WEBVTT - Who Is To Blame In Minnesota?

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>So the Wolves still stink.

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>They do three and seven in their last ten. But

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the question is how bad have things gotten in Minnesota

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 2>this year? Well, Austin fucking Rivers is now fielding questions

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>about who's to blame for the dumpster fire of the season.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Austin Rivers, that is what tells you it is a

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>big old yikes.

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>This is a man who you see a picture of

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>when you google journeyman.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:42.559
<v Speaker 1>This is the name.

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>You see when you google what does it look like

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to not even be a fully guaranteed player?

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Who's a son of a coach. Now he's the go

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to guy to tell you what it's like.

0:00:54.680 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>What like, please diagnose dysfunction for me, Austin Rivers, what

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>like we're going to He's the only one that'll speak honestly.

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>He's like, can I.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Just get in the press because I know nobody cares

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>about what I'm doing on the floor, Like.

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy that we want to see tell

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>us what's wrong in Minnesota. This is what we want.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Austin decided, Okay, I'm gonna go and go right into

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>pr mode. I'm gonna channel my father, Doc Rivers when

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>he says, well, everyone has had an opinion. When Rudy

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>was out, it was Rudy's fault, and when then he

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>came back, it was this other guy's fault. And now

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.559
<v Speaker 2>it's this guy's fault. You know what, It's nobody's fault.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>It's all of us. Pause, hold on, So let's break

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 2>that down for a second. First of all is the

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>admission that everyone has an opinion, which means that there

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>are now camps emerging, opining, desserting, who is to blame.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 2>We've got think pieces coming out about who's fucking up

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>this team the most, meaning that there is no one

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 2>possibly responsible from a like A, there's not a consensus

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>right now. There's so many problems we don't even know

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>where to turn in terms of how to fix it. Rudy, Karl,

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Towns, Chris Finch, you get the D'Angelo Russell, you.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Get the picture.

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Second, the stark and very honest admission is that everyone

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>sucks on this team, everyone.

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>All of us.

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Like that the waterboy sucks, the towel girl sucks, like

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the broadcast team sucks.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>We all suck, all of us.

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>This is an organizational disaster. Everyone except for Aunt Edwards.

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Aunt Edwards deserves no blame. He literally is the only

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>one you cannot blame it all. I have opinions on

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 2>what's happened in Minnesota. We've talked about him before. I

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>will not recover old ground, but things are gonna have

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>to change in Minnesota. My guys, I don't know how

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>they've lost six in a row. They lost to Detroit

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>at home.

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Let me say that again.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>They lost to Detroit at home without Cade Cunningham. My god,

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>they are two games back for the play in spot.

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>They are a worse team this year than they were

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 2>last year or the year before, and they've got a

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>guy who won Defensive Player of the Year on it.

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of people thinking this would be a

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 2>top four team in the West. Myself included shame on me,

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Shame on me. And then the Rudy Gobert trade happened,

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>and shit has been awful since they they gave up everyone.

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>And the worst thing at all of all is all

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 2>the pieces that they traded in Utah are bawling in Utah.

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Danny Ainge continues to fleece. Doesn't matter where he goes,

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 2>there is always an idiot. It doesn't matter how small

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the room, there is always one idiot. You can fleece

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>in the room and now we know who it is.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Tim Conley. Tim Conley, Utah is still good right now,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>better than Minnesota. You traded Rudy Gobert, got a bunch

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>of pieces back plus four draft four first round picks,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 2>by the way, and they're still better. Walker Kessler more

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:18.799
<v Speaker 2>blocks this year.

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Than Rudy Gobert is a rookie.

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Ah ah, no say it e'ate so say.

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>It eate so Doc. That is what's called going from

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>bad to worse. And get this, they might trade Garl

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Towns. The rumors are starting the surface.

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I love seeing Minnesota struggle now. They were a team

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I was rooting for and then they did this. Michael

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Penie at The Ringer wrote to the following, having just

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.799
<v Speaker 2>signed an extension, Towns can't be traded until the summer.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>But if the Wolves.

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Either fail to qualify for the play in or lose

0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>before the second round, pause lose before the second are

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>you thinking this is a team that's going to the playoffs?

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Hold on like that is one hell of an assumption.

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>So if that's the qualifier for trade Karl Anthony Towns,

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you might as well just trade him right the fuck now, now, sir,

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>there is a expect a deafening chatter around Towns' future.

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>There's always a chance Minnesota turns things around by tightening

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>up its three point defense because that's easy to do,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and finding a better way to space the floor because

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 2>that's easy to do with Rudy Gobert. But I'm not

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 2>counting on it. Chris Finch also recently said, yeah, I'm

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna start playing the guys. I actually just think should

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 2>be out on the court no matter who they are.

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>So that could be Wendell Moore, the rookie. That's what

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>they say, Expect more Wendell more minutes. If you don't

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>know who Wendell Moore is, I don't even blame you.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Honestly. He's a sort of like a.

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Combo wing, undersized wing played for duke rookie Josh may

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>not have you heard that name? Awesome guy who came

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.559
<v Speaker 2>off the bench and got about twelve minutes a game

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>for Memphis. So like Memphis basketball, like the college team, Well,

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>we're just gonna play.

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>The young guys development minutes right now.

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 2>And you think this is the team, Michael Pina that's

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>going to the second round, sir, so Rudy's been hurt,

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>He's been in an out of the lineup. Cat has

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 2>been out as well. D'Angelo Russell, most overpaid best friend,

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>probably not.

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Gonna make it. He's gonna take a pay cut.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>And Chris Finch, who not only signed off on the

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 2>go Bear trade but actually endorsed the move, has now

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 2>got the look of a guy with his neck firmly

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.119
<v Speaker 2>inside of the guillotine, waiting for it to drop, looking

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>to the sky for it to drop at any time.

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So leave it to Austin.

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Rivers, the Wolve's newest spokesperson, to wrap us up in

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a nice little bow. He said, Yeah, we gotta go

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>out and get wins them man ors, you will turn.

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I promise you we win three four in a row

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and the whole dynamic's gonna change.

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I promise you. Just gotta stay with us, man.

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Keep coming to games, Please support us, and we gotta

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>stay with us more importantly than anybody else.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Good old chip off the old block.

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Austin Rivers, just keep staying with us, keep watching us

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>bang our heads into the wall. Please stick around, please

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>support us no matter what. Austin Rivers could be a

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>coach because he might as well have been channeling Doc Rivers.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>The problem is is that this has already.

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Happened, these little wind streaks, these little moments, and that

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>did nothing to halt the slide. They beat Okay, see

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the Bulls, the MAVs before they are recent five game

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>losing streak.

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>So no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Austin.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think three or four in a row is

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna change the dynamic, the spacing issues, the lack of

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 2>the flow on the offense, or or more importantly, the

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 2>lack of options that you have in order to fix it,

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the lack of I think you have two second round

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>picks to trade. What are you about to do with that?

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 2>What you're about to do with that? Poor old Chris Finch,

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna get fired for no reason other than the

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 2>fact that, like this the only move left on the chessboard,

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Like that's.

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Literally the only thing you can do.

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>It's a company that's dying and failing, and the only

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>thing left is to make a board shake up, to

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 2>fire the CEO.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Because you are a bad business.

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>You have no cash flow, You've got a bunch of

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 2>things in debt, you've got assets that have no ability

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 2>to move. This is the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the only

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 2>move left is to change the leader.

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>That is so sad, so so sad, so uh weird

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 1>shit's happening in Boston.

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Not really sure what to make of it, Honestly, reports

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 2>out of Boston last week was that the interim tag

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>would not be removed from Joe Missula is not exactly

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 2>sure why that is since up until you know, pretty recently,

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics were the number one team in the NBA.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>They had the number one defense.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 2>They were having an historically good offense, and I mean

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>by historically, I mean the best statistically in the entire

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.439
<v Speaker 2>history of the NBA.

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>So until they weren't.

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, like people starting to see some of the limitations

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>of our man, our righteous man, our god fearing man,

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Joe Missoula. So what's going on in Boston? They are

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>five and five in the last ten. They have lost

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 2>ground so fast to the streaking, streaking nets Nets by

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the way, which we will talk about next episode, because

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have enough time.

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.959
<v Speaker 1>They have won ten in a row. These motherfuckers have

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>won ten in a row.

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 2>And you know who is not apparently not to be

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 2>praised for that Jacquevon, who all of a sudden takes

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>over for Steve Nash and they just start winning games.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I digress.

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Even ever since they blow out the Suns on December seventh,

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 2>who have their own problems, right, things have just been

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>really odd blowout losses to the Warriors, which you could

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>probably expect is the Warriors have their number, but then

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>they get blown out into the Clippers. They get blown out.

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 2>They lose to the Magic twice, no shade to the Magic.

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 2>They lose to the Nuggets, sandwich between a couple of

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 2>showings against the Bucks and the Rockets, just a very

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>see saw, very bad, very good team. So last night

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of a perfect example of this, so I wanted

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 2>to talk about it because the weirdness surrounding this team

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 2>goes everywhere.

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>So the Celtics are.

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Like currently trying to claw back at this point from

0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 2>a thirteen point hole against the Nuggets in Denver. They've

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>got six forty three left in the fourth. They're trying

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.079
<v Speaker 2>to figure it out. Time Lord Dunks try to get

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>some energy back into the team.

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>He hangs on the rim. No, no, don't do that,

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Rob Williams, don't do that.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he bends the rim to the point where

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 2>they had to spend forty.

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Minutes to fix it. I'm like, what's going on here?

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Why are they interviewing Timothy Moskov right now I'm switching

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.199
<v Speaker 2>to the game. I'm like, why is a Why is

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Timothy Mosgov being interviewed? Why are there multiple ladders on

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the court.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Why is there a random guy with a level?

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Why am I seeing zoomed in like level bubble like

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>it's just moving back and forth.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like fascinated. I don't even know why the forty.

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Minutes of this and you know what, they still didn't

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 2>even fix it. They had to bring a new rim out,

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 2>they had to bring a hand wrench out.

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Eyes are not lies. This is really what happened. I

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 1>watched it.

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>They had to find random people in the crowd to interview.

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>It's just like players trying to stand stay warm. They're

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 2>doing jumping jacks on the side, They're running back and forth.

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Jokic was doing wind sprints. First time I've ever seen

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Yokic sprint for no reason. So then they finally get

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the game back started up, and it goes from bad

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to worse, like Tatum didn't score another bucket, didn't score

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 2>another bucket what he had twenty five With six minutes

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and forty three seconds left, he finished with twenty five

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>rough rough for me. That was the last leg of

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>the parlay for me. I needed twenty six and a

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 2>half points for Tatum.

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets were up one ten ninety seven when that long

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>break happened. They cruised the rest of the way one

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty three to one eleven. But it was actually worse

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 2>than that because the Nuggets brought in their scrubs with

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 2>like two minutes left.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>The Celtics brought in their scrubs.

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Tatum only took two shots in the final six minutes

0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 2>and thirty seconds, and one was a twenty seven foot

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>like heave with guys draped around him, which was an

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>air ball.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't air ball.

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Brown after the game, as you might imagine, was pised.

0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>He and that was their rim. By the way, it

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 2>was their rim that it was bent, not the Nuggets rim.

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 2>They didn't get to switch through because it was only

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>six minutes left to go in the quarter. This is

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 2>why he had to say rim never got fixed.

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:31.840
<v Speaker 3>No, there was no communication.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Obviously the rim got I guess a little bit leveled

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 3>to the left or whatever, and they spent all that

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 3>time to trying to fix it, but when we came back,

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 3>it still looked like it wasn't even level in my opinion,

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 3>so it was like, you know, we just wasted all

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 3>that time. Has an effect on the game, that's how

0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 3>injuries and stuff happened, and luckily that didn't. But you know,

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 3>that was that wasn't good. The whole process was handled poorly,

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 3>probably in my opinion, in that you know, had an

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 3>effect on the game as well, but unluckily nobody got hurt.

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Handled poorly in my opinion, no communication, Tatum said, who's

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>a nicer guy? The delay was just weird. I've never

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>been through anything like that in my career. It wasn't

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 2>like they could tell us how long we were gonna

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 2>have to wait because they didn't know.

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you make of these strange things in Boston

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that are happening.

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, man, Like it could just be a

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 2>little mid season hiccup.

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Who knows, could be something indicative of something bigger.

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 2>When they lose, Boston loses big, like they did to

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the Magic. When they win, they tend to win big.

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>They play good defense, they're unstoppable offensively. We're gonna know more,

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I think probably in the next two to three weeks.

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>But remember Boston was five hundred at the All Star

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Break last year. So next two weeks they face the MAVs,

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the Nets, the Pelicans in a seven day stretch, So

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll have to keep it in our purview as so

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 2>they say things can get ugly fast. Also, there's rumors

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 2>coming out that the reason Missoula won't get the interim

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>tag lifted is because Boston's flirting with the idea of

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 2>bringing back email Udoka.

0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>You add that into the mix. Now the pressure cooker

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>is on for our god fearing, god loving Joe Mazuma
