Speaker 1: On this episode of The Heat Check, we talk about
Speaker 1: the Lakers meltdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. What that
Speaker 1: means for the Purple and Gold going forward? Oh, no things.
Speaker 1: You as a Portland Trailblazer just hate to see the
Speaker 1: most Russell Westbrook game I've ever seen in my whole life.
Speaker 1: We delve into the new look calves, are they real?
Speaker 1: Are they fake? And we also get into some questions
Speaker 1: from the d MS. So let's drop that motherfucker be
Speaker 1: Things are going swimmingly in Boston, aren't they first week
Speaker 1: of the season. The more thing change, the more things stay,
Speaker 1: the motherfucker saying, get rid of Danny Ains, you fire
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens, you move him up to the top of
Speaker 1: the food chain, you hire a brand new coach. It's
Speaker 1: supposed to be a hard rock basically shit talking as
Speaker 1: players anytime they do anything wrong, and you know what,
Speaker 1: do you get everything the same?
Speaker 2: Celtics are two and three to start the season, and
Speaker 2: other than the fact that their head coach emy Udoka
Speaker 2: can't figure out who's gonna be in the lineup, there
Speaker 2: are two big reasons why things.
Speaker 1: Are going so wrong. One, I mean, if you know me,
Speaker 1: you know what the number one reason is. It's Marcus Smart.
Speaker 1: I've been saying for a very long time, Marcus Smart's
Speaker 1: gotta go. Marcus Smart is not a point guard that
Speaker 1: any winning franchise should have starting leading or being paid.
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart should not be paid this much money. I
Speaker 1: say you should trade him, and everybody's like, just a,
Speaker 1: you're crazy, You're so mean. He's the life blood, he's
Speaker 1: the culture, he is the heart and soul. He is
Speaker 1: a chucker. He is a bona fide chucker. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know what that word means, but it
Speaker 1: means he takes a million shots and they don't go
Speaker 1: in and he keeps on chucking. What did I fucking
Speaker 1: say is exact same player who's a old Marcus Smart looks
Speaker 1: amazing and training camp, he looks phenomenal. He's shooting well,
Speaker 1: he's slashing, he's playmaking. Heat is our guy. The dude
Speaker 1: is shooting twenty three percent from three right now, he's
Speaker 1: shooting seven threes a game. A guy shooting twenty three
Speaker 1: percent from three that's not in a slump should be
Speaker 1: taking zero. Three's a game, not seven. And it's like
Speaker 1: a good thing that that Marcus Smart is you know,
Speaker 1: balancing out his three point shooting woes with being a leader,
Speaker 1: leading from the front, you know, not like missing flights
Speaker 1: or anything like that. After signing his massive contract, having
Speaker 1: to be suspended for a game, like, it's not like
Speaker 1: he does that systematically. And then secondarily, the next problem
Speaker 1: is my guy, Jaylen Brown, who I really hate to
Speaker 1: say anything negative about because he's just honestly a consummate pro,
Speaker 1: but he is such a roller coaster maybe the most
Speaker 1: inconsistent player in the NBA up and down. His new
Speaker 1: coach Ime Udoka just blew him up in the press
Speaker 1: about how much of a roller coaster ride. Jalen Brown is.
Speaker 1: Forty six in the opener against the Knicks. That's like, okay.
Speaker 1: Everybody was saying Jalen Brown look good in preseason as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: if we're getting forty six and the opener in double overtime,
Speaker 1: you got me. Then the next game nine against the Raptors.
Speaker 1: Then the next game he sat with niss soreness. That's
Speaker 1: not good. Thirty against the Rockets, and then thirteen against
Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards. Welcome, folks to the Jayleen Brown experience.
Speaker 1: You never know. Betting Jalen Brown is something you don't
Speaker 1: want to do. That prop is a nightmare. Imai Udoka
Speaker 1: said this about Brown. He described his inconsistency as kind
Speaker 1: of mind boggling that honestly, I had to look back
Speaker 1: to make sure that we were talking about the same thing, like, Oh, no,
Speaker 1: you do not want your head coach to describe your
Speaker 1: play as mind boggling when it comes to negative things
Speaker 1: like you want him to be like man, his playmaking
Speaker 1: is mind boggling. Like the things he can do, I
Speaker 1: don't even know how to comprehend or put it together
Speaker 1: into my brain. No, no, no, your inconsistency as a
Speaker 1: pro basketball player is actually makes my brain hurt like
Speaker 1: I had a slurpee from seven to eleven. It's more
Speaker 1: mind boggling than that. He said this. It's tough. I
Speaker 1: see his inconsistency as well. Yeah, I bet you do.
Speaker 1: I bet you do. I'm trying to ramp them up
Speaker 1: during the game, pump them up to get going. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding? Excuse me? Are you kidding me? Did he
Speaker 1: just say I'm trying to pump him up during this? Guy?
Speaker 1: Are you serious when your coach is saying I'm trying
Speaker 1: to find new motivational tactics throughout the game to get
Speaker 1: my star player going. And I'm struggling to find solutions
Speaker 1: to be effective at that thing for him to be
Speaker 1: consistent on the floor. That does not seem to be
Speaker 1: a winning formula to me. The world wanted to know
Speaker 1: whether Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum function well together, and
Speaker 1: I have said for a very long time the answer
Speaker 1: is no. Man, I don't know which one needs to go,
Speaker 1: but it does feel like it's en. Jalen is way
Speaker 1: too talented to need to be cheered at, yelled at.
Speaker 1: Is it carrot? Is it stick? Is it forty percent carrot?
Speaker 1: Is it sixty percent carrot? Like you're literally trying to
Speaker 1: find You've got Eme Udoka the fucking alchemist over here
Speaker 1: trying to find like a potent cocktail of how to
Speaker 1: motivate Jalen Brown. Folks, I'm not even making this up.
Speaker 1: This is comedy. This is not a great sign when
Speaker 1: a guy who should score it well will needs sets
Speaker 1: run for him in order to get him going. Udoka
Speaker 1: said he thinks Jalen should get to the line early
Speaker 1: to get his mindset going. Are you fucking serious? Name
Speaker 1: me another all star that needs that besides Ben Simmons. Well,
Speaker 1: actually that's probably the actual antidote for that. I mean
Speaker 1: this is that's the opposite. Like Jalen when he is on,
Speaker 1: he's unstoppable. But there's something going on now because there's
Speaker 1: no other elite players going from forty to nine to
Speaker 1: twenty seven to four, like that's just not in a
Speaker 1: span of like a week. So this to me means
Speaker 1: yet again things you hate to see, more uncertainty in Boston.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, things aren't and they aren't going to
Speaker 1: be good this season. This is not a team that's
Speaker 1: going to contend, truthfully, Like everyone's laughing at them. Everyone's
Speaker 1: laughing at you, Boston, Like you've got Jason Tatum and
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown and everyone's laughing at you. You are a
Speaker 1: fucking joke. You are Jokeville, USA. The roster is strange,
Speaker 1: Your GM is a mess. When Dennis shrewd, When Dennis
Speaker 1: Dennis fucking Shrewder is your bright spot. You are inrouble.
Speaker 1: Trouble more news around world. Speaking of teams in trouble,
Speaker 1: did you see the Lakers last night? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: Without Lebron, Now we know what the Lakers are they suck?
Speaker 1: I mean I've known that, we've known that. I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't want to be like the one standing on
Speaker 1: the rock too early, but you don't want to be
Speaker 1: too late. And we've all sort of known this was coming.
Speaker 1: And before the Lakers played the Oklahoma City Thunder, I
Speaker 1: knew something was off because Vegas had the line at five. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me just be very direct. The Rockets beat the
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. Bye, I want to say over thirty
Speaker 1: points yep, ninety one to one, twenty four. Okay, So
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets, no one's expecting a goddamn thing from
Speaker 1: They beat them by over thirty points. Okay. So then
Speaker 1: the line for Vegas Los Angeles Lakers five points without Lebron.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is sus something is either very disrespectful,
Speaker 1: which I love. I love when Vegas disrespects the Lakers
Speaker 1: because Russ is cooking without brawn and Anthony Davis is
Speaker 1: gonna play. And yeah, they immediately came out swinging up
Speaker 1: almost thirty with a ninety nine percent chance of winning
Speaker 1: at halftime. And and folks, they lost that game. They
Speaker 1: lost that game. The Lakers lost Wi WO Lakers lost
Speaker 1: to the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was so embarrassing. You
Speaker 1: had multiple Hall of Famers, former Lakers being like, these
Speaker 1: motherfuckers need to hit the Greyhound, Like we shouldn't even
Speaker 1: let them take the team plane. I didn't make that out.
Speaker 1: That's a real quote. They blew a twenty six point
Speaker 1: lead against the worst team in the NBA, and it
Speaker 1: was delicious. It was. It was a prototypical, prototypical Russ game.
Speaker 1: Twenty points, fourteen rebounds, thirteen assists, and oh boy, yes,
Speaker 1: ten turnovers, a quadruple double. You got it. Do you
Speaker 1: know how embarrassing that is? You are the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Lakers losing to a team actively trying to tank. I
Speaker 1: don't even be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, Trista, it's one game.
Speaker 1: You can't see it's rock bottom. It's game five. But
Speaker 1: this team has too many problems right now for me
Speaker 1: not to say you are fucked. You can't defend your
Speaker 1: twenty fifth ranked overall. You gave up all your defenders,
Speaker 1: Alice Cruzo, CACP, basically everybody who's now on the Wizards.
Speaker 1: They are also You are also a awful shooting team.
Speaker 1: You cannot shoot at all. Lebron James is your best shooter. Yuck,
Speaker 1: that's true. You have atrocious spacing. You're pretty tiny outside
Speaker 1: of Trevor Ariza and your little like the cute Dwight
Speaker 1: Howard DeAndre Jordan thing where they don't really even play.
Speaker 1: And these issues are not easy to fix. You brought
Speaker 1: in a bunch of twenty twelve all stars on league minimums.
Speaker 1: Can't defend their prime, so they can't defend Now. You
Speaker 1: can't stop runs from other teams. You're way too streaky.
Speaker 1: You cannot shoot. You shot sixty eight percent in the
Speaker 1: first quarter against Okay, see them brick the rest of
Speaker 1: the game. My guy Carmelo Anthony had an open three,
Speaker 1: wide open three to tie the game and miss that
Speaker 1: motherfucker by three feet. He literally didn't even hit rim,
Speaker 1: didn't even hit net Scheck said that that was the
Speaker 1: worst miss in Carmelo Anthony's career. You got a guy
Speaker 1: named Reeves. Have you ever heard of him? I haven't.
Speaker 1: He's getting twenty minutes a game. Reeves some random generic
Speaker 1: player two k my player white boy that you've never
Speaker 1: seen before. Reeves, Like, that's not a fake, that's not
Speaker 1: a real person. Kent Bazemore is starting Baysmore was a
Speaker 1: laughing stock of a lottery team in Golden State. Avery Bradley,
Speaker 1: who was waived by Golden State, is also getting significant minutes.
Speaker 1: This is comical. This is so bad. But no one.
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, la la la la la la la, it's fine,
Speaker 1: a la la, We got Lebron. You are terrible. Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook wants to run wind sprints for forty eight minutes.
Speaker 1: No one can keep up. Literally, like, Russ, can you
Speaker 1: fucking slow down so we can catch these passes from you? No,
Speaker 1: you need to catch up with me. He even said
Speaker 1: that they're just learning my speed. No one has ever
Speaker 1: known your speed. Russ, You're a Tasmanian devil. Literally, that'd
Speaker 1: be like you saying Bolt being like, they're just learning
Speaker 1: my speed. They just gotta keep up. No one is
Speaker 1: keeping up. Listen. La has done exactly nothing to assuage
Speaker 1: anyone's doubts. What are they done in the preseason? Are
Speaker 1: in their first five games that gives any Laker fan
Speaker 1: hope that this is gonna work out? Oh Russ picked
Speaker 1: up a technical foul at the end of the game
Speaker 1: because the Lakers were so lazy that with four seconds
Speaker 1: left to go, they just like threw an inbound pass,
Speaker 1: just wild, so lazy. Darius Baisley intercepted it like a
Speaker 1: dB in open space and dunked no time left. And
Speaker 1: Russ was like, that's fucking garbage. No, no, Russ, let
Speaker 1: me tell you what's garbage. You are garbage. This is
Speaker 1: what we said. We're old school. When shit like that happens,
Speaker 1: I don't let it slide. I take it on the
Speaker 1: chin and move on. In the game of basketball, there's
Speaker 1: certain things you don't do. Then there's certain things you
Speaker 1: don't do in sports. Games already over and I didn't
Speaker 1: like it, simple as that. You know what I don't like.
Speaker 1: I don't like unwritten rules. I don't like poor sports. You,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, are offensive. Not the move that pass was offensive,
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter was offensive, your second half offensive. All
Speaker 1: of the moves that the Lakers made in the offseason
Speaker 1: absolutely disrespectfully offensive. So if you want to get mad, Russ,
Speaker 1: get mad at your ten turnovers. I don't know, get
Speaker 1: mad at Carmel Anthony airballing a tying three by three
Speaker 1: feet or Malik wont going one for five from three,
Speaker 1: or I don't know, just all of the moves that
Speaker 1: Rob Plink has made. Lebron cannot be happy watching this
Speaker 1: shit show in his little crop top sweater. He cannot
Speaker 1: be happy with that. He's got to be planning out
Speaker 1: a new movie like Space Jam four has gotta be
Speaker 1: on the way. He's like, I'm just trying to get
Speaker 1: Brony into the league. Honestly, I could retire right now.
Speaker 1: Five games in he's not even playing. His ankle injury
Speaker 1: that he said he would never be one hundred percent
Speaker 1: again is now already giving him fits after he didn't
Speaker 1: play basketball for an entire two months during the offseason,
Speaker 1: said he never touched a basketball so that he could
Speaker 1: fully rehab, get back in shape, get back to one
Speaker 1: hundred percent, and now he's out with the same fucking injury.
Speaker 1: Rot Row buckle up, Blaker fans. It is going to
Speaker 1: be delightfully disastrous in La La Land.
Speaker 2: Mine is coming.
Speaker 1: So I'm just like high school. I'm still out there
Speaker 1: getting cuter a social networks. Oh boy, we gotta talk
Speaker 1: about the Calves. Gotta talk about him. Fool me once,
Speaker 1: Shame on me for me once, Shame on you, fool
Speaker 1: me twice. Can't get full again as George Buce says,
Speaker 1: it's it's a week into the season and they look good.
Speaker 1: Calves look good. I was though, duped before, folks, I
Speaker 1: have been duped by the Calves. They I ate the garbage.
Speaker 1: Last year they were four and two and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: sex Land, sex Land's fucking amazing. Darius Garland, Colin Sexton,
Speaker 1: you put them together, sex That's the best backcourt name
Speaker 1: of all time. I am fucking in, get me season two.
Speaker 1: It's the Calves games. No, then they proceeded to go
Speaker 1: out and like win I don't know, twenty five games.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that wasn't a great prediction. Not all my
Speaker 1: predictions are. So now that the Calves are three and
Speaker 1: two and on a three game winning streak, they beat
Speaker 1: the Clippers, the Nuggets and the Hawks, holy shit, and
Speaker 1: how do you do what they ask? Was it sex Land?
Speaker 1: It was not sex Land. They had held all of
Speaker 1: those teams, all of those high flying teams, under one
Speaker 1: hundred points. The Hawks and Trey Young had ninety five
Speaker 1: points you'll catch and the Nuggets at home scored eighty seven.
Speaker 1: Paul George and the Clippers, who scored a measily seventy
Speaker 1: nine points. I mean, the Clippers had that many points
Speaker 1: through the third quarter against the Blazers. So yeah, this
Speaker 1: is a different team, a different style of play. What
Speaker 1: are they doing. They're doing something that I don't know
Speaker 1: nobody crazy or brave enough has done. They've rolled out
Speaker 1: three or four seven footers at the same damn time
Speaker 1: on the floor. All of these seven footers though, like
Speaker 1: you would think, Okay, how does this work? I mean
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. All of these seven footers are different.
Speaker 1: They all have different skill sets and because of that,
Speaker 1: they're spacing the floor really well. And listen, and I
Speaker 1: didn't see it coming. Have you ever seen like a
Speaker 1: series of individual decisions that just didn't make sense and
Speaker 1: you're like questioning every single piece of the puzzle until
Speaker 1: they come together and you're like, oh, that was that. Like,
Speaker 1: you got Jared Allen into trade, you locked them down
Speaker 1: long term. Nice piece, but you did already have uh,
Speaker 1: Andre Drummond and Larry Nann's junior and Kevin Love getting
Speaker 1: paid like thirty million dollars a year. Then okay, you
Speaker 1: get rid of Andre Drummond, you keep Kevin Love's fat ass,
Speaker 1: then you draft Evan Mobley. It's like well that I
Speaker 1: don't know. Uh, what are they doing? This is the
Speaker 1: most calves move I've ever seen. You already have Jared Allen.
Speaker 1: Why would you need Evan Mobley? Like everybody knows, like
Speaker 1: Southern California players like they don't hold up. And then
Speaker 1: and then inexplicably signed Lowry Marketing in free agency, and
Speaker 1: then it was like I am starting to self destruct.
Speaker 1: I really do not know how to comprehend what they
Speaker 1: are doing in their heads? What is going through their mind?
Speaker 1: What are you doing Cleveland? How is this spacing gonna be?
Speaker 1: Who is who is gonna be out? What position? You
Speaker 1: literally have two spots for five guys? What where are
Speaker 1: you putting Lowry Marketing? He can't defend anybody. Larry Marketing
Speaker 1: is a trash ass defended defender. Well, if he's a
Speaker 1: four or five, he's trash. If you use him at
Speaker 1: the three spot, he's a fucking demon. How is Mobiley
Speaker 1: going to guard bigger fives? Are you really gonna put
Speaker 1: him on the floor at the same time? Like, are
Speaker 1: you playing three big men? What's happening with Kevin Love? Like,
Speaker 1: but somehow, some way, Jared Allen at the five, Evan
Speaker 1: Mobley at the four, and Laurie Markin at the three
Speaker 1: is actually somehow maybe unguardable, like maybe unscoring on them able.
Speaker 1: People are noticing. So when asked about the all big lineup,
Speaker 1: Jared Allen said this in the post game, because they
Speaker 1: are running through teams. Well, we just have a lot
Speaker 1: of versatility that can bring us far. I'm the defensive guy.
Speaker 1: Evans the rookie of the year, gonna be I want
Speaker 1: him to be. And Laurie can shoot the hell out
Speaker 1: of the ball. So you got a rim protector. You
Speaker 1: got a huge athletic wing like Chris Bosh and Evan Mobley,
Speaker 1: and he can cause havo. A sharp shooter, he can
Speaker 1: gun over any small ford in the league. And then
Speaker 1: they are meshing. In their three game winning streak. The
Speaker 1: trio has combined for twenty blocks and steals. All three
Speaker 1: are averaging double digits on offense. Nick Batum was in
Speaker 1: prison against Devin Mobley. He's like, Yo, they got marking
Speaker 1: In at the three. I mean that's unusual for sure,
Speaker 1: a seven footer, but you know we gotta face that
Speaker 1: to win a game. Mobley's doing great things for yesterday,
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know, what you want me to do?
Speaker 1: Like he's seven feet tall. I'm six' eight And i'm playing.
Speaker 1: Five he is a three nick batum in the age
Speaker 1: of small, ball is LIKE i don't even know what
Speaker 1: to do with, This like this dude shouldn't even be
Speaker 1: on the floor in small ball, lineups and they are getting.
Speaker 1: Mirked hard to get rebounds when three, long athletic seven
Speaker 1: foot monsters are boxing your ass, out and The clippers
Speaker 1: did get out rebounded fifty seven to thirty. Six hard
Speaker 1: to get your shot off over someone with an eight
Speaker 1: foot winkspan is like a step. Back he puts these
Speaker 1: like steps four, one and you are blocked even. Worse
Speaker 1: trying to get a ball off around the. Rim imagine
Speaker 1: imagine crossing over cooking somebody getting past the seven foot
Speaker 1: Of you're feeling real. Good you get to the lane
Speaker 1: and there's another seven foot right behind, him and then
Speaker 1: another seven foot right behind, him an impenetrable. Wall, demons.
Speaker 1: Demons then you add In Ricky, rubio who seems to
Speaker 1: have found Some he's The Collin sexton, whisperer apparently like
Speaker 1: he's Like, colin pass the, Ball. Colin everyone's making fun of.
Speaker 1: You colin if you want to be, paid you gotta
Speaker 1: play like. This you can't just be chucking from half
Speaker 1: court whenever you. Want we got three other guys, here
Speaker 1: and then you've Got Kevin love shockingly. RESURGING i don't
Speaker 1: know what he's. Doing eleven seven and, Three that is.
Speaker 1: ME i am super. CONFUSED i stayed up all night
Speaker 1: last night looking For cavaliers podcasts On. Spotify turns out
Speaker 1: there's not many of. Them there's not a lot Of cavaliers.
Speaker 1: Breakdown so what do we make of? THEM i don't.

Speaker 1: Are imagine if The monstars came to, life came To
Speaker 1: earth and then put ON i think they call it. Wine, Wine,
Speaker 1: yeah wine and. Gold because last YEAR i bought in.
Speaker 1: PREDICTABLY i ate the garbage in The. Calves they hurt.
Speaker 1: Me they made me look. Ridiculous people still in my
Speaker 1: mention being like when you thought The calves were, Good,
Speaker 1: ah you're, stupid you, know like ten year, old who's
Speaker 1: here for The? Calves when they win twenty, games like
Speaker 1: you think they've turned the. Corner but it's, like really
Speaker 1: they just Have Dan gilbert as their owner and they
Speaker 1: go back to their stupid. Ways but you, know even
Speaker 1: Though i'm a child of, TRAUMA i want to BELIEVE
Speaker 1: i have optimism in my. Soul and this feels. DIFFERENT
Speaker 1: i feel like they could have turned a. Corner but

Speaker 1: he'll be ten in the top. Ten, No zion's not
Speaker 1: on this, list. Folks he's not. Coming he's not going

Speaker 1: is is injured all the. Time did you see him
Speaker 1: in his uh his he had the uh what's it
Speaker 1: called the anime vest. On he looked like he was
Speaker 1: about to bust out of the. Buttons he is not
Speaker 1: back to the. List. Uh first and, foremost we're gonna
Speaker 1: Go Trey. Young he's twenty. THREE i, mean he's just
Speaker 1: regular anybody who can nutmeg on the regular and transition just, electric, leader,
Speaker 1: gritty you, know shutting Down Madison Square, garden an elite,
Speaker 1: shooter phenomenal, passer chip on the. SHOULDER i, mean you
Speaker 1: never know when he's either gonna throw a lob or a.
Speaker 1: FLOATER i, MEAN i Love Trey, young especially because he's he.
Speaker 1: Is if you saw him walking down the, street you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know that he was a basketball. Player incredible for
Speaker 1: someone to be able to do all of those things
Speaker 1: against guys Like Evan, Mobley Laurie markan in seven footers
Speaker 1: on a regular basis just cooking weight shift. Incredible next
Speaker 1: up Is. LUCA i, Mean luca's top ten at any,
Speaker 1: age no matter if it was thirty or, under forty
Speaker 1: or under or. Like luca is an all time best.
Speaker 1: Player his, Passing i've never seen a person pass quite Like. Luca,
Speaker 1: Andy you Know dallas is not a good. Team he
Speaker 1: can take this team to incredible. Heights he's. GREAT i,
Speaker 1: mean he saw what he did With. Slovenia that team
Speaker 1: should not have gone as far as they. Did incredible
Speaker 1: at getting the. Rim how big He's he's also a big.
Speaker 1: Boy you, know he has a shockingly fast for how
Speaker 1: big he. Is elusive and it'd be like if someone
Speaker 1: who was six or eight pattern their game After harden
Speaker 1: and actually. Executed That's luca At. Edwards LIKE i, said
Speaker 1: just nobody plays Like Ant like there's nobody who likes
Speaker 1: contact as a basketball player more than Ant. Edwards he's,
Speaker 1: explosive he can dunk over. Anyone underrated Shooter MUSTY. Tv
Speaker 1: next Up. LAMELLO i think we're in a renaissance for,
Speaker 1: passing But lamello is like a quarterback out. There he
Speaker 1: can not only thread the, needle but he can lob
Speaker 1: in the entire length of the floor and drop it
Speaker 1: in the bread basket for a layup. TWO i, mean
Speaker 1: there's just so many highlights just like. That shooting, underrated
Speaker 1: especially since that was the knock on. Him he's got bounced.
Speaker 1: Like he is so tall for a point, guard can
Speaker 1: do so many things on the. Court his vision is.
Speaker 1: INCREDIBLE i think he's going to be probably one of
Speaker 1: the faces of the. League speaking of face of the,
Speaker 1: league player Up John, Morant jaw Is ai in twenty.
Speaker 1: Twenty jaw can do. Everything he dunks on, people and
Speaker 1: he is. Tiny he is, like not only is he somewhat,
Speaker 1: short he's pretty thin. Too he's got a chip on his,
Speaker 1: shoulder unapologetically. Himself, swag, Insane bounce can lead a team
Speaker 1: on his. Back he can, pass he can shoot, once
Speaker 1: he can shoot free throws in the, clutch, once he
Speaker 1: can shoot deep. Consistently he might actually be a legitimate
Speaker 1: contender for AN. Mvp maybe the most underrated player in
Speaker 1: the league is Probably. Jaw he even Told Chris haynes
Speaker 1: the other, day it took me averaging thirty five a
Speaker 1: night in order for me to get Any All star.
Speaker 1: Consideration Sga sja also very. Underrated the guy plays in
Speaker 1: the worst market in THE, nba and yet still people
Speaker 1: are tuning in for. Him. Infectious he's having fun playing
Speaker 1: For Oklahoma City Thunder, like imagine having fun. There he's
Speaker 1: six y, six but he plays like he's six eight six.'
Speaker 1: nine he can knock. Down threes he can take the
Speaker 1: ball to. The rim he's really nice around the. Rim
Speaker 1: too he. Can pass he's. Just mellow HE got i,
Speaker 1: would say really took a step when he got Mentored
Speaker 1: By chris paul and he's got rare confidence for a
Speaker 1: guy that's. That young next up on The List, donovan,
Speaker 1: mitchell sheesh he. Is it can We Stave donovan Mitchell?
Speaker 1: From utah can we can we just take him out?
Speaker 1: Of there because he has the ability to do things
Speaker 1: that would look Good In Madison. Square garden, you know
Speaker 1: he has the ability to make, Plays defensively he's an
Speaker 1: underrated passer and. A playmaker he's got, nasty handles his big.
Speaker 1: Time shots he can create space over those. Bigger defenders.
Speaker 1: He's TENACIOUS he, i mean he doesn't he can't see.
Speaker 1: Out there he said he needs glasses and he's doing.
Speaker 1: All this so the only real reason that he's not
Speaker 1: higher on everybody's list as you just forget about him
Speaker 1: because He's. In Utah devin booker sort of shouldn't make
Speaker 1: the list because he's just turned. Twenty FIVE but, i
Speaker 1: mean he's maybe the best two guard in. The league
Speaker 1: he's he saw what he did in. The finals, two
Speaker 1: way he can put up huge numbers on massively, tense moments,
Speaker 1: take teams put him on. His back people legitimately shit
Speaker 1: on him for reasons that were not in. His Control
Speaker 1: because phoenix. Was terrible he took a leap FOUR was.
Speaker 1: CP three I Think devin booker is going to take
Speaker 1: another step into the. Public consciousness people are going to
Speaker 1: talk about him. Even MORE and i think maybe because
Speaker 1: he's a, pretty boy maybe because he likes to shoot
Speaker 1: jumpers and not particularly efficient, from three people sort of.
Speaker 1: Slammer him but his footwork. Is insane. His footwork speaking,
Speaker 1: Of footwork tatum is the next player on. The list
Speaker 1: he's got like an. Unlimited bag he has maybe one
Speaker 1: of the smoothest players in. THE league, i mean NEXT.
Speaker 1: To kd he's probably the best scorer IN. The nba
Speaker 1: he's only, twenty three he's, six' eight first. Step deceptively
Speaker 1: quick he's just he's so fun. WHEN he's cooking i
Speaker 1: don't even know what. His ceiling is somebody asked me
Speaker 1: last year who was who would, You rather Take? Luca
Speaker 1: OR tatum And i said tatum just because. Of his,
Speaker 1: position but man that's. A Tough Call FIRST team all
Speaker 1: nba for. Years and years i'd say. Is, A Ceiling.
Speaker 1: Finally DeAndre ayton that last spot WAS tough because, i
Speaker 1: was it Bam, was it Fox. WAS it Collins i put,
Speaker 1: jalen on there but he's just such, a ROLLER coaster
Speaker 1: so i had to. Take Him Off but ayton aiden's
Speaker 1: the player that you can put in any roster and.
Speaker 1: They're just better they. Just automatically, better he's gritty he,
Speaker 1: could be mbad but he's just not allowed. To be
Speaker 1: unbeat but his skill set could be that he likes
Speaker 1: to play. On the perimeter, he can dribble he can,
Speaker 1: play face up. He can Shoot I've watched DeAndre aden
Speaker 1: since he was, a little kid and he can actually.
Speaker 1: Shoot the three they just. Don't let him. He's so
Speaker 1: fun Honorable, mentions Bam, Adebayo Dearon. Fox Jamal murray jamal
Speaker 1: murray would be on that list if, He Was, Healthy John,
Speaker 1: Collins Jalen, Brown Miles, bridges McHale bridges and Honorable. Mention

Speaker 1: This garbage team that's how bad. That team is any
Speaker 1: team that, a, star SAYS well if i, WAS traded
