00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: know my barber, Jason. He bounced to California during the fall.

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: I was devastated. Devastated. You hate to lose a good barber.

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Jason was good conversation, reasonably priced, right by my apartment,

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: and the dude could cut some hair. But it's all good.

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: We've remained friends. In fact, he texted me over the

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: weekend thanking No Dunks for the twenty dollars Hawks Clippers

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: tickets he scored thanks to the game Time app. He

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: got into that arena at the lowest price possible, and

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the best part, he got a free La Clippers hat

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: out of the deal.

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: Interesting, very nice, weird for a barber?

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, very true.

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,520

Speaker 1: we got tons, tons to get to here on this

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday episode of No Dunks, we're starting with a little

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: fill in the blank fund, all right. Luka Doncic made

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: a little history last night, became the second youngest player

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: ever to record a forty point triple double. The Dunk

51
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: finished with a career high forty two points, eleven rebounds,

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: twelve assists in the maps one to seventeen, one to

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: ten win over their interstate rival Spurs. Guys, fill in

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: the blank, This is a good one. Luca is already

55
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: a top blank player.

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: I love it. We're going for it, all right.

57
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Where do you put Luka Doncic right now?

58
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: If we're counting Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, he's top

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 3: nine for me. But if we're taking them out, he's

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: top seven, which is ridiculous.

61
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 5: Wow, you got to include them, may just because they

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 5: are injured, you still have to include them because we

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: know they're going to come back and be stars. Yeah,

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 5: it's I'm trying to list as well, guys who are

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: better than don Chic. Right now, there is Lebron that's hard,

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 5: and there's Jiannas. Is Damien little bit better probably he's

67
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: really smashing down that door. Though, Don'tic to already lay

68
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 5: claim to being a top five player in the league.

69
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 5: He's not there yet. He's not there yet.

70
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: So you're fine with the top ten r like saying.

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: Yes, because he's delivering incredible performance.

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: So he's better to you than Jimmy Butler. He's better.

73
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, say it. Say it. If you're saying top ten.

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: If you're saying top ten, then you're taking him probably

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: above Joel embiid Kar Anthony Towns. Wow, I got that way. Yeah,

76
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: when you're getting into the nitty grity, it's hardened Lebron,

77
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, those are those are top five?

78
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: Ish Ad is in there for me, that's six and

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: so now he's seven. But Paul, I think I'd take

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: Paul George and Damian Lillard and then and then it

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: to me, there's a cutoff. I would take him over

82
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: Nicola Yoka. Right now, what do you think to me?

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean, when I'm hearing you list him out, I'm like, whoa.

84
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: Testsy, He's making some good points.

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: I just think top ten is more of a mindset,

86
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: like I think he's one of the ten best players,

87
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: but there might actually be twelve players. I would take

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: over him because I'm like, Jimmy Butler has been doing

89
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: what Doncic did, not quite at the highlight level he's

90
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: been at for these two weeks, but he's been doing

91
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: it for an entire career. He also is playing defense.

92
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: The Heat are also playing great. Jimmy Butler is really good.

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: If you put Jimmy Butler on your team, you're probably

94
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 2: gonna get close to fifty wins.

95
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: But it seems if you put Doncuch on your team, you're.

96
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: Getting close to but him a top ten, a simple

97
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: top ten.

98
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: That's what I'm like. Are you gonna take Embiid over Doncic?

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: No way, I don't think so.

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're putting him top ten, then you're not.

101
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: And to me, yeah, everybody has their own sort of

102
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: individual issues. Joel Embiid I'm worried about big time in

103
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: terms of his injuries, and we'll talk about that. I'm

104
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: already planning on that. In terms of our one month

105
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: in show, We're going to look back at the first

106
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: month of the season a little bit later this week.

107
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: Joean Beid, I'm worried about big time Karl Anthony Towns.

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 3: You're essentially taking Dontrich over if you put him in

109
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: the top ten.

110
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: Okay, that one I'm fine with.

111
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's only early into his second season

112
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 5: and he's only twenty, and it's like you're pointing out there,

113
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: try you want to sort of see a few more

114
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 5: years of this yet, because it sort of feels a

115
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: little premature to just say, all right, you're immediately better

116
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 5: than these guys who've been doing it for five six

117
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: years and we were All Stars and all NBA players.

118
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: But again, like, it'll be nice to see him play

119
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: a playoff game, Yeah, for sure, for sure, Yeah, just

120
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: to prove it.

121
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: But I believe that this will translate into the postseason.

122
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: And yeah, Jimmy Butler's had some some postseason success, But

123
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: I think Luka Doncrich's game is going to translate very

124
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: well to the playoffs. Why the heck wouldn't.

125
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: According to ghost Face Ziller there this morning with that

126
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: sp Nation, Luca is the only player in the NBA

127
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: in the top eleven in points per game, where he's fourth.

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: He's nearly averaging thirty per game, rebounds per game he's

129
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: eleventh ten point seven, and assists per game he's second overall,

130
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: second only to Lebron with nine point three. MVP tracker

131
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: on Basketball Reference has Luca right now with the mass

132
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: being eight and five fourth the fourth highest chance to

133
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: win MVP, and you know that's based off of, you know,

134
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,559
Speaker 1: the model they've built on previous voting results in MVP.

135
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: It's Lebron, Hard and Giannis and then Luca at fourth

136
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: th right.

137
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I saw your tweet earlier this week, a

138
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: great tweet. Let me say, yeah, bam out of bio

139
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: as on the MVP tracker.

140
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: So you see Bam out of bio, You're like, maybe

141
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: the methodology is a little long.

142
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy Butler sixth, bam ninth. Right now, Clint Capella

143
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: has cracked the dam. Yeah, it's fascinating boards.

144
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: It's all about the bord on that board.

145
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: That's right. But I mean it's not just the forty

146
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: point trouble double. It is it is how he's doing it.

147
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that's step back three. That's cold blooded with

148
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: what about twenty six seconds ago something like that, less

149
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: than thirty seconds to go last night as the game

150
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: they're up to. But he is, he's got the hard

151
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: and step back three. He's got it in his bag.

152
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: It's it's something to like, we're a twenty year old.

153
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great. And the thing is Rick Carlo is

154
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: pretty disciplined in keeping him out of that fourth quarter

155
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 5: until about six minutes to go, Like he doesn't sort

156
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 5: of think, well, he's only twenty, let's just get him

157
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 5: out here and try to secure this win. Like he

158
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 5: gets him out there because he's trying to make sure

159
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 5: that he you know, that's when he is used and

160
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 5: he doesn't get overtired. But the way that he plays,

161
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: the how calm he is out there on the court,

162
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 5: he's got really mature ball handling and decision making skills

163
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 5: for a twenty year old. I think that's what stands

164
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 5: out to me. And this is I mean, we should

165
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 5: say he's been a professional for a lot of years

166
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: in Europe, so he has gone against you know, grown

167
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 5: men in big game, but he certainly looks like he's

168
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 5: someone who you would think is you know, a twenty five,

169
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 5: twenty six year old guy. And he's six or seven

170
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 5: seats already.

171
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: I've said that to the Tree driving in today. It's

172
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: like one thing we're always joking about Gson team. He's

173
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: only twenty one year old. You know, it comes up

174
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: time and time again, and you're seeing of course today

175
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: because he becomes the second youngest player to do this

176
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: forty point trouble double next to Lebron That. Yeah, Lucas twenty,

177
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Lucas twenty. I joked on wo Boy today. I put

178
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: it on the Woe Boy Rundown. I put he's twenty

179
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: as one of the stats. But it is mind boggling.

180
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: I forget that he's twenty. I really do, because I

181
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: think what you're saying he feels. He just has the

182
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: way he plays seems like a guy is sort of

183
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: entering his prime in the NBA, not not a guy

184
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: that's only in his second season.

185
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: He's got the savvy and like we were talking on

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 2: the way in Man, he had a chance.

187
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: To rest film this what happened to the.

188
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: We lost the cruise. We can no longer do views

189
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: from the cruise.

190
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're switching cars too much.

191
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: You know. A couple of days ago we drove in

192
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: in the Highlander today it was the Volkswagen. We don't

193
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: have that many tripods, that's the problem. But Luca also

194
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: got to just work on being an NBA player this year.

195
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: It's like every other year of his professional career, which

196
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 2: is already five seasons deep. He's had a lot of games,

197
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: and he's been going from cup to cup and playing

198
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: for the national team and playing for Barcelona. Now he

199
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: just gets to work on his game and get ready

200
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: to play against the NBA. Also, his season finished in April,

201
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 2: so we had all longer summer than usual.

202
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: You can till it paid off.

203
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I saw an article on bleacher Report today.

204
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: The headline, the title of the article ken Lucas sustained

205
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: this historic start to a sophomore season, And within that

206
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: article they did point out that his efficiency fell off

207
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: a cliff last year. I mean, Luca didn't start as

208
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: strong as he is this year terms of the numbers,

209
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: but he started great member as a rookie, and then

210
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: it did sort of plumbing as the year went on.

211
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 3: He was fat though he shot under forty.

212
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: Two percent in the second half twenty eight percent from

213
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: three to sixty nine percent. Nice from the line, you know,

214
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: it's fair because the guy is not used to playing

215
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yeah, he's not used to playing obviously an

216
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: eighty two game season in Europe gear.

217
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: He looks like he's more in shape though this year

218
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: he looks more cut.

219
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: And he should be more ready, right he should.

220
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd imagine. So it's hard to really prognosticate how

221
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: he's going to play in games fifty through eighty, but

222
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: I imagine he's, yeah, just simply just because he's his

223
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: second year and he understands what's going on, he'll be

224
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: a lot better. He plays at his own pace, you know,

225
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: like James Harden. And that's why watching him, he's like, well,

226
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: this dude's a vet and it looks it looks like

227
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: he's he can you can't speed him up, and he's

228
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 3: gonna get to his spots. And he's a really really

229
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: talented guy and he's just fun to watch. And he's

230
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: also you know, six seven ish, he's not he's not tiny,

231
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: he's not. That's why you compare him, you know, the

232
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: way he plays a little bit, you know, ground bound.

233
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: He's like he's like James Harden to some degree, he's

234
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: kind of you got a Damian Lillard vibe to him,

235
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: but he's half a foot taller.

236
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler is not a bad comparison either. The way

237
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: he's a big, strong wing who can hit the glass

238
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: and create and get his own shot. But the thing

239
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: is that Butler has worked himself to become a pretty

240
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: decent shooter, whereas Luca.

241
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 4: You can tell he's just a good shooter. Yeah.

242
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: Like that shot looks so soft coming off his hands.

243
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 2: The arcist parabolic looks like it's never going to touch

244
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: the rim. It does sometimes, but it is soft. It

245
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: looks like it just curling out of his hand. His

246
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: wrist is so smooth.

247
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

248
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: Do you think the Suns and the Kings, and to

249
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: some extent the Hawks because they traded him, you know,

250
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: deserve to be absolutely raked for not taking Luca.

251
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: They're raking themselves. I'm sure he's some degree.

252
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

253
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 5: I mean it's always a gamble, of course with the draft,

254
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 5: but Luca, they had that chance, and and I remember

255
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 5: talking with the Sons, it was like, don't overthink it.

256
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 5: Ayton's going to be a good player. You're going to

257
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 5: get a star player. You may as well take him.

258
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 5: Because if you if you get a chance and you

259
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: can't take Lucra and he flames out. People say, see

260
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: these Europeans and it's a safer bad exactly.

261
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: Taking the Giant Center that played well Yeahyton.

262
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but David Blatt tried to tell everybody his kid

263
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: is good. Yeah, and uh, you know, he's a very

264
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: likable guy. He said he had his nap yesterday, pregame nap,

265
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: and he said he had a dream that he was

266
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: going to have sixteen fourth quarter points and he had seventeen.

267
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: He said, oh, while he was on the floor, He's like, oh,

268
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: my dream's coming true and he beat it was seventeen.

269
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: Because he's that good. He's a he's a shoe free

270
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: agent as well. Who wants it, that's right.

271
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: He was wearing cries last night. Was under arm stuff.

272
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: Loved it.

273
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was asked about it yesterday. He said, well,

274
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: I'm a free agent trying out shoes.

275
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: You know what.

276
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: The thing he's about him is when he sit on

277
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: the bench, I get really antsy because I'm like, I

278
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: don't want to I can't not watch the MAVs because

279
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 5: he's not on the court, but I don't want to

280
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 5: miss it when he comes back in.

281
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: But you know what's funny about that they're not garbage

282
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: when he's off.

283
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: No, I know they're not.

284
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: But he is unbelievable when he's been off the floor.

285
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 5: I know, I know, but it's still you just want

286
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: to say he's not as magical.

287
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's not mustle.

288
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: We call the mild stallions for a reason.

289
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: Yes.

290
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 5: But the other thing as well, that I think he

291
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 5: still doesn't get enough credit. He's got some incredible court

292
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 5: vision with his passes, like he can hit a guy

293
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: on the opposite side of the court in his spot.

294
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: It's not you're not going too far saying it is

295
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: lebron Lake. Yeah, it is. He has that Larry Bird

296
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: sort of vision.

297
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why he's better than a lot of guys

298
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: were talking about in terms of passing. He is. Oh

299
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 3: and some of these guys that are in their top ten,

300
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 3: in the top ten, do you guys have him in

301
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: your top ten? Can we get a confirmation?

302
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Yes, well yeah, I don't know how you camp on

303
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: him in right now. I think he's right on the cusp.

304
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: You're right about the Katie, you know, Steph injuries. If

305
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: you remove them, it's fun easier, But it is. I

306
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: thought that Jimmy Butler is a fair like you know comparison.

307
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, is a decade older.

308
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: If we put the poll up, there is no doubt

309
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, who's better Luca or Jimmy Butler. I'm guessing, yeah,

310
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: ninety are gonna pick Luca. And I'm not saying they're wrong,

311
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: but I think it's a lot closer than maybe we're

312
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, maybe even I'm making leaving you.

313
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: On well, I mean, I saw polls on Twitter who

314
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: would you rather have?

315
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: Jannis or Luka doncic Janis is the reigning MVP, and

316
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: he's bawling and people are still voting for Luca. So,

317
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're putting this out on Twitter, you're

318
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: not getting an accurate response.

319
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: But he's close enough.

320
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: He's top ten to me, even if there's actually fourteen

321
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: guys ahead.

322
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: Of him, right right, right, It proves he's winning on Twitter.

323
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: Though he's winning in the highlight department, even over Yannis,

324
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: who's dunking everything. Luca's got that, He's got that down

325
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: so far.

326
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: It's like Lee, he doesn't want to see the other

327
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: MAVs play, but he's not going to turn it off

328
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: because he wants to see Luca just come to the

329
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: scorer's table. He wants to see that entrance, the high fives,

330
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: the camaraderie.

331
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 5: He's got that sweet smile too. He's happy. He loves

332
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 5: playing bossball. He's a joyous person.

333
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: It's great. I did like that he gave Dorian Finny

334
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Smith the shout out like after the game because he

335
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: had a great game, a monster game for them. A

336
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: lot of those set up from Luca and he was

337
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: knocking down some shots.

338
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 5: Did you see Mark Cuban as well?

339
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, he was happy.

340
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: It was like a like. It was like Luca was

341
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 5: the guy in high school who was a couple of

342
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 5: years above Cuban, and he was friends with him, and

343
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: he was like, look, I'm cool. I'm friends with the

344
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 5: cool kid. You know what I mean.

345
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: To do?

346
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm hanging out with Yeah, I know him, he

347
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 5: knows me.

348
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: It's cool. It's cool.

349
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: Gat two days in a row man.

350
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 5: The thing is, though, like I don't know exactly how

351
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 5: many national games they have this year, but next season.

352
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: Seen, I believe maybe remaining next season.

353
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: The mass will have I don't know forty. Maybe that's

354
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 5: a good point. No, I mean they're going to have

355
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 5: the time. They are they are, they're going to have

356
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 5: a Christmas Day game, They're going to have Opening night game. Maybe.

357
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: I mean that sort of depends on who wins a championships.

358
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Yea, ye, I hear. Your point is.

359
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 5: It's like, okay, he's this is the next guy who

360
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 5: is going to drive TV rankings in my opinion.

361
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: And he's not even shooting a great percentage from three

362
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: point land. It's actually below average.

363
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: He's very hearted, Like again he is, she's only shooting

364
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 5: thirty percent or so thirty one. Yeah, it feels like

365
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: he's shooting way better than that, but I guess he

366
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 5: only hits the big ones.

367
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: Good win. They're from the MAVs. Like I said, eight

368
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: and five, and yeah, let us know, do you think

369
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Luca is a top ten player? Do you think he's

370
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: top five? Maybe he's more in the top fifteen range.

371
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: Let us know at no. Dunk's inc All right, next one, guys,

372
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: fill in the blank. The most impressive win from Monday

373
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: night was.

374
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: Blank Minnesota timber Wolves in Utah, Yepo Jazz Wolves over

375
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 5: Jazz first home loss for Utah. Minnesota Timbolves still without

376
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 5: Andrew Wiggins and Kyle Anthony town seven threes last night.

377
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: That's what we do when you're matched up with Rudy

378
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: Gobert the big man out. That's a nightmare matchup for Rudy.

379
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 5: Only twenty nine points, but another series and step backs

380
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 5: and and crucial ones too. Sort of put the game

381
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: really in Minnesota's favor there because he was in fault trouble.

382
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was.

383
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 5: He was hitting his own step backs as well.

384
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: The Jazz. He hit three consecutive threes in the fourth quarter.

385
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: One was a bomb man, he would know about it. Yeah,

386
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: he gave him a little stare. That's a good win

387
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: from the Wolves after losing to two and still no

388
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: Wiggins dealing with off the court issues from his family.

389
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, good win.

390
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree, Uh, Jeff Tgue had a really

391
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: good game. Jake Lahman went out. Like you said, there

392
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: was no Wiggins. That's it's almost a bad loss for

393
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: Utah as well. They had a lead in the fourth quarter.

394
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: But Towns was incredible. It looked like he was melting

395
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: down a little bit, wasn't getting calls, but then he

396
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: started hitting the threes. Caught on fire. Him pulling Rudy

397
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: out allowed Jeff t to get in the lane teague.

398
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: Maybe this best game of the season. That was a

399
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: great win for the Timberwolves.

400
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: Remember, Rudy Gobert cost Karl Anthony Town's thirty two million

401
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: dollars this past season. If Towns had been the third

402
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: center on the All NBA squad, you would have had

403
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: another already two million coming his way. But Rudy snagged that.

404
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: So that would piss me off a little bit. I'd

405
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: want to have a good game against the guy that

406
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: took my thirty two million dollars. And it was the right,

407
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: obviously way to play. You know, play go beart if

408
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: you can knock down the three. That's Rudy does not

409
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: want to be out there on the perimeter. And he

410
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: went at him a couple times too.

411
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 5: And r Rudy got him a real good one.

412
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: Rudy got him once for twice, but Kat drove out

413
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: him a few times, took the hit and got it

414
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: up over him off the glass and scored a couple

415
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: of times as well. It was a good game from him.

416
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

417
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: Interesting Towns didn't get a free throat Old last night.

418
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 5: That's interesting that he didn't get at least one trip

419
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: to the line.

420
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 3: As well, because he was hanging out with a three

421
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: point Yeah. I mean Carl took fifteen threes and eight

422
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: twos in this game. He said, yeah, come on out

423
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: and it helped. And a guy who was playing down

424
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: the stretch was a guy by the name of Keelan Martin. Yeah,

425
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: a rook that Karl Anthony town said in the postgame interview.

426
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: He said, yeah, Wolves fans might look at this team,

427
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: might look at Keilan Martin be like oo, but they

428
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: believe it each other. And those photos that you saw

429
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: before the season with Karl Anthony Towns and all his teammates,

430
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: it's coming true. They like each other. And Jeff Tigue

431
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: was awesome in this game as well.

432
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: The Jazz just gonna Sometimes they don't score.

433
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: And that's an issue obviously down the stretch a couple now,

434
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: two games in a row no baskets, So that's I

435
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: don't know how that happened, really, but I guess sometimes

436
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: Dono goes cold. He was five of twenty three. Donovan

437
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: Mitchell was in this game.

438
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say. It wasn't like the Wolves

439
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: defense was all that incredible. The Jazz were getting looks

440
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: half decent looks in the fourth quarter, but not knocking

441
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: them down. That's definitely their's achilles, their achilles heel. Okay,

442
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: So that one any other games that were impressive or

443
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: or everybody jumping on Wolves, Jazz was most impressible. We

444
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: had a little blowouts early in the night, especially the

445
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: early slate of games.

446
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 3: There is a revenge factor theme yesterday. As you said

447
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: about Karl Anthony Towns, Russell Westbrook wanted to get back

448
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 3: at Damian Lillard for waving bye bye in his face

449
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: during the playoffs last year. And you know, Russell is

450
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 3: now James Harden's sidekick and they do it together, and

451
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: Dame is looking for some help and CJ. McCollum is okay.

452
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: But the Rockets they continue to blow teams out. This

453
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: is not a joke, as they've won eight in a

454
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: row now and nobody wants to give them contender status.

455
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: They want to wait to see what James Harden has

456
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: in the postseason. And that's fair, that's fair. But I'm buying.

457
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: I'm buying that they have the ability to do it

458
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. They have all the tools, I think,

459
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 3: even on the defensive end. If they decide that they

460
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: want to play basketball clinic. Capella came back. Good for them,

461
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: good for him because of the concussion issue. They've got

462
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: enough I think in the bag. It's a shallow team,

463
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 3: but they're kicking. They're kicking butt right now.

464
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a matter of keeping Hardening Westbrook fresh

465
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: for the postseason because when it comes to the postseason,

466
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: teams play six or seven guys. Anyways, that's what the

467
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: the Rockets are going to do. Mike D'Antoni is famous

468
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: for having a super short rotation, so you know, Harden

469
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: has been doing a lot. He only scored up measly

470
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: thirty six last night, so his scoring average dropped.

471
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 4: But they're rolling.

472
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: They're rolling, and they're rolling from the start of the season,

473
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: which I think is impressive, not waiting until January to

474
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: try and figure things out.

475
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: And they're sitting Russ games simply to have them fresh

476
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: for the postseason. And I don't remember Russ doing this.

477
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: Last year. He missed nine games, but that's because he

478
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: was hurt. The three years before that he played eighty

479
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: one and eighty. Only when he's hurt does he sit.

480
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 3: If you look at it, its first five years, he'd miss

481
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: a stinking game. They're sitting about one half of back

482
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 3: to backs for the playoffs. They were one of those

483
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: teams that, even though they were eleven and three, they

484
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: could drop in the standings like the Clippers, because they're

485
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: gonna lose regular season games because their stars are gonna sit.

486
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: But that's a good thing if they're fresh in the playoffs,

487
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: they've got the firepower. I mean, you look at the Clippers.

488
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 3: They should be better than the Lakers. Should be better.

489
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: But I can't wait. I'm looking forward to seeing what

490
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: feels like the last opportunity for the Rockets in the playoffs,

491
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 3: a fourth.

492
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Game, twenty plus rebounds. Why is Westbrook not stealing Capella's rebounds?

493
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: Remember that? Yeah, that's right, Yeah, that was stupid. That

494
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: was always stupid to me. The he's stealing rebounds from

495
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: Steven Adams. Well where so? Why why is Capella grabbing

496
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: twenty pless rebounds?

497
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: Maybe album yeah, maybe, maybe he doesn't have the agreement

498
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: in place. I think that's I don't think that's completely

499
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: far fetched. You read Seth Partner on the Athletic He

500
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: says there's just more rebounds out there.

501
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 4: It is true.

502
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: Lots of teams are lots of teams are strategizing to

503
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: have the guard grab it off the board and bring

504
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: it up. That's what the Thunder did for years and years.

505
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: That's not the case with the Rockets right now?

506
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: Fair enough? Next one fill in the blank. Favorite play

507
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: from last night was blank?

508
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 4: Is an airball free throw play?

509
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: Yep?

510
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: Okay?

511
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: In that case, when dal Carter Junior reacting to Gianni's

512
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 2: air bawling yet another free.

513
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: Throw, what is going on here?

514
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: It's it's strange that he misses, he only misses with

515
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: an air ball, but Wendell Carter enhancing his next Al

516
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: Horford reputation, Ye just stares down Giannis stares down the rim.

517
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 4: Like did that really happen?

518
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: But it's just just more evidence that this guy is

519
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: the next Dal Horford. He does exactly what the team needs,

520
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 2: he doesn't always take as many shots as he should,

521
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: and he has hilarious free throw reactions.

522
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: It all adds up.

523
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: Right Al Horford His famous free throw reach where the

524
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: flinch yes on a miss like it was gonna like

525
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: take his head off even though it nowhere near him,

526
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: is to make the guys laugh on the bench. As

527
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: the story goes.

528
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 3: I love the modern day NBA overreacting to an airball.

529
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: Is very funny that when the defense I like when

530
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: an airball Karl Anthony Town's has done this to James Harden.

531
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: An airball goes way out of bounds on a shot,

532
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 3: on a free throw and the defensive player does that,

533
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: WHOA where did that go? Puts his hand up to

534
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: his eyebrows and seeking it out. I love that. I

535
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: love that. That's great stuff. That is really good stuff. Yeah.

536
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: Wendell Carter Juniors is a player. He had six points

537
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: last night and two of them were beauty alley oops.

538
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the problem. Six points.

539
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: It's like he seems to be I don't don't get

540
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: me started on Daniel Gafford was great last night.

541
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: It was great until he was Yeah.

542
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 3: And until they put him on Yannis. Everybody was trying

543
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 3: to go, Yannis, that's a cool boy. Yesterday it was gross.

544
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: I think the bulls.

545
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 5: I think the bulls make yanis the angriest. He just

546
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 5: seems angry Chicago at the time.

547
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: He's rede He.

548
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 5: Goes back to that day when he when he went

549
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: through Mike dune Leavy Junior.

550
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: You know, rivalry was Chicago there possible? Yeah, Okay, what

551
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: do you guys have for a player. Well, I don't know.

552
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 5: If you saw you probably would have signed it. In

553
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: the Raptors game against Charlotte was this reasonably close game.

554
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 5: They blew it open in the third. But Norm Powell

555
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 5: had a doctor j like finger roll last night and

556
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 5: it was one of those ones that almost like he

557
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 5: jumped a little bit early and he just had this

558
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 5: beautiful finish and it just plopped up off the rim there.

559
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: And dropped in.

560
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 5: It was just gorgeous. He's he's very very athletic Norm.

561
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: He's been playing okay, but he's like.

562
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Hit him man. Yeah, yes, a great game and he

563
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: has like a horrible yeah.

564
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 5: But yeah, we don't see too many of those out

565
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 5: in transition where a guy goes for the just the

566
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 5: real finger right, So.

567
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: I basically took off from the free throw and just

568
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: he's let her rip. Yeah.

569
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: The Ragers were playing the beautiful game last year.

570
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: They were I think they ended with franchise.

571
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: High forty had a beautiful one with Fred van Vliet

572
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 5: in the corner where it was just Fred went back

573
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 5: to Mark and then Mark had a little no look

574
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 5: drop off and Fred knocked it in and right now

575
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 5: as I was I was gonna tweet this last night,

576
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 5: but I don't want to get too carried away. If

577
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 5: the All Star Game was today, is Fred van Vliet

578
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 5: an All Star?

579
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 3: Wow?

580
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 5: Man, he's had a great season. Man, he's a great player.

581
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 5: Is he an All Star?

582
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: I'd say no. The guy's been unbelievable.

583
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 5: Yeah's injured, of course.

584
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Larry's coming backs. Yeah.

585
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 3: I know.

586
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying though, Like, like, right now, if

587
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 5: you have to pick your All Star team, just Freddy Maker.

588
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: I have have to go through the East roster, I guess,

589
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say no.

590
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 3: He's seventeen and yeah, seven and a half right now?

591
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: Do you bet on yourself? Do you live the mantra

592
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: have bet on yourself?

593
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 5: Let Sometimes.

594
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: I'll take that as a no.

595
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, you answer the question for all my stat

596
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: heads out there, Fred van Vliet shooting a higher three

597
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: point percentage than field goal percentage. You don't see that

598
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: very often. Shooting thirty eight percent from the floor not good,

599
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 3: but thirty nine point five from three point land very good.

600
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: My favorite play, I'm gonna go with the Clippers Thunder

601
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Game two twenty two, to go clips up one ball

602
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: goes to Mantras. Harald sort of on the left side

603
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: of the floor. He's got Adams on his back, faces

604
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: the rim, quick dribble, blow by baseline and dunks it

605
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: with Adams challenging Mantres. Harald was money down the stretch

606
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: for the Clippers in a close game, back and forth

607
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: game between the Thunder Paul George. You know, he gets

608
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: the headline because he had another good game. He hit

609
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: the big three to put them up, you know, with

610
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: less than thirty seconds ago. Beautiful play, great shot, he's

611
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: ball and got the new shoulders. It's working. But Montres.

612
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: They don't win that game without montresl He was awesome

613
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: again down the stretch for the Clip. So I just

614
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: want to give that one a little love, show him

615
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: a little love, and again another another win for the

616
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: Clips without Kawhi Leonard. That's two now without Kawhi who

617
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: was out. Not load management, not load management.

618
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 3: And I don't want to talk about coaches challenge, but

619
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 3: the coaches challenge won them the game. Not wrong, they

620
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: used it. In the last ten seconds. There was a

621
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: foul called on the Clippers. They said, doctor said, yeah,

622
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 3: let's do this, let's do it. I don't want to know,

623
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: let's do it. Who's the assistant coach? You jumped up

624
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 3: and went bonkers. Now it wasn't Sammy anyways, he went

625
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: Boker's got the call. Turned it basically two free throws

626
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: went the other way. It was in a tie game.

627
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: They won him the basketball game. It's working sometimes, guys.

628
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: And Doc hates it. He's on the record saying absolutely

629
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: the coaches challenge as most of the coaches do.

630
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he likes winning though, I'm sure he does.

631
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he does, all right. Final one here, guys

632
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: for filling the blank. In a video posted to his

633
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: YouTube channel.

634
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 3: Was Tyloo. Sorry, sorry it was Tyloo. Had to give

635
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 3: TYLERU almost had a vain convulsing in his brain as

636
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: he jumped up and made it happen.

637
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: In a video posted to his YouTube channel Monday night,

638
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony spoke publicly for the first time since agreeing

639
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to a non guaranteed contract with the Blazers. Mello said

640
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: he always viewed Portland as a potential suitor, that a

641
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: deal came together very fast and it appears to be

642
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: quote a perfect opportunity end quote. There are rumors that

643
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: Mellow might play tonight versus the Pelicans. Guys, if he does,

644
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: I want you to fill in the blank. Mello's Blazer's

645
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: debut will be.

646
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: Blank, voluminous. I think he's gonna get shots of a

647
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 3: volume of shots will be high tonight.

648
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: Okay.

649
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna let her rip because Dame is fatigued.

650
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 3: Right now, He's only shot Look at his last five game,

651
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: all under twenty shots. That's not Dame like mm hmm,

652
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: So there's something going on there. I think he's just

653
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: gassed this part of the season. He's had to carry

654
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: the team, so somebody else is going to get shots.

655
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: Mel's gonna get that ball on his fingertips and letter rip.

656
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm right there with you, surprisingly robusts Okay, playing against

657
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: the Pelicans, they play fast and they don't play any defense,

658
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: So nobody's gonna care if Carmelo Anthony plays defense.

659
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 4: They gotta see what he's still got, so just let

660
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 4: him go.

661
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: Crazy, like you're saying tasks after his sixty point game,

662
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard's at about thirty three percent from the field.

663
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, this is a Dave deforced

664
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: that I can't vouch for it. You know what happened

665
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: last time, I got burned on the fifteen nineteen. But

666
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna trust him here. I'm gonna trust Dave four

667
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: of The Daily Ding Lillard needs little help. Let mellow shoot.

668
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: See what he can do. Nobody cares if you're trying

669
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: to get a stop. The Pelicans are like twenty seventh

670
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: in defense. The Blazers are twenty second in defense. They're

671
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: both top ten in pace letter Raph.

672
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: How many? How many shots tips?

673
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: So are we talking sixty nine?

674
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: Fifteen?

675
00:28:59,480 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

676
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: I think he gets in the team some way.

677
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: That's a lot. It's not a coincidence that he's starting

678
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 3: his season against the Pelicans, as just had a bad

679
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 3: defensive team. It's not a coincidence that they would put

680
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: him out against a bad team to get get the

681
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: feel on the flow as of post playing the Spurs

682
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: or the Rockets, who they had on the schedule after

683
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: they signed him.

684
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: The second night of a back to back, two take

685
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: up some minutes, take up some shots.

686
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, okay, so we're setting the line. I

687
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: like that fifteen and a half field goal attack.

688
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 5: Ah, that's a high lie, I'll take the over. Actually,

689
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 5: I think he's just going to let it fly in the.

690
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: Ten games he played for the Rockets last year. He

691
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: had two games where he shot over fifteen times, another

692
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: one where he shot fourteen. He had some actually good

693
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: games when you look back at his line for those

694
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: ten games, shot eight of eighteen in one game, nine

695
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: to seventeen, eight of fourteen, nine to twelve. And then

696
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: he had some stinkers. That was the thing. He either

697
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: had those really solid games where he had like the

698
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: classic like one for elevens. I think that was the

699
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: last game actually before he got let go. All right,

700
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: so you like, you're you're with these guys, you think

701
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna see uh Melill get those shots night?

702
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, why not?

703
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean Twitter's gonna be going crazy.

704
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 5: Well, that's all I was going to say for the

705
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 5: film bank this This might be the most watch game

706
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 5: of all seasons so far because Mellow's got that ratings down.

707
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 5: Melow's got that draw though that like he's polarizing people.

708
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 5: Fans of Mellow are almost like fans of Kobe, where

709
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: they just think Mellow, you know, he's he's one of

710
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 5: the greatest we've ever seen, whereas other people like Mellow

711
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: is a great scorer, you know, but he's not in

712
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 5: that super elite category by any means, he's going to

713
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame. But he's not like a Lebron

714
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 5: or a Duran or anyone like that. But his fans

715
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 5: are very very loyal to him, like Derek Roses fans,

716
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 5: and and that's that's the thing. People think Mellow deserves

717
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 5: to be back in the league and deserve to be

718
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 5: on a team where he has a big role.

719
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: And players included.

720
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's very popular amongst the players, so you know,

721
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 5: the tweets are going to be playing for interesting though,

722
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 5: Like since I got announced that he was signing with

723
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 5: the Blazers, every single article, even when Woes wrote it,

724
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 5: was like, hey, the Blazers are like, oh, well we've

725
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 5: got nothing else, why not we may as well just

726
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 5: try this guy. If you're Mellow and his there's not

727
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 5: been anyone's gone. Well Mellow could actually really uh you know,

728
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 5: turn the turn this team right. It's always it's always

729
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 5: been like, yeah, I mean they're desperate, they're desperate, you

730
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: might as well take a shot I and no one

731
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 5: else wants him, Like it's not very encouraging.

732
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: No, It's kind of like when the task brought it

733
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: in the lunch and We're like, what you got today

734
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: is like beans in an egg.

735
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 4: Not about it, but it's there. It's a lot of protein.

736
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: Gotta fill that stomach somehow, and honestly, beans in an egg,

737
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: it's a great combination.

738
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 4: Maybe this works out.

739
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, the poll question today, are beans in an egg

740
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: more reliable than Carmelo Anthony? I'd say yes.

741
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: I thought, did you guys watch the YouTube clip that

742
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: was going around? Yeah, I watched it. I thought the

743
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: most interesting thing from it was Mellow. He revealed that

744
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: the Blazers wanted him to join the team immediately. This

745
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: goes maybe to what you were talking about task, which

746
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: is interesting, Like maybe he says they wanted him to

747
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: get there right away, but he asked for a few

748
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: days to sort of clear his head and get his

749
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: his mind right, get sort of back into that idea

750
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: of a plane in the NBA. Yeah, I thought that

751
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: was a little interesting. You said quote there's a big

752
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: difference in training while you're waiting and training once you

753
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: get the call and saying okay, we want to do this,

754
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: which is probably true.

755
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure that makes sense, and I can see him

756
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 2: wanting to do it on the road because when Mellow

757
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: plays his first game in Portland. I think it's gonna

758
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: be it's gonna be a huge event having him back,

759
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: And if that was his very first game, maybe it's

760
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: just a little bit overwhelming for having been out of

761
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: the year, out of the league. For you, you think

762
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 2: back to when Porzingis came to New York, it was

763
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: like it was the super Bowl for New York. Right,

764
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: So it's like the team is just super energized because

765
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: something new is happening, something more more than just the

766
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: game is at foot and so mellow. Returning after a

767
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: year break, it's gonna be a crazy atmosphere.

768
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 4: To do it on the road, maybe a little bit easier.

769
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 1: We will see. All right, let's get into the updown report,

770
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: But first Lee wants to talk shoes.

771
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: Ever won to had to get the hottest new sneakers,

772
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 5: the ones that barely hit the shells. The ansa the

816
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: of just bounce straight in front of him. He was

817
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 2: in stride. Just let it rip, book, nobody got hit.

818
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 2: It's fine.

819
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,640

Speaker 1: lives by that.

822
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 3: Percent with that the ball is a sacred thing. You

823
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: don't kick it. You just don't kick a basketball. It's

824
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: one of those things. Hands only he did hoof it?

825
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, hands only, baby, Yeah, you just got to be carefully.

826
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 5: I mean, because a ball don't you in the head.

827
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 5: It can really do.

828
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: It went into the st Yeah.

829
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: I know, I know. I think.

830
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 5: I think the NBA has just got to be saying, like,

831
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 5: I know, but we can't allow it for celebration.

832
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 4: Reykicks.

833
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 5: We've got a thing everyone for kicking the ball in right.

834
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: You can still knock somebody uncontract even if it was

835
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: a happy kick. Yeah, happy kick, your angry kick. It

836
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: could still knock somebody out if they're not looking. I guess,

837
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sort of with on this.

838
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, morally, yes, of course it's a celebration. But the

839
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 5: problem is if you allow it, then people are just say, well,

840
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 5: you'll let buddy, he'll get away with it. Now you

841
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 5: can't let me.

842
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man.

843
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if one player kicked the ball after

844
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 2: a game, and that would be crazy?

845
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 5: Guys nowhere if a guy gets ejected in the boots

846
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 5: and he's I was celebrating getting ejected and.

847
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 1: Like, right, I was happy day.

848
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 4: You got a smile before you kick it? And that's fine.

849
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right, because Tracy McGrady and Chuck Purson were angry.

850
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 5: But if you got a big smile and so we

851
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 5: count fine and a happy guy can't wait.

852
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 2: I coached throw the challenge flag. They're like, look at

853
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: his face? Was it was he grinning? Was he grinning?

854
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 4: Then he's got to stay in It's fine, all right?

855
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: Next one, This Saturday, the Memphis Grizzlies are going to

00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: wear the iconic teal Vancouver Grizzlies jerseys when they host

857
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Grizzlies play in Vancouver, British Columbia from ninety

858
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: five to two thousand and one before moving to Tennessee. Guys,

859
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: are you up and down on the Grizzlies wearing Vancouver throwbacks?

860
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: I'm down. It's just rubbing it in their face. I

861
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 3: think a little bit. Do you remember the time when

862
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: we stole your basketball team? Yeah? Do you remember? Remember?

863
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 5: But isn't that a little bit of a you know,

864
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 5: tribute to him, say hey, we haven't forgotten you got.

865
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 3: I like the jerseys? Yeah, John Morant looks great in it. Yeah.

866
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 5: Are they going to use the old I think that

867
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 5: I using the old court.

868
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: There's going to be a throwback court as well.

869
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a little bit more of a

870
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: dig to the.

871
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: Court does not like it. This is why we're asking this.

872
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 3: Stern doesn't like it either. He thinks there should be

873
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: a team back in Vancouver, get it back there.

874
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, people would hate it if the thunder war Seattle

875
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: super Sonics jerseys. And I mean it's a slightly different scenario,

876
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: but not totally. Are they going to have everybody in

877
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: the stands has to wear like a Roberto Luongo Vancouver

878
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: Canucks jersey? I don't know if they're really going throw

879
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: back to you. Yeah, you have to go super Vancouver

880
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: with it. Feels a little bit like stolen balor. But

881
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm happy to see him back with the cool designs

882
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 2: on the trim and that kind of stuff.

883
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: The teal.

884
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: Everybody loves the jersey itself, but the idea of maybe

885
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: Memphis wearing it exactly.

886
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 2: And it's not an anniversary of anything, it's like, well,

887
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies started in ninety five, right, they moved in

888
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: two thousand and one years wise, this is not as well.

889
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: It's a twenty fifth anniversary of the franchise, like the

890
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: Raptors and it's quite yes. And then next year, next

891
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: year they're gonna wear a Memphis version for the twentieth

892
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: anniversary of being in Memphis.

893
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 5: Be it's not in ninety five and in the twenty.

894
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: Ten it's the Rapts are doing same thing.

895
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, start in nineteen twenty season of basketball.

896
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 4: And in twenty twenty.

897
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: That's why they're doing it.

898
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, years don't make sense to

899
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 2: me when I when I'm counting them up, because I'm

900
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: ninety five to twenty that does add up to twenty five.

901
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: But you finished playing the season in ninety six to

902
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 2: twenty is twenty four, But you're gonna end.

903
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: This season in twenty al right, sto. Yeah, it's a

904
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: real birthday situation too.

905
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 4: You know it's so true, so true?

906
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: All right, next one, finally, guys, why well not finally

907
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: we got two here. Why did D'anngela Russell choose the

908
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: Warriors over the Wolves this past offseason? The weather? Apparently,

909
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Russell told Chris Hine of The Star Tributne quote,

910
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: I did my first winter in New York and that

911
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: was tough. So to get the opportunity to go it

912
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: was somewhere where it's warm again. I think that played

913
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: a major part in my plan. And quote on that

914
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: upper down Ondiangelo is what I'm calling brutal honesty here

915
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: about why he sort of leaned towards choosing the Warriors

916
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: over the Wolves. The weather.

917
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 5: I would rather live in San Francisco than Minnesota if

918
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 5: I had the choice.

919
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: Have you been to Minnesota?

920
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 4: No?

921
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 5: Okay, but I've been to San Francisco.

922
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: He's talked about it before. He doesn't want to go

923
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 3: to Minnesota.

924
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean, you know, like, why not you

925
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 5: need one hundred and seventeen million to live in San Francisco.

926
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 5: That's for sure. You would get a lot more bang

927
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 5: for your buck in Minnesota. But one of those things

928
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 5: if you have, you know, the choice. Because the Wolves

929
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 5: tried to work a sign and trade to get him

930
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 5: and weren't able to do it, and then the Warriors were,

931
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 5: so he might not have had too much, say, you know,

932
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 5: if things had been figured out a little bit earlier.

933
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean San Francisco is one of those cities. Man,

934
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 5: I'd move there, all right.

935
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 3: So you like it, you guys, D'Angel Russell just like us.

936
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: I like it, just telling like it. These are things

937
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 3: that we would say to our loved ones when we're

938
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 3: making a decision.

939
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you got a factor in everything. It's not

940
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: just playing basketball. If you have grown up not having

941
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: or if you've grown up with winters and then you

942
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: moved to a place that doesn't have a harsh winter,

943
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 2: you're like, what was I doing?

944
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 4: What was I doing for the first thirty years of

945
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 4: my life?

946
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 2: So apparently he grew up in Kentucky, finished his high

947
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: school career in Florida, then went to Ohio State for

948
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: a year, la got back into the summers, yep, and

949
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: then he had a New York winter and he's like,

950
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: this sucks. This really really sucks. I mean, there's surely

951
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: a winter in San Francisco, but not as harsh as Minnesota.

952
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

953
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 4: No.

954
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, he's being very very honest about it.

955
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: You gotta respect that, and he might end up in

956
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: Minnesota at the end of the day, that's right. Yeah,

957
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: So who knows?

958
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 4: All right?

959
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: Final one. Comedian Dave Chappelle was at the Lakers practice

960
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: on Monday, shooting in some shots, taking a few photos,

961
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: talking to the team coach Frank Voegel called Chappelle the

962
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: greatest stand up comedian of all time, but that went

963
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: on to say his favorite Chappelle bit was his cameo

964
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: in The Nutty Professor. Those are two things. He said.

965
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: The question though, are you up or down on the

966
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: Nutty Professor? Remember the movie Anie Murphy movie?

967
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

968
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is he? Mister Clump Sherman Clumps is a

969
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: clump or clumps? I guess he's clump.

970
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 5: He is.

971
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: He plays a bunch of a clump and then the

972
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: family is the Clumps and he plays.

973
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: A lot of them.

974
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

975
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: The second one called yeah right.

976
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: And I think they made a they made a Christmas

977
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 2: thing like Christmas with the Clumps or something like that.

978
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 4: I don't know.

979
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: Annie Murphy is a little bit of a of a

980
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: Mike Myers. He loves to get into prosthetic makeup. And

981
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: I'm up on The Nutty Professor. I went back and

982
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,959
Speaker 2: watched the Chris Matthews fart scene where they're all sitting

983
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 2: around the table just just parted up at dinner like crazy.

984
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: That's so funny, does it? Does it looks awesome? Like

985
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: the make up looks awesome. Great job on it, But

986
00:41:59,200 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't really know.

987
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: If it took on the Academy Award that year, but

988
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 4: much deserved.

989
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you would love this movie.

990
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't say I love it.

991
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: You love Missus Fire a similar vibe to this.

992
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, there there is. I went, do you remember seeing

993
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: it in the cinema? Actually I went and sort it

994
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 5: because I was a big Eddie Murphy fan. Uh, but it.

995
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: Was it was weird.

996
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 5: It was just a weird movie. You know, Eddie peaked

997
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 5: it coming to America and he really struggled after that, Right.

998
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 4: You didn't like uh bo Finger?

999
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 5: Wasn't he a bow finger? Remember that one?

1000
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:36,680

00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: Wait, I thought that's called I thought Dave was like

00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 4: a president.

1006
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 3: Kevin Klein? Is Kevin President?

1007
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: What am I figuring? What's the Eddie Murphy movie where

1008
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: he lives inside?

1009
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 2: Like, uh, yeah, you're right, Dave, it's called yeah, yeah,

1010
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: is that part of the Dave universe?

1011
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 4: It's hard to tell.

1012
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: It's called me Dave? What a stupid?

1013

00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 4: No, I've heard it's great.

1015
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 3: It's great, It's really good.

1016
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: Good to know, good to know, did you ever see

1017
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: Nutty Professor?

1018
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,799

1022
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where Chappelle is, right, he's playing the stand

1023
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: up comedian. He's playing Reggie Warrington.

1024
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: Reggie Warrington Junior, just insulting. And we watched it before

1025
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 2: the show. Let's get some lines off. But I don't

1026
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: know if you would pick him doing a bit in

1027
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 2: a movie as the best stand up he's ever done.

1028
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 4: Have you seen this Chappelle show?

1029
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:47,319

1032
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: Know, you know, you don't count that. I don't think

1033
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: he counts it.

1034
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 5: That's fine, that's fine.

1035
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 3: That was good movies.

1036
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, he probayed that role. Well, but do you remember Boomerang?

1037
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 5: It's just about him, like chick's just all in love

1038
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 5: with him, and you know, remember.

1039
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 3: Until the end of the Road boys to me?

1040
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, and he ended up you know with Hatlee

1041
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 5: Berry like yeah, yeah, great, he wrote that himself. Oh yeah, right,

1042
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 5: if that's all we have to do, and wrote my

1043
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 5: own movie too, Okay, let's get to tweeting the night.

1044
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 3: Tweet out the Night, Wow.

1045
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: The Night. I know a lot of people were suggesting

1046
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: that I should give it to the Sacramento Kings, who

1047
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: did one of their classic like threads where they were

1048
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: trying to give every NBA team their Disney Plus character.

1049
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: It's really well done. You gotta go check it out.

1050
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: But it's obviously, like you know, twenty nine to thirty tweets,

1051
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna give it to that. I thought

1052
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: this tweet was interesting because I like the question coming

1053
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: off of it at Chris Palmer, NBA tweeted, it's very

1054
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: clear Kawhi will never win MVP. He simply won't be

1055
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: able to play in enough games. He hasn't played both

1056
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: games of a back to back in two and a

1057
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: half years, and he likely never will again. Okay, possibly true,

1058
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, his point being, despite how talented he is

1059
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: and how amazing he is, he just won't really ever

1060
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: hit that threshold of whatever games you gotta play let's

1061
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: call it, you know, seventy to really be in the MVP.

1062
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: Conversation made me think, will Kawhi? Is it possible Kawhi

1063
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: will end his career as the greatest player to never

1064
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: win MVP. If this were to hold and he doesn't

1065
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: win one, it's possible. I think it is possible. Like

1066
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 1: who else there's I mean, okay, Chris Paul, it's gonna

1067
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: be in the mix, Isaiah Thomas, gonna be in the mix,

1068
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen, Clyde Drexler, Dwayne Wade, Jerry West never won.

1069
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't believe an actual regular season MVP.

1070
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 3: Jake Kidd.

1071
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 1: Why sounds like he still might be above all those guys.

1072
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 2: No, oh yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, it's it's close. Okay,

1073
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 2: he was Wade. I mean, Wade's got three titles and

1074
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 2: the finals MVP.

1075
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dwayne Wade, I mean Daye Wade could have one.

1076
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: M VP, Like he could have won MVP. He's had

1077
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: seasons like eight oh nine. He was really really good.

1078
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: Isaiah I think is a good one too.

1079
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. It just I always think Dwyane Wade won one.

1080
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: In my Yeah that's what yeah, yeah, yeah, won a

1081
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 2: scoring title.

1082
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right.

1083
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 4: Those those are good. Those are good.

1084
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: Okay, fun question league and anyone else that you're thinking hard.

1085
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to think of some of the ol

1086
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 5: to go I have the check throw him in there. Yeah, Hondo,

1087
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 5: interesting question because I do think if I said, you

1088
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 5: know what, I want to win MVP this year, I

1089
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 5: think he could go out and probably do it. But

1090
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 5: he's he clearly doesn't does not care.

1091
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 3: No.

1092
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you won a third title and

1093
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: with a finals m VP for three different franchises, and

1094
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: some of these franchises that we're talking about, you know, okay,

1095
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: take the Spurs off the table that you obviously had

1096
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: a ton of success, but the Raptors and then the

1097
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: Clippers for crying aloud, I mean, wow, But wait, grades,

1098
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna call on some of those other guys we

1099
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 1: listened to. He's gonna be right there. It's very very close,

1100
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think you will win an MVP. I

1101
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty good tweet there from Chris. All right,

1102
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: let's get to the pick and results from Monday night.

Speaker 1: I am drunk all right. Monday night's results it was

1128
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: the Celtics Suns game. Surprised, actually, no one took out

1129
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: for most impressive winn of the night. That was a

1130
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: good win from the Celtics going against a scrappy Suns

1131
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: bunch in Phoenix, but the Celtics got it done, had

1132
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: a big second quarter, held onto that lead they won.

1133
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: Suns were favored in this game, as we talked about yesterday.

1134
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: So that's a win for Tass and I taking the

1135
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: Celtics train lead with the loss taking Phoenix. Here's our

1136
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: records for November. I'm seven and five, Lee and Task

1137
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: six and six, Tray five and seven. Tonight's game, what

1138
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:08,439
Speaker 1: do we got?

1139
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 3: It's that Carmelo Anthony Bowl. Carmelo Anthony making his debut

1140
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 3: for the Portland Trail Blazers going into New Orleans. Blazers

1141
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: are favored by three and a half in this one,

1142
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 3: so we got a win by four. If you're taking

1143
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 3: the Blazers like I am, I don't don't believe in

1144
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 3: the Pelicans to win two in a row. They're up

1145
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 3: and they're down. They're coming off a win, even though

1146
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: this is a back to back for the Portland Trail Blazers.

1147
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: I'm taking a Blaze.

1148
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take the points at home. Give me

1149
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: the Pelicans, Uh, been overthinking and I think whatever.

1150
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the blazer Plazes look a little gas straight. Now

1151
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 5: Drew Holiday's been playing well, I'll take the Pelts.

1152
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 1: I'm with Tassie once again. I'm taking the Blazers. We're

1153
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: gonna this is the exact opposite of what happened last

1154
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: year where Mellow got all the blame for the Rockets

1155
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: poor start. Exact opposite's gonna happen this year. Horrible start

1156
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: from Blazers, metals coming in, whether or not even actually

1157
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: really contributes all that much. I think the Blazers are

1158
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 1: gonna slowly get it going and then he's gonna get

1159
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: all the credit. So I am going with the Blazer's

1160
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: favorite by three and a half. Good luck to everyone, guys.
