1
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: What your sleeping position says about you. People who sleep

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 1: on my stomachs are gregarious yet brash. They do not

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: like to be criticized and generally avoid dangers. Their demeanor

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: is due to stress put on the lower back and

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: neck because they sleep incorrectly. The sleepy soldier is quiet, reserved,

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: focused and independent. You love structure. Take yourself too seriously.

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: The FTO position is the most popular of all positions.

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: You tend to be shy and sensitive. This position gives

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: you a sense of security, especially if you lack it

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: in your real life. Oh my, did the truth knife

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: just cut too deep?

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,400

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the blindfold, the challenge fun. I had not seen

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: it in my young Survivor career through this is my

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: third season. It was fun. You like it, people get injured.

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: I heard it's why I didn't do it. That's what

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: j D told me. On the side I got I

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: got an inside scoop from one of the hosts of.

43
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: Nobud Awesome, and before we get into all the NBA

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: action from last night, we got talking about that game,

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: and we got some news involving Curry, and we got

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: some Fun Awards. We're going to talk about our bracket

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: is busted. We finally get to say that.

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 6: I don't know that I've had a bracket busted harder

49
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 6: than it was busted yesterday.

50
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 7: Almost every upset pick we made was wrong.

51
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 6: I saw that we're tied for two hundred and forty

52
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 6: six of five hundred and ninety four and then Nous

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 6: Challenge right now, it's'll be worse. I think it's only

54
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 6: worse by like one game wrong. But yeah, we lost

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 6: two of our final four on day one.

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 7: Tough one. I can't believe.

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: I mean, this one's on me. I talked specifically you

58
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: out of Saint Peter's upsetting UK in the first round.

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: I did. I said, there's no way we're gonna get

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: Saint Mary's and Saint Peter's through on Saint Patrick's Day.

61
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry fifteen did it there.

62
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: I can't help those who don't want to be helped.

63
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: I know, I'm telling you, just you just got to

64
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: find the Australian connection there to Saint Mary's. We'll go

65
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: through Saint Pete's. I can't remember what the connection was there,

66
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 4: but let's just I think it was just like get

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: rid of UK. Yeah, that's what I said.

68
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: You know, you said that's rough. And then of course, yeah,

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: our Iowa Hawkeyes pick to win it all is gone

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: in the first round. That's tough, tough to bounce back.

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: It's tough, tough day.

72
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, Good luck to everybody still alive. Hope your bracket's

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: doing better than the no Dunks won. Okay, So, like

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: I said, lots of awards talk here on the drop,

75
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: both real awards or not doing MVP. We've done enough

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: of that, so we'll put that aside for a day.

77
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: But we'll talk Most Improved and Coaches the Year, Defensive

78
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Player of the Year, some of the other ones. And

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: then we got some like silly ones that we've made up,

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: Least improved, seventh Man of the Year, the most beautiful.

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: Shooter of the like that one.

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: Yes, you can get a start with that one, but

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: we got to at least touch on sidek BA scoring

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: a career high fifty one points in the only game

85
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: last night Pistons beat the Magic. This was the league's

86
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: eighth fifty point game in the month of March, most

87
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: in a calendar month. Over the last fifty seasons, there

88
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: have been seventeen fifty point games this season in total,

89
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: and Sidik Bay the thirteenth player to pull off the

90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: feet pretty impressive stuff Herely, I don't know how much

91
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: you caught of it.

92
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: Well, to be honest, Yeah, look, I wasn't sitting down

93
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: locked to the TV for this one.

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: Last night.

95
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: I took the night off. Bass. Well, it's not often

96
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: we get a night off during the season. I thought

97
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: last night, put the laptop down.

98
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: But then you see Twitter, this guy's got thirty at

99
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 2: a half.

100
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: I got to check it out.

101
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 4: And then and he went for the fifty and he

102
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: got it too, and the Lando Magic helped him out

103
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 4: by fouiling him, putting the free throw line rare, rare, yep.

104
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: But the ten threes, I think it was ironic. The

105
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 4: Terrence Ross was in the building because he had a

106
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: ten to three point fifty point performance for the Raptors

107
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 4: probably what a decade ago.

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit.

109
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, you know, on a night with his

110
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: crazy stuff. All the ye basketball focus is certainly on

111
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 4: the n C double A. You said they Bay you

112
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: guys an it gets fiftured. That's goodle bad. I mean,

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 4: I guess no one's really got their eyes on the NBA.

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: But then you get a fifty spot and people are like, oh,

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: that's pretty good.

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely fifty one points tied for the fifth most in

117
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: franchise history. Piston's records still fifty seven by Jerry Stackhos

118
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: in two thousand and one, though I was a little

119
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: taken aback that he hit ten threes, like you said,

120
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: tied the franchise record with Joe Dumars.

121
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 7: Really, it's insane, it's weird.

122
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: I could have sworn I saw that. Somebody fact checked

123
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: me in the stream team right now, But I was like,

124
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: Joe Dumar's had a gamery attending. I'm not saying Joe

125
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Junan was a bad no, no, no, you know shooter,

126
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: but a lot of threes nineties. That's a ton of

127
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: threes if that is indeed true, or maybe I'm just

128
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: making it up, but yeah, yeah, anything to add to

129
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: the Babay.

130
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, those numbers. When you look back at nineties players,

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: you just don't expect double digit threes. Alan Houston was

132
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: there for a few years in Detroit. I thought when

133
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: we talked about three point leers with Detroit, Alan Houston

134
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: was up there. But Sidik Bay, we are getting to

135
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: the Beautiful Shooter of the Basketball Award later in the season,

136
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: Sadiq Bay Fantastic shoot of the Basketball. And I think

137
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: when we're talking about future Piston or the future of

138
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: the Pistons, Kate Cunningham always comes up first, and then

139
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: there's talk about Killian Hayes. Can he be something? Isaiah Stewart,

140
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: can he be something? I think Sadik Bay is the

141
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: the lock at number two to be around the league

142
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: for a very long time because he can shoot, and

143
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: he's a lot bigger than what you think he is,

144
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: and at a wing spot. He's also got the attitude.

145
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 3: He said that he dyes his hair green, a little

146
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: patch green because of the joker weird.

147
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't tell if he was kidding.

148
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

149
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 4: Think he likes to play the villain, he said. Joe

150
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: Dumas did hit ten threes in the game.

151
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: That's insane.

152
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 4: On November eight, nineteen ninety four, he had forty points.

153
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 4: He went ten for nineteen from the field, ten for

154
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: eighteen from three, and ten for ten from the free

155
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 4: thread line. So no. Two point is for nineteen nineties

156
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 4: Joe Dumas weird?

157
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 7: Is that a short line season? If it was nineteen

158
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 7: ninety four.

159
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: I think it was one.

160
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, crazy interesting. A few other notes from

161
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: this game. The lost dropped Orlando into a tie with

162
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: Houston for the worst record in the league. I did

163
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: the little simulation, my first one on Tankathon this morning,

164
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: to see how the ping pong balls would fall had

165
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: the Blazers winning the number one pick. Yeah, jump in

166
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: six spots. So there you go are Portland Trailblazers fans.

167
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: That was my first sim there on Tankthon. But yes,

168
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: Orlando tied with Houston. Marvin Bagley the third another good

169
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: game for Detroit. There was no defense being played, so

170
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: let's make that very clear here, and that's not to

171
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: take anything away from a guy going for fifty plus,

172
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: but this was the Pistons magic with a bunch of

173
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: guys missing on both sides of the of the floor.

174
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Not a lot of defense being played. But Bagley had

175
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: twenty and eleven. He's averaging sixteen and nine over the

176
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: last seven games. Trey, aren't you happy we didn't give

177
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: up on him?

178
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 7: I love it.

179
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: We were always in his corner because of the eye patch.

180
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 7: Exactly right.

181
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 6: I'll back the bag Man for the rest of his career,

182
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 6: and it's good to see him actually shown out for

183
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 6: the Pistons here.

184
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 7: He's been playing pretty well.

185
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously the Pistons really aren't playing for much

186
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 6: right now, but the games still matter, even if this

187
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 6: is one of the funniest fifty point games of all time. Like,

188
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly where you rank it on the

189
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 6: Delk list. I thought people were saying last night, less

190
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: surprising than Tony Delk, more surprising than Corey Brewer. I

191
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 6: don't know exactly what that means. But my favorite moment

192
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 6: was at the end of the second quarter. Sadiq Bay

193
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: hits a three. He gets a steal on the inbound pass.

194
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 6: This is it to Corey Joseph. And as he's like

195
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 6: running back to catch a pass from Joseph, you hear

196
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 6: the announcers, Yeah.

197
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 7: He can't do this, he catches it.

198
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 6: It's kind of like, you know, like a semi Rudy Fernandez,

199
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 6: if you will. Rudy Fernandez had the three the steel

200
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: and then he hit a three right away, had a

201
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 6: dish in between to Corey Joseph.

202
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 7: So I like the change up there. So yeah, I

203
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 7: don't know. We always say the worst time to have.

204
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 6: A good game is on a Friday night, Yeah right, Yeah,

205
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 6: maybe the first time to have a good game is

206
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 6: actually on the first day at the NCAA tournament.

207
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 2: It's tough, yeah, but he's still leading the show and

208
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: he's getting some headlines.

209
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 7: I got a show today.

210
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right.

211
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 4: We got Schumann. Well actually too in the stream.

212
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: Called John it loves a twenty fo Shuman too. Yeah,

213
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: exactly right, thanks, thanks, good stuff.

214
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 6: What a conference, John Schuman, Joe Dumars, Joe Schumars, similar players,

215
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 6: and you're.

216
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: Saying, like people are trying to figure out, like how

217
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: surprising this fifty point game was in comparison, I guess,

218
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: like to Delks and Corey Brewers, I think those are

219
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: way more surprising than than Honestly, Sidik Bay going for

220
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: fifty again. First off, everybody's going for fifty right now, right.

221
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: He is young, He has like a thirty four point

222
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: game under his belt or something like that. Like he's

223
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: you know, obviously can hit the three. So if you

224
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 2: catch fire getting a lot of points, I think those

225
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: other ones are doped. Even here's my point side. Bay

226
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: is going to have another fifty point game his career,

227
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: probably two three maybe.

228
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 7: I'll take the under. I think he will have no

229
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 7: more fifty point games.

230
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll take that betmore.

231
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 6: I'll bet him fifty bucks that he doesn't have another

232
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 6: fifty point game in his career.

233
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: This could be it's a good one.

234
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 7: Take yeah, that's a great one. That's an easy fifty.

235
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 4: No way, come on, ye take you bet? Maybe maybe

236
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: long Oh yeah, this one could go for Chris is

237
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: gonna love it.

238
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 7: He's gonna be on your side. He's this year at least.

239
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: I mean I'm betting on another. Yeah, he has another

240
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: game where he hits ten to thirteen three, so it's

241
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: gonna help his chance.

242
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: He's in the East, will play Orlando maybe four times

243
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: a year.

244
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: So all right, I like that one. That's a good one.

245
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Somebody write that down, put that in our Google calendar.

246
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 7: Yeah.

247
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 6: Well he at least beat Tim Hardaway Junior. So I'm

248
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 6: feeling pretty good.

249
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 4: Right.

250
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a good point. Any other notes here on

251
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,479
Speaker 2: Cidique bageling for fifty.

252
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: One, No, Corey Brewer comes up. Yeah, when we talk

253
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 3: fifty point games and this time of year during n

254
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: C double A recaps a lot of Gator talk out

255
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: Oh yes, seeing him joking Noah and Al Horford clips

256
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: that's a nice flashback. I love that team.

257
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: Steph Curry guys out indefinitely after suffering a sprained ligament

258
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: in his left foot. Now Cham's with the athletic he

259
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: was reporting that that is the diagnosis. X rays do

260
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: on the foot returned negative on Wednesday night, meaning no fracture,

261
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: no major damage. But again the word is he's out indefinitely.

262
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: The Woes and Ramona Shelbourne they're saying he is expected

263
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 2: to return for the start of the Western Conference playoffs,

264
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: but we'll undergo further evaluation with specialists here. So uh,

265
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 2: it's I guess worse than we thought it was, tess

266
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: because we were hoping this was a little bit of

267
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: nothing with Smart falling on in there the other night.

268
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the word is indefinite, so who the heck knows.

269
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: We definitely don't know what indefinite means, but at this point, yeah,

270
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 3: I sort of lean towards this is bad news in

271
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: that X rays negative, obviously, but this team relies so

272
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: much on flow and playing together, and they played so

273
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: many lineups. I think, like, unlike what's happening in Atlanta,

274
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: John Collins is in sat because he's got an ailing planner,

275
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: fashion problem, and a finger problem, and they know that

276
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: they're in the playing tournament, done, done and done. They're

277
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: not getting any better. Well, the Warriors want to get better,

278
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 3: they want to get in a flow. So this stinks

279
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: for them. The closer it gets to him coming back

280
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 3: to the playoffs, I think it lessens their chances, you know,

281
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: come first. If they get to the second round, I

282
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: think this hurts them. This is a guy who's you

283
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: know again, they're they're like throwing different guys into the rotation.

284
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: So I think Steph wants as many reps as possible.

285
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 3: Like let's say he comes back and it's round one,

286
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: game one, I wouldn't project them to be an NBA

287
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: finalist win. If he continued to play right now and

288
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: got these dozen games that they have left in the

289
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: regular season, I think I would. So this hurts The

290
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: more games he misses, the more it hurts their team.

291
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: This could change, you know, the balance of a title

292
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: contender of course, or a championiship.

293
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think it was twenty sixteen, wasn't

294
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: it seventy three nine? To getting injured in that first

295
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: game the Rockets and that kind of carried through the playoffs,

296
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 4: you know. I mean, they still could have won the championship,

297
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 4: should have won the championship, but an injury can just

298
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 4: sort of interrupt your momentum and your routine and your preparation.

299
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: Draymond's just come back, Clay's just come back. And Clay,

300
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: as we're seeing, he's still trying to find his groove

301
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: again now he missed obviously two and a half years.

302
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 4: Steph may only miss a couple of weeks hopefully, But

303
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 4: the Warriors just want to get into the playoffs and

304
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: want everybody healthy because one of him, or Draymond or

305
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: Clay to a lesser degree, I think, all of a sudden,

306
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 4: their playoff expectations or the championship hopes, I think go

307
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 4: from here to sort of like they might not get

308
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 4: out of the second round. If they don't have all

309
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 4: three of those guys healthy.

310
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: They may not get out of the first round, possibly

311
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: Steph Curry because we just talked about how talented those

312
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: teams at four or five, six, and seven yes are

313
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: you know, in the Jazz and the MAVs and the

314
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: Nuggets and the Walls and stuff like that, Like that's

315
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: who they're gonna be playing one of those teams. Good teams. Absolutely,

316
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: If you don't have Steph Curry on your squad, I mean,

317
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: your chances of even getting out of that round could

318
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: be difficult trait.

319
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess the silver lining for the Warriors is

320
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 6: they've got a decently easy schedule for the rest of

321
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 6: the season. I think Tankathon has them at the nineteenth

322
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 6: East schedule. Remaining big question for me is can he

323
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 6: be back in time for March twenty eighth versus Memphis

324
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 6: Grizzlies that could really determine the second seed in the

325
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 6: Western Conference. You would much rather play the timber Wolves

326
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 6: or maybe the Clippers. I think then you would A

327
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 6: Nuggets team that has Yokichu is a great playoff performer,

328
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 6: and they might be getting healthy guys back to in

329
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 6: Michael Porter junior Jamal Murray.

330
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 7: We shall see.

331
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 6: But Lee, you nailed it, Draymond said. Every time we

332
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 6: get somebody back, somebody else goes out. Clay came back,

333
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 6: Draymond had to play one second of that game. Take

334
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 6: a fall, right, Draymond comes back. Now Steph is out.

335
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 6: They've played eleven minutes together in three seasons. Their chemistry

336
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 6: is no problem. Yeah, that's fine, but there's a lot

337
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 6: of new pieces around for the Warriors that need to

338
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 6: learn to play alongside those guys if they're gonna make

339
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 6: some noise in the playoffs. So pretty bad timing for

340
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 6: this injury. I think they'll be fine, Like seeding wise,

341
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 6: it doesn't seem likely they'll drop lower than third. But man,

342
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 6: you would really like to be ironing out your lineups

343
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: here because they've looked pretty good recently playing like Steph

344
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 6: clay Pool, Draymond and another guy. But now they got

345
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 6: to figure out who the other guy is and if

346
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 6: they're going to have stuff back.

347
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some awards again. No MVP

348
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: on this one. We've done it every second day for

349
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: the last I don't know, four or five months on

350
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: this show, so let's talk about some of the other ones.

351
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: I also don't think we really need to do sixth

352
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: Man of the Year because I can't see anybody saying

353
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: any other player besides Tyler Hero is that fair. I

354
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: don't want to put words in anybody else's mouth, but

355
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: six Man of the Year is locked up. We'll get

356
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: to seventh Man of the Year later in this yeh, yes,

357
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: So let's start with most improved though, Lee, do you

358
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: have a little ballot? What are you doing here?

359
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: Yes? Look I tried to. I tried to sort of

360
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: make something interesting about this, but I really couldn't get there.

361
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: Because it's Ja Morant's award to win. Maybe Tyler Hero

362
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: can come in and steal it. If you sort of

363
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: think Jar's too good for this award, he shouldn't like

364
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: based on how this award is handled out, it should

365
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: go to jarm Rant because he's improved to the point

366
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: where he's in the MVP conversation. So we're not talking

367
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: about that right now. But look, the points are up

368
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: to twenty seven and a half a game. The field

369
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 4: goal percentage, which is really nice here, forty nine percent

370
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 4: on twenty attempts a game. The three point percentage has increased.

371
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: It's thirty four percent. You'd like to see that get

372
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 4: over thirty five for job, but that's fine. We can

373
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: live with that for now. He's young. Seventy six percent

374
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: from the free throw line, and he gets to the

375
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: free throw line over seven times a game. I think

376
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: that's really really important for a young guy. He lives

377
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: in the paint and he's increasing that each season. So

378
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: he's not settling for jumpshots. He's still going inside and attacking.

379
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: His assists actually a little bit down this year based

380
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: on where he was last couple of seasons, but that's

381
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: fine because he's had such a bigger impact there and

382
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: the defense has improved, and the Grizzlies have obviously far

383
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: outplayed expectations to this point. They will very likely have

384
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 4: second seed in the Western Conference going into the playoffs,

385
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: so that's when they're going to be really tested. Can

386
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 4: you live up to that hype of being a number

387
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: two seat? We'll find out, But really it's Jars Award

388
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 4: and the Memphis Grizzlies. I think it maybe even round

389
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: out the ballot here because Desmond band has been incredible

390
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 4: this season, almost doubled his scoring average, and you just

391
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: see the impact he's had out there on the court.

392
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: And Jaron Jackson Jr. His numbers haven't really changed all

393
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 4: that much, but I think he's in a real chance

394
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 4: to win well, certainly be on the All defensive team.

395
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: He may win Defensive Player of the Year, maybe not,

396
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: but his impact and just his the eye test tells

397
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 4: you Jaron Jackson's healthy, he's out on the court, he

398
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 4: is really impacting this team on both ends of the floor.

399
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: They do have now that young corps that was like,

400
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: can these two guys work together? Is this the future?

401
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 4: I think the answer is absolutely emphatically yes right now.

402
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 4: So for me the Memphis Grizzlies, it's gonna be Jar Morant.

403
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 4: The other guy's going to get some love there, But

404
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 4: I think outside that it probably is Tyler Heroes. I

405
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: don't know if a guy could win two awards in

406
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 4: one season, maybe he could, but Tyler hero has been

407
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 4: incredible the leap that he's made, I think for the

408
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: Miami Heat, so it's Jar Moran's award and after that,

409
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: I don't really think anyone can can take it off him.

410
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so you see it continuing this trend and most

411
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: improve like a young guy in his twenties or mid

412
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: twenties that went to the next level and that level

413
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: generally being an All Star and then in Jazz case

414
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: even like an MVP.

415
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: All NBA for sure. Yeah for JA. So yeah, he's

416
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: ticking all the boxes. And basically, I mean, know this

417
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: is your favorite part. The minutes are identical to what

418
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: they've beene, so it's not like all of a sudden

419
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 4: he's getting thirty eight minutes a game from twenty four.

420
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: He's thirty three this season. He was thirty two and

421
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: a half last season.

422
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, our last five MIP winners Julius Randall last year,

423
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: Brandon Ingram the year before that, Pascal Siakam, Victor Oladipo,

424
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: and Giannis. Do you agree with the John Moran pick?

425
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it rings out a lot like Jannistetokumpo because he's

426
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: in the MVP conversation, but he's not gonna win MVP.

427
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: So I think voters are gonna really enjoy ticking him

428
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: as number one and the most improved player, give him something.

429
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: He has been so good, most exciting player, if that

430
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 3: was an award, Yes, so I think voters would be

431
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: very pumped. And he just he does laps sort of

432
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: around the field in terms of most improved. Miles Bridges

433
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 3: is there, Darius Garland is there. You know, cute picks,

434
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: nice picks, but they ain't John Moran. So it's it's

435
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 3: tough to get away from that. It's tough to get

436
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: away from what John Morant, especially on the you know,

437
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: part of it is the shock level, the surprise level

438
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: that he's gotten to this point. We did not expect this.

439
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: Nobody expected a superstar Jahn morant here and those other guys,

440
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: as I said, Miles Bridges, Darius Carlin, no one expected

441
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 3: them either. But it's just it's such a large leap,

442
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 3: it's gotta be him.

443
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 2: Try What do you think?

444
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think John Moran is gonna win this for sure,

445
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 6: because he's not gonna win in the MVP, so this

446
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 6: is kind of like a junior MVP, and I think

447
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 6: he's a fun pick and a good pick. Though I

448
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 6: will say Jaw at this stage in his career, I'm

449
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 6: putting them the head of Giannis wh Yannis won MIP

450
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen. Yannis did become an All Star the

451
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 6: first time that season. But I don't know Jaw is

452
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 6: gonna finish in the top five in the MVP voting.

453
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 6: It certainly feels like or at least very very close.

454
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think that he is the guy. I

455
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 6: think Darius Garland is probably number two. It's the same

456
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 6: case as John Moran. They're even in the same draft,

457
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 6: so I think that's kind of funny. And then after that,

458
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly who you go for a number three.

459
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 6: Either of the other Grizzlies is good, Bayner Jackson, Miles

460
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 6: Bridges in the mix. Robert Williams, I think is a

461
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 6: pretty solid case as well. He's been able to stay

462
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 6: on the court, not just fouling all the time, and

463
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 6: him being unleashed defensively is really what turned the Celtic

464
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 6: season around. And I would like to make a dumb

465
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 6: case if you guys are interested, Sure for Spencer Dinwitty

466
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 6: oh whoa mid season ip the guys scoring five points

467
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 6: per game more since going to the Dallas Mavericks, hitting

468
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 6: game winners every single night. And he looked terrible in Washington,

469
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 6: like he looked almost like the problem in Washington. He

470
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 6: gets to Dallas and now he looks like the complete

471
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 6: answer there. So I don't think he'll get a single

472
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 6: vote unless they gave us a vote.

473
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 7: I'll slide under that.

474
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So yeah, sounds like everybody agreeing. John

475
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: Moran's gonna run away with this. I know we talked

476
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: about before. Vegas has him has the odds on favorite

477
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: to win MIP. But let's hear from everybody in the

478
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 2: stream team or listening later, watching later, Let's hear all

479
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: your picks when it comes to these awards. Okay, next

480
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: one Rookie of the Year tasks. Really, what we're getting

481
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: at is, how are you ranking one, two, three between Mobley,

482
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: Cade and Barnes.

483
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I got the hots for Evan Mobley, and

484
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: I think part of it is I'm going to the

485
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: end of the floor. Nobody wants to talk about No

486
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: one plays defense in this rookie class like Evan Mobley,

487
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 3: because you can look at Kate and say he could

488
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 3: be the best offensive player of the bunch, but by

489
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: far and away, Evan Mobley is a special defensive talent

490
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: at seven feet guarding everywhere. A small, small, small chance

491
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: that he could make an All Defense team would be

492
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: the first rook since Tim Duncan. Now he is worthy

493
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: of that. He probably won't get there because rookies just

494
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 3: don't do that kind of thing, but he is so

495
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 3: so polished at that end, and it sounds like I'm

496
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 3: making a case that the other guys, especially Kate Cunningham,

497
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: is better offensively. Kate will probably be the better long

498
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: term offensive player, but Evan Mobley is right up there

499
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: when it comes to true shooting percentage, but takes into

500
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 3: account twos threes and free throws. Basically they have the

501
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: exact same percentages. And I think he's a lot more

502
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: polish than people think or people know about, because he's

503
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: getting a lot of defensive highlights, so he's been going

504
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: all season and I think that, you know, gets him

505
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: up a little bit more, gets him more votes than Kid,

506
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: and maybe Kid and Barnes take away some votes from

507
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: each other because it just feels like Mobley is the

508
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: unanimous number one and that's that's who I feel like

509
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: will be the number one pick for everybody when all

510
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden done. He's just he's been a little

511
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: bit more polished and Caid's start hurt him, and yeah,

512
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: I think I think the consensus is he's been so

513
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: so good. He hasn't fallen off at all, and it's

514
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: cool to see that a guy like Franz Wagner I

515
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: think will finish number four in this race. Because we're

516
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: watching NCUBLEA. There's tweet a night later on talking about

517
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 3: Franz Wagner and how he had a poor showing in

518
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: the tournament. To finish the tournament, didn't look like a shooter.

519
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: This dude who was drafted eight should finish top four

520
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 3: and Jalen Green has really turned it on the last

521
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: six weeks or so, shooting really really well. So that's

522
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: my top five. It's Mobile Barnes Kid, but you know

523
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 3: I'm a Barnes backer, so I guess I'll put him too.

524
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 3: But I got no problem putting Kid too. And then

525
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: Franz and Jel and Green are my top five.

526
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 2: We fell in love with this draft class didn't take

527
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: long because there's also I mean, Giddy has played well,

528
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 2: Herb Jones has played well. You know, Bones has had

529
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 2: his moments. Inger's had his moments, Shan Gun. You know,

530
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot of obviously talented Rocks here. But do

531
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: you agree with Mobley being the Rookie of the Year for.

532
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: I think so, yeah, I think so it's been it

533
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 4: has been a good race. I think Scotty, Barnes and

534
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: Kate do have solid cases. But I think overall, from

535
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: start of the season to where we are now, Evan

536
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: Mobley deserves the award. He's putting up great numbers. He's

537
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 4: shooting fifty percent now, most of his shots come close

538
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: to the hoop. Kay Cunningham's kind of playing from behind

539
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: because he got off to a slow start and he's

540
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 4: not shooting as well. He's going to be an awesome player.

541
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 4: I have no doubt long term, Kay Cunningham is going

542
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 4: to be a multiple time All Star. I think he's

543
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 4: got that talent. But I think for this award, for

544
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: how it's handed out, I think it belongs to Mobiley

545
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 4: and then I think Scotty Barnes is probably not too

546
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 4: far behind him there. I mean defensively, Scotty Barnes has

547
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: been really really good, Like he gets out and gets after.

548
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: For a big, long athletic guy, he can cover a

549
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 4: lot of ground there. And his numbers like fifteen points

550
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: on forty nine percent shooting, adding eight rebounds a game.

551
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: I mean, and people didn't think he could score yeah,

552
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 2: like at this level. I mean that was the knock

553
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: against Ya.

554
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 4: So it's one of the strongest and deepest classes I

555
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 4: can sort of think of off the top of my

556
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 4: head right now. And all of these guys have a

557
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 4: case to be made. But I think at the end

558
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 4: of the day, you probably have to give Mobile.

559
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: You pick what happens if the Raptors leap rug the

560
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: Cavs in the standings, you know, could that help Barnes's

561
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: case to win this sortver Mobilly or are You're at

562
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 2: the point where, Yeah, I don't care that much it's

563
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: going to be a one or two game.

564
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I personally don't care. And usually when it comes

565
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 4: to rookies, win loss percentage has no impact because like, hey,

566
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 4: this guy is just putting up big numbers. That's what

567
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: could help a Jalen Green's case. But when you've got

568
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 4: guys on winning teams, it's like, okay, and you need

569
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 4: to find a separator. But if it's a game or two,

570
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: I don't think that's going to change it.

571
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think could you got for our away?

572
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 6: I think Mobile is the guy, but I think Barnes

573
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 6: should have finish closer than he probably will. It kind

574
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 6: of feels to me like Mobi won this award the

575
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 6: first month of the season and we've stuck with it

576
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 6: ever since because he hasn't really fallen off. That's definitely true,

577
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 6: and the Cabs have maintained their record for the most part,

578
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 6: though they haven't been quite as good in the second

579
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 6: half of the season. But Barnes has been incredible since

580
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 6: the All Star break eighteen and eight. He scores more

581
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 6: than Evan Mobley does. Mobley is first in rebounding amongst rookies.

582
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 6: Barnes is third, also fourth and assists. He's just as

583
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 6: good of a defender as Evan Mobley, just in a

584
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 6: different ways. First and win shares first in VOP. I

585
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 6: didn't do the calculations myself, but I read them nice,

586
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 6: So I think he should take quite a few votes

587
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: off of Evan Mobley. Actually, it's just he's doing it

588
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 6: a little bit more under the radar than Mobley because

589
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 6: Mobley has been the guy since the first couple of

590
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 6: weeks of the season.

591
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny because on one hand, we sometimes talk

592
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: about like timing is everything with these awards, so like

593
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: if you do it after the All Star break, as

594
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: if you do it as we start to wrap up

595
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: the season, well that's fresh in people's minds, so they're like, oh,

596
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: maybe allien towards that guy. But you're also right, Trey,

597
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: where sometimes a guy comes out of the gates on fire,

598
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: plants his flag in whatever particular race, and then it's

599
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: tough to knock the person off. And I think that

600
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: sort of has happened here in Mobile's case, and it's

601
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: not like he's played bad one hundred percent agree with you,

602
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 2: he just sort of he's just been steady, and I

603
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be that type of player here. I

604
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: guess here's a tough question, but who will have the

605
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: better career of these three?

606
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 4: Like?

607
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: Is it do you have like Caden Barnes doing bigger

608
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: and better things than Mobiley who might be like a

609
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: rock defensively, might be very solid for as long for

610
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 2: a long time in this league. But those guys could

611
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: have higher highs or is it or maybe I'm way off.

612
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: Basically, I mean, it's a little hard to obviously project that.

613
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 4: But I love the way Kate Cunningham plays with the ball.

614
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 4: I love his control already, his maturity, he's shown so far,

615
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 4: his ability to sort of get to his shot. He's

616
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 4: got great ball handley skills. I think he's got very

617
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: good IQ. He just needs some better players around him,

618
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 4: just really see to see if he can elevated him.

619
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: I've made the Damian Litley comparison. I don't think it's

620
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 4: far off. I think that's where he could be. The

621
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: other guys could also be incredible.

622
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: But if I like, are these three guys like ten

623
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: time All Stars that we're looking at here?

624
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I could pick, though I would probably pick

625
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 4: Conningham as my choice to stop a franchise with.

626
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: I think Mobile is the most polished defensively, and I

627
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: think even offensively, I think he's better than Barnes. And yeah,

628
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: Kate is the leader of the clubhouse in terms of offense.

629
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think at this point for a big

630
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: to be competent offensively, to have it back to the

631
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: basket game, to have a face up game, to shoot

632
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: the three a little bit, to be able to put

633
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: it on the floor. You know, usually a guard is

634
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: about far and away better offensively, and so for him

635
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: to be at this level already, yeah, I think he

636
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: should be a multiple time All.

637
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: Star Defensive Player of the Year. I'll start us off

638
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: with this one. Here's the thing. Two of the best

639
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: defenders in the league. They've missed too many games. Draymond Green,

640
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 2: he's only played in thirty six games. So even if

641
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: he plays in what do you say they have a

642
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: dozen left? You're sub fiftieth not enough. And then Bam

643
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: is pretty similar to there and the Heat. Awesome defender.

644
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: I love him what he does on that for the

645
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: Miami Heat, but he's played in just forty five and

646
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: I just you know, even again, if he plays the

647
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 2: rest of the games out, it's just not enough when

648
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: you have a bunch of other guys that have played

649
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: phenomenal basketball and that end of the floor. Here's my

650
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: other rule when it comes to Defensive Player of the Year.

651
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys agree or not. If

652
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: your team is not a top ten like defensive unit,

653
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: I think your chances of winning this are really really

654
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: difficult because I almost I sometimes look at the Defensive

655
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: Player of the Year almost like a team award like,

656
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 2: but it's like you were the anchor, you were the rock,

657
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: You're the real reason that team is an elite defense. Again,

658
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 2: that's just sort of way I come about it. Now,

659
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 2: if you implement this arbitrary rule, then that means you're

660
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: taking out Rudy Gobert and Giannis, who I think a

661
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: lot of people will have in the running for this award.

662
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: Jazz rank eleventh overall in defense. But it's no fault

663
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: to Rudi's And in fact, if anything, when he was out,

664
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: you saw what happened to the Jazz defense. He missed

665
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: those like stretches there. They were big chunks there, and

666
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: they were like one of the worst teams defensively league.

667
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: He obviously has an impact the DUH because he's a

668
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: three ten Defensive Player of the Year and the Bucks

669
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: sit fourteenth in defensive ratings, so that they're middle of

670
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: the pack. Again, that's not because he's honest. And if anything,

671
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: there's no Brook Lopez this entire year. He's just come back,

672
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: and Giannis was asked to play really at a position.

673
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: I guess he's probably the five. He's asked to do

674
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: more than he even did before. So but that all said,

675
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: it's like, I think there are other guys on elite

676
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: defenses that I think we'll get it above those guys.

677
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: So I have Mikhale Bridges. I don't think he's gonna

678
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: win it, but he's gonna deserve a lot of consideration.

679
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: And Marcus Smart in looking at what the Celtics are doing,

680
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: you brought up Robert Williams Trey how great he's been.

681
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree. We talked about Al Horford. It

682
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: feels like, oh, the last couple weeks like a lot

683
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: and what he does. But Marcus Smart is basically the

684
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: miniature Draymond Green in my opinion, like he's he's directing

685
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: traffic he's calling all the plays where we're switching. He

686
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: can switch on to anybody. He's six three, but it

687
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, Like you feel comfortable when like a seven

688
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: foot really gets matched up on Marcus. You're like, here's fine,

689
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: he's strong enough, he's smart enough, he'll flop, he'll go

690
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: them into something. And then he's all over the place

691
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: when it comes to deflections and steals like you're combining them.

692
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: He's top ten. So I know we haven't had a

693
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 2: god win this defense player of the ear since like

694
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: Peyton in the mid nineties, right, but I think it

695
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 2: might be in place. So I guess I have Marcus

696
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: Smart at the top because of the Celtics defense is

697
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: the best in the league. Sound a number two and

698
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: you can make a case from a cal Bridges, but

699
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 2: what do you think?

700
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is another one of those awards,

701
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 4: like how do you feel about a guy like a

702
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 4: guy just gets out there and hustles and goes after it,

703
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: or a guy like Rudy who just tends to be

704
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 4: the backbone of a very solid defensive team. And Yannis

705
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 4: to me has taken a bit of a Lebron Calves approach,

706
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: Like I don't have to slug my guts out on

707
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 4: the defensive end when it comes to playoff time. You

708
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 4: know the Bucks and they give up a lot of threes.

709
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 4: That's just the way that Budenholzer likes the place. But

710
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 4: as a defender, Yannas we saw the biggest player of

711
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: the season maybe last season. He blocks that thing. So

712
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 4: like his defensive awareness and he gets he usually gets

713
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 4: dunked on a few times because he's contested, is not

714
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 4: afraid to do it. I love that about a defensive player.

715
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: He Look, if you're asking me like you're playing a

716
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: game of twenty one, or like you need one stop,

717
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: who's the guy you're picking on? Anybody? Yiannis is going

718
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: to be probably at the top exactly. Yeah, But this is,

719
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously different, and so I'm probably.

720
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 4: Leaning towards going back to the Grizzlies, who lead the

721
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 4: league in defensive rebounds, yep, blocks and steals. I think

722
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 4: those are the big three things, and I think Jaron

723
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 4: Jackson is the is.

724
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 5: The anchor of that and have him on my short list.

725
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, those other guys have solid cases. I don't think

726
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 4: there is a clear cut sort of dominant force like

727
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: we've had sometimes where it's like Rudy's award to lose.

728
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to get it this year.

729
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: Maybe a bit of fatigue, maybe a bit of like now,

730
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: the Jazz haven't been as locked down as they have

731
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: been in the past. So I'm going to go with

732
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 4: what I've seen from the eye test and Jaron Jackson

733
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: leading the league in blocks, and that that Memphis defense

734
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: has just locked in from where it was the worst

735
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 4: in the league. I think their defensive rating, as NBA

736
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 4: dot Com has it, today's eighth in the league, which

737
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: is an incredible improvement over the course of one season.

738
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Okay, triple J for Lee, I'm going smote Trey where

739
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: you're leaning with dep I.

740
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 6: Think I'm leaning Yannis to be quite honest. Hey, to me,

741
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 6: he's still he's the most versatile defender in the league,

742
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 6: considering Draymond's missed thirty four games. He's the guy I

743
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 6: would want if I like you're saying, if you're playing

744
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 6: twenty one one guy who could guard anybody, it's gonna

745
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 6: be Yannest. Rudy Gobert probably my number two. Jazz are

746
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 6: up to number nine defensively, and they're a top five defense.

747
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: When he plays he's still great. And then either of

748
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 6: the Celtics. I think they probably end up splitting some

749
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 6: of these votes here it seems like Robert Williams is

750
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 6: trying to get Marcus Smart to win it. Marcus Smart's

751
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 6: trying to get Robert Williams to win it. That's nice,

752
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 6: but it can really hurt your votes if people are

753
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 6: actually listening to what you're saying. So give me Yannis

754
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 6: Rudy than a Celtic.

755
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yannis, I don't think wins it this year, just

756
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: because the Bucks are such a middle of the pack

757
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: team defensively. It's just it's just hard to give it

758
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 3: to him. I think they from the fact that they've

759
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: dropped off so much. And yeah, this could be that

760
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: year that a wing gets it because the Draymond effect

761
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 3: is just he just hasn't played enough. The Jazz have

762
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: obviously dropped off being eleventh, and that's why, you know,

763
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 3: this is my one of my least favorite words. I know,

764
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: I didn't have it in the rundown. Yes, and Skeet said,

765
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,239
Speaker 3: I'm including this thing.

766
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean, why now the time to talk about it?

767
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I'm not I don't have the hots

768
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: for this award. That's why it's such a team a

769
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 3: team achievement.

770
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: Really, we do agree with sort of my again arbitrary

771
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: sort of rule usually like you gotta be one of

772
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: the better teams defensively.

773
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: Yes, And that's why it's so difficult to just isolate

774
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 3: one guy. I mean, the first thing that I look

775
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: at is most definitely the team achievement, the team ranking.

776
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: And so yeah, the thing is it's Boston, Phoenix, Golden State, Cleveland,

777
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: and Miami as your top five. Yeah, but a couple

778
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: of those teams missing key guys for a long, long,

779
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: long stretches. I mean, Bam wants to be part of

780
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: this conversation as well. He is a guy that is

781
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: Yannis like in his ability to cover every single part

782
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 3: of the floor, including the rim, and so that that's

783
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 3: usually where I go. Is a guy who can cover

784
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: every single part of the floor and the rim. And

785
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, Marcus Smart and Al Horford and mckelbridges don't

786
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 3: really cut that. But either way, uh, good luck to

787
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: the voters. It's not it's not fun. It's not a

788
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 3: fun one. I don't I don't.

789
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't love this one, okay, and I want to

790
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: point out because I know Trey said the Jazz were

791
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 2: ninth in defensive rating. I said eleventh in defensive rating.

792
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: Depends where you go to get your numbers. Basketball Reference

793
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: has the Jazz ninth. NBA dot Com slash Stats aka

794
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: the Schumann Stats have the Jazz at eleventh, and so

795
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: they there's like a little bit of difference how they calculate.

796
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: And the Grizzlies are at seventh. Se It's okay, your

797
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: favorite site changes.

798
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: But I think we've named all the players that are

799
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: in the running here. I guess in Beid, does anybody

800
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: want to include him? I feel like he's just like

801
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 2: had such a I mean, he's an awesome defender. Still, yeah,

802
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: no he is, but you know he's just taken to

803
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 2: another level on the offensive end. So I don't think

804
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: he's gonna get a ton of these. But Joannis Rudy,

805
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: of course, is always in the running. Maybe you're like,

806
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: I don't care how many games Draymond Green or Bam

807
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: Hedebaio's played. They're both awesome defenders.

808
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 4: All though.

809
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: Celtics, like we said, I'm led by Smart and then

810
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: mckail Bridges and Jaron Jackson Junior. I think those are

811
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: those are all the names you gotta name?

812
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 5: There?

813
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: Anybody else? You'veventually got me.

814
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 6: Thinking that maybe Draymond will finish higher than we're anticipating,

815
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 6: because he's probably still been the best defender that's played

816
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 6: this season. It was just out for such a long time,

817
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: but he was so good defensively that the Warriors like

818
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 6: maintained a top five defense because they were so far

819
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 6: ahead of the pack when he went out. So I

820
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 6: don't know, it's it's gonna be tough for him to

821
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 6: win it having played basically half the games.

822
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 7: But he's still good.

823
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 2: He's very good.

824
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 7: Guy, still got it.

825
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: He's very very good. Okay, final one here before we

826
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: take our first break, and then we'll get to the

827
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: shitty awards. As we've called the Coach of the year.

828
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: This is not shitty. Is a great award? Trade, No,

829
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: this one's the worst. Yeah, you wanted to talk about

830
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 2: coach over defensive players.

831
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, I think it's a more interesting conversation. Hey,

832
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 3: we got good defenders. At least these guys have some stories.

833
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 7: The defenders plays.

834
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: You're right, they do.

835
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 6: All right, let's do Executive of the Year after this

836
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 6: one got worst one.

837
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 3: I'd rather have a twinem in Stokes than Defensive of

838
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 3: the Year Teammate of the Year.

839
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: Who do you have for coach as well as tied

840
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 2: for second?

841
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 5: JB.

842
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 6: Bickerstaff with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Taylor Jenkins with the

843
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 6: Memphis Grizzlies, just like John Moran and Darius Garland have

844
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 6: the same case for most improved players. Exact same with

845
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 6: JB and Taylor here they both of these teams, the

846
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 6: Grizzlies and Cabs, exceeded expectations a lot of players having

847
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 6: career years UH this season. Job became an All star

848
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 6: SODA Darius Garland and Jared Allen JJJ, He's a dp

849
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 6: O Y candidate. I probably would put Jenkins ahead of

850
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 6: bicker Staff, but honestly same difference Number one though to

851
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 6: me blowout Manti William should win Coach of the Year.

852
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 6: Here by far the best record in the league. Sons

853
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 6: are fourth and offense third and defense first in net rating.

854
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 6: According to Basketball Reference, They've got eight more wins than

855
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 6: the next best team.

856
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 7: Bridges is an iron man.

857
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 6: He hasn't missed the game yet this season, but the

858
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 6: rest of the starters are going to miss at least

859
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 6: ten games and it doesn't matter like the Suns have

860
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 6: never fallen off. This seems to me the only bit

861
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,479
Speaker 6: of hardware they're probably gonna have a chance at winning.

862
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 6: So give it to him. Because Tom Thibodeau won it

863
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 6: last year with the JB. Bickerstaff and Taylor Jenkins case,

864
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 6: it was the smallest margin for a Coach of the

865
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 6: Year voting since the two to three season, and it looks.

866
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 7: Like a mistake now.

867
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 6: I mean, the Necks were good last year, but they

868
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 6: completely fell off, where the Sons have had a nice

869
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 6: run here from bubble to last season, going to the

870
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 6: finals to showing how great they actually are this season.

871
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 7: Give it to Monty.

872
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could very well have sixty five wins here, phoenixund.

873
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 4: You going with yeah? I yeh. I think JP early

874
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 4: in the season had this award, but with a little

875
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 4: bit of a slip off there, I think he's going

876
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 4: to drop and I think Jenkins is too. And I

877
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 4: got Monty's number one as well. They could win sixty

878
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 4: plus games. They probably will uh to do that without

879
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: Chris Paul for the last few months or the last

880
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 4: few weeks. Certainly, I think that's really good, really good

881
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 4: sign here for Phoenix. They they're in great shape to

882
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 4: go certainly back to the finals.

883
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: Anyway, can you make a case your narrative talk here

884
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: at Coach the Year for anybody else to at least

885
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: be included, or do you also think it's going to

886
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: go to monteu Loz.

887
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: Well, Yeah, I think it goes to Monty because voters

888
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: want to make up for what happened last year. As

889
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 3: Trey said there he was second, and the fact that

890
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: he's had to deal with all of that outside noise

891
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 3: in Phoenix this year, with the whole Robert Sarver situation

892
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 3: and the investigations going on there, and for him to

893
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 3: be able to keep this thing steady. Freddy, you know,

894
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a lifetime achievement award. This guy

895
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: should win it for what he did last year combined

896
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: for what he did this year. So Monty is getting it. Yeah,

897
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: the other guys obviously incredibly deserving and Jenkins JB. Bickerstaff

898
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: definitely should be up there. Billy Donvan was part of

899
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: the conversation for a while, but then his team has

900
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: fallen off a little bit. But yeah, I think there'll

901
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 3: probably be a few votes in there for Jason Kidd

902
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 3: for Michael Malone and even for Chris Finch of the Timberwolves.

903
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: What about Spolster, Yeah, I think, yes, I think he'll

904
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: get some votes, but I think Monty Williams, I'm with you, guys,

905
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: is going to be winning that one. Let's hear from

906
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: everybody in the stream. Team though, let us know who

907
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: you have winning all four of those awards. We're gonna

908
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: take a first break when we come back though, Least Improved,

909
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: seventh Man of the Year, mister temper boy as the

910
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: most beautiful I'm gonna give it to myself, and the

911
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: most beautiful shooter of the basketball. Yeah, some crazy alternative awards,

912
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: So don't go anywhere. It'll be right back, all right,

913
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 2: back with the boys and the Classic Factory here on

914
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: a Friday Drop podcast. We've talked about some of the

915
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 2: real NBA awards and the races and who we like

916
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 2: to win those, but we made up some awards as well,

917
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: the shitty awards. We've called them the alternative awards. The

918
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: first one we did most Improved. Let's do least improved. Yeah,

919
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 2: let's up, yeah, exactly, Tree get started. Who's uh, who's

920
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 2: your favorite to win Least Improved Player of the year.

921
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 6: I got three good candidates for at number three, de'arn Fox.

922
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 6: He is saving his season long stats right now, twenty

923
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 6: seven per game in February, thirty per game in March.

924
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 7: He ain't fooling me. Dearn Fox.

925
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 6: A decrease in scoring, assists, steals, field goal percentage, and

926
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 6: he's shooting under thirty percent from three for the season.

927
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 6: He was a sad boy for the first two thirds

928
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 6: of the season, and obviously the Kings remained the Kings.

929
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 6: At number two, Clint Capella, I thought this one was

930
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 6: gonna be all feel because he looks like a mummy

931
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 6: out there. He wears like the long white under pants

932
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 6: and then he has a like tall sox that he

933
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 6: scrunches down to his ankles, makes his feet look very heavy.

934
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 7: But don't worry.

935
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 6: His stats have completely dropped off as well. Lee five

936
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 6: fewer points per game, two fewer rebounds per game after

937
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 6: leading the league last season, and his blocks are down.

938
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 6: He's gonna lose this starting spot next season too. In

939
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 6: yakakong Wu, and he's still on the book for the

940
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 6: Hawks until twenty twenty five. That could be a bit

941
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 6: of an albatross there by the end of that contract,

942
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 6: but number one least improved player Christaps Porzingis. Scoring is down,

943
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 6: shooting is down, rebounding is down. He's under thirty percent

944
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 6: from three this season. Missed a bunch of time again,

945
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 6: but the main reason is that the MAVs season turned

946
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 6: around when Porzingis was gone. His last game for Dallas

947
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 6: was January twenty ninth. At that time they were twenty

948
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 6: nine and twenty one. He hurt his knee that game,

949
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 6: went out of the lineup, never returned for the Mavericks.

950
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 6: Was traded at the deadline. Since that January twenty ninth game,

951
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 6: the MAVs are fourteen and five. It was one hundred

952
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 6: percent additioned by subtraction getting rid of Porzingis, bringing in

953
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 6: Berton's and Dinwitty. So to me, he's got to be

954
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 6: at least improved this season.

955
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 4: Okay, oh wow, so the tans is really riding off

956
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 4: the tattails I think of the din't Witty.

957
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah there, yeah, okay, So you add Porzingis fromind

958
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: me who you're a copella capella?

959
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

960
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: Fox? Oh oh my heart on Darren Fox. But uh,

961
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: fair points least improve? Is he missing anybody?

962
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: Well, I'm I'm.

963
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: Surprised he didn't have one guy.

964
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 4: We'll say, well, mine goes back to the playoffs last

965
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: season Julius Randall, where he had a great season Old

966
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 4: style All NBA this season. Now he's averaging twenty and

967
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 4: ten this season, but the eye test tells you it

968
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 4: just hasn't been anywhere near as impactful as seasons gone by.

969
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 4: Now the points is down from twenty four a game

970
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 4: last season, and the rebounds about the same. He was

971
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 4: just over ten a game. He's just under ten a

972
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 4: game right now.

973
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,439
Speaker 2: Also, you can't win Least Improved and mister temper boy ah.

974
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 4: In fact, he won Most Improved last season, Randal, So

975
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 4: maybe this is what you said, though, guys wants to

976
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: win it twice. He's got to go so far down

977
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 4: that he can come back and bound.

978
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 2: And put money on Julius Randald from Most Improved Player

979
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: next year.

980
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. Field goal percentages down to forty percent or forty

981
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 4: two percent if your round up there. The three point

982
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 4: which was last year he really added that to his

983
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: game shot up pretty well at forty one percent. He's

984
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 4: down to thirty one percent there this season, excuse me.

985
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 4: And even the free throws are down and the assists.

986
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 4: Last season, he was doing it all for the Knicks.

987
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 4: You know, we had him in the playoffs against the Hawks,

988
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 4: and I think most was actually took the Knicks to

989
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: win that series. But in fact that was where he

990
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 4: first got exposed, where it was like, oh, I'm not

991
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 4: sure this guy's a number one guy and being a

992
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 4: bad season and the Knicks wine Mike the playoffs. Unfortunately,

993
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 4: for Julius Randall to spot a twenty and ten on

994
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 4: a Bucks school looks great, but that's a little bit

995
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 4: of a mirage. They had to see how he's been

996
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 4: playing this season.

997
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so Julius Randall, he still hasn't said who. I

998
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 2: thought one of you guys would say, so, I'm interested

999
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 2: to see if you do.

1000
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 3: I won't. You know, it's all how you look at

1001
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 3: it in terms of least Valuable Player, how the voter

1002
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 3: of this award looks at it. I like Trey's way

1003
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: of looking at it. Guys who just they just ain't

1004
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 3: the same. But Julius Randall fits the perfect box because

1005
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: he won Most Improved last year and his numbers have

1006
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: bounced back to the previous year, in fact, sometimes even

1007
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 3: a little bit lower. So the fact that he is

1008
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: shooting is true. Shooting percentage is a good way of

1009
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: looking at percentages. It's lower than two years ago and

1010
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: far lower than last year. But his points, yeah, jump

1011
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 3: back to two years ago. So it's like it's almost

1012
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: a perfect fit. Although, yeah, Clint Capella is that hurts

1013
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: here watching and at you'd think, I mean, they sign

1014
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: him up, they got a good, good contract value for him,

1015
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 3: it felt like, and he's yeah, just kind of kind

1016
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: of fallen off. And then John Collins is, as we

1017
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 3: mentioned at the beginning of the show, for a while,

1018
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 3: this is Yike's time for the team that went to

1019
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference finals last year. Yeah, the porzingis one

1020
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: easy to kick when he's down, for sure, and the

1021
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 3: Darren Fox one is is a good one because it's

1022
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 3: it's a young player that we're looking at as you know,

1023
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 3: a guy who's gonna who's gonna grow. And Randall. I

1024
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 3: guess the way reason I picked Randall is because maybe

1025
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 3: he fooled us last year and it seems like that

1026
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 3: was just a one year run and maybe I thought

1027
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 3: the playoff thing really messed with him and messed with

1028
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 3: him mentally, and now he's New York. Got to him

1029
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 3: a little bit, but maybe last year was just a

1030
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 3: bit of a one off. I think Pascal Siakam was

1031
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: what Julius Randall is now last year. Like Pascal Siakam

1032
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: was struggling last year after winning Most Improved, but he

1033
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 3: has bounced back. I don't know if Julius Randall will

1034
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 3: do that next season.

1035
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: I got some other names here, Okay, say it man.

1036
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 2: I looked it like this too. You know, I hate

1037
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 2: giving Most Improved to a second year player, but when

1038
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 2: it comes to least Improved, I got no problems because

1039
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: you should be getting better in your second year. But

1040
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 2: someone that is stagnated hasn't improved at all, in my opinion,

1041
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: or very very little. Killian Hayes with the Pistons. Now,

1042
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: he got hurt last night the head contusion there. He

1043
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: took a shot an accidental elbow from his teammate. I

1044
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 2: think it was from Kelly Olynnock. But he's just it's

1045
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 2: just numbers wise, it's brutal. There are stretches when I've

1046
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 2: seen him play recently, You're like, there's a flash. He's like, okay,

1047
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 2: it's there. You see the promise. You see why he

1048
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: was a high pick. But overall, this guy's averaging six

1049
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: points per game. He was averaging seven last year. The

1050
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: minutes are basically identical. He shoots thirty six percent from

1051
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: the floor. He can't hit a three to save his life.

1052
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: Twenty six percent. It's bad. And you know, he's still

1053
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: super young. He's only twenty years old. He will be

1054
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: in this league. I'm hoping at least for a long time.

1055
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: But I was just like, I think I had some

1056
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: high expectations for him, and he you know, he was

1057
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 2: injured last year, so he had that excuse. And he's

1058
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 2: got more chance to play this year in terms of

1059
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: games played, and he just hasn't really improved all that much.

1060
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 2: So I have to include him. Sorry, Davante Graham for

1061
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: the Pelicans in his fourth year and his numbers, he

1062
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: was averaging eighteen points per game a couple years ago,

1063
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 2: he's averaging twelve and a half.

1064
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 3: Now.

1065
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: Talk about a guy that can't shoot right now, thirty

1066
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: six percent overall from the floor that's not from three

1067
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 2: thirty four from distance, and those those numbers are down,

1068
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: and he's always been like a sub forty percent shooter. Yeah,

1069
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 2: so that's like sort of common for him. But he

1070
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: has not improved. And he's now twenty six years old.

1071
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been in the league couple of years old

1072
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 4: enough to remember when those old stop buzz are in.

1073
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 2: So okay, I have him. How about a guy that's like,

1074
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 2: like gotten worse as the season's gone on, Andrew Wiggins

1075
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: had him from an All Star starter to uh, you know,

1076
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 2: back to maybe what some of us have come to

1077
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: expect from Andrew Wiggins, which.

1078
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:54,439
Speaker 4: Is a mark.

1079
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 7: In the second half of the season, he's been worse

1080
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 7: than he ever was in Minnesota. Yeah, he's scared go to.

1081
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 6: The line, like so he won't drive in and I

1082
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 6: mean once Draymond went out and the lack of easy

1083
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 6: buckets dried up for Wiggins, it has been a stra ruggle.

1084
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the guy I can't believe nobody said maybe

1085
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 2: you're afraid to offend him Westbrook? Yeah, Russell Westbrook. How

1086
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: is he not the least improved at the levels that

1087
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: this guy was at over previous years. Now he's like

1088
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: a seventeen port game talking about a guy can't a

1089
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: free throw. It feels like you can't finish inside, you know.

1090
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: I think he's taking probably too much blame at times

1091
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 2: for the Lakers piss poor season, but he's been bad,

1092
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:36,439
Speaker 2: very bad.

1093
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got him. No, No, it's a good one.

1094
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: I sort of overlooked at because the Lakers have been

1095
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 4: just such a disaster, and I do think that it's like, okay,

1096
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 4: just dump it all on Westbrook. But yeah, it hasn't

1097
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 4: made a good fit and bad I mean, it's more

1098
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 4: on Roe Polinka. Really, I think he's built a bad

1099
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: team there in Los Angeles, bringing old guys, washed up

1100
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 4: guys and expecting them to gel. I don't know how

1101
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 4: he saw a Westbrook Lebron fit. I just didn't see it,

1102
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 4: and it's played out that way. But feel a bit

1103
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 4: bad for Westbrook because you know, he's done some things

1104
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 4: that had not been done in this league before. He's

1105
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 4: absolutely having a terrible season, but you know, everyone just

1106
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 4: sort of piling on him all the time. Feels a

1107
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 4: little bit like there's more blame to go around there

1108
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles than.

1109
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 2: Just on Yeah, I get it. It's just weird to

1110
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 2: see seventeen point nine points per game beside Russell Westbrook. Yeah,

1111
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy's been a twenty three, twenty four,

1112
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: twenty five up to thirty you know, basically a point

1113
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: per game scorer. He hasn't had this low since his

1114
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: like second year in Okay, see it's a long long time.

1115
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, But to me, it's it's not least I prove.

1116
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 3: It's just less opportunity, less, less shots. He's shooting less.

1117
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: He could get to those numbers and be a Washington

1118
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 3: Wizard's mediocre team like last year. That's not what you

1119
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 3: want if you're trying to win a championship like the Lakers.

1120
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 2: But it's just you know, it's a different role.

1121
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 5: R Lebron.

1122
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I've got him in the mix. Sorry, he's

1123
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: got to be gotta be on there. That's a fun

1124
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 2: one though. Anybody else that you wanted to slip in there. Well,

1125
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: we get more and more people upset that that we've included.

1126
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 2: You know, I'm sure I'll get some blowback on Killian Hayes,

1127
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 2: Devonte Graham.

1128
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 7: Killian Hayes to play defense, that's what they're saying. Stream team.

1129
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 6: I'll tell you who's upset about this. Me Because I

1130
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 6: looked at the dock this morning. You guys took all

1131
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 6: the other fake awards. I had to come in as

1132
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 6: the hater of the day on these least improved players.

1133
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 2: Next one here, seventh Man of the Year. We all

1134
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 2: agree Tyler Herroes winning sixth Man of the Year. So

1135
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 2: who is the seventh Man of the Year. This is

1136
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: actually sort of difficult, but I was like trying to

1137
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 2: to like, well, how many minutes does that guy have

1138
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 2: to play it? Does that mean there haves to be

1139
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: of course, like a guy ahead of him in the

1140
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: rotation generally gets more burn off the bend. So I

1141
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 2: couldn't ultimately pick one, but I'm gonna throw some nominees

1142
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 2: at you guys. Let's hear what you think. Two sort

1143
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: of honorable mentions for seventh Man of the Year. JaVale

1144
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: McGee on the Phoenix Suns. He's been really really solid. Yeah,

1145
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: it's been awesome. I mean, I know, anybody that plays

1146
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: for the BEEDINGX Suns feels like they're awesome at this

1147
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: point with the Suns machine and the Money Williams machine

1148
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 2: that they're running out there. But a little love for

1149
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: JaVale McGee and Brandon Clark on the Grizzlies too, you know,

1150
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 2: limited minutes, but a good old Canadian boy gets it

1151
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: done there and it's been you know, really helped out

1152
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies record. But my two guys I got sort

1153
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 2: of neck and neck. Is Kevin Love a seventh man?

1154
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:22,439
Speaker 4: Oh?

1155
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 2: I think he especially now Karslavert is their sixth man. Yeah,

1156
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: that he is there, maybe with a little dicey you know,

1157
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: Chetty Osband coming off the bench a lot too. So

1158
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: I think I'm fine putting Kevin Love as a seventh man.

1159
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: He's averaging fourteen seven and two and twenty two minutes

1160
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: per game off the pine. Yeah, good, very very good.

1161
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 5: And then.

1162
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 2: If I have him one B, I probably have this

1163
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 2: guy one A. So I guess I'm ultimately going with

1164
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: Max Struow Good as my seventh man of the averaging

1165
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: eleven points per game in limited minutes off the heat bench,

1166
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 2: but his shooting splits forty four, forty one, and seventy seven.

1167
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 2: I mean it's a efficient scorer in again sort of

1168
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: spot minutes. Tip of the cap, I guess to Gabe

1169
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: Vincent and Caleb Martin too, like you can sort of

1170
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: interchange these guys. But I think Max Strews sort of

1171
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: He's even closed games over Duncan Robinson stuff like that.

1172
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,959
Speaker 2: So he's the seventh man. But some love to Kevin

1173
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 2: Love McGee and Brandon Clark as well.

1174
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 3: Love the Max Struce pick. It's a sort of the

1175
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: Miami Heats Award to lose because they play so many

1176
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 3: guys and I'm kind of concerned with what they're going

1177
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 3: to do in the playoffs. If Victor Oldadipo is going

1178
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 3: to get more minutes than Struce, who's shooting over forty

1179
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 3: percent again from three, the guy is frigging money and yeah,

1180
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: he can win you game, sort of like what Duncan

1181
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 3: Robinson is in the starting lineup. But yes, Strew's has

1182
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 3: been hot and been hotter than Duncan Robinson this season. Yeah,

1183
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: a guy who's got eight letters in his name, always

1184
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: going to cheer for that, and a legit eight letters

1185
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 3: in his name. His parents named him Max Struce. By

1186
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 3: every website on the internet, there ain't a middle name,

1187
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 3: there ain't a longer first name. Well it's not a Maximilian,

1188
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 3: it's not a Maxwell, not a strusul hmm, but it

1189
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 3: is Max Strus And yeah, we both, uh we kind

1190
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 3: of look alike. We both currently have eight letters in

1191
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 3: our forms of our names. So yeah we're yeh, but

1192
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 3: I don't but today and it's the last few years

1193
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 3: I have, so yeah, okay, yeah he yeah, the and

1194
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 3: the it's the teams that go deep on the bench

1195
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 3: that are gonna win this this beloved award, the seventh, eighth,

1196
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: and ninth, and the Cavs have had to do that.

1197
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, Kevin Love he can. He's up for it

1198
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 3: as well.

1199
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: Who do you have? Try anyone else?

1200
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 6: I actually love the Brandon Clark pick. He's somehow tenth

1201
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 6: in minutes on the Grizzlies. I don't know how that's possible.

1202
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 6: He's forgotten how to shoot threes completely, but he just

1203
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 6: dunks every time he plays next to JJJ. He plays

1204
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 6: next to Steven Adams. When he plays next to JJJ,

1205
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 6: the Grizzlies look awesome. So I love that pick a

1206
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 6: couple more. What about this guys? I would throw in

1207
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 6: Maxi Kleba a little bit longer name. He's a seventh

1208
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 6: man who had to become a sixth man. Basically, when

1209
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 6: Tim Hardaway went out for the season, I think brunts

1210
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 6: and got bumped up to this starting lineup, which puts

1211
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 6: six clearer into the sixth man role. He's a part

1212
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 6: of the MAVs closing lineups and he's like a major

1213
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 6: X factor for them to me, and the other guy

1214
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 6: I would have is Grant Williams who was six to

1215
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 6: then minutes on the Celtics, but only ninth per game.

1216
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 7: So I'm willing to count it solid defender for from three.

1217
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 7: What about that guy?

1218
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: Good additions to the seventh year?

1219
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 4: This is true, It really is. And Brandon Clark just

1220
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 4: feels like he catches oops NonStop when he gets out here,

1221
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 4: gives them all that great energy. He's got the great ponytail.

1222
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 4: But I'm going with Kevin Love because it's been such

1223
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 4: a resurgent year from him. He's been really really invaluable

1224
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 4: for them, coming off the bench and accepting that role,

1225
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 4: adapting that role, getting out there, firing away those threes.

1226
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 4: The bench loves that. The Cavs, you know, for seventy

1227
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 4: five percent of the season has been really really impressive,

1228
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 4: and a big part of it is him. I remember,

1229
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 4: I think it was just last season where he sort

1230
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 4: of slapped the ball away and he looked like he

1231
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 4: was like pouting his way out.

1232
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 2: Sounds like a mister temper boy, sure does.

1233
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 4: But I think it's been really good to see and

1234
00:53:58,080 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 4: I think that that sort of stuff does rub off

1235
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 4: on young applies where it's like, yep, I was down,

1236
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 4: but I've come back and this has had a big

1237
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 4: professional Okay.

1238
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 3: I love the Brandon Clark pick too, because he was

1239
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 3: down last year. You could have you could have voted

1240
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 3: him as the least valuable player or least improved player

1241
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 3: last year. He fell back in a year two, but

1242
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 3: he's established himself as he knows what he is and

1243
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like he'll ever be out of a

1244
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: rotation again. He's just he's just solid at the Duncan man.

1245
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 3: Did you see uh Grant Williams. You know he's doing

1246
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 3: this thing as the three and D type guy, big Baby.

1247
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 3: Davis was on the Celtics broadcast and he says, oh,

1248
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 3: I love Grant Williams. He is what I always thought

1249
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 3: I could be.

1250
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 7: That's interesting.

1251
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, I don't see the two.

1252
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 3: I see body shape. I guess somewhat similar big Baby.

1253
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 2: He's big baby with a three point shot.

1254
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:43,919
Speaker 3: Yeah the three?

1255
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 4: Where's the yeah?

1256
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 3: Where's the baby three points?

1257
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 6: I guess he's saying I would have stretched it out

1258
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,720
Speaker 6: playing in today's game because they got they got matching booses.

1259
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 3: That's yeah, it's not like big Baby played when Joe

1260
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: Dumars played.

1261
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 4: That's a good point. Instead of baby Jordan, We've got

1262
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 4: baby big baby, all.

1263
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 2: Right, our next baby, mister temper boy or calling in nice?

1264
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1265
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 2: Where are you going with this task? Because obviously this

1266
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 2: is open to interpret.

1267
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah it is, isn't it?

1268
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 2: I mean I threw out Julius Randall as a possibility.

1269
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 2: I think he would have to be. Wasn't he given

1270
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 2: middle fingers to his home crowd?

1271
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? Hell, shut the hell up.

1272
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 3: Sounds like the definition of a temperate boy. I went

1273
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 3: a little bit more on the court in terms of

1274
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,359
Speaker 3: temper because Luka Doncic yells at the referees probably more

1275
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 3: than anybody. I think he talks to the refs. He

1276
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 3: leads the league in technicals. Yeah, so that really helps

1277
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 3: out his case. One of his nicknames is wonder Boy

1278
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 3: temper boy.

1279
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 2: Nothing more added to the basketball reference nickname, but.

1280
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, temper boy, wonder Boy is on there. You know

1281
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 3: the ringer had that wonder Boy tune that they they

1282
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 3: sung for Luka Doncic. They could easily sing a temper

1283
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 3: boy tune to to that as well.

1284
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

1285
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 3: And if you remember this is going way back, it

1286
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 3: feels like, yeah, six months ago is sixteen years ago.

1287
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 3: But at the beginning of the season, the Athletic had

1288
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 3: that article before about the front office and how it's

1289
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 3: sort of fallen apart in Dallas and how it's splintered,

1290
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 3: and how Luka Doncic at some point was on the

1291
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 3: floor during the bubble and Bob Garris, then an employee

1292
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 3: of the Dallas Mavericks, told Luca to calm down, and

1293
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 3: Luca got really pissed at that. Now, you know, bubble

1294
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 3: Garrison disputes that, but it just it just fits. It

1295
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 3: fits this, you know, like if we had a nice

1296
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 3: little montage go back to that, like this is this.

1297
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 7: Is Luca has.

1298
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 3: He's got the reputation of a temper, of having a temper. So, yeah,

1299
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 3: the text really sealed it for me leading the league.

1300
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fun trivia question I maybe tasked to

1301
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 2: see in the list. Hopefully you haven't. Can you tell

1302
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 2: me the top five and technical foul leaders this year?

1303
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 2: Luca number one, he has fifteen overall. What else would

1304
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 2: you say is on the list?

1305
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 7: Pair of teammates coming up next?

1306
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a team that's had a frush trading

1307
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 2: year very frustrating. We talked about him a lot for

1308
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,479
Speaker 2: a team that sucks.

1309
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 4: Utah, No, that sucks.

1310
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 3: His worst year since his rookie year.

1311
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 2: I just got done talking about one of the maybe

1312
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 2: the greatest ever could be least improved, at least improved.

1313
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 4: New York Knicks.

1314
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 3: No, no, the other team they were talking about also

1315
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 3: a big market.

1316
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 7: To top seventy five players all time.

1317
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bron and not Lebron Westbrook.

1318
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 2: Yes, who else is on that team that's top seventy five?

1319
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 4: Dwy No, he's not there. It is.

1320
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly okay, and then text off the bench, Yeah

1321
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 2: that is. Then we have a guy that just had

1322
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 2: a dominant performance over like the last week, like an

1323
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 2: incredible game Towns Towns Yeah fourteen.

1324
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 7: Uh.

1325
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 2: And then two guys in the Eastern Conference. Uh, they

1326
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: met in the playoffs last year. You were at one

1327
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 2: of the games, maybe and their.

1328
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 4: Star players indeed, yep, and try young there you go,

1329
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 4: there you go.

1330
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 2: Those guys although we listed have thirteen or more technical.

1331
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 4: Kitchen not in the amongst the metals they I thought

1332
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 4: they would have been in the ondience.

1333
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 2: Don't even see him.

1334
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 7: Now, he's got only like seven technicals.

1335
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 6: This searsonally something a pretty low number because I actually

1336
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 6: had him on my Temper boy list as well, because

1337
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 6: I think he makes the angriest faces in oh yeah,

1338
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 6: Like he had that uh in the game against the Sixers,

1339
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 6: he had that weird floater he thought he got fouled

1340
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 6: and he just looked like nobody has ever been as

1341
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 6: angry as Nicola jokicch was running.

1342
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 7: Back down the corner.

1343
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 6: And of course he knocked Markeith Morris out of the

1344
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 6: season for forty games because he got upset. Yeah, so

1345
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 6: I think that's a strike against him. Another guy would

1346
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 6: throw in the mix, just because I thought it was hilarious.

1347
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 6: Looking at the tech file leaders, DeMarcus Cousins has eleven

1348
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 6: technicals in thirty six games. He's played five hundred and

1349
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 6: sixty three minutes. That's won every fifty one minutes. That's

1350
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 6: like a Rashid Wallace kind of Yeah. That's that's the

1351
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 6: most unbreakable record in NBA history right now. Yeah, forty

1352
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 6: one texts in a season.

1353
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 7: But if Boogie could play like a full he would

1354
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 7: blow that away.

1355
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 2: Wow, good good catch.

1356
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: I thought Carmelo would be the leader in text per

1357
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 3: minute coming off the bench, but notes.

1358
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 2: Demarcuss gotta be dots. Is there anyone else that you have?

1359
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 4: No one else? I have, no, no, just trying to

1360
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 4: think of angry guys. I mean, Rudy gomb is an

1361
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 4: angry guy. You know, Yeah, he's kind of he's always

1362
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 4: looking kind of pissed, and you know him and him

1363
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 4: and Luca throwing the ball and at each other and

1364
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 4: stuff like that. Rudy's sah, yeah, he's a temper boy.

1365
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: Speaking of like angry faces, JD, could you give me

1366
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 2: a solo real quick, just so we could grab a

1367
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 2: screen grab of me getting angry and it's saying, mister

1368
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 2: temper boy, it might be something you just want to have.

1369
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: So if you there's something there we can grab, I'm sure. Okay.

1372
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,760

00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 4: Shooter of the Basketball for these awards. You know, saban

1374
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:01,800

1375
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 4: bit of a rough look. You know, Plumbley would be

1376
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 4: in there as well, but it's not. It's the most

1377

01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,640

1395

1396
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 4: got a beautiful, beautiful mechanics. Watch him check out. But

01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 4: most sound mechanics, it's just beautiful. The way he rises up.

1401

1406
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,440

Speaker 4: the full boom for.

1485
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 7: Night tweet O the night, Wow Twitt.

1486
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 3: Not just a tweet tweets about the NCAA tournament, of

1487
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 3: course I had to. We've got four tweets. Two first

1488
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 3: from our friend Mark Deeks, your annual reminder that college

1489
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 3: basketball players do not play harder. They just make it

1490
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 3: look harder because they're not as good Damn Mark Deeks,

1491
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 3: and he continued, quote, stay in school and learn how

1492
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 3: to play the game in an inefficient way that will

1493
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 3: put you in roles you will never look good and

1494
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 3: which does no one's individual ability any favors.

1495
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 8: Damn Mark Deeks, Same Deeks.

1496
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they play hard because they may looked hard, says

1497
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 3: Mark Deecks.

1498
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 4: I liked that.

1499
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 7: I liked it.

1500
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 3: I liked it just pure, but but uh great scout.

1501
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 3: Mike Schmitz also noted that listen, don't just judge a

1502
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 3: guy by the one game that he had in the

1503
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 3: NC DOUBLEA Tournament, because he could turn out to be

1504
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 3: an NBA player. He said, quote, I remember Herb Jones,

1505
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 3: current Pelican, going two for seven from the free throw

1506
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 3: line and oh for three from three and last year's

1507
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 3: turney lost to UCLA. Turns out he still found a

1508
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 3: way to be a good NBA player. Moral of the story,

1509
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 3: don't sell stock on a prospect just because they struggle

1510
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 3: in one NCUABLEA Tournament game. And he goes on. Not

1511
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 3: just Herb Jones, Franz, He's gonna finish top five in

1512
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 3: the Rookie of the Year voting. Remember when Franz Wagner

1513
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 3: went one for ten from the field, oh for four

1514
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 3: from three, and an nc DOUBLEA tournament lost to UCLA,

1515
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 3: including a big air ball treys. Not in a way

1516
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 3: you remember that one. You remember that he's been one

1517
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 3: of the best rookies in the NBA this year while

1518
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 3: shooting a solid thirty six percent from three. Stay the course,

1519
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 3: Schmidz knows his stuff, so it's good. It was nice

1520
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 3: and I saw him right, and that's why with the

1521
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 3: single eimination. Yeah, you could have a bad game.

1522
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 6: Course, of course, I would assume had a really bad

1523
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 6: game in the NCAA Tournament last year. They were one

1524
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 6: of the best teams in college basketball. He just could

1525
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 6: not handle the ball. It's part of the reason he

1526
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 6: ended up dropping to the balls in the second round.

1527
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 6: I kind of think, you know, if you on the

1528
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 6: biggest stage, like people are going to kind of overrate

1529
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 6: and overanalyze those performances.

1530
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 7: But it's just one game.

1531
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 6: Even James Harden way back like he had a terrible

1532
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 6: tournament and people are like, oh, this guy's nothing. He's

1533
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 6: a top seventy five mbquair Now.

1534
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 4: Someone tweeted the other day like one of the owners

1535
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 4: or some of the owners are just like they see

1536
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 4: a guy play one or two good games all bad games,

1537
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 4: and they're like all in or all out, and the

1538
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 4: scouts hate it because it's like we've been scouting this

1539
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 4: guy for like three or four years. At most point,

1540
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 4: we know more intel on him. Yes, he had a

1541
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 4: bad or a great game, but let's not jump in

1542
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 4: too quickly.

1543
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. How much were you watching

1544
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 2: a lot of college ball yesterday? I felt like, you're

1545
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 2: some tweets were.

1546
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 5: Flying, had a lot.

1547
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 4: No, Okay, I mean I was.

1548
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 2: I didn't see a single second yesterday.

1549
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 3: Why I was asking, Yeah, yeah, the Iowa game killer

1550
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 3: got cheering for a Georgia State against the Zags. Thought

1551
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 3: there was a chance, thought there was a chance. As

1552
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 3: we started tweeting around, Oh you're watching this game. Ten

1553
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 3: minutes left, they're within two. I think that's what it was.

1554
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 3: I don't think they scored for the next eight minutes.

1555
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 3: But in that game, Chet Holmgren sort of getting back

1556
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 3: to Mark Deeks and him saying, these guys make it

1557
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 3: look harder because they're just not as naturally gifted. A

1558
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 3: lot of these guys, I mean, ninety five percent of

1559
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 3: these guys don't go on to the NBA. Chet Holgren,

1560
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 3: seven footer, had seven blocks. Looks like he's got all

1561
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 3: the skills in the world, but he kind of does

1562
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 3: make it look harder just because he kind of is

1563
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 3: a little bit awkward. I'm just intrigued by what he's

1564
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 3: going to be in the NBA. He can handle, he

1565
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 3: could pass, but sometimes he looks super awkward. And maybe

1566
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 3: that's because he's seven feet tall and under two hundred pounds.

1567
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 7: That's a skinny guy.

1568
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 3: But he can he can do himself. Again, as I said,

1569
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 3: seven blocks had some nice dishes. Talented, talented dude. Can't

1570
01:08:59,000 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 3: wait to see.

1571
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 2: Him pick the results from last night. It was the

1572
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: only game on so we were picking it like the

1573
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 2: degenerates that we are. Pistons in Orlando. Orlando was favored

1574
01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 2: by three.

1575
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 5: And a half.

1576
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 2: Now again, a lot of guys, we're missing this one

1577
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 2: from both teams. But in the end, Detroit straight up

1578
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 2: hits the money line and Trey had it right.

1579
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 5: Win for you.

1580
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 2: Everybody else takes DL. So Task falls to eight and five,

1581
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 2: I fall to six and seven. Tray's there with me.

1582
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 2: Now Lee, you're five and eight, okay, so you're still

1583
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,639
Speaker 2: in last place. What's tonight's game.

1584
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 3: Forget the NCAA journal.

1585
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 4: We got a Barn barner.

1586
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 3: The Dallas Maverick's going to Philadelphia. Yes, looking forward to that.

1587
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 3: Nothing on National TV ESPN, staying the heck away from Oh,

1588
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 3: there's an NBA TV game, there's ANBA there's a couple

1589
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 3: of NBA TV games. Do we count those in National TV?

1590
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 3: Sometimes we do, Sometimes we don't. The MAVs seventy six

1591
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,839
Speaker 3: ers on League Pass two and a half point favorites

1592
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 3: at home for the Philadelphia seventy six ers, Skeets and

1593
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 3: Trey Thanks. I think that the Sixers will take care

1594
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 3: of those hot hot Avs coming in to Philly. Lee

1595
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 3: like the MAVs as well as I.

1596
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, the real do dop all tonight, isn't it? Ty Race?

1597
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 4: This is CLEBA MAXI versus.

1598
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 3: I have to think about that.

1599
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 2: I only took Philly, I'll be honest, because I thought

1600
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: this line was weird.

1601
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would most like, how are the Mavericks favorites

1602
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 4: in this game?

1603
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 2: But That's why I'm taking Philly.

1604
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 7: They always knows something another game winner.

1605
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 3: But why would you think the MAVs would be favorite

1606
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 3: way better than Philly?

1607
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 2: Has? I mean, I mean, we haven't seen anything from

1608
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 2: the Sixers against good teams really yet, so I was

1609
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 2: just shocked.

1610
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have similar records, so you know they're within

1611
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 3: half game of each other. I understand. Yeah, us watching it,

1612
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 3: we see that the Sixers are playing extremely great basketball.

1613
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 3: But they've been winning since James Hard and Scott there. Yeah,

1614
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 3: they lost to the Heat, they lost to the Nets.

1615
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,600
Speaker 2: There, haven't beaten yet, so I don't know. I just

1616
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 2: thought that would be favorite, like a small line but

1617
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 2: in the n Philly at home Friday night, and I'm

1618
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 2: backing them along with Tray.

1619
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 7: Right here we go, right, that's how we get this

1620
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 7: pick right, excellent.

1621
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,840
Speaker 2: I can't believe we didn't make the game Grizzlies Hawks.

1622
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 2: So heading down to the Fortress man Ley tonight, standing

1623
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 2: room only.

01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 4: Of course, the only way to watch your game these days.

1625
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:20,719

Speaker 4: Yes, wait, I'm gonna water my home bread after the show.

1627
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 4: So I get it just before the third quarter starts,

1628
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 4: or maybe the fourth quarter or.

1629
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 3: Are they making it on a green egg.

1630
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 7: Time?

1631
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 3: That is that?

1632
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,120

1635
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. We want to see John Morant once again.

1636
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 2: I want to see him again in person. Obviously went

1637
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 2: to the Memphis game. You didn't go to that one.

1638
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,799
Speaker 2: So is he playing. He's a game time decision sources.

1639
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 4: He's very likely to play.

1640
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 2: Okay, but you do realize what we have to do.

1641
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 2: You have to get a Grizzlies jersey, Ja Moran jersey

1642
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 2: Grizzly's hat. Yeah, we have to make a sign that

1643
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 2: says Ja Moran for m v P.

1644
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,280

01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 3: or not it was a dirty dive on Thursday show.

1689
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 3: But that's not what we're here for right now. Let's

1690
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 3: feel like kids and get a little silly here. Tell

1691
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 3: me about the last time your body physically rolled. It's

1692
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 3: a fun.

1693
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 2: Feeling like this. You always have to do yourself task

1694
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 2: and this, to me now is the new craziest rapid

1695
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 2: fire question of all time.

1696
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 3: I can't wait for these stories.

1697
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,560
Speaker 2: I read it to Nora last night. I said, this

1698
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 2: is the question, and I said, and then guess who

1699
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 2: wrote it? I said, tell me about the last time

1700
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 2: your body physically rolled. She's like, well, that was task,

1701
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 2: and what does that mean? I mean, I guess the

1702
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 2: obvious answer is rolling out of bed boo. But I'm

1703
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 2: not going with good. I'm going with something that you'll

1704
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 2: hate even more, the post run phone roller O. I mean,

1705

1710
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 3: a crazy question, but I've got an answer to that.

1711
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 3: The answer you had was a form.

1729
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 6: I think Lee's gonna probably take this one because I

1730
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 6: was unsure if you meant like doing a body roll

1731
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 6: like oh yeah, I've been dancing MCGONRM style a lot,

01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 4: making a lot of smoothies for my boys lately, like

1843
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 4: trying to get all the spinach and kale and all

1844
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 4: the good stuff into them.

1845
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: On the green Egg.

1846
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, don't put out of the green Egg.

1847
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 4: But I bought the nutrib bollots. I've got, you know,

1848
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 4: all sorts of things, and most of the smoothies turn

1849
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 4: out okay, but every now and again you might put

1850
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 4: a little bit too much ginger or kale or something

1851
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 4: in there. My nine year old gave him one the

1852
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 4: other day and he said, and he sort of looked

1853
01:21:52,280 --> 01:21:53,640
Speaker 4: at me and he licked his lips a bit, and

1854
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 4: he's like, it's good, it's good. It's not my favorite one.

1855
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 4: I was like, that's okay, we're learning. We'll tweak it

1856
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 4: around a little bit. My five year old. He copies

1857
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 4: what he's nine year old does a lot of time.

1858
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 4: He looked at him. He said, it's good that it

1859
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 4: just tastes a little bit terrible, just a little bit.

1860
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know again, health concoctions are you getting?

1861
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 7: I mean, I've got a.

1862
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 4: Lot of berries in there. Sometimes sometimes you can just for.

1863
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 2: Some of the drinks. All these healthy smoothie kids coughing

1864
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 2: up a lot, being sick every day in here. I

1865
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 2: know he's some meat man.

1866
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 4: It's just COVID hangover. That's I'm sure. Anyway, that's it. Okay, Yeah,

1867
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 4: he finds it disgusting.

1868
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you got it. You gotta do what you

1869
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 3: gotta do to get a rapid fire question.

1870
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 7: I know what you gotta do. The guide really the question.

1871
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,799
Speaker 6: I'm got to combine your two answers because my original

1872
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 6: answer was apple juice, which I just don't like. I

1873
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 6: just think you're too sweet. But apple cider is very good.

1874
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 6: I need the warming spices. But the thing I really

1875
01:22:58,360 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 6: don't like. And Lee, I don't know if you do

1876
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 6: this because it probably turns a little bit bubble teeish.

1877
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,960
Speaker 6: I hate chia seeds in a smoothie. They're apparently very

1878
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 6: very healthy for you, but they can turn like chocolate

1879
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 6: milk into pudding.

1880
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 7: It just gets very thick and very thick and goofy.

1881
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1882
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 6: Despite the fact that their seeds like or because they're seeds,

1883
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 6: they're like still get stuck in your teeth even though

1884
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 6: they're chewy. I don't understand at all how they work.

1885
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 6: Chia seeds should remain on chiapet.

1886
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 4: As far as and flex seeds as well at top.

1887
01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 7: So dry.

1888
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 4: That's where I'm going A few times, I'm trying to

1889
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 4: put some steeds in but not having much life.

1890
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes I see those seeds at the bottom of the

1891
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 3: cop that I'm taking them down no matter what, but

1892
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,599
Speaker 3: I don't enjoy it, like this one's for the health,

1893
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 3: just in a pile of goop at the bottom glimey. Yeah.

1894
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 2: JD. Did you have an answer for a beverage that

1895
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 2: you that you find discussing that maybe other people.

1896
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 8: Like people love kombucha, cannot stand it. It's the worst

1897
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 8: drink ever. It's like it's like a non alcoholic beer

1898
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 8: or something. It's like lemon, but it feels like it's

1899
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 8: spiked with something. And when you make it yourself with

1900
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 8: which Rachel did for a few months. You have this

1901
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 8: gelatinous that's called the Mother in your fridge taking up

1902
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:17,640
Speaker 8: all this room. Like everything about makes me angry. It's

1903
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 8: the most overrated thing.

1904
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 5: In the world.

1905
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 4: Some of it was really sort of combinus, and some

1906
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 4: of it was just as flat as anything. It's so

1907
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 4: hot to get it consistent.

1908
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:29,600
Speaker 2: Okay, what about you?

1909
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 3: You know I don't like of course I'll drink it.

1910
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 3: I'll drink it, obviously if it's the only thing there. Obviously.

1911
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 7: You know what else do I hate? You know, I'm like,

1912
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 7: are like a good beverage. I'll try anything, anything, anything.

1913
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 3: I haven't had an iron brew from Scotland.

1914
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:55,200
