00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: so nice. I don't want to wash it. I just

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: never want to wash it. Be careful what you eat

Speaker 1: end with some rapid fire fun go whoa boy and

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: pick them and all that. But first, I had some

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: news yesterday amidst a rough four and eleven start Hornet

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: star guard LaMelo Ball has grown increasingly frustrated with the

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: organization and is open to a trade. This is reporting

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: done by Yahoo Sports our guy Kelly Eco. He was

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: the first on the scene with this. Now I will

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: say LaMelo Ball retweeted that news yesterday with a clown emoji.

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, buddy, but here we are. LaMelo Ball

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: maybe open to a trade away from the Hornets, but

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: when you read the actual article, maybe it's the Hornets

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: are also open to the idea of trading LaMelo Ball.

37
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 2: I don't think one team trades for LaMelo Ball right now,

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: considering he's got three more years after this one under

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: contract between forty and forty six million. Considering he's only

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: played in fifty eight percent of possible games. I just

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: don't get what LaMelo Ball wants. He wants a winning team.

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: I guess they had a winning team once in his

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: five years in his career, and it was similar to

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: what they have now. Miles Bridges was the leading score

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: just like they have right now. Gordon Hayward was on

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: their team. The token white guy. They've got one right

47
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: now in Conk Nipple, who's really really good. Yeah, and

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: I think they're playing more fun basketball. I think they're

49
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: moving a lot more that Konk Nipple is setting a

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: lot of screens. Their guards are setting so many screens.

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Their guards are setting over seven hundred screens or have

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: set over seven hundred screens this season. The next highest

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: team is three hundred and thirty eight a couple of

54
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: days ago. That's from all NBA Passe. It's a great

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 2: stat of how much fun they're having. They're actually nine

56
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: points better per hundred persentsion possessions than last season. Offensively,

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: what Doesamelo Ball want? He just wants to shoot. I

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: don't think anybody really wants to say, hey, we want

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: that guy on our team. I just saw the Reddit

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 2: comment that said LaMelo plays basketball like he has air

61
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: pods in and I think that's kind of what it is.

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he wants to come down, fly down the

63
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: court and just shoot. I think again, his team is better.

64
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: I just don't personally get it.

65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: From the article from Kelly, it says quote league sources

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: say the front office this is Charlotte is increasingly hesitant

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: about cementing LaMelo Ball as a long term foundational piece,

68
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: and they've become disillusioned with the twenty four year old

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: end quote on that, TK, do you agree with Trey

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: that no team would really want to trade for LaMelo Ball?

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts on him maybe being frustrated

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: them being frustrated with him.

73
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 3: A team would absolutely trade for LaMelo. He's only twenty four.

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: He's a really good player still, He's just not a

75
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: winning player point in his career. He has been back

76
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: on that team with a Gordon Hayward. They just don't

77
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: have any bets really to help out. He is an

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: entertaining player as well, and he's super talented. It would

79
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: have to be a team that trusts that they can

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: keep him healthy because I think his right ankle is

81
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: pretty bad. And yeah, he seems to give him problems

82
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: time and time again. He's played thirty six twenty two

83
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: and forty seven games the last three seasons. Has been

84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: in and out of the lineup this year. But I

85
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 3: don't know. If you're the Heat and you're like, we

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: can keep him healthy, this is a by low candidate.

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: I actually think because he is on a contract thirty seven,

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 3: forty forty three, forty six through twenty twenty nine, you're

89
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: going to get him through his prime. If you're confident

90
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: you can keep him on the court, you might be

91
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: getting a good deal. Right he may need a change

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: of scenery. It would be good actually for the Hornets.

93
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: I kind of think to trade LaMelo Ball. They've got

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: so many picks coming up.

95
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: The Hornets.

96
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: Do they have their pick and the Orlando pick this year,

97
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: then they could have their pick and at least one

98
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: other pick in the twenty seven, twenty eight, and twenty

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: nine drafts. Not to mention, they got young guys that

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: are performing already in Knips and Calk. Brenner see on

101
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: James is at least a rotation level player. It seems

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: like Brandon Miller also ever healthy. They need to get

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: that guy back on the court. Maybe they need to

104
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: invest in a better training staff to get their guys

105
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 3: to be able to play. But the unreliability of LaMelo

106
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: means the trade packages coming back won't be all that interesting,

107
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't think, and they probably won't be where the

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: Hornets want them to be. But since they have so

109
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: many picks, they don't necessarily need to take stuff back

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: quite as much. They've got a pretty decent warchest of

111
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: assets going forward. So if they decide we would rather

112
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: spend the forty million dollars on a couple of veterans

113
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: who can help our team out and help our younger

114
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: young guys, I think that's fine. But right now it

115
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: just seems to be a lot of frustration because the

116
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: team might be better, they might be a little bit

117
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: more fun, but they still think.

118
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. The timing of this report is not surprising if

119
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: you watch the last game where they basically bench Mellow

120
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: down the stretch in the loss to the Indiana Pacers,

121
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: who at that point had one way, you know, not

122
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: a juggernaut of a team because they've had so many injuries.

123
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: But LaMelo was bench for like the final four to

124
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: thirty of a some what close game. He finished with

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: eighteen points, He shot brutal five to twenty one, He

126
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: had six turnovers, He only played twenty seven minutes. This

127
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: season's been very bad for him. His efficiency is in

128
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: the gutter. Was never all that good to begin with.

129
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: But I think he's shooting like sub thirty nine percent

130
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: from the floor, sub thirty percent from three. But he

131
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: is still a draw, He's still a playmaker. He has

132
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: his style, but you guys said it man the part

133
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: where he just can't stay healthy. And he's also plays

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: the league's probably most crowded position. There's a lot of

135
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: good teams with a lot of good point guards, so

136
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: there's not that many hypothetical teams I think that would

137
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: even want a trade for him because they don't maybe

138
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: need him. You don't think there are teams. Do you

139
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: have any teams that you could see making an offer

140
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: for LaMelo Ball in terms of a trade package?

141
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: Oh?

142
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: You know the Kings are involved.

143
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same ones as the job Morant talk.

144
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: It's the Kings.

145
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: Would the Heat be willing to deal with him, bring

146
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: him into the locker room? Somewhat of a question, But

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 2: are they willing to give up on Tyler Hero and

148
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: what they are right now? Yeah?

149
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: Would you rather have Tyler Herro or Lamello Ball? If

150
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: you're in the Miami.

151
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: Heat, I would try to keep it working with Tyler

152
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: hero got.

153
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: So they probably would stay with the Devil, you know.

154
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, again, the fifty eight percent

155
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: of possible games, and just overall he hasn't They haven't

156
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: been a good team in years, and they were once.

157
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: But you just think that he can keep on turn

158
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: that thing around. The minutes played of his draft class

159
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: that have played more than him are a little wild.

160
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: Guys that have played more than him in his draft class,

161
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: Patrick Williams, Isaiah Stewart, Cole Anthony Emmanuel quickly I thought

162
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: he was injured, Isaac Cacorro, Sadiq Bay like they just

163
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: he just hasn't been able to stay on the floor.

164
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Do you like ball though? Would maybe thrive in a

165
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: more structured organization, But aren't they more competent team? I

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: do think that.

167
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: I feel like they're trying to do that now. I

168
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: think that Charlesley is trying to, oh, I change the

169
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: offense so it's not just let's come and shoot it.

170
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: I guess he wants to play faster. I guess because

171
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: they played a little faster last year, but this year

172
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: they're just using other guys more like I was saying

173
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: about the pick and slips, they're they're fun. I guess

174
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: there is a chance, but I don't know. There were rumors,

175
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 2: you know, win he was drafted that he wouldn't be

176
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: able to be that and we've only seen it one year.

177
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: I bought the ankle brace's stories. He's wearing ankle braces

178
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 2: now that his ankles would be better. It ain't happened.

179
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is there an organization that just says

180
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: he's in our locker room and he's better.

181
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: What about the Blazers. They have vets that could help

182
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: guide him, teach him the game, that sort of structure.

183
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: They have a good defense that you can sort of

184
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: put around him. You know, Scoot Henderson hasn't played, could

185
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: be Scoot. That's sort of a piece that maybe you

186
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: would be enticing to the Hornets Jeremy Grant for contract reasons.

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: I think it's possibility. I think they would.

188
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: Need the or would appreciate the talent infusion. I think

189
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 3: LaMelo is definitely a better player than Scoot, and Scoot

190
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: has the same injury concerns that LaMelo does. The Bulls

191
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 3: should be interested Kobe White, Booch or throw Patrick.

192
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: Williams in there as well.

193
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: Like, if there's gonna be expiring contracts and you want

194
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 3: to throw in a first round pick, that's a good

195
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: way to boost your talent. Because I think Lamello is

196
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: more talented than a lot of guys. A lot of

197
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 3: teams do have point guards, but LaMelo is still better

198
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 3: than a lot of those guys better.

199
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but will it translate into.

200
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: It for LaMelo ball like Trey Young doesn't have an extension.

201
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think the Hawks do it just to

202
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: bring him. I know he's a talented player, but like

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: the Blazers are an interesting one. They just shot signed

204
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: Shandon Sharp to a long term deal. They brought in

205
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: the old guys to help Shadon Sharp and to help

206
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: Scoot Henderson. Now you're changing it entirely. I think they

207
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: just keep going same with the Hawks. I don't see

208
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: them doing it.

209
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: Jalen Green for LaMelo, h it's I don't know.

210
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: It's like I mean, I jokingly sort of tongue in

211
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: cheek last night, said Anthony Davis or LaMelo you could

212
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: get there? LaMelo pat Conatan for Anthony Davis. And let's

213
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: say Brandon Williams was like a guard coming back. They

214
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: need a guard obviously because there's no Kyrie, but once

215
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: he coming back, you would be then sort of going

216
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: all in on. All right, we got Cooper Flag, we

217
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: got LaMelo Ball, and then we have whoever we pick

218
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: with the twenty six draft pick, and that would be

219
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: sort of our core of our team. I guess it's

220
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: not crazy. He only makes thirty eight million dollars this season,

221
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: I say, only LaMelo Ball one hundred and thirty million

222
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: remaining over the next three years.

223
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the thing, the next three years. It's

224
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: not it's not short term, it's not as short as job.

225
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: But it's only twenty four and that's going to be

226
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of your cap. I mean, it's not

227
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: brutal because he's not going to hit like the or

228
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: didn't hit any of the boose to get up there

229
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: even higher with this percentage.

230
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, Yeah, you're just saying in terms of

231
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: what the.

232
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: He's a solarizing player. People are like, he's really good,

233
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: and other people are like, no, he's not. These are

234
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: completely empty calorie stats. He's sure, he's a walking highlight,

235
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: but it hasn't translated into a lot of wins even

236
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: when he does play, and that's half the time. So

237
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: that's why he's polarizing. MPJ, MPJ. Yeah, I saw that

238
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: one too. Yeah, I mean I'm doing that if on

239
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: the nets and a heartbeat.

240
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, the nets are a struggle and they should be

241
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: lumped into the Sacramento Kings will take on a chance.

242
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: They just made five draft picks for point guards. They

243
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: haven't hit a home run on any of them at

244
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: this point. Agor Jim can maybe be okay, but they

245
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: really they could use somebody, that's for sure.

246
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: And then of course people trying to get them home

247
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: to California Clippers, they could use some young talent. We

248
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: know that a little more difficult to maybe get there

249
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: in a sort of trade package that would work for Charlotte,

250
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: But they have a lot of not a lot. They

251
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: have two first round picks in the future twenty thirty

252
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: twenty thirty two, and they could do a first round

253
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: swamp in twenty thirty one. The Clippers could to Charlotte,

254
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: but Trey you already went through and they do already

255
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of draft picks, and maybe that's not

256
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: of importance if they do want to like get some

257
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: real players around, some of their guys that they've seem

258
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: to have hit on here in CA Nipple and Rinner

259
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: and Charles Lee is their head coach. Maybe you just

260
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: want actual more, some more vets and talent in here pieces,

261
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: I guess, so these are options. We're just spitballing LaMelo ball.

262
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: So now we got LaMelo ball, John Morant, maybe Anthony Davis.

263
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: So Mark Cuban says, shut.

264
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: Up, zion it.

265
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: I got a bit later, zion Okay, great, great, got

266
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: a bit later. All right, Well, let's move on. Let's

267
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: start talking about one month in awards. We'll do a

268
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: couple of real awards and then some sort of big

269
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: questions here after one month of basketball, start with with MVP.

270
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Who's the most valuable player one month in t utk Nikola.

271
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: Jokic is the MVP right now, let me pull up

272
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: his stass because I didn't write him down like an

273
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: absolute fool.

274
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: I said, I'll just be able to easily pull this out.

275
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: Twenty nine points per game, thirteen rebounds per game, eleven assists,

276
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: shooting sixty four from the field and forty from three.

277
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: And that's with a poor for him October when he

278
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 3: was shooting one hundred and thirty percent and then he's like,

279
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I'll just make every shot for the entire

280
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: month of November. He is clearly the best player in

281
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: the league. He plays hard for like two quarters, it

282
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: feels like, in most of these games, and that's all

283
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 3: it really takes for the Nuggets. So I think Joki

284
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: is kind of easily the MVP right now. Okay, but

285
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: the only other guy on the same tier right now

286
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: is SGA.

287
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Right with his team only having lost one game and

288
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: his stats, he's got pretty damp for sure. Yeah, yeah,

289
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: Sga is still a favorite on FanDuel for MVP plus

290
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: one thirty five, Jokiic plus one seventy five, Luca plus

291
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: four hundred. That was your preseason pick. And then Giannis

292
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: has dropped off here with his injury, and and you

293
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: got Tyrese Maxi who had a monster game last night,

294
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: and Kate Cunningham at plus eight thousand. They're sort of

295
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: on the list there. Maxi jumped up to the Kate

296
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Cunningham odds last night.

297
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: They've joined the list.

298
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: It feels like it's one of those first three guys though,

299
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: doesn't not. Oh yeah, it's Sga. It's jokichur it's Luca

300
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: winning this thing. But who would you have right now?

301
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Luca problem is that he hasn't played though,

302
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: and a lot of games as we're here one month in,

303
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 2: while Shay has played in every single one, and Jokich

304
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: has been playing a ton and he's absolutely incredible. But

305
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: I would give it to the guy who is fifteen

306
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: in one right now, because if he gets too somewhere

307
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: around that pace where he's seventy four wins or seventy

308
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: five wins, the guy's getting it. And obviously Jokic's best

309
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: numbers wise, you look at the advanced stats, if you're

310
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: a per a BPM or a vorper, then you give

311
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: it to Jokic. But this ain't a baseball podcast. I

312
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: just give it to the guy who's fifteen and one

313
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: right here, right now. They get so close to these

314
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: wins right at the end of the games, and Shay

315
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: just scores enough. He shoots more than Jokic does. You know,

316
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: three and a half more field goals a game just

317
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: to get them there. His teammates help him get there,

318
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: obviously to the end, and I know that they smash teams.

319
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: They've been able to smash them. But you know those

320
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: the moments that stick in my head are the overtime

321
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: games that they had to win because of Shay and Jokic.

322
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: Is fun if you know, I look at how tough

323
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: the schedule is and all that stuff over thirty days here,

324
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: thirty one days. You know, they're both kind of actual

325
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: softy schedules. To this point, they haven't had a lot

326
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: of tough, tough games. But Yokich wins the numbers game.

327
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: If you want to play another game.

328
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: There's no They're unbelievable. Yeah, that was after a slow

329
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: start when we were like, oh no, what's wrong, Well,

330
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: nothing was wrong. He's the favorite by far right now

331
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: in basketball references, MVP Award tracker Yokitch eighty two percent

332
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: probability to win another one of these SGA is second

333
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: there around fourteen percent, and then it goes down Luca

334
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: shenguon a couple of pistons, Tyrese Maxie who won a

335
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: game last night. Guys that in holy crap, fifty four

336
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: points career high in the overtime win against the Bucks,

337
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: hitting big shot after big shots, got some help from

338
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: some guys late, but justin.

339
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: Edwards, maybe he's getting MVP odds. He's one of the

340
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: two games this year.

341
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Grimes did hit a big three in that

342
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: game too last night. But Maxie is awesome right now. Yes,

343
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: he is so fun to watch. Yeah, so his speed

344
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: and his touch and he adds the three point shot

345
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: to then everything he can do inside. He had that

346
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: floater at the end of the first quarter over Jericho Sims,

347
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: like an NBA player going like, what am I supposed

348
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: to do about that? The degree of difficulty on that,

349
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: like blazing passed the guy up top to then not

350
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: even go backboard. He just floats it in from like

351
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: fifteen feet out Sims. You can see Sims go, come on,

352
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: how do you stop that? I'm like, I have a

353
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: foot on this guy and I couldn't do anything.

354
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, considering last year they didn't have Paul

355
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: George and Joel Embiid to start, there was a lot

356
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: of pressure on Tyrese Maxey and he wasn't able to

357
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 2: do it. To see him grow this year, to be

358
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: able to do it again without Paul George for most

359
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: of the season and half of Joel Embiid minutes or

360
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: games he's been for again, awesome. The edgecumb Help has

361
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: helped the Callihubery. Help has helped the Justin Edwards. Help

362
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: has helped. But he's grown.

363
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: He's averaging thirty three point four points per game, eight assists,

364
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: five boards, you know, flirting with two steals per game,

365
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: double MIP.

366
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: He already won one Most Improved Player and he's still

367
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: got better. Whoa, he's not even in my top five

368
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: MVP ballot and actually isn't. Who's your SGA Cage Shengoon

369
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: and Luca it's a fair five. Yeah, but then Luca,

370
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: honest would be.

371
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: But he's only played eight games. Well, how many's honest?

372
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: How many Lucas played? Eleven?

373
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: Okay, that's more than eleven and fifteen, that's not too bad.

374
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, has played thirteen games.

375
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: Oh I misread it. Okay, Yeah, he's he's played thirteen

376
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: to sixty.

377
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: You're a lot. He's he's in there. He's in there.

378
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 2: He's only shooting sixty three percent from the field. That

379
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: sucks you, Okay, so shooting sixty four percent. Those guys

380
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: are machines this season.

381
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 3: So Wemby's out of the mix now for you, of course. Yeah,

382
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 3: Wemby and Honest, they're both hurt right now.

383
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, most improved player tasks. I'll give you the odds

384
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: here on Fan Duel j Jalen Duran plus one seventy five,

385
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Josh Giddy plus four sixty, Denny Avdia plus five fifty,

386
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Rawlins plus eight hundred, hit himself a game to

387
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: last night did, and then Jalen Johnson at plus twenty

388
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: two hundred. Those are your top five mi ips on.

389
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: FD Ryan rownds. It's fun. I can't give it to

390
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: Danny Avdia because we sat here at the end of

391
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and said, a good team has got

392
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: to get this guy, and that's what he did. At

393
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: the end of the twenty three to twenty four season,

394
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: the Wizard's traded him to Portland and he's grown. I

395
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: didn't see this coming, this incredible growth into such a

396
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: lead role with the Portland Trailblazers, even after watching him

397
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: in his national games on Israel where he was the guy.

398
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: I didn't see this efficiency coming, but he knew it

399
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: was coming to some point, So I go Jalen Durn.

400
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: I think he is obviously a machine on the boards,

401
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: but the drives where he doesn't force it, I feel

402
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: like he puts it on the floor and he sees

403
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: the switches and gets a mismatch, and he's just bigger

404
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 2: than somebody. He's able to body them. Or if there's

405
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: a monster in front of him, whether it's Drummond comes

406
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: to mind, like Jock Landale comes to mind. There's these

407
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 2: huge guys, he's able to pause, take his time and

408
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: shoot over them. We didn't see it coming. I didn't

409
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: see it coming, and so I would give it to

410
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 2: Jalen Duran just what he is and what he means

411
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 2: to a really, really, really good team.

412
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, durn is the guy for me as well.

413
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: He's added nine points per game and he looks like

414
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: a go to scorer for them at some point when

415
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: he gets the ball underneath the hoop, he's going to score.

416
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: He's shooting seventy percent in November. Number two on the

417
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: list for me, though, is Austin Reeves plus eight points

418
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: per game twenty eight five and eight assists so far.

419
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: That includes some monster games early on when Luca was

420
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: down and you know, before Lebron got back. I think

421
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 3: Reeves has become a go to guy for the Lakers,

422
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: and it wouldn't be surprising to me if at the

423
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: end of the year, Reeves is outscoring Lebron because Lebron

424
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: will probably play a Swiss Army Knife type of season

425
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 3: this year, kind of doing it all, whereas Reeves will

426
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: be a go to scorer for them because on that

427
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: second unit, at least in the first game they played,

428
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: it was Reeves keying a bunch of things alongside Lebron.

429
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: And I think that that's the way JJ's going to

430
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: play things with the Lakers, is when Luca sits Reeves

431
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 3: and Lebron go crazy, then we'll sit Reeves and Lebron,

432
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 3: and Luca just gets to take every single shot if

433
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: he wants to, or create every single shot at the

434
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: very least.

435
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also go Jael and Duran not a surprise here.

436
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: I love this line from Hollinger on Durham. He said,

437
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: quote He's basically two different players in one. He's a

438
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: huge athletics center whom opponents can't keep off the glass

439
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: and a canny elbow operator who can sling incisive passes

440
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: and attack bigs off the dribble. End quote. Well said

441
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: from Hollinger. He has shown so much here this season,

442
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: blown past All start consideration. He's now in the All

443
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: NBA conversation. He's fifth in PR He's a monster on

444
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: the boards. He's carried this team when they were missing

445
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: kid along with other guys. How much is it going

446
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: to cost the Pistons at this point, they're not gonna

447
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: be angry with it. By the way, but he didn't

448
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: sign an extension, right. It was reportedly around thirty million

449
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: per year, So that's going up. Yeah, he's still on

450
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: his rookie deal. Yeah that's a cheap one. Yeah, facts

451
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: for sure. But he's gonna worth be worth every penny

452
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: here with his age. Would you say he just turned

453
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: twenty two, young guy and coming into the season. I

454
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: think the reason he's like high on this list for

455
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot including Fandel is like there were so many

456
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: centers ranked ahead of him. Remember ESPN does their whole

457
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: ranking things. Were the centers ranked ahead of Jayalen Durham

458
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: before the season started, Walker Kessler, Yaka, pertl Mitchell Robinson,

459
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: nas Reed, Zach Edy, Yonis, Delanchunis a Coong Wu, Derek Lively,

460
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: Miles Turner, Isaiah Hartnstein. So yep, this again, that's a

461
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: part of the m I P narrative. It's like, oh,

462
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: maybe we didn't think he'd be that good. He is

463
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: leaping him. He's ahead of all these guys with what

464
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: he's done. Uh. In related news with the Pistons too.

465
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: Walker Kesler, Yeah, go ahead. Uh.

466
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: Dannis Jenkins, he's young, so he's not gonna win an MP.

467
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: But man, like the little mini linsanity run this guy

468
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: went on here when Kane was out. Especially, it's nuts

469
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: And what's the one of the pizzons gonna do? How

470
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: are you gonna find like playing time for all these

471
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: guys when they're when they're back, like when Ivy's back.

472
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Tobias Harris, Okay, that's you know, that's fine, you'll find

473
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: him spot minutes. Paul Reid's been great though. Uh, they

474
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys when they're all back and healthy. Yeah,

475
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: the problem to have.

476
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: But it feels like the Houston Rockets making their move

477
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant and that they have so many guys

478
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: to package together for a star. Now. The Anthony Davis

479
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: talk has been hot, but when you have Jayalen Duran

480
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: work in the middle like this, it's kind of hard

481
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: to imagine putting those two together.

482
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: Josh Giddy, your guy, he gets the most I'm proving

483
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: it player. Okay, twenty one, ten and ten, I'm fudging things.

484
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: There's literally two rebounds and four assists total from averaging

485
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: a triple double. But he looks like the same player

486
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: from March and Giddy has never been a good player

487
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: in the first half of the season.

488
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: He looks great, right, Yeah, that's a great point. It's

489
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: the Mickey Mouse March. We're always like, oh, that's where

490
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: he shines. Check the splits.

491
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gets better in the second half of the season,

492
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 3: but he's doing it in the first half of the

493
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: season right now.

494
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: And what four years, one hundred million dollars was the contract?

495
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: That's a good WHOA, I don't know is that good?

496
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: Is that too much? And yeah, for sure he's playing

497
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: like a max contract guy with those numbers. And how

498
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: well they've played? All right, but we all got during

499
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: all right, Next question here, biggest surprise one month in TK, Well,

500
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: of course the Bulls are back.

501
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 3: But otherwise I would say the Suns are a lot

502
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: better and more fun than I expected. And Devin Booker

503
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: is totally back right now. He's kind of carrying this

504
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: team like Dylan Brooks, I think has been pretty solid

505
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: for them. He was out with injuries. They had Jalen

506
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 3: Green for like thirty minutes. It feels like so far

507
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: this season it's been additioned by subtraction. See you later,

508
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: Brad Beal, See you later, Kevin Durant. The vibes are

509
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: good in Phoenix. They have one win against the team

510
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: that's five hundred or better, so they have played an

511
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 3: easier schedule. But you can only beat the teams that

512
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: are ahead of you, and the Suns are taking care

513
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 3: of business. There have been a lot of disappointing teams

514
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 3: this year, and the Suns definitely haven't been one. The

515
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 3: guy they drafted in the top ten, Malawatch, he never

516
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 3: even plays. All these former Hornet centers are doing okay

517
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: for them. They seem to be a lot more enthused

518
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: this season, and there's a lot better chemistry. And it's

519
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: nice to see Devin Booker playing like an All NBA player.

520
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good one.

521
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. If Mark Williams, or excuse me, if DeAndre Ayton

522
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: wasn't playing well for the Lakers, the Lakers fans would

523
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: be upset. Look at Mark Williams. We could have had that,

524
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: but we traded for him and then he left but yeah,

525
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Suns have been incredible. Jordan not again. Coach

526
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: of the Year votes sure.

527
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, ballot for sure. If they stay winning at.

528
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 2: The YEA, they gotta win.

529
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: Then.

530
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: The schedule has been somewhat soft, and the fact that

531
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Green isn't around for a while. That hurts not

532
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: having a score. But I'm most surprised by how bad

533
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: the Clippers are. They're bad. It's so bad bad. Yeah,

534
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: because they're sitting at four and eleven. It's going to

535
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: be their first losing season since twenty ten. Twenty eleven,

536
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: if they remain below five hundred, that's been a long time.

537
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: We expected their defense to be decent even though they

538
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: got older. Their defense has just falling apart. So shouldn't

539
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: they be able to outscore teams with all these former

540
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 2: All Stars? It ain't happening. I don't see where it

541
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: comes from. I don't think there's any answer. They've already

542
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: lost Bradley Beal for the season. Kawhi is in and out,

543
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: unlike last year when they just kept him out and

544
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: then he came back in January and was playing for

545
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: most of the season. Chris Paul looks old. Unfortunately, the

546
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: Norman Powell for John Collins trade not a goodie could

547
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: use Norm. Derek Jones Junior is hurt. Yeah, they have

548
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: just lost it. And I know they're relying on Harden,

549
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: and Harden looks all right, and that's what they did

550
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 2: for a lot of last season. Again win, but the.

551
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: Difference Hardy was carrying them him and Zoo, but yeah,

552
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: the defense.

553
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 2: And Norman, and Norman was leading, leading their team and

554
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: scoring for months. And they decided. Lawrence Frank at the

555
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 2: head office, I have the video in my head of

556
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 2: them getting Bradley Beal was announced They're getting Bradley Beal,

557
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: and Lawrence Frank was on a call. He was on

558
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: a call with with uh Lom Murray, I believe with

559
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: the Athletic there's doing an interview and then he found

560
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: out while he was talking to Lot Marie, we got

561
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal. So they get Bradley Beal. And then because

562
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: of that, I think they felt comfortable trading Norman Powell

563
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: for John Collins. And now look at this team absolutely

564
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: falling apart. Oh yeah, oh yeah, They've got this whole

565
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: Steve Bamber circumvention of the cap scenario going on there

566
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: that they're not going to have an answer for until

567
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: after the All Star Game. That's going to be in

568
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: the ind to it Dome, which is unfortunate, but I

569
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: guess that's gonna happen from where they may lose a pack,

570
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: so that our pick. Excuse me, So they've got the

571
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: off court drama. And this team again, don't I don't know.

572
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: They're playing in the West. They're not just going to

573
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: float up the standings right now. There's too many teams.

574
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: They're four and eleven here one month in the season,

575
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: and like losses are getting worse and worse.

576
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: It feels like too much turnovers for the Clippers. Only

577
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 3: Harden is playing well for this team, but if anybody

578
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: turns the ball over, it's an easy bucket. The other way,

579
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: you could outrun guys on the cover.

580
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: Well, this is the slogan, and today's game is like

581
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: all pace, Like have we seen this league play this fast?

582
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: Like obviously pushing this much, obviously the defense to ninety

583
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: four feet. Yeah, that's you're going to have to have

584
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: an issue if you're the oldest team.

585
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: They're trying to get younger. They're thrown out there. Yeah,

586
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: they're Sanders, the Colonel the colonel. But yeah, it ain't

587
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 2: en up.

588
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's it.

589
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: Good.

590
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: They came in wearing those shirts. They said, get the

591
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: back guard your grill. Yeah, you gotta get back, get

592
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: the shirts back, Jeff. Nobody even cares about the bomber

593
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: aspiration scandal because they're four and eleven.

594
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 3: Well, and then we had a bligger scandal after well,

595
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: you like way more serious. We did a guy planting trees.

596
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: But my point is that they're eleven and four, Well,

597
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 3: what the hell a cheating? This sem isn't fair, but

598
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: it was like they cheat it, but they still sucks.

599
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Allegedly. All right, good surprises. I'll go with this one.

600
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: Even without Fred van Vliet, the Rockets look like a

601
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: championship contender because when he went down, a lot of

602
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: us were like, Okay, they're gonna be good. They're gonna

603
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: be a solid team. But man, they're gonna miss Fred,

604
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: who's gonna be their point guard? You know, I'm in Thompson,

605
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: that might be too much for him. Reaepherd. He was

606
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: brutal as a rookie. Like we were worried. They're awesome

607
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: right now, And the more I watch them and I

608
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: know I'm going off of recency bias with the I

609
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: thought ask kicking they handed Cleveland. I'm convincing myself, like,

610
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they they're right there, maybe with the Nuggets

611
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: and the Thunder just below them. Last year though, Houston

612
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: had the thirteenth most efficient offense, but they couldn't shoot.

613
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: Their whole offense was don't turn the ball over and

614
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: hit the glass. That was sort of their offense. We'll

615
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: win it with defense, We'll hit some timely shots and

616
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: maybe get those victories. And that worked. But now they

617
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: have the best offense still in the NBA. They've jumped

618
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: to eighth and true shooting percentage, They've increased their free

619
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: throw volume, and they are still the top three point

620
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: shooting team in terms of accuracy, making forty two percent

621
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: of their threes. Now they have the lowest volume of

622
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: three point attempts, but so they make them count. I

623
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: guess when they shoot them. They're sub thirty three point

624
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: attempts per game. But yeah, that better offense when the

625
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: injection of KD and the defense hasn't slipped at all.

626
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: It's never is going to with Yudoka lead team. So

627
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: they just got this great balance right now. Of like

628
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: they play a little bully They still play bullyball because

629
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: of the defense and the glass, but then they have

630
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: this offensive execution going. And I love the synergy between

631
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: Schengun and KD right now at into games. It's awesome.

632
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I'm just didn't see this like

633
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: this level without Van Vleet, especially when he was off.

634
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's important. We've seen it with the Raptors.

635
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: He'd helped this team even, I'm sure, but oh yeah,

636
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: they haven't missed a beat. They've gotten so much better.

637
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: I want to see them in a matchup with Oka.

638
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: See I'm wishful thinking here. I would hope that they

639
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: would have a Fred van Vliet just to run things against. Okay, see,

640
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: that's so good at pressuring the ball. But at the

641
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: other side, the Rockets would be big against this Oka

642
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: se team and be able to get extra rebounds. So

643
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: it would be fun. But I got to count on

644
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: Okayc's defense to be able to get after whoever's hand.

645
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Every team's chasing, Okay, see, yeah that's what you're chasing. Well, yeah,

646
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: the champs and they're better, So yeah, that's them. But

647
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: we find out tonight Nuggets Rockets is a hell of

648
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: a game. That's nice, that's tasty. Yeah, in Houston a

649
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: bit of a measuring stick for both those teams.

650
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: That's why it's the pick them game, that's for sure.

651
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah you go okay, See played Houston obviously, Game one

652
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: of the Year two OT classic, but they.

653
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: Don't play again until January. It's a long time from now.

654
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: But you got to be impressed by the Rockets.

655
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: They may not have a point guard, but when it

656
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: comes down to it in the fourth quarter, they have

657
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: two guys who deserve a double team in Sheng Gooon

658
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: and Kevin Durant. Pick your poison. Yeah, that's why we

659
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: saw Aaron Holliday basically win him a game by going

660
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: for fourteen in a fourth quarter. Just recently, they seem

661
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 3: to understand exactly how they want to play, and they

662
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: don't hit a lot of threes. They're making them, like

663
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 3: you said, and they get to the free throw line

664
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 3: of time. Our fifth in free throws made this year.

665
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: Shannggoon generates them quite regularly. You know, Katie's gonna knock

666
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: him down when he gets to the line. So even

667
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 3: though they're not getting the three point efficiency bump, the

668
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: free throw efficiency bump is where they're making up for

669
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: it for sure.

670
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: All right, final one here, we'll start with your task

671
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: most underrated story in one.

672
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: I know we've been talking about the Mavericks, but ever

673
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: since Nigo Harrison was fired, I think everybody's kind of lying, Ah, okay,

674
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: we're down with that. There's the talk that Kyrie Irving

675
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: would come back if it were the playoffs right now.

676
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: He would be ready to play. According to Mark Spears

677
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: of ESPN, And after watching some of those off season videos,

678
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean literally off season videos before the season, the

679
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: guy looked pretty good. So there's that part. There's the

680
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis part that rumors and they're going to trade him,

681
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Mark Cuban is back

682
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: into things. He's back at courtside and he's running the show.

683
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: All of a sudden he says, no, we're trying to win.

684
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: So there's that whole drama there where he is kind

685
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: of leading the front office with Michael Findley Rashardi now

686
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: who are supposed to be leading, But he's the guy

687
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: in Patrick Dumont's ear as the owner and as the

688
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: current owner, current governor, and Patrick Dumont has to listen

689
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: to the other guy and Mark Cuban. I mean they

690
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: were listening, They've been talking, They've always and buddies, Mark

691
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: Cuban trying to help out Patrick Dumont grow. So I

692
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: think all that on the floor is very interesting. Just

693
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: the whole thing is it's not done. Just because they

694
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: fired a guy, that doesn't mean they're going to be terrible,

695
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: because they do have good players. They will be playing soonish.

696
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: So there's that whole drama. I think that's that's still

697
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: going to be a story for months to go.

698
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: So Clippers four and eleven not loving their chances to

699
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: turn around their season. Mavericks four and twelve, you have

700
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: more confidence maybe because of the Kyrie part.

701
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we don't know when Kyrie's coming back. That's

702
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: the thing. I mean, yes, part of the story is

703
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: that he's coming back now. But I don't think they're

704
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: just going to say, hey, we're getting We're going to

705
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: give up and use our pick. I don't think that's happening.

706
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 2: I think I'm buying in play the.

707
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: Lottery odds once again. Hey, we had Cooper with.

708
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: For a couple for a couple months at least. I

709
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: think they're still going to try and be decent. You know,

710
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: if they have to turn it off in March like

711
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: they did when they were able to get Derek Lively

712
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: back back when they gave up those few games and

713
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: was that twenty three. I guess that worked out. That

714
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: could happen. But I buy the Cuban. I'm buying Cuban.

715
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: See at the cigar show in the Cuban.

716
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how much I buy him backing Steve

717
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: Balmer as a guy who didn't circumvent the rules, but

718
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: I do buy him that he's going to try and

719
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: win because that's what he did. And listening to him

720
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: interview get into interviews this past these past few months,

721
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 2: he basically said the problem with ownership in the NBA

722
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: is that it's all about money and it's not about

723
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: the fans. And that's pretty bold of him as a

724
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: former NBA owner. So I like number one hearing that.

725
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: Number two. I buy that he is going to try

726
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: for his fans and try again. It's so weird that

727
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: he's sort of leading the front office again, but that

728
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: but he wanted to be better.

729
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm still in charge.

730
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he never wanted to leave. But the fact that

731
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: he says that. I think they're not going to trade

732
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: a D anytimes. And what are they getting for a

733
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: D anyways? But we'll see, we'll see.

734
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: Well they could get something which is important. Yeah, they

735
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 3: have no picks going forward after this year. That's why

736
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: it's a question mark of what they'll actually end up doing.

737
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't they have a top two protected pick in

738
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven.

739
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: All I know is they don't control their pick from

740
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 3: twenty seven to thirty after this year. It's either traded

741
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: away or they're on the worst end of a swap.

742
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: But I think you are right. If it hit one,

743
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: if they hit it again, if yeah, I think would

744
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: keep it back, I believe.

745
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 2: But any far fetch that, yeahould that's it. They could

746
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 2: give up at some point.

747
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: What about you tk most underrated story?

748
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 3: The worst kind of stinks like they've got the best

749
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: teams in the league for sure, in the Thunder, the Nuggets,

750
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 3: and the Rockets. I think you would even throw the

751
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 3: Lakers in there as a team that has a puncher's

752
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 3: chance with how we've seen how good they can be offensively.

753
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: Defense will be a problem, I do believe for LA

754
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 3: once it comes down to playoff time.

755
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota okay, like.

756
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: They're winning games. I don't think has really had his

757
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 3: stamp on this season so far. He was out of

758
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: the lineup for a little bit. He's kind of been

759
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: inconsistent when he has been playing. Julius Randalls carried them

760
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: to a couple of wins. But right now Basketball Reference

761
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 3: projects the Warriors to be the eighth seed in the

762
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 3: Western Conference with forty one wins. All of the pleasant

763
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 3: surprises are in the Eastern Conference. We're talking about the Raptors,

764
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: the Pistons, the Bulls, the Hawks. Really only Orlando disappointed

765
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 3: and even they're back over five hundred. But then you

766
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 3: look at the Western Conference, Memphis, the Clippers, Dallas, Sacramento, Cafey,

767
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 3: We're going to be in the mix for a play

768
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: in birth Pelicans, Pelicans. All the disappointing teams are in

769
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,479
Speaker 3: the Western Conference, which is why it's not super panic time.

770
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 3: Like the Clippers have stunk to start the season. They're

771
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: a game and a half out of the tenth seed.

772
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: They are.

773
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: Six games out of the sixth seed right like they

774
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: can easily turn it around and why And that to

775
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: me is what my real point is. We're gonna have

776
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 3: a great slop season. It's going to be awesome this year.

777
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 3: Free agency is dead. Trade season is when things actually happen.

778
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: LaMelo might be moved, ad Ja Trey, any of the

779
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: guys from the Kings, DeRozan, Levine, Sabonis, Zion, Trey, Murphy,

780
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 3: market and kaminga guaranteed to be traded and beating Paul

781
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: George pretty unlikely, but I think that their names will

782
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 3: at least be in the rumor mill when it comes

783
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: down to it. So it'll be exciting times come December

784
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: fifteenth through feb fifteen.

785
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: Basically that's a good point slop season right around the corner.

786
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: I guess tell you what do we do? It starts

787
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: December fifteenth, is all we're saying. That's when all these

788
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: incible to be traded. Yeah, a little more manageable to

789
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: make deals because of contracts you can put in, because

790
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: of players being able to be traded. Yeah, hopefully. Hey,

791
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: trades are good for content, that's right, Let's get them.

792
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. It is odd in the West that there's teams

793
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: in the ninth seed and ten seed that are way

794
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: below five hundred. I mean, I could say way below

795
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: at six and nine and five and nine, while in

796
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. They're above five hundred in the ninth

797
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: and ten seed. And when I'm looking at the little

798
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: mellow ball history in Charlotte, I'd forgotten that winning season

799
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: that they had there forty three and thirty nine and

800
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: they finished in the tenth seed. That's a pretty good

801
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: record for a freaking ten seed. So that could happen

802
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: in the East again, but it is ought to see

803
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: it in the West where there's better teams and then yeah,

804
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 2: a drop off.

805
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: This sort of goes to what you were saying about

806
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: the West. But my most underrated story right now is

807
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: Darren Fox leading the Spurs here without Wemby, really without

808
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: Area fifty one, the duo in Wemby and Castle. Three

809
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: straight wins. Now, they haven't played the greatest talent in

810
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: the world. They beat the Kings, they beat the Grizzlies,

811
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: but they did beat the Hawks last night. That was

812
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: a quality win. Fox is averaging twenty seven, eight and

813
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: three in those wins. He's hitting three three, three, three

814
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: threes per game. That's not easy to say. And he's

815
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: chipping in a bunch of steels. That's what he does,

816
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: swipa himself. But he's like, this is good like when

817
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: your main guys are out, especially your young talented guys,

818
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: you have these vets like Fox, Harrison Barnes, Devin Vessel's

819
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: had some good moments. Kelvin Johnson had a great game

820
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: last night. Our guy, David Jones Garcia David Jones Mancia

821
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: twelve points in eighteen minutes. Guy's been of a bucket.

822
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: No hyphen I don't think he even has no hyphen baby, Okay,

823
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: three names. So it is getting these wins. You gotta

824
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: beat these bad teams, and then the Hawks is a

825
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: quality win and Fox is he's leading them, and this

826
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: is why you get him. Six teams with ten plus

827
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: wins in the West. Spurs are one of them, despite

828
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: missing Wenby here for a little bit of a stretch

829
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: of time, and they're going to miss him more. Uh So,

830
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 1: the no falloff is pretty impressive. I think it's got

831
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: a little underrated deer and Fox gets overlooked. I think,

832
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: or maybe he's perfectly looked at. I don't know, but

833
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: he's been good and he deserves some flowers right now

834
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: with this little stretch of him leading them.

835
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 2: I thought the only hyphen guy or three name guy

836
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 2: that was new to the league that would get pub

837
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: was Nigel Hayes Davis of the Phoenix Suns. Yes, but no,

838
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: he's been outdone by David Jones Garcia.

839
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: Ye, no love for Yanna Conan Niederhauser.

840
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's a three namer. Yeah.

841
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a dash though, is he? I think so

842
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: he's a no dasher that he's a dash on his

843
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: on the back of his jersey.

844
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: Interesting, Yeah, I think you said that was gonna be

845
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: the longest NAMEBA Tyer, Gildess, Alexander Conan, Needen Howser. It's

846
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: a good one. It's a good name. I should give

847
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: him love because it is pretty fun. I can't help

848
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: but say it with an accent. It's fun.

849
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: Some news here too. I don't know if this is underrated,

850
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: but the national NBA games being shown on Peacock, NBC, Amazon, ESPN.

851
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: They've drawn more than sixty million viewers through the first

852
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: month of the regular season, and the league says that's

853
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: the highest opening total in fifteen years.

854
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 2: Adam Silver told us in that press conference there'll be

855
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: more exposures. He called them exposures. No for the national

856
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: broadcast channels. That's why they got in NBC. YEP, he

857
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 2: can just turn it on, whether you're in the country,

858
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: whether you're an urban fan.

859
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: Like you like though. League Pass subscriptions up ten percent,

860
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: I guess viewership up eight percent, so people are also

861
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: enjoying leak Past. I have to say I have had

862
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: no issues with lead past this year, which is nice.

863
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: I've had some Oh really, it's been working really well

864
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: for me. Oh good good multi news it's always loading,

865
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: it's never buffering or anything.

866
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm a buffer man, that's my pro.

867
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: Don't maybe check your inn callin Bruce a buffer.

868
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes I'm Michael just because I know both names. Yeah,

869
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: but I mean silver did say and Kanka Nipple said.

870
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: I quote Conk Nipple who came out and said, well,

871
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: we're going to be on Amazon. It means my family

872
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: can watch again just because they have a fan of

873
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: the Amazon app and people are watching on Amazon Prime.

874
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean just exposure because people use well.

875
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: Could watch every game of his if they wanted to. Well, yeah,

876
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: I can afford.

877
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

878
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: I got a lot of moles defeat they do.

879
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what he does. I don't

880
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: know if he's talking about immediate family, but I think

881
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 2: he was talking more like you know, aunts, uncles, people

882
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 2: people who are like, WHOA I have that, or watch

883
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 2: them I have Amazon.

884
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's sharing his logging.

885
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 3: It seems like a family first guy, you should be

886
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 3: sharing that login. Is the price cheaper one sixty for

887
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: premium only one oh nine? That might be standard? Yeah,

888
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 3: smart move. And I feel like they've beefed off the

889
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 3: pe beefed up the features. Watch Key plays, Yeah, I

890
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 3: like that, that kind of thing. They have like several

891
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: versions of a condensed afterwards, a fifteen minute or you

892
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: can watch in all possessions, which they had always confused.

893
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: They had they always had that, but yeah, yeah, but

894
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: like a.

895
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 3: Forty eight minute game, forty three minutes, when it's condensed,

896
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: all the possessions are we I want to see a

897
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: guy walking the ball.

898
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: Up the court.

899
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't show that. They cut that.

900
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 3: Watch Key plays. It doesn't work for basketball too fast.

901
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: It is fast, I mean it is ideal in baseball.

902
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 2: They have that on YouTube for base key players. Boop

903
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 2: football too.

904
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, there's so many scores in basketball.

905
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 2: It's it's odd.

906
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know where it's okay. I don't mind if

907
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: I come into the game, like maybe midway through the

908
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: second quarter, I'll keep play it up and I just

909
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: get a taste of the first quarter. Sure, I agree

910
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: with your statement overall, but like, yeah, okay, oh MAXI

911
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: was on fire there all right, I got the idea here. Yeah,

912
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: he cooked in the first Okay, here we go, we're live.

913
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if you tune in the second quarter you

914
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: just want to watch some quick key yeah.

915
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 1: Just like five or six plays. Yeah.

916
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 2: But as we've said about number one about the NBA

917
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: YouTube page, they've done a better job of condensing games

918
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: into ten minutes even.

919
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the extended version one that they pick

920
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: like a key game. I like that extended highlights, extended highlights. Yeah,

923
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm silver did say it's a highlight league. They've

924
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 2: made it the highlights better. And also the leak pass

925
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: is cheaper. I know people on our playback channel come

926
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 2: in and say, wholl leak pass is good. It's cheaper good,

927
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: so one nine. Yeah, that's that's way more than reasonable.

928
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,520

Speaker 2: It's almost there. I want you I want you to

977
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: hear it first before I click post. Well, all right,

978
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: so the first nominee, a ref handed out a technical

979
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: foul because the mopping crew took too long. It was

980
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: a delay of game, which ended up being a technical foul.

981
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: Bowls Jazz fourth quarter bulls player falls the mop boys

982
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: as they're commonly called out and do the job. Referee

983
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: Mark Davis says, oh, that's a delay of game. You're

984
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: taking too long. Will Hardy, the Jazz coach, came over

985
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: and said, what a delay of game for mopping they had.

986
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: They had to bleep them out the Jazz broadcast. They

987
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: cut it, they cut it all together, and he was

988
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: basically saying, he said, you're freaking kidding me, and they

989
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: were bleeping out Will Hardy, who was just mad about

990
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 2: a foul that ended up or technical foul that resulted

991
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: in a free throw for Kobe White. Literally one point

992
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 2: was decided because of those officials.

993
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: Are saying your you're you're game in the system here,

994
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: Jazz and Hardy. That's what's gone. What are those boys doing?

995
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: Those boys doing.

996
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: They were taking too long? Were they gaming the systems?

997
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: Just saying too long?

998
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: That's all what I mean by that, right.

999
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, but what are they doing?

1000
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm not agreeing, and I think that's why they're handing

1001
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: them the delay of game. It's like, okay, yeah.

1002
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 2: Speed it up, Yeah, mop faster.

1003
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: I gotta be quick out there, I guess. Huh, multiple

1004
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: guys out there to them up, but guy was down.

1005
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: These are a sweaty NBA players. Yeah, yeah, that is weird.

1006
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't that long. I mean that timed it. It

1007
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: was like, how long were they out there? I'd say

1008
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: eleven seconds? That's not unreasonable.

1009
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 2: No, yeah, no, Mark Davis, I'm surprised with Mark Davis,

1010
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,479
Speaker 2: an incredible NBA referee, would hand that out a delay

1011
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: of game and a technical free throw in the fourth quarter.

1012
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: Second delay of game.

1013
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 2: Yes, that happened. Yes, the second delay of game. The

1014
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 2: first one is just a delay of games. The first

1015
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: time is just a warning. But it was just an

1016
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 2: extra It was an extra point. Then it would turned

1017
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 2: from a three point lead for the Jets to a

1018
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: two point lead for the Jazz, and they went to overtime.

1019
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 2: They did win, so it was all right, but you know,

1020
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: you know, things happened, all right. Second nominee, the Piston's

1021
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: Javante Green. He literally wiped his sweat from his forehead

1022
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 2: onto a basketball during free throws twice on two different

1023
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 2: free throws. It was here in Atlanta. The first time

1024
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 2: passes it back. The second time you see it here

1025
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 2: he gives it to Keaton Wallace who shoots the free

1026
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: throw and misses because of it. So not just once,

1027
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 2: but twice, and sometimes we do see this, yeah, but

1028
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: twice in the same game. I don't, I don't, I don't.

1029
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. And the referee didn't do a

1030
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: thing about it in this scenario, just took the ball.

1031
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: That's delay a game.

1032
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 3: Game.

1033
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we have seen guys do this, right, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,

1034
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: let me grab that, get my sweat on it. They

1035
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: usually usually on the face. Yeah, yeah, you see the

1036
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: jersey break out. Yeah, I'm having some forehead skin problems recently.

1037
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: Don't put a ball on you. I would never. I

1038
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: would never do that. I try and not touch my

1039
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: forehead as much as possible. We should put a hat

1040
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: on you.

1041
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: I guess problem give a little irritation.

1042
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: My forehead skin is too sensitive.

1043
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 2: Just how it is? Just dry or is it?

1044
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: I don't can tell it.

1045
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 2: Dirty hat.

1046
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: No, I clean my hat, I clean my hat and everything.

1047
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: I went to the dermatologists. They said it's contact dermatitis.

1048
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: It's it final. I'll never touch my forehead. Haven't touched

1049
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: my forehead for a year.

1050
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: I gotta get like a James Brown like character to

1051
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 3: come out and dab my forehead.

1052
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

1053
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: It's all about pushing, not not rubbing. Rubbing.

1054
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 2: Yes. Shout out to Seph No for the sweaty forehead videos.

1055
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: We appreciate that last one. Here, this one is just

1056
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 2: it's beautiful.

1057
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: It's art.

1058
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 2: It's Dangel Russell dribbling for twenty one seconds, and I

1059
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: think this is great if you're watching on YouTube, it's

1060
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 2: the entire possession. I had to speed it out there.

1061
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 2: You had it's twenty one seconds.

1062
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: Where it's like yack, Andy sucks now yeah.

1063
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 2: Where he ends up literally tripled the whole freaking everywhere too, yeah,

1064
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 2: and doesn't pass it, and then he gives it to

1065
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 2: Nage Marshall. You shoot it, you shoot it at the

1066
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: end of a possession miss. Yeah, the whole d Angel

1067
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: Russ the thing obviously has not gone well in Dallas whatsoever.

1068
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 2: Maybe he's mad that he started on the bench this season.

1069
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: I guess I would have expected to start for that team.

1070
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: But anyway, those are your three nominees. Let us know,

1071

00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,960

00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, yeah, I mean Will Hardy is like, what

1088
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing?

1089
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,479
Speaker 2: I've never seen him mad before. He was so mad,

1090
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 2: I mean that mad. He's swearing. It's like, are you

1093
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 3: Ball man and he's like a Yannis like speech. Our

1094
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 3: ball boys got a v faster out there. Yeah, our

1095
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 3: jersey's got to be cleaner.

1096
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: It's right, It's right, all right. Get your votes in

1097
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 1: for Tessa's Worst of the Week nominees. Who is your selection?

1098
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: By Fantasy Line of the Night presented by Peloton This

1099
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: was an easy one. Last night. Tyrese Maxi poured in

1100
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: a career high fifty four points to lead the seventy

1101
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: six ers to the one twenty three, one to fourteen

1102
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: overtime win over the Bucks. Look at this line. Maxi

1103
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,240
Speaker 1: went eighteen to thirty from the field, six to fifteen

1104
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: from deep, twelve a fourteen at the free throw line.

1105
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: He added a team high nine assists, five boards and

1106
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 1: six stocks, three blocks, three steals. Oh for Tyrese Maxie,

1107
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: how unrealized that you're five by five played forty seven minutes, man,

1108
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse. He plays his guys. He's averaged in like

1109
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: forty one minutes almost right now. H yeah, yeah, but

1110
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: I'll say that guy's in shape because late in this

1111
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: game must have been in the overtime period, Bucks were

1112
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 1: getting a little desperate, had to play the foul game,

1113
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: and Maxie gets fouled obviously in the backcourt. Great free

1114
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: throw shooter, he's having a monster game. Put him on

1115
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: the line. Uh sprinted, sprinted from the back court to

1116
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: the free throw line. Let's go. Let me get some

1117
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: more points here and get that career high. So he

1118
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: wasn't tired. What a game. And that is your little

1119
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: fancy line of the night, presented by Pelotoni.

1120
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 3: Maxie, I think he could lead the league in scoring.

1121
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 3: He's second right now. I think he's number one, and

1122
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 3: he's number one in minutes. I think he's number one

1123
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 3: in shot attempts and shot attempts per game.

1124
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: He's just the hair behind Luca leading the league in scoring.

1125
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: I do though, I think he could. I kind of

1126
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: a craze. I've like that right now, Like you said,

1127
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna like he can get up the most shots

1128
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: he can get the most minutes because of his conditioning

1129
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: what they need from or they're fine with, and their

1130
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: coach that likes to do that too. So yeah, I

1131
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: think it's in play. I think Luca is going to

1132
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: tick down a little bit here, right with Lebron back

1133
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: in the mix, a little bit, probably, I think, but

1134
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,840
Speaker 1: not that Max. He's going to stay at what he

1135
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: had thirty three, yeah, thirty three and a half, but

1136
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: I think thirty yeah.

1137
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, yeah. The tickdown playing beside Lebron makes a

1138
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 2: little more sense than the tick down playing beside Paul George.

1139
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: Hey, Paul George had a good game, exactly, he did

1140
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: play well.

1141
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 2: Season high because he's only played two games, so with

1142
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 2: twenty one points, was buddy, did you know he is

1143
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 2: sort of limited in terms of his minutes. But I

1144
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 2: thought the the MAXI points would come down because of

1145
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 2: the combination of Edgecombe, Paul George, and Joel Embiid. But again,

1146
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: Paul George ain't gonna play a lot, Joel Embiid ain't

1147
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 2: playing all the time, So maybe MAXI stays high.

1148
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: Oquay, okay, okay.

1149
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 3: Question number two regarding Tyres Maxie, Like we said, forty

1150
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 3: point seven minutes per game right now? There hasn't been

1151
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 3: a player in the NBA to average forty minutes per

1152
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 3: game since Monte Ellis in twenty ten eleven?

1153
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: Is that true? Wow? Yeah, Oh, that's a lot of

1154
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: minutes of minutes. But that's a long time ago.

1155
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 3: That's about yeah, exactly fifteen years. You know, we've changed

1156
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 3: our thinking on how players play. Will he stay over

1157
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 3: forty minutes per game?

1158
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: What's that right now? Forty point seven minutes per game?

1159
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 1: Put me down for no. It's a ton of minute.

1160
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 1: Put me down for no. But pretty damn close. Yeah, yeah, damn.

1161
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 2: Montelis led the league in minutes played twice two years

1162
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: in a row. Forty one point four is then forty

1163
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 2: point three? Who is forty one point four? He was

1164
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 2: with the Warriors? Was that down?

1165
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's done? Ten eleven? Oh, Keith Smart,

1166
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: of course, Keith Smart.

1167
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: Well, the first year it was Don Nelson. Then he

1168
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 2: got fired.

1169
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: For Keith, They're like, you're playing him too much. He

1170
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: came in, let's keep playing. He cut his minutes from

1171
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: forty one to forty. Yeah, rained back a little bit,

1172
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: all right, pick him tonight? Task were we talked about it?

1173
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be Denver Houston.

1174
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 2: What's like, Oh, it's too good. That game is too good.

1175
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 2: Houston favored by two and a half at home. It's

1176
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 2: as exciting. These two teams that should be the best

1177
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 2: competition for OKC in the West. This is the first

1178
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: time they're playing this season. This is an NBA Cup

1179
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 2: game in the Group of death where every team is

1180
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: one in one going into tonight.

1181
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 5: A huge game.

1182
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this game is on Amazon Prime Video. This is

1183
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 2: Yokic versus Shengon, which was great in EuroBasket, that Turkey

1184
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 2: Serbia game where Turkey one sheng Gun gave to Jokic.

1185
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm taking Jokic revenge for nicole A Jokic.

1186
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: But who knows? Who knows? You guys both have the

1187
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 2: rockets to win by three or more at home against them.

1188
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: Should be a nice match. It should be a very

1189
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: good US from I don't have it in front of me,

1190
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: But there are a couple things that could happen tonight

1191
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: in the NBA Cup that could either have a team

1192
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 1: securing a spot to the knockout stage. Our tront Raptors

1193
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: are one of those teams. They win and Pacers lose,

1194
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: that's correct, they secure a spot, and then there are

1195
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: a lot of teams that will be officially eliminated if

1196
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: they lose again tonight. Like there's a whole bunch that

1197
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: are basically already for being honesty.

1198
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: Utah, D Dallas and New Orleans.

1199
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so if they lose their yeah, I mean, let's

1200
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: be honest, they're already out.

1201
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1202
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of those teams got waxed. If

1203
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, point differentials would hurt them regardless. But anyway,

1204
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: Cup games tonight, respect the Cup and we'll be respecting

1205
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: that game for sure. Denver in Houston, I think it's

1206
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: a nine thirty start here on a Friday night, Yes,

1207
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: Eastern Eastern for us.

1208
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 2: Cool.

1209
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,280
Speaker 1: Who isn't good or cool?

1210
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: Cool? Yeah?

1211
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: Cool? Oh, it's Friday. It's the drop that means it's

1212
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: a rapid fire, fun, rapid fire. Not usually all that rapid,

1213
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 1: but let's find out.

1214
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,640

1377
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: another video where they were trying to find out the

1378
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: most average NBA player using their scientific measures, and they

1379
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: decided on Derek Jones Junior. I mean, I get it,

1380
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: like they're they're doing everything stats and size and weight

1381
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: and all that. Derek Jones Junior though, I mean that guy,

1382
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: it's a former dunk champ. It's above average to me

1383
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: in that aspect. But the whole point of this is

1384
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: I've always said PJ. Washington is the Chevy Tracks of

1385
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: the NBA. To me. He feels pretty average in a

1386
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: good way. In a good way. So I would like

1387
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: to see an entire team of PJ. Washington's and could

1388
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: they win the chip of It's being still a pretty

1389
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: good team. He's six', Seven he's got a little bit

1390
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: of weight and.

1391
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 3: A little.

1392
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Bit, YEAH i don't, know you play. DOWN i mean

1393
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the guard play is gonna be, tough.

1394
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 2: BUT i think he would. Be he's an above average, player.

1395
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: THOUGH i know he's The Chevy tracks of THE.
