Speaker 1: did lose November's hick Him battle coming in dead last

14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: got off to.

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: A slow start.

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Mm hm, you were oh and ten, maybe oh and

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: eleven at one point finish strong for being honest, but

18
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: because you lost November, you got to pay it off

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: with a goatee.

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: Whoa and let's be honest. Looks. I got a call.

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I look exactly the same.

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: I've always kept a short beard to maintain my youth,

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: and I kind of feel like I'm back in college

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: here on the sides though. Yeah, I listen, I left

25
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: it a little bit thick right here. I didn't go

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: for it. It was a bit of a whist move. I

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: could have thind it out of it. I could have

28
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 4: gone my Zion Williamson.

29
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Did you think about dying it?

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 4: I talked about that. Yeah, I talked about that with

31
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: everybody I know. But I didn't have it in me.

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 3: I guess I could have.

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: I could have gone the guy Ferry or whatever. Really cool,

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: but yeah, I was a little disappointed. I thought i'd

35
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: have a stronger jawline. Nope, not angular. That did not happen.

36
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: So here I am.

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: But I do feel like I'm back in college, that's

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: for sure. That was a college move for me. This

39
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 4: is like twenty years ago. I thought I wore a

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: shirt that I would wear in college today.

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: So I feel like I'm back cool man.

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Like that music selection, JD. I thought you might go

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: R and B.

44
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: Well, we didn't know what we were getting when he

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: walked through the Yeah, so R and B evil?

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew he wasn't gonna look evil unless I

47
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: look the same.

48
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd buy insurance for you.

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Okay, so they do.

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: But it was exciting when you were ten oh and eleven,

51
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: and there was talk of Trey and I having to

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: also do a goate.

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: If you ran the entire month without a win.

54
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: It would have been way worse if it was Trey,

55
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 4: especially with a much more thorough beard.

56
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: Would definitely been a new metal look.

57
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: That would have been easy. Did you get that idea?

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: Actually, I've seen great metal videos on Instagram of Greeks

59
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: playing metal, like Greeks in Melbourne, like men in Togas

60
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: in a metal band. Basically, that's my rabbit hole for

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: the I.

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: Guess, all right, so has a go to.

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: But we had a couple of weggies to show you,

64
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: guys from the break. We've been gone for a little while,

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: so we're going back to Thanksgiving Eve. And this was

66
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Molik Monk sticking the floater weggie. That was weggie number

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: sixteen on the season.

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: Oh wait to pop it in there? Good stuff. And

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: then this was last night.

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: This was Sunday, another King's player, Keegan Murray going for

71
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: the dunk. Zach Edy I think got a piece of it.

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Didn't go into the play by play as a block though,

73
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: or into the box score. So it's Keegan Murray's dunk

74
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: attempt weggie and we're up to seventeen on the season.

75
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: For podcast listeners, I just want to paint the picture

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: of Keig and Murray gets blocked, falls to the ground,

78
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: lying on the ground, and then he has to look

79
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: up at a wedgy.

80
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: He's just like staring at it. That's awful.

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: What's incredible right now too? The Sacramento Kings have five

82
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: wedgies this season. Sacramento Kings have five wins this season. Wow,

83
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: same amount of weggies.

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: As a wins. And they have five different guys that

85
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: have had a weggie too. It is crazy.

86
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: So they are carrying our weggie number right now. That's

87
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: five to seventeen. Pretty good percentage of the wedges are fantastic.

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into weekend winners. We'll do losers, laters.

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you guys in the stream team right now,

90
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: your weekend winners and losers. I'll get a started here

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: today because I want to go back to Friday Night.

92
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Tangible Cup Intensity is a winner of the weekend. We

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: had four teams that were victorious Friday Night, claimed group

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: stage wins and advanced to the knockout rounds. In the East,

95
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: the Magic defeated the Pistons behind a big game from

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: Desmond Bain. They took Group B. The Knicks also advanced

97
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: to the knockout stage with a win over the Bucks.

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: The Heat advanced as a wildcard team from the East

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: with a three to one record. In the West, Thunder

100
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: came out of Group A thanks to a tight win

101
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: over the Suns. Spurs got a huge one thirty nine

102
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: one thirty six road win over the Nugge. It's to

103
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: take the Group of Death and then the wildcard spot

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: claimed by Phoenix because of a plus thirty one point differential.

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: So that's the bracket right there. Here's the schedule.

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: We don't play these games until next week Tuesday, December

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: ninth and Wednesday, December tenth, So we have the East

108
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: top seed Orlando. They're gonna host Miami, and then New

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: York will visit Toronto following day OKC hosting Phoenix, so

110
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: they play again here, which was very funny. If you

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: saw the clip of SGA and JDub finding out about that, they.

112
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: Were like, what what do you mean?

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: Anyway, followed by San Antonio playing in La versus the Lakers.

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: Good games on Friday night, Cat did you have a

115
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: favorite of the bunch.

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: I gotta go MAVs Lakers, considering it was an Amazon

117
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: broadcast game.

118
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Bucksley, So sorry, my bad. Sorry, Yeah, yes, I was

119
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: thinking one of the games that got somebody through. But yes,

120
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: mass Lakers continue.

121
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: We're talking about Luca versus the MAVs here as a

122
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 4: big game. It's Amazon, Everyone's talking about it. Luca basically

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: said prior to this game before after his last NBA

124
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: Cup game, saying, I slip on these courts. So the

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: Lakers literally had to remove the court because of that,

126
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: because their superstar was doing that. He comes out, he

127
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: throws an Ali up to Lebron. I mean that looked phenomenal.

128
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves was dancing with Klay Thompson. That was phenomenal.

129
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag with his MIDI game, which we'll get to

130
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: as a winner because he looked awesome. But this was

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: a close game down to the wire, Anthony Davis with

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: a big block, Lakers go on to win it. But

133
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 4: I just thought that as a whole considering Amazon Prime

134
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: is more of the NBA Cup feature broadcaster, and they

135
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 4: have made it more of a thing this year. They

136
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: hit back to back homers Nicks Bucks and then this

137
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: one Mas Lakers. Yeah, I think that was the one

138
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: that stood out to me the most.

139
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Got you surprised you with that pick because the Lakers

140
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: were already moving on to the knockout stage.

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: I thought you take one of the others.

142
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 3: Again, Luca versus the mad and it turned out to

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: be he had the.

144
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: Cup drama, the Cup court drama that you had pointed

145
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: out last week.

146
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: He has complained about slippery since the start of the

147
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 4: NBA Cup, since the inception in twenty twenty three, back

148
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: to back to back jams. Then they take off the

149
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: court to say the superstar he needs to have a

150
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: court he doesn't slip on.

151
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: So are they going to have the court fixed by

152
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 1: next Wednesday when they host the Spurs.

153
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: That's the question. Are they going to have rip it up?

154
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, sand it or they're just going

155
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: to play on their normal code court. Interesting. I bet

156
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: they'll probably play on their normal court.

157
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: It is interesting.

158
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: It's all about Luca, right, because because I have other

159
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: guys really been complaining. I noted Jalen Brown has done

160
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: it once in the three years, but other than that,

161
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 4: there hasn't been many. I don't know, I don't know

162
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: if there's been any other ones. Really, Lucas says other

163
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: guys are slipping, It's more.

164
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: Likely it's Luca's shoes than it is the slippery cord. Interesting. Okay,

165
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: what about you favorite game for Friday Night?

166
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: Well, like Tas, I was a good consumer, can just

167
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 5: watching these Amazon goods all day. I didn't take in

168
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: the Skins game, but I did see the Bears beat

169
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 5: the Eagles straight into the NBA Cup Action it was great.

170
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: The other game I would throw in the mix Thunder Suns,

171
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 5: I thought was really awesome just because we're actually seeing

172
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: the Thunder play in close games in the fourth quarter.

173
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: You can even throw in if you want to.

174
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: Their game on Wednesday against the Timberwolves, another game where

175
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: Shaikl just Alexander actually had to play and the fourth

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 5: quarter Sons weren't ultimately able to pull off the comeback,

177
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 5: but they made it close.

178
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: And you know, the.

179
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 5: Sons recently hadn't had very many wins against five hundred teams.

180
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 5: But they're a scrappy team. They play hard, They've given

181
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 5: everybody fits, and I thought it was interesting to see

182
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: them play such a close game against each other and

183
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 5: then they're gonna to throw down again.

184
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: Pretty exciting.

185
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 5: Weird how the matchups work out for some of this stuff,

186
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: like the Knicks and the Raptors are gonna have to

187
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: play again after just playing again over this weekend. It's

188
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 5: like we can't show all of our cards and reveal

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: our Cup strategies. But yeah, I thought the Thunder actually

190
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 5: having to go out and win some games in the

191
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, and they're both of their Cup matchups over

192
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 5: the weekend.

193
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: It's pretty sweet.

194
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: So there are eight teams obviously left with a chance

195
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: to win the Cup. I want to get your opinion

196
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: on who do you have winning? Is the obvious answer.

197
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Just run with the Thunder because they are the favorites

198
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: on FanDuel minus one thirty one I checked. Then Lakers

199
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: plus five to fifty, Magic plus seven hundred, Nicks plus

200
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: seven to fifty.

201
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: Then it goes.

202
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: Raptors, Heat Spurs, the Suns long shots to win the Cup.

203
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: I mean they got to get by okay, see of

204
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: course first plus six thousand. But who would you pick

205
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: to win this thing? You're three of the Cup.

206
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be Nick's Thunder in the final.

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: The Knicks are talking about this a lot. They have

208
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: noted that they respect the Cup. They got so many

209
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: guys talking about it. I will take okay. See though,

210
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: considering they've lost one game so far this season, the

211
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 4: Blazers couldn't take them out twice, they beat them once,

212
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: they couldn't take them out on Sunday. And the Thunder

213
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: have something to play for. They got to the final

214
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: last year they lost, so there's that. If it gives

215
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: them a little bit of motivation, and maybe, as Trey said,

216
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 4: these close games that they've played in recently helps a

217
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 4: little to some degree, at least they're playing for something,

218
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: because yeah, they've been spanking everybody, and now they've had

219
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: some close games too.

220
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: Okay, taking the Thunder their favorites, So you're backing, Okac

221
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: or are you swerving here?

222
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: I'm swerving.

223
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 5: Give me the Lakers, like you said, second favorite on

224
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 5: FanDuel plus five point fifty. They just got Lebron back

225
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 5: and Hartenstein's going to be out. I assume for a

226
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 5: Cup matchup, assuming that both the Lakers and the Thunder

227
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: get through in their first round matchups, I wouldn't think

228
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: the Thunder they should be the favorites. You know, they're

229
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: twenty and one they can lose in the Cup final

230
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: once again, it doesn't even matter, right, beautiful record this year,

231
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 5: but give me the Lakers. They're clicking right now. That

232
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 5: game on Friday was super impressive. Integrating Lebron has been very,

233
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 5: very smooth. No surprise. This will be a huge step

234
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: up in competition for the Lakers should they end up

235
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 5: meeting the Thunder in round two of Cup Action. But

236
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 5: I like the way they've been playing, and it's only

237
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: one game, Like if they played in a series, sure

238
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 5: everybody would take the Thunder. It's got to be tough

239
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 5: to beat them four out of seven times, but beating

240
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: them once, yeah, you just need to have one great gain.

241
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: And Luca and Reeves have been playing awesome together the

242
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: entire year. Now they got Lebron back as well.

243
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: Do you think players are caring more about the Cup

244
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: than they have in years prior equal amounts of care.

245
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 2: Less care Like I saw this sort of discourse.

246
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: Going around obviously the social media channels on Friday night

247
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: when a lot of those games were good and like

248
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: it was a lot of like stakes were in play

249
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: to advance or win your group and move on, and

250
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: like obviously the Pistons Magic game was great, came down

251
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: to the wire.

252
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: Do you buy that? Do you believe it is this working?

253
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: I guess I think so.

254
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: I think the players know more about the NBA Cup

255
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: because they're making this more of a production, not just

256
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: the Amazon TV deal. And you have as a broadcaster

257
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: now the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, because literally I can't

258
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 4: remember if the same broadcaster had the quarterfinals, semifinal, and

259
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: finals last year.

260
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: This year, it is more of a thing.

261
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: Going into Friday's broadcast, it was Taylor Rooks and four

262
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: somewhat recent NBA players right beside her in Nash, Dirk Blake,

263
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 4: and Eudonnas Haslin. This is more of a thing. In arena,

264
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: they talk about it more. This game is on Amazon,

265
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: this game is on NBC. You can hear the in

266
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: arena announcers talking about that. So everybody knows that this game,

267
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: these games are like that, and as I said, players

268
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: are talking about it more.

269
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: So, Yeah, it's more of a thing.

270
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 4: I think it's I think they've made this more of

271
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: an event, and that was part of the whole TV deal.

272
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: Let's focus on this.

273
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 5: So, yeah, were any of those guys still around when

274
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 5: the Cup started Haslam maybe like he his last year

275
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: was the first year.

276
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: Of the Cup.

277
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: Technically, yes, yes he was.

278
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: I wonder if he ever set foot in the Cup game.

279
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 5: I wonder if he ever felt the pressure from inside

280
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 5: the arena.

281
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: Did they ask him a question on the Amazon broadcast.

282
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: I don't know, but they say, hey, what does it

283
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 4: feel like playing in the NBA Cup. I don't know,

284
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: but he was active, but yeah, the heat. He didn't

285
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 4: get too far anyway.

286
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, everybody loves money. That's why they're fiving rich people. Yeah,

287
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 5: even rich people. Josh Hart apparently just got robbed. So

288
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 5: this guy really cares about the Cup right now. And

289
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 5: you hear in postgame interviews with all the players they

290
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: always bring it up, and it's always about the money.

291
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 5: Even Devin Booker, He's like, I'm making seventy five million dollars,

292
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: but not everybody's making seventy five million dollars. This means

293
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 5: a lot to Nigel Hayes Davis. So I think as

294
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 5: long as they keep the financial incentive, people are going

295
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 5: to care. And an Amazon paid a pretty penny to

296
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 5: get this, they should raise the purse. That's how you

297
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 5: keep them interested.

298
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do love when they show the bench in

299
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: these close games with you know it's on the line.

300
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: It's those guys at the end of the bench are

301
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: more into these games than your normal mid November late

302
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: November games, without a doubt, because there's a lot of

303
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: money online. You can win a ton if you're not

304
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: making as much as obviously Devin Booker is making seventy

305
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: plus billion. A little different to him. I'm sure it

306
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: goes to I don't know, maybe maybe he gives it

307
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: away or something like that. I'm not watching your pocketbook,

308
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: don't worry, but I assume there's a lot of like

309
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: sharing with the rest of the team, like the organization,

310
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: ball boys, equipment managers of that nature. Maybe I'm wrong,

311
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. And then final thing here on the Cup.

312
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Josh Hart, you brought him up. He had a little

313
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: twist to maybe raise the stakes even a little bit

314
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: more when it comes to the Cup, the winner of

315
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. He thinks you should get an advantage

316
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: in the regular season standings. Quote this is Josh Hart.

317
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: I think whoever's the winner gets a half game. You

318
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: get to the championship game, you get a half game

319
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: if you win, If you lose a championship, it doesn't

320
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: go against your record. Now you have that half game,

321
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: so you have the tiebreaker and it legitimizes that NBA

322
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: Cup just a little bit more end quote.

323
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: Thoughts on Josh Hart's.

324
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Idea here really like, don't worry about the half game.

325
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to do that in the standing.

326
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: It's just like you would get a tiebreaker in any

327
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: situation if you win the Cup.

328
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: Your thoughts.

329
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: I was buying into it.

330
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 4: The only weird part is the number one tiebreaker is

331
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: head to head. So let's say the Knicks played the

332
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Semis because they come to the same record at

333
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: the end of the year, but they played four times

334
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: and the Sixers are four and oh against the Knicks.

335
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: Somehow you get a half game above them. That part

336
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: is a little weird, But I kind of buy into

337
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: what Josh Hart is saying.

338
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: Right because it's not very drastic, is what he's suggesting.

339
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: So no, that's it a little bit of something that

340
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: could get you, I guess, from a play and into

341
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs or a seed higher or.

342
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: Whatever, which could be basic.

343
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't mind it. You get the Cup tiebreaker rule advantage.

344
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: I guess.

345
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess I would be furious if I

346
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 5: was the tenth seed and team got lucky and won

347
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 5: the Cup in December and then they bounced me for

348
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 5: the rest of the season.

349
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: Kind of.

350
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, unless your player happened to be hurt during the

351
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 5: one game that mattered. But sure, whatever, not really whatever,

352
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: I feel like, try anything for the NBA Cup.

353
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is if you're going to add something.

354
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: This was a better idea than I saw a float

355
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: in a round of like, uh, if you win the Cup,

356
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: it like basically bumps you up a tier, Like if

357
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: you win the Cup, you automatically get home court advantage

358
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: if you're a postseason team, or you automatically, if you're

359
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: a playing team get a home game. Yeah, I'm with you,

360
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: trans Like, that's to me, that's too extreme this.

361
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: I don't mind.

362
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: Sure, a tie breaker a little incentive, I guess.

363
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: Or a draft pick people have thrown out there.

364
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 5: I don't think that's incentivizing actually, because why do I care,

365
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 5: and that they're going to draft somebody to replace me.

366
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. This is all based around

367
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Nigel Hayes Davis.

368
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: Cup.

369
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: I think he respects it. I think so too.

370
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

371
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: I thought we'd say his name more this season, and

372
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: I didn't know what happened today when it comes to

373
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: Edga Cup.

374
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: But anyway, we got eight.

375
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: Like I think, Okay, I think it's gonna be very

376
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: difficult for the Suns to win this thing because everybody's

377
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: got to beat Okay, see here, But I do look

378
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: at the board and go, like Trey said, it's one

379
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: and done to advance. Could you sort of talk yourself

380
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: into six or seven of these teams winning, like just

381
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: going on a little magical run. I think, so these

382
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: are all pretty damn good teams, is my point here.

383
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: There was no team that was really been garbage this

384
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: year that just like, for whatever reason, did well in

385
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: their group and got through.

386
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: So I like that. I like that part.

387
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going. That's enough Cup talk

388
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: for now. We'll get more into that next week.

389
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: Trey. Another winner of the weekend.

390
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 5: Jalen Johnson, big time winning of the weekend. Two huge

391
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 5: games in two Hawks wins for JJ. He doesn't have

392
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 5: a nickname, U no Jalen Johnson. Fun to say his

393
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 5: full name. Trouble double on Friday against Cleveland went for

394
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 5: twenty nine at twelve and twelve assists found Zach Ricochet,

395
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 5: Nikhil Alexander Walker for back to back three so late

396
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 5: in this one.

397
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: That was pretty sweet.

398
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 5: Also on Sunday, a career high forty one points for

399
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 5: Jalen Johnson, a little bit aided by it being a

400
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 5: two overtime game. He did score twelve points in the

401
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 5: overtime periods, but also added fourteen rebounds evan assists in

402
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: the win over Philadelphia. The Hawks were up eight with

403
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 5: forty six seconds left, and I thought we were going

404
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 5: to see a team.

405
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: Blow in the eight point lead and lose.

406
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 5: Like we just saw who was at Suns versus Timberwolves,

407
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 5: like hadn't happened in three thousand games.

408
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: It did happen.

409
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 5: Hawks gave back the eight points, but Jalen saved him

410
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: in the overtime periods. Had five in the first overtime,

411
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 5: including a couple of clutch free throws to tie the game.

412
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: Send it in doublet where he scored seven, hit two

413
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 5: big threes, including not including, but added a dish to

414
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 5: Dyson Daniels underneath for basically the dagger layup. In fifteen

415
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: games without Trey Young, Jalen Johnson's at twenty four points

416
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 5: a game, ten rebounds, eight assists, fifty three from the field,

417
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 5: forty eight from three. Dude's awesome in transition. We know

418
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: that he's getting a dunk, a big time dunk, every

419
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 5: single game. He's so big and strong, it's like Lebron

420
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: running the break. He's a pretty solid passer, I think

421
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 5: when he's on the move as well, but it really

422
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: feels like the game has slowed down for him in

423
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 5: the half court. He's very patient getting to his spots

424
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: and he's he's become a really good passer, particularly in traffic.

425
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 5: Like I think the dish to Daniels is kind of

426
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 5: indicative of the way he's been playing, Like he draws

427
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 5: a crowd, he gets in the lane and is strong

428
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 5: enough with the ball to hang on to it and

429
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 5: find a cutter. Daniels has been really benefited, I think

430
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 5: playing as the number two guy outside of Jalen Johnson,

431
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 5: just because with Trey Young, it's like Pat dribble, dribble,

432
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: dribble pro pro probe find a shooter. Daniels is hitting

433
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 5: these cuts with Johnson all the time, and it's been

434
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 5: really really impressive. Hawks have gone ten and five without

435
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 5: Trey young. We just found out that they're going to

436
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: be reevaluating him in two more weeks, so we get

437
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 5: to see a little bit more Jalen Johnson, which I

438
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: think is pretty nice for the Hawks. He's definitely an

439
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 5: All Star right now, and I think a big part

440
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 5: of what's going on is that he's actually been able

441
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 5: to stay on the court for a nice stretch of

442
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 5: games here. We've seen him show flashes of potential. He

443
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 5: was a near All Star last year, but now that

444
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 5: he's staying healthy after a little bout earlier in the season,

445
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: he's putting it all together and becoming more than just

446
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: an ath like he's a really, really solid basketball player.

447
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is absolutely slowed down for him. You can

448
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: see it.

449
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: Even the play that drew him those key free throws

450
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 4: in overtime was a slowdown and a pump fake on

451
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,239
Speaker 4: Dominic Barlow, and he got He got him, and as

452
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 4: he went to the free throw line, Nick Nurse tried

453
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: to ice him. He called the time out. Jalen Johnson

454
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 4: goes to the free throw line, no problem, doesn't even

455
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 4: think about it. Bang bang. Then he hits a big

456
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 4: shot in the second overtime. It was a three and

457
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: he was talking smack right to the Sixers bench. I

458
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: don't think it was to Nick Nurse, but it was

459
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: right to the Sixers bench, And yeah, you could see

460
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 4: he's got all the confidence in the world to slow down,

461
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: whether it's at the free throw line, whether it's doing

462
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 4: that type of thing. That's why he looks better because

463
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: we know in the transition he's fantastic. But if the

464
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: game is slowing down for him, like it definitely is.

465
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 4: It has changed with Trey Young out because he's had

466
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: more responsibility and it has been a stretch here where

467
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 4: he's had the ball in his hands way more for

468
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: a good stretch. The whole injury is a freaking real

469
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 4: deal with this guy, unfortunately, because that's that's a factor.

470
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: But this team looks different. They could have been a

471
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 4: winner of the weekend. Keel Alexander Acker was freaking awesome

472
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 4: in both their games. It was fun that Friday. I

473
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: didn't mention that Friday game against the Cavs. That was

474
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 4: just fun in general. That was a great NBA Cup game.

475
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hunter, back in Atlanta for the first time, got

476
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: a big dunk on Mogay the game him a tribute video,

477
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 4: and then he was like watching him on the bench.

478
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 4: I don't think he liked it. I don't think he

479
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 4: liked a tribute video at all. It's like, yeah, I

480
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: played five and a half years here, I stunk. No,

481
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 4: he didn't think that, but I really wonder what was

482
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: he thinking. Anyway, The Hawks look fantastic, Jones Johnthon looks fantastic.

483
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: Back to that Sixers Hawks game, there's some weird officiating mistakes.

484
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: I guess let's call him in that one end of regulation,

485
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: the officials didn't give Nick Nurse his timeout request. He

486
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: was going crazy on the sidelines trying to get a

487
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: timeout with like two or three seconds left, but Paul

488
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: George ended up just chucking a heave. Yeah, that obviously

489
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: did go down at the fourth quarter buzzer, so they.

490
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: Were upset about that.

491
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: And then you brought it up already trying to ice

492
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: Jellen Johnson in the first overtime at the line, but

493
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: the officials thought Nick Nurse was challenging the call, so

494
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: they go replay the review and it's like later determined

495
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: that it is an accidental review. It's like Nick Nurse

496
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: didn't ask for it. So James Caper's postgame has to

497
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: tell like the Pool reporter. Yeah, there was a miscommunication

498
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: amongst the officials. We thought when Nurse called the time

499
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: out that he wanted to challenge the play. I bring

500
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: all this up because the accidental review initially changed the

501
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: time to one point one seconds left on the clock.

502
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: It where it was going to be left on the clock,

503
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: so maybe something you could do with that, But because

504
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't an actual challenge, it went back to the

505
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: point three and then so there are sort of upset

506
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: about that.

507
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: It was not a great work there, I thought from

508
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 2: James Capers.

509
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: And his.

510
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 2: Trying to pull James Yeah, so yeah, but anyway, the

511
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: Hawks pulled it up.

512
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah it took forever.

513
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: Oh man, yes it did.

514
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, and I won.

515
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: A five hour game. It felt like I truly can't believe.

516
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 3: I'll check at this point.

517
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: Was the easiest way to help, like, not fix the NBA.

518
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: The NBA is great, we are getting great games, but

519
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: like the first thing Silver should do and we are

520
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: a goddamn broken record on the show, or at least

521
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: I am specifically like obviously, cut back on these reviews,

522
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: cut back on the amount of timeouts teams can call

523
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: down the stretch, like I can't. I can't stand when

524
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: like you're allowed to call back to back timeouts because

525
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: you can't inbound a ball, like like these games just

526
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: take forever sometimes forever, and it's like this should be

527
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: the most exciting part of a game and it turns

528
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: into the worst, and they could so easily speed it

529
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: up a little bit.

530
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 3: So anyway, it was three hours.

531
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: Hate it so much.

532
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: But we watch a lot of basketball, so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

533
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 4: it was three hours and three minutes in total overtime.

534
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: But yeah, I guess yeah, but we do watch a

535
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 4: lot of basketball.

536
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: So I was.

537
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: Wondering, as they're going to do the review and their

538
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 4: flipping between point three seconds and one point one seconds,

539
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: I thought I was going nuts. I thought I was

540
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 4: getting it wrong. It's just it is too much, And

541
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 4: I thought maybe that helps out the seventy six ers. Yeah,

542
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: they didn't try and challenge it, but they reviewed it.

543
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: So they just gave more minutes for Jalen Johnson to

544
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 4: sit there and hang out before he hit free throws,

545
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: and I thought maybe that ice maybe, But he was good.

546
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: He definitely looked over the bench like get him up

547
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: after both of them.

548
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he was wide open on both of them,

549
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 5: so surely they were trying to heckle him. You can't

550
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 5: make this wide open shot. No, he made him their swishes,

551
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 5: I think on both of them. Joel Embiid played, he did,

552
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 5: Paul George played. Yeah, yeah, I think it's the first

553
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 5: time they all played together. And Beid looked pretty good

554
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 5: on offense and sided on defense. This guy gave up

555
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 5: a lot of offensive rebounds. Mogay was running wild when

556
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 5: Embiid was matched up on him, but at least he

557
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 5: was back.

558
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was funny to see him sit the second

559
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: overtime because he played too many minutes. You got to

560
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 4: sit now in the most important part of the game,

561
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: you said. But Paul George, even though he didn't have

562
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 4: an incredible game, did come through with a huge offensive

563
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 4: redown for the Maxi three to tie it. So, yeah,

564
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 4: the Sixers come through at the end of games. I

565
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 4: guess they do it when their back is against the wall,

566
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: you know, so their fourth quarter, fourth quarter team, that's

567
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 4: who they are.

568
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: And Maxi ended up playing fifty two minutes. Oh nice,

569
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: and this one, so he should be back over forty

570
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: minutes per game, I would think, or at least for

571
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: there we go.

572
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: There you go.

573
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: So I haven't had that in a long time. Tika

574
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: had a short on that recently, so he's back over forty.

575
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: You think monte Alis is watching in the minute logs

576
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: every night and he's like so pissed it goes to overtime,

577
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: he's like, oh God, damn it.

578
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: You know he's not coming out.

579
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 5: You know what Maxie's great at is driving on the

580
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: left side of the lane and then somehow slicing back

581
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 5: and finishing with his right hand.

582
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 2: He did it one hundred times against the hut.

583
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, he had a tiny little gap and he

584
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: fits through there. He must be able to jump fares

585
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 5: very well at the subway, like dive right in or

586
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 5: just get around the turnstile.

587
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

588
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: You know what he'd be great at is it was

589
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: it a Korean thing or a Japanese thing. It was

590
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: going around for a long time, like they hold up

591
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: like a shape of a human that like a person

592
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: has to like gayor.

593
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: Belt goes through. Yes, makes you would cook at that. Also,

594
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: he's good at it. Was a dog trader. You see

595
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: that Westminster show. He did a couple of great guys fascinating.

596
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 2: Put him on every show and the NBA all right,

597
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: tas so winner of the weekend. Where do you want

598
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: to go?

599
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: Well, Janni said, Kombo is a winner. He returned against

600
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: the Knicks, No Big Dale dropped thirty, fifteen and eight

601
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: on Friday, and then against the Brooklyn Nets twenty nine

602
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 4: points in just nineteen minutes, and that got him to

603
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: twenty one thousand points. He is the sixth youngest player

604
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 4: in NBA history to reach twenty one thousand points and

605
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 4: he wants to be the all time leading scorer. It

606
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: was it was a great interview after the game, he

607
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: asked he was asked about it, he knew immediately who

608
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 4: the first five are. He named all of them, Wilt, MJ,

609
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 4: Kobe Durant, no big deal in Lebron. Yeah, of course

610
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: that's the guy I'm trying to reach. And he wants it.

611
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 4: He said that that is a goal of his. And

612
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 4: it's not six seven, eight years as he said, it's

613
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: four five And then he went back to that and

614
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: he goes like four and a half thrown numbers. Now

615
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 4: when you look at it, I mean, that would have

616
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 4: to be a ridiculous average, like fifty per game, doesn't it.

617
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: He would have to average fifty two over five years

618
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: to do it, and that's eighty two games. Okay, that's impossible.

619
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 4: This is a man who's been in the league now

620
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 4: thirteen plus years, so just you know, theoretically, it just

621
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: can't happen. To do it, he'd have to play for

622
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 4: another eleven years to average about twenty nine points per game,

623
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 4: so he'd be about forty two. And that's only sixty

624
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: seven games, So sixty seven games per season.

625
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: So is that sometime off?

626
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 4: It's not ridiculous. Well, CBS's Jasmine wimb she did the math.

627
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 4: I ain't doing the math. So we're talking about a

628
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 4: guy who said I'm going to do in four or

629
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 4: five years. Logically, amount of games he's playing per year,

630
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 4: it would be eleven seasons eleven years or so for

631
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 4: a man who's about to turn thirty two or no,

632
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 4: hold on, I always get this wrong. My man on

633
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 4: December sixth, I know the guy's birthday, it's five days

634
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 4: from now.

635
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: But how old does he turn?

636
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 4: I think he's oh, he's not just turning thirty one,

637
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 4: so he'll be forty two when all a said and done.

638
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: If he were still get there, well, there was the

639
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: talk about him going to Europe in between or you know,

640
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: to end his career. I should say, well, he's going

641
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: to do it all right in between him, Yeah, get

642
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 4: into Lebron's forty two thousand. But it ain't gonna happen

643
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: unless he wants to, I guess. I mean, unless he's

644
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: got these legs that'll keep him into the Take the bet.

645
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: I'll take the bet right now. Go te on the line.

646
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: Is not becoming the all time leading in the history.

647
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm very confident in that it's unlikely. It's very unlikely.

648
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd have to play too many games, but somehow

649
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: it's a goal of his all of a sudden.

650
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, he scores a lot. Yeah he dominated. Like if

651
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 5: he gets to go up against Danny Wolfe, able to

652
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 5: do it.

653
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: Every night for the next eleven seasons, then maybe he

654
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: gets there. Yeah, okay, that's fair. I think of him.

655
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: Was so young when he came into the league. You know,

656
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 5: he came into the starters. We measured him. As I

657
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: was talking to him, he was down for whatever. That's

658
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 5: how you can tell he was really young. And he's

659
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 5: still got a late start compared to Lebron.

660
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 2: He was still a year older than Rono con Jesus.

661
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he wasn't a great score to start, obviously,

662
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 4: he wasn't himself.

663
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: But he respects the Cup. He did come back for

664
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: that Cup game.

665
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 3: He did come back.

666
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: They lost.

667
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 4: Even though they lost that that was the Jalen Brunson

668
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 4: showing that the Knicks are going to be the number

669
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 4: one seed in the East and he's gonna get some

670
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 4: MVP votes. Knicks are starting to look like the Knicks anyway.

671
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: The incredible Darvin Ham Torrian Prince. Uh, you know, Cup run,

672
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: it's over, it's dead. They had lost the game prior.

673
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: To but yeah, that is dead. Yeah.

674
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 4: Giannis to get to twenty one thousand points in his

675
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 4: career is freaking incredible.

676
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: Just that that's why he zoom out.

677
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 4: He ain't getting to Lebron's forty two thousand, but what

678
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 4: he has become is an incredible feat for him.

679
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, one more round.

680
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 5: Well, he's gonna play another eleven years. It's fine, we can,

681
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 5: we can talk about it. He'll get to thirty thousand

682
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: points eventually, I assume he will.

683
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, without twos, pretty impressive.

684
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 4: Excuse me, without many, many, many threes, It's pretty impressive

685
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 4: for a modern day player too.

686
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: What he's doing.

687
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: He's about twenty nine fewer threes than MJ hit for

688
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 4: his career, so he'll pass MJ.

689
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: But you know, another round of winners. Let's go back

690
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: to you. Trey Cooper Flag gets a winner of the

691
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: weekend for me.

692
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 5: Scored thirty five on Saturday against the Clippers, becoming the

693
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 5: youngest player in league history to score thirty five or

694
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 5: more in a game.

695
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 2: Unseating you guessed that Lebron j.

696
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 5: He's the youngest guy since Lebron James for literally every

697
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 5: single thing he does right now, because he should still

698
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 5: be in college. Yeah, Cooper Flagg should reclassified when thirteen

699
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 5: to twenty two from the field, nine of eleven from

700
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 5: the free throw line, made a bunch of free throws

701
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 5: late to ice the game for Dallas on a night.

702
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: When they were very, very shorthanded. PJ.

703
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 5: Washington landed on a basketball in pregame warmups. Looks disgusting, Yeah,

704
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 5: but I thought this was pretty impressive from Cooper Loop,

705
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 5: really aggressive looking for his shop. I thought he was

706
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 5: super smart the way he was attacking mismatches. They would

707
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 5: run some sort of screen for him because he's pretty

708
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: much playing point guard. Was bringing the ball up the

709
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: court for the Mavericks in this one, and if Chris

710
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 5: Paul switched on to him, get to a spot, shoot

711
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 5: over the top. If it was Harden, use this quickness

712
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 5: and get into the lane, get to the rim. A

713
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 5: lot of times it was John Collins and he would

714
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 5: just test his lateral movement. Collins couldn't hang with him,

715
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 5: easy midrange jumpers for Cooper. Flag also had a monster

716
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 5: dunk on Zoobots after a pick and roll, kind of froze.

717
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: Zoo Bots, goes up, jams it on him two handed.

718
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: That was huge.

719
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 5: That was awesome, great stuff from Cooper, especially impressive because

720
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 5: this came on the second night of a back to

721
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: back for him, and he's really struggled so far in

722
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 5: his career. On the second night at back to backs,

723
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: he was like ten points per game in these second nights,

724
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 5: even though he's one of the youngest.

725
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: Dudes out there. On Friday he had eleven assists. That's nice.

726
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: It's a career high for him so far.

727
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 5: But you heard Candace and Dwayne Wade on the broadcast

728
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 5: the entire time saying be more aggressive, be more aggressive,

729
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 5: be more aggressive. Felt like too many possessions were ending

730
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 5: with PJ. Washington with the ball in his hands. I'm like,

731
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 5: you guys can play very similar styles of basketball. How

732
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 5: is this not Cooper that's doing the majority of the scoring.

733
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: But he came out on Saturday. MAVs needed a win

734
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 5: and he put the team on his back. Super impressive

735
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 5: first ten games of the season for Cooper flag fourteen

736
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 5: points a game on forty one percent shooting.

737
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: Next ten games he's played.

738
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 5: Twenty so far, nineteen points per game on fifty one

739
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 5: percent shooting. If he starts making three pointers Hobie at

740
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 5: like twenty five points per game.

741
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: He's figured out how to play.

742
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 5: He's really settled into the NBA and now he looks

743
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 5: like he knows what he's doing and not just kind

744
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: of free lancing out there.

745
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

746
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 4: I love the way he gets into his mid range

747
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: and creates space with his body and is just comfortable

748
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: shooting over most guys because he's so big and he

749
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 4: slows things down. So yeah, he's he's getting better, and

750
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 4: he gets better as games go on. At times he

751
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: plays better fourth quarters. He plays a lot of minutes,

752
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, he's going to be the leading score. He's

753
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 4: going to pass that nipple. He's going to give that

754
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: Kanka nipple a purple kunerpul or whatever to pass him here.

755
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: That'll happen.

756
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: Who do you have for another winner?

757
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 4: I got a piggyback Cooper flag and say Klay Thompson.

758
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 4: Klay Thompson had a Thanksgiving weekend on and off the court.

759
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 4: On the court, they don't beat the Clippers without Clay.

760
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: He was monstrous in that fourth quarter. He had seventeen points.

761
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: He played all twelve minutes, and we had a flashback

762
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 4: of Klay Thompson. You know, he started it by a

763
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: dribble handoff three, then a cut, then a shot over but.

764
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: To him in the mid range.

765
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 4: All right, so he has a few shots and then

766
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 4: they decided, all right, we got to put somebody on

767
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 4: him to get a little bit more physical with him.

768
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 4: They put Chris Dunn on him. Didn't matter. He had

769
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: three threes in about three minutes to ice that game.

770
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 4: Bank bank bang. Fourth quarter, Here comes Clay. He had

771
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: all twenty three points in the second half against that

772
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: Clipper team. And off the court, I mean, I mean

773
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: he had the best weekend. Meghan the Stallion, his girlfriend,

774
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 4: said before Thanksgiving dinner, I'm really find a cool I'm

775
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 4: really fine a cook for my man and his whole family.

776
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 4: I got to show them I really loved they son.

777
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: And then Clay said after the dinner, he said, so good, flawless.

778
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 4: It is the best thing I have ever tasted. Even

779
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: his dad, former NBA player Michael Thompson said the Thanksgiving

780
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 4: dinner was the best Thanksgiving food I've ever eaten. Meghan

781
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 4: the Stallion should be Meghan the chef. That's how good

782
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 4: the food was. It was unbelievable. And Clay also unveiled

783
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 4: a boat devoted to his girlfriend called the SS Stallion.

784
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 3: Wow, that was a lot.

785
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: The SS Stallion.

786
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, didn't you also say he was like questionable for

787
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 5: this game against the Clippers because he was sick because

788
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 5: he ate too much.

789
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 3: Maybe well he played in a back to back Yeah.

790
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 2: Well I know.

791
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 5: He said he went for a swim in the ocean

792
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 5: and decided he was going to play.

793
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: What the guy's awesome?

794
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 5: He started in the third quarter too, like he had

795
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 5: back to back threes and then carried it into the

796
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 5: fourth and just had but to him completely guessing. I

797
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 5: did like to see Megan the Stallion making the rue

798
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 5: for Meccan cheese.

799
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 2: You gotta make a Basha metal sauce.

800
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that interesting. Let me check that out.

801
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 2: Was the joke though, she wasn't really making anything and

802
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: it was like catered.

803
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 4: Oh she was cooking it, but some some people help.

804
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 4: There's videos of her on the stove during some stuff.

805
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure she did make something, so

806
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was part of the damn joke though.

807
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: It was like this entire like team coming in to

808
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 2: help make a Thanksgiving Yeah. I saw. I saw her

809
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: stir in her it was looking good. It was taking out.

810
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: She was stirring.

811
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: She wasn't wearing anything super fancy while she was stirring,

812
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: so it made me believe that she was actually cooking.

813
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: Well, Clay had a great weekend, then, yes he did.

814
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 5: Making food for somebody is one of the greatest ways

815
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 5: to show your love for them.

816
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely. I'd have some other winners of the weekend.

817
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: I have two.

818
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: We'll start with the Charlotte Hornets because they ended a

819
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: seven game losing streak with two wins over the weekend,

820
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: so let's show him some love. They beat the Bulls

821
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: one twenty three one sixteen on Friday night, and then

822
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: they followed it up with an overtime win against our

823
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: Raptors on Saturday.

824
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 2: They beat the no Dunks teams over the weekend.

825
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: I thought, you know that comeback versus the Raptors on Saturday,

826
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: it was pretty impressive. You know, Miles Bridges had a

827
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: monster game, but Konk Nipple scored twenty hit the game

828
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: tying three in the corner.

829
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what Brandon Ingram.

830
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: Was doing there. He backed up a little too much.

831
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: Should have had a hand up. Canipple banged it home.

832
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: I thought, calling Sexton, he's been awesome for them off

833
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: the bench in these two games. James playing hard.

834
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: Yea.

835
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: Bata is all hustle, And it was like you had

836
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: fans like basically screaming at Charles Lee to put LaMelo

837
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: ball back in the game in the fourth quarter on Saturday,

838
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: but he kept the Star on the bench. Now there's

839
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: a minutes restriction going on with back to backs there

840
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: and Lamello coming back and all that. But he was

841
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: also like, I'm running with the guys that got me here.

842
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm running with these guys even unto the overtime period,

843
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, these guys were playing hard, and you know,

844
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: not only did they snap that losing streak, Like I said,

845
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: they got two wins in a row and they got

846
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: that crazy City edition court looks good. The blue and

847
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: then their jerseys are like a completely different color.

848
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it did look sharp.

849
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 5: Big time shot from k Nipple, hand down, man down

850
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 5: for Brandon Miller, catches it, pumps fakes for Ingram, Miller

851
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: does nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brandon Miller, Brandon Ingram, Yeah, yeah,

852
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 5: one for thirteen Brandon Miller. He's got the Michael Porter

853
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 5: junior shoulder right now. That thing is tape. But a

854
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 5: big time shot for Kin Nipple. That was That was

855
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 5: really great. The guy has hit at least two clutch

856
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 5: threes this season. Very confident taking it with a K.

857
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 4: So Amelo doesn't play the last yeah, eight and a

858
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 4: half minutes of the fourth quarter, doesn't play overtime, playing

859
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 4: it back to back, which he played twenty nine minutes

860
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 4: night before, then twenty two minutes that game. What's his

861
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: minister restriction on a second night of a back to back.

862
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

863
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 3: I'm telling you.

864
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: There's like a little bit of like, yeah, minister restriction,

865
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 2: but also yeah, let's go with these guys that are

866
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: playing much much harder. Yeah.

867
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, sex, a little bit of both sex and helps

868
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 4: them win that game, there's no doubt.

869
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has been really good over this weekend.

870
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 3: Where's my man, RJ. Barrett? We need him?

871
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

872
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: Also winter the weekend, Josh Hart, you guys already brought

873
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: up that he got robbed.

874
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: That's not great.

875
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: I guess one hundred and eighty five thousand dollars in

876
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: watches and maybe some jewelry from a Manhattan hotel back

877
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: in September. So he definitely wants to advance into the Cup,

878
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: get that money back, maybe replace some of that jewelry.

879
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully he was insured though, but he was awesome in

880
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: two wins over the weekend. For the next they beat

881
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks in that Cup game, they beat the Raptors

882
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He's averaging over the weekend nineteen and a

883
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: half points per game, thirteen and a half rebounds, seven assists,

884
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 1: three steals, two threes, and he shot fifty four percent.

885
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: And he is just like he takes over games like

886
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: he's absolutely everywhere. He's one of my favorite players to

887
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: watch because just the impact he has on a winning

888
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: basketball team. It's pretty infectious. I think to that squad,

889
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: so good stuff from Josh Hart not great whoever stole jewelry,

890
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: but he'll get it back.

891
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: He took it in stride. He'll get it back. Yeah.

892
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if you put it in the safe

893
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: in the hotel. I'm not sure did he leave it out.

894
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. A lot of questions surrounding this.

895
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 4: Right, they're looking their best. They're looking like the one

896
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 4: seed in the Eastern cont I think so. Yeah, just

897
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: quick shut out for the Memphis Grizzlies. This team started

898
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 4: the road trip with three straight wins.

899
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

900
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 5: What zach Edy Zachie coming back winner of the weekend.

901
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 5: I think him versus Zubots was just awesome to see.

902
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 5: He was like making Zubots look small. I think he's bigger,

903
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 5: Like he looks bigger and stronger, which is interesting. He

904
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 5: didn't have a huge game against Zubots. I think he

905
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 5: went for four points, but he had nineteen boards and

906
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 5: gave Zubots fits. And then he just dominated the little

907
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 5: guys on Sacramento. Precious and Maxine were not able to

908
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 5: handle the big boy grilling on the root seventeen five

909
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 5: blocks for Die went sixteen of twenty from the field.

910
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: Took one free throw following maybe yeah, literally followed bro

911
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: ethical hoops right there.

912
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,919
Speaker 5: He was just kepting the ball next to the rim

913
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 5: and just turning and shot like oh was he traveling?

914
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 5: Roll it back now? Just beautiful for work from this

915
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 5: giant man.

916
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: That's his first first thirty point game in the NBA. Right,

917
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: we saw that in college a lot, the first one

918
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Yeah, a definite winner of the weekend.

919
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: Anyone else you want to slip.

920
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:03,959
Speaker 2: In there, there's a lot.

921
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: I just want to shout out Jay Huff who scored

922
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 4: the fourteen straight points of the Pacers for the Pacers

923
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 4: against Chicago Bulls, and that was all the points he scored.

924
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 4: Fourteen done. You know, we'll get to the Bulls as

925
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: a loser. But it is funny they left him open.

926
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 4: Splash those threes, my man. And he had four threes

927
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 4: literally the first fourteen points for a team.

928
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 3: It's rare.

929
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 2: It's a lot.

930
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe guard them. Yeah, okay, that's our winners. We'll

931
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: take a very quick break here when we come back.

932
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: Some losers of the NBA weekend.

933
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 5: It is NBA Cup season and FanDuel is your home

934
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 5: for live vetting, no dunksters your home.

935
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,040

Speaker 5: Even if you missed the start of the game or

950
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: Let's do a few losers here. Who wants to get

951
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: a started task, Let's go with you here.

952
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 4: I guess I'm a loser for mispronouncing fina. I'm a Fina,

953
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 4: do it, I'm a Fina. Pronounce it correctly. Everybody calling

954
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 4: me out listen reading it, it's Finna, yes, and I

955
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 4: have you know, Fina is closer to finally, so it

956
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 4: makes more sense than it would be fina. None of you,

957
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 4: none of you calling me out because I really went

958
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 4: hard to say fina anyway, I have said fina before.

959
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 4: I don't know why I went with Finna. It's just

960
00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 4: funner to say.

961
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: I think in the shirks.

962
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 4: Wait, wait, fine is the right way to do it? No,

963
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 4: finn a is the right way. Oh yeah, so I

964
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 4: pronounced it correctly. No, you said finally, yeah, oh.

965
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 3: It's way better fine and finally anyway you're saying.

966
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: It's more like finally.

967
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting, I did weird anyway.

968
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

969
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 4: The Los Angeles Clippers are definitely a loser. Things are

970
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 4: getting dire. This team is five and fifty getting dire. Well,

971
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: it's getting more dire.

972
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: Well. They lost at.

973
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 4: Home to the Memphis Grizzlies. They lost at home to

974
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 4: the Dallas Mavericks. It's getting it's getting worse because you

975
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 4: can see in James Harden and the way he's doing

976
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 4: postgame interviews. It feels like the last interview he's doing

977
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 4: with the Houston Rockets. It's a question and then I

978
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 4: roll yeah, I mean he kept the words basically, we

979
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 4: gotta play talent. Essentially say he's finn A request the trade.

980
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 4: That's the talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We will definitely get

981
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 4: into that tomorrow Ontoesday show where the Clippers ideally would go,

982
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 4: where each one of those players ideally would go. Because

983
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 4: if we're at five and fifteen here quarterway through the

984
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: season and things aren't looking good because they're just not

985
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 4: deep offensively. I mean versus the Grizzlies, their bench lost

986
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 4: forty seven to fifteen. We had four Grizzlies and double

987
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 4: digits off the bench Aldama, KCP, Cam, Spencer and Landale.

988
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,479
Speaker 4: And then versus the Maps, same thing happened. Their bench

989
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,760
Speaker 4: lost forty one to five. They have lost thirteen to fifteen.

990
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: So tomorrow we'll be talking about where Hard can go,

991
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 4: where Kawai can go.

992
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: Zoo Bots. Would they trade that guy?

993
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 4: I doubt it, but we'll go all the way down

994
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 4: the roster because they don't have an answer. It's defense

995
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 4: and its offense, and when both of those things aren't working,

996
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 4: ty lewis trying things. He's pulled brook Lopez from the rotation,

997
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 4: he's benched him recently, not playing at all. Chris Paul

998
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 4: obviously doesn't look good. Bradley Beal has obviously gone for

999
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: the season, so I don't know where the answer is.

1000
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 4: They're trying their young guys. Here comes Tobe Sanders that

1001
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 4: ain't working offense and defense. So that's a problem, very

1002
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 4: very big problem.

1003
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Five and fifteen the LA Clippers, I mean, preseason people

1004
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: had him in a tier probably playoffs or at the

1005
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: very least a play in sort of squad in the

1006
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: loaded West, but they are a tier down from that.

1007
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they won fifty games last year and came in

1008
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 5: with a healthy Kawhi Leonard. I definitely thought they were

1009
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 5: going to be way better. I thought they were going

1010
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 5: to be better than the Lakers, and the Lakers look awesome. Meanwhile,

1011
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 5: it feels like everybody who was teetering on the edge

1012
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 5: of the cliff for the Clippers has completely fallen off. Lopez, Batoom,

1013
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 5: Chris Paul, their old guys look incredibly old. So that's

1014
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 5: why they don't have any offense. They're getting nothing from

1015
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 5: their support players. You throw in Beal's injury, you throw

1016
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 5: in Bodanovic's injury. Now the team suddenly looks very very thin.

1017
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 5: They're playing two guys named Kobe and neither of them

1018
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 5: can score. They've got a very predictable offense. It's like

1019
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 5: Harden's going to be in a pick and roll or

1020
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 5: an ISO, Kawhi's going to be in an ISO, or

1021
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 5: they're gonna post up Zubats. As soon as the play starts.

1022
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 5: Within three seconds, you're like, here's how the play's gonna end.

1023
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 5: And that's why they're able to be so easily defended.

1024
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 5: And then we've talked about a ton of times if

1025
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 5: there's a turnover, easy basket on the other side, because

1026
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 5: there's no athleticism with this team, especially with Derek Jones

1027
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 5: junior out. I even think like Chris Dunn isn't as

1028
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 5: good on defense anymore. He's just getting lost off the

1029
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 5: ball all the time. He saw it so many times

1030
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 5: with Klay Thompson. The dude's spinning around picks. They're literally

1031
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 5: doing a spin move on defense that doesn't work, and

1032
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 5: I don't know, they just they look bad.

1033
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, suddenly they're a trade team.

1034
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 5: I went into last year's record because they started slow

1035
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 5: last year, so I was like, oh, maybe they were

1036
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 5: struggling through the first twenty games, and they put it

1037
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 5: together in the middle part of the season.

1038
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: That's what the Clippers have often done under Tylu.

1039
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 5: But no, they were twelve and eight last year, so

1040
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 5: not great, but a competitive team, and right now it

1041
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 5: looks like if they get down, it looks impossible for

1042
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 5: them to dig their way out of a hole.

1043
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, offensive rating one fourteen point zero, so twenty second

1044
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: in the league. Defense is even worse, twenty fifth out

1045
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 1: of thirty teams on the defensive side. And yeah, Trey

1046
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: speaks to what you were saying, like they play a

1047
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: very slow, methodical offensive game. I think they rank near

1048
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: the bottom and pace, which is not a surprise for

1049
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: a team that old and maybe the offensive players that

1050
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: they have. But it's just so weird to me that

1051
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: they were so great on the defensive end last year

1052
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: and if just the complete opposite from the top five

1053
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: to bottom five. Now, Yeah, there are some main pieces

1054
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: like Derek Jones junior was an important part, but a

1055
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: lot of the guys are still there, So for that

1056
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,959
Speaker 1: drop off is wild, and they are they're not hitting

1057
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: there over under a forty nine and a half, I'll

1058
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: tell you that that was the streak. That's right, all right,

1059
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 1: So Clippers a pretty obvious weekend loser.

1060
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: What about u tk oh, it's over.

1061
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 5: The balls are back under five hundred, lost to the

1062
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 5: Hornets and the Pacers this weekend to end the month.

1063
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 5: You'll remember November first, the balls were five and oh

1064
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 5: first place, and it's December first and they're nine to

1065
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 5: ten night back where we've been place in the Eastern Conference.

1066
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 3: Just like that.

1067
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 5: Not given as many text messages about Josh Giddy these days,

1068
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 5: UH defense completely fallen apart. They're down to twenty second overall.

1069
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 5: It's one hundred and twenty every single night. Somehow they

1070
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 5: held the Pacers to one oh three, probably because the

1071
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 5: Pacers are bad, but guess what sore the Bulls. In

1072
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 5: the last two weeks, they've lost to the Jazz Pelicans, Hornets, Pacers,

1073
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 5: and beat the Wizards by one.

1074
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: If you lose to all the worst teams in the lap,

1075
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 2: what does that make you?

1076
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 5: I don't know. VANDOL odds to flipped back minus one

1077
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 5: sixty to miss to miss the playoffs. So they're favored

1078
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 5: to miss the playoffs, but still favor to make the

1079
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 5: play In their next six games, they got a chance

1080
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 5: to like get back on track, Magic Nets, Pacers Warriors, Hornets, Pelicans.

1081
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 5: But this team feels like they're beat before the game starts.

1082
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 5: They gave up fourteenth straight to Jay huff All in

1083
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 5: wide open shots, like he's not playing great this season,

1084
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 5: But after he makes the first two, maybe step out

1085
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 5: Woucie Baby, they look completely confused. Buzzellis isn't hardly doing

1086
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 5: anything right now. As soon as he makes a mistake, yank,

1087
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 5: and then they bring in a worse guy. So I

1088
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 5: don't really think there's much of a solution here. But

1089
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 5: you know, if you finish with the tenth best lottery odds,

1090
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 5: the NBA gives you the first pick, So things are

1091
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 5: looking up right.

1092
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Interesting.

1093
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: I do remember when they were five and zero and

1094
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: they were incredible, and we talked a lot about them.

1095
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: Uh you did point out maybe we're getting a little

1096
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 2: lucky when it comes to other teams shooting the ball,

1097
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 2: because like they were, you know, just missing.

1098
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: Teams are just missing against your balls, and maybe that's

1099
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: come back to the media in a little bit more.

1100
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: Yes, it is.

1101
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 5: They're like maybe twelfth in three point percentage or something

1102
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 5: like that. So as long as they're not the worst,

1103
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 5: you can beat the bulls because they're also going to

1104
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 5: give up layups.

1105
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 2: He's not just three pointers that are happening.

1106
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 5: They got one guy on the entire roster that they can

1107
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 5: play defense, and it's a Koro.

1108
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: And he's out.

1109
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.

1110
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 5: Pretty easy to beat people off the dribble and then

1111
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 5: score inside. Though it did take an amazing shot from

1112
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 5: Siakam too.

1113
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: Grazy two guys draped all over him, timed it absolutely perfect.

1114
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 3: He did.

1115
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: That was a gorgeous game winner. Any thoughts on the

1116
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls just back to where they belong.

1117
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: I don't know how much Isaac Ocoro really factors into

1118
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 4: the defense, but he's nice to have, so hopefully he

1119
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 4: comes back.

1120
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 3: I think he's it. He should be back soonish.

1121
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter, it really doesn't. Trade season is open. Yeah,

1122
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 5: give me all those second round picks, first rounders?

1123
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 2: Anymore?

1124
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 5: Was get out of a first rounder from Moods. You

1125
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 5: got lit up by Jay Huff. Maybe maybe Kobe White.

1126
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: Since he's on a contract, could get a first rounder.

1127
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: And trade season is almost here, you're going back to

1128
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: uh talking about Joe and Johnson. You did say Trey

1129
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: Young is going to be reevaluated in two weeks. I

1130
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: heard you say, yeah, it takes us right to about

1131
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: that December fifteenth.

1132
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 2: Interesting. Interesting, see, I didn't know what of interest? All right?

1133
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: Those are Clippers, Bulls losers the weekend. I we'll give

1134
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: a loser the weekend to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

1135
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: What's going on? I know the Hoop.

1136
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: Collective is already wondering if we should panic about the

1137
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: Cavaliers because we are past the quarter mark of the season.

1138
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: They're twelve and nine. Cavaliers are in a play in

1139
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: spot right now.

1140
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: They lost to Atlanta on Friday night, as we talked about,

1141
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: followed it up on Sunday with a two point loss

1142
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 1: to the Celtics, and they scrambled to sort of get

1143
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: back in that game, but they fell short. And this

1144
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: is a team like the Knicks that we thought, oh well,

1145
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna sort of run away with the Eastern Conference

1146
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the regular season.

1147
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 2: We won't even have to worry.

1148
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: About talking about the Cavs until the postseason, and then

1149
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: we'll see what they're made of. But they are struggling

1150
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: a lot, and you're getting quotes now from the locker room.

1151
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Tyson is saying, I think we're in cruise control

1152
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 1: as a team. I think we're not hungry enough. What

1153
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: happened to us last year, it's a similar thing that's

1154
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: happening this year. We're getting ran out of the gym,

1155
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: we're getting beat on the glass toughness. It's on us

1156
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: to fix it.

1157
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 2: And then you.

1158
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: Got mobilely openly wondering if maybe this little frustration right

1159
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: now is a good thing and it forces some evolution

1160
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: because he had a good game against Celtics, but a

1161
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: lot of eyes on him. Hey man, we thought you

1162
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: were going to level up and you haven't. So yeah,

1163
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: the Calves here at twelve to nine.

1164
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 4: Any thoughts Jalen Tyson quotes, I mean he's right, there's

1165
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 4: a hunger lack of hunger there. I mean they just

1166
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 4: don't have it. And I wonder if DeAndre Hunter will

1167
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 4: go to the bench as soon as Max Struz comes back,

1168
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 4: because he's part of their rotation, He's part of their hunger,

1169
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 4: I would think, so. I think that is a change

1170
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 4: that will happen when he comes back, but it is

1171
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 4: still going to be a while, So that's the answer.

1172
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 2: Really, the Calves are missing guys.

1173
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: I get that, but like you know, Mitchell's playing Mobley's playing.

1174
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: Garland is back, and I know Jared Allen is important,

1175
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 1: and some shooters in Maryland.

1176
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 2: I know, but yeah, my point is like I'm tired

1177
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 2: of the hearing that.

1178
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: Like it's like, Okay, a lot of guys, a lot

1179
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: of teams are missing guys, and you still have a

1180
00:52:59,160 --> 00:52:59,720
Speaker 1: good squad.

1181
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: So it is weird you're twelve to nine. You don't

1182
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 2: feel the Cavs at all.

1183
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 5: No, they are not a physically imposing team, even though

1184
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 5: they play two seven footers. Like I said, Alan is

1185
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 5: really struggling the season. The guy's like a sixty five

1186
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 5: percent shooter for his career. He's down in the low

1187
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 5: fifties right now. I think he's way under ten rebounds

1188
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,959
Speaker 5: a game. We know Mobley's not a big rebounder. They're

1189
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 5: so dependent on making jump shots. They're one of the

1190
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 5: top three teams in the league in three point right.

1191
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 5: That's fine, that's what they did last year. But they

1192
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 5: had a lot of guys.

1193
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 2: Who could shoot.

1194
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 5: Garland was playing the majority of the season, Mitchell was

1195
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 5: healthy for the majority of the season, Struce was there.

1196
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 5: They had Ty Jerome as a fifty to forty ninety

1197
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 5: guy coming off the bench.

1198
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 2: Lonzo hasn't been able to fill in for him.

1199
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 5: They don't really put pressure on their rims, so they

1200
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 5: got to be making three pointers, which is why they

1201
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 5: had the stat that I mentioned last week where's like

1202
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell has to score thirty five for this team

1203
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 5: to win. He can do it sometimes, but he needs

1204
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 5: somebody else to come along with him, because it doesn't

1205
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 5: feel like they have anything else that's reliable on the

1206
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 5: offensive end outside a jumper. Then, like defensively, they're just

1207
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 5: not a very athletic team. Like Mobley's a really good

1208
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 5: versatile defender, Allen helps out at the rim, but they

1209
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 5: don't have athletes on the wing, like I think that's

1210
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,800
Speaker 5: why a team like the Raptors gave them so much trouble.

1211
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 2: He just run it down their throats, get.

1212
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 5: The ball off the glass, and turn defense into offense.

1213
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 5: And the Cavs don't really have a way to keep

1214
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 5: up with that. So if you're not athletic and you're

1215
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 5: not like taking it to the other team from the

1216
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 5: physicality standpoint, like a team like the Rockets does, what

1217
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 5: do you really have?

1218
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 2: They seem a little bit lost to me.

1219
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think from last year to this year,

1220
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: a glaring difference too, is Garland did play a lot

1221
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: last year, right, played seventy five games. He helped the

1222
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: Cavs have the number one offense in the league. I mean,

1223
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: Mobley was an all NBA talent. They were the top seed,

1224
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: as we talked about. But this year Garland has been

1225
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: like in and out of the lineup like four or

1226
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: five times already. Now he's back right now, but there's

1227
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: no reliability with him unfortunately because of injuries, and he's struggling.

1228
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: I think a part of it is coming back and

1229
00:54:58,160 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: go in being an injury and coming back like he's

1230
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: shooting thirty percent.

1231
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 2: Darius Garland right now.

1232
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: Again had a bit of a better weekend, i'll say,

1233
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: numbers wise, so maybe that gets him going. But yeah,

1234
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,399
Speaker 1: no one expected twelve to nine here like a sort

1235
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: of an average Cavs team despite the injuries, even in

1236
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: this East, with all of the injuries to top guys

1237
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 1: like Tatum and Halliburton.

1238
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and with Garland out, you can understand why your

1239
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 4: offense might not be great, but there is no reason

1240
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,600
Speaker 4: that their defense should drop off the way it is.

1241
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 3: They just shouldn't.

1242
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 4: Alan not being himself as a factor, there's no doubt,

1243
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 4: and I do think DeAndre Hunter will go to the

1244
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 4: bench asap. I know that prior to the season, I

1245
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 4: mentioned how Kenny Atkinson really endorsed DeAndre Hunter and what

1246
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 4: a great offense or what great offseason he had, because

1247
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 4: his offense looked great and he's scoring fine. But I

1248
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 4: do think his lack of spacing that he provides hurts

1249
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 4: Evan Mobley. He should be out there shooting threes, and

1250
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 4: he's not shooting them very well. His percentage is very

1251
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 4: bad in comparison to his two point shooting. You know,

1252
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 4: he's the thirty three percent shooting three point shooter, and

1253
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 4: that's where Max Shrews I think would help out a

1254
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 4: little bit, just to stretch it out and to give

1255
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 4: the guys a little bit more space, and just to

1256
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 4: increase that hunger level, which yeah, they there is something

1257
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 4: with Garland out Alan, not himself in that starting lineup.

1258
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 5: Garland is kind of the key for this team because

1259
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 5: he sets up Alan and he sets up Mobly, and

1260
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 5: he's really good at getting into the paint and creating

1261
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 5: for others. He's their most creative playmaker and passer for sure.

1262
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 5: Like Mitchell, I think that's part of the reason he's

1263
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 5: taken so many threes this year too, is there's just

1264
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 5: a glut of people hanging out on the paint and

1265
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 5: there's nobody to make plays for other people. So I

1266
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 5: think it is encouraging that Garland had a couple of

1267
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 5: good games over the weekend. They just need him to

1268
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 5: stay on the court for a month straight so they

1269
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 5: can actually start building some sort of a rhythm and

1270
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 5: figure out their rotations, letting him play as the number

1271
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 5: one guy alongside either Mobley or Alan, setting them up

1272
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 5: and letting them impose themselves.

1273
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: I do remember Kenny Atkinson saying, like earlier on and

1274
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: they didn't come out of the gate like super highs,

1275
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: like you know, give it, give it a quarter of

1276
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: the season, give it twenty five games until you really

1277
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: make an assessment of our team. Well we're basically there.

1278
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: We're coming up on that sort of this week or

1279
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: the next, so we'll see if if are they a

1280
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: team potentially in sort of trade talks and moving one

1281
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: other bigs like probably would be like Alan. I don't

1282
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: think we'll get to the Garland and Mitchell split up

1283
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: yet that we talked about prior to the awesome year

1284
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: last year, but maybe Jared Allen. Yeah, he's he's been

1285
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 1: bad when he's playing and he's gonna miss I think

1286
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: still another week or something with a fingy.

1287
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: He's got a banged up fingy. I think, yeah, I

1288
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: think it. Did it just happen? Yeah, just how he's

1289
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 2: gonna miss a week as well?

1290
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 4: Say yeah, yeah when Garland plays there four and three

1291
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 4: this season, So you can look at that and say, Okay,

1292
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: when he plays, we're a lot better, and that's totally true.

1293
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 4: But they have lost just yeah, that camaraderie. That's what

1294
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan talked about when he was interviewed by Mike Tarico.

1295
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 4: We just need to play together and that's a part

1296
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 4: of it. There's no doubt Garland is their best playmaker,

1297
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: as good as Donovan Mitchell is. He gets in there

1298
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 4: and makes things happen. And unfortunately Mobile hasn't been the

1299
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 4: guy to just turn it on and create for himself,

1300
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 4: to have a go to put it on the floor,

1301
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 4: spin move. It ain't there yet, even though he's putting

1302
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 4: up the numbers and he's good defensively. Yeah, they've lost

1303
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 4: their their charisma. This ain't the same Caves team, all right.

1304
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: Those are our winners and losers of the weekend. Let's

1305
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: hear who we missed. Let us know in the YouTube comments.

1306
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: Bye love Boy of the Night unsullied by sponsorship since Wednesday,

1307
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: so many great nominees for Low Boy Fantasy Line of

1308
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: the Night. We've mentioned a lot of them when we've

1309
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: been talking about winners. Zach ety thirty two points, seventeen boards,

1310
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: five blocks, huge, the Lakers duo of Luka Don Chic

1311
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: and Austin Reeves. These guys are on fire. They both

1312
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: had monster games on Sunday. Maxi, Jalen Johnson, Peyton Pritchard

1313
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: all scored over forty. But the will boy in a

1314
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: loss doesn't matter goes to Denny Avdia, who recorded his

1315
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: fourth career triple double, racking up game highs of thirty

1316
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: one points, nineteen rebounds, ten assists in the Blazers loss

1317
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: to Oka. See now, he shot just six or fourteen

1318
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: from the field. He hit a lot of free throws,

1319
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,040
Speaker 1: nineteen of twenty three at the free throw line.

1320
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 2: He's a free throw guy. Oh yeah.

1321
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: He likes to barrel into guys. And he was getting

1322
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: the whistle. He was getting superstar whistle. I thought that

1323
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: was a bit of an unwatchable game Thunderblazers. There's a

1324
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: lot of whistles, but he had one steal, only one

1325
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: turnover in thirty seven minutes.

1326
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: So Denny avdya getting getting will boy?

1327
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 1: There was, like I said, a lot of guys would

1328
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: pick from like five or six guys from Sunday.

1329
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 4: He's had four triple doubles now in his career. They've

1330
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 4: all been thirty point games.

1331
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 2: Oh.

1332
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 4: Interesting, only the second player in NBA history to score

1333
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 4: thirty plus points in each of his first four career

1334
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 4: triple doubles. And that's a lot of boards. Who's the

1335
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 4: other one? Thirty point?

1336
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 2: Oh you don't have it?

1337
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 3: No, I don't, Okay, I just ESPN stats.

1338
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: Uh who could be? Maybe maybe that's a weird one.

1339
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 3: That's weird, weird one. That's weird to see Denny doing it.

1340
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 4: I mean, as good as he is, he's a driver

1341
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 4: and the ball is in his hands and he's driving,

1342
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 4: and they tried, they tried to.

1343
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 3: Knock off okay.

1344
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 4: See, it is weird to see okay see in a

1345
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 4: clutch game, it's just strange.

1346
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: And shake just takes over like he went like four

1347
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: or five, had an assist inside beautiful past, the chat

1348
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: home run underneath just completely took over the game. Not

1349
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: a lot of free throws either than in the clutch

1350
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: for him. He was getting to his spot, getting his jumper.

1351
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Yes, play some fun games of Blazers games.

1352
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 5: You think Shay has not been the leader in free

1353
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 5: throw attempts, it's got to be in like the last

1354
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 5: three years since he's been MVP level. Yeah, I bet,

1355
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 5: I bet it's less than five. Wow, less than five.

1356
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 5: I mean it takes a ton of free throw Yeah,

1357
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 5: but he took twelve last night. That's the most on

1358
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 5: any team in almost any other game. We'll have to

1359
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 5: ask ESPN Stats and Info after they pull that one

1360
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 5: about the thirty point triple doubles first, Yeah, probably Wilt Chamberlain.

1361
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 3: Yes, it just probably is. Yeah, I'd go with that.

1362
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 4: Another stat about Shae, he scores more than half of

1363
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 4: their clutch points, which isn't surprising when you say it

1364
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 4: like that, when it's Shay. But that's not been done.

1365
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 4: I think Tom Haberstrow threw this out there, but that's

1366
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 4: not done rarely at all, that a team has a

1367
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 4: guy shoot score over fifty percent of.

1368
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 3: Their clutch points.

1369
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 2: Huge.

1370
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big, big number.

1371
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 2: Are you telling me he's gonna win Clutch Player of

1372
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 2: the Year.

1373
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Probably now that they're playing more of them, it could be.

1374
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 2: All right, pick them tonight.

1375
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: We're all zero and zero again for the month of December.

1376
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: We've got to figure out what we're putting on the line.

1377
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 1: What are we going to be paying off. If you

1378
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: have a suggestion, let's let us know in the comments

1379
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: as we figure out who will if you're doing what

1380
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the month, whoever's in last place.

1381
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 1: But we're zero zero tonight.

1382
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 2: Where we're going.

1383
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 4: We're going to Denver, Denver hosting Dallas and they are

1384
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 4: a ten and a half point favorite, almost like a

1385
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 4: bit of a big line. As guys who are into

1386
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 4: every single night in the NBA, Dallas is playing better.

1387
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 4: So that's why it's a little surprising you zoom out.

1388
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 4: A lot of people who are betting will just say, well,

1389
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 4: gus our away better team. That makes sense, But they

1390
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 4: do kind of play down to their competition a little bit.

1391
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 4: And that's why I that's why I took the MAVs

1392
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 4: skeets here in the same boat.

1393
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think they can lose by ten

1394
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,840
