Speaker 5: all right, guys. Entertaining night in the NBA on Tuesday,

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid game winning dunk versus the Cavs, Kobe White

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 5: catching fire turning into Nate Robinson for the Bulls.

59
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: Incredible performance that was Abe.

60
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 5: We had Ice Tray and his Hawks winning Woe Boys

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: and games in the Mile High City. We got a

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 5: lot more that we will sprinkle in, I'm sure throughout

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: this show, but we are starting today by looking at

64
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: a few teams maybe in some trouble.

65
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 6: All right, NBA season's young, but there are there are

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 6: a number of.

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: Teams who have caused to be concerned about maybe their

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 5: immediate future right now. Some teams, yes, they shake off

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 5: that that early season rust. Others, though, they just never

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: break out of that funk. And you've got it, you

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 5: settle in for a long winter of disappointment. So if

72
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 5: you're a fan or maybe more importantly, a GM of

73
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: a slow starting team, the question is do you press

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 5: the panic button now or do you chill? So that's

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 5: what we're doing, going to go through a couple of teams.

76
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 5: If you guys are ready to press the panic button,

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: reach into the middle of the table right there, press

78
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 5: that big old red button, big button, and sound off.

79
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 6: If not, you know, we'll chill.

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 5: We'll talk it out, and uh, you know, maybe uh

81
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: settle some of the fans of these team's minds a

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 5: little bit.

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: All right.

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 5: So first team, let's start with the Knicks, all right.

85
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 5: They lost for the sixth time in seven games last

86
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: night to Kobe White and the Bulls. It was New

87
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 5: York's first game since team president Steve Mills and general

88
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: manager Scott Perry expressed concern about the Knxt level of

89
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: play following that embarrassing last to the Cats. Over the weekend,

90
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 5: New York's two and nine tied for the worst record

91
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 5: in the league with Gold State Warriors, which is wild.

92
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, But with the Knicks, is it time to panic?

93
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 7: No?

94
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 6: Anyone like to press the button?

95
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 7: Anyone to want to press the button.

96
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if you're going to take your button

97
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: about David Fizdalo, I would press the button because I

98
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 4: think he's in real trouble.

99
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: Wow.

100
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: Are you getting this straight from the next front off?

101
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: And I haven't.

102
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 6: You're pressing the button.

103
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: I'm pressing the button. As far as the Knicks, No,

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: because I don't think anyone outside of the organization was

105
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: expecting much more than this. Maybe a win or Hwy

106
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: five wins stops. I mean, They've been destroyed in a

107
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 4: lot of games, which is not great. But I think

108
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: the reason why I'm worried for Fizzdale is they have

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: the Mavericks in New York tomorrow night Thursday night. Then

110
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: they have Charlotte and Cleveland also at home. If they

111
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: don't win at least two of those games, then I

112
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: think Fizzdale is gone.

113
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 7: Wow.

114
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 5: I think Tree thought he may not survive the day

115
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 5: here after losing to the Bowl.

116
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: Well, everything you read it sounds like the NIXT front

117
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: office has laying the groundwork for Fizzdale to be gone.

118
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: Maybe you're right, Lee, I we haven't seen much about

119
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 3: about Fizzdale's job status yet, considering they just had a

120
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: huge fourth quarter meltdown with a rookie going off against them.

121
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: I guess maybe the fact that it was on the

122
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: road is beneficial for Fizzdale. But personally, I'm hitting the

123
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: popcorn button because I love watching the Knicks melt down. Skeets,

124
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: You're always saying the league is so much better when

125
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: the Knicks are good. How do you even remember?

126
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 6: How do you even remember?

127
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 3: It's been twenty years since the next.

128
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 7: Like what Kevin Durant says, The Knicks aren't good for

129
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 7: a long time.

130
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 6: That one year with Mellow where they were in the playoffs,

131
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 6: Yeah they.

132
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: Did, and then Marii Stadmeyer punched a piece of glass

133
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: and broke his hand. Even when the Knicks are good,

134
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: they're still bad and it's delicious. I'm drinking it in.

135
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: You're not worried, though, because you're like, what's the big deal?

136
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: This is what they were.

137
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 7: Always they should be Fans should be happy. RJ. Barrett

138
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 7: looks good. Otherwise, they're made up of a team that

139
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 7: didn't guys that didn't really work out in their situations.

140
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 7: So now that they've assembled a bunch of them, and yeah,

141
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 7: they tried to prop them up with some veterans to

142
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 7: make them a decent team. But all those veterans play

143
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 7: power forward. So yeah, they're two and nine. You should

144
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 7: be happy that they didn't sign guys to long term

145
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 7: deals that didn't work out in other places, those guys

146
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 7: like Alfred Peyton and even Julius Randall or you know,

147
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 7: guys that obviously weren't working out, like Dennis Smith and

148
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 7: then you that would be a next thing, that would

149
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 7: be a very next thing to do to just assemble

150
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 7: a bunch of those guys. So they're two and nine.

151
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 7: R J. Barrett, the guy the only top five pick

152
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 7: they have on their roster, is playing fine, So I

153
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 7: wouldn't panic. Yeah, if you're David Fizdale, of course, And

154
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 7: that's unfortunate, and it's unfortunate on Sunday that their front

155
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 7: office came out and did something very rare for a

156
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 7: front office to do. And it sure seems like James

157
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 7: Dolon's fingerprints are on that. Yeah, and maybe that bleeds

158
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 7: down to David Fizdale and that he gets acts and

159
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 7: doesn't actually get time to fix this thing. But it's

160
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 7: an nixy thing to stink, but it's it's all. It's

161
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 7: a it's a nixy thing to be also to have

162
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 7: their future mortgage, and right now it's not. And it's yeah,

163
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 7: it's just going to be a terrible year.

164
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: You're saying, at least they didn't sign, you know, Jerome

165
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: James to a big contract or something like that. At

166
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: least those deals that they did sign with all their

167
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 5: power forwards is not you know, the future. Well, outside

168
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: of Randall, who has not looked who's not looked great

169
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: this season.

170
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: He's not a disappointed option on a team, right I

171
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: don't think he's a caliber player, And uh, yeah he's not.

172
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: He seems sort of always confused. He's always sort of

173
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: team to make the wrong site whether he should be

174
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: driving or stepping back and taking a mid range I'm

175
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: not sure. I just don't have a lot of faith

176
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: in him as the best option on that tame.

177
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: Thank God for Kobe White last night, because I was

178
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: watching a good chunk of this game.

179
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 6: You know, yes, it was our pick the payoff game.

180
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 6: We'll get to the results.

181
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: You obviously know who who won the game and then

182
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 5: who's lost the pick them pick. But I'm watching it going,

183
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: what am I doing? Why am I watching this Bulls

184
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: Knicks game? It was pretty ugly, tight.

185
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 6: Game, man was Yeah, it was night, but then it

186
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 6: was great.

187
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 5: I'm glad I stuck with it with Kobe White catching

188
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 5: fire and raining the threes, and it was cool with

189
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 5: Kae Troy Williams in the audience as.

190
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 3: Well, smiling it up, looking like Jay Skeets walking into

191
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: the studio after the Raptors won the championship. Yeah, that

192
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: was It was a cool night. I do feel like

193
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: anytime I watch a Bulls game and I'm watching the

194
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: balls broadcast afterwards, I just want to put the word

195
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: funk at the end of every sentence. I'm like, man,

196
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: that was a great game, huh funk because that's what

197
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: Stacey King does to Neil Funk. Another three by Kobe White, Funk.

198
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: We're making a great podcast here, funk. So I don't know,

199
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: maybe that'll be my twenty twenty resolution. More funks stec King.

200
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 6: It always shocked me when I see it. What a

201
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 6: large man. He is a big guy.

202
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: Stacey King for sure watched the gout bro.

203
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: Just a big dude, I think, especially beside Funk too,

204
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 5: entiny little dude.

205
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: That's right, Funk.

206
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 6: That was quite a show there from Kobe Wit alright,

207
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 6: so you're you're.

208
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 5: Concerned about fistal you said, make it too or winning

209
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 5: two of these next three games, with some of those

210
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: teams being the Hornets and Cats. What happens Thursday night,

211
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 5: Let's say porzingis catches Fire has a monster game and

212
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 5: the Knicks, you know, get hammered by the MAVs in MSG.

213
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: That could be a catalyst for you could see the

214
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 5: overreaction or maybe it wouldn't be at that point if

215
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: they got beat by twenty four to thirty, will fizdeal

216
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 5: survey that you will even get to the.

217
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: Cat I mean, you know those fans are now so

218
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: impatient as well. If the Knicks tay to get down ten,

219
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: you can see there'll be some booing and they'll bet

220
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: five Fizzdale chants coming for sure. And the fact that

221
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: the MAVs got beaten at home by this NXT team

222
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: only on Friday night, you figure they're coming in like,

223
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: all right, let's get revenge here, Let's let's get this

224
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: one back. So it's that's definitely gonna be tough. But

225
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: let's say it is a close game or you know,

226
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: the Knicks pull off the win or it's closed. But again,

227
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: Cleveland playing pretty well right now. Oh yeah, Charlotte's scrap.

228
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 4: I mean, there's certainly no easy and that's the thing.

229
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: So if the Knicks lose a couple more games and these,

230
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: Fizdale is probably wishing they were on the road for

231
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: five games, you know, because then he's not at least

232
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: exposed to the harm fans there. But yeah, if they

233
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 4: if they lose, you know, if they lose to the

234
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: Knicks and then they lose one of those out the

235
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: two games, I think he's I think he's going.

236
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 5: All right pressing the panic button at least when it

237
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: comes to fizz deal next team, guys. According to our

238
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 5: own seam Sharan, Rockets guard Eric Gordon is expected to

239
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: undergo surgery on his knee and may miss up to

240
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: six weeks of action. James Harden has turned it on

241
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: as of late records very respectable for the Rockets seven

242
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: to three, but with the Eric Gordon injury some sluggish performances.

243
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: Is anyone ready to hit the panic button on the

244
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 5: Houston Rocket season, especially when you consider their expectations.

245
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 6: Anybody reaching for that big old red button.

246
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: I'm gonna hit a mild panic button, Oh a little,

247
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: just a little tip tip because Eric Gordon hasn't been

248
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: great to start the season. It's been a slow start.

249
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: He's about thirty percent from the field. Maybe that is

250
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: because he's been having knee problem with the explosions not there,

251
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: so perhaps this gives him a chance to get his

252
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: legs under it him and feel a little bit better.

253
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: But it also means he's going to be starting over

254
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: in the middle of the season. So if he has

255
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: another slow start after he comes back from surgery, that's

256
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: bad news for the Rockets. The key though for them

257
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: is that he's healthy in time for the playoffs. The

258
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: team is going to make the playoffs. If they have

259
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: any sort of hope of advancing and contending for a title,

260
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: they got to have their six good players healthy and

261
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: playing well. So it could be bad news, but I

262
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: think they'll be fine with Eric Gordon out. I think

263
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: that you know, Dan will houswill available to fill a

264
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: little bit of his role, maybe Austin Rivers takes on

265
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: a bigger role. We've seen Harden is balling right now.

266
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: So the points I'm not super worried about. But the

267
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: key is getting Eric Gordon playing like Eric Gordon because

268
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: he hasn't so far this season. If the knee surgery helps,

269
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: that's good. If it sets him back even further, even.

270
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: Worse, Yeah, their bench was giving them nothing anyway. So

271
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 4: I think it's just going to be James Harden shooting

272
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: and scoring more.

273
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 6: It's going to train average forty points.

274
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 4: I mean he might he might actually do it. I

275
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: think he's at thirty seven right now, and so not

276
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: a whole lot has really changed from last season to

277
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: this season. Harden is capable of just going on these

278
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: crazy runs where they win games. It might be one

279
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: hundred and forty to one hundred and thirty eight, but

280
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: the Rockets are okay with that. So yeah, it's it's

281
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: a big blow. Even though as try mentioned, he was

282
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: struggling so far this season. He had one decent game there, but.

283
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 6: Oddly enough, it was his last game.

284
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 5: I would say it was his best game of the

285
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: season versus the Pelicans, where he hit some you know,

286
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: shot six of eleven, hit some threese. But and here's

287
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 5: the weird thing, Mike dan Toni said yesterday. He said

288
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 5: about Eric Gordon that it's been bothering him from like

289
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: the middle of last year, this knee, so you know,

290
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 5: and Antoni said, I think he's probably relieved that he

291
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: can clean it up, get it going, get him back

292
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: stronger than ever. You do wonder like how serious wasn't

293
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 5: why didn't he have any sort of why.

294
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 6: Didn't the address it during the office and year Maybe

295
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 6: it made it worse obviously playing here, but he was

296
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 6: he's been struggling. Is putting it kindly, I.

297
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: Mean Tray said it, thirty one percent on the floor,

298
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 5: brutal from the free throw line even when he does

299
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 5: get there, twenty eight percent from threes, averaging like eleven

300
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: points per game. He was it's like not even gonna

301
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 5: be that. They're not really going to miss him because

302
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 5: we've been that poor of a player so far. But

303
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 5: you're right, if they're gonna go far in the playoffs,

304
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 5: you're gonna need aeric Gordon stretching the floor a little

305
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 5: bit and know and being one of your better players.

306
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 7: Right, He's been terrible, but last year they were so

307
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 7: desperate for guys to play. He was starting the last

308
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 7: half of the season. But now he's in his perfect

309
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 7: bench role until this injury, because they actually found a

310
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 7: guy in Daniel House who can play and and and

311
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 7: that's why I'm not.

312
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 6: He's banged up too. Yeah, so that's not good.

313
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely not good. It's definitely not good for a

314
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 7: team that basically mortgaged, you know, their depth year in

315
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 7: and year out. But I think it's better off than

316
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 7: last year. And again, Eric corn is stunk. James Harden

317
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 7: hasn't even played to his capabilities, and he's still scoring

318
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 7: thirty seven points per game. And they've started they've started

319
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 7: seven and three. Last year they started, you know, four

320
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 7: and seven and and still made a way found a

321
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 7: way to win fifty three games, I believe it was.

322
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 7: And they're still gonna They've they're kind of in cohesion.

323
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 7: You know, this is a team that their offense looks

324
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 7: great actually, which is nuts with Russell Westbrook. It's working,

325
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 7: and they'll decide to pick up the defense. It's when

326
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 7: they want. But yes, Siric Gordon is needed for their

327
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 7: final five. When it comes down to the last six

328
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 7: minutes of a fourth quarter, it's gonna be Westbrook and

329
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 7: hard and Tucker and Gordon on you know, in the

330
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 7: in the three four spot and Clint Capella. But right now,

331
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 7: these guys have play a lot of minutes. Though it's

332
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 7: a year in a year out. It's the exact exact

333
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 7: same thing. They found some with some minutes with Tablo

334
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 7: Cephalosha coming off the bench, a few for Tyson Chandler,

335
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 7: Austin Rivers. The same thing ever here Ben and Ben

336
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 7: McLamore is part of the rotation as well.

337
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: But yeah, now with the er Gordon Drew of course

338
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: out six weeks, did we ever get an update on

339
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 5: Jeryl Green. He's likely over the season, right, I'm pretty

340
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: sure that they they won't have him.

341
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 7: But it's not worse than last year. It's not. And

342
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 7: they kind of knocked off the Warriors if if they

343
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 7: were a little bit better, you shouldn't be worried. There's

344
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 7: not where he's gonna be worried, all right.

345
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: Moving on, Brooklyn Nets blew a huge lead in a

346
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: bit of a heartbreaking loss there to the Jazz on Tuesday.

347
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 6: The Nets led by fifteen points to start the third quarter.

348
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 6: They were up eight to start the fourth.

349
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 5: They were up one twelve to one to ten with

350
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 5: about two minutes to go, but they coughed up a

351
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 5: nine to two run to close the game, dropping their

352
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 5: record to four and six.

353
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 6: After ten games. Here, four and six for the Brooklyn Nets.

354
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: Is it time to panic? I hitting that button. I'm

355
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: not hitting that button at all. The Nets, to me,

356
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: are not super different than they were last year. They

357
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: spent a whole bunch of money to bring in Kyrie

358
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: Irving and Kevin Durant. One of those guys isn't gonna play.

359
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: You look at their point differential, they're about a minus two,

360
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: but they lost the game to the Suns. By twenty

361
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: they've only played ten games. You throw that one out

362
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: there about even, which is where the Nets were last year.

363
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: They would play a lot of close games. D'Angelo Russell

364
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: would hit some clutch shots and that's how they got

365
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: a lot of wins. That's what it's going to be

366
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: this year. They're gonna play a lot of close games.

367
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: And if Kyrie Irving's able to go into a mobile

368
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: view and get his buckets, then they're gonna win their games.

369
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: If he doesn't, they're not. This is not the year

370
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: for the Nets to be panicked about anything. It's seeing

371
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 3: what you got with the young guys, and uh, you

372
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: know it hasn't been great, but uh don't I'm not

373
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: super worried about it. Their best player is yet to

374
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: play he's not going to play this year, so what

375
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: are you panic?

376
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: Is it a big deal? Though we talked about this

377
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 5: in the preseason. I remember, is it a big deal

378
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: with the Nets don't make the playoffs this year? Like?

379
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 6: Is that? Are you extremely worried? Then?

380
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: Moving forward, even though Kevin Durant is in theory coming

381
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: back next season.

382
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm not extremely worried. I think that would I think

383
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: that would be worse for Kyrie Irving's reputation than for

384
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: the Nets as a whole. Because Durant is coming back,

385
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: their team is going to be better next year. I

386
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: think people if they go from a playoff team in

387
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: eighteen nineteen to not a playoff team in nineteen twenty

388
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: and the only big change is Russell for Kyrie, people

389
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: are gonna blame Kyrie.

390
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 4: Okay, oh for sure, and Kyrie for me, I don't

391
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: have the stat here, but the eye test tells me.

392
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: When that ball moves around, the offense for Brooklyn is

393
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: so much better. But when Kyrie does get into his

394
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 4: you know, sort of iso almost James Harden mode, he

395
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: can score. We know he can do that, but it

396
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: just doesn't feel that the Nets are playing. That's the

397
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: way they want to play. Yeah, they want to get

398
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 4: that ball out there.

399
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 5: And lastly, it was a good example of Kyrie having

400
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 5: a bad fourth quarter.

401
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like two of eleven. He didn't make a

402
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 6: basket over the final seven.

403
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: And he took the game when he shot there, which

404
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: you know he missed. Yeah, you fine, you know you're

405
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: going to hit something. You're going to miss some of those.

406
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 4: But that's just one of those ones where I don't

407
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 4: know if the stats back it up or not, but

408
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 4: it just looks different when that ball is moving around.

409
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: You're like, okay, yeah, I can see this is the

410
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: sort of offense by committee. But then there are times

411
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 4: where it's Kyrie. It's just like I'm just going to

412
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 4: go and score here, and it works sometimes but not always.

413
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, they had that game last night, couldn't close

414
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 4: it out because the net the ja excuse me, weren't

415
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 4: all that great themselves. There were a lot of guys,

416
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: I mean, Mitchell Conley and Joe Ingles couldn't hit a

417
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: three pointer. You know, it was sort of like they

418
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: hit six, they won the game. Something like that. Yeah,

419
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 4: six for twenty six they went, but it was their

420
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 4: defense kind of that held up. But also partly because

421
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: the Nets offense I did. I just sort of think

422
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: slowed down to a bit of a grind and in

423
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 4: the last quarter.

424
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 7: That, yeah, it does with careering. That's what happens. Kenny

425
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 7: Atkinson hasn't been able to integrate him perfectly, and they

426
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 7: get to the end of the games and it's the

427
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 7: Carie Show and sometimes it goes in and sometimes it

428
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 7: goes out. As we said, but they've had, you know,

429
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 7: some hearte breaking glasses with the timber Walls and then

430
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 7: the the Jay Crowder shot with the Grizzlies, and this

431
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 7: Jazz one where they were up fifteen. This it's beautiful basketball.

432
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 7: It's Brooklyn Nets basketball up until the last few minutes

433
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 7: and then it's hey, it's like a fifty percent shot.

434
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: It's a fifty percent chance that Kyrie's hero ball is

435
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 7: going to work out or it's not going to work out.

436
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 7: And that's where they are. If Kenny Atkinson was integrating

437
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 7: him better, I don't think we would be seeing hero

438
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 7: ball every single possession the last three minutes. It would

439
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 7: be more like the first forty five minutes of games.

440
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 7: And I think they would have a better record if

441
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 7: they got more out of Joe Harris. Joe Harris went

442
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 7: dark in the last few minutes because Kyrie took you know,

443
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 7: he missed his last six shots in that game. They

444
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 7: got into great guys. More. I think one good thing

445
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 7: is that Jared Allen is starting at center. They had

446
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 7: this little experiment with DeAndre Jordan's starting over him the

447
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 7: man who came over as you know, one of the

448
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 7: three Musketeers and the Kevin Durant Kyrie Irving trio. That's

449
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 7: a good thing. But they went from Brooklyn Nets basketball,

450
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 7: everybody sharing it, everybody being a part of the team too.

451
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 7: Now it's hero ball at the end of games. And

452
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 7: that's why they're kind of like a five hundred team.

453
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 7: They should be better. Though.

454
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: My hand is hovering over the panic button though, and

455
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 5: we're talking about like this Kyrie hero ball, trying to

456
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 5: integrate him.

457
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 6: Where's Joe Harris.

458
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 5: The offense is not a problem. The offense is truly

459
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 5: not a problem with the Nets. They can't stop anybody.

460
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: And I love Jared Allen. I mean, I think he

461
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 5: is a great, great defensive center, but the rest of

462
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 5: the roster leaves a lot to be desired on that

463
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: end of the floor. You know, especially when you are

464
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 5: missing guys like these are sort of like those little

465
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 5: sort of core guys like Aronde, Hollis, Jefferson to give

466
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: you some defense, Dudley.

467
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 6: To give you some defense, Ed Davis to give you

468
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 6: a defense.

469
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 5: Those guys all gone. They had a huge turnover. I

470
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 5: get all that, but they can't stop anybody. They're twenty

471
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 5: six in the league right now, and they can be

472
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 5: in all these close games as they want. If they

473
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: just get some stops, they win three of these games

474
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: we're talking about, you know, let alone trying to hit

475
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 5: the shots. They just get stops, they win. They're up,

476
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: they would win, but they couldn't. And a couple other worries.

477
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: Karros la Vert, what's going on with his thumb? Ye

478
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 5: on Sunday after that game. And I don't think we

479
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 5: know yet what's going on with him? Is he going

480
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 5: to miss a significant amount of time? He had an

481
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 5: AMRI exam I think before this Jazz game, So well,

482
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 5: maybe we'll find out later today.

483
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 6: And then why why.

484
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 5: Where was Dinwiddy down the stretch in last night's game?

485
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 5: I mean he kept them in it or he was

486
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 5: the only guy doing stuff there for the third quarter

487
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 5: for the nets. He didn't play I don't think the

488
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 5: final nearly ten minutes of the game, and I like,

489
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 5: I get it, that's when that's Kyrie's time. But that's

490
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 5: maybe when he doesn't have a going maybe get the

491
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 5: guy back in there.

492
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: That's that's I think I've seen a few nets people

493
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 4: sort of tweeting that, like there's a bit of an issue.

494
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 4: I think there with a little Strngpenser out there, because

495
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 4: I think that's the thing. He wants it in his hands.

496
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: But it's like Kyrie's like, no, I get it. I

497
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: decide what we're going to do here. So that's that's

498
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 4: an issue for Kenny Atkinson to figure out because Dimwitty

499
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 4: coming off the bench, has accepted his role and he's

500
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: playing it really well. And again we talk it doesn't

501
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 4: matter who starts as who finishes, and if his role,

502
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: if he's able to run the offense somewhat and knockdown shots,

503
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 4: then he needs to get the ball a bit more.

504
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: But tried telling that to Kyrie.

505
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kenny Atkinson, by the way, said we're four and six,

506
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 5: we're below average. There's things to build on. Our defense

507
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: has to improve for us to take another step. But

508
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 5: four and six is four and six. The league is unrelenting.

509
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 5: We are below average. I think our guys understand that,

510
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 5: you know obviously leaning into like if we get some

511
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: stops here and bring it up on that and bring

512
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 5: it up on that end of the floor, we could be,

513
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: you know, an above average team.

514
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 6: I think he's right there.

515
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 5: One thing about that game, you guys saw the Nets

516
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: appeared well, first they were they appeared like they were

517
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 5: gonna pull away as we talked about, and then Jeff

518
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: Green and Emmanuel Moodier sort of exploded for the Jazz,

519
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: getting some I think they combined for like six straight buckets.

520
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 6: That to open that fourth quarter.

521
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 5: The Nets late though they won the referee challenge, the

522
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 5: coach's challenge, I should say, they had the jump ball,

523
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: they jump all go bear lost to DeAndre or to Jordan,

524
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 5: and that gave the you know, the Nets a chance

525
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 5: with the Kyrie Irving shot there.

526
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 6: I was thinking, though, how important are these.

527
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 5: You know these the referees throw with these jump balls.

528
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 5: We need to get some sort of system. I think

529
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: where we got we have the technology.

530
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 6: There should be like a.

531
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: Hole in the middle of the floor, all right, so

532
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 5: when we have a jump ball situation. Start, you put

533
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 5: that ball in it you like press it down, like right,

534
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: you back up, the guys get ready to jump, they

535
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 5: got to stand there or whatever, and the ball you

536
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 5: press a button. That ball perfectly one like ninety degrees

537
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 5: from the floor, you know what I'm talking about, like

538
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: straight up.

539
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 6: Straight as an arrow.

540
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 5: So there's no you know, you know, human error with

541
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 5: the reft throwing the ball to one side or the other.

542
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: Why can't we do that?

543
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 4: Well awesome, yeah, but but guys are always they don't

544
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 4: white for the ball to said to hit the peak

545
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 4: before they tap it.

546
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 6: You'd have to know.

547
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: My point is that thing would go up like twenty

548
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 5: feet in the air well and then it would be

549
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 5: the fun it'd be fun it coming down.

550
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 4: Well, in that case, why not have a drone coming?

551
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: Sure, well we saw what happened with a drone before

552
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 5: Gordon took Like, because I'm just a little wired.

553
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 4: If you could a great big hole in the ground.

554
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: No, but it covered it like you pops up yeah yeah, yeah, right, okay,

555
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 5: like you know you go see Madonna.

556
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 6: I'm sure it pops up from the stage at times.

557
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 4: I'm like yeah, yeah, okay, okay, yeah, I think there's

558
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 4: something there. There's something there, because it's pretty hilarious watching

559
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 4: most jump balls that they it is. You know, no

560
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: one seems to be able to get them right.

561
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 5: But it's like one thing, who cares really about the

562
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 5: jump ball at the start of the game. Okay, then

563
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 5: you didn't throw a perfect Who really cares? We're going

564
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 5: to one hundred possessions to figure it out. But we're

565
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 5: getting a lot of these, like with these coaches challenge. Okay,

566
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 5: it's overturned. Well it's a jump ball. I mean it's

567
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 5: a damn important jump ball, is what I'm saying.

568
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 3: That's right. You're gonna start seeing highlight mixes on YouTube

569
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: clutch jump ball. I want to see Zach Harper do

570
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: a power rankings on the Athletic for best jump ball

571
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: tossers amongst referees. Maybe another solution they could do is,

572
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: like we saw that video from TikTok where those four

573
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: kids were standing and looking straight down, just throwing the

574
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 3: ball up in the air. See and who it hits

575
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 3: in the head? Do that put two guys, have them

576
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: toss it up. Whoever smacks in the head, that's who

577
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: gets the But you play after they get smacked them.

578
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 6: Let's keep brainstorming this jump all jump ball idea. Yeah,

579
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 6: we can make it better.

580
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 5: Good quality win there from the Jazz, though, you know,

581
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 5: back to back looking pretty sloggish, but you know, pulled

582
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 5: it out down The st really relied on their defense

583
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 5: and Rudy Gilbert was huge eighteen to fifteen, two blocks,

584
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 5: two steels. Good game from him. All right, final one here, guys.

585
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 5: Thanks to a brutal third quarter, the Blazers couldn't recover

586
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 5: from a double digit deficit in the fourth.

587
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 6: They lost one oh seven ninety.

588
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: Nine to the foxless Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Blazer's fifth

589
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 5: loss in six games dropped their record to four and

590
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 5: seven in the Western Conference. Is it time to panic

591
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: when it comes to the Portland Trail Blazers?

592
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 7: Absolutely? Oh, you just smashed it four out of four

593
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 7: and seven. And Damian Lillard cannot play any better. He can't,

594
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 7: He literally can't play better than this. He's got basically

595
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 7: career highs across the board. He's basically fifty forty ninety

596
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 7: second in the NBA, scoring thirty two point five points,

597
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 7: leading the league in minutes played as well. How how

598
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 7: can he do anymore? It's really up to C. J.

599
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 7: McCollum to step up because I've got no faith. And

600
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 7: I'm sure Blazers fans are the same in their three

601
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 7: four or five situation with guys producing in their front court, and.

602
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: Especially without the words Rodney Hood too, who's missing some

603
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: games here? I know that's I mean, I can't believe

604
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 5: I'm saying that, but they're actually they're missing a wing

605
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 5: player like Rodney Hood.

606
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they're missing Yusifner Kitchen Gake time, but that's

607
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 7: not happened. He's not coming back for several months. So

608
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 7: I'm sure the Blazer's front office is looking to make

609
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 7: a deal.

610
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 6: Some come on, let's go, what's the deal. Who's the

611
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 6: forward coming in?

612
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 7: Yeah? They need a Ford. They're desperate because they're relying

613
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 7: on Mario hiszon ye a lot. They're relying on Anthony

614
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 7: Tolliver a lot.

615
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: They Whiteside is honestly a massive player for them. When

616
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: he is one hundred percent engaged and trying, they look decent.

617
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: And it's just on Whiteside though.

618
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has.

619
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: Exactly right. Sometimes he's going to give you ten boards

620
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: and eight points in six minutes, and sometimes it's going

621
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: to be three fouls. You just never know what you get.

622
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: But he is maybe the third most important player on

623
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 3: the Blazers and that's a tough spot to be. So

624
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what the trade is, but I

625
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 3: would not hesitate to put Anthony Simon's in it. He

626
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 3: doesn't have a huge deal, but if a team is

627
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 3: asking for him, I feel free to come off him.

628
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: I know he's been a great player. He seems like

629
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 3: a guy that you could build around. But you got

630
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: two great guards and you need something else.

631
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 6: You so you're maybe for so what for? I mean,

632
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 6: like maybe not a Gallinari.

633
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 3: I don't care. I mean honestly, I wouldn't. I would

634
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: do it for Gallinari too. If you're trying to make

635
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: it to the playoffs, then you got to have better players.

636
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 3: I mean, Simon's is good, but he's still coming off

637
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: the bench and he's still at best your third guard.

638
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think i'd go trading him though, for

639
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 5: what could be a five month rental.

640
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 3: You got to give something up to get something back.

641
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: It's not just going to be what team is saying.

642
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: Man Hassan Whiteside will take him for four months and that's.

643
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: That this is their window for a little it as well.

644
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 4: I mean, this is where they need to be competing

645
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 4: for a championship. The thing about the Blazers for me,

646
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: apart from the second game of the season at Sacramento,

647
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 4: they haven't had an easy win either. They haven't blown

648
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 4: anybody yet they beat the Hawks in overtime or their

649
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 4: last win on Sunday. Other than that, they beat the

650
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 4: thunder just and they also beat the Mavericks in Dallas

651
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 4: only closely. So every game seems to be coming down

652
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: to the wire. So again Lil putting up great numbers

653
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: but carrying so much of a workload. If he's getting

654
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: somewhat fatigued late in the games, I wouldn't be surprised,

655
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: because he's doing everything for that team. So you're right

656
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: there with yeah. And not only that, six of their

657
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 4: next seven are on the road, starting to night there

658
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 4: at home against the Raptors, and then they go for

659
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 4: six straight on the road. A couple of winnable games

660
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 4: in there, they play the Bulls and the Caves. But again,

661
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 4: when you're a team struggling like this, there are no

662
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 4: easy victories. So this really could almost sort of shake

663
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 4: their season here how they go on this run, on

664
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: this road trip.

665
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 7: If you want to be a glass half or person,

666
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 7: they have a pretty road heavy sced already to this point.

667
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 7: And then you add in that six game scad so

668
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 7: it's like five of their first nineteen games are at home.

669
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 7: So that's you know, that's tough, I guess, but you're tough.

670
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: And they have been slow starters over the past couple

671
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 3: of seasons, and this season they're finally dealing with turnover

672
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: in the starting lineup. They got three new starters, they

673
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 3: got a bunch of new bench guys, they've got youth.

674
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 3: Things need to be figured out, but it's tough to

675
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 3: do when you're playing the toughest part of your schedule

676
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 3: right away. Maybe they'll pick it up in the second

677
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: half of the season. Maybe when Nurkic comes back. He's

678
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: surprisingly good for coming off an injury. Yeah, I would

679
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: be a little nervous about that. But they need something,

680
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: They need something else besides what they got.

681
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 6: Let's hear from you guys.

682
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,800

Speaker 7: a higher turnaround, a higher higher number than I bought

728
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 7: them for.

729
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: I think especially the black and blue ones. You include

730
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: that video you slipping your shoes in when you're dancing

731

Speaker 7: Yeah, wow, send you a DVD.

733
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 5: Right so they can authenticicate it. Yeah, that's awesome. All right, Well,

734
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 5: we got some news here. According to multiple reports, LA

735
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 5: Clippers forward Paul George plans to make his season and

736
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 5: franchise debut this week, likely on Thursday against the Pelicans.

737
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: PG underwent two.

738
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 5: Shoulder surgeries during the summer, but he had his first

739
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 5: full practice with the Clippers and his teammates on Saturday

740
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 5: and had no limitations during that workout. So he's getting

741
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 5: real close here. It could be Thursday. I'm gonna be

742
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 5: watching this one anyway. I'm sure I think.

743
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 6: It's gonna be.

744
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 5: You think it's gonna be a natural fit with PG.

745
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 5: You just plug in Raybent in there? Or could this

746
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 5: take some time to add him to the mix.

747
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: I think it's going to take a few games. He's

748
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: playing with a whole new bunch of guys. It's not

749
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: like he's returning to a team that he's played with before,

750
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 4: so it's going to take time. They're also playing fairly

751
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 4: well right now, the Clippers. They've already integrated one superstar.

752
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,719
Speaker 4: Now they have to make an adjustment for a second one.

753
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: So it's going to be also on guys who see

754
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: a little bit of a cut in minutes. You know,

755
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 4: maybe a Montres Harra or someone like that. I'm not sure,

756
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: but you know, guys like him Landry Shammitt as well,

757
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 4: and he's so yeah, these things always take a little

758
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 4: bit of time. And whether or not he goes straight

759
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: into the starting lineup or comes off the bench, that's

760
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 4: going to be on Doc Rivers. But I think Clippers

761
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: fans have got to be pretty excited that you're getting

762
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: an All Star player back who's been a great, great player,

763
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: is a great two way player. But it's it's gonna

764
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 4: be an adjustment for sure.

765
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 6: Sure.

766
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: You know what was interesting NBA dot Com I saw

767
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 5: in their raid up said Kawhi is not on the

768
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 5: injury report for tonight's game versus the Rockets, So they

769
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 5: have a back to back here, Clippers have a back

770
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 5: to back tonight ver's the Rockets Thursday night versus the Pelicans.

771
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 5: Paul George probably coming back on Thursday night. Kawi Leonard

772
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 5: has been sitting out the first game of back to

773
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 5: backs generally, but he's not in the report for tonight.

774
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 7: Well, that's what that's what they're gonna do. Make sense

775
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 7: place tonight, that's what you think. Paul George place tomorrow?

776
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 6: Yes, so no Kawhi on Thursday night. No, fascinating.

777
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the secret to load management is if you

778
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 3: have two superstars, just switch them in and out right,

779
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: especially if they play basically the same position. Right, It's

780
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 3: like you can do basically the same things. It's unfair

781
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: for them to be getting Paul George. They have looked

782
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: at times like the best team in the league for

783
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 3: the first month of the season, and that's playing without

784
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: their second best player. Pat Patterson has actually been pretty decent.

785
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: Thanks for your service, pat Patterson. Will see again sometime soon.

786
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: Somebody will pick you up at the trade dead my mind.

787
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 7: Sure.

788
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was crazy seeing Pat Patterson hit threes again

789
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 5: three for the Raptors. Yeah, that was a bad so

790
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 5: And maybe, uh yeah, maybe Docke will just get really creative.

791
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 5: He'll never play Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in the

792
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 5: same games all season long.

793
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: Super secret.

794
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 7: We Yeah, I'm interested to see them playing fourth quarters

795
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 7: together because they also play with Lou Williams, who shoots

796
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 7: a lot in the fourth quarter. So that's my My

797
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 7: question is Kawhi Leonard last checked leading the league in

798
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 7: fourth quarter points? Ye, because he's a monster, Okay, Lou Williams,

799
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 7: that guy's going to shoot in the fourth quarter. Paul

800
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 7: George came here to get some shots, I think, you know,

801
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 7: and to be a superstar. So it's that that part's

802
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 7: intriguing to me. Landry Shammit's going to be out there,

803
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 7: He's going to hit some shots. And if they don't

804
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 7: play together a lot of the time, I guess that'll

805
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 7: just be what eleven times this season because they have

806
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 7: eleven more back to backs, they'll play some together in

807
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. But that's that's what I'm watching. They're

808
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 7: going to destroy though, because they are awesome.

809
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 5: We're gonna see I think we're gonna see that Clippers

810
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 5: defensive rating. I think they're eleventh in the league right now,

811
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 5: jump up significantly here. When you have Paul Paul George

812
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 5: to the mix too. If he's once he gets it

813
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 5: actually back into sort of game shape, hurts Zach Harper

814
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 5: on the Ding, saying, Paul George is looking a little

815
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 5: bigger than normal.

816
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: Cold.

817
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 6: You couldn't it wasn't one hundred percent sure of that,

818
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 6: but he's seen him around the arena.

819
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 5: Sure it's a little bigger, which makes sense if a

820
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: guy had two shoulder surgeries. I'm sure he's not doing

821
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 5: a ton of work.

822
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm definitely not getting those upper body bench presses.

823
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 3: So maybe the pecks are deteriorating. Then it would be

824
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 3: smaller widening. Yeah, it's just a redistribution of weight. He's

825
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 3: also I assume, I don't know if you can fish

826
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: after you have shoulder story. There does seem to be

827
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of upper motion. But maybe

828
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 3: he's got a bait cast and really slinging its side

829
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: arm chunking up on the boat. I don't know what

830
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: it is he's gonna I imagine he'll get skinny again.

831
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 3: I think he'll be fine.

832
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 6: All right. Next piece of news, Anthony Davis.

833
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 5: He's gonna be re evaluated today for an undisclosed rib injury.

834
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 6: In advance of tonight's game with the Warriors.

835
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 7: Eight.

836
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 5: He took a shot to the ribs in the first

837
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 5: quarter last night versus the Suns, went to the locker room,

838
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 5: got it wrapped, quickly returned shot nine to seventeen in

839
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 5: a great game, great road win. Against the Suns Phoenix

840
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 5: putting up one hell of a folk that was a

841
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 5: fun one.

842
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 6: Lakers pulled away.

843
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 5: E Laite Edie had X Ray's taken on the injury

844
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 5: after the game and those came back negative. So that's

845
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 5: a good saying. Probably not to worry. Maybe he doesn't

846
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 5: play tonight in a backback situation.

847
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised because he's also got a

848
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 4: bit of a shouldering him. Two that is that he's

849
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: dealing with. Yeah, it happened on a dunk, and he's

850
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 4: kind of been playing through it. I admire the fact

851
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 4: that I think he is trying to say, listen, I'm

852
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 4: not injury prone. I can I can hold a few

853
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: injuries here. But you're right on a back to back situation,

854
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: They've got a great win. They've only lost twice this

855
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: season playing the Warriors exactly. There's there's an opportunity there

856
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 4: for him to get a little bit of extra rest here,

857
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 4: but that you know, just not to skip over this game.

858
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 4: That was a fun game last night, like a home

859
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 4: game though for.

860
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 6: The Lakers fans in the deserts.

861
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 4: So but yeah, I think that the Lakers will be

862
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: closely monitoring this because they certainly don't want Davis to

863
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 4: miss any extended time.

864
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 5: And Kuzma his best game in the season so far,

865
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 5: twenty three points, hit some clutch threes there in the

866
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 5: close game. This was This was an awesome game. It

867
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 5: is fun having the Suns being an actual competent team again.

868
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 5: It helps with some of those late games later scheduled.

869
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 3: They're playing hard and they play fast. What else can

870
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: you ask for when you're watching a Lake game.

871
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 6: Yep.

872
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 5: Final piece of news, guys, the new Mavericks City Edition

873
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 5: threads have reportedly been leaked. According to Luca don Kicks,

874
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: the Jerseys are paying homage to.

875
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 6: Deep Elam Elm.

876
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 5: I'm not sure how you say that, which is a

877
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 5: part of Dallas known for its vibrant street murals and

878
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 5: quirky art galleries. That's what this look I guess is

879
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 5: based off. Again, excuse me, I don't know if it's

880
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 5: Deep Elam or Elam. Never been to that part of

881
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 5: Dallas either. The only time I was in Dallas, who

882
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 5: went to a boat show and the All Star weekend.

883
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 5: We did do that, but we went to a boat show.

884
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 5: It was snowing when we were in Dallas that one time.

885
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 7: It was crazy man a boat.

886
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 6: No, we were inside. Oh yeah yeah, but you guys

887
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 6: have seen it.

888
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 5: You know, I put the link in our dock there.

889
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 5: What's one word to describe these? Very interesting if they're

890
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 5: true MAVs City Edition jerseys.

891
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 3: Extreme Okay, these make me want to do the do

892
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: This looks like motain dew marketing between the color and

893
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 3: the graffiti font that they're using on the front. It

894
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily look at me like an NBA jersey, but

895
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: sometimes you got to take a chance and you know,

896
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: pop open a bottle of pop and guzzle ite caffing,

897
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: kicking three your cysts.

898
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 6: Extreme Tray goes with what about you guys.

899
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 7: It's tuone squad for me?

900
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 6: Okay.

901
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 7: It looks exactly like the script on the Brooklyn jerseys.

902
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 7: It's that cartoon sort of feel. Their new jerseys have

903
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 7: a BK y N. There's an m Avs on these.

904
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 7: I think they're slow playing that those two teams are

905
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 7: going to have a player in Space Jam two, which

906
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 7: comes out in twenty twenty one. Kyrie Irving's going to

907
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 7: be in it, Luca Chris Stap's not sure which one

908
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 7: one of those guys is going to be in it.

909
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 7: Now I'm looking at the page on Wikipedia.

910
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 6: Here would be the perfect like second Sean Bradley.

911
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, Heitwise also a MAV get him in there. Yeah,

912
00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 7: we got Lebron, Don Cheetle, Steve Harvey, don Cheatle, and

913
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 7: those are the three actors, and then there's a bunch

914
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 7: of I mean, those are three people playing themselves, I

915
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 7: should say. And then there's actors playing Savannah James, Lebron's wife, Lebron,

916
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 7: Brownie James, and John Bowser Bauman. So voice cast is

917
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 7: Eric Rouser as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. See tuone squad, Yeah,

918
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 7: all right, he goes toun squad.

919
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 6: What do you think?

920
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 4: Ugly ish? I need to see them on a player first,

921
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 4: but I'm trying to imagine a player running around. I'm

922
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 4: trying to imagine the shorts, and they don't look great.

923
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 4: I don't think these will be funnily remembered in years

924
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 4: to come, but I think right now every team is

925
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, who cares, let's just try something.

926
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 5: There were leaks too of a court, right, like a

927
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 5: pretty eclectic, vibrant sort of fitting the style of these

928
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 5: leak jerseys too, So maybe that helps the overall.

929
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it could because like, for example, last

930
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 4: night we had the Blazers and the Kings, and the

931
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 4: Kings had their throwbacks or their they're just so they

932
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 4: looked beautiful last night with the Court.

933
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 6: Oh those are us.

934
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: So let's those are based off of an a I know,

935
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 4: but I'm just saying, maybe if the MAVs have the

936
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 4: whole package together, maybe it looks a little prettier than

937
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: it does in this photo.

938
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: We will see at least they have green on them.

939
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 3: People want the Mavericks to go back to green in

940
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 3: eighties nineties style, so maybe this is a step in

941
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 3: the right direction. But feel free to drop that ish lee.

942
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 5: Little beach teas here for you, guys. As I said,

943
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 5: we're stepping on the beach. Later today, we'll have that

944
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 5: podcast up our mailbag only episode, but I want to

945
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 5: get us in the mood here doing this generally on Wednesdays, Guys.

946
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 5: This one from Mitch in Melbourne. Think he's watched Crocodile Dundee,

947
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 5: you must have definitely what's up no dunks, gentlemen. So

948
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,959
Speaker 5: I'm a huge Philly fan and have been for twenty

949
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 5: odd years. Last season I told some mates that the

950
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 5: Sixers should try and trade Ben Simmons for Trey Young

951
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 5: before ice tray gets too massive. Well, I believe that

952
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 5: ship has sailed. Do you believe the Sixers should be

953
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 5: so protective of an overrated point guard who can shoot

954
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 5: but won't and can't shoot free throws? This guy's Australian,

955
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 5: well from Melbourne, And who do you think would be

956
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 5: a good fit in his spot? Maybe a training camp

957
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 5: with Lightning Lee Ellis could do him some good, late Ellis,

958
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: never heard you called Lightning Leels anyway, Thanks so much

959
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 5: for a daily dose of hilarity wrapped in NBA talk

960
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 5: hashtag free JD. Again, that's from Mitch in Melbourne.

961
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 6: He's still there.

962
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: I good to know.

963
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you think Simmons? Mitch got up? Is

964
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 5: he overrated? Should they move them? Is he crazy?

965
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 4: It's it's it's interesting on the surface like that, because

966
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: I'm someone who's talked about I would think Simmons and

967
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 4: MB there is a little bit of congestion there, and

968
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 4: Trey he plays from basically the exactly if you saw

969
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 4: that game in Denvil last night, he was shoot him

970
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 4: from all over the place, so it wouldn't be bad.

971
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: You'd lose obviously something defensively. And it really depends on

972
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 4: how high you think the Simmons ceiling is, because he's

973
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 4: been a very good player through is now third season,

974
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 4: but he hasn't really improved. Will he improve, Will he

975
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: get that jump shot? Will he become a guy.

976
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 6: Who will take one?

977
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 4: Because because I mean, you know, it's no he In

978
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 4: the preseason someone said, you know why you can't shoot?

979
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 4: He gaes, Yeah, well, everyone's got a weakness and I

980
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 4: can do other things and I'm an all star and

981
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 4: he's all that stuff is true, but at some point

982
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 4: you figure that he's going to have to at least

983
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: step in. The show's Tristan Thompson was training three his

984
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,800
Speaker 4: last time. Oh my god, that that was the ugliest

985
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 4: looking three pointer. But Aaron Baines is a good example

986
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 4: for a guy who doesn't shoot a pretty shot. But

987
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 4: if you give him that three, he's going to take

988
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 4: it and knock it down. There's no way Simmons couldn't

989
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 4: and shouldn't be able to at least do that. So

990
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 4: I think the Hearks are not treating show no well, no,

991
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 4: of course not right now.

992
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 6: His race Mitch is raight.

993
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: That has Trey has been incredible, absolutely incredible. And but

994
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 4: again it's who do you think has the biggest ceiling

995
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 4: right now? Who would you say has a bigger ceiling.

996
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 4: It's it's good questions. It just depends on what your value.

997
00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 4: I guess I.

998
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: Don't think Young is the right kind of point guard

999
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 3: for a Joel Embiid though either they he's a pick

1000
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: and roll point guard, and Joel Embiid never runs pick

1001
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: and roll. They rarely rarely run it. You would think

1002
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 3: that they would do it. So even having Ben Simmons,

1003
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 3: probably they don't want to deal with the switches all

1004
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 3: this kind of stuff. But the kind of point guard

1005
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: that Joelingbiid really needs is like a Mike Conley type

1006
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: who can get him the ball on the post where

1007
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: he likes it, can score if the shot clock is

1008
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 3: running down, can hit threes if he needs to. Honestly,

1009
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 3: more of a ninety style point guard than a two

1010
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 3: thousand style point guard, because Joel Embiid is sort of

1011
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: a ninety style player. He's going to post up. He's

1012
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,439
Speaker 3: leading the league in post up frequency. He's great down there,

1013
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: and if you know, part of the reason that he's

1014
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 3: shooting so many threes, embiid is is because they need

1015
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: people to take threes. If he's able to just stay

1016
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 3: down there and post up all the time, he's even better.

1017
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 7: I think I can't wait for this postseason see what

1018
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 7: Ben Simmons has, because if you look at it from

1019
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 7: one perspective, hey, they could have gone to an NBA

1020
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,319
Speaker 7: finals last year if Kawhi's shot bounces a fifth time

1021
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 7: and goes off the rim. But why they were there

1022
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 7: and why they were in a seventh game was because

1023
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 7: of Jimmy Butler really, and now Ben Simmons wants that.

1024
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 7: I think he wants that pressure upon himself. He wants

1025
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 7: to be a point guard again. In that series he

1026
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 7: was just an off ball Chris Anderson just hanging out

1027
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 7: a lot of the time. But they're not far and

1028
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 7: so I'm looking forward to a twenty three year old

1029
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 7: in his third year now to see what he's got.

1030
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 7: And he's basically a foot taller than Trey Young. It's

1031
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 7: not a bad risk to take. And I understand mister

1032
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 7: Ozzie's worries here, Mitch from Melbourne, but I'm looking forward

1033
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 7: to that. That arrogance, that cockiness, that confidence that Ben

1034
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 7: Simmons has is a good thing about in the basketball world.

1035
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 7: I don't I believe in him, and I guess Mitch doesn't.

1036
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 5: But usually, like the cockiest guys in the NBA, the

1037
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 5: superstars that are cocky for a reason, they shoot someone.

1038
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 6: I mean he does. I love him.

1039
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 5: He does everything else incredibly well, especially for being still

1040
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 5: a young guy.

1041
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 6: He just does not shoot.

1042
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 4: He just refuses to and and like that is Trey

1043
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 4: Young last night was talking trash to the Nuggets bench.

1044
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 4: He's had a tweet out this morning telling everyone where

1045
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 4: the specology?

1046
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's right.

1047
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 4: When do you start knocking down shots, that's when you

1048
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 4: can talk talk the trash.

1049
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 3: Well, he went to the Ostar game man like he's

1050
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 3: a good player. And that's the thing is. I don't

1051
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 3: think that they're being too protective and wanting to keep him.

1052
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 3: He's incredibly talented.

1053
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 4: Yes, I agree, I agree, But because Trey.

1054
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 3: Young had forty points in the game, now they're supposed

1055
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 3: to trade him because Ben Simmons won't blast tweets. That's crazy.

1056
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 4: I'm not saying. I'm not saying try I wouldn't trade trade.

1057
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that Ben in in his years, in

1058
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 4: his three years, he hasn't shown any improvement at all

1059
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 4: whatsoever in the shot whatsoever?

1060
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: And you like shooting man, you love?

1061
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 6: Where are we calling you? Latening ly? Up?

1062
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 4: Reference?

1063
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 6: That AFL reference that I don't know about crocodile.

1064
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

1065
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 6: I'm not calling you no.

1066
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 4: Please don't. I've never heard that before.

1067
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 6: Okay, let's get let's get too. Of the night.

1068
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 7: Tweet of the night.

1069
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 3: Wow, we have talked a lot about the New York

1070
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 3: Knicks this week. I believe they've been on every show

1071
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 3: so far. Somehow they still haven't fired David Fizdale. But

1072
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 3: apparently there's something in the works because Tracy Morgan, Yeah

1073
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 3: that Tracy Morgan, the comedian tweeted last night. I don't

1074
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 3: usually get into sports rumors on Twitter dot com, but

1075
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 3: I am hearing some things about Mark Jackson and the

1076
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: New York Knicks. And let me tell you something. Let's

1077
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: make it happen. You guys want to see Mark Jackson

1078
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: coaching the Knicks. Seems like the perfect coach for the

1079
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 3: Knicks if you ask me, He's got the tie back

1080
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: to the team. He likes playing ninety style basketball. He

1081
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 3: told us Steph Curry and Clay Thompson were the best

1082
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 3: shooting backcourt in NBA history, and then proceeded to post

1083
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 3: up Harrison Barnes and Jermaine O'Neill time after time after time.

1084
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 3: This is exactly the kind of coach that knicks fans wont.

1085
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness, you really can sort of picture it

1086
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 5: really cruelly.

1087
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 6: Can I can see it. I just can see the

1088
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 6: press conference.

1089
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 5: I can hear him in my head talking on the

1090
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 5: young guys, on the man and believing and just trying

1091
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 5: to get them to rally around something.

1092
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 6: You're shaking your head lightning leelis Well.

1093
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: He basically told Jerry West the logo to leave practices

1094
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 4: when he was in Golden State. He didn't want Jerry

1095
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 4: West in there. He felt intimidated or insecure about Jerry

1096
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: West being around there. So what does that say about?

1097
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 4: The Funny thing is the players did support Mark Jackson

1098
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 4: the Golden State, no one else in the organization did,

1099
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 4: everyone else everyone, and they fired him. They took a

1100
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 4: chance on a guy who'd never even coached before in

1101
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 4: the league and it turned out pretty well. So Mark Jackson,

1102
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 4: there's been plenty of openings since he left Golden State,

1103
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 4: and he hasn't really been close to any and I

1104
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 4: think that's there's a there's a reason there.

1105
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: It was biting his time for the next.

1106
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be hilarious to see him in New

1107
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 4: York would be It would be absolutely hilarious.

1108
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 6: I do agree with that.

1109
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,640

Speaker 6: News Twitter Tracy Morgan.

1111
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 7: Maybe it's uh Mark Jackson who played with five other teams,

1112
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 7: the five teams in the early two thousands, and maybe

1113
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 7: not that Mark jacks.

1114
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,239

1148
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 3: My Chicago Bowls. The line was five and a half

1149
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 3: and the Bulls covered thanks to Kobe White almost covered

1150
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: the twenty five point line that I set for myself.

1151
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 3: My man's was on fire. Steve was texting me, we

1152
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: were going crazy, Skeates. You took the loss. You're the

1153
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 3: only one that took the next. So now we're all

1154
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 3: four and four.

1155
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 5: All start up, we are all tied button half way

1156
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 5: through November, all right. So there's a good chunk of

1157
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 5: games on this Wednesday night.

1158
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 6: Task which one we go in with?

1159
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 7: An interesting one here the Raps visiting the Blazers. The

1160
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 7: Reps continuing their long road trip Portland on a back

1161
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 7: to back, but they're the favorite at home a three

1162
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 7: and a half point line. It's a small line. Raps

1163
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 7: have been playing tough on this road trip. They have

1164
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 7: been very rafter like that's true.

1165
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 5: I hate to do this. Blazers are winning this one

1166
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 5: and covering. We were talking about it in the office

1167
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 5: earlier in the week. Just looking at that schedule, I'm

1168
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 5: just worried about the Wraps so losing some steam here

1169
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 5: right as they've been on the road. Like you said, Task,

1170
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 5: but I think it ends night and the Blazers could

1171
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 5: deciminally use a win. Blazers three and a half. They're

1172
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 5: gonna cover that easy.

1173
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 4: In my mind, I'll play the I'm a cot then

1174
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 4: give me the wrapper.

1175
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, pastraight.

1176
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 7: Tough on, I'm gonna go home or two? Yeah, I

1177
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 7: do believe, yeah, because you're not far off with that schedule.

1178
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 7: Lass skeets, but second half of Back to back lit

1179
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 7: alerts legs a little little non light. Couldn't find a

1180
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 7: work word for heavy that started with hell my luggish?

1181
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 6: Okay, you got raps?

1182
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't think of one. I got wraps.

1183
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was leaning towards the Raptors, but

1184
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: you're right. They kind of ran out of gas against

1185
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 3: the Clippers in the fourth.

1186
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 6: Quarters, so I'm gonna go with the Portland split on this.

1187
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: No, I was just smashing that panic button. But now

1188
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 3: I'm back.

1189
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 5: All right, we're all four and four, so Tray and
