1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was a living drop.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: I didn't think your heal.

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,320

Speaker 1: February seventeenth at the Urban Lounge. I am getting very

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,639
Speaker 1: very excited to be back on stage with you guys,

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: talking some hoops and talking to a live studio audience.

34

Speaker 5: Be great, cannout, wait to touch the stage again. Here's

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 5: a random request. If you know anything about Salt Lake

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 5: City or Utah culture, send it in so we can

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 5: do an updown report on what's going down in Salt

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 5: Lake City. Obviously it's the home of jazz, the jazz,

39
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 5: the Utah jazz. They've got valleys, they've got beautiful mountains.

40
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: But what else is there?

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Let us know, right, so we can do like a yeah,

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: a Utah version of the updown Report live on stage,

43
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: like we did that in Chicago last time we did

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: a live show. I liked that idea, so Yeah, also

45
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: tell us like where we should go, Like what are

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: the must I don't know, must eat at restaurants or

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: bars to attend.

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 5: We're already going at Blue Jeans, so don't worry about that.

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 5: We'll be at Blue Jeans.

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: We'll be Yes.

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Maybe we're going to the only two places in Salt

52
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: Lake City blue Jeans in the Urban Lounge. We're just

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: checking them out anyway, let us know. Tweet in your suggestions,

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: email them in no dunks at the Athletic dot com.

55
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: We'd really appreciate it. Okay, the twenty twenty three NBA

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: All Star starters they were revealed. Once again. It's going

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: to be Team Lebron versus Team Giannis after those to

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: lead their respective conferences in total votes. But let's look

59
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: at the ten stars of stars here in the East.

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: The backcourt, it's Kyrie Irving and Donovan Mitchell. The front court,

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: your FC, it's Kadi, Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum, and Yannis,

62
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: like I said, is the captain. Okay, let's jump over

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: to the west. Your guards are Curry and Luca. Hopefully

64
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: he's okay after that little twist of the ankle there

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: last night. And your forwards, Lebron as the captain, Jokic

66
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: and Zion. Williamson sneaks in there in the end before

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: we get to making our picks, because that's what we're

68
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: doing here for a majority of this drop podcast, debating

69
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: our reserves. Any takeaways or surprises tasks from the ten

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: starters announced last night.

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: The Zion one is definitely somewhat surprising. It's always, you know,

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: we always got to dig in and see who the

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: players voted for, who the fans voted for, and who

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: the media voted for. That's the most part. The difference

75
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: between the players and the media is always interesting to me.

76
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: Like the players vote Janni says their number one forward

77
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference, He's the rock, He's always going

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: to be there, while the media voted him fourth and

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: players had players had actually sorry, he was second. The

80
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: media had Tatum as their best forward. Tatum was fourth

81
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: among the players. It's all convoluted. It's all convoluted. As

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 3: I make this more convoluted. Same thing with the guards.

83
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: The players have Kyrie number one, while the media had

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: him fourth behind Mitchell, Jaylen Brown, and Haliburton. But this

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: one was the most shocking to me. The players had

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: Tray Young as the twelfth best guard in the Eastern Conference,

87
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: not in the NBA. In the Eastern Conference twenty seven points,

88
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: and tennisist Trey Young. He received thirteen votes from all

89
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: the players in the league. Trey Young has thirteen teammates,

90
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: So what the hell happened with those votes? Did some

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: of his teammates not vote for him? Did NBA players

92
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: not vote for him? Well, that's the mystery. That's the

93
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: investigation that someone has to do. Literally, thirteen votes from

94
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: all the players in the league. Listen to the guys

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: ahead of them. LaMelo Ball, who has barely played in

96
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: is on one of the worst teams in the NBA.

97
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: Tyler Hero had the same amount of votes. Terry Rozier

98
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: almost had the same amount of votes. That's a mystery.

99
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: Somebody's got to figure that one out.

100
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, but the truth is, all of those

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: guys who just listed should have zero votes if the

102
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: players took it actually seriously and didn't vote just for

103
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: their buddies and teammates and stuff like that. We're only

104
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: voting for the starters. Like there's like three, four, maybe

105
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: five guys, okay, but the rest of these.

106
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: Guys has twenty savage points and tennis perme, he should

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: have default throw him votes a guy who's been an

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: Alstar before to have as many votes as LaMelo Ball,

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: the guy who didn't start the season for I didn't

110
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: play for a long time and is on one of

111
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: the worst teams. Trey is on a five hundred team.

112
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: I understand that other players definitely took into account the

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: Nate McMillen issue, the whole thing going around the front office,

114
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: But to have the exact same amount as like a

115
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: Tyler hero, it's surprising to me.

116
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: What do you got, Trey? Any other takeaways surprises?

117
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 5: While I was pleasantly surprised to see that Zion was

118
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 5: the third front court starter in the Western Conference because

119
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 5: I thought his All Star case as a reserve was

120
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 5: gonna be one of the trickiest and one of the

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: hardest to decide if he should make it with regards

122
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 5: to how awesome he was when he was on the

123
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 5: court versus how much he's been on the court. So

124
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: thank you for doing our job for us there throwing

125
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 5: him in as the third starter, I thought that was nice.

126
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 5: I was surprised to see that Yannis got more player

127
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: votes than Kevin Durant. I thought Kevin Durant was like

128
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: the Kyrie Irving of Eastern Conference front court, would be

129
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 5: the number one vote getter because you guys got the

130
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 5: deepest bat in the game. As for a takeaway, it's

131
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: gonna be pretty weird if we actually get to the

132
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: All Star Game. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers are the

133
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 5: one seed in the Eastern Conference and Joelle Embiid is

134
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: leading the league in scoring.

135
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: But is it starting.

136
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody was gonna be left out in the Eastern

137
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 5: Conference front court. We all knew that was gonna happen.

138
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: With the way the percentages are weighed, it all makes

139
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 5: sense why it went.

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: Down like that.

141
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: But it is gonna look strange if the Sixers have

142
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: the best record in the league and the guy leading

143
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: the league in scoring and he's coming off the bench.

144
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 5: But that's just how it had to be this year.

145
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: I don't know who you would actually have chosen to

146
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 5: send to the bench. I kind of think it would

147
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 5: be honest, that would be my number four vote getter

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: in the Eastern Conference front court personally, And you know,

149
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 5: I don't think he's came off the bench in an

150
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: All Star Game yet.

151
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: So just give him a taste, see what it's like.

152
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

153
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, A big part of that, I mean task was

154
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: going through it is with Embiid. The players in the

155
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: media had him starting, right, they ranked him third in

156
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: the East front court, but the fans of course had

157
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: him fourth, with Tatum sort of edging ahead of him.

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: And then yeah, the media had Tatum first. So when

159
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: you start doing the whole the weighted calculation with the

160
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: fans fifty percent, players and media twenty five percent, that

161
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: got Tatum in there and Embiid that's the big man.

162
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: That's the big man issue, right. I think that's the

163
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: big man problem with the fans voting him forth behind

164
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: the Ears, Durant and Tatum. Big man just don't get

165
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: the love. They don't get the shoe deals, they don't

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: get the love. That's the way it is.

167
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: Might be a part of it. My only other notes

168
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: from the starters here. Donovan Mitchell first time starting an

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: All Star Game in his first year in Cleveland. Pretty cool.

170
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: Obviously he's made the team a couple times, but that's amazing.

171
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: And you know, there was no debate there. He was

172
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: basically a lock to be one of those starting guards

173
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: in the East and then Lebron James record tying nineteenth

174
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: selection here. He has started every All Star game since

175
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and five we started, you know, basically podcasting.

176
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: He served as a captain every season since the NBA

177
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: implemented the draft format. We know that he's never lost

178
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: as a captain here, but his nineteenth bid ties him

179
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: with Kareem Abdul Jabbar, who appeared in every All Star

180
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: Game from seventy to eighty nine, with the exception of

181
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: one year where he broke his right hand like two

182
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: minutes into the season, punched somebody on Milwaukee. I believe

183
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Kareem did and missed a good, good chunk of time.

184
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: And I guess if Lebron plays in this game in

185
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City, and why wouldn't he, he will become

186
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: the first player in NBA history to actually appear in

187
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,119
Speaker 1: nineteen games. Because there was some other game where Kareem

188
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: was selected but didn't play. I think it was like

189
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: the early seventies, maybe nineteen seventy three. So Lebron, I mean,

190
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I know, it's every second night there's something he's doing

191
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: where it's like, WHOA, that's a record breaking thing. Oh,

192
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: that's a new longevity record, but nineteen times, and I

193
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: don't see why it doesn't make the All Star Game

194
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: next year too, Like so I think, man, it's just

195
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: it's just wild. So those are my other notes, and

196
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: then the injury parts. And I know it might come

197
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: into play here when we talk about our reserves. But

198
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, Zion is out though he's selected as a starter.

199
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: Durant is out though he's selected as a starter. I

200
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: make note of this because the NBA commissioner, Adam Silver,

201
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: will determine any injury replacements, and he has traditionally selected

202
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: a player from the same conference if he needs to

203
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: replace that injured player, and usually just like who is

204
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: next in the voting of that positional group, right, He's very,

205
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: very rarely, if any times, has gone from like, oh,

206
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: this forward is injured, so we'll just go straight up

207
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: with a guard and stuff like that. He likes to

208
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: sort of just like go like, okay, who's sort of next.

209
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: So that might come into play here if we get

210
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: into some injury replacements.

211
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: I let you just let me just jump on your

212
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: Lebron comment about him likely playing. I do want to

213
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: just say it's kind of cool to hear like Kevin

214
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: Durant who is injured now say I want to play.

215
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: I want to be out there, to still have that

216
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: excitement here at you know a year was it sixteen

217
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: for him in the NBA to still want to be

218
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: out there, and you know he's excited for He's a

219
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: basketball nerd, so of course he's excited for it. But

220
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: some guys, you know, you see some guys like a

221
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: Jimmy or Hard and don't necessarily care all the time.

222
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: But Durantz having his best season and the players love him,

223
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: as Trey mentioned, and he should he should be out there.

224
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Hopefully he will be. I imagine he's gonna be healthy

225
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: in three weeks. As you said, that's twenty three days away.

226
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: He wants to be out there. He seems like a

227
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 3: fast healer. So hopefully for him, he'll be out there

228
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: because he is a basketball nerd. He loves it. He

229
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: wants to be out there.

230
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully he's Ion and Durant and of course Luca

231
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: if it's not too serious with that ankle or all playing,

232
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: and even some of these other guys that are sort

233
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: of like banged up a little bit. Hopefully we have

234
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the whole crew there in Salt Lake City. This is

235
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: Durant's thirteenth All Star team, by the way, too, Like

236
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: he missed the first two years of his career and

237
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: then he only missed that one year where he was

238
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: completely injured, didn't play at all with the achilles injury.

239
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Otherwise he's always an All Star. Okay, let's get to

240
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: make it our picks once again. We'll start in the

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: East East Coast bias. The starters. You see it there,

242
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Kyrie Donovan, Mitchell, Kevin Durant, Jason Tatum, and you're honest,

243
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: So that job is done for us. We don't need

244
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to debate who's starting. It's been selected. I guess the

245
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: best way to go about this is to like go

246
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: through our locks that we all agree on and like

247
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe touch on them briefly and then get into the

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: real debates, which are probably anywhere between you know, two

249
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: to four spots.

250
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 3: Right.

251
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: So, Joel Embiid leading the league in scoring, like you said,

252
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: thirty three point four points per game. He second only

253
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: to Yo Kitchen player efficiency rating. He's played thirty five games,

254
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: which definitely is enough for me. Joel Embiid thumbs up

255
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: from everyone on making your All Star reserve pick. There

256
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: in the East, lock them in. That's an easy one.

257
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, let's.

258
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: Stick the bigs. Is Bam out of Bayo of the

259
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Miami Heat a lock for everybody to make their All

260
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: Star teams averaging twenty two to ten and three as

261
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: the Heat have come up here in the East conference standings,

262
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: or does anyone want to push back and say a lock?

263
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

264
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: I got him locked in for sure, and looking at

265
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: the way the players voted having him as the fifth

266
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: highest forward, which was a little surprising to me. But

267
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: he's higher than his teammate and Jimmy Butler, higher than

268
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: Julius Randall, higher than Pascal Siakams. So if coaches think

269
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: like the players when they make their reserve picks, Bam

270
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: has a very very very good shot of getting in.

271
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: And he's a lock for me because he's been the

272
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 3: most important Heat player.

273
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 5: Okay, Trey, Yeah, I'm one hundred percent with tasks. The

274
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: question for me is going to be do the Heat

275
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 5: deserve two All Stars? And the question isn't is Bam

276
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 5: the second one? Bam for me is locked in as

277
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: the first All Star. And I think that it's not

278
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 5: just a two way play thing. It's his offense has

279
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: been incredible this year, and they've had, you know a

280
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: lot of guys in and out.

281
00:13:59,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: Of the lineup.

282
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 5: Seen Bam drag the heat to wins just like Jimmy has.

283
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's an easy lock for me.

284
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So those are two let's you know, call him

285
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Biggs there in the reserves. Two guards that should be locks,

286
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I think for both of you guys agreeing with me,

287
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown of the Boston Celtics and Tyre's Halliburton of

288
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers. Yes, and yes, yes and yes.

289
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 5: I thought they both had at times starting cases for

290
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference All Star second starting spot like Mitchell,

291
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 5: to me, has been locked in for quite some time

292
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 5: as a starter, and honestly, in the past month since

293
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: Kevin Grant went out, Kyrie has kind of cemented himself

294
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 5: as a starter as well. But Halliburton leading the league

295
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: in assists until James Harden qualifies, I think that's an

296
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 5: easy choice. Been super fun to watch put the Pacers

297
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: back on the map for a team that's surprised everybody.

298
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 5: And then Jalen Brown, I mean, he's the second best

299
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 5: player on the Celtics by a hair barely you know, yeah,

300
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 5: maybe his he's not feeling the greatest today after last night,

301
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 5: but once he gets that All Star reserve, no things

302
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 5: will cheer up a little bit.

303
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: Tess, Yeah, that's totally true about Jae leb Brown. The

304
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: way he's been baling other than those free throws. The

305
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: Haliburton thing is is phenomenal. I know, we continuously say

306
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: stuff about Lebron every single year. Feels like we've said

307
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: the same thing about Haliburton since he's had more opportunities

308
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: with the Pacers, and that is he's stayed efficient and

309
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: I think that is the remarkable thing. But he's he's

310
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: just he's just that smart and that he doesn't, you know,

311
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: take shots that are outside of his capabilities. His true

312
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: shooting percentage, the real percentage, I think I'm going to

313
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: say that a lot as we get into the comparisons

314
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: between players, is well above the league average. And that

315
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: is impressive because he's the league guard on that team

316
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: and he could easily try and take more shots and

317
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: shots outside of his capabilities, but he doesn't, and that's

318
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: why his numbers are. His percentages are basically the same

319
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: as when he was with the Kings, when he was

320
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: a young player, so he deserves it. He's he's been

321
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: extremely steady.

322
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: I will I almost want to lock it in. I

323
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: almost want to bet on it if I could, that

324
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: Lebron will draft Tyrese Haliburton to his All Star team.

325
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna want a playmaker that wants to like, obviously

326
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: just move the rock, play with some pace, obviously efficient.

327
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what a year twenty ten and four with

328
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: sexy shooting splits of forty eight, forty and eighty eight.

329
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's flirting there with the fifty to forty

330
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: ninety club. I feel like Lebron will want him on

331
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: his team. And then Jillen Brown, Yeah, twenty seven and seven,

332
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: highest field goal percentage of his career at around forty

333
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: nine percent. I think a lot of people thought he

334
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: should have been starting alongside Donovan Mitchell, Like Trey was saying,

335
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: so those guys are locks. Okay, So that's Embiid, that's Bam,

336
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: that's Jayleen Brown, that's Tyrese Haliburton. If we're following the rules,

337
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: we are supposed to fill out our ballot with three

338
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: frontcore players. When it comes to the reserves, two guards,

339
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: and then two wild carts. You can go wherever you want.

340
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: So if we want to do that, let's try and

341
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: figure out that third forward on our you know team here.

342
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: And we can have more than that if we want,

343
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: but at least let's get that third trey. I got

344
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: a couple names to chuck at you. I feel like

345
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Julius Randall, Siakam, I mean, DeRozan is her forward, is

346
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: her guard? I feel like those are the names at

347
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: the top of the front court next, you know, sort

348
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: of tier. Is there anyone I'm forgetting? Or who would

349
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: you like to go to bat four? First?

350
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: You mentioned the guy on going to bat four, And

351
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 5: I never feel more caught in the moment than when

352
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 5: I'm watching basketball games and making my All Star reserve picks.

353
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 4: Julius Randolph is.

354
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: A lockout timing on this guy.

355
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, twenty five points per game, eleven rebounds for assists,

356
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 5: He's shooting forty six percent from the field, The knicks

357
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 5: are good. He was on fire last night. Fun to watch.

358
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 5: Talk about a roller coaster ride for this guy. All

359
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 5: NBA All Star A couple of seasons ago, thumbs down,

360
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 5: last year, we're thumbs up again. I think Randal to

361
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 5: me is the locked in All Star from the Knicks.

362
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: Certainly we're going to hear cases from Jalen Brunson coming forward,

363
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 5: but if you're filling out a legal ballot here, you

364
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 5: need to get another frontcourt player in there.

365
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: Randall has got to be the guy.

366
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: Okay, tass agree or disagree with that one.

367
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: I'm totally with Trey. I don't know if I'm in

368
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: the moment either, but I had Brunson for a while

369
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: at the first couple months of the season because he

370
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: turned around the team. They were a sub five hundred

371
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: team and now they're a plus five hundred team. And

372
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: I think he is the reason that Randal was able

373
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 3: to take it to another level, because he's that rock

374
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 3: and because he was steady, and because Randall doesn't have

375
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: to be a number one guy anymore, or it doesn't

376
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: have the number one pressure anymore, doesn't have to do

377
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: absolutely everything. Randall took it to another level in December,

378
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: and that's when I started to to really notice Randall

379
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: as everybody did. He's been ridiculous the last couple months

380
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: and so he's been more efficient. He's the guy from

381
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: the Knicks. I do agree, after comparing them and comparing

382
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: guys like you know, potential guys like Siakam or DeRozan

383
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: if you show meta forward spot or whoever. Yeah, I

384
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 3: think Randall will get there.

385
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with you, guys. Randall's on He's on my

386
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: team here. He has had impeccable timing with this, playing

387
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: the best basketball of his season, you know, the last

388
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: month or so, where his numbers have sort of like skyrocketed.

389
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: Now he's throwing down dunks on national television, hitting threes.

390
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: He's on fire right now. Let's get this guy in

391
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: the three point contest for crying out loud. I think

392
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: Jolen Brunson deserves a hell of a lot of credit too,

393
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: like you were saying, tasks for getting the Knicks back

394
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: to a respectable record here, and just for how he's played.

395
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: And I know we'll get into his numbers and his

396
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: clutch play and all that. They start to go hand

397
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: in hand and they maybe both should make it. I've

398
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: been shocked to see some ballots from some people in

399
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: the media that have no Nicks on their team, and

400
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't get there. So, okay, we're all

401
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: agreeing that is uh is at least on our team.

402
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: So that's five names. There's only two spots left, and uh,

403
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: we've hit our quota on the front court and the guards,

404
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: so we can get wild with it. These are a

405
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: wild card.

406
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 4: Down and pick anybody he wants.

407
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you want me to chuck a bunch of

408
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: names at you. We obviously said Siakam who will still

409
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: be in the running here, DeRozan Jimmy Butler is always

410
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: a fascinating one. You talked about whether or not you'd

411
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: have two heat on your team there, Trey Gyllen Brunson

412
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: of course, and then you know, Task off the top

413
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: talking about where's the love for Trey Young with the

414
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, the numbers he puts up, maybe not the

415
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: greatest efficiency is here and this team sort of struggling.

416
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: I think Darius Garland for some reason is being oddly

417
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: overlooked in this conversation, and uh, James Harden and Drew Holiday.

418
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: I'll end it there. I'm sure we'll do, Hey what

419
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: about this guy at the end of this? But that's

420
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I gave you, like, what was

421
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: that at least eight names for two spots. Task, Let's

422
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: start with you. There is there one name with that

423
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: group or maybe someone I missed that You're like, they

424
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: got to be on my team.

425
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 3: No, definitely, definitely, it's one of those guys. I do

426
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 3: feel like a coach here. I'm going with a guy

427
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: who's been there, done that, and that's what coaches do

428
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: in this circumstance, they say, Okay, I feel like a

429
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 3: lot of these guys are sort of equal. Before we

430
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 3: get to the seventh spot, which was my controversial spot,

431
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: the sixth spot for me was DeMar DeRozan. The sixth

432
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 3: years for me, he's had a ridiculous year. Maybe it's

433
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: the numbers that are influencing me to some degree, but

434
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: he's he's been above average efficiency wise, which some people

435
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: who cares I get that, But twenty six, five and

436
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: five ninety percent from the line essentially on really good percentages,

437
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: doesn't have to shoot the three. That's how good he is.

438
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: I you know, when we compare him to some of

439
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: the other names, like you said, Siakam Trey, I guess

440
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: we go Jimmy Harden or whoever. He's been the steadiest.

441
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 3: I know his team is probably the worst of all

442
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 3: of them except for Siakam's. But I went with the

443
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: steady Freddy. I didn't. I didn't I couldn't. I just

444
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: couldn't penalize him in any way. He's just been h

445
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: He's been there all year long, and yeah his team

446
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: has been bad around him, but he's been great, so

447
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: I got no problem putting him on.

448
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: This is the issue here, Trey. It's like, if the

449
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: Raptors and Bulls were just like just even five hundred,

450
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: just around five hundred, then I think this would be

451
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: so simple. We would be we would be like, no brainer, Siakam,

452
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: no brainer, Derozen Here we go done. But because they're

453
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: so far down in the standings and all of those

454
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: other guys I listed are just as deserving and on

455
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: better teams and maybe even playing better. Like this is

456
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: where it gets tough for me. But you're a Bulls guy,

457
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: did you do you have DeRozan sort of where I

458
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: had task had him in his rankings.

459
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: I'm just so thankful that made the case he made

460
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: right now, because if I showed up here on this

461
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 5: podcast after the Bulls Law to the Charlotte Hornets and

462
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 5: made a case for Demarta Rosan as an All Star,

463
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 5: it would seem insane.

464
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 4: But coming from an outside observer, it's all good.

465
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 6: I know.

466
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 5: Tass was looking at the true shooting percentage. He saw

467
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 5: that Demarta Rozan's true shooting percentage is higher than both

468
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 5: Trey Young and Pascal Siaka, and he said, put him in, baby.

469
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: It ain't his fault. He's been money in the fourth quarter.

470
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 5: There is a case fro him here. But for me,

471
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 5: it's a choice of is it better to have the

472
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 5: best players UH in the game, even if that means

473
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: you're doubling up on some teams, or is it better

474
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: to honor more teams. I don't know, because to me,

475
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 5: it broke down the categories into a couple of different categories.

476
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 4: Good guys on good teams.

477
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: So you're talking Jimmy Butler, James Harden, and Jalen Brunson,

478
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: and then good guys on mid no dunks teams DeRozan,

479
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 5: Trey and Siakam.

480
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't necessarily know which way to go.

481
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 5: I think I'm putting Jimmy Butler in though, because to me,

482
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 5: of these six guys that are in the mix, he

483
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 5: is clearly the best player. He's been top ten in

484
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: the league when he plays. The only case against him

485
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 5: is minutes. And I decided this year, as long as

486
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: you played thirty games. That's good enough for me. Nobody

487
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 5: plays anymore. Minutes are down for everybody. Everybody misses time.

488
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 5: So as long as you're there for most of your

489
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 5: team's games, I'm happy.

490
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: Uh when we get to the Western Conference, I mean

491
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: I have a rule that you got to play thirty

492
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: games at least. Jimmy Butler hits that, so I got

493
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: no issue there, I mean right, number, Yeah, thirty feels

494
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: like you're getting to like you gotta play sort of

495
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: sixty percent of your team's games to be considered. I'll

496
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: start again. That's just my opinion. So that's gonna like

497
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: cross off ad for me. It's gonna it would have

498
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: crossed off Zion. I'm unbelievably for me too. But anyway,

499
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy's there. Thirty four games played, twenty one six and five,

500
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: shooting fifty two percent. Man.

501
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, that's why with the games played, I usually

502
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: I penalize guys that haven't played a lot of games,

503
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: but in this rare season where nobody is playing, as

504
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: you said, right, no one's playing, I want to rule.

505
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: What did he pushed back on that? What do you

506
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: mean nobody's playing? Some guys like DeRozan until he recently

507
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: got injured, played a ton. Yeah, Randall, I don't think

508
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: has missed a game.

509
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're on my team. I want to reward

510
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 3: guys that actually play, and so Ja missed. Jimmy's missed

511
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: a third of his team's games. Yeah, he'll play sixty

512
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: at the end of the season. Baby. So that was

513
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it made it easy. You want to split

514
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: hairs amongst players. You see Jimmy down there in games played,

515
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: So I think you got a reward guys who want

516
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 3: to go out and play every single game. I don't

517
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: want to be a Richard Jefferson, but like guys, you know,

518
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: I couldn't. Jimmy probably the best player. We're talking a

519
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: playoff series. If you're picking between Randall and even DeRozan

520
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: and Sakham, yeah you're taking jim But you know, I

521
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: want to reward guys that that did play.

522
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So right now we've got Tasks going to bat

523
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: for Deroze, we got Trey going to bat for Jimmy.

524
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go to bat and play the homer

525
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: card for Siakam cause I think in comparing them with

526
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: these guys that we are here, he's right there. If

527
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: not still above them. You know, he missed some time,

528
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: no doubt. He's played thirty nine games, he's averaging twenty

529
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: five eight, six and a half. I mean these are like,

530
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: that's like, that's like your old Lebron classic line. It's clean.

531
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 7: Man.

532
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: He does a lot for this team, the Raptors, even

533
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: though they sort of stink true shirting percentage of fifty

534
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: seven percent, So yeah, a little bit under DeRozan. He's

535
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: just hurting at the Raptors are twenty two and twenty seven.

536
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's it. If like they're five hundred,

537
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: he's in. He might be in as it is. It

538
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: feels like coaches will select him, but I'll have him

539
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: on my team here. Okay, that final slot task, where

540
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: do you go?

541
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: It was between Pascal Siakam and Trey Young.

542
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: For me, this Trey Young love is I'm I'm I'm

543
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: perplexed that you'd have a lot.

544
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: Of guys five hundred.

545
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I've watched a lot of Hawks games

546
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: and there's many times where Dejonte Murray looks more deserving

547
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: as the All Star starting spot or reserve spot than

548
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: Trey Young.

549
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: Well that might I think you got a little a

550
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 3: little biased there, because that guy, Trey Young is way

551
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: more involved in the place he's He's way more of

552
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: a playmaker, his usage is way higher. That being said,

553
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm taking Pascal Siakam over Tree Young. Yeah, I think

554
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 3: the Hawks we're talking about, you know, all these teams here,

555
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: the Hawks are above five hundred. When it comes down

556
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: to it, they're going to be the only team if

557
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: Trey Young doesn't make it to be five hundred and

558
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 3: not have an All Star. But Pascal Siakam in comparison

559
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: to Trey Young nine billion times more efficient. Does anybody care?

560
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I think I think it should matter to

561
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: some degree. I hate I don't want to get too

562
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: deep into the numbers, but true shooting percentage is a real,

563
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: real good number. It combines every single shot that a

564
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: player takes. Every time the ball leaves an NBA player's fingertips,

565
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: that number goes into true shooting percentage, whether it's a

566
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: three point shot, a two point shot, a free throw.

567
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: So I think that's a pretty good indicator if a

568
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 3: guy's a good player, and Trey Young is way below

569
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: league average even though he puts up those numbers. So Trey,

570
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: so why are you.

571
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 5: Siakam is at fifty seven point zero true shooting percentage.

572
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 5: Trey Young is a fifty six point six.

573
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: Not good enough. I got, we got one guy who

574
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: is better, and he is a billion times better defender,

575
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: and I think that that should play a part. Pascal

576
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 3: Siakam plays on that end and Trey does it. And

577
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 3: that's why amongst the players, Trey was voted so low.

578
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 3: I think that's a part of it, everything going on

579
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: on his team. And yeah, so I can understand leaving

580
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: him off, but there's a yeah, I got, I got

581
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: a little biased for Siakam, and I think splitting hairs

582
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: defense matters in this instance for me.

583
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: Okay So tasks his last two de rozan in Siakam

584
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: So going with the no dunks picks despite the records

585
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: there from the Bulls and the Wraps. Trey, you had Jimmy,

586
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: that's your guy, that's your dog. Who's your seventh joining

587
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy is James controversial.

588
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: Thirty one games played for James Harden, I don't care.

589
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: Twenty one and a half points per game, eleven assists

590
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 5: per game. He will be leading the league and assists

591
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 5: by the time the All Star Game comes around and

592
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 5: he's qualified. The Sixers are balling right now. They can

593
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 5: easily be the first seed in the Eastern Conference. And

594
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 5: to me, the cases that you're gonna make over James

595
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 5: Harden are like for Jalen Brunson, and the one case

596
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 5: for him is that he plays more, so that's not

597
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 5: a case of a concern for me this season, or

598
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 5: you're taking players from way worse teams who have bigger

599
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 5: stats because they're the unquestioned number one guy. But I'm

600
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 5: ultimately going with Harden. I think his season has been

601
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 5: a little bit undervalued here because of the slow start,

602
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 5: he went out for injury for a time, and because

603
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: he's the number two guy within alongside Embiid. But Embeid

604
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 5: is getting such easy shots, and a big part of

605
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 5: the reason that he's getting such easy shots is cause

606
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 5: Harden them up with these tasty dishes.

607
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

608
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 5: That's the guy I feel least confident about making my pick.

609
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 4: But give me James Harden.

610
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: This guy's taking two Jimmy's Jimmy Crazy, Jimmy Harden and

611
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler. I'll go Jalen Brunson as my last pick.

612
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: I almost feel like I have to because I've been

613
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: talking him up all season long. But he's deserving. I mean,

614
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: it is. It is sort of wild. I did the old,

615
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, basketball reference Statthead thing where you can compare

616
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: players and the seasons they're having. Throw in a Jalen Brunson,

617
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: a Darius Garland and a Drew Holliday, like just those three.

618
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: Holy crap. Their numbers are very very similar. But Brunson

619
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: gets the edge for me because I feel the importance

620
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: he's had on that next team and like turning them around.

621
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: But twenty two six, three and a half shooting splits

622
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: a forty seven eighty four if you're rounding up a tiny,

623
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: tiny bit, and he ranks third in the league in

624
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: overall clutch points, DeRozan being one of them deer in

625
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Fox Out West, and then Jalen Brunson right there, and

626
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: they've actually, the Nicks have a really good record in

627
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: clutch situations, close games five points or less than the

628
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: final five minutes. So I'll give the love to two

629
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Knicks players, which is shocking. It's I mean, that's the

630
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: weird part. I guess, like the Knicks get too, but

631
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: the Bucks or the Sixers, don't you know, on my ballot.

632
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: That's that's a little odd, but that's the way it's

633
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna go. Okay, Wow, we do not have a lot

634
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: of agreements there at the end, we're I guess Tass

635
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: and I both have. Sam was the one sort of

636
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: overlap and yeah, TK not even taken to Rosen, all right.

637
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: I think also the factory is he's a number one guy.

638
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: You know, that's a little bit of a bonus over

639
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: a guy like Harden. The defense also huge factor. He

640
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: plays a lot. So yeah, I'm fine homering for sure.

641
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that.

642
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, Again, you can make legit cases for a

643
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: lot of these guys. And like I said, I even

644
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: feel like I'm not given Garland and Drew Holliday and

645
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: enough love here or even a Jimmy or a DeRozan.

646
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: It's tough. What about the old Hey what about this guy?

647
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: List any other names, Trey that you want to just

648
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: just chuck out to the podcast listeners.

649
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 5: I got no other names. All of my names came up.

650
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 5: I didn't think that there was this deep, deep pool

651
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: like Brook Lopez was an early candidate. I don't really

652
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 5: think so anymore. Drew Holliday I guess he's a candidate.

653
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 5: He's over twenty points per game, but not really for me.

654
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 5: I honestly think it's crazy that you guys both have

655
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 5: on this team. Really, the Raptors are unwatchable. Good at

656
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,239
Speaker 5: him a little bit, A little bit. It is if

657
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: your best offensive player is Siakam, look at what your

658
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: offense is.

659
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this coaches are first off going

660
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: to select Siakam, So then you're gonna be just as

661
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: upset with them as us as picking them, because I

662
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: think they see him as a better player than a

663
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: lot of these guys at this point of his career.

664
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: We shall say maybe not maybe not any other Hey

665
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: what about this guy's task?

666
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: Well, the players threw a hey what about this guy?

667
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: They had Powell of bank Carro above Julius Randall just

668
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: just throw just threw ban Caro's name in there, a

669
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: bunch over Julius Randall. Now, they may have decided a

670
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: month ago who they were going to pick, and they said,

671
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: Pala ban Carroll, that guy's rookie of the year. Put

672
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: him in there. That's probably the case, but that was

673
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: shocking to me. But I basically I needed to say

674
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 3: bank Caro because we've said every other guy's name, although

675
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: the fans wanted Kuzma in there, but he's he's Fringy

676
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: and Brooke. Yeah, he would have been there. I think

677
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: if this was the first month this season, they're kicking

678
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: ass like they were, and he was up and they

679
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 3: were up there as a as a one seed. But yeah,

680
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: not anymore.

681
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday is more deserving as a second book, I

682
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: think than Brook Lopez in my opinion, if we get

683
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: to that point, Nick Claxton is the only other name

684
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: I could could even say, Hey, what about this guy

685
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: not making it? You already got two nets. But he's

686
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: played well, especially as a late he's putting up some

687
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: monster numbers. There a lot of them coming in losses

688
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: with no Katie. But he's played well at the center position.

689
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break. When we come back,

690
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: we'll do the exact same thing, but in the Western Conference.

691
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: Back in sixty seconds. Oh go anywhere.

692
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

699
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Okay, we've debated. The

700
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: East got a little spicy. I love it. Let's get

701
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: to the West here again. A reminder, you're all star

702
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: starters announced on Thursday night. It's Curry and Luka Dancic

703
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: in the backcourt, and it's Lebron James the Joker and

704
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson. Okay, are locks? Feel like there might be

705
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: more here in the West than there were even in

706
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: the East.

707
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: Yards.

708
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to throw three at you guys right away.

709
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Joah Morant, Shay Gildas, Alexander and Damian Lillard. Does everybody

710
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: agree that? I know the first two you agree with,

711
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: but you agree Damian Lillard task is a lock as well?

712
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 3: For sure? Absolutely. Yeah. He got hot obviously at the

713
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: right time here dropping sixty point games. To me, he's

714
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 3: a little like Damar in the Eastern Conference. Been there,

715
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 3: done that, deserves it.

716
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: Get him in Andrey thumbs up one hundred percent, thumbs up.

717
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 5: Thirty points per game, seven and a half assists, and

718
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: he is the guy for the Trailblazers and yeah, the

719
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 5: timing of it has been nice. But even if you

720
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 5: throw out the last month Lillard was in the mix.

721
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 4: He just pushed himself over the edge recently.

722
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: Okay, how about the front court then locks, we'll start

723
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: with one at a time. Sabonis for the Sacramento Kings.

724
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: I know that some people thought he may have been

725
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: should have been starting obviously in the for the West,

726
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: everybody has him a lock.

727
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 3: Have him on your roster, task, yep, for sure.

728
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: Okay, just a monster tray. As you get a little replenished,

729
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: there a little water in you, Simonis, you're hit your

730
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: lighting the beam.

731
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 4: For him, lighting the beam for the boner.

732
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: There you go. Okay, we don't even need to go

733
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: on anymore. Guys, been unreal. And then how about Lowry Marketing.

734
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: That's a lock. I saw I saw Zilla write twenty

735
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: five and nine on Duranchian efficiency for Lowry market In.

736
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: Sort of a good way to put it. Okay, Task

737
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: is on board with market In. What about you, Trey.

738
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 5: Oh lockey him and In As far as I'm concerned, yeah,

739
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 5: market In has done an incredible job of keeping up

740
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 5: his scoring pace and his efficiency throughout the season. He's

741
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 5: a leader in dunks and a leader in three pointers.

742
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 5: Pretty cool, and you know, I mean, I don't really

743
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 5: feel like the home team has to have an All Star,

744
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 5: but it's nice when they do.

745
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: Sure, Okay, so we got five locks right there, John Morant, Sga,

746
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: Dame Sabonis and marken In only two spots left. I

747
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: would like to propose this. I teased it in the

748
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: last block there when we were talking about the East.

749
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm ruling out and I am not selecting guys that

750
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: haven't played thirty games. That is, you know, we're talking

751
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: about a sixty percent games played. Mark Zion got in

752
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: as a starter, so that's fine, but for me, it

753
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 1: removes Devin Booker just who came up just short. I

754
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: think he's played twenty nine games. He's obviously not back yet.

755
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Twenty nine to fifty that's fifty eight percent. Anthony Davis

756
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: at twenty six games played and Kawhi Leonard at twenty

757
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: five games played. Look, those are incredible players, but I

758
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: got to have a games played line somewhere here. You

759
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: can't play like, you know, five games and be an

760
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: All Star in my opinion, and I'm making the thirty tasks.

761
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: You want to push back against that, or you have

762
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: any of those three names on the team.

763
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: No, I'm fine with that, and I think everybody around

764
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: the NBA, you know, aside from fans, see it that

765
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: way too. Like the players rank, Anthony Davis has the

766
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 3: seventh best forward, and the games played comes into account,

767
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 3: you know, below guys like some Bonus and Paul George

768
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 3: market was the fourth best forward by a mile. But

769
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 3: with the players, I think they do understand that those

770
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: are durant like efficiency numbers, those Duranci numbers, those are real.

771
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: So Marketing deserves it obviously. Yeah, I'm fine dropping Anthony Davis.

772
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 4: That.

773
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 3: The Devin Booker thing, yeah, it's cutthroat, but he has

774
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: missed a lot of time and the Kawhi Leonard. Come on,

775
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: he's playing playing in fifty percent of the games. You can't.

776
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: I mean, there's got to be some sort of consistency.

777
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 3: So he's okay with missing.

778
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 4: It a little. Booker twenty nine games, thirty games, what's that?

779
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: I think a part of it is him being out

780
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: right now for Trunk. That's unfortunately a part of it. Look,

781
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: I love Devin Booker more than most people, but even

782
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: I gotta be like, ah, this is just gonna be

783
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: my rule man. You're on the outside looking in here.

784
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: That's a tough one. It's a tough one.

785
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

786
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 5: It's like, I'm glad you're not a cop man, because

787
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 5: if I want one mile an hour over the speed limit,

788
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty five dollars ticket. But honestly, I

789
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 5: feel like, how bad the Sons have been without Devin

790
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 5: Booker is kind of a case for Devin Booker. I mean,

791
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 5: he had his own case through his twenty nine games.

792
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 5: He was playing at an MVP level at least knocking

793
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 5: on the door of the conversation. Once he went out,

794
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 5: the sun's got terrible. But like you're saying, he's not

795
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 5: back yet, and we don't know when he's back, which

796
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 5: is which it makes it tough to put him on

797
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 5: the team.

798
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, so just yeah, for the sake dev dare

799
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: I say simplicity here, we're gonna scratch Booker a D

800
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: and Kawat. Maybe you disagree with us, let us know

801
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: in the stream. Team tweet out us at no dunk,

802
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: saying okay, but just like the East, if we're following

803
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: the rules, three front core players, two guards, two wild cards,

804
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: we still need a third big man on our West

805
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: reserves because we only have Sabonis and Lowry Marketen locked in.

806
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: I think this is a fascinating one task to debate of,

807
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: like where you go for that third forward on your

808
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: West team? Who are you going to bat for?

809
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's a very difficult one to me.

810
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: It came down to Jared Jackson Junior and Aaron Gordon.

811
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 3: But I have Jared Jackson Jr. I think he's been

812
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 3: obviously the blocks per game. He's going to lead it

813
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: at the end of the day. He has missed a

814
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: decent amount of time, but I think offensively he's taken

815
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 3: another step and defensively he's He's one of the better

816
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 3: players in the NBA period, So I think it's difficult

817
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 3: to keep him off the team if you're okay with

818
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: the games played. So I go Jared Jackson Junior. He's

819
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 3: just he's better defensively than Aaron Gordon. I think he's

820
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: better offensively. Aaron Gordon is doing his part obviously with

821
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: the Nuggets, But yeah, JJJ is my guy.

822
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: You didn't say Paul George not inconsider it from there?

823
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: With those other forwards.

824
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: He named, he is he is in consideration.

825
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: But nobody wants to pick Paul George.

826
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: He's been fine, he's been fine. It's just that it's

827
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 3: such an up and down. It's an up and down

828
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: season with them, and yet nobody wants to pick Paul George.

829
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 3: You watch him and he's a difference maker.

830
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 4: But yeah, it.

831
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 5: Sucks to pull up Paul George's numbers and be like, damn,

832
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 5: this guy's an all star.

833
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: I know balling, and he's played a lot of games comparatively.

834
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 5: Sharon Jackson junior, that's the guy for me as well,

835
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 5: the most impactful defender per minute in the league. He

836
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 5: does enough offensively, and you got to get the front

837
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 5: court requirement. So I got triple j in as well.

838
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 5: Also because it feels like he's picking up Steve as

839
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 5: the season goes along. Started late and then has been

840
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 5: on the court, and the Grizzlies have been solid while

841
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 5: he's playing. I see a lot of people saying we

842
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 5: need to get rid of comp We need to get

843
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 5: rid of positions, you know, front court, back cour and

844
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 5: how it's messing things up, especially when you look at

845
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference front court.

846
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 4: What we need to do is get rid of conferences.

847
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 5: Because there's enough front court all stars and enough back

848
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 5: court all stars between the conferences. They don't play a

849
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 5: conference game anymore.

850
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: What's the point?

851
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right right. You're saying there's a definitely more

852
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: deserving it feels like forwards in the East. Yeah, front

853
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: court players in the East, and then there's more probably

854
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: deserving West court West backcourt players. Yeah, that's a good point. Wow,

855
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: this one's tough. Ju and Jackson Junior. I didn't see

856
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: both of you guys making a case for him. It's

857
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: a little it's a little brook Lopez like, is it not?

858
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean similar in the sense that they're defensive anchors

859
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: and their rocks and like he might win it. But offensively,

860
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: what they do, it's you know, they can stretch the floor.

861
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: They're not filling up the box score and going for

862
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty five and thirties, and they're like supporting players to

863
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 1: their other stars. That's where I'm like, not as convinced.

864
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I gotta put Paul Georgian. I

865
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: know no one wants them there, but you're right, Tray,

866
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: I did exactly that. But I was like, damn, he's

867
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: played more games. I thought, damn, he's had a better

868
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: season that I thought. He obviously obviously a multiple time

869
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: All Star. His team is fine a A in a

870
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: West that's just you know, a log jam. I gotta

871
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: go PG. No one's gonna like it, but that's my

872
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: that's my my. I guess my third forward there along

873
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: with Sabonis and Lowry Markinen, so at least one spot

874
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: tasks do you go guard? Do you go another forward?

875
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

876
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: Where are you leaning?

877
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 3: What a difficult pick this was. I had to debate

878
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 3: many many times with myself because Devin Booker is the

879
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 3: best player available, there's no doubt. But he is at

880
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: the twenty nine game mark. Oh boy. I hopefully he

881
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: comes back and he is an injury replacement if he

882
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 3: doesn't get in Initially, so to me, it came down

883
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 3: to the Fox, Darren Fox and Anthony Edwards. Now, I

884
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 3: kind of wanted to reward Anthony Edwards for playing in

885
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 3: every single basketball game fifty games, and he's been he's

886
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 3: been solid, but Fox has been even a little bit

887
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: more solid, And I want to reward the winning that's

888
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: happening at the top of the Western Conference. And yeah,

889
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 3: the Kings are at the topish of the Western conference,

890
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: while the Wolves have been on a roller coaster. So

891
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 3: dear Fox, my last guy, two guys from the Sacramento Kings,

892
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 3: who would have thought, get.

893
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Tasco's Fox, what do you try it for your

894
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: final wild card deck?

895
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 5: There, I'm honestly still undecided. And then I agree with

896
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 5: Tess this is this is a nature battle here, Fox

897
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 5: versus Ants. You got the clutch scoring from Fox. He's

898
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 5: a co number one at the very least alongside Sabonas

899
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 5: and Mean. He's just having an incredible season. Anthony Edwards though,

900
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 5: has been the highest riser to me, Like when we're

901
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 5: going in and breaking down the case, You're like, wow,

902
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 5: he's really put together a solid season. He's doing it

903
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 5: at the right time. The Timberwolves are now back at

904
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 5: five hundred. He's been carrying him through injuries. He's basically

905
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 5: twenty five five and five since Karl Anthony Towns went down.

906
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 5: The team didn't know what to do when Kat went

907
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 5: down in December, so they really struggled. But then Kyle

908
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 5: Anderson stepped into the starting lineup and now the Timberwolves

909
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 5: are nine and four in January, largely with Edwards putting

910
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 5: the team on his back. I don't know, though, I'm

911
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 5: gonna wait for your pitches here and then I'll decide

912
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 5: between Fox and Edwards.

913
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to bat for Darren Fox. I don't

914
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: think that's gonna shock a lot of people. I feel

915
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: like it's similar to like years prior where Devin Booker

916
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: had really good numbers and people that watched the games

917
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: were like, this guy is an all star talent, but

918
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: everybody was like, yeah, but your team sucks. Win some games.

919
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: And then finally Booker's son started to win some games

920
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, yeah, he is an All Star. Well,

921
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: I think that's sort of going on with Fox here too.

922
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, there's been years where he's had great numbers,

923
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: but anybody's like, yeah, but the King suck, like win

924
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: some games. Well, they're third in the freaking West, and yeah,

925
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: so Bonus is a huge part of it, so is he.

926
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: So I go with Fox's my final pick, averaging twenty

927
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: four six and four fifty nine percent true shooting percentage,

928
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: and he's one of the best clutch players in the league.

929
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: As we said when we were talking to Rosan, him

930
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: and Brunts, and I've compared the the Knicks to the

931
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: Kings as a sort of comparable teams in both conferences,

932
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: so they both get to two All Star selections, two

933
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: picks as my reserves, Fox and Simonis in the West

934
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: and Randall and Brunson in the East. I go Fox

935
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: over aunt Ant is making it very difficult with how

936
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: he's played recently though.

937
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh man, that's a that's a tough call. I

938
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 5: think last two months it's Edwards over Fox for me.

939
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 5: But entirety of season, I'm in. I'm in on the

940
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 5: on the Purple Boys. Gimme Diaron Fox is my last

941
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 5: Western Conference reserve.

942
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: Okay, So I guess, like you know, if we're a

943
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: straight up democracy here, Jared Jackson junior, you guys both selected,

944
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: So he's one of those spots, and then all three

945
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: of us in the end taking Daron Fox as that

946
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: final spot to go along with John Morant, Shake Gildas, Alexander,

947
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, Sabonis at Lowry Markinen good sounding team. I

948
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: feel bad for Aaron Gordon. You know, he might make

949
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: it like being if the Nuggets have that number one

950
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: record and the coaches are like, no, they're deserving him

951
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: a second. And he's been very, very good I mean,

952
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: his numbers are not gonna like blow you away, but

953
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: he's shooting fifty seven percent from the field. I mean

954
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: that you can do that if you know, you know,

955
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: play alongside Yokic, you're gonna get some good shots. But

956
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: he's averaging seventeen seven and three. Is is that enough

957
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: in a season where just stats are inflated like crazy?

958
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: It's tough. And he's a good defensive player too, Like

959
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: you can make that case. I feel bad leaving him

960
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,439
Speaker 1: off any other what about this guy's task?

961
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerome pointing out here quietly in the private chat

962
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: that if Aaron Gordon is an All Star, he's going

963
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 3: in the dunk contest. That's what he told us.

964
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't buy that for a second. No, he's I

965
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: don't buy that.

966
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 3: You're calling him a liar, not Jerome, Aaron Gordon, No.

967
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: Not Jerome, I'm calling I don't buy this, Like, hey,

968
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,360
Speaker 1: let's get Aaron Gordon as an All Star reserve and

969
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: he'll go against in the dunk conness. I don't think

970
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: he will. Why because he's like been embarrassed three times

971
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: in the dunk contest where he's like should have won

972
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: it twice. He's like he literally do you remember what

973
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: he said after the last time he like got hosed.

974
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: He was like, screw this.

975
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 3: He made a song about it.

976
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 4: He loved it.

977
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: He was robbed.

978
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: The man was rob I know, I know.

979
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 2: I think it's worth it alone, just to call his bluff,

980
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: call his bluff.

981
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

982
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: Okay, well look hey, yeah, I mean look, I could

983
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: gladly remove Paul George to put Aaron Gordon on my

984
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: team to then have a maybe in the dunk Hut.

985
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 2: It's all a long play to give Paul George hope

986
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: and then be like, you know what, Aaron Gordon, I'm sorry.

987
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 3: Right, And the NBA is leaving a spot open in

988
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 3: the dunk contest, which is kind of our three's agree

989
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 3: of the four have been announced, except we expected Obi

990
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 3: Topping to come back and defend his title.

991
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: But that's why I had heard. I had heard that

992
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to. But maybe the league's like, hold on,

993
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon might go in this again.

994
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 5: Probably like let's wait on top, and he's gonna say yes,

995
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 5: don't worry about.

996
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: It, yes on the Facebook, infight. Aaron Gordon's a maybe's there, right, right,

997
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 2: right right? Yeah, So we're just waiting to see at

998
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: that point. That's actually why in your Aunt versus Fox,

999
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: I would only want Ant just for the dunks that

1000
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 2: would show up in the game itself.

1001
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 3: Oh okay for sure.

1002
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Fox can throw down to not Anthony

1003
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: Edwards style. I'll give you.

1004
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: As someone who has loved Utah Watson Nabie on the Raptors,

1005
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 2: I am very aware that Anthony Edwards is very good

1006
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 2: at dunky.

1007
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: Yes, the only other Hey, what about this guy I

1008
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: have on my list? I mean, you guys have Jeron

1009
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: Jackson Junior in the team. I had him on night

1010
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: list there.

1011
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: Ce J McCollum.

1012
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: That's a fair What about this guy how he's playing

1013
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of Pelicans. Yeah, I think he deserves at

1014
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: least a little head nod. And if you want go

1015
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 1: nuts on a Jeremy Grant. There he's been said. I

1016
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: don't think anyone's going to be making a very strong case.

1017
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 5: The people wanted to hear his name though. They needed

1018
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 5: to hear Jeremy Grant, good.

1019
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: Good, good good?

1020
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: Anyone else? Any other final thoughts tests on our all

1021
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: star selections.

1022
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: Here, Well, now, I think we did pretty well. I

1023
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 3: do like the Anthony Edwards is brings the excitement to

1024
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: the to the All Star game vibe because you know

1025
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 3: he'll do some funny stuff. I had him initially partly

1026
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 3: for that reason. I just want to see him out there.

1027
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 3: I think I think he'll be great out there. And

1028
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 3: you know a couple of these guys will get added

1029
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 3: as injury replacements. But you know, just the players and

1030
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 3: how they looked at things was interesting to me. As

1031
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 3: I said Anthony Davis the seventh best forward, you know,

1032
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 3: below Market and s the bonus Paul George and Zion

1033
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 3: like well below Zion only twenty nine games for Zion,

1034
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 3: but the players had him third. That's how much they

1035
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 3: respect that, dude. E.

1036
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe how much merit you put into these

1037
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: player All Star votes. I can't. I'm shocked by it.

1038
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 3: They don't play the game. They play the game skeets where.

1039
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: They don't care though in seeing how they vote, they

1040
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: don't give a shit. They vote for their friends. They

1041
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: vote for their Their team.

1042
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 3: Is Lowry Market and their friend Lowery Marketing is the

1043
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 3: fourth best forward buy a million by a million votes.

1044
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: They voted for four forwards and Lowry Marketing was the

1045
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 3: fourth one, and they didn't care about I mean they.

1046
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: They didn't vote for four forwards. They voted for more,

1047
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: much many more forwards, is my point. That's what my

1048
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: issue with it, at least the at least with the

1049
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: fan vote and really the media vote. It's like we're

1050
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: talking starters here, not reserves. There's like two or three spots.

1051
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have fifteen guys in consideration, and that's what

1052
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: the players do. That makes no sense. It should be

1053
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: like three to six guys or whatever it is.

1054
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I mean they got it. They're going to

1055
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: vote for you guys that uh you know that that

1056
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 3: are their friends some degree. But you got guys like

1057
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 3: Draybond Green in a way, way way down, Andrew Wiggins.

1058
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: What happened BTS, You didn't do ship this year? They're

1059
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 3: nineteenth Andrew Wiggins was the nineteenth ranked forward. But yeah,

1060
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 3: they really they like there was a huge drop off

1061
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 3: after four forwards Lebron, Jokic, Zion and then marketing. I

1062
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:24,720
Speaker 3: mean the players of media obviously like Sibonis, but the fans,

1063
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 3: you know, they came through at the end for the bonus.

1064
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was surprised to see how much respect

1065
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 3: Lowry Marketen had from his colleagues to be you know,

1066
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 3: way up that they all said, you know, basically unanimously,

1067
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 3: that he is the fourth best forward in the NBA.

1068
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: We think deserving them making the team. Do you think

1069
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: we should change how we do the votes? That all tray?

1070
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: Is this working the fifty percent fan vote and then

1071
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: sort of the checks and balances from the players and

1072
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: media to to make sure there isn't a you know,

1073
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: a potential Petulia you know, start the game, Like, what

1074
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: was it work?

1075
00:52:58,200 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 7: Man?

1076
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 5: Can you imagine that its Patulis starting an All Star game?

1077
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 5: What an embarrassment that'd be. I guess it's working fine.

1078
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1079
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 5: It's a little bit better than just a straight up

1080
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 5: fan vote, so you don't have the weird scenarios, but

1081
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 5: then sometimes you still have weird scenarios.

1082
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1083
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 5: The biggest change to me is dropping conferences, because there's

1084
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 5: no reason at this point.

1085
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you could drop get rid of positions, drop conferences.

1086
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, why don't we just pick the best players?

1087
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: I got no issue with that for an exhibition game. Yeah,

1088
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: because it means nothing really are any bonuses cacked into

1089
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: All Star selections. It's more usually all NBA. There might be.

1090
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 4: There's probably like contract incentives.

1091
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what do you got, dru.

1092
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 2: Just like a thought because task mentioned BTS Army. I

1093
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 2: think for this is just because we're fresh out of

1094
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 2: voting for the next year. This is for every team,

1095
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 2: every specific player. You have to make a campaign for

1096
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: the BTS Army pick. I think everyone should make so

1097
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: they could just lock themselves in and rig the voting

1098
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 2: at that point. I think that's the move. I think

1099
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 2: it's harder now because Twitter is out of the picture. Like,

1100
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 2: I think that's why we don't have that opportunity.

1101
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, I gotta do it through the app.

1102
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

1103
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: You gotta do it through the app. But I just think, like,

1104
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 2: find the largest possible population you can that would vote

1105
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 2: for you, Like it's kind of wild. Raptors don't get

1106
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 2: it because they have a whole country behind them, But like,

1107
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 2: do that lean in as hard as possible. I think

1108
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: if you have an NBA player that's willing to do

1109
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 2: a full K pop choreography for votes, they're going to

1110
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 2: the All Star Game.

1111
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 5: Wow, that's probably true. That's if you put together a

1112
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 5: choreographed dance routine. You should at least get to go

1113
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 5: to the All Star game because you care about entertainment exactly.

1114
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 2: Exactly, you can miss the game and halftime show at

1115
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 2: that point.

1116
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: I missed the uh, you know, the blog boy days

1117
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 1: of some of the players like doing like funny little

1118
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: campaigns to try and get All Star love, like Chris Bosh,

1119
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: Chris like that used to that used to be a

1120
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: thing for like three years where it was like right

1121
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: around this time, you know, they got their teams and

1122
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,240
Speaker 1: are trying to get creative and doing their little videos

1123
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: and they're the team's helped them out with like packages

1124
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: they send out.

1125
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: But I feel like that's like sort of gone at

1126
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 2: use the algorithm to get you to All Star.

1127
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: That's so, are we saying we are available to be

1128
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: bought for votes and our platform?

1129
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll by the time we get to the

1130
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 2: next All Star eighty K hundred k on YouTube, I

1131
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 2: think it's und k at least, right, So if that's

1132
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 2: the case, we're gonna be up there. We're going to

1133
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: give up one hundred thousand votes to Edube.

1134
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 4: I love it.

1135
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 2: Time's three multiplier days too, So like you're you're walking

1136
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 2: into All Star.

1137
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, like someone like Kyle Kuzma's gotta be contacting us.

1138
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 2: Kyle, get your best Balloklava, you are.

1139
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 5: That's got to be one of our pitches too. We

1140
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 5: only put the votes in on triple days, so.

1141
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 4: You don't count a lot.

1142
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna get.

1143
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 4: In the top ten at least.

1144
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, Well those are our all star picks.

1145
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: I think we did a pretty good job of making

1146
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: that clear enough for you to follow along how we

1147
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: did it, you know, with the starters obviously, and then

1148
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: are locked picks and then debating the last couple of spots.

1149
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: Let's here, who's on your team though? Before we take

1150
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: our last break, just quickly pick them results Dallas Phoenix.

1151
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: I had Phoenix, task, you had Phoenix. They got back in.

1152
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: This game got very very close, but in the end

1153
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: Dallas covers straight up wins with no Luca. I don't

1154
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: know if anyone wants to comment on that task where

1155
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 1: Luca goes out very early with the sprained ankle. I

1156
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 1: guess by all accounts it's not too too serious, you know,

1157
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: negative X rays and all that. They don't seem to

1158
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: be overreacting. But any thoughts on that game or any

1159
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 1: of the other games last night.

1160
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 3: Danwiddie obviously stepped up when Luca went out. He said,

1161
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 3: I got this dropping thirty six. That was a big part.

1162
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 3: I thought. The other big part was, you know, the

1163
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 3: Maps were pretty aggressive defensively without without Booker out there,

1164
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 3: they just you know, just kind of scrambled against Chris

1165
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 3: Paul and did a good job. And then DeAndre Ayton

1166
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 3: with the ball didn't take advantage. He was just you know,

1167
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 3: missing a lot of mid range shots. He was six

1168
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 3: for twenty and that was really a difference for me.

1169
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 3: If he know, he bangs home a couple of shots,

1170
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 3: the game is a lot different. But they played really, really,

1171
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 3: really really hard defensively on the ball handler, and they

1172
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 3: you know, begged DeAndre in to shoot. He did and

1173
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 3: he couldn't come through. So a really big win for them.

1174
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: So Spencer Dinwidie will be Luca's replacement as the West

1175
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: starter if you can't go. Is that fair? I mean

1176
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: it's proven that he could step up and do a

1177
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,439
Speaker 1: pretty good Luca impersonation. Try any thoughts on your big

1178
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: win there to improve to twelve and six in our

1179
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: pick up.

1180
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought that was a nice win for the

1181
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 5: Mavericks to be able to respond to Luca's injury and

1182
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 5: get a win against the team that's been playing a

1183
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 5: lot better recently. You know, Din when he had what

1184
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 5: thirty six of ninety nine for the Mavericks. That's pretty

1185
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 5: impressive in a really low scoring game. And I don't know,

1186
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 5: maybe that's a win they can build on going forward,

1187
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 5: because it feels like anytime Luca misses a game and

1188
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 5: it's just everybody else out there, especially considering christrom Wood

1189
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 5: is out.

1190
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 4: We've seen that.

1191
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 5: Game go really poorly for the Mavericks a lot of

1192
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 5: times this season, but they did a good job to

1193
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 5: get that win, and I thought the Knicks did sort

1194
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 5: of the same thing the way the Celtics reared back

1195
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 5: into that game to be able to stabilize themselves in overtime.

1196
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 5: Got some help from Jalen Brown, no doubt about it,

1197
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 5: but still to be able to respond to a great

1198
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 5: team playing at home, making a huge comeback and then

1199
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 5: still have your wits about you to play in the

1200
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 5: overtime period.

1201
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 4: Great win for the Knicks.

1202
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably the best win of the season, I would think,

1203
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: going in there in Boston and pulling off in overtime

1204
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: and pretty good win there from the Mavericks with no

1205
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: Luca and hopefully nothing serious there with the ankle. So

1206
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: what's tonight's pick here task on a Friday night?

1207
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 3: Oh, it's NBA Rivals Week. Remember the Grizzlies and the

1208
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,959
Speaker 3: Wolves played last year in the postseason. It was a really,

1209
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 3: really fun series. A lot of teams don't like the Grizzlies,

1210
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 3: so it seems like the Grizzlies have a lot of

1211
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: rivals in this league, but the Wolves are. This is

1212
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 3: a legitimate one because Anthony Edwards said earlier in the

1213
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 3: season when they were struggling, Oh, we're going to play

1214
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies. That'll get us going. So this should be

1215
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 3: a good one Friday night in Minnesota. Minnesota is getting

1216
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 3: three and a half points, so they just have to

1217
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 3: lose by three or less while the Grizzlies have to

1218
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 3: win by four or more. Skeets. You like Memphis to

1219
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: win by four or more while we're taking the points.

1220
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 3: Yeah at home, there it is.

1221
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: You know, don't don't back me right now. I'm garbage,

1222
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: but I love this comment. Before we take our final break, Tass,

1223
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: you brought the Craig David.

1224
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 3: Look did he have a did he have a do rag?

1225
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know he got the best.

1226
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 7: I'm not sure, but.

1239
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 3: that it was actually five days, skeets.

1240
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: I like Sean though here in the stream team, the

1241
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: best part of Rivalry week is the friends you make

Speaker 1: along the way. Sean, good comment. Okay, let's take our

1244
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: night and some rapid fire fund. Okay, let's start wrapping

1245
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: up this drop podcast. We have tweet of the night.

1246
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night. Woww few tweets of the night

1247
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 3: coming at you.

1248
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 5: We got a late breaking one here from a stream teamer.

1249
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 5: Sam likes Eggs tweeted in this morning that his fans

1250
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 5: sign got confiscated at last night's Hornets Bulls game, and

1251
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 5: I traveled forty four hundred miles picture of Miles Plumby

1252
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 5: for Plumbly, but I guess I will settle for Mason.

1253
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 5: We've been talking a lot about signs, and that is

1254
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 5: an incredible sign. And also Mason Plumbley went nine for

1255
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 5: nine from the field last night, including a pull up

1256
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 5: lefty jumper in front of the Hornets bench that the

1257
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 5: entire arena went crazy for. I've never been saddurned in

1258
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 5: my life. I've seen Mason Plumbley hit a pull up

1259
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 5: jumper against your favorite team.

1260
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Why why is that sign? Confas scated? What's wrong with

1261
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: that sign?

1262
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 2: Like?

1263
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 5: I know you're usually the skeptical one here, Skeets, but

1264
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 5: this just might have been a print job. This might

1265
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 5: have been for the internet. That would be easy to

1266
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 5: sneak in. I see no folds. If you really want

1267
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 5: to get that sign in, fold it up, put it

1268
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 5: in your back pocket.

1269
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Sam.

1270
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Wow, he went he Sam was committed to the

1271
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: bit then, I mean I actually thought he maybe took.

1272
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 4: It a print bit.

1273
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, a nice print bit.

1274
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 5: I mean, let us know, Sam, if you're watching and

1275

1277
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 5: we'll get a tweet about it later. But saw the sign.

1278
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 5: We've been talking a lot about signs. Had to see

1279
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 5: the sign on the show. Next tweet of the night.

1280
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 5: That one came from this morning. This tweet came from

1281
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 5: two days ago, but still tweeted the night. It's from Crocs.

1285
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 5: like teeth A little bit that's a standard Croc, A

1286
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 5: little bit more teethed out, I would say, and then

1287
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 5: they are covered in NBA print logos like a pair

1288
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 5: of NBA jeans from back in the day. They also

1289
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 5: offer a platform version of the NBA Crocs NBA All

1290
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 5: Star Shoes. I feel like are less of a big

1291
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 5: deal these days. You know, it used to be a

1292
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 5: special release that they would come out, not quite as notable,

1293
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 5: but I'm happy to see Crocs doing something special in

1294
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 5: this space.

1295
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 4: These are incredible.

1296
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 2: I mean, we're all gonna have to get them for

1297
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 2: the live show. I hate to tell you right now.

1298
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 2: I mean we're gonna have like really long days moving

1299
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 2: from place to place doing content. And what's better than

1300
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 2: to be most comfortable and most obviously NBA fan than

1301
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 2: wearing these crocs?

1302
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Is there snow on the ground in.

1303
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 2: Probably a problem? Crocs in very thick socks rhymes, it

1304
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 2: makes perfect sense.

1305
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: But you like those here?

1306
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yes, I do. I like the platform ones a

1307
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 3: lot better than the teeth ones. You know, you know

1308
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 3: want holes in your shoes like the Platform ones. You know.

1309
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 2: It feels very snow friendly easily.

1310
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks durable for sure.

1311
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 2: All right? Good I did?

1312
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean I shared.

1313
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 2: I just saw.

1314
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: I randomly saw a photo of those, but I had

1315
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: no idea, like you could actually buy them or were

1316
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: they official? But there we go. I'm learning things on

1317
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: on tweet of the night that is supreme.

1318
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 3: Kid do it?

1319
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes?

1320
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 2: Then why can't cross? You know, if j R. Smith

1321
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 2: approved a full on logo covered UH gear, then why not?

1322
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1323
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 2: We need to get I think Trey the full Supreme

1324
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 2: outfit with the crocs under it, and that will be

1325
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 2: the entire fit for the live show.

1326
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: That will be a salt Lake City fit.

1327
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, the NBA just in general, you know.

1328
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like we never followed up on it.

1329
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 2: But what like the big hats that was such a

1330
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 2: big thing at the beginning of the season.

1331
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the giant hats, the novelly sized hats.

1332
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,479
Speaker 2: Is is there a logo libit? Out of how many

1333
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 2: logos and you could get.

1334
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: NBA logos, G League logos, w NBA logos.

1335
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 2: You can put the ball multiple like it's a big

1336
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 2: it should fit everything possible.

1337
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like that idea. It's got enough surface area

1338
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: to put every logo you've ever seen on that on

1339
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: a hat.

1340
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 4: It's a basketball team, throw it on.

1341
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, good idea. Okay, let's wrap up the drop

1342
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: here with some rapid fire fun task. You got the questions,

1343
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: the three of us have the answers. Let's get to it.

1344
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 3: On TNT, Shaq admitted to not knowing who ruy Ha

1345
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 3: Chamorro was, and he wasn't about to study up on

1346
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 3: him either. To quote the Big Diesel, if you ain't

1347
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 3: a top ten player, I don't know who you are.

1348
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 3: That wasn't a good ending. If you'ren't a top ten player,

1349
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 3: I don't know who you are. What's something you don't

1350
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 3: care to learn?

1351
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a fascinating shack person.

1352
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 2: It's good. I like it.

1353
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: What is something I don't care to learn about? I

1354
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: was gonna go with some obvious answers, like cooking or cars.

1355
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 2: But cars is good.

1356
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: I thought of another one I do not care to

1357
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: learn about. The proper way to say the old mariner's adage?

1358
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: Is it red sky at night sailors delight, red sky

1359
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: in morning, sailors take warning? Or is it red sky

1360
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: at night sailors take fright, red sky in morning sailors adorning?

1361
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Which one is it? I don't want to know. Don't

1362
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: ever tell me. I like to be confused about it.

1363
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: I like to see a red sky at night and

1364
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:48,120
Speaker 1: go ooh, delight for sailors or ooh, take fright for sailors.

1365
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I don't care to learn.

1366
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 5: I didn't even know there was a second version. I've

1367
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 5: only heard the former. What did you say that the

1368
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 5: second half of it was? The second one is the

1369
01:06:59,440 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 5: one I made?

1370
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? The one I made up? Red sky at night,

1371
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: sailors take fright, red sky in morning sailors adorning.

1372
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 4: Sailors are adorning. Just putting on all their sailing gear.

1373
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 4: I just I don't know.

1374
01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 1: I always wanted to like be like confused how the

1375
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: sailors are feeling when they see a red sky at

1376
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: night or in the morning, vice versa.

1377
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 3: Which is it?

1378
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 2: It just sounds like the song Blinded by the Light

1379
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: where they argue about lyrics there too.

1380
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 6: There you go.

1381
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Trey, what's something you don't care to

1382
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 3: learn about?

1383
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 4: The DC Extended Universe. It made a lot of these movies.

1384
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 5: I saw a Man of Steel because my hometown was Smallville.

1385
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 5: But I tried to watch the beginning of Wonder Woman,

1386
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 5: and the imagery was so like literally dark, as in

1387
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,439
Speaker 5: like hard to watch dark.

1388
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 4: It wasn't entertaining. They seemed to me to be dour movies.

1389
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 5: So I was kind of happy that Black Adam by

1390
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 5: the Rock failed because if he had a successful superhero movie,

1391
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 5: I probably would have dipped in. And then suddenly I'm

1392
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 5: in the DC universe. But I just thought, I'm just

1393
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 5: gonna be a Marvel guy. They've got too much content

1394
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 5: for me anyways, I can't devote myself to two complete worlds.

1395
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the good news for you is they're

1396
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: completely trashing the entire DC. They're starting a new again,

1397
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 2: so you don't need to like, you know they tanked,

1398
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 2: you know, they're they're doing a full on restart.

1399
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 5: Well I hope that this time around because I can't

1400
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 5: watch them.

1401
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 2: My favorite thing about Black Adam is like because every

1402
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 2: time I see an advert it says the age of

1403
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 2: heroes is over and it could have been like the

1404
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 2: worst like self burn of calling your oad shot like

1405
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 2: the movie that like eds it. But yeah, hopefully they're not.

1406
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 2: The new ones are not good that you have to get.

1407
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 3: Hopefully, all right, drum, what's something you don't care to

1408
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 3: learn about?

1409
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Latte art? For those who like two did too that

1410
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 2: the Christmas week where the three of us were together,

1411
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 2: I really went on to rats about the lady who

1412
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 2: took the croissants at my favorite coffee shop. Yeah, so

1413
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 2: I'm a big coffee person. I do enjoy doing it

1414
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 2: and I like drinking it. And I did get a

1415
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 2: US for a somach sheet, which I'm really pubbed about.

1416
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 2: It's got like a frouthered everything, and I'm like, so

1417
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 2: ready I see people brisses do it. It seems so easy.

1418
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 2: It's just like a little like stir and poor and

1419
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 2: go and then yeah, I tried it at home. I

1420
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 2: definitely need a YouTube video and tutorial to figure out

1421
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 2: how to do it. I do not know how to

1422
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 2: do it, and it's getting to the discouraging point where

1423
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 2: I don't care to find out.

1424
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 1: But hold on, you would just be doing it for

1425
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 1: what the Instagram like for me, just just the satisfaction.

1426
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 2: I'll send it to maybe some friends and be like,

1427
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 2: look what I do. But otherwise, I mean, the truth is,

1428
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 2: I'm so discouraged. I actually care so much about it,

1429
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 2: but I pretending I don't care.

1430
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's when you're gonna knock it out of

1431
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 3: the park, though, when you don't care.

1432
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 2: I tried one tie by accident, and it looked like

1433
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 2: Goro from Mortal Kombat.

1434
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm not on purpose, though not on purpose.

1435
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 2: I reported it and I was like, it looks like a

1436
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 2: daity that I don't know. And I shared it with

1437
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 2: friends and we're like.

1438
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 3: Goro, it sounds like you're onto something.

1439
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not.

1440
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,799
Speaker 3: All right next one. At his postgame media session Tuesday,

1441
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook received some nice compliments from a young reporter.

1442
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 3: I'll quote that report tonight. You used impressive dribbling skills

1443
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 3: to fake out your opponent multiple times. And in the

1444
01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 3: second quarter you made a jump shot where your body

1445
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 3: was turned one hundred and eighty degrees from the basket.

1446
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 3: It was just an amazing shot. You're always making these

1447
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 3: spectacular moves within a split second. Do you anticipate doing

1448
01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 3: them or is it just second nature to you? Russ,

1449
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 3: while he was listening to that, was loving it. So

1450
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 3: what's the best compliment you've ever received, Skeets.

1451
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the best, but I do

1452
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: enjoy getting the compliment when we meet fans of the

1453
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: show in person, like say maybe in Salt Lake City

1454
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 1: in three weeks, but they say, huh, you're exactly like

1455
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,759
Speaker 1: you are on the podcast or on the YouTube stream,

1456
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: like you're the exact same person. It's like, good, that's

1457
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: good because it's like not putting anything on here for

1458
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 1: the show. So I'll go with that very kind compliment

1459
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 1: that I received a couple of times from fans.

1460
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 3: All right, Tray.

1461
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,799
Speaker 5: I went back to our Wednesday pickup run this week.

1462
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,839
Speaker 5: A lot of new personnel in the gym, not familiar

1463
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 5: with my game. I made a bank shot early on

1464
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 5: and I got called Tim Duncan for the whole night.

1465
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 5: I made one bank shot, and I got called a

1466
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer all day. Considering some of the trash

1467
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 5: I've taken for the form of my jump shot, I

1468
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 5: was feeling pretty good about that one.

1469
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 3: That's nice. Yeah, it is nice. It is nice that

1470
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 3: Timmy had that shot because I heard it on a

1471
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 3: broadcast this week, as well as somebody banked at home,

1472
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 3: because otherwise we didn't have that shot. I don't think

1473
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 3: there'd be a lot of Timmy references.

1474
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 5: He's the most famous bank shot guy for sure. I

1475
01:11:58,360 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 5: don't even know who number two is.

1476
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 3: No. One, Dwayne Wade maybe, Yeah, Russ, you.

1477
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 2: Use to be that guy like back in the OKC days,

1478
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 2: his mid range and bank shot.

1479
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Jerome, what's the best compliment you've ever received?

1480
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 2: As you guys know, I well, obviously I work on

1481
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,799
Speaker 2: the content for shorts and everything here. So my favorite

1482
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 2: thing is when I make an edit on Twitter and

1483
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 2: someone quote tweets it. Please revoke Jerome Chang's Adobe subscriber account,

1484
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 2: because because it just feels like I think my favorite

1485
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 2: kind of quote heat is just like who did this?

1486
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:44,879
Speaker 2: You're wrong for this. I have friends who have tagged

1487
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 2: the US Navy Seals to come get me. But I

1488
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 2: feel like it's like, I feel like it's like the

1489
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 2: highest regard. When you upset someone so much with an

1490
01:12:56,040 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 2: edit that you work on them, they have to comment.

1491
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,879
Speaker 2: So my previous thing revoke his Adobe clad account.

1492
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 3: All right, final one here. The Balls and Pistons played

1493
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 3: a game in Paris this past week, and Detroit's Isaiah

1494
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 3: Livers journaled his experience for The Athletic. It was a

1495
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 3: real fun read from him and James Edwards. Liver's biggest

1496
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 3: highlight it was the opera. He went and saw the opera.

1497
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 3: Here's part of what he had to say. Quote, I

1498
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:26,639
Speaker 3: never heard an opera singer in person. I'm an opera fan.

1499
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,640
Speaker 3: Now there was a guy walking around and singing at

1500
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 3: the same time. It was cool. The lady that came

1501
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, the mood, the tones, she was just

1502
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 3: killing it. What's something new you plan on experiencing, like

1503
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,520
Speaker 3: Isaiah Livers skeets.

1504
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going on a boy's hiking trip in late

1505
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: March or early April. We're going to Utah. Very excited.

1506
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to do some national parks, but we're gonna

1507
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: end in Vegas because that's where we're flying in and

1508
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: oute of. So we'll be spending one night in Vegas.

1509
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: And we have decided we are finally going to experience

1510
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: all Vegas. Always talk about going up to it, you know,

1511
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: we're talking like downtown Las Vegas, not the strip, but

1512
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: we're just always staying on the strip. You never leave

1513
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 1: the strip. So we have decided we are staying in

1514
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,919
Speaker 1: Old Vegas. I was talking to Maddio about it. He's, uh,

1515
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: he's been there, spend a night there. He said it's

1516
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: skiv oh And I said that's what we want. We

1517
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: want it like that, and he said, oh, you're gonna

1518
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: love it. It's you know, some great dive bar, some

1519
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: great dive casinos. So yeah, I'm looking forward to If

1520
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 1: you have suggestions where we should go or or eat

1521
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: at or whatever, we should get up to an Old

1522
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Vegas pumped, can't wait? One night sounds perfect.

1523
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 4: I think if you dress like a cowboy you'll be happy.

1524
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 4: Oh fu, isn't like a dance the Golden Nut something

1525
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:45,839
Speaker 4: down there? Yeah?

1526
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't there also the zip line that you could do?

1527
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 2: You could?

1528
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking, yeah, the Fremont, Yes, exactly area

1529
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: I've never been. I mean, there's always been talk about

1530
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 1: it when we would be out there, and we just

1531
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,600
Speaker 1: never make our way up there, even though it's not

1532
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: even that far. But you know, it's thing, Gus, You're like,

1533
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:02,560
Speaker 1: why leave this area.

1534
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 2: Anything outside of the strip views like yeah different so far.

1535
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but so that's why we're forcing stay up there.

1536
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, all right, Trey.

1537
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 7: Uh.

1538
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 5: There was a new phone game that came out recently,

1539
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 5: NBA All World, very interesting to me. It's basically Pokemon Go,

1540
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 5: but make it the NBA. You travel to different literal

1541
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 5: basketball courts where you're supposed to be able to go

1542
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 5: like one on one against somebody else who theoretically would

1543
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 5: have this, or maybe there's a player that's tied to

1544
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 5: it GPS wise or whatever. So I was like, all right,

1545
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 5: I like Pokemon Go, I'll try this ar game, see

1546
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 5: what it's all about.

1547
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 4: I'm a basketball fan. And then I got my.

1548
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: Would Kill this game.

1549
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was exciting to

1550
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 4: me as well.

1551
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 5: And then I got my starter player that I was

1552
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 5: going to have to battle everybody.

1553
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,839
Speaker 4: With DeAndre Jordan.

1554
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

1555
01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,679
Speaker 4: I was like, well, I guess I'll never play this game.

1556
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: Don't you? But but I think you level up?

1557
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 4: Right?

1558
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 1: Is that the idea? Like you can level up with

1559
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan. Well you can get different players.

1560
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: I think you can get more.

1561
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, but I gotta beat somebody with DeAndre Jordan.

1562
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 4: It's gonna be impossible. I went through the tutorial I

1563
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 4: had CJ. McCollum. I was feeling pretty good. I was like,

1564
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,520
Speaker 4: that's a perfect.

1565
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 5: Starter player and can get some buckets, but not an

1566
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 5: all star, so you can work your way up a

1567
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,759
Speaker 5: little bit the DJ.

1568
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 4: Once I got to the real game, be allowed to.

1569
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 2: Create your own character. I don't understand why you have

1570
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 2: to start with. I thought so too.

1571
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen somebody here got Gary Trent Junior. I

1572
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 4: would be happier with the Gary Trent Junior. Just be

1573
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:41,959
Speaker 4: shooting threes.

1574
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: A'm I supposed to do?

1575
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 4: It's a one on one? G great, how do I run?

1576
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 4: How do I run a.

1577
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 5: Pick and roll allue for DeAndre Jordan when I'm only

1578
01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 5: DeAndre Jordan.

1579
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 4: He's got it.

1580
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 3: Ask you to make more sense? Uh D something new

1581
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 3: you want to experience.

1582
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 2: It's actually also in the video game space. It's very

1583
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 2: late to the party. But Animal Crossing has really been

1584
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 2: on my mind of late.

1585
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 7: Uh specifically it's actually not the game itself, but specifically

1586
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 7: this one TikTok account at not euro that has been

1587
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 7: taking Animal Crossing music and mashing it with actual songs

1588
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 7: I actually brought a clip.

1589
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 6: For and the kind of living and the kind of living.

1590
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 2: That I'm sorry so based on I mean by by

1591
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,759
Speaker 2: music listening habits. In the last two weeks, I've basically

1592
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 2: been these bash ups and just listen to this one

1593
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 2: UK pop song by a group Uge. It's called Oh

1594
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 2: by God. So I've been a very specific space right now. Wow,

1595
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 2: and but yeah, after listening to that, like the nimal

1596
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 2: crossing music is so pleasant. If I can make that

1597
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 2: a part of my entire being, I think I just

1598
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 2: have to get into the game. Also, when my good

1599
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 2: friends insists I get a switch, so this might be

1600
