Speaker 2: Would be back, and we promised and look, promises kept promises.

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: May I think that's what the that's how the phrase

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: goes in that order, exactly promises and then promises made,

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: but we kept them. But today we've got career highs

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: and a record nights of scoring. The Sixers are streaking

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: in the good way. The Cats and Sons are also

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: on there, and head coaches are being replaced, and plenty

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: more to discuss with our guy NBA analyst Raj Chapalu

00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: cover the Lakers, but you know, as people know, this

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: is obviously an informal Lakers podcast. We won't be talking

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: about them because there's much healthier things to discuss in

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 2: the league today.

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: Man, I remember when scoring seventy used to mean something.

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: I just saw some one a tweet.

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 4: Get truly get out of here, Get out of here

25
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: with that, watching basketball, Get out of here with that.

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 4: They never did it. MJ never put up seventy. Yeah,

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: that's true.

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: What you like what sixty nine? Sixty eight?

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah you go to sixty nine. Yeah, but still.

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: It's one one point off.

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's definitely I think the biggest

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: news as as of today, as of this recording, Embiid

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid putting Joel Embiid.

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: Yes, Joel Embiid. We will get to my plans for Joel.

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: Embiid when we welcome him to the Lakers.

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 4: Weeks for him. Last week late Miles and Jabbari decided

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: that he was worthy of wearing the purple and gold.

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: He responds by honoring Kobe Bryant getting up seventy on

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: the anniversary of Kobe's eighty one. He in the post

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 4: game was like, you know, Kobe was my favorite player,

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: Like you, you're you must have known that. That was

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: a clear message to you and other Lakers fans that

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,559
Speaker 4: get me. Yeah, come pick me up. I've been here forever.

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: I'm so bored. I want you to be Lakers.

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: And also Jabari points out something very true also that

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Joel and Be clearly listener of this podcast just based

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: on all that he knows.

49
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: He knows, he's seen, he's heard.

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: But yeah, very popular podcast with the players even say

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: oh yeah.

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: I mean I can't stop players saying, hey, please keep

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: my name out your mouth. But yeah, with that, seventy

54
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: points breaks Wilt Chamberlain's franchise record versus wen beg Yama

55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: the Spurs, I do before we talk about Embiid. Wen

56
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: beIN Yalma also had a really good game despite the loss.

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, offensively so sly.

58
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: I think I think this game officially puts his uh

59
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: my prediction that he was going to be defensive player

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: of the Year away. I don't think that's happening after

61
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: he gave up seventy. But yeah, he I mean he

62
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: looked good. I love the clip of Embiid walking out

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: seeing how tall he is and uh.

64
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Everybody, yeah like Embiid.

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: I think it was that was before the tip, right

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: when Embiid was walking behind him and he did this

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: face like what is this okay?

68
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: He was sort of like being like all right, dude.

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: That was like his dispositions are of looking at him like,

70
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: we get it, You're gigantic, we get it. And then

71
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: Kelly oubre June, you're doing the let me just bring

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: let me see how I stack up to you. And

73
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: then I like how his face it was like a

74
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: full comedic performance. He's like, okay, a lot taller than.

75
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I see that. I see that.

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: And Beid is now averaging more points per minute than

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: Wilt Chamberlain did in his fifty points per game season.

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: So wow, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's durable.

79
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. Play the guy.

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: What'd you make of that seventy pointer?

81
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 5: Well, I was just gonna tell you know, Jack, welcome

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: to the club of having your favorite player score seventy plus.

83
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 5: You know, that's like a very exclusive club to be

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 5: a part of, and we are a part of that club. No, seventy,

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 5: Yeah is seventy Mitchell guy, right, Yeah, yeah, I forgot

86
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: he did. He did it as well. Seventy is seventy.

87
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: Man.

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: I've seen people try to downplay it with the free

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: throws or the flailing, which Embads definitely is a part of.

90
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: But I mean, seventies is tough. That's it's a legit

91
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 5: point total, no matter you know, how you get to that,

92
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 5: get to that range, and Bead's one of the best

93
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,679
Speaker 5: scorers in the league. Has that thirty and ten streat

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 5: going crazy? Yeah, I thought that was I thought that

95
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: was nuts. What it tells me, though, I still don't

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: think anyone's touching the eighty one, Like I just I

97
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 5: just don't. I don't see it. I just don't think

98
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 5: anyone's getting to that number.

99
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: I know. He part of me felt a little bit like, eh,

100
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you think he had time to get close

101
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: to eighty, but you know, Jack wanting out like he

102
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: was definitely the tank was emptying rapidly.

103
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: He was yah at the end.

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's a lot of there's a lot

105
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: of body to be moving around. I think somebody's gonna

106
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 4: get to eighty one because of three point shooting. The

107
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 4: thing that was wild about this is how much of

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: the damage he did from the mid range like shooting

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: what are in today's NBA seen as.

110
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Like low like low value shots.

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 4: But he's just completely unstoppable from that like those places

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 4: on the court. And so yeah, yeah, he just ate

113
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: and ate and ate.

114
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: Lethal, lethal, and then then towards the end of the game,

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: just taking kids lunch money in the second half, just

116
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: like just bullying these I was really like, okay, you're

117
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: really Oh, we get it, Joel.

118
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: You're doing it all the jab step is lethal.

119
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: You're giving people their COVID jabs, and now you're taking

120
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: the kids lunch money, doing a little bit of old

121
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: fashioned uncle ball. We'd like to see that. We like

122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: to see that. But yeah, it's true though, seventy is

123
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: seventy points. So as much as like you have weird

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: Like I really don't understand people who are trying to

125
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: like be like, yeah, well, it's the thing about that

126
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: is I'm like, really, it's just there's more hate.

127
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 4: There's more haterism than there is like fandom. I feel

128
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 4: like it's louder and gets shared more.

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: As a Laker fan, I one hundred percent I've seen this.

130
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: I think it's really disturbing. I know, you know, I

131
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: think it's really weird when people do that. It's really

132
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: really strange. But like I mean, speaking of which, seventy

133
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: is difficult. Sixty two like obviously getting there, Karl Anthony Towns.

134
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: Got to sixty two. Yeah, but seventy seventy and he

135
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: can't lose a game.

136
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 5: He can't lose lose. He got sixty two and lost, Like, yeah,

137
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 5: what can I mean?

138
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: He is the twenty first player to ever score sixty

139
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: plus points in a game in a loss. Sixty two

140
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: put him at the fourteenth highest.

141
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: And I don't like. I guess the Timberwolves again. They

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: started the year.

143
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: Defending and now they're like, eh, just maybe not so

144
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: much right now, just because I heard there was a

145
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: rumor or report that they were also kind of clocking

146
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: what Embiid was doing and trying to be like, all right,

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: let's help Cat, Like, let's see if we can help

148
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Cat out. And that's what it looked like towards the game,

149
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: because I thought to bring back a Wu Tang interlude.

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: It looked like they just couldn't stop.

151
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: Feeding him and feeding him and feeding him, even to

152
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: the point where it's like, I, yeah, he might. I

153
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: think we've wrung every little drip out of this thing.

154
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 4: I don't think they consulted their coach on that, because

155
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: he was not happy how the needs No looked after

156
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: that one.

157
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: What did he say?

158
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: It was like the saddest defending I've ever seen, or

159
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: something like that. Yeah, he yes, that's a hard one.

160
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like what I don't understand was it just

161
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: basically them being too focused on like trying to get

162
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: Cat to like, you know, as many points as possible,

163
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: or they forgot like they also have to win the

164
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: game and not allow Charlotte to put up like shoot

165
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: fifty six percent or something.

166
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: It was the tough you know, I'm gonna say, Jordan

167
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 4: put up sixty three in the playoffs against the like

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 4: one of the best Boston Celtics teams of all time,

169
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: and he lost, but like that was still a moral

170
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 4: victory and like him announcing himself and like.

171
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: This is similar, you know, Charlotte is something.

172
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: Nah, they shouldn't have lost to Charlotte. They're supposed to

173
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: be one of the best teams in the league. Uh,

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: this is just me being mean. It's still impressive. He's

175
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: still a great shooter as a center, you know, right.

176
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a tough time. It's a tough time. Uh, Roger,

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: how do these Timberwolves end up?

178
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting. I think they're more of a regular

179
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 5: season peak team. To me, I just I don't believe

180
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 5: in the Gobert Towns pairing and I just don't believe

181
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 5: in Gobert as a defensive matchup in the playoffs. I

182
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: just think you're gonna eventually get to a team that's

183
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: gonna be able to take advantage of like what he

184
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: struggles with, which is switching on the pick and roll,

185
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 5: and their whole defense is kind of based upon him

186
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: and Jada McDaniels and Anthony Edwards, and I think they're

187
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 5: just a year early, but they're the one seed there,

188
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 5: but they're tied with the thunder and losses and the

189
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 5: Clippers are starting to roll and starting to catch them.

190
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 5: So we'll see. But I think they're having a great

191
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 5: regular season. I just see them as like a second

192
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: round probably exit to like I don't like, I don't

193
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 5: think that would beat Denver. I still probably would have

194
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City above them, But Anthony I were just having

195
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 5: a great season. I just like, I don't believe in Gobert.

196
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 5: I didn't like the trade when it happened, like it's

197
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 5: working out this regular season. I just think like his

198
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: deficiencies in the playoffs I've shown out way too many times.

199
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 5: You saw it with the Utah Jazz consistently every single

200
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: series that series they lost to the Clippers with Kawhi out,

201
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: I believe, and with Paul George and Terrence Mann dropping

202
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 5: forty in like a game six to eliminate them. I

203
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 5: just that's where I think they'll struggle. But they're having

204
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: a good regular season for sure. I'm just not highed

205
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 5: them in like a playoff type atmosphere.

206
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Right.

207
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 4: Do you feel the same way about okay See or

208
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 4: you think okay See is legit like playoff contender.

209
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're probably also a year early, but I like

210
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: I just like their style better than the Minnesota I

211
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: just have liked how they played, and I like their

212
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 5: picking popability with ch at home grin and Shade to

213
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: me is like played like a top five player this season.

214
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 5: He's averaging thirty on the year. So I'm higher on

215
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 5: them just against Minnesota. I just still think Denver is

216
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 5: better than the crowd. Like, I don't think anyone's beating

217
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 5: Denver in four out of seven. But I like Oklahoma

218
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: City a little bit better than Minnesota for sure. Both

219
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: of those teams are like have a young superstar rising

220
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: where this year still feels like well, I mean, Oklahoma City,

221
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 5: forget about house money. They just bought the whole casino.

222
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 5: I mean, like this whole year is just for them,

223
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 5: that they're way ahead of schedule. But I'm hih on

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: Oklahoma City than the Minnesota for sure, say.

225
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 4: Feels like different to like just his ability to get

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: buckets down the stretch, feels like I could see that

227
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 4: making a deep run. Obviously, I still think Dever's the favorite,

228
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: but like his ability to just score whenever, and like

229
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: the fact that nobody has come up with anything to

230
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 4: stop him at any point that I've been able to see,

231
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 4: Like there's just no scheme to really slow him down.

232
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 4: I think they could could be pretty scary.

233
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, Raja, how are you feeling about the crosstown team,

234
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: the Clippers. Yeah they are, they're putting it together. Russ

235
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: I was.

236
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: I said this.

237
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: I think like earlier on when they were starting to

238
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: like Russ was kind of coming back. I had to say, like,

239
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm I do I do appreciate like seeing Russell kind

240
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: of re emerge, just because it was such dark days

241
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: at the Lakers that I was like, oh no, like

242
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if this, I don't know if he's

243
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: right anymore, but he is fully like come online for them.

244
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: And then plus just the rest of that team just

245
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: looks so good. They're eight and two over the last

246
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: ten games. What do you are you look? Jabbari's like,

247
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see what happens. Part of me, deep

248
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: down is like a Laker.

249
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Fano, like it's not gonna happen.

250
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: But like I'm like saying that with like tears running

251
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: down my face too.

252
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: But how are you looking at them?

253
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: Because it just seems like they're really figuring it out

254
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: and they're staying help.

255
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, it's sad because I was kind of off

256
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: of the hardened move as well. Honestly didn't think they

257
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: needed James Harden. I was wrong, and I think a

258
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 5: lot of people were on the rush point that you

259
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 5: just brought up. I don't like seeing it like it

260
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 5: annoys me. I watched two years of It's a great

261
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 5: NBA story. Yeah, yeah, you know, and people have starting

262
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: to rewrite what the Lakers stint was because of what's

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 5: happening now. As a person who had eyeballs and every

264
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: single one of those games, yeah, and you would agree

265
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: with me as well, this is not the Russell Westbrook

266
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 5: we got at all, Like, no, not a not a

267
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 5: bit like this is Russell Westbrook fully engaged on the

268
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: defensive end. He's there like like he's there Tasmanium Devil

269
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 5: just coming off the bench and kay Havoc and like

270
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: he's like people are singing an All Defense team for him,

271
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: which I don't think he'll make because he's playing like

272
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 5: fifteen to twenty minutes a game and guys who get

273
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 5: on the All Defense don't make that. But like you

274
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 5: just come in and be like super energy doesn't take

275
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 5: bad shots. I don't know what voodoo Tylo has done,

276
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 5: but like Russell Westbrook comes in the game and it's

277
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 5: full on. I'm gonna be a playmaker. I'm gonna un

278
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 5: pick and roll, and I'm gonna be an assists man.

279
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 5: Doesn't take a lot of mid range pull ups. His

280
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 5: threes are corner threes only, like how many Caasty take

281
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 5: on the Lakers, which you're terrible. But the Clippers have

282
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 5: really found something where it's almost unfair. They have Paul

283
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: George in this Michael Porter junior role, which just is

284
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 5: very unfair. Like, well, George is their off ball shooter

285
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 5: and it's their whole offense. Is funny as James Harden Zubac,

286
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: which again another knife to the heart. Like these super

287
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: trades still still hurts me. I met Zoo in Vegas.

288
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 5: By the way, he was the first Summer League I

289
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 5: remember looked like he just got to America and he's

290
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 5: like in the middle of eating crab legs and reading it.

291
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 5: But like so I'm like super sad about Zoo, one

292
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: of the guys that, like I heard Salse, but like

293
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 5: their whole offense is hard and Zoo pick and roll

294
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: and then however you react to that, whatever you defend that,

295
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: that's where their offense plays out of So if you

296
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 5: help off the strong side corner, it's Paul George, it's

297
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 5: the weak side it's Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, and you know

298
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: they just and Norm Powell has turned into the best

299
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: shooter in the league. Somehow, He's shooting forty eight percent.

300
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 5: I'll catch and shoot threes. Please go look up that

301
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 5: Norm Powell Robert Coverington trade that the Clippers did, like

302
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: I would. It's it's absolute highway robbery. I still don't

303
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: understand that from the Blazer's perspective, but yeah, the Clippers

304
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 5: are legit. I think the only thing that's holding back

305
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 5: the Clippers is the Jabbari's point is there the Clippers,

306
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: Like something goes wrong with the Clippers every single year,

307
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 5: just something like breaks for them. But they look like

308
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 5: just the most connected team and like the best team

309
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: in the league the last month and a half since

310
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 5: their six game losing streak ended. So they have like

311
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 5: three centers that are good and we're playing jackson A

312
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: and Christian Wood. It's just it's it's it's upsetting to me,

313
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: Like they got me, they got they got Daniel Tyes

314
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 5: for free from Indiana, right, and I'm over here, like,

315
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 5: please let me see calin Castleton, Like I'd like to

316
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 5: see him. Who's our two way guy?

317
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: Let's see less cam reddish please?

318
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: Yeah?

319
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: Twenty four and six over there, last thirty I think.

320
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm surd, playing absurd.

321
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: I say, obscene, that's what I have. Yes, the signs

322
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: seven and three. Uh, they've won the last six. I

323
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: mean they're also.

324
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: They're in fit now, they're making they're making some noise,

325
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: they're doing their thing.

326
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Will that will that?

327
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: What do you think is that sustainable or would we

328
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: we think it'll get wobbly there?

329
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: I think it's as sustainable as they as their health

330
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 4: and yeah, yeah, yeah they can remain healthy. I feel

331
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 4: like this is who we expected them to be.

332
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Suns are interesting too, because I think the

333
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 5: whole story sorry for them was do they need a

334
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: point guard?

335
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 4: Right?

336
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 5: And kind of Devin Booker got promoted to their main

337
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 5: point guard, and I think that's not who he really is.

338
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: I just think, like Booker, Beal and KD is so

339
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 5: much offensively, it probably doesn't matter. You're gonna have to

340
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to send two to all those dudes.

341
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: Bradley Beal just didn't look healthy to me to start

342
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 5: the season, and like people haven't, like like Adrian Griffin

343
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 5: just got fired today, right with with Milwaukee, Phoenix kind

344
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: of had has had a similar type. Well, Milwaukee's thirty

345
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 5: and thirteen, which again is just insane to think about.

346
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 5: A coach got fired for that. But Phoenix is like

347
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: twenty five and eighteen. They've won a lot of games

348
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: they probably shouldn't, a lot of close games against bad teams,

349
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 5: just caring because one of their three stars has been

350
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 5: out pretty much the whole time. But they're just trying

351
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: to click.

352
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: Now.

353
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: Frank Vogel, I feel like inherited the most non Frank

354
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 5: Vogel team to ever exist, just of a team with

355
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 5: that's fully offensive focused. But they're playing well. Twenty five

356
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 5: and eighteen, we're seven game backs of the Suns. Guy,

357
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 5: but yeah, they really started to click. I swear like

358
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 5: two days ago we were tied with them. Understandings, doesn't

359
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 5: it feel that way? I swear I thought like we

360
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 5: were right now the.

361
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: Seven games behind the Suns. You're three and a half

362
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: behind the Suns, right.

363
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 5: I mean seven, Well, yeah, there's seven games above five hundred.

364
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 5: We're at five hundred. That's but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

365
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 5: for sure. Yeah, it still feels like there's so far.

366
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 4: Hey, you guys are in the playing I would be

367
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 4: come on, guys, this is great.

368
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Ch up.

369
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 4: Now you guys are in the plane. That's exciting. I'm

370
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: just happy that the Suns and the Lakers are in

371
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 4: the plan because I think a week ago they were

372
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: both like on the outside, they were under the ten spot,

373
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: and like, that's kind of a bummer. You want those

374
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 4: guys around like in the postseason.

375
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, in the Western Conference sort of playoff

376
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: playing race, Like you know, RAJ, who do you think

377
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 2: is more likely to have a second half surge?

378
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: Is it?

379
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: The Jazz is it the Lakers, Rockets, Warriors.

380
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: What are you thinking?

381
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it depends on what move the Lakers make.

382
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 5: The Lakers are playing at this uh. I guess they're

383
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 5: gonna have enough of a floor to me because Lebron

384
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: and ad are just gonna care about enough games to

385
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 5: where they're going to win. But I think whatever trade

386
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 5: they make is gonna kind of determine that the vibes

387
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 5: just look strange. I think a lot of West teams

388
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 5: are starting to kind of normalize. I think the Kings

389
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 5: are starting to fall off a little bit of Dallas.

390
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 5: I think Luca's back as well. Utah, I just don't

391
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 5: think that's real. Also, like, I'm not sure you don't

392
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 5: want to see Consexton the plane that you know you don'

393
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 5: want to see Consexton killed in the plan. But yeah,

394
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: Like I think I think the Lakers should have like

395
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 5: at least some type of bounce back because I just

396
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 5: don't think they're gonna stand still. I think the top

397
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 5: four is locked though, Like I'd be surprised if Minnesota, Okay,

398
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 5: see Denver and the Clippers fall out of that top four.

399
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 5: I'd be pretty sure they're there. The Pelicans will see

400
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 5: like you'll never you never know a Zion's health. But

401
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 5: I think the top nine are also locked. Like I

402
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 5: think the Warriors are done in my opinion, Like I

403
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 5: just don't think anything's going there Memphis, and then all

404
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 5: those other teams are kind of tanking. But man's what

405
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: the Lakers do. They had a big trade last season

406
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: that turned their season around, and they're gonna have to

407
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: rely trade another Rustle most likely. I guess they're like

408
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 5: another Russell this season to turn their team around.

409
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's see if it's the right combination of

410
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: things to just keep keep kicking the can down the

411
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: road and seeing how far this thing goes, because it

412
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be too far, I don't think.

413
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

414
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: Talk a little bit about the top five most improved players,

415
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: because there's some some interesting ones there.

416
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: Right back, and we're back most Improved race.

417
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: There are some moments from in the and the just

418
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 4: talking about the we're playing Jackson Hayes, the pain in

419
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: your voice when you said that, the just looking at

420
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 4: the Lakers being seven back. Uh, These Lakers fans suffer

421
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 4: for it. Yes, they can be difficult to uh, you know, we.

422
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: Feel it all.

423
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's why it's an illness, you know what

424
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: I mean, It's not a superpower. It makes me either

425
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: insufferable as a fan or my life becomes just pure suffering.

426
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: It's hard.

427
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 4: Six in a row, by the way, I don't know,

428
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: that's uh the second best point differential in the league

429
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 4: and have won six in a row.

430
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: I know, Jack, I love that.

431
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying off Mike Jabari and I

432
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: are like, yeah, man, let's go give me my sixers merch.

433
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Because I would. I would, I could stand by that.

434
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: It's that's a that's a tough thing.

435
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: You wouldn't feel as bad once mbad leaves them comes

436
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: to the Lakers.

437
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, obviously.

438
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: I mean like everybody's got to come home eventually, you

439
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

440
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: But Maxie, like the I feel like everyone's saying it's

441
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: his to lose at this point.

442
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. How did I just not

443
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 4: think that he was going to keep getting better. I

444
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 4: don't think I picked this. Maxi is most improved, But yeah,

445
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 4: he feels like a shoeing at this point. Not a shoeing.

446
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot of a lot of other

447
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: options here that look great. Haliburton makes a lot of

448
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: sense to me because he's just had such a great season,

449
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 4: and sometimes they do go with like person who has

450
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 4: gone from All Star to like All NBA First Team candidate,

451
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 4: like they did with Jaw a couple years back. So

452
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: that would be the other option that would make sense

453
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 4: to me is Haliburton. But you know, Maxi is kind

454
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: of in that same ballpark. Maybe not quite as high

455
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 4: as Haliburton, but he's you know, single handedly like obviously

456
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 4: Embid's been incredible this season. He is also he was

457
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: the MVP last season. I think he's playing better this

458
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 4: season by kind of a lot. Yeah, but Maxi being

459
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: taking it up to like a whole another level is

460
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 4: really the thing that makes what the Sixers are doing

461
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 4: so far this season possible that I don't think a

462
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: lot of people were expecting. Well I was clearly, but

463
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: of course you know.

464
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: And your children who are big fans, sex yep, it

465
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: is even though it isn't but a football player, but.

466
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's like one of those things

467
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: that like every you know, fan of every team is like,

468
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: oh man, if this guy can make the leap next year,

469
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: like this is we got something and like the way

470
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 2: he's doing it is like to your point, I think

471
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: it's only just because embiide is doing just putting up

472
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: obscene numbers that people completely are kind of like, oh right, right, right, Max.

473
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 4: I think it's also that he seems like kind of

474
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 4: a jerk. You know, every Maxie just seems like he's

475
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 4: no fun and.

476
00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: A real chair.

477
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 4: Now he seems he's like the most impossible person not

478
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 4: to love, Like he seems like the best dude, like

479
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 4: he'd be he'd be a lot of fun to just

480
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 4: like go out with, you know, yeah, oh, like for anything,

481
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: like I feel like you go bowling, bowling and yeah, yeah,

482
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 4: because he's probably.

483
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: Doing some fun trick shots. He's like watch how much

484
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 2: English I put on this one?

485
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: Like oh, he's got.

486
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 4: Like little brother energy, you know, like yeah yeah, even

487
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 4: though how tall is I don't mean little brother like,

488
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 4: you know, but I just I like, like just his stature,

489
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: you know, despite.

490
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: That, even though what he's like six foot three at

491
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: four right six two apparently Okay, that's a little bro.

492
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah we can if I wear tims on with lifts,

493
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: like you know, I might be able.

494
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 5: To tower over it's his award for sure. I think

495
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 5: Tyres Maxie gets shut. I'm jealous of like the Maxie

496
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 5: experience just as a as a Laker fan, Like how

497
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: I fan? I like, I really like players that are

498
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 5: like drafted and like develop in your system, and the

499
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 5: Lakers kind of are just hired gun after hired, gun

500
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 5: hired gun let that just continue to flip their rosters,

501
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 5: which is why I think Austin Reeves has such an

502
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 5: attachment to like Laker fans where it's like, hey, like

503
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: we saw this dude undrafted and you know, playing summer

504
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 5: league games and and like now is up. But yeah,

505
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: I think that's what makes I don't know if Jack

506
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 5: you agree with this, but I think watching Maxie that's

507
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 5: probably a little bit more special about it too.

508
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: Right.

509
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 5: You saw Tyres Maxy kind of have to give James

510
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: Harden the ball a bunch at first, and now Max

511
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 5: He's like feels like a free kind of bird out there.

512
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 5: He's like, oh, like there's no hard in round. Oh,

513
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 5: it's just me. I get to create everything. I can

514
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 5: take as many shots as I want. I think he's

515
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 5: really benefited from that. But yeah, I think Max is

516
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 5: the clear cut winner of this he's become like he.

517
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 5: I had doubts, honestly, I know you both you didn't

518
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 5: you both didn't, But like I had doubts of him

519
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 5: becoming just this type of offensive option. I thought he

520
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 5: was more in the Emmanuel quickly, no disrespect, but I

521
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 5: thought like that's I thought like he was in that

522
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 5: kind of vein of a score. But he's obviously way

523
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 5: past that. And uh, he's like a movement shooter. He's

524
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 5: an elite movement Shooter's an elite pitch off the dribble shooter.

525
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 5: And that pairing with embiid is so tough. But Maxi

526
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 5: as the winner, Yeah, yeah, not fun to play against.

527
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 5: It's not fun to play against. He torched us.

528
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: There's a humidity.

529
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Vitorian prints on him, which you know which.

530
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: Look look, look, look, I've been doing a lot of

531
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: work about not crying on Mike Man. Let's just stay

532
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: focused on other teams that might also be struggling, like

533
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: the Bucks. Huh, what is your talk real quick about

534
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: the Calves, Because I've felt just on the subject of

535
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 2: like addition by subtraction, right, Harden, getting out of there,

536
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: letting Maxi fly free like a bird. The Calves needed

537
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: to lose two of their three best players, Uh to

538
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: injury to go Suddenly they are the best hottest team

539
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: in the league thirteen and three since losing Mobile and

540
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: Garland to injuries.

541
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: How sustainable do we think this is?

542
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounded like from when jab the way

543
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: Jabari was speaking like it, it seems like this might

544
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: be working out in their favor. Yeah, I don't Again,

545
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: I don't know how much of that is. Like, obviously

546
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: you get that bounce from being like, Okay, it's on

547
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: us to do something. But the redundancy of sort of

548
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: like their play styles may be the thing that's helping.

549
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

550
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: I don't watch enough of the Calves to have a

551
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: fully informed, toxic opinion like.

552
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: I normally would.

553
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I don't watch a lot of them either,

554
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 5: But I'm like, your if your guards are that small,

555
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 5: the amount of offensive production you would need to kind

556
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 5: of make up for that is a ton. So I

557
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 5: think just having a more system approach to their offense

558
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 5: has helped.

559
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

560
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 5: I mean they've won eight in a row, so I

561
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 5: mean they're just like killing it right now. I think

562
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 5: their defense is starting to settle down as well. And

563
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: Mitchell has gone just absolutely nuts. That's another future Laker shoutout,

564
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 5: like it's another in every single Jersey swap that that exists.

565
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 5: Like you said, the embiid got the future Laker treatment

566
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 5: just recently, so he's kind of entered that club. But yeah,

567
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 5: Donovd Mitchell another guy that I'm a big fan of.

568
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 5: So I don't think it's that sustainable. I think they're

569
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: gonna need those guys back to make any type of

570
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: real run. But they've kind of separated themselves at least

571
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 5: from the like bottom pack because they struggle. I think

572
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 5: they were struggling to come out the gates. There was

573
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 5: a little bit of a drop off from last season.

574
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but they really they've really picked it up.

575
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 4: So maybe they just give you Mitchell now, you know,

576
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 4: if they're like this isn't this isn't sustainable, Like why

577
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: not just flip them over?

578
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 5: You know, we have a nice Gabe Vincent waiting for them.

579
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 4: Just yeah, yeah, the future rights to James and uh,

580
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 4: if you're interested.

581
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: If you're interested, interest, we got we got a lot

582
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: on offer. Tommy Berger. The chili there.

583
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: It will destroy your insights, but if you survive, you

584
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: will have superhuman powers, just like me and Rock. But yeah,

585
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: I guess you mentioned earlier Raj. The Bucks they fired

586
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: their head coach, Adrian Griffin, despite having the they were

587
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: thirty and thirteen. There're seventeen games above five hundred, and

588
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: you just get the sack like that. Yeah, I from

589
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: what I was reading, like Giannis was big on him.

590
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: It sounds like he was big on him because he

591
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: was really not wanting to play for Nick Nurse. So

592
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: that's why apparently maybe his support for Adrian Griffin sort

593
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: of had manifested.

594
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: But what I mean, what what? Yeah?

595
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: I mean to fire a coach halfway through their first season,

596
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 4: Like I think the last time I remember that happening

597
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: was Jerry Tarkanium with the Spurs. Do you remember that experiment?

598
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 4: But like that that is a quick trigger, like usually

599
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 4: things have to be going disastrously for that what happened,

600
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: So thirty and thirteen is wild. A lot of people

601
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: are speculating the like Doc Rivers was like advising him

602
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: at the Buck's request, like behind the scenes, and then

603
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: like that's somehow involved here and it's going to be

604
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 4: a Doc Rivers higher, which as a Sixers fan man,

605
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 4: that hurts. Oh, oh you got Doc, dang it, and

606
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to face you in the second round

607
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 4: of the playoffs.

608
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: Come on, man, that is not what I wanted for one.

609
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 4: Dang it. Oh well, uh well, we'll we'll have to

610
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 4: just figure out a.

611
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: Way to a game plan against Doc.

612
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna look, I think you stamp your ticket to

613
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference finals.

614
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, this is not gonna I say,

615
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: that's done done.

616
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 4: But the reason that Sixers fans were like kind of

617
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: maybe excited to see another look, see another coach on

618
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 4: the bench was the playoffs.

619
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Right, And the irony too is like we don't want

620
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: to play for Nick Nurse and then you're like, oh, well,

621
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: what's going on over there?

622
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: Whatever? We got maybe Doc Rivers now. But yeah, like Roger,

623
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: I know, what did you think of Doc?

624
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: Because it felt like he was auditioning for gigs left

625
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: and right recent oh with his desert thirst approach to

626
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: his commentary, what what do you think of like of

627
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: the whole situation and where the bucks go from here?

628
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's interesting I was looking this up. I

629
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 5: think David Blatt was fired pretty much in the exact

630
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 5: same day twenty sixteen, yeah. Yeah, And he was fired

631
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: in twenty sixteen January twenty third, which is which is today.

632
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 5: So I think like it was very similar kind of approaches.

633
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 5: And I think the way I look at this is

634
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 5: there's things that are right and there's things that are fair.

635
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: Is it fair that he got fired at this time?

636
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: No?

637
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 5: But I think was it right? Probably? Like what he

638
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 5: was doing was some We had Malik Beasley on their

639
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 5: team last year, and he was having Leak Beasley as

640
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 5: their defensive ace, the guy that they throw on other

641
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 5: team's best, you know, best players. They were not running

642
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 5: Damian his pick and roll. The offense looked really clunky.

643
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 5: I think he just kind of lost the locker room.

644
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: No matter what the record is. I think that's I

645
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 5: think like if you could talk to Bucks, if you

646
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 5: talk to Bucks fans, they'll kind of tell you there

647
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 5: are a lot of issues. And it was the first

648
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 5: time I head coach, so you know, they're kind of

649
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 5: admitting a mistake there. It is wild, Doc Rivers. If

650
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 5: you listen to a Laker game, you'll hear him pretty

651
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: much asked for the Laker job. It's wild, not not directly,

652
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 5: but as direct as you could if I.

653
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Were to be there. Easy, easy, you get it. You're

654
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: calling Darkenham out constantly, exactly.

655
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like one of the best people to hear

656
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 4: talk about basketball, Like I get, I get exactly why

657
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: he keeps getting higher. Man, He's so fun, so interesting

658
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 4: to hear talk about basketball. Yeah, were there not a

659
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 4: competitive advantage in it, I would be wishing that he

660
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: stayed doing podcast appearances and doing the games. But you know,

661
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: be being a Sixers fan, I do have to hope

662
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 4: that he is the new Bucks head coach.

663
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm I think it could it could

664
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: be a thing, but yeah, just it's it is wild

665
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: to just when you hear about like the informal like

666
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: consultant role that he had at the Bucks behest and.

667
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: Is that legal? Is that even allowed? Like is that

668
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 5: like is a loud yeah, be a consultant?

669
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: Well it was dirty man. That It's like just the

670
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 4: feeling of feeling like, hey, so look, you're new, it's

671
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 4: your first time head coaching. We just want to bring

672
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 4: this guy in here to talk to you. He's not

673
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 4: after your job that Like can you imagine then, like

674
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: how many assurances they had to give him to be like, yeah,

675
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: Doc's just here to out man, that's cool.

676
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then oh yeah, it's like being a relationship.

677
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: And then like the person you're with is like, you know,

678
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: I feel like my ex could really help our relationship

679
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: go to the next.

680
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Level if you just just let's just bring them into

681
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: the picture real quick.

682
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: It's not don't be.

683
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: Threatened by it. Oh my gosh, tripping cut to.

684
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 5: Terry Scotts, like, you know, wishes he stayed on, Like

685
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 5: Terry Stotts, I think, right, like.

686
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, right, yeah, and the.

687
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 5: Season he just he just left, they just parted ways.

688
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 5: He might be the head coach right now if if

689
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 5: if he stayed on. So it's just a weird situation.

690
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 5: And this was this was touted as Janice's guy to right,

691
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 5: it was an Adrian Griffin kind of Janice's first head coaches.

692
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 4: They looked very unhappy this year. I feel like, just yeah, yeah,

693
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: so that's why.

694
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah again, I think we gotta we're seeing Look, the

695
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: player is GM thing not not the best. Let's we're

696
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: not seeing a great track record here. But hey, look,

697
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: we gotta gotta stick to what we know. Like from

698
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: what the reporting I'm hearing is just because it wasn't

699
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: so much that like Jannis wanted Adrian Griffin is that

700
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: he didn't want Nick Nurse. So it's like, let me

701
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: put my weight behind Adrian Griffin. So okay, huh, it's

702
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: a chin rubber, for sure, it's a chin rubber.

703
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: We'll see what happened, Well, we shall see. And me

704
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: talking all this trash is of course going to mean

705
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 4: that the Sixers get knocked out in the second round

706
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 4: by uh.

707
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: The Duck Rivers and the Box.

708
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, but while I was doing it in a.

709
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: Black hole, is going to like just appear in like

710
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 2: the fabric of space time because it's to be so anomalous.

711
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: It's like, well, what happens? Is it? Is it? Is

712
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: it doc or is it the Sixers who was supposed

713
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: to go out?

714
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? Probably rather that than the Celtics losing to the

715
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 4: Celtics again.

716
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, well.

717
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 4: Anyways, Uh, these are the things that I think about

718
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: it night when I'm trying to go to sleep.

719
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: Well, one thing I think about is wembin Yama. Some

720
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 2: recent images of Victor webbin Yama. Yeah, I'm still processing

721
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 2: these images against the Wizards.

722
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's this image of him dunking over Marvin Bagley.

723
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 4: I don't think he actually ends up making the dunk,

724
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 4: but it is straight up space jam. Yeah, it's the

725
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 4: space Jam dunk. It's very true.

726
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: He's Marvin Badley's six ten.

727
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marvin Bagley is six ten, and he looks like

728
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: a child.

729
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: It looks like.

730
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: When Bin Yama got like the mushroom in Mario to Go,

731
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: like he somehow was also growing on top of.

732
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: Being like seven five or whatever we're officially saying he is.

733
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, It's just just like one of those pictures

734
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 2: you're not sure how to process mentally.

735
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: I feel like, have you.

736
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 5: Guys seen him yet in person? Have you seen Yama

737
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 5: in person?

738
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: We were we went to one of his greatest performances

739
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 2: I think of his career, which was his first game

740
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: in the Summer League, Okay, and we just.

741
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 4: Like bought tickets off vivid seats, so we weren't that

742
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 4: close close enough to like really see him.

743
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: Plus a bunch of people standing in front of us

744
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: during the game, and we had to be like, hey man.

745
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 1: Sit down, man, we're all trying to see It's like, well.

746
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: We did lie to ourselves and say that we got

747
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 4: the high up seats so that we could just see

748
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: him eye to eye.

749
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 5: Right, that's why. Yeah, now he's he's in crow. I

750
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 5: saw him, yeah, in Summer League as well. Then I

751
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 5: saw him, I think play the Clippers here in Los Angeles.

752
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 5: He just he makes no sense. I haven't seen anything

753
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 5: like that ever. Guy with that type of handle, step

754
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 5: back threes, just dunks while on his tippy toes. Super

755
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 5: super insane, insane prospect.

756
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: There was even a moment against the Sixers where like

757
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: Embid was just was defending and then he just kind

758
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: of was like, well, I use my long arm, just

759
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: kind of put it around your body, just like laying in.

760
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 2: It was like it was like the and even Embiid

761
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: was like what he's like, I was up straight up

762
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: and he just was just like, no, sir, my arm

763
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: is actually four feet longer than you expected to be.

764
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, there's he's confounding. He is confederating. Should we

765
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 2: take another break?

766
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 4: And one other thing I just wanted. The Lakers tweeted

767
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: out that Lebron has played against thirty five percent of

768
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 4: all players in NBA history, which is why I saw

769
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 4: somebody replied crazy that he's duck in the sixty five

770
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 4: percent other players.

771
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: What's he afraid of?

772
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: Exactly, But I wonder what numbers, like how what that

773
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: would percentage be for like Vince Carter, you know, like harder, Yeah, yeah,

774
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: because he played, he played many decades. But yeah, yeah,

775
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm curious just to see, like how that stat stacks

776
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: up to.

777
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: Other players like long careers too.

778
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you look at him, look, father time,

779
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: you're doing your thing.

780
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: Shout out all the thirty nine year olds out there.

781
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: We're doing us.

782
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he's still one of the best players in

783
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 4: the league. I don't know, he looks awesome. I think

784
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: maybe I haven't been watching as much Lakers basketball as

785
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 4: you guys.

786
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 5: But he looks ok, he looks he's good.

787
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say that Lebron James is good.

788
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 4: He's pretty good.

789
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: Pretty good. Yeah, it's time.

790
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: It is time for rabid Fire to close it out.

791
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 4: So let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

795
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: Seven percent of all the players in the league.

796
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nice try, Lebron. Maybe try a little

797
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 4: bit harder.

798
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,879

00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 2: crossed up that one.

826
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: Did his head band fall off or did it just

827
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: fall off?

828
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,160

829
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: you know, like in a cartoon thing. Yeah, or like

830

833
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: a cast and they got like one crutch and their

834
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: heads wrapped up like I feel like Luca just like

Speaker 4: Uh?

852
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's cool. And I think I like the

853
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 5: last the Kobee. Yeah, that's true.

854
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: It along your answers with this.

855
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 5: I love the Kobe Lebron one. I thought that that's

856
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 5: my favorite one where I think Lebron didn't shoot it

857
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 5: at the end and Kobe was kind of pissed at

858
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 5: him because they were having this one on one kind

859
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 5: of monoymno fourth quarter match, and Kobe was kind of

860
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 5: going at him and like he wanted the one on

861
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 5: one against Lebron. I think Lebron kicked out. We got

862
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 5: to keep it out to Carmelo whoever it was, and

863
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 5: Kobe kind of gave a look at him like, hey,

864
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 5: we're like having this one on one moment here, you're

865
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 5: supposed to take the shot. So that's my favorite All

866
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 5: Star Game moment for sure. I really like cherished that one.

867
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 5: That's that was a really cool moment.

868
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was the right answer just for people

869
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: listening at home.

870
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, you've regained their trust. And now I can

871
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 4: ask you another All Star weekend, throw them off, throw

872
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 4: them off. So Pro Bowl, the NFL Football's All Star weekend,

873
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 4: kind of does like I think I saw that like

874
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 4: in their commercial, like a game of dodgeball.

875
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: The players are playing in what schoolyard game Raj.

876
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 4: Do you want to see added to the NBA All

877
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 4: Star Weekends cool yard game?

878
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 5: Well, I'll give two answers. Number one, I'd like to

879
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 5: see like pick a ball. I think that's it's really

880
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 5: competitive at least when I play, Like that's a fun matchup,

881
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 5: but like I'm just gonna cheat and just go quickly.

882
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 5: I'd love like a one on one or a two

883
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 5: on two, like that schoolyard basketball, Like one on one

884
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 5: is like that that's like the most popular, or like

885
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 5: two on two. I would like to see some sort

886
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 5: of that like incorporated into All Star Weekend, like it's fun,

887
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be super serious. But yeah, I think

888
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 5: you'll get guys being competitive and not this bowl that

889
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 5: we're seeing. Sometimes we're like, guys just don't play hard.

890
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 5: Shaye was asked after an All Star game. He said, uh, like,

891
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 5: what will make you guys play harder? He said, more money.

892
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 5: It was like, Shay, this is your first.

893
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 4: All Star game. I love that. What do you mean

894
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: more money?

895
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 5: I'm so yeah.

896
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 4: Look so this is kind of my answer too, is

897
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 4: we're letting everybody gamble now, like the you know gambling,

898
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 4: various gambling outlets are the like key sponsors. These guys

899
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 4: will like fight each other to the death to win

900
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 4: a shooting contest after practice for like a ten dollars,

901
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 4: Like with ten dollars on the line, right, Like, so

902
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 4: we know, we know they like to play cards. We

903
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: know they like to play a two K against each other.

904
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 4: I'm not saying there's definitely money on the line. I'm

905
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 4: just saying I could theoretically conceive of that. So, like

906
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 4: I would love to see a televised.

907
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Two K tournament.

908
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, two K tournament, you know them streaming on Twitter.

909
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 4: You know the story they're competitive about behind the scenes,

910
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 4: Like that's the stuff I want to see, like that

911
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 4: them turn into somehow and and do like a heads

912
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 4: up poker, you know, Like that would be fun. I

913
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 4: would love to see who's the best card player in

914
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 4: the NBA.

915
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: They could play heads up seven up? Yeah for money,

916
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Just bring it back to

917
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 2: rainy day school games, you know what I mean. I

918
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: just think that would work. Anything I think would just

919
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 2: I think the weirder the game the better, Like bottle flipping.

920
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 4: Bottle flipping would be fun.

921
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you put like a hundred racks on it,

922
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: it would be exactly. It would be monumental and it

923
00:43:55,640 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 2: has their money. Yeah, it's a ten G buy in. Yeah,

924
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 2: that would be something else. You got to keep this

925
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: segment moving. Man. Man, that was really poor form on

926
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: your part. But guess what we will forgive you, which

927
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 2: brings you to my next question. If you could have

928
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: any player's skills set for a day, who's and what?

929
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: Oh?

930
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 5: I think like if I had Kyrie's handles, I don't

931
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 5: think I'd ever leave the gym, Like, I don't think

932
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 5: i'd ever I'd take a basketball with me wherever I went.

933
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 5: I would not, I'd bring it every single place. If

934
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 5: I can dribble, I do that sometimes now, and I

935
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 5: don't dribble as well as Kyrie. But like, if I

936
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 5: could dribble like Kyrie or even Steph who has just

937
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 5: I think really underrated handles, I'd dribble basketball. So that

938
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 5: that's what I would do. Because I feel like you

939
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 5: can bring a ball anywhere pretty much. I would like

940
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 5: to have their handles for a day. That'd be That'd

941
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 5: be something I'd like for sure.

942
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 2: Wait, you shout out to the people who really are

943
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: the Ball is Life type people, like the way you said,

944
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 2: like you can pretty much bring a ball anywhere, like

945
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 2: like I've seen where like a teenage dude has a

946
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 2: basketball in the movie theater. Yeah yeah, and it's like

947
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 2: bro really like, I mean, they were respectful. Once the

948
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 2: trailer started, they stopped dribbling, like there's a dude drib

949
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: I remember seeing the due dribbling in by the concession stand.

950
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, you're really You're on that life. You

951
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: got the bopsack too on you like I used to

952
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: have in ninety eight, But that's.

953
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 4: A different wearing strength shoes into those jump shoes.

954
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah I got, I got jump soles and I have

955
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: a full lak or uniform on with a headband, Like

956
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 2: what is wrong with this sixteen year old boy?

957
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to get on JV?

958
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 4: Yeah all right, you could recommend one southern California restaurant

959
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 4: someone visiting.

960
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: What is that place? And what is your order when you.

961
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 5: Go on California restaurant? Well, I think the main one

962
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 5: would be in and out that you tell them. And

963
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 5: when I go to in and Out, I get people

964
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 5: haven't tried this, and they call me crazy. But sometimes

965
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 5: I'll get the grilled cheese just no meat on it

966
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 5: and it's it's really good. Actually, the grilled cheese in

967
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 5: and out it is awesome, especially if you don't want

968
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 5: something to filling. Uh, you just get that and and

969
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 5: they make that really well. So and then that would

970
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 5: be the one I would tell people to go to

971
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 5: the lines a little bit long, but yeah, the main one.

972
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 2: I like how you I would I would recommend in

973
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: and out. And the thing I would recommend is not

974
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: the burger, but it's just a grilled cheese.

975
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 5: And make sure the fries are well done. You got

976
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 5: to tell them that, yeah, white friese fries.

977
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will eat the I ask for them, like, I.

978
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 6: Like rare, give me those fries, rare mashed potato sticks?

981
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 6: also I like to get chopped chili's on my burger.

982
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 2: That's the other one because then you can actually make

983
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: it spicy because I love a bit of spice.

984
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,120
