38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: we had to wagie guys. Weadg you number twenty five

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: last night. Simons, that's right, Yes, the top shot Weggie

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: king himself Anthony Simons with the Blazers. Just a classic

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Weggie sort of like a little floater layup, nice one

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: over Dwight just sticks it near on the right side

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: good stuff. And yeah, that's number twenty five on the season,

44
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: halfway to fifteen, which feels good. Like to see pace

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: pick up a little bit. We had like seventy two

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: at one paw. What the pace? Yeah, yeah, it early days,

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: but that's okay, twenty five Wedgies. Okay, let's get to

48
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: the games. Jackson John Morant lead the Grizzlies past the

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: Knicks one twenty to one. Away Lee, you're always talking

50
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: about the Grizzlies. You're always cutting clips and jam on Twitter,

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: I am, and he had a couple more lessons.

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: I did that. Atmosphere the garden was bumping last night,

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: absolutely bumping' I mean like there is sore. There is

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: just something different about Medicine's quake on because it was

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: a big show last Now, Jah Moran, the hottest sort

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: of sto in the league right now, was coming to town.

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: Was he going to put on a show? He did

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: to a point, but he wasn't the star for the

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: Grizzlies last night. I think Jaron Jackson Jr. Was the

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: star last night. He was incredible and he had twenty

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 4: six and ten himself hit some big threes.

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: What about the.

63
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: Handle on Jaron Jackson Jr. For a guy six foot eleven.

64
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: He had a Steve Nash dribble the ball in, don't

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: get your other hand on the ball to pick it up,

66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: flicked it off the rim. He went inside against Mitchell

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: Robinson sort of spun him around then flingked it over

68
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: his shoulder and hit a huge three as well late

69
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: in this game, And that I think is also the

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: key here. This wasn't a blowout. It wasn't. It was

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: a double digit game for a lot of It wasn't

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: one of those traditional blowouts. Like the Knicks made it close.

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: They got it to six in the fourth quarter, they

74
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: got it to five in the fourth quarter. But what

75
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 4: happened after that? Every time it sort of every time

76
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: they had a chance to maybe get in into a

77
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: one or two possession game, something happened and it went

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: against the nixt Mitchell Robinson blocks a jar layup, but

79
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 4: then he throws it away on the fast break. Jark

80
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 4: comes down, turns into a Jaron Jackson three. It was

81
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: down to six. Jarmaran missus a floater. It found its

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: way to Desmond Bain. He hits a three. The Knicks

83
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: basically forced a turnover. It went to Zaia Williams Williams

84
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: and he kick. I want to say Zion Williamson, but

85
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say that.

86
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: Zaya.

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he hits a long too, and then the Knicks

88
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: poked the ball loose and it ended up in Bain's

89
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: hands again. Who Baine didn't shoot the ball well last night,

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: but he hit huge ones late he hits another three.

91
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 4: So jar Moran himself nine for twenty seven from the

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: field last night, twenty three points, zero for six and three.

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: He had his usual bag of highlights, all the sort

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: of trickery and magic that we love to see from him.

95
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 4: But honestly, it was Jaron Jackson. It was Zia will

96
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 4: Brandon Clark I thought was really really good for them

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: off the bench. And you know, we've been talking a

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 4: lot about the Raptors, how they're basically playing six and

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 4: a half guys right now. The Grizzlies are playing basically

100
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: ten dep If you're playing more than ten minutes, I

101
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: think that counts as as a legit rotation exactly. And

102
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: that's the thing with Taylor Jenkins. He's relying on everybody

103
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: on that team to come out. Tyas Jones has had

104
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: really good moments this season. Didn't have a huge game

105
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: last night, but when he was out there, he made

106
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: an impact, gets a basket, creates some things for the

107
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: for the Grizzly, So the Knicks. Mitchell Robins had a

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: really good game. You can see how important he is

109
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 4: for what New York does. Eight blocks last night at

110
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: both ends of the floor. He's active. But Steven Adams

111
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: had eight offensive rebounds himself last night. Only two points,

112
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: but it just shows again that the Grizzlies create so

113
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 4: many more second opportunities, and when guys are hitting those threes,

114
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 4: they're just backbreakers. The Knicks weren't able to get to

115
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: that point where it's like, okay, two three stops in

116
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: a row, and then go down the other end and

117
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 4: score themselves fourtyer I thought was good. He's been he's

118
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: the one who sort of bails them out of a

119
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 4: lot of stuff. But even he sort of couldn't do

120
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: it for them last night. So Julius Randal nearly had

121
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 4: a triple double. It did not feel like that he

122
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: is just sort of really out of sync right now.

123
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: But honestly, a really fun, entertaining game. I thought it

124
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: was sort of lived up to the hype. I thought

125
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 4: it was closer than it felt, even though the Grizzlies

126
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 4: were clearly the better team.

127
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: What do you think?

128
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: What did I think? I think John Moran doesman being

129
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: even though they had a poor game combined, maybe they

130
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: just couldn't shoot the ball. Moran was able to control

131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: this game and get his other guys off. So that's

132
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: a special night for at Grizzlies team that combined Maranton

133
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: Bain shot thirteen to forty five, twenty eight percent of

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: their shots and they still win. Why because Jared Jackson

135
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 3: shows up and I think we can call him Jaron

136
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: Jackson from now on. It's it's great when a sun

137
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: of a guy who played in the NBA is already

138
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: better and so he can take the title of Jaron Jackson.

139
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 3: We don't need to throw in that junior and just

140
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: waste time here and say Jared Jackson junior for the

141
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: rest of his career, Jared Jackson senior champ and all

142
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: that had a long career. But we can just call

143
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 3: JJ Jarreon Jackson twenty six and ten in this one.

144
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: The defense obviously, if he can develop a mid range game,

145
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: a little bit of a back to the basket game,

146
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: which hasn't come along quite yet. That's where the ceiling

147
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: of this team gets even higher. And if Zaire Williams

148
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: develops into a great player, that's where the ceiling of

149
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: this team gets even higher. So Maranon was able to

150
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: set those guys up, and he obviously is encouraging those

151
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: guys to be incredible. It was a great Zire Williams

152
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: postgame interviewer. He gets the interview nine of eleven, and

153
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: the guy who's sitting seven feet behind him just being

154
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: his cheerleader is John Morant just being there excited for him,

155
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: listening to everything he's got to say. And then when

156
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: inevitably Brevin Knight, who's doing the interview, calls him in

157
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: and says, hey, get in here, John Morant, get in here.

158
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 3: We want we want the star power. In this interview,

159
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: John excuse me, just talks about Zion Williams. He just

160
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: talks about a genuine answer about how hard he's working.

161
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: So he's got that cheerleader in his corner. So the

162
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: rook from Stanford hopefully can get even better. But those

163
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: those guys, yeah, they were able to win. They show

164
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: that the Knicks, the Grizzlies have far more top end

165
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: depth at this point with Jared Jackson Junior and Zire Williams.

166
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: If those guys can keep it going, this could be

167
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: a team that's around for a long time. And that's

168
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: who they're banking on. Their banking on rant and Baine

169
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: and Jeron Jackson Junior and Zire Williams as they're guys

170
00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: for the future.

171
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: We had a little altercation, I guess if you want

172
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: to call it that too, with Randall trying to stick

173
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: his head into the Grizzlies little huddle on the sidelines

174
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: and then a bunch of like, hey, you get out

175
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: of here, you know, you get out of doing over here.

176
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: And it led to at least some great quotes after

177
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: the game, because you know, the Grizzlies are asked about

178
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: this and they talk a lot of trash. This is

179
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: no secret. And John Moran said, quote, we run up

180
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: the chimney. We ain't ducking no smoke. It sounds like

181
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: a Cameron lyric.

182
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Maybe is that a saying like the coin that right

183
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: then and there we run up the chimney. I don't know,

184
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: but if he did, it's like kind of in a

185
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: line with Zach Randolph's and Tony Allen back in the Yeah,

186
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: like we got it out of the mud. Uh, we're

187
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: about that action, boss. Wasn't that a Zach Randolph's thing.

188
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: They are the next generation of grit and grind, you know.

189
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: They they get after it on in the offensive glass.

190
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: They force a lot of turnovers and they will fight

191
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: you if it comes down to it. So you gotta

192
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: love it. I think it's crazy, Like I never expected

193
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: that this Grizzlies team would be this good this year.

194
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: And I also didn't like when you look at him,

195
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: Jared Jackson Junior, like he's more of a finesse big

196
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: than he is a banging big. I've been really impressed

197
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: with his handle, like you're saying, his dinker and dumper

198
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: game I think has kind of come along a little

199
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: bit this year. But he's not a tough guy. John

200
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: Morant seems to be their tough guy. Obviously, Steven Adams

201
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: is a tough guy. But they feel like the Grizzlies

202
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: that were built around Randolph and Gasol, So to see

203
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: them kind of already embrace that kind of identity for

204
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: themselves is really really cool.

205
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

206
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: I think John Morant right now, according to Vegas, is

207
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: the odds on favorite to win Most Improved. And I

208
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: know there's been a lot of buzz for Desmond Ban

209
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: despite being a second year player. You know how I

210
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: feel about that. But Jaron Jackson Junior, I think deserve

211
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: some consideration too. Now, if you look at his numbers

212
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: compared to last year, they're not gonna be like whoa,

213
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: yeahded ten points per game flyboards or something like that. No,

214
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: it's not that it's somewhat similar. But defensively, yeah, and

215
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 2: just the impact, like you said in this game as

216
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: a great example, he's improved. So I think he'll ge

217
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: at the eyed vault too. So he got three guys

218
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: on this team that have like kicking their game up

219
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: alove it.

220
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: Maybe he can be let the Hawks when they won

221
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 4: a Player of the month, you knowlies most Improved. But

222
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing with Jaron Jackson he's obviously

223
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: been on the court this year. Yeah, last year he

224
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: was injured a lot and they gave him the big

225
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: contract and you're like, you know, there's there's some risk

226
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: there for a young guy being injured all at that, but.

227
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: Even he was always like foul trouble yeah yeah, and

228
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: he himself out of and.

229
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 4: He wasn't a traditional big. He was more a finesse big.

230
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 4: He liked to be on the perimeter. So you thought, okay,

231
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 4: where is he where is he going to fall? And

232
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: right now? And Mark Jones brought up on the broadcast

233
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: there last night where he had that move. It's like

234
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 4: he's been working on that handle and you can see

235
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 4: not just the improvement like from the physical side, from

236
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: the mental side where he's like, I can make this move.

237
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 4: You know. That to me shows that he's put the

238
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: work in and he's got the confidence to make it happen.

239
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: So yeah, this has been huge for him and for

240
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies.

241
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: John Morian tried to dunk on mister Robinson somewhat leading

242
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: this sking in Mitch Robinson, you know, blocked him and

243
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: got called for the foul. You know, it was contact

244
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: up top. I saw you got into it with the

245
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: Worldwide Wie because you were like, wow, you know, it

246
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: would have been one of the best junks we've seen

247
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: in a long time.

248
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: You know.

249
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: John Moran like cocks it back and tries the hammer

250
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: it in Madison Square. Going to that always helps. Oh

251
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: here it is right here.

252
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: Here, It is here, because look the only thing is here, like,

253
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: look at Ja Moran's face on this one here, because

254
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: a lot of people saying it was a clean block

255
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: and I'm saying it's not clean if he hit him

256
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: in the face.

257
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Right, So I agree on that.

258
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Mitchell Robinson again, he was great last night

259
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: with eight blocks, but you can't tell me that you

260
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: face right here. Yeah, look he hits him in the face,

261
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: and people saying it's not even close. Look the ball

262
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 4: hits the rim out of his hands.

263
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: Right, So I'm going to say so say, like, come on,

264
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's a bit of a reach to

265
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: say he was close to but disagree.

266
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh well I disagree. But it's also great listening

267
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: to what because he's a big Knicks guy. Of course,

268
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 4: you know, his emotions go up and down with the

269
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: with the team there. And I think, I think because

270
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: I got a lot of people once he comments, then

271
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 4: it just triggers all the other Nicks fans wive's army.

272
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah basically, and so many people were just sort of like,

273
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: you know, why you're putting that up, like it doesn't matter,

274
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. You know, it's fine, man. I just

275
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: think it was an awesome play, and it was like

276
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: Lebron when he nearly dunked on on Draymond Green in

277
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 4: the finals, one of those ones, like you know, it

278
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 4: was a fair but it was like that highlight, the athleticism,

279
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: you know, the dunker going up against the shop, like

280
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: that's what we love about the game. So but I

281
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 4: think Wob was just having a bit of fun. I

282
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: think it was just a bit bum. I mean, the

283
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: Knicks I'm not going too well.

284
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: And they're going on a five game road trip.

285
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. But Bob's great. I mean, Wob's great for

286
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: the game. He's great for these.

287
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: Hey listen, Wov's army, no smoke, he runs up the chimney.

288
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 4: It wasn't I didn't. I didn't feel any hostility. I thought,

289
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 4: you know, like I say, the Knicks are frustrated right now,

290
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: so they want respect. And I tell you, I love

291
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: Mitchell Robinson. I think he's a great player, and I

292
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: think if he can play like he did last night,

293
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 4: the Knicks are gonna win more games than they lose.

294
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: Any other thoughts on on Grizzlies victory here over the

295
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: Knicks in Massive Square Gun. All right, if not, we'll

296
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: keep it going lots of games on last night. So

297
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: next one, Celtics beat the Hornets. They overcome LaMelo Ball's

298
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: career best thirty eight points with Eric Collins going bunkers,

299
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: but Celtics could have done us.

300
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, LaMelo was amazing. I can't believe Lamello's growth in

301
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 3: this league this quickly. Just didn't see it coming. But

302
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: on the other side, maybe the Celtics are good. Maybe

303
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: maybe they're on a three game win streak and there

304
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: will be a team that surprises everybody in the second half,

305
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: and the Celtics are in line to be that team.

306
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: I think they have thirty one assists in this game,

307
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 3: eight more than their season average, and the shot distribution

308
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: in this one was the important thing I think for

309
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 3: the Celtics have been talking about let's play together, let's

310
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: play together, let's play together. Tatum at sixteen, Brown had fifteen,

311
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: Richardson had twelve, and Smart had eleven. Pretty even distribution.

312
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: Stars get a few more, but not a twenty five

313
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: to thirty shot night for Tatum or Brown and everybody

314
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 3: everybody seeing that the Celtics are sharing the ball. Even

315
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 3: our friend Chief who's up in the upper Bowl watching

316
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: this game. He tweeted in Tatum and Brown combining for

317
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: fourteen assists so far. They even got more after that.

318
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 3: It's been nice to watch the season move the ball

319
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 3: a bit more tonight, as he tweeted in you're right, Chief,

320
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: You're right. And I think the open shots, you know,

321
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: for their next guys, the third and fourth guys, Marcus Smart,

322
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: We're going in because they were open shots. Seven for

323
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: Elem for Marcus Mart Jason Richardson also known as Josh

324
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: Richardson eight of twelve, he was banging home shots, so

325
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: that those those were wide open because they were moving

326
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: the ball. They have a good defense. They've won three

327
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: in a row, they're three games above five hundred. They

328
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: they have the recipe for a good team. And so

329
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: the big, the big tradable asset they have seven days

330
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: before the deadline is Marcus Mark got to be moved

331
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: because they need a point guard. Not if they play

332
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: like this, they say no, they say no, we're going

333
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: to keep him around and tinker around the edges. But

334
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: right now, yeah, they everybody going. Even though LaMelo was,

335
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that's LaMelo's specially talk about John Morant's quote.

336
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: LaMelo Ball had a recent quote when When he was

337
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: asked about who he modeled his game after, he said me,

338
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: he said, no, I hate answers, he said. He said,

339
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: I played video games, and I played the video games,

340
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: and what I did in the video games, I looked

341
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: at it. I said, all right, I'll go do it outside.

342
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: So that's not a real person. Maybe, and then he

343
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: threw in Jamal Crawford sort of as it. But but

344
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: maybe it's a different generation. Maybe players model their games

345
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: after two K, but.

346
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: The two K is modeled after them.

347
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's say it is. It's a whole other. It's

348
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: a meta, it's a meta situation. But they're not real

349
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: people that LaMelo Ball has looked at? How many games

350
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: has LaMelo Ball watched like NBA games as LaMelo Ball watcher.

351
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: He just simulate seasons and watch that and take those moves.

352
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: So that's who the Melo ball, That's who the Melo

353
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: models his game after. I mean, he is so unique.

354
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: I guess it's Jamal Crawford. But the guy is just

355
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: he's just the Flinger of the flings. He just doesn't

356
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: have anything that's typical. I mean, what's typical about the dude.

357
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just he's all his forms are different.

358
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: I guess they're video games.

359
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Back to the Celtics for a second. They have

360
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: won ten a fourteen here and I think they have

361
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: the best defense in the league since around Christmas or

362
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: at least into the new year, so they have that

363
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: going for them again. And then I thought, like, this

364
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: was a close game. I mean, the Hornets hit some

365
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: big shots, Like I said, Collins was going Berzerik J

366
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: Washington a three, Terry Rozier hit a three. I mean

367
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: it was back and forth there, and then there was

368
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: a play where Jalen Brown I think there was maybe

369
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: less than a minute to go, and it's a very

370
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: close game. Awesome defense from the Hornets, I thought for

371
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: like twenty three seconds out of the twenty four and

372
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: then Brown just bailed them out with a very very

373
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: difficult sort of like little turnaround fait a huge, huge shot,

374
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: but the Hornets had played it well. And then Tatum

375
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: another one like he drove and got to the line

376
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: stuff like that. And they hit their free throws at

377
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: the end too to ice the game. But anything to add.

378
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: These two teams have had pretty good battles this season.

379
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: It always feels like they match up pretty well against

380
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: each other. I think the Celtics have the better singular

381
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: talent there in Tatum and Brown, but maybe collectively the

382
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 4: Hornets have a little bit more, a little bit more

383
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 4: sort of balanced across the board. But yeah, Eric collins Man,

384
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: it's when Terry Rosie hit that three, a former Celtic

385
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: in the garden there, he was just going crazy and

386
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: it was fun. It was fun. So I do think

387
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: that these two teams, it would be a great matchup

388
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. I think I'm not sure who i'd

389
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: pick right back to the morning, Yeah, exactly. The Hornets

390
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 4: first playoff victory by them, series victory, But yeah, I

391
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: don't know with the Celtics though, I mean, task keeps

392
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: on saying they're there are classic five hundred teams. So

393
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 4: they're three up right now. Does that mean they're just

394
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 4: going to fall back, they're going to regress or are

395
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: they maybe a little bit better than we've seen from

396
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: them this season so far.

397
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Robert Williams two had a huge play in this

398
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: where the ball found it's wway to PJ Washington, who

399
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: was going to let that three go again take game

400
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: and he had closed out on it. And that guy

401
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 2: is huge, huge, and just like I think they even

402
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: still on the broadcast. He could have blocked it with

403
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 2: his forehead like a header block. Yeah, but you know,

404
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: he just smothered it and then it went to Tatum

405
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: and again helped them get the victory. Anything to add, no, TK.

406
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: Well, the only thing I would really add is that

407
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty cool that Cheeves tweet the time

408
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: stamp said from TD Garden. So that's respective scene on

409
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: the scene chiefs are corresponding the no spas, that's right.

410
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: But will the.

411
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: Celtics be able to keep it up for a little

412
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: I think so. They got the Pistons and Magic up next,

413
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: then they play at the nets. You never know what

414
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: you're getting with Brooklyn. Right now, things maybe get a

415
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: little tougher. Right before the All Star Break, they'll have

416
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, Hawks sixers, So the Celtics might be able

417
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: to claw themselves into a top six. At the very least.

418
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: I would think they are the team to beat in

419
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the play in Tournament, them and the Raptors. I mean,

420
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: there coulda be some decent games in the play in

421
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Tournament this year. Seemed like that might be the case

422
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: last year and it was like blowout Central. But these

423
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: teams right now are all pretty packed in tight.

424
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to our next game. Kuzma and Spencer Dinwitdy

425
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: lead the Wizards past the six or stund them. I

426
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: guess some would say, uh, one six, one o three.

427
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: I say that because you know Embiid's playing and Kuzma

428
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: coming up in the clutch.

429
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kicked to the gut. I felt like a

430
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: little bit of a stunner because I thought the seventy

431
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: six ers should and would win this game. With the

432
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: way Joel Embiid was playing, he was just eating Daniel

433
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: Gafford for lunch. Twenty seven points, fourteen rebounds, six assists

434
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: for Embiid, and it was like if he wasn't too

435
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: strong for Gafford, he was too fast for him. If

436
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't too fast for him, he was too skilled

437
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: for him. He was scoring every single time. It felt

438
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: like that he got the ball, but the Wizards just

439
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: kept battling. Spencer Dinwitdy was living in the lane. His

440
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: first career triple double. He had fourteen points, which he

441
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: said just came because he shot the ball a lot,

442
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: But he also had twelve rebounds and more importantly, ten assists,

443
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: including setting up Montrez Harrald for a deep floater like

444
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: a sixteen foot one handed push shot floater, to which

445
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: Entrez harral then blew kisses to the jow, which I

446
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: thought was great. The Sixers, though, still had a chance

447
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: to win it. They got to stop down to Tobias

448
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: Harris grabs a rebound with about sixteen seconds left. There's

449
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: a lot of Joscelyn, a lot of rumbling and tumblin.

450
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: Somehow the Sixers actually get the ball past half court.

451
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Ends up with Embiid grabbing the ball left wing, pretty

452
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: close to half court about twelve seconds left. He makes

453
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: a move to the hoop. Euro Steps goes up to

454
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: the hoop, Kuzma blocks it from behind. Clutch Couz great block,

455
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: but honestly, Doc Rivers should have called time out. They

456
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: had a time out left. They should have called it

457
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: when there was twelve seconds left. After all of that scrambling,

458
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: I love to knock call a timeout when you get

459
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: a stop, it's like the defense isn't set go and

460
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: try to score. But that only works if like you

461
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: have an advantage, and they didn't have an advantage at

462
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: that time. I thought that's a time definitely call a timeout,

463
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: get a play to get and beat a shot. I

464
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: know he got to the rim, but that was a

465
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: tough shot and a great play by Kuzma. Pretty crazy stuff. No,

466
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal for the Wizards last night. Wizards are seventeen

467
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: and twenty three with bel on the court, seven and four.

468
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: When he sits. Do you remember the end of the

469
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: John wall era in Washington? Every time he would set,

470
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: Bradley Bill is like could played greats and eight. Everybody eats.

471
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: Guess what happens when Bradley Beal sets, everybody eats.

472
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 2: Interesting, Oh, ye're weak. Until the trade deadline he gone, wow, wow, Wow,

473
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: he's gonna be out for a little bit longer. They're saying, yeah,

474
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: for sure.

475
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: He'll probably keep women.

476
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think? Yeah, well, I think the

477
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: Sixers probably went into this game thinking the Wizards sort

478
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 4: of they've had their high water mark, this is going

479
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 4: to be a win for us, and they just didn't

480
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: really get up for it at the start. Wizards took

481
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 4: advantage and Montre's Harrell, former six Man of the Year,

482
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: had ten of his fourteen in that fourth quarter, just

483
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 4: doing what won in that award. You know, grabbing the ball,

484
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: going at the hoop, flicking it, flinging it, dinging it,

485
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: dongnging it. I don't know whatever he was doing there,

486
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: but he's good though. But that's what Montrez did to

487
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 4: win the award. He was just a scorer and he

488
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: did that for them last night there. And that's the

489
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 4: thing with the Wizards. They this looked much more like

490
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 4: their early season form and probably a little bit like

491
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 4: the Sixers as well, where they're a little bit disjointed

492
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 4: and just not quite into it. So good perform again

493
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 4: from Maxi. He's great worldwide. Walp had a good tweet

494
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 4: to beat him, saying that he doesn't want Ben Siemens

495
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 4: coming back anytime soon because he's playing really, really well.

496
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: And Yeah, I think this is one you can look

497
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: at the six and just say they just let this

498
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 4: one slip and weren't locked in from the start, and

499
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 4: it ended up paying the They ended up paying the price.

500
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: We already showed you the Weggie from the Blazers Lakers game,

501
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 2: but let's talk about it a little more detail. Anthony

502
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: Davis with thirty as they rallied to beat the Trailblazers tests.

503
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is just an example of Anthony Davis being

504
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: the best player on the floor. He was able to

505
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 3: be on the floor for most of the game. And

506
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: that's why people get a little bit worried if you're

507
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: talking about the Los Angeles Lakers, and really the the

508
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: recipe is can their best players be on the floor?

509
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: No Lebron in this one, But if Lebron were to

510
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: join Anthony Davis, how do you match up? How do

511
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: you play this team? It's exactly what happened in the

512
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: playoffs last year. Phoenix had a healthier team and the

513
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 3: Lakers were half of themselves, really, and now Phoenix, for instance,

514
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: is able to run away with the regular season. They're

515
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: playing all together, and the Lakers are still middling. They're

516
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: still trying to find their way. So Anthony Davis looked

517
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: like it was going to go that direction again. He

518
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: had to leave the game in the first quarter. He

519
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 3: asked to be taken out after Yusef Nurkic sort of

520
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: boarded by him and he was limping, and it just

521
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: looks like, all right, here we go. This could be

522
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: another huge blip in the Lakers season where they could

523
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: drop out of the play in tournament. But he comes

524
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: back and is clearly the best player on the floor,

525
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 3: and that's why they win this basketball game. And that's

526
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 3: why if Lebron comes back after the trade deadline or

527
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 3: whenever he comes back, it should should be fairly soon.

528
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 3: You know, it's still it's still a scary team to

529
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: play when they want to play together. And so I

530
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: think really the the the lesson from this game is

531
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis the best player on the floor. They won

532
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: the game. Otherwise, I mean, he put together a good game,

533
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 3: he put together a solid game. If he's really if

534
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: he can put together, you know, these thirty point type

535
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: performances for a couple months, the Lakers are our team.

536
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to play because Lebron will be there come

537
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: playoff time. But he it also allows Lebron to chill

538
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: a little bit while Anthony Davis is playing well and

539
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: Lebron to get healthy because his knee is it's bugging

540
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: him apparently, And I guess that's what Age does. As

541
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: much as he is a god, and he you know,

542
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: people will say he's proven that he can beat Father Time.

543
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: That knee I'm sure is just its Father time. You know,

544
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: he's going to be the leading scorer in the NBA.

545
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 3: When it's all said and done. He's going to play

546
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: with Brownie Junior when it's all said and done. He's

547
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: going to take the proper rest when it's all said

548
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 3: and done. But he can't play night in, night out,

549
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 3: and he needs Anthony Davis.

550
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: Lakers were helped out definitely by getting a Mellow game two,

551
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: who is on fire, eight of twelve overall and five

552
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: three pointers. Twenty four points off the bench from Mellow. Yeah,

553
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: you know it's few and far between, Lee, but it

554
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: does happen. He still got it, and you know he

555
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 2: was on last night and those were huge points. I mean,

556
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: you know, in a close game, even though Ad was

557
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: living at the line and stuff like.

558
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 4: That, he played the thirty three minutes, which I think

559
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 4: is you don't want Mellow having to play thirty three minutes.

560
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: If he can sort of give you that sort of

561
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 4: production in fifteen twenty minutes, that's better for the Lakers

562
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 4: because if you're relying on him at thirty seven to

563
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 4: provide that sort of input, it's gonna cost them as well.

564
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 4: But it's against the Blazers too. Let's not forget that

565
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: the Blazers. It's been a rough season. You know the Lakers,

566
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 4: I mean they still had to sort of fight to

567
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: get out of this and they did, but they should

568
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 4: beat the Blazers. And yeah, I mean there's not much

569
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 4: really us to say when Anthony Anthony, I just looked

570
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: like this against Philadelphi, even though they lost last week,

571
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: where it's just like, Okay, there's not really much anyone

572
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 4: can do. It's just the Blazers aren't the Sixers, and

573
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: the Sixers just have a better team. So that's about it.

574
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 3: Really.

575
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: It came down to Anthony Davis saying I am better

576
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: getting to the free throw line as well, which is important.

577
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: Next game. Dort Hot in overtime, Love saying that dort

578
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: Hot to leave the Thunder past the Mavericks one twenty

579
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: one to fourteen. I knew it. I told you when

580
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: we did our pick him. You saw God I overthought

581
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: this one. Watched the thunder wind. Yeah, they won second

582
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: consecutive victory here, first time they've done that in a

583
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: long time since before Christmas. The Thunder had a little

584
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: three game winning streak, but back to back victories here.

585
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 2: Dort was huge and overtime he had fourteen points of

586
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: the seventeen in the extra frame and it was his

587
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: second thirty point game of the season. But the play

588
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about your assie mate, Josh Giddy

589
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: just with a beautiful inbounds pass to Kenrich Williams with

590
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: about eight seconds to go. There was a little eye contact.

591
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: It was beauty. You could see it. There's like a

592
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: clip going around, little bit of an eyeball, eyes up,

593
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: you know, hey, I got you. Have you cut that way?

594
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: I think there might be an opening and just a

595
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: gorgeous pass, nice vintages inside. I mean even even the

596
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: thunder like coaches were laughing about it because it wasn't

597
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: a play. I mean, they drew up a play whatever

598
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: it was going to be. That pass reminding me it

599
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 2: just was like, that's a Junobili pass right. I was washed.

600
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that felt like a

601
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: normally pass, just like sort of a ballsy pass, but

602
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: right on pinpoint diamond that was It was just awesome.

603
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: And so he played well. Tree Man played well because

604
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: those guys without SGA, you know, they're the playmakers of

605
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: this squae Son's victory from them.

606
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Luca, people are sort of criticizing him too, because

607
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: he wasn't really paying attention. But yeah, he also I

608
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 4: think it's fair that he's like, this ball is not

609
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 4: going to mind.

610
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: So on the other side of a million bodies in the.

611
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 4: And he's thought of you know, he recovered, but it

612
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: was just like that that split second which did cost them.

613
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: But someone a few weeks ago actually sent me a

614
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: DM and said, is Josh Giddy already the best inbounds

615
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 4: passer in the NBA? And I'm like that sick. I know,

616
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 4: I'm like, I've never considered like anyone to be the

617
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: best inbounds passer. But he's had a couple of these

618
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 4: sorts of ones, so you know, it's great for him.

619
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, this was a really impressive victory. Tray man

620
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: man trade man. Wow, that step back three he had

621
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 4: on Luca where he left him, maybe he traveled, I'm

622
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: not sure, but he just created so much space there

623
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 4: and knocked it down. He did that a couple of

624
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 4: six for eight for him from downtown, and you mentioned Doughty,

625
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: there's six for ten himself. So those two guys twelve

626
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: for eighteen from three, that's where the game was won. Here.

627
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 4: The Thunder were just better, man.

628
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Thunder came into this game like dead last

629
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: in field goal percentage, dead last in three point percentage.

630
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 2: But they shot the lights out last night forty eight

631
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: percent overall, and then really good from downtown forty five

632
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 2: zero point nine percent from three tasks as they sort

633
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: of you know, they shocked the Mads. Luca had a

634
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: chance at the end. I didn't love you know, Lucas

635
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: hit that before.

636
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had.

637
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: Forty in this game. I'm talking about like just like

638
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm not attacking, I'm just hitting you with a step

639
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: back three from that left side, and it came up

640
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: short and he's he said, both the defensive player and

641
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: that offensive shot. He's like, I sort of blew it

642
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: at the end of regulation.

643
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's right. Luca's got that sort of

644
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 4: history of like, Okay, that can be shot. But he

645
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: had train man on him, and he just had a

646
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 4: size advantage, and I was like, you could have gotten

647
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 4: probably a better look at it, certainly a closer look.

648
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 4: He didn't. He went for it, he missed it, and

649
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: and then they lost the nyon side. It's the white guys.

650
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Dallas here dropping a couple of games because

651
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: they had been playing really really well. Anything to add

652
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 2: to the Thunder shocking the MAVs.

653
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: Well from the thunderside, they've developed a couple of players.

654
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 3: Tray Man looks like he could be a player that

655
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: can create his own shot and yeah, this was this

656
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: was an a novel of a night for him hitting

657
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: six threes. But him along with Dort, who is special

658
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: to watch, I think of the league because there's just

659
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: no football body like that guy in the league. I

660
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: don't think. I mean, Lebron is Lebron for sure, but

661
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: Dort is smaller.

662
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 5: Des Yeah, big Dort.

663
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the big Dort. He's the small Dort is

664
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: the small Dort, the the what are the tiny sized

665
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: Dorts going around, you know, like miniature doors that you

666
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: see in the city, the tiny one. But he's also Monstra,

667
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: He's And so I just point those two guys out

668
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: because if the San Prasty in the Oklahoma City Thunder

669
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: are looking at this trade deadline and think about reloading

670
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: on draft picks by trading those guys, I'm just I'm

671
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 3: already sickened to my stomach thinking about it. But they

672
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: better not trade either of those guys. And you know,

673
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: Kenrich Williams, I think is the guy who's gettable. But

674
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: there's been some wild chatter about trading Lou Dorton. I

675
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: think that's ridiculous. Ridiculous. So you got him on a

676
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: San Presty like contract, which is nothing he's pay he's getting,

677
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: you know, he's underpaid. But there's been talk about trading

678
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: him when obviously any team would want him. And this is, uh,

679
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 3: this is just I hate this time of year.

680
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: If you're just find another dort Yeah, but he's good. Yeah,

681
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: but that's the thing, Like you can find another dor

682
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, they found ken Rich Williams. Like that's suddenly

683
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: a guy nobody knew about who everybody wants to trade for,

684
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: thinks they'd be great for a winning team.

685
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's an old man. We found out he's

686
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: twenty seven.

687
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's hard for me to evaluate anybody

688
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: who ever plays for the Thunder. I'm like Trey Man,

689
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: that guy shoots some weird floaters and he had a

690
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: great game and he was playing incredibly well. But like,

691
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: you get to take any shot you want to when

692
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: you play for the Thunder, So if you don't perform well,

693
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: like you're just like, oh well, just on the Thunder.

694
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: I find it very hard to follow I'm like, my

695
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: favorite thing to watch with Giddy is the like the

696
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: diagonal passes like that, to me is his biggest strength,

697
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: specifically is passing from one side of the corner diagonally

698
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: to the other. He had another one Manu's style to

699
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: a corner shooter for a three pointer. But I'm like,

700
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: is Giddy how good is Giddy? Is his best skill

701
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: a diagonal pass inn inbounding or is he gonna be

702
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: like a legitimate you can have him as a number

703
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: one or number two kind of guy. I don't know.

704
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. All I can see when I see

705
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: him is Lincoln Doyle.

706
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

707
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: Jd Son got all nice.

708
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: He's got a nice Lincoln Doyle looks got the locks.

709
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, it's gotta work on the footwork. That

710
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: that three point pullback that he took that was blocked

711
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: at the end of the game, is his feet were

712
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: right together. He looked looked real lot like his feet

713
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 3: were like touching balancing. So yeah, he's got to work

714
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: on the forwork on the shots. But the passing is

715
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: on one undo.

716
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's run through the other games from last night.

717
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: Trey got a line for everyone. Okay, yeah, yeah, Gary

718
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: Harris rallies the Magic to the one nineteen one eighteen

719
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: victory over the Pacers.

720
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Gary Harris, that's a name I haven't heard in years.

721
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: That's a forgettable guy. But nice game for Gary. Twenty

722
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: two points on six of fifteen shooting, but it was

723
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: really six for eleven shooting. He made six threes. He

724
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: used to be in trade rumors all the time until

725
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: he was finally traded in the Aaron Gordon deal. He's

726
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: on a twenty million dollar contract right now that expires

727
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: in the summer. Is that a guy other teams could

728
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: be interested in? You know, like last year it was

729
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: a guy that people could be interested in. I don't

730
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: think he's really progressed the way a lot of people

731
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: thought he would when he signed that big deal with

732
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. But seems like a solid player to me.

733
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: So he's available all his contract expires. Terrence Ross's goes

734
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: through next season.

735
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, I don't know. I mean, look, well,

736
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: if a team like strikes out on like, oh we

737
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: can't get Eric Gordon, is Gary Harris like a decent

738
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: backup plan for a place?

739
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: He used to feel like he was that guy had one,

740
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 4: But you know, the fact that Nuggets gave him to

741
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 4: the Magic and he hasn't really done anything there that

742
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: he's gettable shows me that maybe he's not quite as

743
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: good as we thought.

744
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: You know, did you know it was Gary week in

745
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: the NBA? This week Garry Trent Junior, Gary Harris.

746
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: And stick around Gary Burdon.

747
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 3: Wow?

748
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yes, excellent.

749
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

750
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: Rockets snapped a home skid with a one fifteen one

751
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: oh four win over the Calves.

752
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, silly lost for the Calves. They had no Darius Garland.

753
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes you lose to bad teams. We just saw the

754
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: Mavericks lost to the Magic and the Thunder back to back,

755
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: so you know, it happens. This was the first home

756
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: win though for Houston since December eighth. Twenty one for

757
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: Christian Wood, twenty one for Jalen Green, and sixteen for

758
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: Gary Bird.

759
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, three deep threes.

760
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: Went three for ten from the field. He is a

761
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: streaky shooter. Also some huge dunks from christian Wood and

762
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: Opper and Shengoon, both of them on or near Evan Mobley.

763
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: I like what coach Steven Silas said after the game.

764
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: He said, prior to the tip off, he listed each

765
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: loss that the Rockets had had at home on a

766
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: white board stressing the need to end the streak against

767
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: the Cavs, and then he said, usually when I do

768
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: stuff like that, they respond. Probably should have done it sooner.

769
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should have done this like three games prior.

770
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 5: I was giving him all these tips and stuff. I

771
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 5: should have wrote a bunch of team names on the board.

772
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 5: That would have worked. But a nice win for the Rockets.

773
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 5: Good stuff, guys.

774
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: Jazz complete the season sweep over Denver one eight one four.

775
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: Much needed win for the Jazz, just their third and

776
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: fourteen games. No Jokic or Gordon or Porter Junior or

777
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: Murray obviously for the Nuggets. No go Bear Mitchell Clarkson

778
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other guys for the Jazz. So

779
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: this was your classic Trent four Forest versus bryn Forbes

780
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: duel Forest versus Forbes. Don't miss the forest for the Forbes.

781
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: Eighteen for Trent, twenty six for Brynn. Denver now is

782
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: just two games up on the Timberwolves. They're struggling a

783
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: little bit right now, and the Timberwolves are actually putting

784
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: things together. I don't think it's all said and done.

785
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the sixth seed in the Western Conference.

786
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: And finally, I know we're going to talk about the

787
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: Nets after the break and whether we should be concerned

788
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: about them, Hard says, don't worry about it. We're just

789
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: missing our guys. But the Kings rallied in the fourth

790
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: to hand Brooklyn their sixth straight loss one twelve one

791
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 2: oh one.

792
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: Six straight losses for the Nets. That's the worst in

793
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: the league right now. But they really didn't have a chance.

794
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: As Friend of the program Nick Friedell points out on Twitter.

795
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: In a truly unique NBA moment, Steve Nash's postgame press

796
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: conference was delayed a few seconds because Coolio was outside

797
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: the Nets press conference room telling Nash every time I

798
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: performed the home team wins ten in a row, Kings.

799
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: The Kings still have twelve home games left. Wow, they

800
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: got to hire Coolio for all twelve of those.

801
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, are on a fantastic voyage with it, I mean.

802
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: And he's performing it NBA games. Come on, let him.

803
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: Let him be a part of the super Bowl. You

804
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 3: want to from from California, it's from Compton. Let him

805
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 3: be a part of the super Bowl. He shouldn't be

806
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 3: at this level. You know what's school yet.

807
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 4: You want him to be doing something new.

808
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 2: Keep going man.

809
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, well well listen, if you'll go in to the

810
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 4: super Bowl, I'll see you when you.

811
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: Now man hanging in gangst this parad.

812
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, on that note, we're gonna take our first break.

813
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll get to a little is

814
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 2: this news, don't go anywhere back in the classic factory.

815
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: I got some NBA headlines for you guys here and

816
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: everybody joining us on the stream team. So let's do

817
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: a little is this news? Yes, first one teased in

818
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: a little earlier. The Associated Press has it as Harden.

819
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 2: Then quote, there's no concern as Nets drop their sexth Street.

820
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: Is this news?

821
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 4: League?

822
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 2: Is he right?

823
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 4: He's a veteran, So this is a standard response when

824
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: a team goes through a bit of a funk like this.

825
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 4: They're obviously missing Kevin Durant. But that's the whole thing

826
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 4: with the Brooklyn Nets. Without Kevin Durant, they're not a

827
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 4: contender With Kevin Durant. They're a contender when they get

828
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 4: him back. You think he's still a couple of weeks away.

829
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 4: Not exactly sure right now, but that's the whole thing

830
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 4: this Brooklyn Nets team cannot. I don't consider them at

831
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 4: all a contender until he's back and they've got all

832
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 4: their guys. They still can't deventd over these last six games.

833
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 4: They're eighteenth in defensive rating. Their offense is a little better,

834
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 4: but it doesn't really matter when guys and look, if

835
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 4: you're losing to those Sacramento Kings, then that's a pretty

836
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 4: bad time. Yeah, so you know, but also I think

837
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 4: James Harden's trying to deflect a little bit from himself.

838
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 4: He had a stinker there last points, know, yeah, four

839
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 4: points two of eleven, and people are sort of like,

840
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 4: where's your effort, where's your attitude? Because he's starting to

841
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 4: show a little bit like he was in Houston there

842
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 4: where he's like not really feeling it right now. His

843
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: body language isn't great. So there's obviously the Kyrie Irving situation.

844
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 4: He can't play home games. They've got a couple more

845
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 4: on the road here. They've got Utah and then the

846
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 4: Denver Nuggets, so and both of those teams are banged up,

847
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 4: so they could sort of fall into a win against

848
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 4: one of those two teams. But I would be concerned

849
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: if I'm the Brooklyn Nets because they are not staying

850
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 4: afloat without Kevin Durant at all, and their star players

851
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 4: really aren't performing to their best. So I'm not all

852
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 4: that impressed with the Nets right now.

853
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: When asked if the Nets needed a player's only meeting,

854
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 2: Harden said, I think we've done too much talking and

855
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: so I need to do the opposite of that, less talking,

856
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: better playing. But are you know, are you concerned of

857
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 2: the nets chances here? I mean, Kyrie's playing in this game,

858
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 2: Horn's playing in this game. Yes, he's got a sore

859
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: hand and he's got the hamstring injury, but it was

860
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: a stinker there, and they do not look like a

861
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: without Durant. Definitely don't look like a team that win

862
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 2: a playoff series.

863
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: Right.

864
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it's a funny thing. It's like the bottom

865
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 3: is falling out when they're losing, and they could win

866
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference when things are going right, And I

867
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 3: think it's could be either of those scenarios. And right now,

868
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: Harden said, I think it's a little bit of everything,

869
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: and he has bang on.

870
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 4: I think it's just a whole.

871
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 3: Glut of things going on. Harden's got a hamstring injury

872
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 3: that goes back to last year when he had to

873
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 3: leave in the playoffs.

874
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: That's a problem.

875
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 3: He's playing all the time, he hasn't been able to rest.

876
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 3: He's the one guy of all of them that hasn't

877
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 3: been able to rest because he hasn't gotten injured, you know,

878
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: fully injured and able to just sit out. And because

879
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 3: Kyrie's not there the whole time. So that's a problem too.

880
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: They can't get on a roll with all their guys.

881
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 3: That guy's got to get the shot if things are

882
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 3: going to get better for this team. And you know

883
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 3: they've got a couple months here. Kevin Durant though, could

884
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 3: be back in a week. He's supposed to get re

885
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 3: examined this week. That could be back. That could be

886
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,479
Speaker 3: a huge determining factor. And I say there's a little

887
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: bit of everything. Because Joe Harris hasn't played since November,

888
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: they haven't got their role players right like they did

889
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: last year. So that's a whole lot of issues to

890
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: figure out over the next two months. At the same time,

891
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 3: it's not crazy that they're still a favorite in the East.

892
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: They're three and a half back of the one seed

893
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 3: with all of these quote unquote problems, and they could

894
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: figure it out pretty quickly. I think every single team

895
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: from the Bulls, the Heat, the Bucks who really should

896
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: be the favorites though all those teams have little issues

897
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 3: and so it's still wide open, and the Nets could

898
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 3: be the favorite if they get it all together. And again,

899
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 3: they went into the playoffs last year with their big

900
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: three play in only eight games, but they had more

901
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: role establishment last year, and they had Kyrie Irving playing

902
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: every single game. So yeah, I wouldn't consider them the

903
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 3: favorite right now, but they could easily be that in

904
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 3: a month.

905
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: It's looking eerily similar to me, this Nets team to

906
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: the Lakers of last year, because you said they're only

907
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 2: three and a half back from the top seed in East. True,

908
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 2: but they're like one and a half out of the

909
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: play in and like with all of these injuries in

910
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: these guys and trying to find like their role player

911
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: and who's playing and what is our starting five? I

912
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: mean they're starting five last night, it's like Hard and

913
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: Kyrie Claxton, Tag Mills, Kessler. Yeah, it's a you know,

914
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 2: it's a little odd, but could what happened to the

915
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 2: unfortunately the Lakers last year where it's like there's a

916
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 2: seventh seed and they're out in the first round. Could

917
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: that happen here to Brooklyn? Or you concerned at all?

918
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: Trey or is hard and sort of right, wait till

919
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: we get.

920
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: Our guys back, and we're fine, Absolutely no concern. I'm

921
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: with James Harden on this one because I think this

922
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: is just what the Nets are. They're like men's league

923
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: team in the summer. You never share who's actually gonna

924
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: show up, but you're like, oh, oh, we got five guys,

925
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: I guess we can go out there and play the

926
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: The fact of the matter is they do have Kevin Durant.

927
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: He'll be back eventually. They're twenty four and twelve, and

928
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: Durant plays five and ten when he doesn't. People were saying,

929
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: should the Nets lose a whole bunch of games so

930
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: they can be the road team on a playoff playing

931
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: series or a playoff series? Now they haven't. Everybody's like, whoa, whoa, wha, whoa,

932
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: whoa whoa. We didn't actually mean that. We were just

933
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: joking when we suggested it. But I have zero concerns

934
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: with this team. When Durant comes back, he's their best

935
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: defensive player, he's their best offensive player. He's one of

936
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: the two best in the league. They'll be fine.

937
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's hear from everybody in the stream. Team

938
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: everybody listening. Later, you can tweet at us at no

939
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: dunk sanka any concern about the Brooklyn Nets, or like

940
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: these guys, don't worry about it, like James Harden says.

941
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: Our next one, CBS Sports twenty twenty two NBA Slam

942
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: Dunk Contest. We got our four participants, Jalen Green, Obie Toppin,

943
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 2: Cold Anthony and JTA One Tuscano Anderson to participate. These

944
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: are the four trey Is this news?

945
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is news because it's official. Love to see

946
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: an official participant list. But like I've said, I'm trying

947
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: to keep my expectations low. Not helped at all by

948
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 1: Chuck Malan of Team Flight Brothers, a dunk coach who

949
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: said real talk, dun't contest about to be crazy. Saw

950
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: something I'd never seen today.

951
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 2: Apparently it was Obi Toppin. Oh, so you saw dunk

952
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 2: that he's never seen before.

953
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: Hmm, don't get with his feet. Wow, somebody does that,

954
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: they'll get a fifty guarantee. But honestly, this is a

955
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: nice crop. Let's take a look at this crop Jalen Green.

956
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: I think this is his contest to lose.

957
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think my favorite.

958
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the guy can get up. He's had some

959
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: nice dunks recently and that's also I think great to

960
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: get a really high pick into the contest, number two

961
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: in the draft this year. We've had trouble getting star

962
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: power in the dunk contest recently, so I think this

963
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: is really good. I'm still bullish on Obi Toppin in

964
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: the dunk contest. I think he's one of the rare

965
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: big guys who could actually win it. We'll see if

966
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: he does. It's hard to look impressive sometimes when you're

967
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he still jumps really high, but you know

968
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: he's starting from higher as well, so maybe he's gonna

969
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: have to go feet on this one. Cole Anthony, he's

970
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: been throwing it down recently. He had a massive dunk

971
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: against the Bulls and he hung on their rim, was

972
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: like to the point that they announcers were laughing at him,

973
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: and he got a technical. So you know he's getting

974
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: ready for the contest. And then once Ascano Anderson is

975
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: also in it, well, I don't know what to expect.

976
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: So apparently Anderson he's an athlete.

977
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: Draymond Green like, I don't say convinced him, but I

978
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: guess on the Dream on Green podcast, he was doing

979
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 2: his best to get all of the Warriors in this thing,

980
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 2: like he was upset with Andrew Wiggins tried to get

981
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 2: him to go in it. Gary Payton. Second, it's got hops,

982
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: you know as a small guy. And there's one more

983
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm forgetting, who the heck was it? Oh h Kaminga.

984
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: He's trying to get the rook to participate. Yeah, and

985
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 2: so then I guess one JTA let's call them that.

986
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: It's a lot easier, uh, you know, asked Draymond Green,

987
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: Like should I do it? And Draymond Green, I thought

988
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: I had a great answer. He's like, you'd be a

989
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 2: fool not to do it because this is one of

990
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: the biggest stages in the NBA. The only other bigger

991
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: stage is the NBA Finals. But that you're not a

992
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: guarantee to play in that, uh, you know when you're

993
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 2: a guy like him, So why not everybody's watching on

994
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 2: All Star weekend? You know, go make a name for yourself.

995
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: So Draymond Green was trying to get all four Warriors

996
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: guys in it, which hey, good on them. I like,

997
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 2: these guys are having to be encouraged. But yeah, J. T.

998
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: A is the one name that you're like, Okay.

999
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: Let's see see what he has.

1000
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: That's right.

1001
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: Never No, they're all bounty guys.

1002
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 2: You are you excited at all? Are you trying to

1003
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: lower your expectations.

1004
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 4: It's pretty much the same these days where it's like

1005
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 4: you just don't know. I thought last year Anthony Simons,

1006
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 4: I thought he was decent.

1007
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: You know, I watched I rewatched the highlights from last

1008
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 2: year's contests, the three guy. There was only three dunkers

1009
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 2: last year. There's no fans.

1010
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: It was a weird yeah.

1011
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it was Stanley from the Piecers and

1012
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: then it'll be Topping.

1013
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dunks were okay, Yeah, that's.

1014
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 4: What I thought. And over Topping, he's thrown between the

1015
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 4: legs dunks in games on fast break, so you know

1016
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 4: he's got athleticism there. Yeah, So good on them these.

1017
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 4: Like I said yesterday or the day before, if guys

1018
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 4: want to go in it, we have to encourage them

1019
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 4: because there's a bit of a stigma right now of

1020
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 4: people not wanting to go in it, and I think

1021
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 4: we need to sort of get people to be like, no,

1022
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 4: I really want to go and put on a show

1023
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 4: and see what I can do. That's why I love

1024
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,959
Speaker 4: Cole Anthony in there. I'm excited to see what he's got.

1025
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 4: He's a confident guy. He's got a bit of flair

1026
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 4: about him, so you know, maybe he can go out

1027
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 4: there and give us something we haven't seen before.

1028
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: I wish Anthrity Samons was defending the title because he

1029
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,760
Speaker 2: did have good dunks. And I always like the winner

1030
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: coming back in any of these contests, as we've typed before,

1031
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: trying to defend the crown. But what'd you think of

1032
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 2: these four tests pumped?

1033
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think they've done a good job of lowering

1034
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: expectations because there is no real star power in this

1035
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: contest and so yeah, she going you gotta go in

1036
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: with low expectations with all these guys, really, and so

1037
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 3: anybody can take it. It's anybody's game. It's a wide

1038
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 3: open contest. I think, as much as it is fun

1039
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 3: to watch the little guys like Jalen Green and Cole Anthony,

1040
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: Obi Topin could definitely win this. And want to kind

1041
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 3: of Underston. He does athletic things on a basketball floor.

1042
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 3: He really does he he is there spark plug in

1043
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 3: Golden State. Just turns it over a little too much,

1044
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 3: and you can turn it over during the slam dunk contest.

1045
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 3: It's fine, just pick it up and go do a duck. So,

1046
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 3: uh yeah, I think I think the NBA, yeah, there's

1047
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: no there's no high expectations, especially coming off last year.

1048
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 3: Anybody can win this thing. Anybody can be the story

1049
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 3: on Saturday Night. Draymond Green is smart though, telling his

1050
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 3: guys to go in. Yeah, Andrew Wigins never gone in it.

1051
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 4: No, he wouldn't go in to lost him a bad it.

1052
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 3: Remember, well, yeah, that was a painful question. He actually

1053
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 3: verbally or he just said, alike, there's a noise, Yeah,

1054
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: would you call would you call it? Verbatim was a word,

1055
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 3: not a word. It was a noise. And he said, oh,

1056
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 3: so he's not going in it now. And year eight

1057
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 3: it's it's just not.

1058
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: Cool enough, he told Draymond. I guess this is Draymond

1059
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 2: saying on this podcast, like, yeah, he said he's too old.

1060
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: What all NBA players, all NBA players think they're too

1061
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 3: old when they get to what he's like twenty seven? Yeah,

1062
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 3: what is he? What is he there?

1063
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: He's twenty eight nearly, Yeah, nearly twenty seven nearly.

1064
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 3: Wow, he's an old twenty six. You're not that old man.

1065
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: But all these guys in the contest are either year one.

1066
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: Anderson's older than that.

1067
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 3: That's not man, but but he's early in his NBA career, right,

1068
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: that's right? Is this year two for one? That's kind

1069
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 3: of Anderson? And and every guy here will be talking

1070
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 3: obviously year two, Jalen Green, year one and uh year

1071
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 3: what for Cole Anthony? So you're three to him already?

1072
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 4: He's two, isn't.

1073
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's too, isn't there?

1074
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

1075
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, you gotta be in your one or

1076
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 3: year two to go in this thing. That's the weird thing.

1077
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: I have been trying to find out, how are they

1078
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 2: doing the scoring this year because you might remember, because

1079
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 2: it sounds like you were maybe recently looking at it

1080
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 2: the final scoring last year in the finals, like because

1081
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: maybe because they only had three guys. Then the two

1082
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 2: went to the finals and they did differently. Each guy

1083
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: got one dunk to throw down, there was no score

1084
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 2: on it, and then the judges had to pick who

1085
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: had the better dunk right between. It ended up being

1086
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: like a three to two split. Obi Topping got two

1087
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: votes and then Anthony Simon's got three. So I wonder

1088
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 2: if they'll continue to do that. Do you like that

1089
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: idea instead of like at least in the finals part.

1090
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I guess they're trying to comparing to I

1091
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 4: guess they're trying to get away from just the like, well,

1092
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 4: this guy's got this number now, so the other guy

1093
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,720
Speaker 4: you sort of have to give him a certain number

1094
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 4: if you think he had a better dunk, do you

1095
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 4: know what I mean? Whereas now it's on myself, Oh

1096
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 4: that was just a better dunks.

1097
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 2: Or they're just trying to get away from the uh

1098
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: a bunch of tens all the time. Yeah, and then

1099
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 2: they just have to keep dunking and dunking and dunking

1100
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: because you can't theory tie if.

1101
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 4: You do it that way between the two. Yeah, it's tough, man.

1102
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 4: They've tried the sprite, they've tried the fans, they've tried

1103
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 4: the fan vote. No one was happy with that. So

1104
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 4: let the just meant one person decide that one person

1105
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 4: Dwayne Wade, Yeah, yeah, you won.

1106
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 3: Oh, Aaron Gordon would not like Dwayne Wade, Judge. I

1107
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 3: just hope everybody brings it on their first dunk. Obie

1108
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,720
Speaker 3: Topping has apparently I had a dunk we've never seen before.

1109
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: Gotta put it down.

1110
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: You gotta do it, man. The famous line here is, yeah,

1111
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 3: the first quarter doesn't matter. Well, the first dunk matters.

1112
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 3: You can win this thing with the first dunk.

1113
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 4: You can.

1114
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 3: You could just win the crowd if you do something special,

1115
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 3: then you've got this this bias over everybody else everybody. Well,

1116
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 3: you can do it just first dunk or else you

1117
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 3: lose the crowd. Else you lose everybody.

1118
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. And Stanley even last year again no crowd,

1119
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: so different circumstances. But he had an awesome first dunk

1120
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 2: if you if you remember, it was incredible, like the

1121
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 2: guy has stupid hops. But then his second dunk, he

1122
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: couldn't put it down. He missed and missed and miss

1123
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 2: and then finally just threw down somewhat of a normal

1124
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 2: dunk and that hurt his score and then he wasn't

1125
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: going to the finals. You gotta gotta execute them.

1126
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: You gotta make your dunks. Gotta make your dunks at

1127
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: the very least, having it not be at the halftime

1128
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: of the All Star Game, it's gonna be.

1129
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be better.

1130
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: But when you I like the idea of waiting until

1131
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: after seeing the dunks to judge them. But I don't

1132
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: like the idea of they're not being ties because that

1133
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah you're like, okay, cool, let's roll them

1134
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: back out here.

1135
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, they don't do that.

1136
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's also like it's almost like they should

1137
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: judge every round after all four guys go, you know,

1138
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: like everybody does their four dunks. That one was a fifty,

1139
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: that was a forty eight, that was forty seven, that

1140
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: was a forty five.

1141
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: I sort of agree with that, because again, whoever does

1142
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: dunk first. Usually if you go back and look at

1143
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: all the dunk contests, the score is like generally lower

1144
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: than you would expect because they're just like, well, that's

1145
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,959
Speaker 2: the first dunk of the right, they're not they can't

1146
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 2: compare it against anything.

1147
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: I go with a nine on this one. Yeah there

1148
00:50:58,640 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: might be something.

1149
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, they to play it safe, and again, like the

1150
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 2: Stanley first dunk, I think that's exactly what happened. It

1151
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 2: was like it got scored and you're like, what, that's

1152
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 2: sort of it. And then you saw the other nights, like, oh,

1153
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 2: that was probably better. So yeah, we'll see. We'll be

1154
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 2: watching regardless. I love the Dunk Con because I don't

1155
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 2: care who's in it. I know some people are over it,

1156
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 2: but I'm a sucker for it. Well, speaking of All

1157
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: Star Weekend, here had a late headline slip in. We're

1158
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 2: actually giving it to Nick Depaula, who maybe started his

1159
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 2: own website. For all we know, it's by way of

1160
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 2: Twitter NBA overhauls. It's All Star Weekend trophies and jad

1161
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 2: I think you've got the photos here. We got a

1162
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 2: new All Star Game MVP trophy again named after Kobe Bryant.

1163
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 2: So there's a look at that one. And then there's

1164
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 2: some like there's a new Skills Challenge trophy, yes, as

1165
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 2: well as a new three point trophy. So I guess

1166
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 2: they're not touching the Dunk Contest trophy, which is good.

1167
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: I mean that's a that's a beauty, so I hope

1168
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,919
Speaker 2: they don't mess around with that. Yes, here's a look

1169
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 2: close up at the the three point Contests trophy. So

1170
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: I guess you know, tass.

1171
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 3: I love them, you love it all. I like the

1172
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 3: first two. I don't mind the Kobe one for the

1173
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 3: MVP as well. Yeah, it looks like they're connected.

1174
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 2: A little like the Stanley Cup, does it not? The

1175
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: shape of it as it builds up major, Yeah, a

1176
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 2: little bit, a little bit.

1177
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 3: It's clear though, it is clear.

1178
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: It's true. You can't put anything in drink anything in it.

1179
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 4: No.

1180
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the best part about the Dunk contaest trophy,

1181
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 3: like our man Brent Barry did cut it in half

1182
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: and made it a chip bowl because it's a yeah

1183
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 3: shape of a basketball. So yeah, I guess when it

1184
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 3: comes down to it, every winner gets the trophy up,

1185
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: you know, a replica version of it. And so this

1186
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 3: is a cool mantlepiece. We're looking at the most Valuable

1187
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 3: Player for the All Star Game named after Kobe Bryant.

1188
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 3: Here the multi tiers. It's nice to have on the mantlepiece.

1189
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: It's pretty big. It's like two feet tall.

1190
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks really size.

1191
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: I mean not the size of steel the cup, but

1192
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 2: it's pretty big. What do you think, Tray, you like

1193
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: this one or all these other ones we were saying there, Yeah,

1194
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 2: I suppose I like these. Fine, the previous All Star

1195
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: MVP trophy.

1196
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: It's just kind of like a like a clear, flat basketball, right,

1197
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: So I do like the idea of upgrading it, making

1198
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: it a little bit more substantial. Looks all right?

1199
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: Why didn't they.

1200
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: Do the dunk contest one?

1201
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 4: Though?

1202
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: If they did all the other ones.

1203
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 2: Maybe they were just like, it's too iconic. I guess

1204
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, that's my best. Yeah,

1205
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 2: it is good. I don't think you need to really, Yeah.

1206
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: I guess it was the best one. What was the

1207
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: three point contest? What was it?

1208
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 2: Any idea? I can't remember.

1209
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think what they would sort of sit

1210
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 4: there in the press conference off to with. Was it

1211
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 4: just the Bowl?

1212
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what the dunk contest one?

1213
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think it was.

1214
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that makes it super weird to me.

1215
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 3: But I think the only memorable one is the dunk contest,

1216
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 3: and that's why you think the three point contest one

1217
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 3: is a ball.

1218
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1219
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 3: I can't remember the three point three point shot. Definitely

1220
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: don't remember the skills challenge.

1221
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, it's I mean, it's almost it's almost

1222
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 2: identical really though to the dunk contest one. Pretty similar, well,

1223
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 2: the little pedestal or whatever base and then yeah, golden ball. Okay,

1224
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: so now they're gonna have this one. Lee, You're you're

1225
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 2: the three point shooter?

1226
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1227
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,959
Speaker 2: What do you think it looks like a cologne bottle? Yeah?

1228
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. I look, Steph broke the record last year.

1229
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 4: I want to see if he can break the record again.

1230
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 4: This is because I think he will go and I

1231
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 4: don't think it's been announcer.

1232
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 2: You know, we don't know the participants.

1233
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 4: That looks almost like a building sort of of some description.

1234
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 4: It's like, you know what it looks like where Clark

1235
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 4: Kent used to work at The Daily Planet. Yeah, that's

1236
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 4: what it looks like there.

1237
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: So totally yeah, okay, man, that makes now it makes

1238
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: me a little upset that they didn't change the dunk contest,

1239
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: especially at the three point one and the Skills Challenge match.

1240
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't remember what the Skills Challenge trophy used to

1241
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: look like. I'm guessing a gold ball though, I'm just guessing.

1242
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: So why do they keep the dunk contest? I don't know,

1243
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: bring back the horse trophy? Just plastic in a box.

1244
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 2: Final headline here from the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Skeets and

1247
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: so they had to cover something great to be back

1284
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 2: You know, how was the basketball? It was rough? It

1285
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 2: was rough. Not a lot of jump shots made. There's

1286
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 2: a lot of interior work. Trey played well inside nah

1287
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 2: Trump By the way, Trey was tracking how many rebounds

1288
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 2: he was grabbing on.

1289
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: The night, Yeah, I was a little pissed. I ended

1290
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: up we played four games. We played for fifty five minutes,

1291
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: only fifteen rebounds. I was going for twenty. I wanted

1292
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: that big beef, but Skeets grabbed like the first three rebounds.

1293
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: I was like, come on, man, I know we had

1294
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: an agreement here. Russell Westbrook.

1295
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 2: It was so funny though, to hear him in and

1296
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 2: pick up basketball and be like four five counting your rea.

1297
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great, that's great.

1298
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: It's got the.

1299
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 4: Passions to there was there any clashing? I mean sometimes? Yeah.

1300
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I dove for a loose bell in the ground,

1301
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: so stupid, you think that's dumb. Another guy dove on

1302
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: top of me, smashed my head on the ground. Postgame

1303
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: press conference, I was sitting down. They asked me, what'd

1304
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: you think of Kelvin diving on your head? I said,

1305
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: that's unprofessional, man, disrespectful to be diving like that. I

1306
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: know we're all trying to make a living here. I

1307
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: gotta go to real work the next day.

1308
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 4: I wish there was some sel fine footage of that one.

1309
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 4: That would have been great.

1310
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:52,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1311
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 2: That was pretty good, A lot of fun. Final final

1312
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: note on this, because I know no one really cares.

1313
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,959
Speaker 2: I hadn't played in so long. I honestly I didn't

1314
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 2: know what to do on defense. I forgot how to

1315
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 2: play defense. I'm like obviously playing my guy, sort of

1316
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 2: tracking him, and he was like, he lives around on

1317
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: the three point line, So that was okay, But I'm like,

1318
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 2: am I helping?

1319
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 4: Am I cupping over it? I was just like, so

1320
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 4: out of sort, what are we running on defense?

1321
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm useless. I'm like, Trey, you better

1322
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 2: stand for your guy because I'm not coming.

1323
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 4: Over because I uh, that's father coming for you. Man. Man,

1324
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 4: it wasn't have to play defense when you turn forty,

1325
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 4: you're forty. Now are you forty one?

1326
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 2: I still want to play defense. I want to bring

1327
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: that to the league. So that's how I'm sticking around this.

1328
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 4: Trey was thriving on a board. I was like, what's

1329
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 4: going on, man?

1330
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: I was just doing the dirty work last night, mate.

1331
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 3: That's it.

1332
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: Set in screens, diamond on the floor, all the things.

1333
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,439
Speaker 2: I hate basketball. I love talking about basketball for a living,

1334
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: but nothing beats playing it. Still to this day, I

1335
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 2: hope that never changes, even when i'm your agely.

1336
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: It's a great game.

1337
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna take our final break when we come back.

1338
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: A fun tweet of the night picking results, I don't

1339
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 2: go anywhere. Let's get to tweet of the night.

1340
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 3: Tweet of the Knight.

1341
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: Wow, today's tweet of the Knight comes from inside the building.

1342
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: I believe this is pronounced Toss Maloss. That's a tweet

1343
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: from Toss Maloss, who shows us an incident in last

1344
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: night's Celtics game where some boots, some boots got straight

1345
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: up dirtied by some powder.

1346
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 4: Here.

1347
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to pay close attention. Jason Tatum, like

1348
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: angry throws down a bottle of powder. Is that a bottle?

1349
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, you carry a powder in whatever it is,

1350
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: and it explodes all over this guy's feet, just coating

1351
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: his feet. Babeah, man, it looks like they're fingerprinting for

1352
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: a crime I'm seeing here. The crazy thing to me

1353
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 1: is that he didn't like instantly bend over and start

1354
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: cleaning up the boots. Yeah, it goes like I just

1355
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: sat there. Would you be mad if this happened to

1356
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: your boots?

1357
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 2: I think you would just react. I don't know if

1358
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 2: I'd be mad, but you definitely were like wow. But yeah,

1359
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 2: he's just like stone cold, like I.

1360
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Guess I got powder boots now?

1361
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, what can I do? He was loving it. I

1362
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 3: think he was startled. He Jason Tatum was close to him.

1363
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 3: If you watch the footage, he's just huge, smile ear

1364
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 3: to ear.

1365
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 4: I don't.

1366
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 3: I guess from our camera angle you see the powder

1367
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 3: on the boots, but I don't. I don't even know

1368
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 3: if he knew.

1369
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he didn't know.

1370
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 3: I don't think he knew.

1371
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: Finally looked down, He's like, what, boot Man, were you

1372
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the first person that noticed this?

1373
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 3: I think I'm the only human in the world that

1374
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 3: noticed this. I think I don't know.

1375
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the perfect Tastmelist sort of noticed

1376
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: to me something in the background, and it's barely even

1377
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: on screen because you couldn't even go with like the

1378
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: full screen picture of it. You just had to go

1379
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: for a nine by sixteen I saw with your tweet there,

1380
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: but it made its way around to like your House

1381
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: of Highlights channel and that kind of stuff.

1382
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 3: So Jason Tatum retweeted it. That's that's how it got

1383
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 3: around for sure. But you can see the smile in

1384
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 3: that guy's His eyes are smiling behind the mask. Even

1385
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 3: you can see his smile. He's just pumped. He I

1386
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 3: have that powder on his boots and as I said,

1387
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: his boots look ten million times cooler after the powder,

1388
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 3: whether it's weathered like these boots some ship.

1389
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 4: That's why he didn't stop brushing, like, Yeah, this is good.

1390
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 4: What didn't Jyson Titus say he's going to get into

1394
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 3: nothing new, just he knows, he knows he likes his

1395
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 3: stuff old and used. I guess because he didn't clean

1396
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 3: off those new boots. Yeah, those look way cooler for sure.

1397

01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 2: from last night brought to you by Bett MGM thunder

1400
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 2: Mavericks was our game. It was a big line. Dallas

1401
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 2: was favored by eleven and a half. And again I

1402
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 2: sat here and I doubted myself yesterday because a lot

1403
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 2: of us took Dallas. Ah Jesus, I put too much

1404
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 2: thought into this, and.

1405
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 4: I was right.

1406
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 2: Got to pick with your gun, pick with your heart,

1407
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 2: and h Lee did because you took okay see is

1408
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 2: that what you did? Or did you just swerve because

1409
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 2: everybody else took Dallas?

1410
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 4: Good of both?

1411
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1412
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 2: Nice? Well you're two and zero. Nice victory as a

1413
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: okay see not only covered, they of course won in

1414
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 2: overtime thanks to Dort. So that's a loss for me

1415
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,439
Speaker 2: and Trey one to one and a loss for Task

1416
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,440

1417
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 2: So what's tonight's game?

1418
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh?

1419
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 3: We got a six game schedule. That's comprised of four

1420
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 3: regularly scheduled games and two makeups Bowls, Wraps and heat

1421
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 3: Spurs from earlier in the season. I went with a

1422
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 3: big line again because I'm just on a big line

1423
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 3: kick the Timberwolves visiting the Detroit Pistons. Pistons are seven

1424
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: and a half point dogs at home, so just have

1425
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 3: to lose by seven or less. And there you guys

1426
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 3: go picking the better team again, gets stray and Lee

1427
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 3: taking the Wolves. You know, I left it out there.

1428
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 3: I didn't know who I wanted to take, so you

1429
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 3: guys took the first first crack at it all. You

1430
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 3: guys took the Wolves, So I said, right, who the

1431
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 3: heck knows what's gonna happen? I got the Pistons plus

1432
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:04,720
