48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I means the spotlight, So he's probably sat court side

49
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: at a game.

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: That's what I feel like.

51
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems more like a baseball guy. His name's

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: John exactly, John Ham. He's a baseball guy, that's true.

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: All right, we'll join us on playback tonight, and you

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: never know when TK is gonna try and jump on

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: from the John Mayer concert here in Atlanta. But let's

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: get to last night's games. Real NBA basketball was back,

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: and we are going to start with a little it's

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 3: just one game, but yeah, let's overreact and we'll start

59
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: with the first game. The Nuggets started their NBA title

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 3: defense with an emphetic one nineteen one oh seven win

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: over the Lakers on Tuesday night. Trey get Us started

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: it's just one game, but.

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: It's just one game. But Nikola Jokic is gonna win

64
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: his third MVP. It's supposed to be an overreaction, skeets,

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: but this one is possibly true. Yeah, it could be

66
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: still good Nikola Jokic. It turns out after the Championship,

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: after the finals, MVP comes in drops an easy twenty

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: nine points, thirteen rebounds, eleven assists on the Lakers, twelve

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: to twenty two from the line, three to five from three,

70
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: a measly two of four at the free throw line.

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Was trying to think of an analogy for Nikola Jokic,

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the way he just steadily produces and accumulates stats. I

73
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: was like, he's either a human metronome, you know, just

74
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: keeps ticking.

75
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't mind that, or sounded like a horse,

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: a horse metronome.

77
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I love me to change my opinion there. Or maybe

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: he's like a sticker hand. You know, you drop a

79
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: sticky hand on the ground and you can't believe everything

80
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: it pulls up. You drop it on the ground again,

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: even more stuff, because this possible. That's what it's like

82
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: with Jokic. The numbers just keep piling up for this guy.

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like he's playing incredibly well when he's

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: stacking up these numbers against the guy like Anthony Davis.

85
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: But now, after last night, one hundred and six career

86
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: triple doubles for Jokic in the regular season, He's one

87
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: behind Lebron. This is season twenty one for Lebron James.

88
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: He was the guy that we looked at at the

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: beginning of his career and said, maybe someday he could

90
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: average a triple double for a season. Obviously, Lebron is

91
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: a walking triple double, but Jokic is a slowly walking,

92
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: even more so triple double. He's gonna pass Lebron this season.

93
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: That's amazing stuff. Yeah, and speaking of Lebron, they got

94
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: it close in the fourth quarter the Lakers did. Lebron

95
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: hit a three. I think it was a three point game.

96
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: Jokic checks back in seven points, five assists in the

97
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. As long as he was on the court,

98
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: there was no chance the Nuggets were gonna lose. I

99
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: think he said afterwards, it felt like we were in

100
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: control the whole time. That's because he was in control

101
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the entire time.

102
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right. I think John Hollinger had a

103
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: tweet last night speaking to that. He said, a lot

104
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: of Nuggets games are fake close like this, like that

105
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: one last night, non Jokic minutes will give you hope.

106
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 3: But if you don't have the lead. When Jokic checks

107
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: back in for that final time in the fourth, you're dead.

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: It feels like that in a lot of Nuggets games,

109
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: especially at home, and you're right. I like those analogies

110
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: for Yokic. He also feels like just like water. To me,

111
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: it's inevitable. You can't stop it. It's like it's so

112
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: powerful power. Water scares me when you own a home.

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: It's the most terrifying thing.

114
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Water. Oh my god, hey, Kenn anywhere, you can't stop it.

115
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Paul in the stream team is echoing your sentiments. He said,

116
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: he's like a leaky faucet. Yes, doesn't seem like much,

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: but you look at the water bill and say, damn,

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: that's so true.

119
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: Total, it's so true. Yeah, he was incredible, and look

120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 3: it's only one game. Uh, he is the MVP front runner. Sure,

121
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: Booker maybe right there. We'll get to the Sun's game later.

122
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, like he almost average a triple double last year.

123
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: What he finished a nine point eight assists per game,

124
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 3: just under ten. It's definitely in play and he doesn't

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: even feel like he had a dominant games. That's the

126
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: crazy part, and that's when you're on that superstar level

127
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: like your Lebron's and other guys you know, current and

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: from years past, where it's like, what he didn't even

129
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: have a good game and you're looking at the boss

130
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: score like that's one of the greatest lines still, like

131
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: you can have how is that possible? So yeah, he

132
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 3: was dominant. All right, let's keep it going. Then I

133
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: will go it's just one game. But Anthony Davis's Halloween

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 3: costume very realistic. Here's what I mean by that. We've

135
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: seen some great NBA player Halloween costumes before. We saw

136
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: Lebron as Freddy Krueger, Steph Curry as Jigsaw, John Wall

137
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: as Hot Pizza Man from Blue Streak. That one's underrated,

138
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: but man, none better than Anthony Davis's ghost costume from

139
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: last night in Game one of the NBA season. He

140
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: straight up disappeared in the second half, and it was

141
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: very realistic. Yeah, he was awesome in the first half,

142
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: seventeen points, like you know, he wasn't slowing or stopping Jokic,

143
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: but he was giving a lot back on the other end,

144
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: Like I said, seventeen points, and then in the second

145
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: half over no points. In the final two quarters, he

146
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: only took six field goal attempts and the offense stalled,

147
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: specifically when Lebron was on the bench. That's not gonna

148
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: work here for the Lakers, you know, in the regular

149
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: season and then especially in the playoffs. Again, it's just

150
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: one game. I'm sure Ad will bounce back, but that

151
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: was ooh, that was a tough pill to swallow for

152
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: Lakers fans, going this is the year AD is gonna

153
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: be footing with an MVP Defensive Player of the Year.

154
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: He's gonna take over for Lebron. Lebron's gonna get to

155
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: rest a little bit more, which he didn't. We'll get

156
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: to but no, he's got a like he has to

157
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: take over, and you see this too many times from Ad. Unfortunately.

158
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was fired up watching Ad in the first time.

159
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I thought he looked incredible. He's putting his head down,

160
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: he was looking much faster than any other big guys

161
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: out there. Jokic specifically played an incredible game, but you

162
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: looked at the box score, You're like one rebound. That's odd.

163
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: So half time comes, he does take six shots in

164
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: the second half, just wasn't able to get any to go.

165
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: But the aggression wasn't there. He did pull down seven rebounds,

166
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: which was helpful. Was passing the ball, okay, But the

167
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 1: Lakers need Ad to play at a near MVP level,

168
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: specifically when Lebron is off the court, and we're going

169
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: to get into Lebron's minutes in a little bit here,

170
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: but if Davis isn't able to command the offense when

171
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: Lebron is sitting, that means it's going to fall on

172
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: a guy like D'Angelo Russell, who had eleven points on

173
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: twelve shots last night and was kind of the D'Angelo

174
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Russell you expect out there. So yeah, disappointing second half

175
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: for Anthony Davis. And I'm glad you explained that this

176
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: is a metaphorical Halloween costume because I was like, I

177
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: was searching everything man trying to find Anthony Davis's Halloween

178
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: costume this year. I know Pascal Sakums had his party.

179
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't find anything for Anthony Davis is a metaphors costume.

180
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 3: A ghost and the invisible man.

181
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Or you could he could also say he was a

182
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: Bruce from Survivor doing the disappearing man bit on the boat.

183
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Go check out the I'm gone. Oh wait, I'm back.

184
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

185
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: That's right.

186
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: HB Basketball a ruthless tweet about AD last night. Welcome

187
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: to year four of waiting for Anthony Davis to be

188
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: the best player on the Lakers in the moments they

189
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: need him, and not against small ball lineups in January.

190
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: Oof e ouch. But these are the same complaints here

191
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: that people have consistently had with AD throughout his entire career.

192
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: That specifically, that lack of aggression at times and the

193
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: takeover ability which didn't show up in the second half.

194
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: And you know, Yok had sort of punked him there

195
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: again the first time. They were going back and forth

196
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 3: like he was giving it back to the joker.

197
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: He was scoring on them.

198
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, seventeen's no joke. And then yeah, just nothing there.

199
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: And he talked about it. I gotta shoot more, he

200
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: said all the right things, but rough second half from

201
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: him a big reason why they lost this one. Let's

202
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: get to the final one for this game. What do

203
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: you got, It's just one game. But Lebron is load managing.

204
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 3: Was that a question?

205
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: I guess that was a question. The phrase did, but

206
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: maybe it deserves a period, Skates. Lebron is load managing

207
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty nine minutes for Lebron James last night on Night

208
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: one of the NBA season. He's played under thirty minutes

209
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: in a regular season game seventy eight times. Now, that

210
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: is almost an entire season of basketball. But when you're

211
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: grading on the Lebron curve, it's not quite the same.

212
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: Usually for Lebron, under thirty minutes a game means a

213
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: blowout or the rare case that he's in foul trouble

214
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: or something picks up an injury. Last season, thirty five

215
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and a half minutes per game. Obviously, at the end

216
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: of the season he had the foot injury. It really

217
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: affected him in the playoffs. So the Lakers are optimizing

218
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: for the postseason starting now. But it was kind of

219
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: strange just to see Lebron on a minute's restriction, which

220
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: Darvin Ham said will continue throughout the season. We'll see

221
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: if it stays this low. But six to seven minute

222
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: bursts for Lebron, I guess he played eight in the

223
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, had a bunch of layups, so he looked

224
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: pretty great transition he was out there, Yeah, he looked

225
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: really really strong, just bumping guys out of the way,

226
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: easy dunks, that kind of thing. The jumper wasn't there

227
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: hit the one to three. But yeah, it's weird to

228
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: see Lebron going to the Tim Duncan plan. Like at

229
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: the end of Tim Duncan's career, he was awesome when

230
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: he was on the court, but he has also played

231
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: like twenty five minutes a game. It just never felt

232
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: like that would happen for Lebron. But I guess if

233
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: he wants to play with his middle child, his second son,

234
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: he's got to extend the career even longer than we

235
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: were expecting.

236
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is uh. I mean it's one game, but

237
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: the fewest minutes Lebron has averaged in his career was

238
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: thirty three point four in the season coming out of

239
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: the bubble, and that was when the Lakers had the

240
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: shortest offseason in NBA history, So that made a little

241
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: sense with the quick turnaround, But yeah, will we really

242
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: see Lebron like twenty eight, twenty nine to thirty minutes

243
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: per game? Is that going to be a plan that

244
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: Ham implements, that the Lakers can stick to and that

245
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: Lebron can stick to you. That's the big thing to me,

246
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 3: because if they win, sure, yeah, I'm sure he's happy

247
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: with it. If they lose games like this and they

248
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 3: do not you know, produce when he's on the bench,

249
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: then this will not last all that long. I will

250
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: tell you that he will be back to you know,

251
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: thirty five plus because he's going to want to get

252
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 3: the w's. But yeah, after one game like look this,

253
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: this should be the game plan. The guy is in

254
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: twenty one seasons here.

255
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean it, Yeah, he's nearly thirty nine.

256
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: Yes, but you're gonna need Ad to step up and

257
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: some of these other guys when he's on the bench.

258
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna need a d specifically to step up. I

259
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: also didn't think that the Lakers got a ton from

260
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: ruiy Hachamura, who will probably assume a lot of Lebron

261
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: responsibilities when he's sitting. Gave Vincent made some shots, but

262
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: I thought it kind of an underwhelming game from him

263
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: as well. And then you know Christian Wood and Cam

264
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: Reddish I thought played decent. Cam Reddish gave pretty solid

265
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: effort out there. What is a good scoring big off

266
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: the bench? But if Lebron is sitting, somebody's got to

267
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: be able to create shots for other people. Nobody was

268
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: doing that last night.

269
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 3: Final thoughts here on this game, what do you think

270
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: about the Nuggets crowd chanting who's your daddy at the

271
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: end of this one as they put it away to

272
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: the Lakers.

273
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Of course, it's funny.

274
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: I mean I thought it was great. It was a

275
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 3: good chance you could understand what they were saying. Yeah,

276
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: he leaned into it. And yeah, all the talk, especially

277
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: from the Lakers side heading into this one, ad even

278
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, saying how upset they were and they're gonna

279
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: like send a message and instead the Nuggets fans got

280
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 3: to clown them a little bit.

281
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: It's kind of odd to me actually, because like this

282
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: comes from Vic Lombardi introducing Michael Malone as the Lakers daddy. Yes,

283
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the players.

284
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Malone didn't say it.

285
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Malone didn't say it. Yeah, it's just the broadcaster that

286
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: said it. But the Lakers just are going to have

287
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: to deal with it. And you saw Jamal Murray saying,

288
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: look what you started, man, talking to Mike Malone. Now

289
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: we got to go on the road and deal with this.

290
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: That'll be the problem when they are finally like not

291
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: into their own barn and having a deal with the

292
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: Lakers fans. But you know, when Lebron came back from

293
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: the three one deficit against the Warriors. He threw a

294
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Halloween party with Warriors tombstones on it, So I can't

295
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: be too upset.

296
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: No, right, No, for sure. I thought the Lakers tired

297
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: a little bit as this game went on there in

298
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets sort of found their legs.

299
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: We were talking about duos. Remember we ranked them, we

300
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 3: did the tiers, and we had Jamal Murray and Yolkic

301
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: very high. But there's been a lot of talk recently

302
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: about like, ooh, is Giannis and Dean going to be

303
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: the greatest like pick and roll action in the league.

304
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 3: It might be, but man, it's gonna be tough to

305
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: knock off Yo kicch and Jamal Murray when they got

306
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: that going the you know, the dribble handoffs and the

307
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: p and R Like there was that one in the

308
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: fourth quarter where it's Murray and Jokic pick and roll. Obviously,

309
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: the Lakers collapse a little bit on Jamal because he's

310
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 3: a threat to score and he had to go in

311
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: there in the second half. So Jokic gets to the

312
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: free throw line, ball finds him. Now it's four on three,

313
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: and you got the greatest passer maybe of all time,

314
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: at least from a big guy. He just kicks it

315
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: to Michael Porter Junior, wide open in the weak side,

316
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: bangs the corner three, and then time out because it's like,

317
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: well that's that's not good. And they could just and

318
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: they kept going to it. I mean, they are just

319
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: so dangerous, the two of them, mainly because of the

320
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: ability of Yokic to pass the ball. And just like,

321
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: did you see that one play. I know it wasn't

322
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: a pass where Jokic tipped up to himself. It was

323
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: early in the game in the first quarter, Like the

324
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: ball is gonna get picked off, yeah, and this guy

325
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: realizes it, tips the ball basically just up like over

326
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: the defender, grabs it and like goes from there. It's

327
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: like that's just next level thinking, man, And this is

328
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: just incredible touch.

329
00:14:59,400 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Though.

330
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: Those two are so dangerous, man.

331
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: The continuity and the chemistry for the Nuggets was apparent

332
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: on the very first night of the season. It looked

333
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: like they picked off picked up right where they left

334
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: off last season. Twenty nine for Jokic, Murray had twenty

335
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: one and six. That'll get to the All Star Game.

336
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: It felt like he touched the ball for two minutes

337
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: in this game. As soon as he got it, bang

338
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: a bucket, Casey p twenty points. I thought he was

339
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: awesome last night, as was Aaron Gordon. He had fifteen,

340
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: hit a big three in the second half. And then

341
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior, he struggled last night, couldn't find a shot,

342
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: finished with tall points and you gotta love twelve rebounds

343
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: from him as well. So great stuff from the Nuggets

344
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: starting lineup. They were the best starting lineup in the

345
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: league last year. They were the best starting lineup through

346
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Looks like they're probably the best starting line

347
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: up still in the NBA.

348
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: All right, let's move to the Suns and Warriors. The

349
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: second game last night. I'll get it started. It's just

350
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: one game, but point Book sealed the Sun's victory. Point

351
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: Book because he was playmaking down the stretch. He was

352
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: using the threat of scoring, obviously to assist on Phoenix's

353
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 3: final eight points in a tight game here that they

354
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: got back into in the fourth quarter. In the final

355
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 3: seventy seconds, Booker stealed the game with passing three consecutive possessions.

356
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: He found Josha Kogi for a corner three, he found

357
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: Eric Gordon for a wing three and then beautiful play

358
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: with Nurkic on the roll about ten seconds left to

359
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: ice the game. I thought it was a nice finish

360
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: there from H two inside it had a great game.

361
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: So like this idea, no beal in this one. They

362
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: obviously don't have Chris Paul anymore. It's like who's going

363
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: to be the point guard. It was like a mixed

364
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: bag because there was some bad turnovers from Booker. Even

365
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: right before the final couple possessions, he had some turnovers,

366
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: two bad ones. Yeah, and I think he finished with

367
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: six turnovers overall, but eight assists. And he can do

368
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: this and especially for specific moments in a game close.

369
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: I love he's just so lethal in the first quarter

370
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: if he can set up a game with like, oh,

371
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: he's got thirteen points right away, and all you're thinking

372
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: now is this guy's attacking, scoring, scoring, scoring, And then

373
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: he become more of a playmaker because he got to

374
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: put two on them and obviously get the ball out

375
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: his hands. I thought he made some he passes here,

376
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: especially the one in the corner there and that one

377
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: to nurk So good stuff there from point.

378
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Book Yeah, he was using the threat of his scoring

379
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: to open up shots for other people. I think he

380
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: said on both of the three pointers he was looking

381
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: to score, he like went up to shoot the ball,

382
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: but then it was a double team, so he found

383
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: the open guy. A Kogi knocked one down. That was

384
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: a huge shot from him. Eric Gordon's gonna be a

385
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: big time player for the Suns. And then yeah, you're right,

386
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: that Nurkic finish was surprisingly athletic. He's just incredible on

387
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: that one. I was a little worried for the Suns

388
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: down the stretch because, like you're saying, it looked like

389
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: Booker was a little over taxed when he had those turnovers,

390
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: the one where he just lost the ball going left

391
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: out of bounds and then like he started break dancing

392
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: in the lane on that travel. I have no idea

393
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: how well that happened, but back to back turnovers basically,

394
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: but then the patients the poise to actually find the

395
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: shooters and find Nurkic for the layup. That was clutch

396
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: stuff from Devin Booker. And this is what Superstar Death

397
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: is all about. One Star is out in Bradley Beal Yep,

398
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: couldn't even make it past game one. Come on, guy,

399
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: another guy struggling, and Kevin Durant did not have a

400
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: great shooting night at all, taking some really tough shots.

401
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: But you still got Devin Booker, the best of the three,

402
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: who's making a name for himself once again. Definitely gonna

403
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: be in the mix for MVP this season because if

404
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: he's still playing with Kevin Durant and scoring thirty a

405
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: game and having clutch assists, like that's awesome. Yeah, Durant

406
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be happy, I think to take a little

407
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: bit of a step back and Booker is going to carry.

408
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: Some at this point in their careers. Like current day,

409
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: Devin Booker is the best player on the Suns. Yes

410
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: he is, I mean, and that is not a knock

411
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: against Kevin Durant. That's just saying how great Devin Booker

412
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: is and has been. Like hearing some other podcasts like

413
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 3: talk about this idea, like this might be the year

414
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: Devin Booker is a top five MVP guy. He already

415
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: has been.

416
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Man might be the two.

417
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: Years ago, wasn't he didn't he finish fourth in the

418
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: MVP vote like he's been on the short list. He

419
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: missed time last year. So it's like I rolled my

420
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: eyes a little bit at that, like he's done this

421
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: for a while now. But yeah, awesome first game, thirty

422
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: two points, eight assists, six boards, thirteen to twenty one shooting,

423
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: hit three threes, three or three at the line, six turnovers.

424
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: You want to you want to obviously show that they

425
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: had nineteen as a team, which you know they nearly

426
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: gave away this game if we're being honest. But he

427
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 3: was awesome. All right, next one? What do you got

428
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 3: for this?

429
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: It's just one game, But the Warriors can't win without Draymond.

430
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: Another possible not overreaction here. I thought the Warriors looked

431
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: very small last night with Chris Paul in the starting

432
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: lineup for Draymond Green, who's out with an ankle injury.

433
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Basically three guards in Steph, Chris Paul, and Klay Thompson.

434
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: Wiggins was playing last night in the starting lineup. He

435
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: had zero defensive rebounds one offensive rebound on the night,

436
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: and then Kevon Looney did his thing. Then you look

437
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: at the bench, mostly small guys, even their backup center

438
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: Darius Sharich, He's a small ball center. Kuminga and Moody

439
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: I thought were pretty solid last night, but on the

440
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: defensive end. The Warriors obviously are missing Draymond's communication and

441
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: his rim protection and just everything he brings as a

442
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: defensive player, but just his size and tenacity I thought

443
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: was definitely missing for the Warriors last night, which will

444
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: be a problem if Draymond's injury extends, or if he

445
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: picks up another one a little bit later in the season,

446
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: and he is still right behind Steph Curry when it

447
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: comes to key players for the Warriors. Because on the

448
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: offensive side, I thought even almost worse missing Draymond. They

449
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: look so stagnant, stagnant to me. The third quarter was

450
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: nice forty points, but otherwise twenty eight in the first

451
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: quarter and then just eighteen in the second quarter, eighteen

452
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: again in the fourth quarter. This is the biggest offensive

453
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: change that they've had bringing in Chris Paul basically since

454
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Russell was in town. He was a big time

455
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: ball handler, took up a lot of share of the possessions.

456
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: But Steph Curry only played five games that season. Obviously,

457
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Dilo was traded at the trade deadline. They're gonna have

458
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: to figure things out between Chris Paul and Steph CURRK

459
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: because I think you want to play through Steph Curry

460
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: a little bit more than they did last night, and

461
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: once Draymond Green comes back, I think that happens a

462
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: lot more because there's nobody better at getting Steph open

463
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: shots now Draymond.

464
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: No, it will be fascinating to see whether Chris Paul

465
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: goes to the bench when Draymond comes back to obviously

466
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: the starting lineup, Like what do they do there? Are

467
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 3: they starting Looney alongside him and Chris Paul goes to

468
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 3: the bench. I mean, I can't wait to see what

469
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 3: they do. But yeah, this could take some time, is

470
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: what we're getting out here. And doesn't help that Draymond

471
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: instrumental part to all their success, especially defensively and playmaking

472
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 3: like you said, and getting stuff open, isn't there? Yeah?

473
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: I thought Moody and Kuminga were okay. Uminga missed two

474
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: big free throws. Yeah, down the stretch he bricked those,

475
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 3: but overall not not bad. And what about Chris Paul

476
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: in a Warrior's jersey is still strange to you. I

477
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 3: know we saw any preseason.

478
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Chance man, Yeah, I know that was weird. Eleven turnovers

479
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: though for the Warriors, that's good for them. That's been

480
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: one of their bugaboos throughout the dynasty years. But I

481
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I was checking old. I was checking the

482
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: tracking data, skeets. You know, it's sick of time and

483
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: you're checking the tracking data. Forty front court touches for

484
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, only twenty for Steph Curry. That should be flipped. Wow,

485
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: which is why he's going to go to the bench.

486
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: They talked about on the broadcast so much last night

487
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: that Chris Paul his ultimate role with this team will

488
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: be quarterbacking the second unit, which I think helps and

489
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: I think is part of the reason you saw the

490
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Warriors look still good in the third quarter. Paul was cooking,

491
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: he was doing his grifting foul stuff, and the Warriors

492
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: were loving it. They're like, finally, finally he's grifting someone else,

493
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: not us. Got Kuminga shots, he got Moody shots. That's

494
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: gonna be the value there, I think. But for now

495
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: they're just gonna have to figure out a way to

496
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: make it not so much your turn, my.

497
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 3: Turn, absolutely all right, final one here from this game.

498
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: It's just one game. But the Suns are deep enough.

499
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 3: I think we saw it after Game one. I think

500
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: they got enough guys there to go with their superstars,

501
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: and they were missing Beal of course in this one.

502
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: But you look at the box score and they got

503
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: a lot of contributions. Now I will say, Drew you Banks,

504
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: he got the backup center spot, yeah, and reps. He

505
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: started awful like it was two moving screens, another turnover,

506
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 3: you know, missing defensive rebounds. But then he got it going.

507
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 3: He settled into his role and he gave him seven rebounds,

508
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: three blocks off the bench. That's good. Watanabi hitting threes,

509
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: we expect that he hit two of them, shot three

510
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 3: or five overall. And then like Eric Gordon, he was

511
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: letting it fly. Yeah, he's gonna have a lot of

512
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: game that are like three of nine, three of ten

513
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 3: from deep. He was two and nine in game one.

514
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 3: And then even like okay, Grayson Allen got the starters

515
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 3: in there because No Bill probably brutal. He was brutal,

516
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: but he had one big rebound where Booker had missed

517
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: a three, and he fought his ass off to tip

518
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: it out and they gave him another possession and actually

519
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 3: ended in a Booker three. So he did the little

520
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: things there. And then nurklike we said, a Kogi was

521
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 3: incredible seven and nine and the defense he you know,

522
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: he did a pretty good job of like staying as

523
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 3: attached as possible to those incredible Warriors guards. I thought

524
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 3: he was awesome. There's enough guys here to contribute, and

525
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: that was without bal So that's the depth. I don't know.

526
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: I don't think it's as big a deal as maybe

527
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: we made if they come through like this, like at

528
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: least three or four of their guys playing really well.

529
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: I'm talking to the other starters and some of the

530
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: guys off the bench.

531
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: I mean they had seven guys play well.

532
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah they did.

533
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grayson Allen was very bad. Josha Koge great shot

534
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: and he was incredible. And I agree with you, Eric Gordon,

535
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: I think is gonna be one of the keys to

536
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: this team. He plays off the ball and he can

537
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: shoot it from deep, like you're saying. But then, one

538
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: thing that the Sons are going to be lacking at

539
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: times is somebody who puts their head down and gets

540
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: to the rim, and Gordon was doing that last night.

541
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: I thought he was playing downhill quite a bit. But

542
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm just happy everybody is here to join me and

543
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Drew at you Banks's half acre homestead he doesn't get

544
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: a whole island man. No, it's not possible. But now

545
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: that he's a tampering candidate, oh yeah, I think it's

546
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: more people will be joining me on the farm land

547
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: where we grow. He own food. The athleticism, the activity,

548
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: the rim protection. He's going to close some games, I

549
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: do believe for the Suns. He's also going to get

550
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: dunked on quite a bit. And I thought he was

551
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna puke his guts out.

552
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

553
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: He played like a super long stretch of minutes at

554
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: very high activity. The guy was flush in the face.

555
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: You could tell he was oversweaty.

556
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: I thought Zilla had a good note in his newsletter

557
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: this morning, the Sun's peace, especially in that first half.

558
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 3: It's a nice little wrinkle here that could make this

559
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 3: offense even more unstoppable.

560
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Like I liked.

561
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 3: Phoenix, like, let's go, let's play, And he wondered, Ziller did,

562
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: is that one of Phoenix's anti Denver wrinkles? You know,

563
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: try and go Denver into a bit of a track meet.

564
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: And you know, because the Nuggats are brilliant, as we

565
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 3: talked about in the half court setting, I mean, you

566
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 3: got yo kitchen Jamal running p and r the next

567
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 3: one stoppable. So I think that's a smart game plan.

568
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 3: Whether it works or not, we'll see. And Denver doesn't

569
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 3: mind to run either. And they've got some athletes, especially

570
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: in their second unit.

571
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: But no way Yokic can stick with you Banks.

572
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: That's right, he's the stopper. We have found the Jokic

573
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 3: stopper in a track meet horse meat. We got some

574
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: news here right before we take our first break, Seam

575
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 3: says on Twitter about seven minutes ago, after ten days away,

576
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: James Harden has reported back to the Philadelphia seventy six

577
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 3: ers for practice today. He's back. There are rumors going

578
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: around that maybe he was gone for family issues, maybe

579
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: there was something wrong with his I think his mom

580
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: may have been ill. So hopefully everything's okay there. But yeah,

581
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 3: I guess James Harden is back at practice. Is he

582
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 3: playing tonight?

583
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: They don't play tonight?

584
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: Right, they don't play tonight?

585
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: Oh the rare teams Milwaukee on Thursday.

586

Speaker 3: There you go, Okay, Well, we'll find out whether I

587
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,879

588
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: then whether or not he's playing Thursday night. I didn't

589
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: realize they were the one of the teams that weren't

590
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,400

00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: domestic violence incidents. Is this news? And did you see

618
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: this clip here of I shot a sort of pressing Silver.

619
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: I did. I will say this is minor news. I

620
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: really appreciate Charles Barkley asking this question. Apparently, according to

621
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: Richard Ditsch at The Athletic, this was unscripted, like they

622
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: were really supposed to go to commercial and Charles Barkley

623
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: hopped in and asked an important question. Yep from Adam Silver.

624
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: Not much of an answer, No, no, Silver. I didn't think.

625
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: It's probably a tricky situation for him since he representing

626
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: the league and there could be legal ramifications for what

627
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: he says, which is why he heard him talking about

628
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: alleged incidents. But I totally agree with Charles Barkley that

629
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: the league should be doing something, mostly about Miles Bridges

630
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous that the guy's still around the team. And

631
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: you hear Silver talking about the new domestic violence policies

632
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: that they have in place. Yep, he should use them.

633
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought he really tried to deflect the question.

634
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: I guess initially because he said something about the league

635
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: was not in competition with other sports to be at

636
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: the forefront of the issue. I know what he means

637
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: by that. He's like, this is not just an US problem,

638
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: this should be all of us. But it came off weird.

639
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: And then he also said, quote, the consequences are enormous.

640
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: Have they been They have not yet been.

641
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,239
Speaker 3: No, they have it, So that was odd. You know.

642
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: He did talk about, yeah, working with the Players Association

643
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: and the revamped program on how to handle domestic violence accusations.

644
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 3: But yeah, kudos to Barkley for asking it. I mean,

645
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: I can't believe had to find out whether this was scripted.

646
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: This is Charles fucking Barkley. Nothing is scripted, guys, nothing

647
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: at all. Now I get it. Maybe Silver comes in

648
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: and they want to go over Oh these are good questions,

649
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: not with Barkley, but Katie Hindell I said I saw

650
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: on Twitter had a good point too, just the fact

651
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: that this was out there in a in front of

652
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: a big audience who otherwise otherwise may not like give

653
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: this a second thought. Usually is something there. So again

654
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: Barkley coming through at least asking the question, and did

655
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: Silver handle it? Well, I don't think so. You should

656
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: have been prepared for it. You are sitting down with

657
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley. Yea, but yeah, it's like the consequences are enormous.

658
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: Was the biggest Like, what, No, they haven't you know,

659
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: they haven't yet been And you're right, it's these are

660
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: accusations and allegations and you got to let the legality,

661
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: you know, play out.

662
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: But it's also your league.

663
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: And you know, as we talked about with the Kevin

664
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: Porter junior thing, like he's moved in a deal that

665
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: helps both teams and this guy, you know, it's a

666
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: bad look overall.

667
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, Chuck gives the impression that the league does

668
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: not care about these incidents, but Charles Barkley does. It

669
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't be Charles barkley responsibility to do that, but

670
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: on the first night of the NBA season to actually

671
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: ask that question, I thought it was awesome of him.

672
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 3: Next one here from variety. New York Knicks signed jersey

673
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: patch deal with the Las Vegas Sphere. Is this news?

674
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't think this is news. No, but I love it, okay,

675
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: because my kids had a fun run recently at their

676
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: school and Laura and I donated some money to it.

677
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: But we donated enough money that we got to get

678
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: sponsorship status. So we use the No Dunk's logo and everything.

679
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: Oh wow, and this is the exact same. This is

680
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: the exact same at a billion dollar level.

681
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: Right.

682
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks and the owner

683
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: of the Sphere, said Hey, I'm advertising my cool arena.

684
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: I'll put on my shirt because I like the look

685
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: of my logo on my shirt. I totally identify with that.

686
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: The Sphere is cool, but this logo is not very cool.

687
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: Now.

688
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: We could do better than that, can't we.

689
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: It's a diaphragm.

690
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 3: Looks like a swim cap, like you said before we

691
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 3: went on the air. Yeah, the Sphere logo. It's gonna

692
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: appear on the Knick's home and away game jerseys as

693
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: well as well as on the club's practice jersey and

694
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: warm up shirts. And I guess the jerseys sold at

695
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: Madison Square gardens in arena retail locations will also feature

696
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: that sphere logo. I didn't really realize that the Knicks

697
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: were one of four teams that played without a jersey

698
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: partner last season. Didn't know that. I mean had square

699
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: space for a while, but didn't have one last year. So, yeah,

700
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: Dolan owns the sphere. He's like, why not slap it

701
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: on there? This has already happened in the NBA. In

702
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: reading about this, Mickey Errison the Carnival cruise line is

703
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 3: now on the Heat uniforms. He owns both of those,

704
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: so you know Dolan following suit here. But yeah. According

705
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: to Sportico, the NBA's top three jersey sponsorships generated roughly

706
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: one hundred million last season in total. Top three the Warriors,

707
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: the Nets, and the Lakers. I guess Dolan was looking

708
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 3: for thirty million for a patch from a company and

709
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: nobody was willing to go that far, so he said,

710
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: we'll take the sphere.

711
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: Nobody went for that, huh.

712
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: I know, it's kind of surprising a little bit.

713
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: Considering the Nets are so high on the sponsorship deal.

714
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Funny, funny quote here from a CNBC article. Two

715
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: guy's name is Bob Dorfman, it's just all right, Okay.

716
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: He's a sports marketing analyst and creative director at Pinnacle Advertising. Anyway,

717
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: he's asked about this and he says, quote, the sphere

718
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 3: is the entertainment entity of the future. The attention it's getting,

719
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: it's spectacular. It's a mind boggling venue. The Knicks certainly

720
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 3: could use the attention and clout of a facility like that.

721
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: End quote.

722
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 3: Alright, easy, Bob. I mean it's cool, it looks awesome.

723
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: I want to go. But he's saying, like, this is

724
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: a good this is incredible for the Knicks. Man that

725
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: they are going to They're gonna bring in so many

726
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: arena fans into the NBA. What is he talking about?

727
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: The architecture lovers.

728
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know about the Knicks and basketball. I

729
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: love the spear though, so let's tune in. Man.

730
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: I hate designing my own website, but I love a

731
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: premium audio experience. I'm a k Necks fan. Now, yeah,

732
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: do you.

733
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: Think, uh, potentially we'll see the next play in the sphere.

734
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: Well, somebody's got to play in this sphere, so you

735
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: would assume it's the Knicks get first DIBs.

736
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Knick should really try in this

737
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: in season tournament and then we could have the games

738
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 3: there in Vegas.

739
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean eventually you have to imagine they'll be there.

740
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not?

741
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: That'd be awesome.

742
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 3: Be sick all right? Next outline here, final one from

743
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: Front Office Sports. Netflix enlists Lebron and Peyton Manning for

744
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: NBA player focused series. Is this news?

745
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? This is news Lebron, Peyton Manny and the Obamas.

746
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's for combo. Yeah, that's right to gather companies.

747
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, to make a show about NBA players. I will

748
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: watch it if Lebron is in it. I want to

749
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: see his routine. I want to see how he spends

750
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: a million dollars on his body.

751
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think he'll be in it.

752
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Loves the narrative he does. Indeed, Patrick

753
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes was in the Quarterback one, and that guy's like

754
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: the biggest star in the NFL.

755
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is based off this idea. Netflix's eight part

756
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: Quarterback was The series followed three quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes of

757
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 3: the Chiefs, Kirk Cousins of the Vikings, and Marcus Mariota

758
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 3: of the then Atlanta Falcons. During the twenty two NFL season.

759
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: Did you watch a second of it? No? I watched

760
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 3: an episode or two. Yeah, it's fine. Fine, And then

761
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, you know, I like I put

762
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 3: it on Nora sitting beside me. I'm like, oh, this

763
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 3: is gonna be cool. Like some of these sports docks

764
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: or whatever docu series, they are great and she'll get

765
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: into them. This one didn't hook her nap, so then

766
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: it was see you later. Sorry, Yeah, sorry, I don't

767
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 3: want to watch this by myself.

768
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

769
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 3: Well the Tour de France one, that one's pretty fun.

770
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: A lot of docs out there.

771
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: Okay, but you're gonna watch this as long as.

772
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: Uh don't depend on the personnel involved. We'll see who

773
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: they draft.

774
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you, like, could you give

775
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 3: me NBA comparisons for for Mahomes, Cousins and Marcus Mariota.

776
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Mahomes, let's go with Nikola Jokic. Okay, current best

777
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: players in the league. They play a style unique to

778
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: them as well. You see Mahomes throw passes that you've

779
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: never seen any body else throw, as does Nikola Jokic. Okay,

780
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins.

781
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 3: Who is the.

782
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins Pascal Siakam, Kirk Cousins, Okay, pretty good player,

783
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: not the greatest player, can lead their team to a

784
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: playoff Berth Maybe not all the way, so somewhere in

785
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: the middle, all right, And I don't know how it

786
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: relates spin move. And then who is Marcus Mariota.

787
00:35:59,160 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough.

788
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,399
Speaker 1: That one is, indeed a tough one.

789
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 3: Like, what's what's his story?

790
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: He was a hot I think he won the Heisman

791
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: when he was in college for Oregon, but he has

792
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: not been a great NFL player, and he was.

793
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 3: Drafted second overall. You're right, okay, so he struggled here

794
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: in the league.

795
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not James Wiseman, Markel Fultz, Markel Fults. Okay,

796
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: I'll take you. I'll take you. That's good one. Okay.

797
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 3: So would you watch an NBA show that followed Jokic,

798
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 3: Siakam and Markel Fults.

799
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: I'd watched the watch that I'd like.

800
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't mind how we did that, don't mind those players.

801
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: I think there's something there, all right, that's his this

802
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 3: news we got another fun segment here. Thy'll connect five

803
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: we've done once before. Explain it though, I'll give you

804
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 3: five NBA players. You tell me how they're related.

805
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: Simple, simple, simple, But it's not it's simple considering it

806
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: could be anything. Yeah, literally anything that connects these people.

807
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: Here are your five roster slots for today. Wilt Amberlin,

808
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Elgin, Baylor, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving. What do

809
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: these five players have in common?

810
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 3: Okay, just saying one more time, Wilt.

811
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: Wilt, Jordan, elgind Baylor, Anthony Davis, and Kyrie.

812
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's not as easy as scoring over

813
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 3: a particular number of points in a game. Is sixty

814
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: point games? Like, they've all had some massive ones. Well,

815
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: you're making a reaction to that. I will, I will

816
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 3: allow this. They all, I mean, they all scored over

817
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: fifty on an opening night. Oh am, I right nailed it.

818
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: Yes, five players ever have scored fifty or more in

819
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: a season opener. Will is the most, fifty six points

820
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixty two season opener the San Francisco

821
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: Warriors versus the Detroit Maybe Pistons, maybe not. Jordan did

Speaker 1: it twice, fifty four in the eighty nine season opener,

823
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,640

826
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving in his first game with the Brooklyn Knight.

827
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: I remember that. That's why I went with that because

828
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 3: I think I just saw a clip going around of like, yeah,

829
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: Kyrie scored fifty in this first NETS game, and I

830
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: was like, oh, yeah, I remember talking about that. Yeah,

831
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: it wasn't I couldn't remember the ad one, but it

832
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 3: felt like something he could have done then obviously the

833
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 3: other guys. Yeahs fuckers. Yes, good one. That was faster

834
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: than the last one. Yeah, connect five. All right, good stuff.

835
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: Let's take our final break when we come back. Magic

842
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: a video of the new Nuggets Championship Ring. What do

843
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 3: you think about this?

844
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: Trey Herby thing is sick. Yeah, it showed us like

845
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: a preview ring before and it looked pretty low key.

846
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: And then they came out with this, suckers. I love

847
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: how much gold is in it, the nuggets, you know,

848
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: gold nuggets. Yep. And I love the pinky ring that

849
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: pulls out from the side with the little banner on it.

850
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: That looks incredible.

851
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know they got the altitude on there

852
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: as well.

853
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: Absolutely there it is.

854
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this little part is neat where you can

855
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: like spin that little thing on the top of the

856
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 3: ring and then the blue comes in. That looks pretty

857
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: damn sharp.

858
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

859
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: That's a nice looking ring there.

860
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: It's a nice ring.

861
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 3: Good stuff from Jason of Beverly Hills. You've done it again, Jason.

862
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: Jason, what a craftsman. Is there any horse references on there?

863
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been cool. Yeah, horseshoe, Oh, that

864
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 3: would have been neat for your kitsch.

865
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

866
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 3: Or do you think he gives them to the horses?

867
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: Do all the horses get a ring?

868
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: They don't have fingers many.

869
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: Maybe bigger ones that you slide on there, sized ring.

870
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: Jason could do it. Jason could do anything.

871
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: All right. So that's good stuff. We are thumbs up,

872
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 3: I guess on the Denver Nuggets rings. Any thoughts on

873
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: the the whole championship celebration and the banner going up

874
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: and all that.

875
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: Two takeaways from me. Favorite quote was when Aaron Gordon

876
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: took the mic and was like, yo yo yo, I'm

877
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: going to enter the Classic factory from now on, yo

878
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: yo yo.

879
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 3: He also had quite the fit coming through the tunnel.

880
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, chest out. I wore a cardigan today.

881
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 3: I was thinking about going bare chest, but I don't

882
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: know if enough people saw D'Angelo Russell didn't want to

883
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: show the hamburger met. The other takeaway I had was

884
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 3: the Nuggets championship banner said NBA champions, not champions.

885
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: Did not did not say that.

886
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: I didn't even notice that. Yeah. I thought it was

887
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 3: pretty good overall. I thought it was like fairly quick too.

888
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fifteen minutes, yeah exactly.

889
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole clips up on YouTube. Yeah, I think

890
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 3: it is fourteen or fifteen minutes. It was good, solid,

891
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: that's you do it, and the crowd was into it,

892
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: especially for an early start for that Denver crowd.

893
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: Uh.

894
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 3: The second tweeter of the night, it's from Magic Johnson.

895
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he tweeted last night tonight we learned the

896
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 3: world champion Denver Nuggets are going to be very tough

897
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: to beat in the NBA playoffs. Uh so, yeah, he

898
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 3: thinks they're gonna be tough and he did go world champion.

899
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great, great point.

900
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,479
Speaker 3: He spits in the eye. Do you agree of people

901
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: that are they world champions.

902
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna be tough to beat in the NBA? pH?

903
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely agree.

904
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: But he said it first. So that's his take. Thanks, Magic,

905
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: good to have you. You're just copying Magic. Oh you

906
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: think the Nuggets are good in the playoffs? Heard it? Geez?

907
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: Magic did it?

908
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 3: You're gonna get third degree burned with that take though.

909
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: That's a hot take there, Magic, Holy crap, slow down,

910
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: not on the first night, save Salmon chamber Man. All right,

911
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 3: there's tweet the night the Nuggets rings and Magic Johnson

912
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 3: back in our life. We'll call it there. Trying and

913
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 3: keep the shows a little tighter this year, but don't worry,

914
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 3: tomorrow show will be like ninety minutes because we have

915
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 3: twelve games on. It's a chunky you got, John Mayer.

916
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it's a solo acoustic arena tour.

917
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, how does that work? I'll let you know. I

918
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: think I'll have a chance to check in on some

919
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: of these games.

920
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 2: For a buddy of mine went to the first time

921
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: around with John Mayer and said it was amazing.

922
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: It must be like, yeah.

923
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: Got some nerve just to be playing an acoustic.

924
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 2: And this is his second time through and that same

925
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: show Wonderwall, God, your body has a Wonderwall.

926
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,640
