00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: don't know it flourishes. I guess the best way to

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,160

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,200

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: the week Absolute I thought there was a like a

45
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: last minute addition to the nominee. So I'm excited about that.

46
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came out of nowhere as well.

47
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna play a little NBA buy or sell

48
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to some of like the middle of

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the PAC teams and maybe even some of the favorites

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to the awards. So that's a new

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: segment here, NBA buy yourself for us. We got rapid firefund,

52
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: we got tweeted the night and oh my god, it

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: says here in my notes, the Pickle Report is back.

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah wow, oh my goodness. It was so good the

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: first time people were talking about it. Sure, so you

56
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: were definitely knocking about.

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: Jen's Pickle Report makes its triumphant return. But first, let's

58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: touch on last night's action, especially the late game, which

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: was a doozy Jamal Murray's three gives the Nuggets the

60
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: one twenty one one twenty victory over Damian Lillard and

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: the Blazers. Do yourself a favor and go watch at

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: least the wild ending that NBA YouTube posted of the

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: final three minutes of this because the shot making was

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: next level. It was just like it was nuts. I mean,

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: there were a couple misshots, but not many. Going back

66
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: and forth between all the stars out there. What are

67
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: your takeaways?

68
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was cool. Even when the stars missed, the

69
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: complimentary stars made up for it. Aaron Gordon coming in,

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Simon's helping out for the Blazers. Let's just talk about

71
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray a wild game winning shot in that it

72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: was designed for Nicole Jokic. Jokic had the ball and

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: he kind of fumbled it and said, you know what,

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: you take it. I think that's galaxy brain. Nikole Jokich

75
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: thinking thinking long term. I just need my guy to

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: get going. We need bubble Jamal Murray back and he's

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: coming along from his injury. And that was that looked

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: like bubble Murray to me. Just a really tough shot.

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: He's a tough shot maker and a tough shot taker.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: That's what he does. And his former teammate Jeremy Grant

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 2: was guarding him. He was part of the bubble, and

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: I think he just sort of admired, Oh yeah, that's

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: him doing the bubble thing. Now. Lots of conversation about

84
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: whether or not maybe they had a foul to give,

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: maybe just maybe just foul or what Chauncey Bils was

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,799
Speaker 2: very angry about after the game. Why let him shoot

87
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: a three, maybe force him to to drive, get up

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: on there, and then we have overtime year at home

89
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: in a worst case scenario. But this is a sort

90
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: of emblematic of Jokic's first quarter of the season. Let

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: another guys do it. As we've talked about, his shots

92
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: are way down after two times winning the MVP. This

93
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: is going to be a weird one where he could

94
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: win the number one seed in the West and not

95
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: win MVP. It sure feels that way, like like there's

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: a very good chance that that could happen because Jamal

97
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: Murray is going to be better in December and January,

98
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: and who knows about Michael Porter. So there's lots of

99
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: things going well for the Nuggets, although heartbreaker for the Blazers.

100
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: They were up eleven early in the fourth court.

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, but man, then Dame was

102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: hitting those classic game time shots, thirty foot bombs and

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: pointing literally pointing at the risks, thinking on that last

104
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: one that it was over. But Jamal Murray had other thoughts.

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: I think a part of Yillkich giving him the ball too.

106
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Was Murray had just hit that crazy baseline fade away.

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: It was like forty seconds ago. That maybe shot was

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: even more difficult than the one he hit that was

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: the game winner. But TK, I saw you tweeting about this,

110
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: stayed up late to take it in and enjoying the

111
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: shot making.

112
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 5: Oh, I love to see some great shot making out there.

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 5: And there was Jamal Murray fourteen points in the fourth quarter.

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 5: Like you said, he hit the tough baseline shot, obviously

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 5: hit the game winner, but he was also instrumental in

116
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: the comeback. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 5: was Murray and the bench out there. They were down

118
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 5: by ten pretty early, Blazers were cooking, crowd was loud.

119
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 5: That could have easily been a loss for the Nuggets.

120
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 5: They've really struggled to beat five hundred teams, teams that

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 5: are five hundred and above so far. Their bench has

122
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: not been great, I don't think so far this season.

123
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 5: So not only do you get the benefit of Murray

124
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: having a really nice game, incredible poise by both him

125
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: and Jokic to realize, like even when Yokic kind of

126
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: like fumbles the ball a little bit there, they got

127
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 5: enough time that they don't need to hurry. They got

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 5: a good shot. So a little bit of extra confidence

129
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 5: for Murray as he returns from injury, some more confidence

130
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: for Michael Malone in his bench. Christian Brown, I thought,

131
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 5: had an awesome game, Like just great activity. He's one

132
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 5: of the more athletic guys on the Nuggets, so that

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 5: certainly helps. And yeah, great win for Denver, great win

134
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: for me and the pick them payoffs. Oh that one

135
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: point so nice?

136
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: Oh wild, We'll get to the pick results. I couldn't

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: believe it was awesome, of course, because we addressed it

138
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 1: here on the show, and it mattered. It does matter

139
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: in the end. And the Blazers too though. They could

140
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: have won this game a couple instances right, not only

141
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: giving up the big lead, but that fast break where

142
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: they had the two on one where Josh Hart he

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: just dropped the ball and slipped and then fell out

144
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: of bounds and it was going the other way. I

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: mean that would have put them up three. So maybe yeah,

146
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: shots still made. It still goes over time and who knows,

147
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: but man, that could have been one of the daggers there,

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: but that was unfortunate. And then he had one underneath

149
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: inside you know a little bit prior to that, and

150
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: Jokich had an awesome defensive play. Yeah, of course, Nurkic

151
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: had an awesome defensive play on Yoki. That's what I

152
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: loved about. This awesome shot making, huge buckets made. But

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: the defensive effort was there from both teams, like a

154
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: lot of plays where they made the difference in terms

155
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: of blocking or steels or getting back whatever or the

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: ones even that got hit in their face. And it's

157
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: not like it was lack of effort. I mean they

158
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: were challenging.

159
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: These Yeah, I know Billips was angry about that three

160
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: point shot at the end. I think he was just

161
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: sort of mad at his bench and the lack of

162
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: execution in that fourth quarter. It could have been mad

163
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: at even Jeremy Grant, who's been in a potential All

164
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: Star here, but take in some of those shots that

165
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: he took with the Pistons. I thought last year in

166
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter where it's just a little ioball and

167
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: they just kind of they lost the lead. I think

168
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: they missed their littles minutes out there, but they Yeah,

169
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: besides Drew you Banks sitting a three point or what

170
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: and looking athletic out there, the bench was struggling in

171
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: the non Dame minutes. That's where they lost the game.

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: R Gary Payton second, I think is expected to come

173
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: back pretty soon, so that'll obviously give them a little

174
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: help to their bench unit. And just the idea of

175
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: having Gary Payton out there in a close game like

176
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: that to put on Jamal Murray, let's say, maybe makes

177
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: it a little more difficult. I know he doesn't have

178
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: the height of Jeremy Grant, but obviously the speed to

179
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: stay up on him and maybe force him inside. Sure,

180
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be looking forward to that. What a game,

181
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you said it the other day. Try to

182
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: forget what game it was. Oh, maybe it was the

183
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: Bucks Lakers game, which was really really entertaining. We're like, oh,

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: that could have been game of the season so far.

185
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: There's been a couple of other instances, Celtics Cavs, maybe

186
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: one of their overtimes. We got to build a list,

187
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: We got to build a list like this is this

188
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: is on the short list right now, But it'd be

189
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: fun to have, like at the end of the year,

190
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: to be like, here are like the nine or ten

191
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: games whatever it is that you should go back and

192
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: at least watch the condensed version or the wild ending

193
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: clip or the whole damn thing, because it was like

194
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: one of the best games of the year.

195
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 5: We did that twenty twenty when there was the break

196
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 5: between the season and the bubble starting, we had to, like,

197
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 5: you know, we came up with some content ideas. Hey,

198
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: remember basketball, it was happening books ago, and these were

199
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 5: some great games. So yeah, that's all. That's a fun

200
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 5: one to go and relive some classic moments. My other

201
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 5: two takeaways from this game, I do love that use

202
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 5: of Nurkic always brings it when he plays against Yokic

203
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: since they traded him to make way for Jokic. The

204
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 5: right move for the Nuggets, I would say, but he

205
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 5: definitely steps his game up in a revenge game sort

206
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 5: of factor there. And number two, the Nuggets jerseys that

207
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 5: they were wearing last night, those like they're white ones,

208
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 5: they just look too sweaty. They got like a weird

209
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: kind of patterns to mesh in it that makes them

210
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: look extra sweaty.

211
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: It makes them honestly look sort of cheap, a little dingy. Yeah, yeah,

212
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: I had the I didn't write it down, but I

213
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: was thinking that watching that game, too. Don't know a

214
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: fan of those.

215
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: I was thinking too small. I was doing this, you know,

216
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: the the old too small to my my TV while

217
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: I was watching it because the font is too smart.

218
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Again.

219
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, the balance just kind of it's odd.

220
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Okay, what a game. Great game again, go check out

221
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: at least the wild ending All Caps locks clipped that

222
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: the NBA posts on their YouTube.

223
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: It is.

224
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: It's worth it all right, Kelvin Johnson. Hot start helps

225
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the Spurs beat the Rockets. They end their skit at eleven.

226
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: They had lost eleven straight games, the second longest in

227
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: franchise history. But the Spurs get to win over the

228
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. I don't think I spend a lot of

229
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: time on this. These are two bottom going teams. But

230
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: any notes outside of the Elprin s Sheng gun dunk

231
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: on Zach Collins that gotta got called off because it

232
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: was called a charge and they went and looked at

233
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: it and said it was I got a push off.

234
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 5: Yeah it's my only note.

235
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, my only note.

236
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean this was the truth. Go test man.

237
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 5: The two worst teams in the Beast Conference playing against

238
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: each other. Nice job by the Spurs to get the win.

239
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 5: And not be the worst Spurs team of the past

240
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: thirty five years. So I think that's good. And yeah,

241
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 5: Kelvin Johnson he started what five for five? Yep, the

242
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 5: guy's a good player. He fell out of the rotation,

243
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 5: he got benched earlier in the season. Was weird, Yeah,

244
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 5: he was, But I still think he's a quality guy.

245
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 5: He'll probably stick around the Spurs for a while to

246
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 5: the next iteration of when their team is actually good

247
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 5: and who knows he can get his reps in theough?

248
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Was Kelvin Johnson he went late in the first round?

249
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: Was he the pick that came in the DeRozan Kawhi

250
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Leonard deal? Is that who he turned out to be?

251
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: How do you check that for me? In the stream team?

252
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: I think he was, Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

253
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 5: It was.

254
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Raptors obviously were good and yeah, yeah,

255
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: do you have any notes on on this one?

256
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, poor Zach Collins, Yeah he got He hit

257
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: the ground pretty hard on that one. Yeah, and he

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: exited the game. And we're going to get to a

259
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: question a little later the show about whether we want

260
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: the referees to call the letter of the low Boy

261
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: and as far as travels.

262
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Go and moving pigs.

263
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, everything, And the letter of the law says that

264
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: Alpern shan Gun used his off arm. But it's like,

265
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: it's natural, it's natural to have an arm there. What

266
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: are you supposed to do? One arm, one armed down.

267
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: You can't lock your shoulder in place like play with

268
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: a straight jacket out there. It doesn't it's it's stupid.

269
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: It's dumb. That was an amazing dunk and and it hurts.

270
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: It hurts to see it called that.

271
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: He wanted that one so bad too. He was We're

272
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: going to check that one immediately, like we are taking

273
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: another look at that. Yeah, and then and then they

274
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: upheld it the call on the on the court.

275
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: That hurts. It's natural to have an arm out there

276
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: when you're dribbling. Even if you've watched the clips of

277
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: our former producer Mattio dribble the ball. He's got his

278
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: left arms checking it at all times. That was so beautiful.

279
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: I will say, I think they want it. They want

280
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 2: it for great Popovich, who made his return to the bench.

281
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: He was away for a couple of games because of

282
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: a medical procedure, so they had to win it for

283
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: pop and they did that. But these two teams are

284
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: looking looking at the bottom of the standings and the

285
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: old tankathon dot com.

286
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: Did you see it was going around yesterday? Uh, someone

287
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: caught a pick of two Spurs fans heading into the arena.

288
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: The guy in front has Tank on the back of

289
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: his Spurs jersey for the number, and then the guy

290
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: following him has webban Yama. I believe the number was one.

291
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they always have to watch.

292
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: They gotta be bad exactly. At least it's pretty good.

293
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: But I don't think it was last night. I think

294
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: it was a game or two before. But they were

295
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: probably pissed with the result. You know they now are

296
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: think are tied.

297
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: They'll be all right, they'll be all right.

298
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 5: You want to be the guy that has the web

299
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 5: Yama jersey tank for Tank four. I guess maybe they'll

300
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 5: be bad again next year, probably, Like I mean, if

301
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 5: they get the number one pick, probably not still gonna struggle.

302
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: You get weared again.

303
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he may have the long Jovi. If they don't

304
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: get Webb and Ya and that guy's kind of screwed.

305
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: They might get an American Express assurance.

306
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: We were we were debating, Uh, you know, the idea

307
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: that big tasty is a good nickname, and we were

308
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: trying to like come up with like who should get

309
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: that Moniker and I was trying to make case Sion

310
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: should get it because it's big nasty for Coarl Swimson

311
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: Zion the Big Tasty. But what about Tank.

312
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 5: It's a great nickname and I don't get great nick name.

313
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite characters from the Matrix.

314
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 5: Which one is he?

315
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the guys that's uh, he's

00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,359
Speaker 1: just like on the computer, Uh.

00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 5: Dodgers brother.

00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, I.

00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,479
Speaker 5: Brother have a Matrix family tree.

320
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I think he might die spoilerler one of them dies

321
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: for sure again shot the older brother, the younger brother. Anyway,

322
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: point is Tank also a good nickname, So this fan

323
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: could get, you know, cross his fingers and hope, like

324
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: a Kenny Lofton Jr. Or something, makes his way to

325
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: the Spurs and takes number Florida.

326
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna say that the Big Taste

327
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: is a good nickname for Webbin Yama. It's not bad.

328
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: It's got a tasty game. Yeah, French food's tasty.

329
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, it's not good. Yeah, all right, final game

330
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: last night. Bam Adebayo Butler lift a Heat past the

331
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: Kowhi Lis Clippers one fifteen one ten tasks. We talked

332
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: about it that Florida back to back after they had

333
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: lost that one in the match. Make the Clippers with

334
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: Kawhi and Paul George no Kauhi in the back back situation.

335
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Not a surprise there, but they still lose here to

336
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat, so they go oh and two there

337
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: on that little Florida trip.

338
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: Talk about tough shot making. This came down to Jimmy

339
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: in the last couple of minutes, the classic Jimmy going

340
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: into bodies, being the smaller guy going into a body

341
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: but just using his strength to get enough space to

342
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: be able to get it off. And then the classic

343
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: Jimmy talking trash, Reggie Jackson covering him.

344
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: Well a couple of times, staring down the stratt matched

345
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: up on him.

346
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then doing the motion of just get

347
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: out of here. It's kind of like a get out

348
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: of my way motion, which was weird. Paul George allowing

349
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: Reggie Jackson to cover him a little too easily. I thought, PG,

350
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: you want his length, his length on him, But this

351
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: also so good. I don't think that the the gap

352
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: between the two teams was bigger than six for a

353
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: long Yeah.

354
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: It was really close. Twenty five lead changes, eleven ties

355
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: in a game that was close basically all the way

356
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: until Jimmy sort of took over until the final eight.

357
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: So that's what it was. That's what it came down to,

358
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: jim time.

359
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: One of the wildest rumors in NBA history is that

360
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler could be the illegitimate son of Michael Jordan.

361
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: It's not true, but it's a hilarious rumor to me,

362
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: and like, I guess, like the dates don't even match

363
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: up of the possibility of MJ having a child in like.

364
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: Eighty eight, what's your algorithm?

365
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: But anyway, I do love watching these games from Jimmy

366
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: Butler where he goes full edge down the stretch. That's

367
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: what he turns into here. He did it what earlier

368
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: in the week, maybe two or three games prior, where

369
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: he did the exact same thing. It was like, all right,

370
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: it's Jimmy time against the against the Celtics. Really won

371
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, So I guess my point is I

372
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: believe this for just he just take over this game

373
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: and bam was awesome too, really really good. Who's putting

374
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: together a good little run here in terms of trying

375
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: to get the heat back to five hundred and back

376
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: in the mix. Any thoughts on this one, Not too

377
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: many thoughts.

378
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 5: I mean, Jimmy scored the last eight points, like you're saying,

379
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 5: he did it against the Celtics. Was there maybe like

380
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: a Kings game as well, that he scored the last

381
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 5: I don't know, five or six, there's something along those lines.

382
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 5: But he has saved them more than a few times. Yeah,

383
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 5: already this season, there's still not even five hundred when

384
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 5: he's in the lineup right now. But as long as

385
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: he's playing, they got a chance because when it comes

386
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: down to it, he's at least willing to take the

387
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 5: final shots. He's going to get a shot up for

388
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 5: the most part, and Bam has been playing really, really well.

389
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 5: It's just kind of the rest of the mix around

390
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: him isn't always gonna be reliable. But they had enough

391
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 5: threes last night that they were, you know, able to

392
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 5: hang close enough to the Clippers, who were kind of

393
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 5: on fire.

394
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: From Yeah, you do see the importance of just having

395
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: Tyler hero a shot maker and a guy especially can

396
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: hit three seat A couple late in that fourth quarter

397
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: that it's like they're a different team, and no, Lowry,

398
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: he's not playing this one. Who you know, he'll he'll

399
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: go one for six from three, but then he'll have

400
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: those games where we'll go, you know, four to seven

401
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: and give you some three point shooting and they desperately

402
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: need it. But yeah, I thought Hero was big. And

403
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: then Jimmy just took over. And again, I'm with you,

404
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: it's like, what do you do? Okay, after the first

405
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: one where he just abused Reggie Jackson just took him

406
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: down on the block and scored over him. It's like,

407
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: you might, Paul George want to fight through a little

408
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: bit harder to stick with him here. And also Jimmy

409
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: got Canard on him at one point and that was like,

410
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, that was more bully ball and I'll just

411
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: go through you on this one.

412
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: It was unfortunate because he didn't even have to fight. Really,

413
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: they were sort of was just there two guys on

414
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: one side of the floor. They could have easily just

415
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: said switch. It wasn't much of a battle to get there,

416
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: So it was Jimmy time.

417
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to a new segment here on

418
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: The Drop Podcast. Called buying or selling stocks sort of yeah,

419
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: stocks sometimes down down recently. All right, buying or selling.

420
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: Here's here's how this is gonna work. I'm gonna give

421
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: you some teams again that are usually in like sort

422
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: of the middle of the pack. We're trying to figure

423
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: them out, and you're gonna tell me whether you're buying

424
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: so you're like sort of high on them their chances

425
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: to get it going, either maybe title content or whatever

426
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: like go up the rankings or selling where you're like, huh,

427
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: not convinced, don't think we're gonna see it and uh.

428
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: And we'll go from there. And we got some award

429
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: based ones as well, if we have a little bit

430
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: of time. But let's start with the LA Clippers fourteen

431
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: and thirteen. They're ninth in the Western Conference. Are you

432
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: buying or selling the LA Clippers?

433
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: This is a real tough one, It really is. I

434
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: say it's tough. Just lied. It's simple. Do you do

435
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: you believe Kawhi Leonard is going to be healthy the

436
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: rest of the season, because we just saw what they

437
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: did with the Miami Heat. They've got enough supporting players,

438
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: very good supporting players. But toom Cannard Zubots will not

439
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 2: go anywhere. He's solid as a rock. He's a he's

440
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 2: a g I see, he's a bond. He is not rising,

441
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: he is not falling. That guy is steady. So is Kawhi.

442
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: Leonard gonna come back and play a lot of games.

443
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 2: And so it's it's very difficult as a prognosticator of

444
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: stocks to really say, yeah, the guy's gotta come back

445
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: or not. It's it's just it's it's just a feel

446
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: thing or just you know what, whatever you you think

447
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: of Kawhi's recovery, his rehabilitation, I'll say yes, I guess

448
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: I wrote sorry, I think.

449
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: The Clippers in this one. It really should have read

450
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: or I should have proposed it as Clippers as a

451
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: title contender. This isn't Clippers get into the playoffs, Clippers

452
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: even win a playoff series. They built this team with

453
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: two superstars with the idea of, like we can win

454
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: a chip, we should be competing for a chip. They've

455
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: made some playoff runs and all that. Injuries have been

456
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: him in the ass with these guys. But that to

457
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: me is like, are you buying or selling that come

458
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: the end of the season, the Clippers will be one

459
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: of your five or six teams where you're like, yeah,

460
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: they could win a title. It's all.

461
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: The answer is the same, though, it's whether or not

462
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: he comes back and plays Okay, Well, George's what would lead.

463
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: You to believe that. I mean, like, if you are betting,

464
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: you're not going to bet on that.

465
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: I'm not going to bet a lot. There's no doubt

466
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: about that. He is air quotes healthy, but he's not

467
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 2: playing a lot. But it is a very very strange

468
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: comeback from rehab. But we're Raptors fans. We've seen some

469
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: strange rehabs from Kawhi Leonard before. This one's stranger. Though.

470
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I will counter that with when he

471
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: didn't play those twenty or so games with the Raptors,

472
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: they were still good and I think they were a

473
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: better team than maybe this Clippers team. And then the

474
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: other part is he did play sixty games and I

475
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna get anywhere close to that. And

476
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: the other thing is can he just come back in

477
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: in you know, March, start playing full time? And is

478
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: and that we always debate this is like is that enough?

479
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: Can you just plug a superstar guy in there? Change

480
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: the sort of the makeup of your team, how you're

481
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna play, and then can you just roll through the

482
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: playoffs or do you need an eighty two game season

483
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: to some extent to build those reps of comfortability with

484
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: your squad to then make the march. I don't know

485
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: what the answer is. I think it's I think it's

486
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: more that the ladder than it is well just put it,

487
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: just save them till April and let them play. I

488
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: just don't buy that's way basketball works. But what do

489
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: you doing byner selling the clips.

490
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 5: Big sal Big time self for those reasons exactly? I

491
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 5: think they look like a team that doesn't have any

492
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: cohesion right now that's trying to work in two heavy

493
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: usage guys and Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who you

494
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 5: don't know if they're gonna be out there every single night.

495
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 5: They have no chance to really build on their chemistry.

496
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 5: And I think that they're gonna be punting too many

497
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: games as the season goes on for them to really

498
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 5: turn it on and become a challenger. Here, they're looking

499
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 5: like a playing team to me, Like, how do they

500
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 5: get up into the top six is the question? Because

501
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 5: there are so many good teams above them, Phoenix, Memphis,

502
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 5: New Orleans, Denver. That's a top four that seems pretty solid.

503
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: You have to think Golden State's going to make their

504
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 5: way up the standings at some point. I think Dallas

505
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 5: is a more reliable team. At least right now, the

506
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 5: standings are pretty tight, but they need to go on

507
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 5: a run to establish a actual play off seed. And

508
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 5: how do they go on a run if you can't

509
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 5: rely on Kawhi Leonard, Yeah, who has already said that

510
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 5: his recovery is going to take two years. He's not

511
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 5: even one hundred percent in on this season. He's in

512
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 5: on next season. So maybe next season the Clippers. I

513
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 5: mean we say that every single year with the Clippers,

514
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 5: but I don't know. Kawhi is gonna play like forty

515
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 5: games this year. Is that enough when he's your best player?

516
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 2: No way. There will be some hearts broken. In the

517
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: Western Conference. It's a good point about how many damn

518
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 2: good teams there are. The Sacramento Kangs are around, the

519
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: Utah Jazz around. To add to all those really good

520
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 2: teams things that the Clippers have going for them. They're

521
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: a top five defense right now. Yeah, and so that's

522
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: going to happen every night.

523
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they win when I mean what they're five

524
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: and two When Kawhi does play.

525
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hasn't played a lot and he doesn't even

526
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: play a.

527
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: Lot of minutes. When he plays, he plays like what

528
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two minutes.

529
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: Something that you know negative is this is year four

530
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: of this experiment, which seems crazy, but this is getting

531
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: on in years here. This is it's not the first

532
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: year when they were really good. You brought up that

533
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: first year. They were a monster that year coming out

534
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: of the Gate top five offense and defense. Now they

535
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: have a bad offense because they kind of don't have

536
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: an identity. They really just rely on those two guys

537
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 2: to make plays. So, yeah, it's a crapshoot. If I'm

538
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: a buying stock man, I think the stock is probably

539
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: at its lowest that it's going to be this season.

540
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: So it might just be a by low opportunity. But yeah,

541
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: a lot of teams there in the West are going

542
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: to have their hearts broken. They're going to be playing

543
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: teams fighting for the playoffs. There's just too many good teams.

544
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: One of those teams, let's go to the Minnesota Timberwall

545
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: five hundred right now twelve and twelve. Obviously Cat is

546
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: out for three or four weeks here, they're elevens in

547
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: the Western Conference, so it's all jumbled up buying or

548
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: selling on the Wolves now, I wouldn't be saying Wolves

549
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: as title contenders, but Wolves obviously getting up there in

550
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: the Western Conference standings, winning a playoff series, you know,

551
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that, like making some advancement off of last

552
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: year's run or which, you know, getting into the playoffs.

553
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 5: I guess I'm a minor cell here then, because I

554
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 5: think they're gonna have the same season as they had

555
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 5: last year. They're looking at the play in tournament right

556
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 5: now because they're in the same spot as the Clippers.

557
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 5: They need to go on a massive winning streak in

558
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 5: order to climb up the standings, just because there's so

559
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 5: many teams that have got off to a better start

560
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 5: than they have. That being said, Rudy Gobert's teams for

561
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 5: whatever reason, have gone on a lot of win streaks

562
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: over the past few seasons. You know, teams give up

563
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 5: in the middle of the season and a go bear

564
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 5: defense will show up, so maybe they improve and there

565
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 5: is a little bit of getting to know each other

566
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 5: between Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert. There's a hilarious clip

567
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 5: going around. They ask Anthony Edwards, so you guys got

568
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: Rudy's back, going in, going back to Utah. What makes

569
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 5: it a big one? You're playing at Utah? Rudy used

570
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: to play for the Jazz. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we

571
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 5: definitely want to win. That's the only goal for Rudy too.

572
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 5: Did he know he played for the Jazz? I mean,

573
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 5: I know that Anthony Edwards knew who Rudy Gobert was

574
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 5: because he trash talked to him and said Kristaps Porzingis

575
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 5: is a better rim protector than him. But maybe he

576
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 5: thinks it's a different guy, a different go beart.

577
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: That's possible, Like Anthony Edwards lives in his own world.

578
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: Yes he which.

579
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: Was fine, funny.

580
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't want to answer that question or he

581
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: just wasn't even listening. I don't I don't think he.

582
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: I don't think he's a big Rudy fan.

583
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 2: But I think this time without Karl Anthony Towns is

584
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: forcing them to get along. This is the best stretch

585
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: of Anthony Edwards season. The last few games he's awake.

586
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: It seemed like the beginning of the season, he wasn't

587
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: all that good. That's the guy who's going to take

588
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: them places. And I do think there is a run

589
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: in this team. Okay, so you added a big guy here.

590
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: It's a very weird scenario where you're clogging the paint,

591
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: you're clogging the lane. Everybody's learning it. There is definitely

592
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: a learning curve and they're five hundred. I don't think

593
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: it can be worse. And I think this is gonna

594
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 2: be the best stretch here as we get into the

595
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: second stretch, as we get into them going into Utah

596
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: for Rudy, I think they're gonna have a good game tonight.

597
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: It is tonight that they're playing. Anthony Edwards is the key.

598
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: I think he's been sort of floaty the first quarter

599
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: of the season, but he has gotten better. To me,

600
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: the last five games, he's been good, and so I

601
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 2: think that's I think they'll learn. I think they'll learn

602
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: pretty quick.

603
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: Eric has a fun question here in the stream team

604
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: would you rather have the Wolves or Clippers roster? He

605
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: thinks it's a tough question, do you as well, who

606
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: do you rather have? I guess fully.

607
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: Healthy this season. Let's say because you can't think long term,

608
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: long term?

609
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: Okay, fully healthy? Is this season to make a playoff?

610
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: Push fully Clippers?

611
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, yeah, yes, I'll take the guy who's won

612
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 5: finals MVP.

613
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: There you go, yeah twice.

614
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Baron never gonna be healthy. So that's that's

615
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 5: another problem to me with the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards is

616
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 5: playing his best basketball right now. They're looking, Okay, what

617
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 5: happens when they bring back their face of the franchise?

618
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, Karl Anthony Towns is coming back at some point. Yeah,

619
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 5: and it has not worked so far.

620
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go over to the Eastern Conference team

621
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: that played one last night, the Miami Heat twelve and

622
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: fourteen tense in the Eastern Conference, though, I would like

623
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: to note they're like, are they four games back from

624
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: the fourth seed in the East? It is tight, Like

625
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: they're not that far behind, like the Nets who currently

626
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: sits two games Jesus, well, there you go, tight? Do

627
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: you do you believe in the Heat? Are you buying

628
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: or selling the Miami Heat?

629
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: This is a weird season. Ever since Butler came in

630
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: with the extensions on his hair, I just didn't know

631
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: what to make of this season. They can easily say, hey,

632
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: we're a playoff team, we'll sort of make our way

633
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: through the season at five hundred and figure it out.

634
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: Then they've got these guys coming into the lineup in

635
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: classic Heat style your Martins yesterday. They start a man

636
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: and by the name of Drew at point guard I've

637
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 2: never heard of as a two way player with O,

638
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry and gave Vincent. It feels like the Heat

639
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: are gonna get it going in twenty twenty three. So

640
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: buying or selling, I'd buy. I'd buy at this point.

641
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: I would buy as well. But the issue is that

642
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: I keep running into is once we get to the playoffs,

643
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: they're not this team currently as constructed. They're just not

644
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Bucks of the Celtics. But I also

645
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: think the Heat could beat any other team in the

646
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference in a potential series, you know what I mean.

647
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: So I guess in that sense, I'm buying, even though

648
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: they have a really bad record here, what about you.

649
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 5: Trey, I'm holding right now. I'm down on the Heat

650
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 5: in general, but they're gonna get better because they've played

651
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 5: the third toughest schedule in the league so far. Things

652
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 5: will get easier they will make a trade at some

653
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 5: point because this team, like you're saying, Skeets, this is

654
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 5: not a championship contending team. Pat Riley likes to win championships.

655
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 5: He doesn't want to finish the sixth. I do have

656
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 5: some concerns though, about them getting up to six I

657
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 5: think they're gonna need some good luck to do it,

658
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 5: because Boston and Milwaukee clearly ahead. I think Cleveland pretty

659
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 5: clearly ahead. Philadelphia and Brooklyn a little bit unsure, Atlanta's imploding,

660
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 5: Toronto is mid Indiana, and New York probably gonna fall off.

661
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 5: There's a chance that the Heat get up to sixth.

662
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 5: Well what's that do for you? Right sixth in the

663
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference, you're probably playing Cleveland. Okay, yeah, you can

664
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: maybe beat Cleveland. They don't have a ton of playoff

665
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: experience at this point. But then you're running into Milwaukee

666
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 5: in round two.

667
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly how I'm looking at it. Their next

668
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: nine games from Miami Heat. I've brought this up a

669
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: couple times. Let me just go through it, because I

670
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: think these are like sort of important to them, getting

671
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: up into possibly like home court of Vantish territory in

672
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: an Eastern Conference first round. They host the Spurs on Saturday,

673
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: the Heat too. Then they have a four game road

674
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: trip in in okay See and Houston. That is a

675
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 1: back to back there okay See in Houston. Then they

676
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: go to San Antonio, so they got two Spurs games here.

677
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: Then they have four straight games at home over the

678
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Christmas holiday, which is nice for them. Bulls, I mean

679
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: the Bulls, Pacers, Wolves, and Lakers, all those teams. I

680
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: just said it in my gut. It's like they should

681
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: go worst like six and three. I'm not saying they will,

682
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: but they should have that goal to go worse six

683
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: and three, if not better, and then that then they're

684
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: back over five hundred and you know, right there in

685
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: the mix, probably depending on what of those other teams

686
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: do ahead of them for the fourth fifth in the standing.

687
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: Stuff like that. I think this is a very vital

688
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: stretch to determine whether or not pat Riley will say no,

689
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: we got to shake this up and make sort of

690
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: sort of a move. So something to watch.

691
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: And I think a guy who will help who's coming

692
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: in their roster, like through their roster, is Victor Oladipo

693
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: just coming back. I know, we myself I thought Victor

694
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: Aldiepo may not be long for this league, but after

695
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: last year, they signed him to an extension and they

696
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: believe and they signed him to a decent money. It's

697
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 2: not a minimum contract nine per year for a couple

698
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: of years. He's only played two games. They are lacking

699
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: in offensive creation, just anything dynamic from their backcourt, and

700
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: I kind of just watching him the first couple of games,

701
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: I think he can He can really help. Their team

702
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: is a top ten defense. They just need somebody and

703
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: these guys to be healthy. You know, Hero and Butler

704
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: have missed it. A good chunk of Lowry and Lowry

705
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: I missed. I think it was his first game he missed.

706
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, started last year, I guess.

707
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, Lowry will be there in the end. It's

708
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: tough for Riley. They built a top heavy team here

709
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: with paying over ninety million for Lowry at a bio

710
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: and Butler to tear this thing down now, I doubt it.

711
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: I very much doubt. I think they're going to at

712
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: least give it one more try.

713
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: I'll admit something. When Tray came in earlier in the

714
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: week here into the Classic Factory saying, you know, why

715
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: aren't we dragging the heat after a couple brutal losses,

716
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: like look at what's going on. I hit up the

717
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: trade machine and I was like, they need some shooting,

718
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: and they need to if possible. If you're moving let's

719
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: say a Bam hypothetically, you would need to keep a

720
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: great center. So I'm like, why not Bam and Duncan

721
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: Robinson for the Miles Turner Buddy Healed, and then the

722
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: Pacers would have to send back draft capital in that

723
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: they got a bunch of first round picks. Some of

724
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: them are protected coming by way of the Celtics and

725
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: the cap and stuff like that, but they have it

726
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: to make that work. So I'm thinking, you know, move Bam,

727
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: get Myles Turner in there, and then Ad scoring in

728
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: Buddy Heeled because Duncan Robinson doesn't matter. You could also

729
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: do this with Caleb Martin if you want, if the

730
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Pacers didn't want Duncan Roumson. But the problem is I'm

731
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: doing this, I'm thinking on this, and then you see

732
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: BAM play like just stupid.

733
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 5: They would never trade it.

734
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: BAM's not the problem. Yeah, I know. I'm just trying

735
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: to like get them, like shake them up a little bit,

736
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: especially just get some more scoring, shooting, but they're not

737
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: doing it. And I I disgustingly closed my laptop after

738
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: it said trade successful.

739
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: After that, green box popped.

740
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 6: Up and the numbers work ROAs you should have done

741
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 6: that after Trey called the Raptors mid they are, which

742
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 6: they are, Yeah, they are, but they're.

743
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 2: They're gonna be a mid plus soon.

744
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 5: Okay, our middle.

745
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: Okay, well, this team is flirting in the middle too.

746
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: But our final team here in this segment, Brooklyn Nets

747
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: fourteen and twelve, fourth in the East. Yes, Brooklyn Nets

748
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: are four fourth in the East. Sort of cupt you

749
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: by surprise after this weird season, buyer selling on Brooklyn

750
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: and I think you almost like the Clippers. It's more

751
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: of a like a legit contender the Nets.

752
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 5: With well in that case, so okay, answer was My

753
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 5: answer was, hold, I think they're going to stay in

754
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 5: the top six, which I think is a successful season

755
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 5: for Brooklyn. It is, I mean, I mean compared to

756
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 5: last year. Yeah, that's what we're compared to Bar But yeah, okay,

757
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 5: they're not a contender. I don't think they are twelve

758
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 5: and seven since jacqu Vaughn took over fourteenth in offense,

759
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 5: thirteenth in defense, middle of the road, very little trade

760
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 5: chatter right now. This is the least drama we've had

761
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 5: around the Brooklyn Nets like these two weeks, these literally

762
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 5: these two weeks in the past four seasons. Katie's a hooper.

763
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 5: They can hang on to the top six. He's good

764
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 5: enough to keep him in the top six, is basically

765
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 5: what it comes down to.

766
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, as simple as that. And Kyrie on the floor

767
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: does help a lot if he is playing. So yeah,

768
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: this has been the best stretch. Yeah, no drama, And

769
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 2: if you look at their schedule, they could actually move

770
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: up in the standings. They do have a road heavy December,

771
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: but they are there are teams that they can beat there.

772
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 2: So I don't want to say they're a contender because

773
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: I will not buy into that. But my biggest question

774
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: is there's two months of the deadline. December fifteenth is

775
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 2: coming as well for the ability to trade guys who

776
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: are signing the off season. Are they going to move

777
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: a big piece we talked about pat Riley trying to

778
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 2: tear it down. Kyrie Irving is a free agent. What

779
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: what are we doing here, Sean Joe? What are we doing?

780
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 2: Are we looking at this as a as we.

781
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: Say, Pat, this is Sean, this is Joe. Also got

782
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: Joe on the call, Sean speaker, Hey, Andy here too,

783
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: And that's where the true mbscause out there. We just

784
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: named front office guys by their first name, and see

785
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: if you know who we're talking about.

786
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 2: Joe doesn't get in on the calls. I don't imagine.

787
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: It's not like Mickey gets in on the calls for

788
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: the Heat. I don't think so. So Sean and Patter

789
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 2: talk and uh, Pat likes taking on challenges. Kyrie take Kyrie.

790
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: They're not signing two extension the Nets, so that's that's

791
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: my my thing here. What do they do? I agree,

792
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: they're sort of a mid league team and this is

793
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: the best stretch of their season.

794
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: So a couple of things from the stream team Nets says,

795
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: excuse me, Ziggy says the Nets are quiet, which is

796
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: what they should want. I agree with that. And uh,

797
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: Carill here said I can't sell the Nets for Durant alone,

798
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: and this is his first buy today, So I see

799
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: you buy it out there, carrill I guess he was

800
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: selling on the other three teams, the Clippers, the Wolves,

801
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: and the Miami Heat. Yeah, but he's buying on the

802
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: He's buying on the nets because of KD alone.

803
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: But what of MASSI calls what a mess I calls wheels?

804
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: Let this wheels and deals with Pat that's getting a

805
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: little older. I know he's pretty sharp. He does one

806
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: hundred billion push ups a day. But massill Messiken can.

807
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: He can screw anyway. So Massie is now dealing with

808
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: the heat. Yeah, yeah, raptors heat trade.

809
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 2: Well what am I talking? I didn't need Pat. Yeah,

810
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: it's a three way deal.

811
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: You guys will close your computer and you've got the

812
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: trade machine going with that just made one, all right,

813
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: a couple of award based ones. Why not sure buying

814
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: or selling? Jason Tatum is MVP. He's the favorite night

815
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 1: right now plus two seven to five according to the odds.

816
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: It's basically this is very early, but it's it's a

817
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: three man race. According to the odds. Tatum's excellent play

818
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: on the team with the best record by far, Luca's

819
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: video game numbers, and then Giannis just like continually putting

820
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: up thirty and ten's on a very good Bucks team.

821
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: Just like that consistent excellence. He's plus three hundred him

822
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: and Luca, So are you buying or selling Tatum as

823
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: an MVP as the favorite? Big bye, big bye, big bye.

824
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 5: Thirty points per game right now, he's a career high

825
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 5: from the field forty eight percent, career high from three

826
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 5: to thirty six and a half. He rebounds, he passes,

827
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 5: he plays defense. Like for perimeter guys, two way players,

828
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 5: you're not beating Jason Tatum for the most part right now.

829
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 5: He also misses less than ten games a season, so

830
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 5: the availability is going to be there. I think that

831
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 5: Luca's numbers are insane, there's no doubt about it, and

832
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 5: they're gonna be insane at the end of the season.

833
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 5: But I think that Tatum is gonna have good enough

834
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 5: numbers plus team success that he's going to go over

835
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 5: the top, especially considering like ninety percent of the voters

836
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 5: are from Boston.

837
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: So good point. Okay, I was shocked. I didn't think

838
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: du wud say that. What are you saying?

839
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: You gotta buy? You gotta buy. I think the the

840
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: voters kind of the pendulum swings back to a team

841
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: that's atop the standings as well, after what happened with

842
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: Jokiches last year, a sixth place team. I think that

843
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: factors in a little bit, especially because they're so far

844
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 2: ahead of not only the Bucks but everybody in the West.

845
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: So they're going to have the best record it feels

846
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: like amongst any team. Plus what Tatum is doing the

847
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: best year of his career. Yeah, I got. I got

848
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 2: no problems with with putting the money down, even if

849
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: it's a favorite plus two to seventy five, go get paid.

850
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: What's the worst record the Celtics could even have if

851
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: they were to lose all their games, like forty seven

852
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: win or no, no, no, that doesn't make sense. It

853
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: was being twenty one, but like twenty one and sixty one,

854
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: I got, you would not win MVP. I I mean,

855
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: I didn't mean that. I meant more like, like as

856
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: if the Celtics really like yeah, yeah, like they're still.

857
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 2: Gonna be fifty team.

858
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: Yeah right, that's I guess my point. They're gonna be

859
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: like a forty seven forty eight win team and that's

860
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: I know it's different season season, but that's like what

861
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: you'll catch won it with, right, Yeah, as a six

862
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,439
Speaker 1: seed with that many wins. So you think best player

863
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: on the best team comes through this year. Last time

864
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: we had that was Gianness in nineteen twenty in that

865
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: shortened season, because you'll catch the last two years was

866
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: not that case on the best team record wise in

867
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: the league. But I'm selling I gotta be honest, just

868
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: because we've done this MVP thing for so long, it's

869
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: just it's a roller coaster.

870
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: Man.

871
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: You have a couple of weeks or you have a

872
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: month or two where you are the top dog and

873
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: it looks like, yeah, you've got the menu in your

874
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: hand at the MVP table, and then it gets past

875
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,919
Speaker 1: everyone's like, stop hogging the menu, man, it's my turn.

876
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: So just because of that, now, that's not to say

877
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: it goes like this, goes like this and we come

878
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: back to Tatum because they have sixty seven wins and

879
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: he's a thirty point per game score, and everybody's like, yeah,

880
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: that's fair, give it to him. But I don't know.

881
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna I guess a hold on that.

882
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to go buying more of it because

883
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: it just fluctuates so much.

884
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 2: Sure, this thing seasons change. Every season, it changes, but

885
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: I will say the last time a guy who won

886
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: the MVP with the sixth seed, it was Russell Westbrook.

887
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 2: Prior to Nicola Jokic winning it last year. The next

888
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: season after Westbrook won it, it went to a one

889
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: seed with James Harden. So yeah, yeah, know who knows.

890
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 2: I will say though, Yeah, Cels are just so far ahead.

891
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: It's it's an easy check mark for voters.

892
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: You know that they look like they are going to

893
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: be a sixty win team plus.

894
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, and when the next the biggest, it's gonna

895
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: be like a pretty big gap. It feels like right

896
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: now between them, I think the Bucks can well, they

897
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: could keep it, for sure, they could, they could close

898
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: the gap. But yeah, and he's probably isn't gonna.

899
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: Win Russell Westbrook as sixth Man of the Year. He's

900
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: the favorite plus one forty. Are you buying or selling

901
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: on that? Now you're selling?

902
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: That's that's the Lakers bump. That's wrong.

903
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: He's averaging tasks what fifteen eight and five? Not enough

904
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: twenty games off the bench. Obviously they've won some games here,

905
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: so he's made a difference maker there. And he's got

906
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: a pretty high usage percentage when he comes off the bench,

907
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: which makes sense, but not enough.

908
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: I love that he's made the change, it's incredible, but

909
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: the numbers aren't as good as ben math Benedict Methurne's number.

910
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: Matherines numbers should Yeah, they should drop a time.

911
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: They'll drop a time. A rookie will. They'll generally come down.

912
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: Probably has this. They got to play a lot of games,

913
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: not used to that.

914
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: It's a good story. It's a very good story for

915
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook to get it fourteen seasons. He hates it.

916
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: He hates it.

917
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: He hates it. He comes off the bench for one

918
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: game in the preseason, one game and he plays five

919
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 2: minutes because his hemmy gets tight, and he says, well,

920
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: that was weird for me. I didn't like that I

921
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: got injured because I came off the bench and I

922
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: just wasn't warm out there. Then he comes into the

923
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: regular season, he gives in to Darvin Ham. He concedes, Bam,

924
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: it's mellow all over again. But yeah, it's a great story.

925
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: But uh, I don't know you're selling to do Voters

926
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: like stories. I guess they do.

927
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, that's why it's a bye for me. This

928
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 5: is the rare six Man of the Year case that

929
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 5: has a narrative element. The guy hasn't refused to come

930
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 5: off the bench for the past few seasons, he finally

931
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 5: does it, and it turns the Lakers season around. If

932
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 5: they're able to keep winning some games. It's like a

933
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 5: double narrative. So that's why to me, I'm in on

934
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 5: this one just because it's like, look at this, we

935
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 5: might be having an MVP who wins sixth Man of

936
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 5: the Year. Bill Walton has done. Yes, it has happened

937
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 5: in the past, but yeah, I think that the narrative

938
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 5: will factor in heavy. And then you look at Ben

939
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 5: Mathurin's splits. He is getting worse every single month, less scoring,

940
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 5: less making. He's a rookie, that's what happens. But I

941
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,359
Speaker 5: don't know. It doesn't seem to me that the other

942
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 5: guys who are challenging here have passed Westbrook. Yet, like

943
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 5: Jordan Poole, he is now starting a little bit, doesn't

944
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,479
Speaker 5: seem to have the same verve. Right now, Christian Wood

945
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 5: is putting up numbers. Yeah, I think brogged into me

946
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 5: is maybe a guy who will be making a case

947
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 5: as well because the Celtics are playing so well. His

948
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 5: numbers are pretty solid. Off the bench, He's like over

949
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 5: fifty percent from the field at this point.

950
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: Right now, guards have won this award in ten of

951
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: the past eleven seasons too, usually goes to a guard

952
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: that comes in gets buckets, so maybe that helps the

953
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: case for Westbrook or Pool or Brogden. But Christian Wood

954
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: averaging seventeen and eight in twenty six minutes, shooting fifty

955
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 1: six percent from the field for from three so he's

956
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: an elite big off the bench. And Bobby Portis is

957
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: really really strong for the Bucks too, so if they

958
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: are really close to the Celtics in terms of record

959
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: at the end, he averges fourteen and ten. He has

960
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 1: started some games, you know, he gets the spots start

961
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: there when it comes to some injuries. But he's been

962
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: great for them too, So I'll sell on Westbrook though

963
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: though I love Trey selling the narrative. To me, it's

964
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: a good point. They'll have to have a little bit

965
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: better record. I think the Lakers will have to be

966
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: in the play in at the very like they can't

967
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: be like the thirteen seed or something like that. I

968
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: know people don't generally care about that in this award,

969
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: but you got a right you gotta be on a

970
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: winning teams, yeah, yeah, because then it's like then.

971
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 5: It's like who cares?

972
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't win some Games, Okay Final one

973
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: here Shay Gilder Alexander as most Improved buying or selling.

974
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: He is the favorite significantly minus one thirty five right

975
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: now according to the Vegasods. So are you still buying

976
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: on that? Because it's like who else gonna take it

977
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: from him?

978
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: Shay isn't fading. He's the favorite now and I think

979
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 2: he'll be the favorite at the end of the season.

980
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe.

981
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: I just believe the numbers are gonna keep up. The

982
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 2: shot profile is ridiculous. You know, he doesn't take a

983
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: lot of threes. He just muscles in and gets wherever

984
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: he wants. So I just don't think he's fading. Obviously,

985
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 2: it mirrors John Morant's Most Improved Player award, and that's fine. Yeah,

986
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 2: that's that seems to be where the most improved voters

987
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 2: are going Buying.

988
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 5: Okay, Trey, I'll hold just because it's it's either Shay

989
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 5: or Lowry Markinen right now, and maybe like voters will

990
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 5: give the award to the player who actually ends up

991
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 5: with the better team. Both Utah and Okay see falling

992
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 5: off a little bit here. Utah is hanging out a

993
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 5: little bit better. But I think shake Gil just Alexander

994
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 5: should be making his case for All Star in All NBA,

995
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 5: so he I don't know. It'll be interesting to see

996
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 5: if they go the exact same way, because this would

997
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 5: be the same boat as the John Morant boat last season.

998
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: SGA still averaging thirty one point three game six and five,

999
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know, is he a top fifteen player

1000
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: in the league on any given night. It feels like

1001
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: he's a out of the curtain right now.

1002
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are waiting. You're waiting to see him fall off.

1003
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 2: It ain't happen.

1004
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Uh, Tyre's Halliburton is second in odds. He's plus

1005
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: four to fifty, leading the league in assists. Is that

1006
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 1: the Pacers have surprised a lot of people. So he's there.

1007
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: And then Lowry Market and you said it, Trey, he's

1008
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: keeping the Jazz relevant. He's plus six hundred for MIP.

1009
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: I thought, in going to look at his numbers, I

1010
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, he got off to that unbelievable start.

1011
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: He must have slowed down right, not really before he

1012
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: caught this little illness that kept him out of that

1013
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: Warriors game. Over his last four games, he was averaging

1014
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 1: twenty five and ten with five three pointers made a game.

1015
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: Curry like out there Larry Marketing. So yeah, he's got

1016
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: to be in the consideration. But SGA outside of an injury,

1017
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, how does he not? I mean the thirty one,

1018
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: six and five other are stupid, stupid numbers.

1019
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 5: How about this taking from jp D. Yeah in the

1020
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 5: stream team who says we won't get another jamarant situation.

1021
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 5: The guy did give away his most improved player as

1022
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 5: soon as he won it.

1023
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: I don't deserve this.

1024
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 5: This is not an award for me.

1025
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: That was a weird thing.

1026
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's but we've gone down this slippery, slippery slope

1027
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. This is that was

1028
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: where it just kept going and going, and then it

1029
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: did get to a guy that was like an MVP candidate.

1030
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 5: We're getting back to basic skates per basketball.

1031
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So who allowed Market and then would be a

1032
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: selection even.

1033
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 5: Halla Market and Halliburton. I think Market in probably more so,

1034
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 5: just because he's a little further on in his career.

1035
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 5: I guess Bull Bull is a guy who will probably

1036
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 5: get votes as well. Yeah, we're going back, We're going

1037
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,240
Speaker 5: back to bas to basics.

1038
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: Well, we got to take our first break when we

1039
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: come back Worst of the Week nominee stnt go anywhere.

1040
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: Little known fact. That's Kevin O'Connor playing the guitar on

1041
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: that last age, Little tasty little licks. Let's get two

1042
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: worst of the week ladies and.

1043
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, the worst of the week, four nominees. You guys

1044
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: tell me who should take this home. First nominee I

1045
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 2: believe is the winner. It's Bradley Beal. Bradley Beal joined

1046
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: The No Chill Show with Gilbert Arenas and Josiah Johnson's

1047
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: called The No Chill with gil Show, and he was

1048
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: asked why he signed with the Wizards this past offseason.

1049
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 2: At first, he said normal type stuff. I believe in

1050
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: our team, we're gonna grow and all that. But nothing

1051
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: really matters until you say butt. It's the stuff that

1052
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 2: you say after the butt. So this is all that matters.

1053
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: I think we have a clip from it here. JD.

1054
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 7: On the flip side of it, the business side of it,

1055
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 7: there were no teams in the market, Oh wow, just

1056
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 7: free agency wise, was just being frank right, there were

1057
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 7: no there was nowhere else from me to go right

1058
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,120
Speaker 7: where I can oh, I can go win right and

1059
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 7: those teams that strategically wasn't wasn't would I want it right?

1060
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 7: So it just realistically I won't say my hand was forced,

1061
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 7: but like this is this was my best decision, best

1062
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 7: option on the table.

1063
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: So m I love the honesty. Yeah, you're right, that's

1064
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: that's an honest answer right there.

1065
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, people people can say, yeah, the honest, more honest

1066
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: answer though dollar dollar bills.

1067
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's saying it goes hand

1068
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: in hand. If if the dollar Bills were on the

1069
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: right team, or I could maybe have a chance to win,

1070
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: then I would have gone there.

1071
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 2: Well, either go full on lie and say I want

1072
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 2: to win here, or full on tell the truth the

1073
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 2: money and I had no better options, which is what

1074
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: he said. He literally came out and said it. And

1075
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 2: this isn't the first time with with Bradley Beal. He's

1076
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: half heartedly bought into the Wizards.

1077
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: Every time he signed a contract extent, he wholeheartedly bought

1078
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: into the payment from the.

1079
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 2: Most accepts you should he accepts it. Yes, he allows

1080
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 2: that direct deposit to come through every two weeks, but

1081
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: but he two weeks, Yeah, every two weeks in the NBA,

1082
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. Yeah, starting in October through April. They

1083
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 2: don't get paid in the summer anyway. Oh tough, tough

1084
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 2: to manage dollars. But what he's telling Gilbert Arenas and

1085
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 2: Josiah Johnson there, and you could tell it's in the

1086
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 2: Wizards like movie facility. It's their facility. There's a logo

1087
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 2: in the background. He allowed this interview to happen, and

1088
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: and he just he just sticks a heart. If people

1089
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 2: go and find this, if Wizards fans go and find this.

1090
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: A redditor deleted was the one who went and found

1091
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 2: it for us. He threw it up on Reddit. And

1092
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 2: that's got to be a stake to the heart, right

1093
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 2: Like if on the flip side of him side of that, I.

1094
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 5: Actually agree it a Bagley beal until he gets traded,

1095
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 5: because this guy's got to be in trade rumors every

1096
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 5: single season for the next five seasons, just like he's

1097
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 5: been in trade rumors the past five seasons. He's on

1098
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 5: the Wizards because they can pay him a lot of money.

1099
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 5: It's very much Carmelo Anthony in New York at this point,

1100
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 5: so you know what his family is set for life.

1101
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. That's true.

1102
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: Way to get that.

1103
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 5: Bag I love, I Love, I don't care about winning.

1104
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: I love when he first starts to say what he's

1105
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: gonna say about this idea? You like, there's no other

1106
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: teams out there that I wanted to go to. Josiah

1107
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: drops a Oh wow, He's like, oh, you're being honest. Yeah, okay, Yeah,

1108
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: this is the good stuff. Yeah, Trey's done his baby

1109
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: Ruth call with this one. I remember when bal signed

1110
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: the deal or we're getting close to him possibly signing.

1111
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: Was he going to was he not? You were like, yeah,

1112
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna sign it, and then he's going to be

1113
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: gone in like less than two years. We'll see if

1114
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: it happens. Yeah, but if I'm betting, I'm with you

1115
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: on that one.

1116
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's played his options. He signed a one plus

1117
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: one right, Wizards fans were so pumped for. Oh, he

1118
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 2: signed a two year extensions one year extension. Then he's

1119
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: getting paid a lot. I don't think the trade rumors

1120
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 2: have been happening this season.

1121
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: Really.

1122
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,479
Speaker 2: No, it's quite a down because it's just so much true,

1123
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 2: so much cash money.

1124
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: Also, not easy to trade a guy on a contract

1125
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: like that to make the to make the money work. Maybe, hey,

1126
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 1: maybe that'll be pat Riley's move.

1127
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 2: Brad Brad.

1128
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 5: Hey, Tommy, it's Pat Tommy point for you.

1129
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: I think Ted gets on that calls too much. He

1130
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 2: signed on that big deal. He signed off on that

1131
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 2: media room that they were doing the interview in a wild,

1132
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 2: wild one for Brad. Anyway, nominee number two, it's a

1133
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 2: more simple one. It's a visual one. But I'll explain

1134
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 2: it to you. Nick Claxton also known as Nick klax

1135
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 2: On of the Brooklyn Nets because they dropped the tea

1136
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: from his jersey for a while, how does it happen?

1137
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 2: Literally on his jersey as he went out to play,

1138
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: it reads C L A X blank space. Ohn. Aren't

1139
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: these things stitched in?

1140
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean you would think.

1141
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 2: They did correct a mid game. Somebody figured it out.

1142
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 2: They have multiple they have multiples here.

1143
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: I guess if you're going to name like Claxton, it's

1144
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: if you're going to lose one letter sort of a

1145
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: cool letter to lose still sort of works. He was

1146
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: on that game. I don't know if he was, but yeah,

1147
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: I guess worst of the week to who, to the

1148
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: manufacturers of the jerseys, to the staff there with the nets.

1149
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 2: I gotta go equipment manager.

1150
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 5: But I hope you got a first name ready for

1151
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 5: that one. That first name of the equipment manager from

1152
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 5: the Brooklyn Nets. All I see when that picture comes

1153
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 5: on is clacks.

1154
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: On, clacks off or karate kids off. You said the

1155
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: tea came back later on?

1156
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: It did?

1157
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 5: Oh?

1158
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: He got a technical in the game.

1159
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 2: Because usually they're joking. Today we're joking.

1160
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jeremy and the stream team for assisting

1161
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 1: with that one. Assisting sid give that man a tea? Yeah?

1162
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 2: Nice, Okay, you take it home. So usually they're hanging

1163
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: in the guy's lockers pregame right the jerseys are there

1164
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 2: was the tea on there? Did Nick? Nick? Probably just

1165
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: missed it that it was not on there. Maybe it

1166
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: came off in the wash. I don't know who knows,

1167
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 2: who knows? I can't get I can't wait to get

1168
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 2: to the bottom of that. So do you know what?

1169
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: Do you want me to get to the bottom of it?

1170
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: This is gonna be weird. But I found out last

1171
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: night one of the girls on our basketball team or

1172
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 1: YMC a basketball team, she's related. I think she's a

1173
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 1: cousin of Nick Claxton. Just found this out. I'm gonna

1174
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: do some I'm gonna do some investigative reporting into this.

1175
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: Out. Yeah, I would love to get an interview, not

1176
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 2: with Nick Accent, not with the equipment manager, but the

1177
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 2: cousin of Nick Klaus. I would love to interview the

1178
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 2: cousin of I learned this last That's cool, all right,

1179
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 2: third of four nominees here. It's another visual one, but

1180
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 2: I will explain it a Houston Rockets Twitter account because

1181
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 2: in anticipation of James Harden coming back to Houston, they

1182
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 2: posted this weird split screen of James Harden's face and

1183
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 2: their newish star, Jalen Green's face. So it's just half

1184
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 2: and half. So it's basically trying to to tell Houston

1185
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: fans this is the transition from our old star to

1186
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: our new star. But number one, it looks weird. Number Two,

1187
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 2: you're putting a lot of pressure on the young guy

1188
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: that you know you're going to be an MVP one day,

1189
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 2: and so I guess they got so much pushback they deleted.

1190
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: That's the worst thing you can do. Yeah, this is

1191
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: the picture.

1192
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, just they have very different faces. That's what makes

1193
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:56,959
Speaker 2: it look super weird.

1194
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Harden most of his hair on the

1195
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 5: bottom part in his face, Jalen Gray moves have his

1196
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 5: hair on face right like Yin and Yang.

1197
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they should have flipped Jalen Green's head upside

1198
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: down so his hair goes in.

1199
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,240
Speaker 2: And it looks weird because Jalen Green has two colors

1200
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: of hair. He's got a dye job on his hair,

1201
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 2: so it looks like at first I'd like, what was

1202
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 2: that James Harden's hair and Jalen Green's hair on the

1203
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 2: same side, But no, it's just half and half old

1204
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 2: half seas and the Rockets Twitter account gets the l

1205
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: here because don't delete it. What's the point. What's the

1206
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 2: point in deleting it? It's already up there.

1207
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was photoshop, but everybody loves the movie Face Off.

1208
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: Great movie, so true, right.

1209
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 2: That's very actually, yeah, definitely, that's definitely what I was

1210
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 2: thinking as well.

1211
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: Let's take my face off.

1212
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 5: I think the story is that was a ad libbed line.

1213
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 5: We gotta keep it bars.

1214
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: Nick Cage, Nick Claxton.

1215
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not? Exactly? Nick Cageton, All right, numbery

1216
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 2: number four, Isaiah Jackson's foot a Pacers player was flying

1217
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 2: out to Jordan McLoughlin, just flying out to him, and

1218
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 2: he booted him right in the grill. It's uh, if

1219
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 2: you remember Bruce Bowen, he took like this like a champ,

1220
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 2: I thought, though, Yeah, he didn't go down. It was

1221
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 2: a heel cat. He did not go down, did not

1222
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 2: miss a play. Jordan mcgloughlin was totally fine, just a

1223
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 2: straight boot to the grill as he flew by. It

1224
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 2: was a contest and a foul was called tom and

1225
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: foul no flagrant.

1226
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 5: Get a yellow card. World Cup fever is running rampant

1227
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 5: around here.

1228
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 2: Man.

1229
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 5: That that's great to see though. That's really like a

1230
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,280

1272
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 8: we were, I did a pickle report. I was talking

1273
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,919
Speaker 8: about my rainodes syndrome or what was the other word

1274
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 8: for it, not syndrome, phenomenon, that's it. And that's where

1275
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 8: stress and cold will drain the blood from you, constrict

1276
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 8: the capillaries in your hands and you know, make it

1277
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 8: very hard to hold a pickleball racket or a pickle

1278
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 8: or a pickle or really really anything. Yeah, but it

1279
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 8: got warm here in Atlanta, Yeah, really warm. So I

1280
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 8: mean the stress part was still there, but the cold wasn't,

1281
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 8: so I didn't have the same thing. Also, I was

Speaker 1: But anyways, they got a baby ref.

1332
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 2: A baby is not a ref reffing.

1333
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Yet they give it a little They had to, yahoy

1334
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: dom gave them a little referee onesie.

1335
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 2: God, it's cute as hell. You have to, right. They

1336
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:42,040

1337
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, So Dennis, Dennis and Rachel against Jonathan Sterling

1338
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 8: and somebody else I can't remember the name.

1339
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, not a not a ref, not a ref.

1340
01:03:56,040 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 2: But this guy is fit as hell right, and Rachel.

1341
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: He probably he played college basketball.

1342
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 8: And I assume so well, he's a ref like the

1343
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 8: rafter run a lot. Anyways, I'm always impressed by just

1344
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 8: how much physical activity they do. World Cup guys too.

1345
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 8: But anyways, uh, Rachel really, I mean in my original script,

1346
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 8: I wrote she and Dennis handed their asses to them,

1347
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 8: but she was like, no, no, no, don't say that,

1348
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 8: don't say that, just tone it down. So I just

1349
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 8: we we weren't shopted, and I just have Dennis and

1350
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 8: Rachel prevailed over current. She likes she likes Sterling. Uh,

1351
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 8: she really likes him. This guy is sexy as I mean,

1352
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 8: check Sterling. I also like that she thought that his

1353
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 8: name was Sterling. I like that name as a Yeah,

1354
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 8: it's first name, Jonathan Sterling.

1355
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Actually.

1356
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 8: But you know, the point is the point of all

1357
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 8: this that Rachel is getting very good at pickaball. But

1358
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 8: I think that she and Dennis prevail because.

1359
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, these.

1360
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:22,919
Speaker 8: Next EVO natural stress CBD complex, this stuff can help

1361
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 8: you destress so you can focus on the important.

1362
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 2: Tasks at hand, like the dinks and the slams. Terrence

1363
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: has started calling Rachel the hammer.

1364
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 8: Also, if you take one of these, you're not going

1365
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 8: to be distracted by your sexy sexy opponent.

1366
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 5: Like this sketch.

1367
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 2: And listen to this.

1368
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 8: Most CBD oil found in tinctures and gummies and capsules,

1369
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 8: achieves between two in ten percent of absorption absorption, which

1370
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 8: means at least ninety percent of what you think you're

1371
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 8: getting is actually getting wasted.

1372
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 2: Wasted. Where where does it go?

Speaker 1: I'm going pete, I'm going pool.

1376
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 2: If it's oil, that's a good point.

1377
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: That's a good point. If it's oil.

1413
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: water sports, scuba diving, and traveling. Huh I mention of

1414
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: pickleball so I wonder when this was written he might

1415
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 1: be new to maybe somewhat new. I hope you can

1416
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: update this, I hope.

1417
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 8: So all right, the car detailing, I have to befriend

1418
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 8: Sterling because my car badly needs a detail. Maybe he

1419
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 8: was if he's interested in doing it. It's kind of like,

1420
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 8: because I know, washing.

1421
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: A car, right, That's not how I take detailing cars

1422
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: as a hobby.

1423
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 2: But how do you take it?

1424
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: I think he's like into like sup up car wrenchhead.

1425
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah a little bit.

1426
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought that was getting into that.

1427
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, strange hobby. Isn't just I'm going to clean

1428
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: a car.

1429
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 2: It's definitely not I like cleaning cars. It's but I

1430
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 2: know my car clean. Look to him, he doesn't think

1431
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 2: he likes he likes vacuums. What is what his NBA bio?

1432
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 2: He puts the cows on cars.

1433
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 5: You can tell from the other interests. He likes being

1434
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 5: outside and that includes popping the shirt off and washing

1435
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 5: the car. Wow, you should show up to the court

1436
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:33,720

1453
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 1: specify if he's an Apple or a Google. And then

Speaker 2: Oh dancing, break dancing? Wow?

1460
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, you apparently can break dance. So there you go.

1461
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:18,719
Speaker 2: Sterling, Jonathan.

1462
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: No other NBA podcast in the world is going to

1463
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: give you a Jonathan Sterling NBA referee breakdown like that,

1464
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: and that is why you come to No Ducks. Yeah,

1465
01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 1: I love It's right, all right, we gotta take one

1466
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 1: more break when we come back. Pick them results tweet

1467
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 1: the night in rapid fire, don't go anywhere. Pick them

1468
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: results from last night. We already said it at one

1469
01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: point did matter when it came to last night's game

1470
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: because Denver won the game, but they were favorites by

1471
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: one and a half points, meaning they had to win

1472
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: by two or more and they didn't, So Portland actually

1473
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: wins the bet. Trey had it right. You're three and

1474
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: three TK in the month of December. Task falls to

1475
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: four and two falls still good record. I'm two and four,

1476
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: so I am in last place right now. What's tonight's game?

1477
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert is going back to Utah? Yeah, two and

1478
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 2: a half point dog, which I'm a little surprised by

1479
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz. Are you by two and a half

1480
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 2: points at home to Minnesota? Trey's got the Jazz win

1481
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 2: by three or more skeets and I got that two

1482
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 2: points to play with for the Minnesota timber Wolves. Wow,

1483
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 2: why are you feeling the jazzy's there? Trey? I'm usually

1484
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 2: the jazz lover on this.

1485
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're usually the jazz lover. But a home game,

1486
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 5: the booze will be flowing down.

1487
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 2: I guess will they boo?

1488
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, will they boom?

1489
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 2: Rudy go bear?

1490
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Nah, I don't think so.

1491
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 5: I think he didn't like force his way out.

1492
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't really said anything like negatively about the Jazz

1493
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: or he just.

1494
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 2: Came out and said, all right, they've got a really

1495
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: good homereck. They're nine and four at home, and he

1496
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 2: just recently said, we believe we could have won a championship.

1497
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 2: I know others didn't believe that. He still still thinks

1498
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: he can. And then he said there's the other side

1499
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 2: of it, like he still feels something for Utah. There's

1500
01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 2: the emotional sides. Now they won't boom, They'll have a

1501
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 2: good game.

1502
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,679
Speaker 1: Trey's got the Jazz winning by three or more points.

1503
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: Tessa and I got a few points to play with,

1504
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes it matters. We got Minnesota on the road. Yeah,

1505
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: we got Rudy Gobert back in Salt Lake City. John

1506
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 1: wall Is going back to DC and we have our

1507
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:21,120

01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 2: That's right.

1510
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: So I think it's like eight o'clock eight thirty on

01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,760

01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 5: Night is a poll from Bo sdis who says, do

1539
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 5: you want the NBA to call moving screens travels and

1540
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 5: carrying to the letter of the law. You want Jonathan

1541
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 5: Sterling blowing his wistle every time out there? The vote

1542
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 5: percentages I saw today fifty five percent.

1543
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: Say no, okay, let the boys walk.

1544
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 5: And that's the way it should be because John Moran, Yeah,

1545
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 5: he's carrying the ball basically every single time down the court.

1546
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 5: And he's also putting up an awesome highlights every single

1547
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,640
Speaker 5: time down the court. So I'm fine with it. But

1548
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 5: apparently dead is it because they only call it on

1549
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 5: Jordan Poole. That's why he's doing this.

1550
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 1: A lot started right, because Pool was getting called for

1551
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: all those travels and then yeah, and it started like, hey,

1552
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 1: if we're calling on Pool, why aren't we calling it

1553
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: on show everybody?

1554
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1555
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And now it's spiraled out of control and it's

1556
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 1: pretty fun to follow on Twitter.

1557
01:15:55,040 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 2: He's showing the Luca ones. Yeah, yeah, he does, that's

1558
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 2: for sure. But I'm surprised it's only fifty five percent

1559
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 2: that people are are in that camp. I thought it'd

1560
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 2: be like ninety percent. Let the boys watch the boys carry.

1561
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 2: It's kind of load, don't you think. Yeah, I just

1562
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 2: want to consistent. Just give me consistency, that's all I want.

1563
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want check this too. When you slow all

1564
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: of these plays down, all of them, they start to

1565
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: all look like travels by letter of the law. You

1566
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: see a real time, it's different, you know. And I'm

1567
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 1: not trying to stick up for the Sterlings and the

1568
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Lorens out there and the officials, but you know, it's

1569
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,160
Speaker 1: not easy. I've said it a million times before. If

1570
01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 1: you get on the referees case, go call a game yourself, okay,

1571
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 1: like any sort of high school game or even lower level.

1572
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: It's I don't know why anyone does it. It's the

1573
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 1: worst job in the world, but you start to at

1574
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 1: least feel for them a little bit. Guy, like, God,

1575
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 1: this is difficult. It feels like you can call everything

1576
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: if you want, and you got a pictures.

1577
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:01,560
Speaker 2: Traveling is the worst. Why would anyone do it? I

1578
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 2: think it's kind of like us. Couldn't do it athletically

1579
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 2: do the next best thing. People like being around the sport.

1580
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 2: It's the best seat in the game.

1581
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Isn't it.

1582
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 5: Brush to get to sit.

1583
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: At each corner? You know, there are people wired to

1584
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:19,480
Speaker 1: be a referee, though totally.

1585
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 2: Some people absolutely. They like sticklers. You can't don't play

1586
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 2: a board game with them. Hate it. They love calling rules.

1587
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 2: My friend, you guys know them, My homie Mike know me.

1588
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,839
Speaker 2: You love playing hockey became an NBA referees, a stickler

1589
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 2: for the rules.

1590
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: He just loves it.

1591
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 2: He just loves it. Do you remember being on the ice?

1592
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,759
Speaker 1: Do you remember our buddy Dub's friend Tony.

1593
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he loved it to basketball being a basketball

1594
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 2: ref he's a.

1595
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: Job, and he did. He did like a somewhat high

1596
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 1: levels at some point, at least like competitive rec league

1597
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: leagues and stuff like that.

1598
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 2: But not for me. Maybe something they just like to

1599
01:17:58,200 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 2: be fit as well.

1600
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 1: Good way to get up for fitness, forced fitness. That's

1601
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: my life anyway. Very funny tweet there, So go check

1602
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 1: that out if you have no idea what we're talking about.

1603
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Right now, the snitches are out calling everything on Twitter. Okay,

1604
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 1: let's wrap this up with some rapid fire fun. Jada,

1605
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 1: you got the questions this week? What do you got?

1606
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1607
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 8: After Trey Young had a disagreement the morning of a

1608
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 8: game with his head coach Nate McMillan, the Hot Star

1609
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 8: decided not to attend the arena.

1610
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 2: When didn't you show up for work?

1611
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: Skeets? Ah, there was once when I worked at a

1612
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 1: car factory and I worked the graveyard shift, so you

1613
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 1: would go into work on Sunday night. That sucks, right,

1614
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's just the worst. And I'm like nineteen

1615
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: twenty years old here, and so one day, one weekend

1616
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: got away from me a little too much Sunday fun day.

1617
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 1: So I had no choice. I can't go into this

1618
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: car fact of my kids, you know, like putting together,

1619
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: putting together like cars gear ahead. But I got my limits,

1620
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, so I had to just like just not

1621
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: go in. I thought I was gonna lose my job

1622
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: because they don't like that, you know, showing not showing

1623
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: up for a particular shift. But then they're also so

1624
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: desperate for people they're like, all right, just come back

1625
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 1: the next time. So that is the time I didn't

1626
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: show up.

1627
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 5: What was your factory job? What were you? Well, wheelman? No?

1628
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:33,160
Speaker 1: In this factory during the graveyard shift, I was basically

1629
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: part of like the cleaning unit, like go around. Like

1630
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 1: there was like there's only like ten people in this

1631
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: giant ass automobile car factory. So it was weird. It

1632
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: was a weird job. But then I eventually got a

1633
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: normal like gig, I guess, and was like on the

1634
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: line building cars. But you like, all you do is

1635
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: like tack wells. It's sort of fun, honestly for a

1636
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: little bit. After a week you're like, Okay, I'm tired

1637
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: of this, but yeah you get put who like dude clamp.

1638
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: If you've been watching and or right now and you're

1639
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: like far in, it's it's that that's what you did

1640
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: in a car factory, at least this one I was in.

1641
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: You'll know what I'm talking about if.

1642
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 2: You watch it and like later on, but uh yeah,

1643
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 2: team of guys.

1644
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: Team of guys. That's what we did, exact same thing.

1645
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 5: It would come down.

1646
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,719
Speaker 1: It was automated, right, and then you grab your two parts.

1647
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Everybody put their two parts in. Then we all have

1648
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:27,680
Speaker 1: to swipe it all clamps down the machine because now

1649
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: we're good to go. Nobody's gonna lose an arm or something.

1650
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: And then we just tackled. All you doing is putting

1651
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: that part in place, and then it goes up and

1652
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: then goes over to the robots to do the real world.

1653
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: So you're on a line, but you know, someone screws

1654
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: up down the line, Like Brody I told this story before.

1655
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: He tack welded the part to the machine, not to

1656
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: the car, and so then it couldn't like unclamp shut

1657
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: down for hours.

1658
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 2: Damn good job.

1659
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 1: Brody did it a second time. He did it later

1660
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:57,759
Speaker 1: that day.

1661
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 2: Said did they shock him twice? And our joke tasty?

1662
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 2: That's good. Didn't he also blow a fuse twice?

1663
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the potato back to backjack kind of guy.

1664
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 2: Well, I do say that it's a dumb rule or

1665
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 2: dumb saying in basketball that the best ability is availability

1666
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 2: hate it. But I will say in the podcasting world,

1667
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 2: the best ability is available to just show up, just

1668
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 2: show That's what we did for years. But we're not

1669
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,639
Speaker 2: going to show up in April. I guess. We talked

1670
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 2: about putting together the top ten regular season games. We

1671
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 2: need some time off to do that. As you said,

1672
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: we need a gap between just like just like the

1673
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 2: old bubble season. So when am I not showing up

1674
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 2: for work, it's gonna be April. We're going to take

1675
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 2: a few days off. I think I'm just just guy

1676
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 2: than all of us.

1677
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,599

Speaker 2: TVD, TVD.

1679
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: But it's changing already already.

1680
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 2: That's why I got well, I don't know the reason

1681
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 2: why we got here is because our best ability is availability.

1682
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 2: It's not true. Yeah, so we'll see, We'll see, Trent.

1683
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 5: I missed work on October seventeenth, twenty fourteen. Wow Baby Time, Yeah,

1709
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 8: made the rounds this week? Have you ever faked anything

1710
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 8: to look cool?

1711
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: Skeets Absolutely, very similar to Curry here, though we didn't

1712
01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: have the technology of the deep fakes that they have

1713
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty two when we were fourteen, yeah, thirteen,

1714
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: fourteen years old, my buddy Grish, your buddy Grish, our

1715
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: buddy Grish. We would shoot ourselves shooting the basketball on

1716
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: the giant camcorder. Shoot it guy, get the guy shooting

1717
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: it from fifty feet down the street, stop and then

1718
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 1: go up to the net and then have the ball

1719
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: just very gently go through the mesh. Stop cutting back

1720
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: to the guy down the street. Go crazy. We did this.

1721
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: We did this all summer long ones, and we got

1722
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: so advanced with it. We were then filming like those

1723
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: NBA Jam VHS tapes where it'd be like jojo jojo

1724
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,600
Speaker 1: jam and stuff like that. We would like film that

1725
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: graphic off the TV, splice it in to our clips

1726
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: where we're jamming on a seven foot high net. Oh yeah,

1727
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: but spoiler, it was all fake.

1728
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 5: It was all fake.

1729
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1730
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 5: Man, I was watching that next tape and I thought

1731
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 5: you were making this.

1732
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1733
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1734
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,440
Speaker 1: It was tough to do on those old crappy camquarders

1735
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: because it like they lagged all the time, so you

1736
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: had to like get down. It was a science to

1737
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 1: figure out like the actual timing of like okay, you're on,

1738
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,120
Speaker 1: but you couldn't say you're on and shoot it. Yeah,

1739
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: it's all head nods and stuff.

1740
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have these tapes.

1741
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: These tapes apparently exist, so I should get them on YouTube,

1742
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: throw them up on YouTube.

1743
01:24:55,320 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but faked anything to look cool. Don't have any

1744
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 2: cool magic tricks, but I'm trying. I'm trying to develop

1745
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 2: a few. You know, sitting around the dinner table with

1746
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 2: the little little ones, they got to be impressed by something.

1747
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 2: The best one I have, I took it from my

1748
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 2: father in law, is I fill up a cup with

1749
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 2: a liquid and I can do an old three sixty

1750
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 2: so the liquid doesn't drop. That's that's all I got. Yeah, kids,

1751
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 2: kids aren't really buying it quite yet, but yeah, that's

1752
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 2: that's what I do.

1753
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: There are raise liquids in the cup. They're like, no way,

1754
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 1: there's anything in there.

1755
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't know, but it's pretty easy once you

1756
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 2: get the hangout.

1757
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:32,920

Speaker 1: We had to do those things where we like did

1805
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 1: all these short form jokes so we could put in

1806
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 1: a million lines into our eyearbook. And then I read

1807

1808
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 1: of like that Janet And there were probably things that

1809
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: would get people canceled and stuff like this at this point,

1810
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 1: so don't bite Halloween. Well, I can't even remember them.

1813
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:28,760
Speaker 1: It was a cheap white shirt. I don't need it.

1816
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,840
Speaker 2: writing an entirely fake answer, but.

1817
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 1: On your shirt, on my shirt, turn around, imagine you

01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 2: Bunch around.

1835
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:51,960
