Zella for a

465
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: Plumbley a classic sort of like does it? Let's just

466
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 3: swap them and see if nobody knows. Won't even run

467
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: this past the league. We're just like, you just go

468
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: and join that team. I'll stay here and we'll see

469
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 3: see if anyone recognizes the difference.

470
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: It's funny you say that track because I saw Mason

471
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: Plumley on the team and I said, they replaced another

472
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: Plumly with a Plumbley because I I confused Cody Zeller

473
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: with another Plumbley. Yeah, just the standard white guy out there.

474
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, Cody Zeller, I think he might help a

475
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: little in Portland. I don't know which who would you

476
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: rather have, Mason Plumbley or Cody Zeller.

477
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: That's tough. That's a really tough question. But it's a

478
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: great alley because my league past team this year is

479
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: the Portland Trailblazers. I can't believe they only have nine

480
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: national television games. And while I am stoked to see

481
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: Cody Zeller running around up there in Portland, it's all

482
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: about Damian Lillard. They're only putting this guy on national

483
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: TV nine times. That is not enough for Lillard time.

484
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: He had six forty point games last year, had a

485
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: fifty point game. And that's not even counting all the

486
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: numerous Lillard time moments where he's taken over in the

487
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, hitting big shots. He beat the bulls off

488
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: of a jump ball. It was crazy. Last year. I also, like,

489
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: you know, Jordan Kent was great as the play by

490
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: play guy, but Pacific Northwest legend is joining Lamar Hurd

491
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: in the booth this year. Kevin Tulabre used to be

492
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: the Sonics guy. Now he's the Portland Trailblazers play by play,

493
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: so you got that classic voice calling the games. I

494
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: obviously love the look of the Trailblazers. They got solid

495
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: uniforms year in year out. They've got the reigning contest champion,

496
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: and Anthony Simon's making crazy decisions out there. But really

497
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: it all comes down to getting to watch Damian Lillard

498
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 2: as much as possible. Not to mention there's so many

499
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: solid Western Conference teams, I'm unlikely. I like these late

500
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: starts because I know I'm gonna end up staying to

501
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 2: stay up too late anyway, so at least give me

502
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 2: something exciting to watch out there on the West Coast.

503
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: I like picking a West Coast teams because, yeah, just

504
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: so I can get amped to stay up for those games.

505
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: I agree. I do like your picks because I like

506
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: the fact that their national TV games are low because

507
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: you get more Kevin Collaboro and Lamar Hurt, or in

508
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Charlotte's case, you get Eric Collins. I mean, that's half

509
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the fun is to hear him go fricking crazy for

510
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: a layup or you know, for whatever. I mean half

511
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: of I think half the Hornets highlights on Twitter are

512
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: just Eric Collins yelling it's less about but those those

513
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: are solid picks. Actually at Skeets, chimed in he wanted

514
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: to put his League Pass team in. He picked the

515
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. It's an interesting one. Also, only six National

516
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: TV games. I guess he's amped to watch them for

517
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: seventy six games on Leak Pass. My pick is your

518
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: bulls tray. I think I think that the drama's got

519
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: it real. Just just pull me in because the talent

520
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: obviously ridiculously intriguing, so much talent when you when you

521
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: really look at it. Zach Lavine vouch All Stars last year,

522
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: tomart de Roze in a four time All Star, ball

523
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: Caruso in a different role, see what he could do.

524
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: The team drama is kind of intriguing because they put

525
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: so much into this iteration of the team, so much

526
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: draft capital and money. I'm kind of getting my popcorn

527
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: ready because you could see this team fall off. They

528
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: could be a disappointing team, but they could also get

529
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: some shine back, you know from even the Derreck Rose

530
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Jokim Noahir like they could get you know, they could

531
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: become a good Bulls team again. And I know everybody

532
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: says the league is better off when the Knicks are good.

533
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: I feel that way about the Bulls. It's just there's

534
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: just something about having, you know, the Red and White

535
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: be good again. So I think that that just sort

536
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: of the drama. I think you can you know, you could,

537
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: you could put this on TV. You could have like

538
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: a Hard Knocks with this team. There's so many personalities.

539
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if LaVar Ball is showing up but

540
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: a Lonzo Ball. I think it had created a little

541
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 1: bit of controversy for me anyways, because I'm not sure

542
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: how he's going to fit in exactly, because on media

543
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: day he said, I'm going to go back to being

544
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: a point guard because last year Stampangundian New Orleans took

545
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: him off the ball a little bit. He was an

546
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: off the ball shooter and more of a catch and

547
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: shoot guy, and that could be his role a lot

548
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: of the time. So I wonder how that's all gonna work,

549
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: because you know, Zach's gonna have it so much obviously,

550
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: Damar's got to have it in his hands. I wonder

551
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: how happy Lonzo Ball is going to be, and I

552
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: wonder how happy Dad's going to because he was bissed

553
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: that Lonzo wasn't running the show in New Orleans and

554
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: it was more of the The Zion Show. So it

555
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: could go great, it could go back because they're a

556
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: small team, lack of depth upfront, as we talked about

557
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: Daniel taste guy, Thaddeus young guy. But I'm intrigued to

558
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: watch a weekend they play the Raps, so.

559
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: It's interesting, Like like, I think Zach is probably going

560
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: to be the Bulls leading scorer, but I can see

561
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 3: him maybe only averaging, you know, just over twenty a

562
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: game because there are so many other guys who can

563
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: score there. DeRozan, of course, Vuch is going to want

564
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: to get his, So I don't think you're gonna have

565
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 3: one of those guys just really sort of stand out.

566
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be sort of more on

567
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 3: offense by committee, you know. And if Lonzo can hit

568
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: those threes, because he's gonna he should get plenty of opportunity,

569
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 3: plenty of open ones if that ball moves around, So

570
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: they got plenty of different options on the offensive end.

571
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 3: It's just whether or not they can keep it together

572
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: on the defensive end. But yeah, they've got they've got

573
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: a fairly big swing. I think from where the Bulls

574
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: can be, they're they're high to their low I think,

575
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: at best, top four, at worst, probably battling just to

576
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 3: get into the playing tournament again, I think. But yeah,

577
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: at least at least they're going to be a bit

578
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 3: more to watch this season.

579
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

580
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: I saw five thirty eight projections today had them at

581
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: thirty eight wins, very close to where John Hollinger had

582
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: them at thirty seven wins. But if you're talking about

583
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: a league pass team, they're the perfect league pass team,

584
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: all offense, no defense, and they're gonna be the best

585
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: dunking team in the league without a doubt. They've got

586
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: Zach Levine, DeMar Derozen and Derek Jones Junior, not to

587
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 2: mention Alex Caruso flying in every now and then. So yeah,

588
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: from an objective standpoint, maybe the Bulls will be a

589
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: mid card team, but they're gonna be high on the

590
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: list of people wanting to watch them this year just

591
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: because they're gonna be an offensive powerhouse.

592
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 1: I think I would pick the best dunking team as

593
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: the Hornets myself with Bridges and Booknight will get a

594
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: little bit. But maybe I don't know.

595
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: The book Knight's gonna play. Maybe everybody like all of

596
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: the Hornet's best players are guards, and they drafted another

597
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: guard this year, and they're hoping to bring back Gordon Hayward,

598
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: who handles the ball. I'm excited to see him too.

599
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: And they definitely got Miles Bridges the ball. The Bridges

600
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: connection is huge, but there's a lot more guys for

601
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bulls ball to throw.

602
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: That's true, I think. I guess I'm thinking more flashy

603
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: with the Hornets rather than dunks. I think the Hornets

604
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: had the second most dunks last year. I think exactly

605
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: will put that note in uh, but yeah, it's a

606
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: it's a good call. Uh dunk a ruse happened to

607
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: with Chicago Bulls and not a lot of d that's

608
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: for sure. We got to take a quick break here,

609
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: but everybody in the stream team get your thinking caps

610
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: on because we've got a question about the player that

611
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: needs a good nickname. So get those puns working. We'll

612
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: be back right after the break. We're back with no dunks.

613
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: I got to mention the stream team going nuts for

614
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: the Tray Hervey photoshop for that Peloton ad, it was

615
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: Trey's face on a Peloton instruction photoshop. Yeah right, those

616
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: biceps were here.

617
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: Jad and I did a photo shoot for yesterday so

618
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: that we could run it in the ads today. Come

619
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: on seeing this live, you're seeing that tiny little bit

620
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: of a line. I got to manipulate this a little

621
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: bit at that.

622
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: You're Cody Ripsby right now. I think that was Cody

623
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: Rigsby on the bike there. Who's on Dancing with the Stars.

624
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: He's on it. He's a Peloton Peloton instructor. I don't

625
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: know why. I know he's on the Dancing with the Stars.

626
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, Trey, uh, Trey looking good there. I was.

627
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention during your Pelton that you guys

628
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: went on vacation. You guys were making sure you're getting

629
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: in shape. I was disappointed. I didn't see a topless

630
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: photo on the beach. There's a photo came up. You

631
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: guys are on the beach. I was like, all right,

632
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Trey's shirt off. Let's let's see this.

633
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: I think you had a full full shirt on.

634
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: That's right test, that's right task. I worked out for

635
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: four months, and when we finally got to the beach,

636
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: I wore long sleeves the entire time. I still like

637
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: to keep this skin sunburn free. I actually had some regrets.

638
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: I was like, come on, I wore a rash guard

639
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: to the beach every single time we went down there.

640
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: But you know, when you're playing spike ball, you need

641
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: a little bit of protection on the old.

642
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: It helps, It helps for sure. Okay, we're gonna talk

643
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: about something now that we never ever talk about fantasy basketball.

644
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: I want to know who your fantasy basketball sleeper pick

645
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: is in a segment we call Fantasy Sleeper Corner. This

646
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: segment is brought to you by the Sleeper app and

647
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: it's new fantasy basketball game called Game Pick. If you

648
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: haven't heard, we talked about a little bit. You conduct

649
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: a regular draft, however you like, it's snake linear or whatever.

650
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: The difference is when you play sleepers Game Pick, you

651
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: start at the beginning of the week, and unlike other

652
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: past fantasy games where you just play your guys the

653
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: whole time, you can only pick one game for each

654
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: of your guys, So It's not just about which team

655
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: has the most games played that ends up winning. It's

656
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: about strategy. It's about picking that one single game. It's

657
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: called game pick on the sleeper app. It's very very

658
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: strategic and so that makes it fun for me. And

659
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: it's less about like drop guys, pick guys up, drop

660
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: guys for four to three, Like how many games does

661
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: he have? I'm gonna pick this guy for versus two,

662
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win. You know, It's less about the numbers

663
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: and more about the feel of the game and trying

664
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: to be a smart you know, old old couch GM.

665
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: So my pick, I'll start us off for a fantasy

666
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: sleeper guy this year that I really like is Nikhil

667
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Alexander Walker. Great name. Who does he play for? You ask?

668
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: You may not know he plays for the New Orleans Pelicans,

669
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: but this is year three for him, and I expect

670
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: this Canadian to take a jump because he's going to

671
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: get more time. Lonzo Ball gone, Eric Bledsoe gone with

672
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: the Pelicans in our Thomas Edaranski, DeVante Graham, and Garrett Temple.

673
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: Nikile Alexander Walker is different than all those guys that

674
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: have come in. I think he can he can do

675
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: it all that. Those guys are a little bit more

676
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: of a you know, specialty guys. And he played twenty

677
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: one minutes per game last year. I think he's going

678
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: to play twenty six to twenty eight, even thirty. I

679
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: think he's going to force himself into the rotation he

680
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: developed over the summer. I mean, I get a little

681
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: too hype for these video packs that come out and

682
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: what he did in the preseason. But he's got it.

683
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: He's got the step back, he's got the shot. He's

684
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: been working on it, and it's not just what we've

685
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: seen in camp, even though the Pelicans players they're raving

686
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: about it. On the Athletic Will Gillery a great column

687
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: about what he's doing during the preseason. But he did

688
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: it last year too, Right before he got hurt in April,

689
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: he had a nine game stretch where he was kind

690
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: of into the starting lineup for most of those games

691
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: because Ball was out seventeen and a half points, five rebounds.

692
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of surprising. I think him as a small guy,

693
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: but he's six to six, shot forty two from the

694
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: line and shot nine attempts from three point line. So

695
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: was that a flash in the pan I don't think so,

696
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: because he went and played for Team Canada in the

697
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: Olympic qualifying tournament this summer. I think he was the

698
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: best player on the team, even though they have Andrew

699
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: Wigans and RJ. Barrett almost seventeen points game on forty

700
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: five percent shooting, so he's not going to hurt your

701
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: field goal percentage. I believe in Nikil Alexander Walker taking

702
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: the next step in year three, like a lot of

703
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: guys do in year three if they're going to be good,

704
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: He's got the opportunity. I think David Griffin had that

705
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: in mind when he let Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoeg go.

706
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: He also had money in mind because Nikil Alexander Walker's

707
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper. But that's where I'm going with He's

708
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: He's ranked about one hundred and fifty fourth on the

709
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: sleeper app So yeah, on that did.

710
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: You say he was at forty two percent from.

711
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: Three that nine game stretch. Yeah, it was a stretch.

712
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: It wasn't the whole series.

713
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, but that would be huge. I mean, he's

714
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: a career basically thirty five percent three point shooter, but

715
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: you know, playing alongside some of the characters that the

716
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 2: Pelicans have. He's going to need to be able to

717
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 2: shoot if he's going to stay on the court. I

718
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: remember Zion was asking for Nikhil Alexander Walker to play

719
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: a whole bunch more last year. It seems that they've

720
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: cleared the way for him a little bit this year.

721
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: So if he's able to knock down threes, that's a

722
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: great pick.

723
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: All right, who you got, Trey.

724
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: Well? The Rockets are going to be bad this season,

725
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 2: but christian Wood is good. Good Wood last year twenty

726
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: one points per game, nine point six rebounds, almost to

727
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: steal more than a block a game, shot fifty one

728
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: percent from the field, thirty seven from three, and made

729
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: one point nine threes per game.

730
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: Not bad.

731
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: For christian Wood. The problems with christian Wood would be

732
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: he only played forty one games last season. He doesn't

733
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 2: have a long track record of being a starting center

734
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 2: at coming from Detroit previously. Plus you look at some

735
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: of the guys that the Rockets have added since christian

736
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 2: Wood was really taken over at the beginning of the season.

737
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: Kevin Porter Junior is going to have the ball a ton.

738
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Green is going to have the ball a ton.

739
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 2: Alprin Shengon is here in Houston, so he might cut

740
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: into christian Wood's production a little bit, but you're still

741
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: basically getting Anthony Davis numbers at a Clint Capella price.

742
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Average draft position right now on the sleeper app for

743
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 2: Christian Wood is about fifty one. He's like a sixth

744
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: rownd pick and he's going behind Andre Drummond a bunch,

745
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: and Andre Drummond isn't even going to start. So I

746
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: think you can get a pretty solid center in Christian

747
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: Wood there in the middle rounds.

748
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: That's a good call. His numbers are forgotten about, I

749
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: guess because he played for the worst team in the

750
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: NBA last year. But when he was healthy there was

751
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: there's some smattering of all Star talk and a little smattering.

752
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: He had most improved talk. He had it all going

753
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 3: there because yeah, he basically was just putting out twenties

754
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 3: and ten, but it was because it was the Rockets.

755
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: It was like does this really count? But in fantasy possible,

756
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: that's the only thing to count. Just put up the numbers,

757
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: not when kids have had anything else.

758
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's solid. It was just a solid player. They

759
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: made it. They made a great, great pick there, and yeah,

760
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: I agree, those numbers are going to be good. So

761
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: if you can sneak him in there a little early,

762
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: Andre Drummond, it's just because people just pick Andre Drummond

763
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: just because he's a name.

764
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's a backup. But I mean, I don't know.

765
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: Maybe you assuming beatle Miss a little bit of time

766
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: and surely he's going to rebound, so maybe you're winning

767
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: the rebound cats.

768
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: True, he gets his numbers, no doubt, he's a Sunway,

769
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: it's out of fantasy. I guess Lealis who you're taking

770
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: as your fantasy sleeper.

771
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 3: Pick well, Tassi, I'm actually going with another New Orleans

772
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: Pelican that's Devonte Graham because he comes over from the

773
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: Charlotte Hornets. Last season, the Pelicans signed him to that

774
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: four year, forty eight million dollar contract. Now, if you

775
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 3: look at purely numbers last season, they took a dip

776
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 3: from his second season. He was down to fifteen points

777
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 3: a game from eighteen points a game. He got injured

778
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: as well there and his minutes took a hit. But

779
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: the reason why, I think is quite obviously because LaMelo

780
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 3: Ball came along and really became that starting point guard

781
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 3: for the team, and they kind of realized that DeVante Graham,

782
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: unless he's going to be a spot up shooter, he's

783
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: a little bit redundant in that position. His actual three

784
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 3: point shooting did increase last years percentages, even though he

785
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 3: took about one less per game. But I think now

786
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: there is a chance for him in New Orleans to

787
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: get back to that level of what he was two

788
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: seasons ago in Charlotte around eighteen and six assists there

789
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 3: a game, because I think he's going to be their

790
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: starting point guard. And again, if David Griffin, you sign

791
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: a guy as a free agent, you don't really want

792
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,959
Speaker 3: to have him, you know, in that second or third

793
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 3: on your depth chart. I think he's going to be

794
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 3: the guy starting. Especially with Zion not playing the first

795
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: couple of weeks or however long he's going to be out,

796
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: there's going to be some more opportunities for guys to

797
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 3: go out there and score. So I think Davonte Graham,

798
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 3: we certainly don't put him in that elite category of

799
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: point guards in the NBA, but in fantasy basketball, again,

800
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 3: that stuff doesn't matter. It's just who's going to get

801
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 3: out there and fill up the stat sheet for your team,

802
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: And I think he's in a great situation. He's twenty six.

803
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: Remember even a couple of years ago for him, there

804
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 3: was some all star buzz at one point of the season,

805
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: and I think he had a stretcher of just hitting

806
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,959
Speaker 3: threes left and right, didn't quite sort of wasn't able

807
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 3: to capitalize on that. But new situation, new coach, new team,

808
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 3: and again he's kind of like one of Gris's guys,

809
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: so you expect that he's going to want him out

810
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: there playing heavy minutes. He's going to take a lot

811
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: of shots and should be able to bank plenty of

812
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: those nice fantasy stats that makes it all so much

813
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: fun and how we fall in love with guys.

814
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: Do you think he gets first crack at starting over

815
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 2: in Nikhil Alexander Watt?

816
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 3: I do, yeah. I mean I think he's going to

817
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 3: be their starting point guard. I was looking at the

818
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: depth charts there this morning. I'm like, yeah, I think

819
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 3: he's I think it's his spot. I mean it's we'll

820
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: wait and see, of course exactly what happens, but I

821
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: just believe in those things, Like I say, if the

822
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 3: GM signs a guy as a free agent, he wants

823
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 3: him out there to show. Hey, this was a smart move.

824
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: I signed this guy. I picked him up, and he's

825
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 3: going to go out there and produce. So I like

826
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 3: to say I also think that season last year, we

827
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: look at it, you know, like, well, he took a

828
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 3: step back, but I think there's a big reason why,

829
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 3: and I think he is closer. I think he can

830
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: average twenty a game down there in New Orleans, twenty points,

831
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 3: six assists. You know, if he can hit three threes

832
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 3: a game, I think that's within his reign. Shooting, you know,

833
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 3: he likes to jack him up around eight a game,

834
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 3: and he's shooting at thirty seven percent, so I think

835
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: that's all in play. And then if he can just

836
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: get a couple of cheap steals for you as well,

837
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: that's really going to help. So a little bit streaky,

838
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 3: no doubt that shooting, but a different situation for him,

839
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: so hopefully he can produce for you.

840
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be interesting what they go with in the

841
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: starting lineup because they have Thomas Sataranski who was attempted

842
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: starter with the Bulls last year and the Wizards before that.

843
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: So I could see satara Ansky and Graham starting together

844
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: a little defense and offense. Garrett Temple will fight his

845
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: way into that rotation, and Nikile Alexander Walker will probably

846
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: finish some games in my opinion, because he's he can

847
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: do what all those guys can do in just one body.

848
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: I believe in Nikaile Alexander Walker growing. He's got some

849
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 1: d he's got shooting, he's got some playmaking. So yeah,

850
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: what you know, everybody down on the Pelicans, I get it.

851
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson is not healthy. It's it's it's it's it's sad.

852
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: It's sad that again he's he's missing time in there.

853
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: Is that the story obviously that has kept under wraps

854
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: for a while that he had a foot surgery. It's

855
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: all dependent on him and so hopefully he comes back

856
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: pretty soon and he shed some of those LB's that

857
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: looks like he's he's gained recently. I'll throw in another one.

858
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: I got some Canadian vibes going on right now, I guess.

859
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: And Cale Alexander Walker, I believe in him. Precious Statchua

860
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,240
Speaker 1: not Cannadian, Nigerian, but he plays for the Toronto Raptors.

861
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: Going deep in the sleeper wrapp two thirty six is

862
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: his pick. So depending on you know, how deep your

863
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: drafts are and how many guys? But this guy could

864
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 1: you know? He could? He could be somebody you add

865
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: and then drop because Chris Bouchet is hurt for the

866
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: Raps and Ken Burch is you gonna play a lot

867
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: at the five. But I think Precious Toachua is just

868
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: going to like Nikhil Alexander Walker forced the coach to

869
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: play him, so that early season would be the time

870
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: to pick him up because maybe his minutes diminish a

871
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: little bit, and who knows what the Raps are doing.

872
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: If they're starting all six nine guys in Precious Toachua,

873
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: it'll be perfect for that. So looking forward to seeing

874
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: how the fantasy season here on Sleeper Game Pick All

875
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 1: plays out. Moving to our next question, most improved Player

876
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: always a fun one. Unfortunately, Skeets isn't here to getting

877
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: mad about it, although.

878
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: Shot the guy flew across the country to not have

879
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: to talk about most improved Player. That's dedication.

880
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: He sent in his pick because he wants to make

881
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: it official. He picked Nikila Alexander Walker as his most

882
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: improved player. Yeah, we got some Canadian bias going on.

883
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he won't answer the question, but he'll throw in

884
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 3: the homer card.

885
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: Anyway.

886
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's a pretty game, isn't it pretty

887
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 3: ballsy to just say, all right, you guys can play

888
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: the Homer card for me.

889
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not even not even here to hear you

890
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: say a home really. I'm sure he's listening right now,

891
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: So give him a home really homeer? Okay, Lee, Now

892
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: who's your who's your MIP? Who's your most improved player? Oh?

893
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Australian mateeth Tible, so he can't

894
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: return me with the home. But look, the reason I'm

895
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 3: picking Mathie's table is because he's a fantastic defender. All

896
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: Defense second Team last season. He's got incredible skills on

897
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 3: that end of the floor, and he only played twenty minutes.

898
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 3: I think part of the reason he only plays twenty

899
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 3: minutes is because he doesn't contribute all that much on

900
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 3: the offensive end. But I think he's in for an

901
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,439
Speaker 3: improvement on that end, especially after what I saw from

902
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 3: him at the Olympic Games there in Tokyo. He was

903
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: fantastic for Australia in getting us that bronze medal. He

904
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 3: averaged eight points a game and get this, he shot

905
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 3: sixty two percent from the field. That's what he really

906
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 3: needs to do because last season in the regular season

907
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 3: for the Sixers, he only averaged four points a game,

908
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 3: shot forty two percent, not too bad, and only thirty

909
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 3: percent from downtown. But in the playoffs he did increase

910
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: that slightly, shot forty eight percent from the field, just

911
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,760
Speaker 3: over five points a game, and then he shot thirty

912
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 3: two percent from a three point range. So for me,

913
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 3: he's got a really big range where if he only averages, say,

914
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 3: you know, twelve to fourteen or fifteen points a game,

915
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: I think he's going to generate a lot of interest

916
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 3: in most improved because he's coming basically from you know,

917
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 3: almost no points a game into a high double digits range.

918
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 3: Yet now he can do that by running the floor

919
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 3: that's what he did fantastically well for Australia and just

920
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 3: being consistent knocking down that three pointer. I think there's

921
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 3: going to be opportunity there for him to do it because,

922
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 3: as I said, I think Doc Rivers is like, we

923
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: love this guy on the floor because he can take

924
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 3: a defender. He locked down Luca in that bronze medal

925
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: game there for Australia. Now Luca was probably a little

926
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: fatigue let's be fair, but that's the sort of thing

927
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: that Matisse Tible brings to a team. He's got that

928
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: ability to really be a lockdown defender. So if he

929
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: can get out there and stay on the floor and

930
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 3: bump that from twenty minutes a game up to as

931
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: many as thirty minutes a game, he'll be doing that

932
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 3: if he's out there again, just filling the lane, getting

933
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 3: tip ins, running the break, catching oops, and hitting consistent

934
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 3: shots from wherever that is on the floor. So look,

935
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: probably falling in love with him a little bit from

936
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: the Olympics here, but I can really see if the game,

937
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 3: if he plays the game the right way there and

938
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 3: gets out there and runs that break, he can get

939
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 3: some easy points, and I think that's what he needs

940
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 3: to really strengthen his case for Most Improved.

941
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: All right, couple homers, you got a nah, you got

942
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: a tible Trey. Where are you going?

943
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I'm going to get homers for

944
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: this one, but I'm thinking around just a you know,

945
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: an adopted homer for sure, which I think o Janoby

946
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: Ojiannonoby has a chance at Most Improved Player here, basically

947
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 2: on the Pascal Siakam case, from a few years back.

948
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 2: Last season, Og went for a career high sixteen points

949
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 2: a game, five rebounds to assist, great percentages from the

950
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 2: field forty eight field goal percentage, thirty nine from three,

951
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 2: added a steal and a half. Like you mentioned tasks earlier,

952
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam is out to start this season, Chris Bouche

953
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 2: as well. With Kyle Lowry gone, there's just a huge

954
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: opportunity for somebody to step into a scoring role. It

955
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: looks like Og, even when Siakam and Bouche comes back,

956
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: is going to be asked to do a little bit

957
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: more offensively, and it looks like he's capable of doing more.

958
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: There are moments during the preseason where he looks like

959
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard going between the legs a couple of times

960
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: hitting a pull up three. We shall see if he

961
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: becomes an off the dribble three point shooter, and if

962
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: he does, if he does this season, if he's able

963
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: to stay close to thirty nine percent, if the Raptors

964
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: are a bit of a surprise team, you know, punching

965
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: above their weight, getting into the playoff tournament, maybe even

966
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,919
Speaker 2: getting into the top six seeds, I think he could

967
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 2: have some All Star Buzz and if that's the case,

968
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 2: he could be a most improved player for sure.

969
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: That's hot. That's a hot pick and a perfect timing

970
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: here as we're listening to a bit of a leaf blower.

971
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: If you're if you're really locked into your headphones, A

972
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 1: JD threw up, that's.

973
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 3: Leady, it's may it's me the guys at honestly that

974
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: we here yesterday, that we hear the day before. It's like, guys,

975
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 3: I know it's full, but I mean, they can't be

976
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 3: that many leaves that you're at there again housing around

977
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 3: at it. It's crazy, it's crazy.

978
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how JD's got a camera out there,

979
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: but he provided us a live look. He provided us.

980
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 3: So that's what it feels like. Man, it feels like that.

981
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: Look at that, look at that leaf bloor.

982
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 2: I hate to admit it. I might be a most

983
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 2: improved player as well. I bought a leaf.

984
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

985
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: So I don't know if any of my neighbors have

986
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: been recording podcasts, but I'm surely noise polluting. Uh these bad?

987
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got one too. I was always yeah, listen,

988
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 4: it's electric a b it's got whisper technology. Apparently, but

989
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 4: it's it's loud as hell. But I have to say

990
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 4: I've never I'm fifty, I've never used one before. I

991
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 4: sweep my patio over here usually takes me about a

992
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 4: half hour three minutes, Like it took three minutes to

993
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 4: do it. So they're pretty awesome.

994
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: So you're not on that. You're not on that council

995
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 3: money digeta. You know where they've like they get pints,

996
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: so they just drag it out all day long to

997
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 3: do anything else.

998
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: You know.

999
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am my own hoa over here, so yeah, yeah,

1000
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 4: I finally caved as well.

1001
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 2: If you can't beat them, join them. If you can't

1002
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 2: beat them, blow them. I guess that's what I'm saying.

1003
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: It takes so much less time, and that's this. That's

1004
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: the thing. I know it's loud. I know some people

1005
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: hate it, but it's not If you don't pull it

1006
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: out at six am or one am, then it's not

1007
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: a huge deal because yeah, it's not like you're going

1008
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: to be working for because it's so quick. It's like,

1009
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, ten minutes done max.

1010
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 2: It is fun. It's super fun to seeing them fly everywhere.

1011
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 2: I will say the rake keeps them more contained. I

1012
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 2: maybe that's why leaf blowing can sometimes take a long time.

1013
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: I feel like I blow my leaves from one end

1014
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 2: of the lawn over to the other end, and then

1015
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 2: they've gone too far, So now I got to haul

1016
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 2: them back into the middle of it. And then you

1017
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 2: got to go for the rake to actually lock these

1018
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: things down and get into a nice pile to jump.

1019
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: I hear you. I hear that it's hard to contain them,

1020
00:48:54,760 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 1: but I say, blow them if you got them.

1021
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1022
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: The electrical I have one electric on to JD and

1023
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: they're loud. They're just loud. You can't you can't get

1024
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: around it anyway. See if you're listening right now here,

1025
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: they are a better soundtrack. You think you can fall

1026
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: asleep to a leaf blower like it? Do you think

1027
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: there's not?

1028
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 3: Because I think it's that inconsistent like ah and low

1029
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,919
Speaker 3: high low high.

1030
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: You know there's not a leaf blower setting on a

1031
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: white noise machine.

1032
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 3: Well, no, it's more the consistent noise, that's the thing,

1033
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 3: you know. And you know sometimes when they move a

1034
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: little bit further away, it's a little bit softer, and

1035
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: then it gets really loud when it's just out of

1036
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 3: your window. So yeah, and it'd be just frustrating that

1037
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 3: that inconsistent noise is what drives you crazy, you keep

1038
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 3: you awake all night.

1039
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: All right, that's stuff out there. Moving on. Let me

1040
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: let me jump in with my most improved player pick,

1041
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 1: because I think it's got a bit of ogn Andobi

1042
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: vibes as well. But the hot pick even last year

1043
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: was Michael Porter Junior. And I think it actually happens

1044
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: this year because after two seasons on the floor, he's

1045
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: only played two seasons because he was hurt for his

1046
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: first season. He signed a monster extension this sawseason. He's

1047
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 1: making thirty million over the next five seasons, thirty plus.

1048
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: So to me, even when I saw that, I thought, wow,

1049
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: Michael Poort Junior. Very good. But they're going to pay

1050
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 1: Jokic Maxi money, Murray maxim money. They just extended Aaron Gordon.

1051
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: Is he worth it? He definitely is. He should even

1052
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: improve from last year, which was really good. It kind

1053
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: of goes under the radar how good he was. He

1054
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: was nineteen points on fifty four from the floor in

1055
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 1: forty four from three, which is good enough, but the

1056
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: second half over forty three games, he got even better,

1057
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: twenty one points on fifty six and forty seven from three,

1058
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: he was nearly the best three point shooter in the game,

1059
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: just behind Joe Harris. That's the most efficient season on

1060
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: shooting numbers, manufacturing the three point shot for twenty three

1061
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: year old, scoring at least seventeen points a game. So

1062
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: I know there's some factors in there, but Sam Fassini

1063
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: pointed that out. I mean, the guy is just ridiculously efficient.

1064
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: Guys have scored more, obviously at twenty three years old,

1065
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: but with those percentages, you're hitting nearly one out of

1066
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: two three point shots, and I think it's only going

1067
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: to go up. With Jamal Murray sitting out this year.

1068
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: He can be Nikoli Jokich's absolute number one guy. And

1069
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: he's the perfect partner for Yokic because he just moves

1070
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: off the ball. He just keeps going, So I wonder

1071
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: how high those numbers can go. He is so so smooth.

1072
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: I can't get Kadi out of my head when I

1073
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: watch him play, because he's he's gonna be a twenty

1074
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: five points per game guy this year. He had nineteen

1075
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: last year, so I could easily see him winning it

1076
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: even though he's he's the favorite and that's probably not

1077
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: a good thing when it comes to this award. Guys

1078
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: they want to be a bit of a surprise. But

1079
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: according to bet MGM, he's the favorite. It seemed like

1080
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: he was the favorite last year. I don't know if

1081
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: anybody else picked him last year, but I think I did,

1082
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: and I'm sure a lot of other people did, because

1083
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's got the talent, and he's staying on

1084
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: the floor and he's playing a little bit of defense,

1085
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: and Jamal Murray's out, so I think he's going to

1086
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: put up some monsters.

1087
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 2: Well, the Murray thing is so big too, because he

1088
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: kind of went out right around the All Star break

1089
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 2: last year. So you can look at Michael Porter Junior's

1090
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 2: All Star or post All Star splits twenty two a game,

1091
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: almost eight rebounds, and he shot fifty six percent from

1092
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 2: the field, like he had a great overall season. But

1093
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: he was lights out once Jamal Murray finally went down.

1094
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 2: He was a high recruit out of high school as well,

1095
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: potential as a number one pick, but he dropped it

1096
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 2: because of the injury concern. So as long as he's

1097
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 2: able to stay healthy, he's showing the potential that everybody

1098
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: thought he had.

1099
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: All right, the stream team is getting into it. Sam.

1100
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: You know, no calling Michael Porter Junior the twig. We're

1101
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: looking for nicknames here. I don't think that one's going

1102
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: to stick, but I appreciate the effort. So let's take

1103
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: a quick break after it. We'll talk the player that

1104
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:01,240
Speaker 1: needs a nickname and our dumbest bold predictions for the season.

1105
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. You're back with no ducks. I've

1106
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: teased it plenty. Which player needs a nickname? Trey?

1107
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have tooken a look at the doc

1108
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 2: for today's show yesterday when I pitched my nickname for

1109
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, I should have just saved it. But thankfully

1110
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 2: Nick Buchanelli hooked me up with an incredible photoshop, said,

1111
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 2: I found a photo of Anthony mister perfect Edwards, and

1112
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: having seen this, I now think it might stick. You know,

1113
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: he was a number one draft pick, so that's pretty perfect.

1114
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 2: He had a great season last year, and as we've seen,

1115
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 2: he is apparently great at bowling. He was apparently a

1116
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 2: great baseball player back in his youth days. And who

1117
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 2: knows what other sports Anthony Edwards might be great at.

1118
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 2: I would be happy to see them do some sort

1119
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 2: of interstitial, you know, every ten home games or something

1120
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: like that. Here's Anthony Edwards being great at another sport.

1121
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 2: So I'm happy with mister Perfect. I'm gonna try it

1122
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 2: on a few other times this year see if it sticks.

1123
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 2: But right now I'm loving it.

1124
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: And we talked about the fashion trend that could happen

1125
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: this year. We talked about yeah, the full sunglass face,

1126
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: the real v Steviano as you called it, Trey. You

1127
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: see that photoshop that we just showed you, and I'm

1128
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: sure we'll put it on social media as well. The

1129
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 1: singlet arrest sign. Yeah, a guy can pull that off

1130
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: in the nice blue Yeah. Yeah, that's a nice it's

1131
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: a nice look.

1132
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 2: That's nicely done.

1133
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,479
Speaker 1: Nick. I loved, loved mister Perfect. He was so good,

1134
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 1: so so good. Rest in peace to him, all right, Lee?

1135
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: Mm which player needs a nickname?

1136
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 3: Well, we we've talked about the Charlotte Hornets and James

1137
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 3: book Knight. How exactly many minutes he's gonna get is

1138
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 3: a little bit of a question. But when he is

1139
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,959
Speaker 3: out there, we know he's gonna throw down dunks because

1140
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 3: that's what he does. He's been awesome, He's already had

1141
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 3: had a couple of days, so I think he can

1142
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 3: become the James book night Rider because that night he's

1143
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 3: writing his opponents, So you know, I think they're the

1144
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 3: night writer the book night Rider. What about that one?

1145
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 3: I mean, shout out to David Hasselhoff. But I think

1146
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 3: it works. I think it fits and I can see

1147
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: Eric Collins night Rider, you know, so let's hope he

1148
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 3: plays and gives us that nickname. I think it can

1149
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 3: stick there.

1150
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 2: I think that would be awesome. That would be cool

1151
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,439
Speaker 2: to hear Eric Corlin's call it. And they could even

1152
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: do like, you know, like a little musical sting. And

1153
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 2: he told me he has a big playback do it,

1154
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: you know whatever? The note close enough. I've listened to

1155
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 2: it for thirty years or so.

1156
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: But that was it.

1157
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 3: But that song sort of came back in or that

1158
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 3: tune came back into a song I think about, I

1159
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe fifteen years ago, because it is a

1160
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 3: it is a theme like it's you Knew eight thirty

1161
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 3: on Tuesday nights on Channel ten night Rider in Australia.

1162
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: In Australia, Yeah, yeah, in the mid but yeah, if

1163
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: he rides someone like John Collins did in the preseason.

1164
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: Then book night It, Yeah, put it, put it down, Yeah,

1165
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: book it, book Night Night Rider's that's good stuff. My

1166
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: guy is Terrence Man. You know you're thinking now I'm

1167
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna drop some of them with Man in the nickname,

1168
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: like you know, like Lye did there with with knight Rider.

1169
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: But this guy is he's he's Swiss army knife like

1170
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's kind of got the Boris Diao

1171
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: thing about him because Doc Rivers played him at the

1172
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: one to start his career. He's played some small ball

1173
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: five he's like a six five guy, but he plays everywhere.

1174
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: He's he's more of a shooting guard, small forward, and

1175
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: I know he was kind of a flash in the pen.

1176
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: It seemed like he came on the scene late last

1177
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: year for you know, most of the NBA when he

1178
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: put away the Utah Jazz with thirty nine freaking points

1179
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: uh to seal that series in round number two, when

1180
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: his career high in the regular season was only twenty three.

1181
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: To that point, He's only made one point seven million

1182
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 1: bucks this year, So is he going to stick around?

1183
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: Of course he is. They just signed him to an extension.

1184
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: It's going to be making eleven million dollars in a

1185
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: couple of years a second round pick. So that's great

1186
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: for him as he's not just a flash in the pan.

1187
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: There's only two guys in the twenty nineteen draft that

1188
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: have been extended already, a couple of second round picks

1189
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: and THHD Taylor Horton Tucker and now Terrence Man. So

1190
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: he's going to force himself to play because he's just

1191
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: so good. He may take are Boltzl's starting spot. I

1192
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: don't know. With Kauhi, he's definitely gonna play a lot.

1193
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: Swiss army knife is cheap, it's cheesy, it feels dated,

1194
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's done. We're in the air

1195
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: of positionless basketball. That's that's too nerdy, don't I don't

1196
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: know where you go with that, Like mister versatility could

1197
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: could be good all purpose flower. I don't know, like

1198
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: something like like if we're asking flower, ad Flower, sure

1199
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: associated press flower. If we were talking with our friend

1200
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: Joel McMillan, I would say he would call him Jamie

1201
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: Fox because Joel McMillan thinks Jamie Fox is the most

1202
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: talented actor out there, because he's multi talented. I think

1203
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: Terrence Man, he's got he's got the one through five vibes.

1204
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a good nickname. I'm looking for you

1205
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: guys to put it out there like that. He's not

1206
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: Boris Sto because he's not like the most interesting man,

1207
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: but he is that Swiss army kie kind of guy.

1208
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to just say that, you know, Doseki

1209
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: says a nickname like I don't know, I don't know

1210
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: what it is, but it's like, you know, it's like

1211
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: Tony Phillips playing baseball is mister Utility. It's like that

1212
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: kind of thing for me. But he brings the energy

1213
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: to I don't know, I don't have a good one,

1214
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: but he's I don't want to force the man thing either,

1215
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 1: sure easy. Yeah.

1216
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of the most versatile things in

1217
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 2: my house, and I just keep thinking about a long

1218
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: sleeve T shirt because you can wear it any time

1219
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:57,479
Speaker 2: of year. So maybe long sleeve team Man. I don't

1220
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 2: think that one will stick. But I like this from E. J. Martino.

1221
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 2: Since Josh Hart is such a good rebounder, what about

1222
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 2: the heartworm? That's not bad? Eight rebounds a game last

1223
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: year for a six foot five player.

1224
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: The heartwork the heartworm?

1225
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was nearly beefing. I think a couple

1226
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 3: of times.

1227
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 2: He had like a seventeen or an eighteen game something

1228
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 2: like that.

1229
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do like the long sleeved tea for Terrence

1230
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: Man because we had JD on the show yesterday saying

1231
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: that his long sleeve no dunks f one t is

1232
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: versatile all year around. Is he could wear it? Or

1233
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: the sweater it's not a tea, sorry, it's a sweater.

1234
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: That's a fully hoodie that he could wear all year around,

1235
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 1: a long sleever, though it's true.

1236
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 4: What about what about leather man, because you know the leatherman.

1237
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 4: I know it's there's a different connotation there, but there

1238
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 4: is a there is. It's kind of like a Swiss

1239
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 4: army knife, a leatherman, and you get the man in

1240
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 4: there and leatherman and he can wear leather.

1241
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't mind it. I've got a leather man I

1242
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 2: take out when I'm fishing. Gotta you know, some pliers

1243
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 2: got a nail file for some reason, just in case

1244
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 2: you need to trim things up if you're out there

1245
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,479
Speaker 2: on the lake. I don't mind it.

1246
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Nice, nice JD Well other man, All right, final one

1247
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: here before we wrap it up. What is your dumbest,

1248
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: bold prediction for the season. We'll start us off. I've

1249
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 1: got some dumb ones, and it has been said, I

1250
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: said Ricky Rubio will make his first All Star team. Yeah, yeah,

1251
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: it's dumb bold, yeah, full full stop. Yeah, it's bold.

1252
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be bold here, you gotta be stupid. You

1253
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: might ask who the heck does Ricky Rubio play for.

1254
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: That's fair. He got trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now,

1255
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: my thinking was that here he's going to be turning

1256
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: thirty one. Now, this would be his time to do it.

1257
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 1: If Colin Sexton gets done. Now, Colin Sexton is their

1258
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: starting point guard. He might get extended even before the

1259
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: deadline here in a few days. So if he's there,

1260
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: then it's not going to happen. But I just want

1261
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: to know who the Cavs are choosing as their building blocks,

1262
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: because let's say they get rid of Colin Sexton and

1263
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: it's Rubio with guys who desperately need passes, like Jared

1264
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: Allen and Evan Mobley and Isaacacoro. If he's starting with

1265
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: those guys plus Darius Garland, if those who they're building

1266
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: are who they're building around, and they get a start

1267
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,960
Speaker 1: like they did last year where they're ten and eleven.

1268
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's I know that sounds dumb, but there

1269
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: was some talk about Colin Sexton being an All Star

1270
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: because yeah, he's a great score. He's a different player

1271
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 1: than Ricky Rubio obviously, but then the team went twelve

1272
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: and thirty nine the rest of the way, and I'm

1273
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: not sure how Colin Sexton fits in the future there

1274
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: three years in is he going to get extended Ricky Rubio?

1275
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 1: You might ask how high has his points per game

1276
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 1: total ever been. It's not hot. It's thirteen points per yeah. Yeah,

1277
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: so he would have to be one of those guys

1278
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: who do it all fifteen points per game type guy.

1279
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: But he'll be good for Kevin Pangos as a I'm

1280
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: just on the Canadian bent right now. That's a nick

1281
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: easy nickname Bengos if he ever he ever played. He's

1282
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 1: a point guard who's played abroad for a bit at

1283
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: a Gounzaga. I think so, I don't know. I do

1284
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: believe in in a lot of the Cleveland front court

1285
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: and Evin Mobley and I think Rubio would be great

1286
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: with them, But this is the year. This is like

1287
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: Mike Conley Part two. But Mike Conley got a heck

1288
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: of a lot closer and he finally made it last year.

1289
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: So my dumb pick Rubio makes the All Star team

1290
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: probably not gonna happen. Who can beat that? Or you know,

1291
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: it's just something, something a little bit more feasible. Anybody, Trey,

1292
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: what you got?

1293
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 2: Something a little bit more feasible. I can't believe I'm

1294
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 2: saying this, but I think we're gonna get sixty plus

1295
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Weggies this season. Last year we set the record shout

1296
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 2: out to Weggie tracker dot com, fifty eight Wedgie in

1297
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: a seventy two game season. And it definitely feels like

1298
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 2: the Weggies have been popping off already in the preseason.

1299
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 2: We've had maybe five already with the new Wilson Basketball

1300
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 2: Wilson Wedgies, the W's are there. Maybe they made it

1301
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 2: an extra sticky ball. I think we're going sixty plus

1302
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 2: this year. We got another ten games, We've obviously got

1303
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs which count. So it was a special season

1304
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: last year. It will feel crazy if we somehow, you know,

1305
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 2: get back to that level. But I think it's possible

1306
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 2: we're going over sixty this year.

1307
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:38,479
Speaker 1: Fixes in fix this in. That's right, balls are softer.

1308
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Something's going on, yeah, because they're on that pace to

1309
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: obviously obliterate sixty So could happen. I guess, Lee, what

1310
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: do you got?

1311
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 3: So I like to sort of go with the three

1312
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 3: pointers in some sort of record there. And last season,

1313
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Steph Curry in sixty three games alone, made three hundred

1314
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 3: and thirty seven threes. For a normal two game season,

1315
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 3: he would have been on pace for around four hundred

1316
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 3: and thirty four, which would have eclipsed his own record

1317
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 3: he set back in the day of four hundred and two.

1318
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 3: And of course we're in the three point era right now.

1319
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 3: So last season Steph was the only guy to make

1320
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 3: three hundred or more threes, but again it was a

1321
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 3: shortened season. This season, I'm saying we're going to get

1322
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 3: ten guys make three hundred or more threes. Because I

1323
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 3: looked at the amount of the amount of players who

1324
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 3: had to average around three point I sort of went

1325
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 3: down to three point five because I think they can

1326
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 3: all crank that up to three point six to get

1327
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 3: that three hundred mark, and I think we're going to

1328
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 3: get it. I mean, this is like last year for

1329
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 3: a list of guys who made at least two hundred

1330
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 3: or more. Obviously Staff and Buddy Healed and Lilard Duncan, Robinson,

1331
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 3: Terry Rozier, Jordan Clark's and Tim Hardaway, Junior Zach Lavigne

1332
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 3: even had two hundred, and then there's so many other

1333
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 3: guys who would have made two hundred or more if

1334
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 3: they've played. CJ. McCollum only played forty seven games at

1335
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:56,959
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty nine. He was at that three

1336
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 3: point six mark. So there are plenty of guys. Fred

1337
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 3: van Fleet himself three point three games, they're not quite there,

1338
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 3: but he only played fifty two games and had one

1339
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy four. So I think we're going to

1340
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 3: have ten guys make three hundred or more three pointers

1341
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:11,960
Speaker 3: this season. Is that crazy?

1342
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1343
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if it feels crazy or it's like

1344
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 3: that's just where the game's going. Anyway.

1345
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 2: What is the most that has that has hit three

1346
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 2: hundred threes in a season? You know what I'm saying?

1347
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: How many players? Has it ever been ten or more

1348
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 2: three hundred?

1349
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 3: No? No, in fact, it's I think it's Steph and

1350
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 3: then Clay did it. In fact, I don't I don't

1351
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 3: even think anyone else has actually hit three hundred or

1352
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 3: more in a season other than Steph if I remember correctly.

1353
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: Game other than that would be very bored.

1354
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, very very But you know, when you're getting guys

1355
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 3: like Duncan Robinson, for example, I think he's almost a

1356
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 3: lock to do it this season because that's all he does,

1357
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 3: you know. And you know, again, guys need to play

1358
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 3: pretty much the full lady two games and hit that

1359
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 3: three point six mark to do it. But there's going

1360
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 3: to be guys, as we see, there's always someone who

1361
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 3: just pops up for ten here and there, and guys

1362
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 3: do it. So okay, aj Santiago here is saying James

1363
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 3: Harden did it, so that obviously makes sense. And he's

1364
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 3: the only other one to do it.

1365
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 2: So that has done it four times, Hardened once and

1366
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 2: Harden also had two ninety nine one season.

1367
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah tough one. Yeah, so yeah, it's bold to get

1368
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 1: to ten. Wow, ten, Yeah, it'd be huge. Yeah, Dame

1369
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: hasn't done it. Surprisingly, two seventy five looks like his high.

1370
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of threes. Yeah all right, that's fun,

01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 3: on TV, there was nothing.

1391
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:30,720

1393
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 3: to this. But now there's so many other distractions. I'm like,

1394
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 3: you know, it's just not quite the same, doesn't quite

1395
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 3: have me here. But we'll see. We'll say it's the

1396
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 3: season on faults.

1397
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Maybe a good time this week though, for going into

1398
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 1: next week, because it's probably a merge happening. Am I right?

1399
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean not to no buffs it, but just gotta

1400
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: be gotta be getting closer.

1401
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hi don't know, there's thirteen left. I think they're

1402
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 4: going to wait till for twelve and they are all

1403
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 4: three tried to know it. Well, let's not talk about

1404
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 4: it here. Oh, I know people are saying no spoilers,

1405
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 4: so yeah, and I think they're as possible we'll get

1406
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 4: emerged next week, but I you know, I think it's

1407
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 4: I think is more likely the week after. That's my

1408
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 4: two sids.

1409
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: You guys are the experts. I just was looking at

1410
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: the numbers and yeah, won't go go go deeper into

1411
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: the numbers than they're thirteen left. But because of one

1412
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: situation that's happening, that was entertaining that there could be

1413
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 1: a merge coming up, and now the tribes going no,

1414
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: And after that happens, no one cares about the tribe

1415
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: names anyway. Right, the tribe names are.

1416
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 2: Done, they will rebrand.

1417
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, interesting, I forgot about that. Okay, cool, let

1418
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: me get I forgot about Skeet's dumb bold prediction because

1419
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: I know he wants to get this in because it

1420
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: relates to earsily. Someone hits fifteen three pointers in a

1421
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,639
Speaker 1: game to Eclipse Clavey Renker. I think that's it's kind

1422
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: of said. People hope that happens year to year, and

1423
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: then he wrote, also, this is the year Tim Hardaway

1424
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: Junior scores fifty.

1425

Speaker 3: Point Yeah, classic classic, Yeah you have Sim Hardaway. He's

1426
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,479

1427
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 3: gonna have thirty five point halfs a couple of those.

1428
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,679
