00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: we got a lot. You got Worst of the Week nominees.

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, some funny ones.

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you decided to go with worst instead of best

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: in the right.

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: We're contemplating, yeah, no doubt, I'll mention some of the best.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: Okay, good. We're gonna do our final NBA Awards watch

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: as we've basically have two nights of basketball left Friday

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: night tonight and then on Sunday, and we'll end with

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: some rapid fire questions which are always not that rapid.

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: But first, some crazy news yesterday seventy six er star

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid underwent emergency surgery in Houston on Thursday after

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: being diagnosed with appendicitis a few hours before his team

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: fell to the Rockets. Wild wild stuff here unclear right

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: now when if I guess, Embiid will be able to

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: return to the court. Jeff Stotts of in Street Clothes,

27
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: tweeting yesterday. These are relatively uncommon surgeries in the NBA,

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: but Grant Hill, Ogann Andobe have undergone the procedure, and

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: the average time loss for an in season surgery like

30
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: this is about three weeks. I think twenty three days

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: is what Jeff stots said. So not great Bob for

32
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: timing wise, and just the unfortunate luck of Joel Embiid here,

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: just another weird injury.

34
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: This guy has the absolute worse luck. I don't think

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: there's any debating that a couple of years ago was

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: the Bell's palsy condition we saw him going through in

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: that first round against the New York Knicks. If you

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: remember that, that was a wild one. A couple of

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: years before that, he tore his thumb in the playoffs,

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: got caught in a jersey that was the same playoffs

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: when Pascal Siakam hit him with an elbow in the

42
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: face and he had the orbital fracture. He's had plenty

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: of orbital frash.

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: He's on both sides of his face.

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: Exactly, and he's had to wear so many masks. And

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: that's all before you know the knee ligaments and the

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: injuries in the East and missing two full years because

48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: of foot problems. He's missed a lot and there's just

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: so many random, so many body parts that he's gone through.

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: So how long he's going to be out, you know,

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: a debatable question as we go into the playoffs. You

52
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: can imagine his first round series if there is one

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: for the Philadelphia seventy scers, if they passed the play

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: and he won't be.

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: There for that, I wouldn't think so.

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, considering that after an incredible practice,

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse said, we had an overnight. Apparently Joel Embiid

58
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: was in bed and called, uh, the Sixers doctors and said, hey,

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: something's going on here.

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: It's like three in the morning.

61
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so Nick Nurse, unfortunately they he thought we're

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: getting ready for the playoffs. All of a sudden that happens.

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: H so there's that leading into a full week off

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: before a playoff series. I mean off, I'd say off

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: a full week of recovery because the playoffs don't start

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: until next Saturday, so he's already undergone the surgery. So

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: there's that.

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they are very likely going to have to

69
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: come through the play in yep, like they are not

70
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: going to have one of these playoff seeds. And then

71
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: you're like, well, there's a whole week off for those

72
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: teams that are in the top six in each conference.

73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: But it's looking like they're gonna have to come through that.

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: So they've got to win a game War two about

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: fall without Joelle Embiid think again, no real.

76
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: Series without Joel and most likely, look, there's no chance

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: is what getting that they're getting they're gonna win a

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: playoff series.

79
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even have them winning any of these playing

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: games without them.

81
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh, they could do that. The crappy part is because

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: it's a playing and you're playing for the seventh and

83
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: the eighth seed. You're going to be playing the Pistons

84
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: or the Celtics if they get through. So it would

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: be different if we could be looking at a potential

86
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Calves or you know, maybe the Knicks. But at this point,

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: because I was looking forward to Joel and be going

88
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: up against Mitchell Robinson that matchup which they had a

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: couple of years ago when he was battling Bell's palsy

90
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: and you could see that his mouth was droopy. He

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: had problems blinking in that series. But now, yes, I

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: would say they could still get through the plan and

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs. But now we're talking a Celtics opponent,

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: or we're talking the Pistons, so I think, yes, we're here. Unfortunately,

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: Nick nurse says, oh, man, we're feeling good. VJ Edge come.

96
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: Apparently his mom called him, and I don't know if

97
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: he saw that his mom called him. He woke up

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: and his mom said, hey, is this fake? That Joel

99
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: ebid is gonna have to undergo surgery for his appendix?

100
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 2: And VJSCMB had no idea he was taking this afternoon

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: nap and he woke up and said, WHOA. I couldn't

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 2: believe this, but it's not fake, mom.

103
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

104
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: Thankfully that you're at least you don't believe everything you

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: read on the internet. Mom, But wait a fact check. Yeah, still,

106
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: this is unbelievable.

107
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid is a real life Cavity Sam from the

108
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: operation board game. Yeah he is. You went through a

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of it twenty eighteen, orbital fracture and a concussion.

110
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen he had an illness. He may have had

111
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: the poops against Marcasol and the Raptors. He had knee

112
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: tendonitis twenty twenty one, torn meniscus twenty twenty two, another

113
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: orbital fracture. He had the torn thumb like you said,

114
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: getting caught in the jersey twenty twenty three, knee sprain

115
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Bell's palsy. And now a week before

116
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs with the team that people starting to get

117
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: like a little excited about. It could be a dangerous

118
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: lower seed with a healthy Embid, a healthy Paul, George,

119
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: Maxi VJ the squad Nick Nurse haven't been there, done

120
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: that with other teams. Now he's got the appendicitis, Like

121
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: you could tell me right now, he's got a small

122
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: horse near his hip joint or a pencil in his forearm,

123
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, yeah, I believe it. It's just so wild.

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: It's always something, and they're the most random things.

125
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: They're pretty random.

126
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so not good for Sixers fans here.

127
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, there's there's no saying, oh, okay, maybe

128
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: he can fight through something. Not in any position where

129
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: they are in the standings that that hurts. It is

130
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: going to be on Paul George. You said that he

131
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: is looking good. Is it a positive that he had

132
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: twenty five games off because he was suspended, so he

133
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: was going to be fresh for they at his age? Yeah, yeah,

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: considering what he looks like, he's not peak Paul George.

135
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: He'll never be peak Paul George, but he and create.

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: He looks like a damn good defender. But he was

137
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: going to be so perfect in that role because he

138
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: didn't have to have so much offense on his shoulders

139
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: with Joel Embiid out there every single possession. He was

140
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: just gonna have to come through. And now he's gonna

141
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: have to do a lot.

142
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: So you still sort of believe though they could win

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs through the play in we're

144
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: talking either winning one or two games.

145
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: We're talking magic heat hornets. Those are the three battles,

146
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: the three teams that they could be battling in a

147
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: couple of games. Yeah, I think they could. I mean

148
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: they could.

149
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: Of course, it's only one game, you know, in a series.

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: If those were like five game series, seven game series,

151
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: I'd probably be taking every team, maybe besides the Miami

152
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Heat against them, I'd take the Hornets. I would take

153
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: the Magic who have. Sorry, I got things going, but

154
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you're right, it's one or two games.

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: It has one or two games. That being said, they

156
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: go and play the Houston Rockets last night immediately after

157
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: this news, and as a bad start, a really bad

158
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: start to that game. They did fight, they did come

159
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: through in the fourth court to make it a close game.

160
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: We'll get to that game a little bit later on.

161
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: But I don't know, is just a bad game because

162
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: of all this bad news and because of the bad

163
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: news around Joel Embiid Or is it because the Houston

164
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: Rockets are really good. We could still see them get

165
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: through to the playoffs. But where they are lying now

166
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: as opposed to a couple of weeks ago, when it

167
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: sure felt like they were going to take the six seed,

168
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: kick those Raptors out and even get up to the

169
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: five seed, and we could see them against the Calves

170
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: would be very different. I'd be totally, totally different with

171
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: the whole healthy MB but this is just it's a recap.

172
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: It is operation the board Game wants one more time with.

173
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Do your kids play that? Do you have that game?

174
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: I don't. I see it in the stores and I say,

175
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: why don't we have that? Yeah?

176
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Fun? I played it recently. Maybe Darryl and Lisa's kids

177
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: had it up in Canada when I was there. Yeah,

178
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: I think so. I will say, like we've talked about, like,

179
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: is it going to come back? Won't he? You know whatever?

180
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: Who knows? Again? Is it two to three weeks? Probably?

181
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: But I want to give credit to Nora, who I

182
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: told her yesterday. I was like, oh my god, you're

183
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: not going to believe this. Joel embiide news Pendicitis had surgery.

184
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: She said, well you can come back pretty quick. I'm

185
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: like, what are you talking about? She's like, well, a couple

186
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: f one drivers did. I was like, what, I guess.

187
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: Carlos Signs in twenty twenty four and Alex Alban a

188
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: couple of years prior, both had this sort of emergency,

189
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: which it usually is you're like in that pain and

190
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: like you go get the surgery. H and they returned

191
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: to racing. Now this is racing. I get it. You're

192
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: in a car. You're not playing NBA bass ball. It's

193
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of like, you know, physical toll on your

194
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: body in a race car. It really is. They came

195
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: back pretty quickly. I think it was like they missed

196
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a race and came back. Carlos Signs, I think one

197
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: after the surgery and came back anyway.

198
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: At sign I couldn't believe.

199
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I was like, hold on, I'm like fact checking my wife,

200
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: like yeah, right, give me a break. Oh damn, she's right.

201
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: So different a race car and playing NBA basketball. But

202
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'm getting to like, could it be two weeks? Maybe?

203
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: Maybe this is surgery through the abdomen and through your core.

204
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: You don't need your care as much for driving it

205
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 2: as much when you're in there, and yeah, there's a

206
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: force like yeah, yeah different. I thought you could take

207
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: a shot.

208
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously a big guy like em Bean, Yeah that's

209
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna be I.

210
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Think I thought you met a shot, as in, you

211
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: take a little booster shot to fight through it.

212
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: Are you saying Carlos Signs cheated four just to win

213
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: the Saudi Arabian GP.

214
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: No, just to overcome the pain, overcome paint shoot it

215
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: our man. Esh literally had to go through this surgery

216
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: not long ago and he was told you can't do

217
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: anything for a month, you know. All it all depends

218
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: on the circumstance. And Esh was not out there playing

219
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: ball in schooling guys for that first month. Like we're

220
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: asking for Joel Embiid. If we're talking a month, that's

221
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: two playoffs. Serious, we're talking about the the Sixers getting Yeah,

222
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: most likely not. And you mentioned like ogn and ob

223
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: he didn't play that he had to have surgery the

224
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: day before the playoffs in twenty nineteen. He didn't play

225
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: in those playoffs at all. He wasn't really part of

226
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: the rotation anyways. He was he wasn't part of the

227
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: raptors needed, but he would have been playing a little bit,

228
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: but he wasn't needed. He could have played in the finals.

229
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: But that's six weeks down the road. Yeah, so yeah,

230
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: we're not gonna see you all. Me it's very very

231
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: unlikely because how are the Sexers gonna win multiple series

232
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: without this crazy?

233
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Crazy stuff is crazy. Let's get to some of the

234
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: games from last night. I had a good one, you know.

235
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: This last week or so, it feels like maybe one

236
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: or two games a night are like this got some

237
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: playoff intensity to it, and last night's game was the

238
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Knicks staying alive in the race for the number two

239
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: seed in the East, beating the Celtics in Jason Tatum's

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: return to Madison Square Garden. No Jalen Brown for the Celtics.

241
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: The obviously is a huge piece off the board, but

242
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: fun game back and forth, and josh Hart was the

243
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: hero last night, coming through fifteen points in the final frame,

244
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: including eight in the final two minutes. He hit a

245
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: pair of dagger threes that sealed the three to one

246
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: series win for the Knicks versus the Celtics.

247
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: Yet those two shots in the last forty seconds, two

248
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: big splash threes. Camera cut to Ben Stiller in the

249
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 2: front row. Wow, it is one of those games we

250
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: see a lot of Joel and Beat injuries. We also

251
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: see josh ar come through in moments like this, right yeah,

252
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: Lake game, and so you're gonna need that. That being said,

253
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: I consider this a Celtics win without Jalen Brown, for

254
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: him to be out as as they manage his legs

255
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: getting him ready for the postseason. To have guys like

256
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: Peyton Pritchard coming through and Baylor shyrin coming through to

257
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: getting them right till the end of the game without

258
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown and Jason Tantum. I thought, you know, it

259
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: wasn't his perfect game. He was out there turning the ball. Yeah,

260
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: good game though. Yeah, overall seven for twenty wasn't It

261
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: wasn't perfect, had six turnovers. A couple of times. Guys

262
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: just couldn't catch the ball. Vucevic catch that thing. Sam

263
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: Houser in the corner, catch that thing. There was that

264
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: one with three minutes left where Peyton Pritchard was sort

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: of led with a bad pass.

266
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always Pastor's fault, man. Yeah, it was out there.

267
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: Came Pritchard wants to be beyond the three point line,

268
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: take a deep three, and that was towards the sideline

269
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: and it actually got sort of in the way of

270
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: the referee, got in the way of the pass, and

271
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 2: Pritchard was mad at the referee. But I thought TAM's

272
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: passes weren't perfect.

273
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: He was Conda was a little loose at the end.

274
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Heart like got the jump ball situation the one time, yeah,

275
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: which they ended up winning the jump all too So

276
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: they basically got that possession yeah, not a turnover, but

277
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean sort of, So yeah.

278
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: He I thought Tatum was not giving it absolutely everything.

279
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: He will be in the postseason. Like defensively, I think

280
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: he could have recovered different ways, He could have got

281
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: in there for passes in different ways. But I think

282
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 2: he is also getting ready for the postseason like all

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: of us, Like all of us NBA podcasters, he is

284
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: considering where he's been. Like you said, this is his

285
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 2: first game back in Madison Square Guarden, so he's just

286
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent right quite yet. So I think

287
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: he is warming up. But for them to get to

288
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: the end of this game with John Brown out and

289
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: your three guys off the bench and Pritchard, Chireman and

290
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: Vouch coming through just an eight man rotation, Jordan wallsh

291
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: being thrown into the starting line up, I thought this

292
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: was a good game for them overall, and for the

293
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: Knicks to need a couple splashes from Josh Hart. He'll

294
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: have to do that in the postseason. Yeah, but I

295
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: thought just the clicking of both mckel Bridges and ogn Ando,

296
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: we just was lacking a little bit, like, oh, you

297
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: didn't have a good shooting night. Bridges didn't shoot a lot.

298
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: He was four for four, but that's all he shot.

299
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: You know, Towns wasn't great, so I didn't think. I

300
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: thought the Mitchell Robinson insertion into the lineup was really

301
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: really big. He into the second unit, I should say,

302
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: into the line but here he comes.

303
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: Yea.

304
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: He really helped out that the starters and they got

305
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: there to the end. But all in all, yeah, fun game,

306
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: playoff game. But Celtics feel good going into the postseason.

307
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, Baylor baggins Man coming through. Sharman was

308
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: feeling himself. He was talking a lot of shit there

309
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: msg as he should have been. He couldn't miss when

310
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: he hit that one like relocation three late in the games,

311
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: Holy molly, he was feeling it. It good sign for

312
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: the Celtics that he played well because he's going to

313
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: get minutes here, I I think in the postseason and

314
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: then Vuch going a little bit better. That was good

315
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: sign probably for them. But Brunson too, like this is

316
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: like a playoff preview. I thought for Brunson, it's like,

317
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: oh yeah, cool, collected as always comes through. In the

318
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: fourth he had the step back three, got to the

319
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: free throw line. He set up heart with a beauty

320
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: dime inside late, so him in heart, I thought, took

321
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: over this game late and got them to the victory.

322
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: The Celtics are probably not panicking too much, though, their

323
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: magic number to clinch the number two seed remains at

324
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: one game with two games left at home to the

325
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: visiting Pelicans and then the Magic on Sunday. The Knicks

326
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: hosts two playoff hungry teams let's call them in the Raptors,

327
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: which is tonight, and then the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.

328
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: So you know, the Celtics are still in the driver's

329
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: seat here, I think for the number two. See but

330
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: just made things a lot more interesting closer something like

331
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: fourteen seeds are still up for grabs as we get

332
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: into the final weekend of the NBA season, Like only fourteen,

333
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: only two the number one seeds are the only ones

334
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: actually locked in everything else, you know, there's still some

335
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: movement from one side of the other depending on your seeding.

336
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: So sort of fun.

337
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: Well, the Spurs are locked into the two seed in

338
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: the West. How could they not be? They're they're locking

339
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: into the two seeds because they're three games back of

340
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: the the Thunder.

341
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, fourteen, So how many other total, there's twenty seeds. Oh,

342
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: that's why, that's why. Okay, okay, twenty got this rare.

343
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Rare situation where there's twenty seeds.

344
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: Six or six teams are in their spots.

345
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: I guess, Yeah, the Suns are locked into the sea.

346
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right. Okay, Now the Wolves I think are

347
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: even six. So this makes some sense here, Yeah, okay, okay,

348
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: fourteen of the twenty, yeah, are still up in the air.

349
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: That makes that makes more sense. But what also feels

350
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: like inevitable, like we're locking into the second round of

351
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference playoffs, is this series?

352
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sure feels that way. We're running a back.

353
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Raptors talk, but they play the

354
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: next tonight. But if it was Nicks Raptors, or if

355
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: it was Nicks Hawks, because that five six seeding in

356
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference is still up for praps yep Raptors,

357
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: Knicks excuse me, Raptors Hawks currently tied at the fifth seed,

358
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: you would still be taking the Celtics and Knicks. Thing said,

359
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: it's going to be fun. It's gonna be fun.

360
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: Those other games. I'll throw a few at you. The

361
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: Raptors move closer to a playoff berth. They beat the

362
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: slumping Heat one fourteen. They just own the Miami Heat.

363
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Lebron had twenty six led the Lakers past the Warriors.

364
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: No Steph Curry, but big win for the Lakers and seeding.

365
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: And then the Rockets beat the seventy six ers, like

366
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: you said earlier, one thirteen, one oh two. That's our

367
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: eighth straight wins. So they are hot right now in Houston.

368
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Let's show you the playoff matchups and then maybe any

369
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: of those games you want to talk about tasks, because yeah,

370
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: right now the four or five in both sides, it

371
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: is Lakers, Rockets in the West, then Calves Raptors in

372
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 1: the East, three six Denver Minnesota, and then it's the

373
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: Knicks and the Hawks currently and then you see all

374
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: the other teams there in their playoff positions and the

375
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: one in two seeds. But yeah, any thoughts from those

376
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: games or just what we're looking at here on YouTube

377
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to the playoff matchup.

378
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: Well, you said the Nuggets are in the third seed

379
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: right now, and that's where the Thunder want to keep.

380
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: The Denver Nuggets. It is hilarious tonight. The Thunder are

381
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: playing the Nuggets. But they're sitting everybody against the Nuggets

382
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: so they win. They want them to win so they

383
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: can play the Spurs in the second round before they

384
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: face the Thunder.

385
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're saying you don't want Denver in the four

386
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: five because you, in theory, would be playing them in

387
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: the second round.

388
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're okay, See, you'd rather see the Nuggets

389
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: play the Spurs in the second round and one of

390
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: them gets eliminated and so you only have to battle

391
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: with one in a conference finals rather than having to

392
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: deal with two.

393
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: To go through both.

394
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, that's smart. The Thunder are sitting everybody,

395
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: and I love the listing of every guy who's out tonight.

396
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,719
Speaker 2: It's Shay Oblique, Hertenstein, Cath, everybody has an injury, then

397
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 2: you see a Caruso rest. We're not trying to hide it, dude.

398
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: We're sitting these guys to get ready for the playoffs.

399
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: They have that one seed so they don't necessarily have

400
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: to play these guys. Are they going to get fined

401
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: for sitting guys in game eighty one in the season, No,

402
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that falls under the criteria at the rules,

403
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: But it's the smart thing to do. They want to

404
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: wait to have those guys, have those teams beat each

405
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: other up. There's that. I think that's funny. I do

406
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: want to give the Raptors plenty of love, not just

407
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: because we started this show in Toronto, but because they

408
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: look a lot different than the team last week. That

409
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: loss of the Sacramento Kings Are sure felt like I assumed,

410
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: especially with a healthy Joel Andbid, that they were going

411
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: to fall to a play and spot.

412
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that looked like a very bad loss in terms

413
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: of their playoff seeding at the time, that King's loss,

414
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that one could come back

415
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: to bite them in the Yeah, it felt that way.

416
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: But now they mopped the Heat two games in a row,

417
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: so they got lots of good things. Brandon Ingram obviously

418
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: was cooking in this game. He was getting the rolls,

419
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: he was looking up. Wow, this was just it's just

420
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: his night letting go of the ball. I do think

421
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: Andrew Wiggins getting into foul trouble did hurt in this game.

422
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: He only played twenty seconds in the second quarter when

423
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: the Raptors were able to spread this game out a

424
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: little bit, and Wiggins was a plus six in all

425
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: his minutes. He was needed, and he was good. In

426
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: that first game that the Raptors were able to beat

427
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: the Heat he had twenty four points, but just so

428
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 2: many good things for the Reps. I think they just

429
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: it showed that they love each other. Remember earlier on it.

430
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: I guess it was just like a month ago when

431
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: we had that incident when de Jontay Murray was standing

432
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: over Jamal Shan and nobody came to Jamal Shed's defense.

433
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: In this one, we had a Pelly Larson, little push

434
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: of Scottie Barnes, everybody running up, Argie Barrett running up,

435
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: going to help you out. Even though it wasn't the same,

436
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: but you could see the love, the passion fight yeah yeah,

437
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: and Colin Murray Boyles speaking of fight that dude. This

438
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: rookie has been fighting through injuries. He had seventeen points,

439
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: shot perfectly from the floor, but you can just see

440
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: him on the beach. He is hurt man his back squad,

441
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: but he's fighting through it. So there's a lot of

442
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: guys fighting through it. I think the manual quickly. Even

443
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: though he didn't have a good game, he was battling

444
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: planner fighter fasciitis, and he was walking in a boot

445
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: for a while, according to our man Michael Grange, who

446
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: saw it happening. And this is the second game back,

447
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: and so that's great. I thought maybe he won't be

448
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: ready to go for the postseason, but here we are.

449
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: All these guys will be ready for eight playoff series.

450
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: We're going to get a playoff series for this Roader

451
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: ims for the first time in a long time. I

452
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: mean we say that it'll happen. It'll happen. Hopefully they'll

453
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: be they'll be fighting through it. Not necessarily a victory

454
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: in terms of a full playoff series of victory.

455
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: But probably. But and here's why, because this is an

456
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: insane tweet from Tim Reynolds. Raptors are twenty six and

457
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: oh okay, twenty six and o versus the Hawks, the Heat,

458
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: the Pacers, the Bulls, the Calves, the Jazz, the Blazers,

459
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: the Warriors, and the Grizzlies. They're oh and twenty against

460
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: the Celtics, the Knicks, the Rockets, the Nuggets, the Clippers,

461
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers, the Spurs, and the Wolves. They're nineteen and

462
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: fifteen versus everybody else. That's insane. Now in the twenty

463
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: six and oh there was some decent teams, the Hawks obviously,

464
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: who they just have their number, and the Calves surprising one.

465
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: That's the one. You're like, what, but they're playing an

466
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: MSG to night, the Raptors are and they're trying not

467
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: to go oh and five versus the Knicks, who have

468
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: had their number this year. Uh, they're for the most part,

469
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: really good against the average to bad teams in this league,

470
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: and they're quite bad against the good teams. I've said

471
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: this now for months here on the show. But the

472
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: Calves one is interesting. I guess they want that matchup

473
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: four to five. I still have very little confidence they

474
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: could win a series against them. Could it be competitive? Yeah,

475
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I think it might be a bit of a test

476
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: for them. So we'll see if they can hold onto

477
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: the fifth seed or if they fall to the six seed,

478
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: because it's looking likely they'll be five or six.

479
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, we really want to see them against the Calves.

480
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: There's no doubt, considering they won all three of those games.

481
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: I mean they were they were in November. It was

482
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: a long time ago. Yeah, it was pretty hard, and

483
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: yeah they were going through some stuff themselves, so it

484
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: could it could be them. Now the Hawks have the

485
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 2: Calves in the heat for their final two games. So

486
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: those are tough, tough games. Considering you go into Miami

487
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: for that last one, it's not a lock that the

488
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: Hawks are going to win that game. So the Raptors

489
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 2: could easily beat the Nets, who they have in their

490
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: final game of the Sea. Yeah, so it could easily

491
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: be Raptors Calves in Round one. So that's a good sign.

492
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: I know those games in November don't necessarily matter, but

493
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 2: I'd rather see the Calves than the Knicks.

494
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Tonight, I know Toronto clinches the five seed with

495
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: a win and losses by Atlanta and Orlando. That would

496
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: have to happen. I saw Hollingder had the huge breakdown

497
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: of like, if this happens, then this is a lock

498
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: for this team. If this happens, and this happens, and

499
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: this means this team is the third seed or the

500
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: four seed. Like it took them three tweets to explain

501
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: everything in the Eastern Conference just for tonight. The West

502
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: is a little you know, it makes a little bit more

503
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: sense in terms of tonight. In fact, I could just

504
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: tell you the Nuggets clinched the third seed with a

505
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: win and a Lakers loss. The Lakers clinched the fourth

506
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: seed with a win and a Houston loss. The Clippers

507
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: clinched the eighth spot with a win and at Portland.

508
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: So that's a big game. Actually, Clippers Blazers playing for

509
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: sort of eight to nine location in the play in

510
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: but the East. I mean, I'm not gonna read it all.

511
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. It's a mess. Any other thoughts. So

512
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: on last night's games, before we get to awards, watch.

513
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: No, Maddy. It was great to see Vladimir Guerrero at

514
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: the Raptors game. Vladimir Guerrero Junior out there in the

515
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 2: front row throwing out T shirts. Just felt like a

516
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: playoffs and here we go.

517
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: How are the Jays doing?

518
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 2: Started Portland averaging? Okay, classic jas. I would have loved

519
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: to ask Vladimir grow Actually I'll save it for Best

520
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: of the Week, okay, because there's But anyways, it was

521
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 2: great to say it just felt like a playoffs and

522
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 2: him showing up, I felt like playoffs. We are going

523
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 2: to see playoffs in Toronto for the first time many years.

524
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two. M Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, been

525
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: a while. All right, let's get to our final NBA

526
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: Awards Watch. We're using the odds from fan Duel and

527
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: we're just gonna like sort of set the table here

528
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: with only two nights left of the regular season of

529
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: where it stands with all six of the major awards.

530
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: Apologies to the Clutch Player of the Year Award. I

531
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: think SGA is just gonna win it anyway, right, and

532
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: it's like who cares? All right, first one, it's the MVP.

533
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: It looks like SGA is gonna win this. So minus

534
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: seven thousand favorite on fan Duel, Wemby plus thirty three hundred,

535
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: Yokich plus seventy five hundred. My favorite part about showing

536
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: these to everybody on YouTube and the podcast listeners. I

537
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: will try and go through them all. You know, these

538
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: are short lists. Now, it's like we're at the point

539
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: where it's like, in MVP case, it's only three guys.

540
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm not cutting this off. That's all you can vote on.

541
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: Some of these other ones, like rook there it's a

542
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: two man race. A few others have a little more guys.

543
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: But anyway, SJA, we just had a player poll on

544
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: the Athletic I think he got like nearly forty percent

545
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: of the vote. He's winning this thing. It does feel like,

546
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: at least.

547
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt he should be winning

548
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: this thing. And I understand there's Wemby fans out there

549
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: and there's Jokic fans out there to support those two guys.

550
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: ShaSS kicking ass. In those minutes he's on the floor,

551
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: beaten the opponents by sixteen and a half points per

552
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: hundred possessions, and you know, the non garbage time inutes,

553
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: they would have won sixty eight games if he played

554
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: all the games, they still have the most wins in

555
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: the NBA. And that's why, And it's because he's played

556
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: more games than all the other candidates in this He's

557
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: played more games than Wemby and Jokic and Luca and everybody.

558
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 2: And I think that does matter, considering this is a

559
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: team sport and he is mister consistency. And maybe he's

560
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: not the sexiest, maybe he doesn't have the highlights of

561
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: Victor Wemanyama, but really matters is that his team's at

562
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: the top. He's played the most games. He started it

563
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: off incredibly well with that double overtime win against the

564
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 2: Houston Rockets on opening night. If he doesn't pull that out,

565
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 2: you know, without Jalen Williams in the lineup, Like, if

566
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't pull that out, things are very different. I think,

567
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 2: I know that's just one teeny tiny game, but that's

568
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: who mister consistency is. That's what it just wins a period. Yeah,

569
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: that's that was really really important for that team and

570
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 2: that's why they're the top seed. So it's I know,

571
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 2: people aren't gonna say, ain't it fun? It's not fun

572
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 2: in part because you're giving it to a repeat winner

573
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: and it's not again, not a sexy as Trey brought up,

574
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 2: and we created a short.

575
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: He is a.

576
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 2: Metronome in that he produces. He's mister consistent. He gets

577
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: into the mid range and he hit shots and a

578
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: high ratio of his clips are not highlights or are

579
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: you know, extravagant exquisite sexy clips. But who cares When

580
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: it comes to this again, you could have a we

581
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: could have an MVP Most Valuable Player, but you could

582
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: still have a most you know, most outstanding player and

583
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: a sexiest player. You know, we could we could have

584
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: created Yeah, the sexiest is not what they would call it.

585
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: They need to call it something else.

586
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: Adam Silver, give the sexiest player of the year.

587
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: He comes out in his skims.

588
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.

589
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: For beauty touche. Either way, he deserves it, don't you think.

590
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: Yes he does, and uh, I mean he's going to

591
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: win it, and he's going to go back to back

592
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and uh, he is going to cement himself as the

593
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: greatest Canadian basketball player of all time. I already thought

594
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: he was for a couple of years of I'm being

595
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: completely honest. I got tweets the show that and I

596
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: had a lot of pushback on that. Oh what Steve Nash.

597
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: Steve Nash, you know two time m v P. Yeah,

598
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: I get it. I watched the Nation his entire career.

599
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: He's my hero. I love this guy's better. He just is.

600
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: And now you know so much for that argument. He's

601
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna do the exact same thing SGA or that Steve

602
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: did and go back to back MVPs, by the way,

603
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: might win back to back titles, back to back finals

604
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: MVPs and that too. So yeah, yeah, he's deserving. Look

605
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: a couple other things. He's doubled as much as anyone

606
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: else in this league. SGA is and he still barely

607
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: turns the ball over. He ranks ninety six percentile in

608
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: turnover rate. That's pretty amazing. He's also a good defender.

609
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: I think it gets overlooked because there's a lot of

610
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: awesome defenders on his team in Wallace and Crusoe and Dort.

611
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: But he was maybe overrated last year defensively, but he's

612
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: underrated I think now really good at the point of attack.

613
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with any of these picks. If

614
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: you had a ballot and you filled it out and

615
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: you went SGA, you went Wember, you went Jokich. Basketball

616
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: poetry said it best. This is like choosing between the sea,

617
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: the sky and soil with these three guys. They're all important,

618
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: and they're all amazing. Take your pick, but I think

619
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: he's going to win it. I think the odds basically

620
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: illustrate that, and the player polls and Bontemps straw Pole.

621
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty astonishing though, it's pretty amazing. It's gonna

622
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: be weird when you're like, Jokic did what he did?

623
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: What right?

624
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: And he might finish third in this Yes? Right?

625
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And some people definitely taking Yokic.

626
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: I get that.

627
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: I do think games play does matter.

628
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: I do think when you split hairs, yeah, yeah, and

629
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: it should yeah.

630
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: It really should because those create wins. And I know

631
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: the Nuggets were pretty good without Jokic, but you look

632
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: at where the Oklahoma City Thunder are in the standings,

633
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: and that's important. And that's why Shay compared to Nash

634
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: is very different in where they are in the standings.

635
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: They're in the one spot. And you're right about the defense,

636
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: and he is a part of the league's best defense

637
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: and he's really good at that. Obviously, there's so many

638
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: other guys and he's just he's it's not even part

639
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: of the discussion when it comes to defense. Shaye is not,

640
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: even though he is that good and he can recover

641
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: and he will block somebody by the rim because he's

642
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: that good, because he's tapped into the rotations and what

643
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 2: the schemes are for DEGNAT because that's what a good

644
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: leader does. It is a team sport. As much as

645
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, we just want to look at Jokic and

646
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: all that. I mean, it doesn't matter. I think where

647
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: you're on the standings and what you're producing and how

648
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: many games have been played.

649
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: And his all NBA teammate barely played. That's another part

650
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: of this like that that gets completely overlooked. I guess

651
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: just because the Thunder are an awesome team. Jadub played

652
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 1: thirty odd games and there's still the number one seed. So, like,

653
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of other guys MVP candidates,

654
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, if that's the case, everybody like builds up

655
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: that player, like like okay, like Jylen Brown's a good example,

656
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: and it's amazing, it's astonishing, like Notatum is like holy crap,

657
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: Like he still led this team to fifty wins. That

658
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: is something. But I don't know, it doesn't get talked

659
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: about a lot in my opinion with SGA, like that

660
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: is a really good player that they missed the entire season.

661
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: They didn't miss a because he's your leader and he's

662
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: so steady and he gives you thirty plus, So I

663
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: don't know, it's a he's gonna win it. Yeah, it's awesome.

664
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: And it also happened last year with Chet Homeward he

665
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: only played in thirty two games. I guess the problem

666
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: for a lot of people out there is who is

667
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: their second best player. That's always the It's not a

668
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: clear cut it's Jalen or it's Chet, while with Brown

669
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 2: and Tatum it's clearcut.

670
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like people think, not not everybody,

671
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: but a majority of people think if you took Sja

672
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: off the Thunder. I think a lot of people, and

673
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're right or wrong, but they

674
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: think the Thunder would still win forty games, forty plus games,

675
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: forty five games. I don't know if I believe that.

676
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: I actually don't, but I think people think that, and

677
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: then people go, you took Wemby off the Spurs, you

678
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: took yokicch off the Nuggets the bottom of the barrel, right,

679
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: they're in a twenty five win team. Do you think

680
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: that's fair? What people I think think or project with

681
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: these teams and comes into the valuable part of most

682
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: valuable player.

683
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: I think when some people argue that.

684
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: But I think they just discredit Sga, like they just go, yeah,

685
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: you took him off, they'd still be good. I don't

686
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: think they wouldn't. I don't. I think he's a big,

687
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: big reason why they win sixty plus games and won

688
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: the title last year.

689
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: I would love to see what the Nuggets are with

690
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: just Jamal Murray leading their team. I know we all say, eh,

691
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: they're bad without Jokic, but As I said, they recovered

692
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 2: very well for this one time in Yokic's career where

693
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: he missed a long period, And I would love to

694
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 2: see what the Spurs are without Wemby for you know,

695
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: a full couple months or whatever. He still played a

696
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: ton and he's still very deserving as an MVP. But

697
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 2: he's gonna win.

698
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: The fact that he is twenty two years old. And

699
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,239
Speaker 1: even in this conversation is nuts in Wemby. Yeah, Like

700
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: we're like, we're like, he's runner up or top three

701
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: in the league, is what we're saying. Yeah, and he's

702
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: and he's proven that.

703
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was not ready. I was not ready preseason.

704
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't I I know, you know, Trey threw him

705
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: at the MVP table immediately we're talking about year three here.

706
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: I just go based on what I've seen, and I

707
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 2: was totally you know, I'm a little biased. I hang

708
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: on to the past a little too much. The first

709
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: time we saw him out in Summer League, and he

710
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: couldn't fit through that doorway and I thought he was

711
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 2: going to bang his head. He was terrible in Game one.

712
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: I just you know all that to say I knew

713
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: he was obviously getting better. But I didn't think he

714
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: was he was this. I mean, I don't know if

715
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: anybody thought he was this, especially coming off last year

716
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 2: when he played basically half the season in forty six

717
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: games last year. Yeah, So to see him do this

718
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: and be consistent, not as consistent as mister consistency, but

719
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 2: still very very very very very good. So looking forward

720
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: to him winning plenty.

721
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to win Defensive Player of the Year

722
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: if he gets the games played under his belt. Let's

723
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: go to that one. He's minus four thousand, now this

724
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: should be minus four hundred thousand, but he still has

725
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: to play what one more game right to qualify. Oh boy,

726
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: So I think he's going to. I think they're going

727
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: to roll him out there for twenty plus minutes in

728
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: one of these final games for him to get this,

729
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: because I think he wants it, and I think that's

730
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: enough for the Spurs organization to play him.

731
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: He just has to come play one of these last

732
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: two games and play twenty minutes. That's as simple as that. Yeah, So, yeah,

733
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: he still do that. Gosh, I was going through the

734
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: exceptions for this award. You're supposed to be able to

735
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: get to sixty five, but there are exceptions. Oh man,

736
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: it'll do your head not fun. I mean, you can

737
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 2: play in one exception, you can play fifteen to nineteen

738
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 2: minute games and have those granted if you have up

739
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: to two qualified games. So you can play sixty three

740
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 2: regular games and have those get you to sixty five,

741
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: or you can play in the n season tournament final.

742
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 1: Right right? So it it did count is? I said

743
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: that the other day, and I said it with I

744
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent sure, but I was like, I

745
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: think they're counting that as a game play, ye, even

746
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: though nothing else counts in terms of scoring records and

747
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: stuff like that.

748
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 2: Apparently it okay, I thought, So if he doesn't win,

749
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: they will change the rule and then we can refer

750
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 2: to it as the victor wemen ya'm a rule, Like

751
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: we're never going to have these sixty five games, these

752
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 2: hard sixty five games. I say hard, but there are exceptions. Anyway, whatever,

753
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: it will be the.

754
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: Way I think he's getting there, And so the only

755
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: real drama remaining is like will he be unanimous defensive

756
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, Like will everybody on their ballot

757
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: have Wemby won? Or will there be some rudy Gobert,

758
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: chat Holm, Grin, Scottie Barnes, somebody else.

759
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. You think it'll be like

760
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: everybody and everybody votes, you know, after the regular season,

761
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: everybody has their ballot. But as their man Dan Devine said, A, yeah, who,

762
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: they do not vote until I should say they have

763
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 2: their ballot. I shouldn't say that.

764
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't think they do.

765
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,280
Speaker 2: Know they don't. They don't. They don't have their ballot

766
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: until regular season is over. So it's not like they're

767
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 2: just throwing it in there now and somebody's saying Wenby

768
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: doesn't play enough for Rudy Gobert. Wenby will be on

769
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 2: the ballet if he does play. My question is are

770
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: they going to hold him out because he's got a

771
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: rip rib contusion? Just he's got a rib issue, So

772
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: maybe if they're going to be cautious, then they do

773
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: hold him out. However, they probably just want to get

774
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: him there and let him win it if he's able to.

775
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: So I do think he'll play and he'll yeah, be unanimous.

776
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: I think, yeah. All right, Rookie of the Year. Here's

777
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: a fun one. This is a two man race. At

778
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: last check, this was me doing this yesterday afternoon on

779
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: FanDuel minus one twenty con Kinnipple the favorite, Cooper flag

780
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: plus one hundred, so very very close. You know, this

781
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: was cons for a majority of the season. Then Cooper

782
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: scored the fifty one points. They followed up with forty five.

783
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: Then the odds flipped suddenly and Cooper was the favorite.

784
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: Well we're back here to conk Nipple being the slight favorite. Tasks.

785
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: You know, if you had the ballot, how would you

786
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: fill this one out with a couple of days left.

787
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: I think I've to be part of the minority. I

788
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: would still vote confident. Well, I would still hang in.

789
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: I would hang in despite Cooper and what he's been

790
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: doing the last few weeks, the fifty spot, I get it.

791
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: I think con has just been mister consistency from the

792
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: rookie side. He's played in almost every single game, like

793
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: very very He's at seventy nine with two games remaining.

794
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: If I'm correct, he's way better than just a three

795
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: point shooter. I'm tired of that argument. Whenever he sees

796
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,479
Speaker 2: an advantage, if he's a little bit bigger, then he'll

797
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: take that person into the mid range or the post,

798
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, the the negative being he ain't Cooper flag size,

799
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 2: so he doesn't have that advantage over everybody. But the

800
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: three point percentage, of course, it's better than Cooper flags.

801
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 2: The two point percentage is better than Cooper Flax by

802
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 2: a significant amount. I would call it a significant amount

803
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: for this guy who's not known as that, and he's

804
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: a good playmaker. I still think whether he's literally setting

805
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 2: picks and then being sort of an outline to receiving

806
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: that ball and making passes, or just having to create

807
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 2: as a secondary playmaker or whatever, I put some stock

808
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 2: into their record. I think that's somewhat important.

809
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: Okay, that's interesting. I wanted to ask you that because

810
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: usually with Rookie of the Year, we don't give a

811
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: shit about that the team's success or lack of it,

812
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: because I guess when we're debating rookie of the years,

813
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: they're usually on bad teams and you're just like, well,

814
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: who's the best rook either stat wise or eye tests

815
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. But you are putting something into it. You're saying,

816
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 1: between this one again, if this is a close one

817
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 1: in terms of their numbers and stuff like that, yeah,

818
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: CON's a little more efficient, but Cooper is the more

819
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: well rounded player and does have better stats like counting stats.

820
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: But you're saying the Hornet's success and the impact he's

821
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: had on winning basketball that makes you veer a little

822
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: bit more towards Kniple, which I think is fair. But

823
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: some people say, now you're moving the goalpost, you know,

824
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: like no one cared about that ever.

825
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, Cooper is going to be the better player

826
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 2: when all is said and done and when we look

827
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: at this thing and great, oh yeah the rookies drafted

828
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 2: in this draft. Yeah, Cooper's most likely going to be

829
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: the better player. He's grown a lot over the season,

830
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: but the Hornets have been ridiculously consistent because of Conk Nipple.

831
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 2: They started poorly. I mean they're fourteen and twenty six

832
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 2: or the first forty.

833
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: Games, fourteen to start out of the game.

834
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so after those first forty games or they're

835
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: fourteen and twenty six, they're twenty nine to eleven after that,

836
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: And that's because of the growth in this season of

837
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, and I think a lot

838
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: of that is on Conkin Nipples shoulders. I think just

839
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: because he's been in all seventy nine games, I shouldn't

840
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: say a seventy nine of their eighty games, he has

841
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 2: been a rock And so I'm factoring in when I'm watching.

842
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: I think that should factor Like I've watched October, in

843
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: November and January of Conkain Nipple, and I said, he

844
00:40:54,360 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: is easily the best player back then because Cooper started slowly, they.

845
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Did him no favors. No, they had no point guard.

846
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 2: That was a mistake.

847
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: So and then then of obviously they have the huge

848
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, the still the fallout of the Luca trade

849
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: and all that, and Anthony Davis then being traded, and

850
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: then they leaned into tanking. I mean, I'm saying he's

851
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: been dealt up, Yeah, a tough hand here, Yeah for

852
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: for a number one Yeah, as.

853
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 2: Far he's been great, Yeah, And he's been dealt a

854
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 2: tough hand as far as winning the Rookie of the Year.

855
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: So if Jason Kidd as their head coach said D'Angel Russell,

856
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 2: you're the starting point guard and Cooper flag you're playing

857
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: off the ball a little bit more, that would have

858
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 2: just started his season way better then you can say

859
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 2: from the other side. But Jason Kidd put him in

860
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: these these fires to help him progress faster. In a

861
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: way in terms of year two and year three and

862
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: all that, and then's I guess there's some truth to that.

863
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: But as far as just watching this season, continental was

864
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: just a rock. And I'm a basketball geek, so I

865
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 2: watched the basketball. Conkor Nipple was a rock, and again

866
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: I think despite would you say, they're four to ten, fourteen,

867
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 2: twenty six, four and fourteen, excuse me, and fourteen and

868
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: twenty six, but.

869
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: He was fine by the way. I mean, his stats

870
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: right out of the game got and his efficiency right

871
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: out of the gate, We're good.

872
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 2: He was their best player. Yeah, he was the best place.

873
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 2: You know, I still think. I still think he's their

874
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 2: best player. I know LaMelo is awesome, and I know

875
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 2: LaMelo's awesome. I know Brandon Miller is awesome. And they

876
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: were not, you know, they just weren't holding their own

877
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: their responsibility to start this season. I give a lot

878
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: of that credit to their growth to Conka Nipple because

879
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: that guy was a rock in Summer League. He was

880
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 2: a rock, and he was he's been a rock all

881
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: season long.

882
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: Do you want a rock or do you want a diamond?

883
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: That's nice? That's nice, man, He kept saying. Rock. So

884
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: I kept thinking of it.

885
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: Go dig in for if you want to dig get

886
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: a diamond. Man, I get it. I get it. He's

887
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: gonna have a better career. He has been so awesome.

888
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: I think the defense is a little bit overblown, like, oh,

889
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: he's good defensively.

890
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: He's got room for improvement. I agree. Yeah, I was

891
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: going to say something, Oh, did you see LaMelo Ball.

892
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm stepping on any worst of the

893
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: week toad's here, but Konka Nipple set the record, the

894
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 1: rookie record for three pointers made in a season, which

895
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: which is amazing. I mean, that's something right there. And

896
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: so they you know, he comes into the locker room

897
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: and all the guys hit him with the water bottle,

898
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: right the classic water bottles, just soak the guy, LaMelo ball.

899
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: Did you see this? He picked up the mop bucket.

900
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: He picked up the mop bucket, ran over and tried

901
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: to dump it and did sort of successfully dump it

902
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: on Konka Nipple.

903
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 2: Weird.

904
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: Weird, Yeah, don't do that. Yeah, it's really gross. And

905
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: it gets heavy too, and it's like it almost sort

906
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: of almost clocks Canipple like it's like it also always

907
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: like if you told me. Somebody did that, I'd be like,

908
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, guess who did that? Probably LaMelo. Yeah,

909
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: I'd be on the short list.

910
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,240
Speaker 2: Now is it clean water in that bucket?

911
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 1: Oh? No, I couldn't tell them.

912
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: You can't tell. But maybe the maybe maybe the employee

913
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 2: who's doing that is cleaning it afterwards, so they're just prepared,

914
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 2: like to soak up all that crap.

915
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: Maybe, but there's a lot of water in there. There's

916
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: a ton. It went everywhere. You could hear somebody go

917
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: watch your clothes, like because all their locker rooms are

918
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: right there. Like the bucket. I'm talking about the giant

919
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: yellow mop bucket you see in schools and stuff. Watch. Yeah,

920
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: it looked dirty to me, but uh, fascinating.

921
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: It must have been the the equipment manager, I mean,

922
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: the person who washes all the jerseys like it was not.

923
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 2: It was not a play player who's concerned about somebody

924
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 2: else drying and cleaning and drying.

925
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: No, I thought the play I thought it was a

926
00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: player yelling about their their own clothes, like not the jerseys.

927
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, like watch my cool jeans, man, you're gonna

928
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: get mop water all of them anyway. Wild stuff, all right,

929
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: most most Improved Player odds. We got some more names

930
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: on this board down to four. I was a little

931
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: shocked that Nikill Alexander Walker is the odds on favorite

932
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: minus fifteen hundred. Then Jalen Duran plus thirteen hundred, Avdia

933
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: plus seventy five hundred, and Jalen Johnson long long shot

934
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: at plus seventeen thousand, five hundred. So Nikil Alexander Walker tasty.

935
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he has more than doubled his previous career

936
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,919
Speaker 1: scoring average of eight and a half points per game

937
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: by dropping nearly twenty one points per game now for

938
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: the Hawks, and he's doing it on an excellent sixty

939
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 1: one percent true shooting percentage. He's also the second best

940
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: player on this Hawks team, right, I mean, it's Jalen Johnson,

941
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: but I think it's not after him. But were you

942
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: shocked by it looking like he's gonna win this thing

943
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: sort of in a runaway?

944
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? For sure. I know a lot of these odds

945
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: are just sort of dependent on timing. A recency bias

946
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: is a part of it, of course, because Nikaile Alexander

947
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: Walker has been kicking ass. And this was Danny Avdia's

948
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 2: award for I don't know the first half of the season.

949
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there was a stretch where maybe Jillen

950
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: Johnson had it. Yeah, Avdya had it, Jayalen Duran I

951
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: think had it. But you're right this last I don't

952
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: call it four or five weeks here. It's nos.

953
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, to lose, but it isn't just because of recency bias.

954
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: It is because of those stats that you threw out there.

955
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if Aunci Salle, who runs the Hawks

956
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 2: front office, saw this coming from the Kayle Alexander Walker

957
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,760
Speaker 2: when he signed him to a ridiculously good deal four years,

958
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 2: sixty two million. So he's making that is a steal

959
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: fifteen and a half per year. Would you expect twenty

960
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 2: two on really good percentages from almost everywhere?

961
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's on fire from three takes a lot. He's

962
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: still a good defender.

963
00:46:59,400 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

964
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: No, this is shocking. So even people that were high

965
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: on Nikill Elexander Walker, especially as we saw in the postseason,

966
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: which I thought he showed something right, yeah, which they

967
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: obviously saw, and then the Wolves got squeezed from you know, financially,

968
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: so it's like he had to go. But I don't

969
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: think anybody had him scoring twenty one twenty two at night.

970
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: No to go to go from nine to twenty one. Yeah,

971
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: I was looking at Jalon Johnson's number, so I hesitated

972
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: to say his percentages are ridiculously good because I saw

973
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 2: three point percentage. But when you watch the games, the

974
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: guy is three point percentage is ridiculously hot. He's so

975
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: good at coming off catching shoots. He's not just hey,

976
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 2: I'm bringing the ball up and I'm firing Quinn Snyder

977
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: has him bought into moving off the ball, getting it

978
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: to Jalen Johnson in his hands. And so, yeah, I

979
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 2: thought Jalen Johnson, considering he's played seventy one games, I

980
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 2: was hesitant to anoint him the guy for the Hawks

981
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 2: because he has been injured in years past the last

982
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: two years. So that was part of why I thought

983
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson would take it over. Ye I was in

984
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 2: a walker. I thought Jallen Durham's growth would be enough.

985
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 2: I thought Denny Abdia, but obvivious growth has been hampered

986
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: because of injury. That's that's really what it comes down

987
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: to with Denny. If Danny would play the entire year,

988
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 2: I think Danny would win this thing.

989
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: But Uh, you know, good timing on Nikkilker. You're right.

990
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: If he had done this in the first six weeks

991
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: instead of the last six weeks, I wonder, I wonder

992
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: would still be the favorite. But uh, do you know

993
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: the last guy to go from single digits points per

994
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: game to double or plus twenty I should say, like

995
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: that ten plus increase to do it just from one year,

996
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 1: from one year the.

997
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 2: Next nothing he won Most Improved to Aaron Brooks.

998
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: Nope, good guess, but uh, he plays alongside Nickkill Alexander Walker.

999
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: No, not that Dana's he plays Sig McCollum. Yeah.

1000
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: I think back in fifteen sixteen or something like that

1001
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: when he won it and had that huge bump, and

1002
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: like that's another part of this like narrative. I guess

1003
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: around Nikhil Alexander Walker and his MIP chances. It's like,

1004
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean they traded away Tree Young. They were like, no,

1005
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: we're good, We're okay with him running the show here,

1006
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: and we'll make the trade for McCallum and kiss Pert.

1007
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, pretty well, two cousins are going to win

1008
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: awards here in all likelihood, the Alexanders six Man of

1009
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: the Year. We got a lot of names, still a

1010
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: lot of names to actual bet On On fan duel.

1011
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: Keldon Johnson, though, is the favorite minus nine hundred. Hi

1012
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: May Hawk's junior is next plus sixty excuse me, six hundred, Yeah,

1013
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty, six hundred and fifty is what

1014
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. And then Nasrid Read Shepherd, Tim

1015
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: Hardaway Junior, AJ Mitchell, and Beef stew Way down there

1016
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: they have their long shots. It's probably between Keldon Johnson

1017
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: and Hi May Hawkes junior. Who would you go with?

1018
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: And is there anyone else you are surprised not maybe

1019
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: see on that list?

1020
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a two player race here. Concerning the odds,

1021
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: go from the plus six to fifty of hawkas to

1022
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: plus ten thousand of Nasreen and the rest of them. Listen,

1023
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 2: I think this is Tim Hardaway's best season of his career.

1024
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: I think he's been awesome. So I don't think he's

1025
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 2: been awesome. He has been awesome, and the numbers prove it.

1026
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: And we all say, oh, Jokic goes to the bench,

1027
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: they stink. Well, guys like Tim Hardaway has helped that.

1028
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 2: But we're talking about the six man and the six

1029
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 2: man Award. I wouldn't give it to Kelvin Johnson. I wouldn't.

1030
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 2: I would give it to himI Hawkis. I think because

1031
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: he's I know he's young and he's only near three,

1032
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 2: but we all wondered is he going to be able

1033
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 2: to start and be a three point shooter. Well, he's

1034
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 2: gone to the bench and he's totally changed his role

1035
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 2: and what he is. He just pushes that ball for Spolstra.

1036
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: He just creates fast break opportunities and that's part of

1037
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: the story. I think there's a better story with Jimi Hawks.

1038
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: He's just gotten the best out of what he can do.

1039
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: Talking about point jumps, Hackeys has a good one from

1040
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 2: eight point six last year to fifteen point one this year.

1041
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 2: I think that's far sexier a story. Sorry I'm using

1042
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 2: the word sexy again. It's a better improvement. It's a

1043
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: better storyline than Keldon Johnson, who's been fine. But why

1044
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 2: is Kelvin Johnson the clear favorite? I don't really get it.

1045
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 2: Because the Spurs are good. It doesn't usually have anything

1046
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: to do with being good.

1047
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I seen some people wonder is Keldon Johnson even

1048
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: the best player on the Spurs roster coming off the bench,

1049
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: Dylan Dylan Harper's Oh, I mean damn good. Kelton's played

1050
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: a role and like is and I think like even

1051
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: the leadership value he brings to that team, I get

1052
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: that on a per game, on a per game basis,

1053
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,479
Speaker 1: Hawkes's case is pretty strong, though. Fifteen point one points

1054
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: per game leads all reserves by a decent margin. Four

1055
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 1: point six assists that's second, five point one boards that's sixth,

1056
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: and basketball poet she wrote the heat rely on hawkez

1057
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 1: more than any other team relies upon their top preserve,

1058
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: and he plays more minutes per game than many starters.

1059
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: So I don't love that the heat of like completely

1060
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: just falling apart here at the end. I feel like

1061
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: this is maybe a no brainer if they're flirting with

1062
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: the sixth seed or something like that, but they've just

1063
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 1: let go of the rope here and they can't stop anyone,

1064
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 1: so it makes it a little less like, I don't know, sexy.

1065
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why Kelden is the favorite, winning sixty

1066
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: plus games and him playing almost like a team award, Like,

1067
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: all right, Kelden, you're the representative of a very good

1068
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: Spurs bench. Maybe I mean, I'm not gonna be upset

1069
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: if he wins it, and I think he I don't know. Actually,

1070
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: this one I think is gonna be close between these

1071
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: two in the votes.

1072
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 2: He could be leading the odds just because there are

1073
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: more bets on him specifically because he is it is

1074
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 2: kind of a team award as well. He represents their

1075
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: bench and he is that emotional leader of that second unit.

1076
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 2: He's been there so long with the San Antonio Spurs Sola,

1077
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 2: so he Yeah, I think there's there is a storyline

1078
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 2: there too. I reduce it to say it's not as

1079
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: good a storyline as Hima Hawkins, but it's a different

1080
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 2: type of story than Hima Hawkins, who has just grown

1081
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 2: immediately here in year three. While Kelvin Johnson, Yeah, there's

1082
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 2: there's a little more to that and what he is.

1083
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: I can't believe how long he's been there. It just

1084
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like he's been there for seven seasons because

1085
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: he has gone through some some his numbers would technically

1086
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 2: have dropped, you know, because he used to be a

1087
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 2: starter if you look at it that way. But he's

1088
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 2: been great.

1089
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: You got a story, I got a story. We all

1090
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:38,800
Speaker 1: got a story.

1091
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Yeah, we all do.

1092
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: Final award here. Coach of the Year. Bickerstaff is the

1093
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: favorite minus two sixty, Joe Missoula, he doesn't want this award,

1094
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: don't give it to him, plus two twenty. And then

1095
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: Mitch Johnson of the Spurs, Charles Lee of the Hornets,

1096
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:01,439
Speaker 1: and Quinn Snyder of the Hawks round out the list there.

1097
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: Mitch Johnson may be within striking distance, but looking like

1098
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: a Bickerstaff or Missoula for Coach of the Year, an

1099
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: award where expectations seem to matter, right, That's a big

1100
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: part of the Missoula factor. It's like, oh, a lot

1101
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: of people thought gap year, they're going to be flirting

1102
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: with the play in and all that. Instead they're the

1103
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: number two seed in the East. But the Pistons ran

1104
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: away with the East and didn't miss a beat when

1105
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: Caid was gone. And I think that to me cemented

1106
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: Bickerstaff being deserving of this award.

1107
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're over under was forty six and a half

1108
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: to start the season, so there was some expectations that

1109
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: they had to win forty six forty seven games, but

1110
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 2: they smashed them. Yeah, they could win sixty games. They're

1111
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 2: fifty eight and twenty two, and so I understand why

1112
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 2: he's on the top. Yeah, this is a it's a

1113
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 2: storyline award, and Joe Mizzula does not want to be

1114
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 2: part of the story. As you said, he does not

1115
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 2: want to win it. Quite often the team fires their

1116
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: coach who wins it. Because they do, they don't produce

1117
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 2: the following year. We've seen it happened before, So yeah,

1118
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 2: that would be the story if the Pistons flame out

1119
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: in the postseason and Jamie Bickerstaff wins. But all all

1120
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 2: signs lead to them being really, really good in the playoffs,

1121
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 2: So I've got no problem him with him winning. I

1122
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 2: think Jordan Ought of the Phoenix Suns should absolutely get

1123
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 2: plenty of votes.

1124
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, sort of shocking. He's not even like Quinn Snyder

1125
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 1: at plus fifty thousand, not that he's gonna win, but

1126
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: just to have his name there, that was a little odd.

1127
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: I guess people are betting on Quinn and that's why

1128
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 2: the numbers change and Jordan and the Suns have fallen

1129
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 2: off a little bit because mostly because of injury, I

1130
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 2: think Dylan Brooks being a big part of it, and

1131
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 2: so they haven't had their guys Mark Williams, so they're

1132
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 2: at forty four and thirty six. Now you know, on

1133
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:51,720
Speaker 2: pace to win forty five forty six wins, while earlier

1134
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 2: it was like they're gonna win fifty games. So they

1135
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 2: dropped off a little bit.

1136
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 1: I guess that's yeah, preseason expectations. Not many people will

1137
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: buy on the Suns.

1138
00:55:58,719 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.

1139
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people were more likely they

1140
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 1: picking the Suns to be one of the worst teams

1141
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: in the league than they were to be in the

1142
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: play in So I think I picked the under you

1143
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: and trade did. I was the loan guy to go

1144
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: over on the Suns, but it was a low line too.

1145
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 2: Thirty one and a half.

1146
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think bigger staff. You ultimately think jb

1147
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: gets it? Probably him or Miszoo, I guess, but yeah,

1148
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: probably Bick.

1149
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 2: I mean to beat the expectation of the number by

1150
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 2: over ten, that's a heck of an accomplishment for wins. Yes,

1151
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 2: he deserves it.

1152
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,120

Speaker 1: I don't think so.

1182
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: There was some talk about that.

1183
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: Let's get into worst of the week.

1184
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, the worst of the week. Should we

1185
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 2: start with the best of the week. Yeah, sure, Well

1186
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: I think there's some great stuff in baseball this past.

1187
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't care.

1188
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:15,479
Speaker 2: Okay, just one one thing while i'm while I'm one

1189
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: thing is deserving of conversation. Did you see Joe Adele.

1190
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 2: He's the La Angels outfielder. He robbed three home runs?

1191
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I did see that. I didn't know his name,

1192
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: but I did see. Yeah.

1193
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was incredible.

1194
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 1: And one game he robbed three home runs.

1195
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 2: It went over the wall to snag a ball that

1196
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 2: was going over the fence, and it was perfected by

1197
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: that third one because it was a low wall and

1198
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 2: when he went over the wall, he went over the

1199
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 2: wall and he got up holding it.

1200
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: That photo is badass.

1201
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, standing in the stand.

1202
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, people just looking at him.

1203
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. The play by play guys said, does

1204
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 2: that count because he literally flipped over the wall and

1205
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: caught it? But it does? It? Does it does?

1206
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: I guess it's the equivalent of like falling over the

1207
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: railing on a foul ball. Yeah, it's like, as long

1208
00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: as you catch it, it count's good.

1209
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mentioned earlier I was going to ask

1210
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: Vladimir Carrero something. I just wanted to ask him about

1211
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: the guy who got three home runs. Nothing to do

1212
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 2: with you, but that was spectacle. Hey.

1213
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: Remember once upon a time I told you, by way

1214
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: of my mom, by way of my grandpa, you got

1215
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: to go to a baseball game because you never know,

1216
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: or in every baseball game something unique happens. Yeah, well

1217
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: case in point.

1218
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 2: That was that was three home runs. Yeah. I was

1219
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 2: sitting there in the Dominican watching the Blue Jays. Unfortunately

1220
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 2: they lost. They lost to to the Dodgers a lot.

1221
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: I get it.

1222
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 1: Swim up bar looking good.

1223
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 2: No, no, somewhere it was indoors. But Yamamoto was on

1224
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: the on the bump on the mound for the Los

1225
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers. Yeah, last story, Yamamoto on the bump, and

1226
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 2: the person who worked at the resort just kept saying

1227
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 2: that three hundred million dollars just kept pointing out the screen,

1228
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 2: three hundred million dollars. Yamamoto was signed for like three

1229
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty MILLI million dollars. He just couldn't get

1230
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 2: over that a pitcher is making that much money, which

1231
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 2: is a lot of money, and that's why the Jay's lost.

1232
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 2: But that's not a question.

1233
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Man, give me a tip here. I

1234
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: know it's all inclusive resort, but don't be afraid to

1235
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 1: pull out a twenty and slip it my way.

1236
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so he was. He was saying that

1237
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: to somebody else, who then said, I was very confused.

1238
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 2: That person said, that's how much my my house is worth.

1239
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Your house is worth three hundred k. Maybe is what

1240
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 2: you meant three? I was confused, But he should be

1241
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: asking for a tip from a guy if his house

1242
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 2: is worth three hundred million dollars, that's for sure. Anyways,

1243
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't ask Viety about anything to do with what

1244
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 2: I what I saw in the Dominican, the Dodgers beating them.

1245
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 2: I was just asked about Joe Adell. Best of the week,

1246
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 2: but worst of the week three nominees. First one Dylan

1247
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: Brooks trash talking Kevin Durant. And there's a great camera

1248
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: angle was showing to you on YouTube from the stands.

1249
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: It was a fan filming it, so it's dead ball.

1250
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 2: It's in between plays Dylan Brooks talking trash to Kevin

1251
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 2: Durant and then play starts. Kevin Duran gets the ball

1252
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: and immediately drops Dylan Brooks so fast. It is so

1253
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 2: incredible to see him get the ball and Brooks he

1254
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 2: slips once he's able to stay on his feet and

1255
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: then gets dropped and then Tim Durant scores so good,

1256
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: so good. Shout out to Sydney La La on Twitter

1257
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 2: who is filming. Then that's a cool angle to see that.

1258
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 2: It's good work, yeah, because you see actually see the

1259
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: entire trash talk and you see him get dropped and

1260
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 2: scored on.

1261
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Did you see the Dylan Brooks stand off with Benny

1262
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: the Bull that clip going around, very very funny clip too.

1263
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: They're just like, yeah, Dylan brook says this weird thing

1264
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: where he just goes and looks at the other team

1265
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: and just sort of stares He's done it before. Yeah,

1266
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: and Benny did it. Yeah, Benny did it. And they

1267
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: just had a stare up and whoever was doing the

1268
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: camera work was killing it too. They were going back

1269
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth the stair off.

1270
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Very very funny. Okay, second nominee here, Yes, there's a

1271
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 2: history here. Cooper Flack and Kevin Malawatch of the Phoenix Suns.

1272
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 2: They played in Duke together. Okay, so Melowatch and Cooper

1273
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 2: Flag came into the league this year. This was the

1274
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 2: first time they got on the floor together. This past week.

1275
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: Apparently Cooper Flag said to Malowatch, I'm gonna dunk on you.

1276
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 2: Pregame said that, and then in a game he tried

1277
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 2: to dunk on it, but Malowatch got him. We got

1278
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 2: the video here he blocked it. Cool cool block another

1279
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: cool camera and then the stare down. Yeah. Yeah, he

1280
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 2: thought he was gonna get He thought if I thought

1281
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 2: he was gonna get him, he thought he was gonna

1282
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 2: get Mellowatch. Cama, Mellowatch got him. So that's pretty good.

1283
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 2: So that's the worst that week, get the best of

1284
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 2: the week. Really, it's the story is good, but it's good.

1285
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Need to be included. Those two dudes going at at once.

1286
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: Third nominee is just more funny. It's has to do

1287
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 2: with the ad at Taku Brose, not Jannis, nothing to

1288
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 2: do with Giannis. Yeah, there's some drama there obviously, but

1289
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 2: it is pretty funny that Thanasis and Alex who recently

1290
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,479
Speaker 2: played his first game. Are playing together, and he comes

1291
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: through with an incredible steal. Actually, and then he tries

1292
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 2: to go set up his brother. Wasn't a terrible pass?

1293
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 2: A horrible pass? He thought he was probably given a

1294
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 2: nice alleoop. Well, no, I shouldn't say that. He should

1295
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,919
Speaker 2: have given an out. Yeah, because they're on the break.

1296
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 2: It's a two on one. But he passed it way

1297
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 2: behind him and he kind of throws his hands up

1298
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 2: like he thought, Alex, I guess was going to shoot

1299
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 2: a three ball. All that to be said, Alex set

1300
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 2: up the Nasis for an aloop. Successful Oney's on the bench.

1301
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he love that. He's like, I want to be

1302
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: out there so bad playing with my brothers. Yeah, and

1303
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: they said they have said you're not you're not allowed.

1304
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Sounds like he's not playing here in the in the finale.

1305
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 2: It's yea. I understand. Yannis wants to show out. He

1306
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 2: wants the last sign of the last thing he does

1307
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee is to be playing through everything. He wants

1308
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: his legend to be known as the guy who would

1309
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 2: play through anything, every injury, to give it to those

1310
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 2: fans who gave everything to him. But I ain't gonna

1311
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 2: have and I understand it from the box side. Either way,

1312
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 2: it's hilarious that Alex det Tokopo playing and that terrible play.

1313
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: Although you know they had a good allup. It wasn't

1314
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 2: a great pass from Alex to Fanasis, but that was

1315
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 2: the one making its ways around.

1316
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen that pass.

1317
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that one wasn't wasn't as big. Maybe I'm

1318
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 2: part of the Greek algorithm, but it wasn't the one

1319
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 2: that was going around all that much. I'm really surprised

1320
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 2: by the lower third we're able to include. Fannasis had

1321
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 2: it to Koompo and Alex said to Coopo, it's a lot

1322
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 2: of letters. Yeah yeah, I always.

1323
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Saw you put that in there, and I left it.

1324
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 2: I always wonder when JD what JD can fill.

1325
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna tinker with it, but.

1326
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 2: I mean we had some long ones. We have three

1327
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 2: long ones. Dylan Brooks. Well, first of all, it says

1328
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 2: nominee one. Dylan Brooks trash talks KD. I went with

1329
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 2: Katie instead, immediately gets dropped. We had a whole Camon Mallawatch,

1330
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 2: Cooper Fly. All of them were long, but they.

1331
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Said I got it.

1332
01:04:58,200 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 2: How do we do it?

1333
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: I got one more potent worst of the week now

1334
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: many I don't know. It's a silly one too. Did

1335
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: you see the clip of the Pacers couple last night

1336
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: making the rounds having a passionate discussion slash argument, A

1337
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: very funny clip. They're arguing about something. But watch her

1338
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,439
Speaker 1: at the end here you can say, or I guess

1339
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: maybe we've clipped it where she says, that's you, that's you.

1340
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: What the fuck are you talking about? And he does

1341
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: a hilarious little oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you can literally

1342
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: she says that, no doubt that talking about cool Pacers gear. Yeah,

1343
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I did like that. Both both of their gearless good.

1344
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that was about referring. I

1345
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: got no clue, but it was pretty funny. Also that game,

1346
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: nineteen seconds into the fourth quarter of that PACER's Nets game,

1347
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: the referees realized, oh crap, we gave the ball to

1348
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: the wrong team to start the quarter. So they let

1349
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: the Nets play an entire possess at the start of

1350
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: the fourth like obviously inbound at the end bring it

1351
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: up and they ran a play and I think they

1352
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: shot a corner three and they missed it. And then

1353
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: a rebound happened and they're like, well, well, well hold on,

1354
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: hold on, oh crap, it was pacers ball.

1355
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 2: So they do that.

1356
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: I just restarted the fourth corner. They're like, here, you

1357
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: take it.

1358
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 2: That's a good way to do it.

1359
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, let's go check in on this couple arguing

1360
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: with each other. You guys, all right up there. Everybody's okay,

1361
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: but she is super mad.

1362
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 2: It was It wasn't like she was saying, hey, that's

1363
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 2: that's it, that's you like. It wasn't a kind comment

1364
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 2: like that could be you out there playing basketball.

1365
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to be judging or like ooh wanted

1366
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: a domestic or something like. Because you've seen couples that

1367
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: like are spicy with each other, you know, it might

1368
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: be the way they talk to each other.

1369
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 2: Well, she's spicy, he's not.

1370
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: Well, well his reactions to me are like, well I've

1371
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: heard this before, We've done this before, because he sort

1372
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: of seems to be like maybe a good point. Very funny.

1373

01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: a fascinating street.

1393
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 2: Wow you do?

1394
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: You got goats at the end. You have a new

1395
01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: character unlocked. I love her. Now. I drived by an

1396
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: older Chinese woman doing the most fascinating stretches on the

1397
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: hill over there, like in a weird spot on the road.

1398
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: I mean there's no sidewalks, I know, but she's getting

1399
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: her steps in. I get it, and she's doing a

1400
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 1: lot of like she's getting the blood flowing.

1401
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 2: But that's a new character.

1402
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:20,600
Speaker 1: She's brand new to me.

1403
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 3: Have you seen shirtless beard guy with the pit bull

1404
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,600
Speaker 3: walking around? No, I have it around, No, I have it.

1405
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 3: He loves his dog. Sometimes he's gardening as.

1406
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: Well, always shirtless. Now that the weather is.

1407
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 2: That it's too funny. Yeah, we could have done plenty

1408
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 2: of just worst of the week's lip reading. I think,

1409
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: like those two fans, I think you could have squeezed

1410
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 2: Doug Christian we talked about yesterday, because you can see

1411
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 2: him at one point and say something the word time out,

1412
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 2: like he's talking to his assistant coach afterwards, after that

1413
01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 2: whole drama, like a minute later, like I thought we

1414
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 2: had a time out, you could see him say that.

1415
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Investigated I know.

1416
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we said there was no chance that it was

1417
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,759
Speaker 2: going to just bad coaching. Yeah he did. Wasn't doing anything.

1418
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: You could argue the ultimate tank job is hiring Doug

1419
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Christie as your head coach all season. But you know,

1420
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: if he gets a if he gets an extension or

1421
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: a new contract, or he's coaching next year, then maybe

1422
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 1: we can investigate that.

1423
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 2: He's been very better these last couple of months. Instead, guys,

1424
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 2: the oldies.

1425
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 3: Ashes chiming in about the couple. The Pacers couple go

1426
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 3: on the lady says they were fine and that's just

1427
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 3: how they talk to each other.

1428
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: L O L from We know that for sure now

1429
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: that this is esh d M and slacks. So this

1430
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: is what I hypothesized. Lad just spicy.

1431
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was just you know, he's used to it

1432
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,160
Speaker 3: for sure. Oh yeah, yeah, this is a man.

1433
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: We have literally no clue what they're even arguing about.

1434
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 1: They could be argued with some others. Stupid a couple

1435
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: over there. Yeah yeah, good stuff.

1436

01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 2: into it. Yeah I didn't because it wasn't part of

1439
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,440
Speaker 2: the clip we're showing you here on YouTube. But he's

1440
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 2: going through some stuff. Yeah, let me list you some stuff. Yeah,

1441
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 2: and then then that's when she drops. I don't know,

1442
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 2: you could see her eye her eyes go left or right? What,

1443
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what the talking? Good stuff. That's great stuff.

01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: really grew. After watching our show on NBA TV and

1454
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: Still no, just kidding while having fun and a sense

1455
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 1: of humor. So youthful energy. Hey, I'll take it, thank you?

1456
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: Yh Yeah, yes, don't feel youthful this morning. I feel

1457
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: very sore from playing basketball last night. Yeah yeah, I

1458
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 1: even took Adville and it did nothing. Getting to that point. Okay,

1459
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Well boy goes to brandon Ingram score a season high

1460
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: thirty eight points to lead the Wraps over the Heat

1461
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: b I shot thirteen to twenty three from the field,

1462
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: ten of eleven at the line, seven boards, seven assists,

1463
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: one steal in thirty seven minutes. So really good game.

1464
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: They had those those Dino jerseys on. They had the

1465
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: whole Vince Carter Dino court too. I wonder if we

1466
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: see that in the postseason, maybe be fun. Can't remember

1467
01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: what they do or what the rules are around that courts? Yeah,

1468
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: like are you allowed to? I think you might be

1469
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: they should. It looks awesome.

1470
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 2: It does look awesome. Brandon Ingram the most points in

1471
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 2: Raptors history in the first season of his play, he

1472
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 2: beat more than Kawhi Leonard.

1473
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Who missed like twenty games. Yeah that was the regular season. Yeah,

1474
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: more than Oh that's fascinating though.

1475
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is surprising, good.

1476
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: Fact, good staff. You know who else, like, who else

1477
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: would he even be? Well, Vince, Mike James.

1478
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 2: Vincent is rookie or is it just people who've come

1479
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 2: over to like Carter?

1480
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, does it? Does it? Is it just in

1481
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: trade or is it like a potential rookie? Wow?

1482
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's probably a player who has not

1483
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 2: been drafted. Although you know, Vince was part of his

1484
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 2: first season was a lockout season anyways, so that played

1485
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 2: a factor.

1486
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: But he was traded to the Raptors on draft night.

1487
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good point. Yeah, that's It's a lot

1488
01:12:58,479 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 2: of loopholes out there.

1489
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: A lot of loop all right, before we go, it's

1490
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:05,680
Speaker 1: time for some rapid fire fun task has the questions

1491
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: also answering along with myself and.

1492
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 2: Jamie First one. There are a bunch of ladies at

1493
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 2: the Nuggets game rocking handlebar mustaches like they were Bruce Brown. Yeah,

1494
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 2: they got to meet him. They were pretty close to

1495
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 2: the bench and they're all sitting together. It's some nice moment.

1496
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 2: They took some photos and all that. So if someone

1497
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 2: was to impersonate you, like they were impersonating Bruce Brown

1498
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:34,959
Speaker 2: and his handlebar mustaches, what feature would they add? Skeets?

1499
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I've had a pretty similar haircut for a

1500
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 1: very long time, so I guess that would be an

1501
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: obvious answer. I don't know what you call my hair.

1502
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: I asked Nors Like. I was like, is my hair spiky?

1503
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:51,839
Speaker 1: He's like, no, used to be used to be spiky. Yeah,

1504
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 1: spikier than this. I've had this haircut for literally yeah,

1505
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: but I'm talking twenty years ago. Oh okay, he's gonna

1506
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: have a spiky more spiky. Yeah. But then she said

1507
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: it's fluffy, which I never thought of My hair was fluffy,

1508
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: So anyway, that could be one answer. But I also

1509
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: would go wearing purple book ones. I have worn these shoes.

1510
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: I'll pull one off. I've worn these shoes all year

1511
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: long on this show because they're comfy as hell. This

1512
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: is not an endorsement. Now look at how beat up

1513
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: they are. I don't know about you, but I this

1514
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 1: little part of the shoe goes on both sides from

1515
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: me went up.

1516
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 2: With that with the islet.

1517
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, or I don't know, like just that that top

1518
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: part there, like see it's it's on my other one too. Anyway,

1519
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: I bought another pair of these off eBay because these

1520
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: are going to quickly be the old outdoor shoes.

1521
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 2: Oh you're going to start to pull a move like

1522
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 2: your father in law where you kind of have like.

1523
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 1: The back off. Yeah no, because these just go on

1524
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 1: so easy. But I have never gotten more compliments on

1525
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: a shoe in my life than these. In Atlanta. It's weird.

1526
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: It's weird, but so many people comment on them and

1527
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 1: like those will comfy whatever. So I guess book ones

1528
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: or this this weird haircut. That's my answer. So you

1529
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: say they're you just call them purple, just a light purple,

1530
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: But you don't think that's purple. Yeah purple. These are dirty,

1531
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: by the way, these are filthy at this point. That's purple.

1532
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: Test I've got that's a light purple.

1533
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 2: I can't see.

1534
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean all right, my crazy.

1535
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 3: There is definitely a sort of a lilac tinge to

1536
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 3: the rest of them.

1537
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: If they're not purple, what are they silver? Like the

1538
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 1: actual SWUS shirt the swosh is definitely purple silver.

1539
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 2: I got bad ice. That's that's more than me, all right.

1540
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: JD. Greight joice. Honestly, they're super company. They're like skate shoes. Yeah,

1541
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,519

1545
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: He's got his two's now, you know.

1546
01:15:54,720 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, almost identical answer for me because my beard obviously big,

01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 3: big thank glasses and stuff, and I'm usually wearing a

1548
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 3: baseball cap. But what I get the most comments when

1549
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 3: I'm at the gym, like playing pickleball is my shoes

1550
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 3: and what Yeah, because I wear tatums and they're sort

01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,799
Speaker 3: of like whoa ice cream like cotton candy ice cream,

1552
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 3: And just I get more compliments about these shoes than

1553
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 3: any other anything at all. I mean, those are those

1554
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 3: they're pretty loud. I bought them because they were on sale, right,

1555
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 3: They're like a hundred bucks. So I was like, all right,

1556
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 3: I don't care what they look like, but I got

1557
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 3: a lot of compliments about on them.

1558
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 2: So people in the South here they like some flare

1559
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 2: on their shoes.

1560
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: I meant to tell both of you guys just in

1561
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: talking shoes. The other night at pick up hoops, someone

1562
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 1: was playing in Indians. WHOA no Way, I swear to god,

1563
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. I was like, what did you No,

1564
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: I didn't, but I was. I was sitting off and

1565
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, hold on any shoes before my God, So

1566
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah, I thought you. I thought you

1567
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 1: were wearing the Indians.

1568
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 3: When Spencer came through with the Idioms eleven size eleven, yeah,

1569
01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 3: I liked them.

1570
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 1: But they're very it takes a very long time to

1571
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: put them on.

1572
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:20,480
Speaker 2: That's all shout out to Spencer Jones is the Denver Nuggets.

1573
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 2: He wants to support your ankles. I'm still surprised. I

1574
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 2: haven't put them on yet, but they take so long.

1575
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just putting a couple of straps. I

1576
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 2: guess I wouldn't think that they would take so long

1577
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 2: because they are light. It's a light shoe.

1578
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Once they're on, they're very comfortable.

1579
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:40,759
Speaker 3: They if you have if you have any ankle issues

1580
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 3: at all, I would recommend.

1581
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 2: For me if I was to put something on that

1582
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: or have somebody impersonate me with something, I should say.

1583
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 2: I guess it would be a longer hair thing. I

1584
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 2: don't have long hair, but you know, I kind of

1585
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 2: grow it out. And the thing that people comment to

1586
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 2: me are like, well, you got wavy hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1587
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 2: So it would be funny if people put on like

1588
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 2: a longer version, you know, like a really like a

1589
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: wig almost, Like that would be super swoopy that you

1590
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 2: could put on and go whip somebody with, you know,

1591
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 2: like you had long hair. That would be awesome. That's

1592
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 2: a good move. Cool story, all right, next question. Here

1593
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 2: a photo of a ridiculous toilet which will show you

1594
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: here on YouTube it's.

1595
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: Also a horse.

1596
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 2: A toilet which is also a horse was making its

1597
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 2: way around the internet this week. So many questions. I mean,

1598
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 2: number one, how do you use it as a toilet?

1599
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: There's no tank.

1600
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 2: There's no tank, This is just ai.

1601
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 3: The hind quarters could be the tank, I suppose. Yeah,

1602
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 3: there's a isn't that lever at the bottom Now that.

1603
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,839
Speaker 2: Looks like a hose that looks like a bidet feature.

1604
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fascinating.

1605
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 2: It's it's some sort of hose. But it could yeah, yeah, yeah,

1606
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 2: you're right. It is probably somewhere you can. We don't

1607
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 2: see the other side, but it's I say, I asked

1608
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 2: how to use it as a toilet, because if you're

1609
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 2: a man standing.

1610
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: You're not standing unless you're standing to the side. This

1611
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: is guys, this is not a real toilet. There's no

1612
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: freaking way.

1613
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's no way. No, it's it's highly unlikely.

1614
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 1: Look at this way that is compared to the same.

1615
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 2: That part it's so low. Yeah, it's very unlikely. It's

1616
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,759
Speaker 2: very unlikely. It's funny, but like you said, the basin

1617
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,120
Speaker 2: could be the butt plush, you know, the side that

1618
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 2: we're seeing here. If you do, if you do go

1619
01:19:41,040 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 2: around to the other side, I think you can pee

1620
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 2: in it because it doesn't look like the hooves are

1621
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 2: that far out on the other side.

1622
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I tweeted, imagine Lee ellis doing the leapye

1623
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: and mountain this thing backwards at night like he's Dudley

1624
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,960
Speaker 1: do right, Dudley pooh right. I went with I don't

1625
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: think anybody got my reference, but dead they do right,

1626
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: used to ride the horse backwards? So anyway, Yeah.

1627
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 2: I mean the toilet seed is definitely fake like the

1628
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 2: one on the left, because there may be multiple toilet

1629
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 2: seats here. It's hard to tell. Like that's just a yeah,

1630
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:16,640
Speaker 2: it's a whatever. Anyways, what's another animal that needs to

1631
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 2: be part of a toilet skeets?

1632
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: Well, I would give you a real one. Maybe this

1633
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,879
Speaker 1: exists one like they could make. This is my point,

1634
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: men's bathroom at a restaurant or a bar. A hippo

1635
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 1: urinal okay, big hippo mouth, ok yeah, just as a

1636
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: urinal on the wall. Yeah. Look whatever looks sort of cool,

1637
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: like the mouth of a hippo wide open before they're

1638
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: going to chomp down on a watermelon. Is looks to

1639
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:50,759
Speaker 1: me like a perfect urinal. They're a little intimidating. It's intimidating, sure, sure.

1640
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 2: What it intimidates? You have like a ceramic it's not

1641
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 2: real JD.

1642
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 3: Looking at you in your eyes and about to chomp down.

1643
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 3: Be careful to take your bits out.

1644
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't see the eyes looking at you.

1645
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Hung like a watermelon.

1646
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes, I mean the eyes are on the side

1647
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 2: of the head. It's yeah. Anyways, I'm just surprised it wouldn't.

1648
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: Be you had a rainforest cafe. Yeah. I went in

1649
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: the other direction.

1650
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 3: I was inspired by this a definitely AI version of

1651
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,799
Speaker 3: the horse, So I just put in my own prompt

1652
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 3: and made it.

1653
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 1: A drag hole. That's even cooler me.

1654
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 3: Right, I don't It would be very uncomfortable because it's

1655
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 3: very spiky.

1656
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got you gotta sit and then put your

1657
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: legs to the side of the one you know, the

1658
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: one dragon leg.

1659
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't sit on this thing.

1660
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you could. You could be cool if the

1661
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: day was the mouth to get turned its head and yeah,

1662
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: you had to flush it. You have to say dr

1663
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: cars Yeah, yeah like that. Yeah, oh okay, yeah, I

1664
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: am one thousand convinced the last one was out. Yeah, yeah,

1665
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: I was.

1666
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 2: I looked at it more as something which could actually exist.

1667
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 2: If you ever see Emperor penguins, there's always the mommy

1668
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 2: or daddy penguin at the back and then the little

1669
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 2: baby penguin at the front, and so you could still

1670
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 2: have the mommy or daddy penguin at the back and

1671
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 2: then the little one would be the toilet. Essentially that

1672
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 2: that would be the part of the toilet sitting or standing.

1673
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,680
Speaker 2: It could be a jurnal, but it could also be

1674
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 2: a toilet. I think you can make both work.

1675
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: The mom or dad you're saying, would be the tank

1676
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: portion yea, yeah, the back part.

1677
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you have a you know, a standard tall jurnal,

1678
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 2: that parent emperor penguin would be the whole big urnal thing.

1679
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: This is one of the weirder questions we've really taken

1680
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 1: some time to break down. Tell did I think about it? Yeah, yeah,

1681
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 1: definitely a weird one. Yeah.

1682
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 2: I was swayed because I read a recent article about

1683
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 2: Emperor penguins being endangered on New York Times and the

1684
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 2: photo is the mommy standing behind the baby. It's hold

1685
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 2: on with penguins often? Is it the dad who stays

1686
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 2: with the penguin?

1687
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: I thought it was that right March of the Penguins Baby.

1688
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, I think so. Yeah, the mom's just out

1689
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 2: of it.

1690
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: The mom's got to go do everything. Yeah, I think.

1691
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 2: Stuff all right. Last question here not as weird as

1692
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 2: that last one. This one comes from No Dunk's fan,

1693
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 2: Lawrence Chung, longtime fan. He's sponsoring this one, and he's

1694
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 2: got a good reason to celebrate He's getting married this afternoon.

1695
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Congratulations Lawrence.

1696
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 2: No big ceremony, just the city hall signing, simple as that,

1697
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 2: No bells and whistles, just the paperwork. Here's question, what's

1698
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 2: something you could do without the pageantry for like weddings, graduations,

1699
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 2: adult birthday parties, skeets?

1700
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are all good suggestions, Lawrence is giving. But

1701
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: I'll go New Year's Eve? You know, am I my

1702
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: aging myself? I absolutely am. You know, young skeets love

1703
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, you know, white Lamborghinis and the such.

1704
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: But now it's just another night to me. Man. Have

1705
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: you slept through New Year's and you're like I have

1706
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 1: over the last couple. I guess it's just like, all right,

1707
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 1: let's go to bed at my normal time. It's okay. Uh.

1708
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, I don't do a lot of throw on

1709
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: a CNN see uh see us right, Yeah, like have

1710
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,600
Speaker 1: some high jinks, but for the most part. Once I

1711
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: see those people wearing a diaper in Times Square, knowing

1712
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:01,640
Speaker 1: they're shitting their pants all night, I can go to bed.

1713
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 2: Do you see the diapers?

1714
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's because they got to go in

1715
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: there to the pen at like whatever. Whatever. The gates

1716
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,679
Speaker 1: open at five or six, and apparently once you leave

1717
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: you cannot get back in, and there are no bathrooms

1718
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: or restrooms in there, so it's like, I mean, I

1719
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: like I could hold it, I guess for let's say

1720
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 1: eight hours. But some people fun apparently wear diapers.

1721
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would buy choice. I mean, I'd rather urinate

1722
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 2: than not.

1723
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: Is there a hippo urine all around here? It's so long? Yeah,

1724
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: so long? And why are you wild? Why are you

1725
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: standing there to be there? That's that's so funny. You

1726
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: brought up cold because I was thinking that, like it's

1727
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: like New Year's Eve for us in this hemisphere, it's

1728
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: like it's shitty weather. Yeah like that, you know, it'd

1729
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: be one thing. I think I'd be more in well

1730
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: in Australia to New Year's Eve if baby like now,

1731
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: it's awesome out. Let's party all day, let's barbecue. That

1732
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 1: makes sense? Yeah? Not here, right?

1733
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 3: So maybe not here in Atlanta it's not brutal cold,

1734
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 3: but still gets cold.

1735
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, JD.

1736
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 2: What's something you could do without the pageantry.

1737
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 3: For I mean, I'm about to go to my kids

1738
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:23,120
Speaker 3: high school graduation, which I'm not looking forward to, but

1739
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 3: there is an appropriate amount of it's kind of a

1740
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 3: big deal. You know, you're graduating high school, you're sort

1741
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:33,480
Speaker 3: of becoming an adult. But it's the elementary school graduations

1742
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 3: that they just have to go period, like they just

1743
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 3: and they happen in the middle of the day as well. Yeah,

1744
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 3: so there's a lot of pressure for people to take

1745
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 3: off work to go graduate from fucking grade six or

1746
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 3: you know.

1747
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: I went to one recently, Right, it's very weird.

1748
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 3: It's yeah, and they put a lot of there's a

1749
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,680
Speaker 3: lot of stuff like here in the US they have

1750
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 3: the chords. Now, they don't do this at the elementary level,

1751
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 3: but the high school level, like you can get a

1752
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 3: they have to list every single honor that they have.

1753
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 3: Some of them are just like one of it is

1754
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 3: just for registering to vote. It's like, okay, good for

1755
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 3: you for registering to vote. But I don't need that

1756
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 3: as part of the list of accomplishments. I mean, it's

1757
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 3: just that's just that. Yeah, Anyway, I wonder if that's

1758
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 3: new ish.

1759
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,479
Speaker 1: I think they might be. But when is your when's

1760
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: your graduation?

1761
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 3: It's coming up May twenty second or something like that.

1762
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, end of May.

1763
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:36,599
Speaker 2: A lot of graduations out there indeed. Yeah, what about

1764
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,759
Speaker 2: a preschool graduation exists?

1765
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: Dude, get it?

1766
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 2: Those exists. Yeah, they're freaking elaborate. Yeah for preschool. Yeah yeah, yeah.

1767
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 2: My arms were getting tired. I was like, oh I

1768
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,759
Speaker 2: can film this. Oh I didn't know I'd be filming

1769
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 2: for oh my god, literally an hour.

1770
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah put that on sticks, man, Yeah.

1771
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,679
Speaker 2: You know, cried it was worth it. Oh wow.

1772
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 3: Okay, the preschool one is the most emotional one.

1773
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's actually it's the middle of the grade

1774
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: school one.

1775
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 2: What are doing? Yeah, yeah, you're like a human wearing

1776
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 2: a robe. You know, you're a year old and you

1777
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 2: get a weird graduation hat depending on the school. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

1778
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 2: they're all grown up for me. Uh, milestone birthdays. I

1779
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 2: know people say twenty big deal, or thirty or forty,

1780
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 2: but uh, just if you put less emphasis on the

1781
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 2: round numbers, maybe you put a little more emphasis annually

1782
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 2: on the other ones where you do a little more,

1783
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 2: there's more creativity, there's more effort into those. I mean,

1784
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:50,719
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to find a reason why the milestone

1785
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 2: ones aren't because I am getting older to man, and

1786
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 2: when it comes to when you're a forty doesn't matter

1787
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 2: I remember my fortieth wasn't anything all that much, which

1788
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 2: was fine, But really it's hard to decipher between a

1789
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 2: forty and a thirty nine, or a forty one or

1790
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:07,839
Speaker 2: a forty twur But I know people for their fortieth

1791
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 2: day like we're or something to that effect. But every

1842
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,600
Speaker 1: not every game matters, so you get to pick or

1843
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:46,680

Speaker 1: I'm getting at. Yeah, right till then, Clipper Bros.

1847
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 3: You heard it here first, have a great time, turn up,

1848

Speaker 3: love you guys awesome.

1849
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us, and remember Brandon Ingram of the

1850
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors now has the most points in the first

1851
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:11,440
Speaker 2: season with the Toronto Raptors. I'm still having difficulty believing

1852
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:16,799
Speaker 2: that it's not just players acquired because it's being listed

1853
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 2: as most points in the first season with the Raptors. Okay,

1854
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 2: regardless of being drafted either way, don't don't look Carter.

1855
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:25,639
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, goods.

1856
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 2: Carter didn't do it.

1857
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 1: No, I know. And he only played fifty games because

1858
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: it was a shortened season.

1859
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yea, yeah, but what about it like a Damon

1860
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,439
Speaker 2: Stottamyer in ninety five ninety six, he scored a lot

1861
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 2: of points.

1862
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:37,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it averaged twenty Yeah, exactly, Well, I averages more

1863
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 1: than yeah, he does.

1864
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, maybe it's true because he passed Kawhi. But

1865
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 2: who was the leader? That's what That's why I don't

1866
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,120
Speaker 2: want you to look who was the Raptor with the

1867
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:47,679
Speaker 2: most points in his first season?

1868
01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 1: So I assume it wasn't Damon Stodamayer.

1869
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 2: No, okay, That's why I'm asking.

1870
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: Can I get it?

1871
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm asking because it's incredible.

1872
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,640
Speaker 1: It's incredible. It's not Andreo Barnianti.

1873
01:32:59,360 --> 01:33:01,559
Speaker 2: No, I know. I mean it sort of makes sense.

1874
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Not Bosh. It's not Lowry, it's not Kawhi.

1875
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:06,280
Speaker 2: It's not DeRos no, I guess it makes sense. It's

1876
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:10,960
Speaker 2: somebody who was acquired huh, acquired Rudy Game. I mean

1877
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 2: it could have been a free agent good could guess

1878
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 2: you gotta go deep, Mike James. Mike James, I said,

1879
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 2: I said that earlier early in the show.

1880
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:20,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, sort of jokingly.

1881
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1882
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 2: Sixty. He had the most points in his first season

1883
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 2: with the Raptors, more than Kawhi.

1884
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean the average over twenty. Yeah, you did,

1885
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Amityville horror, Mike James, Mike Names. Everybody embraced the weekend,

1886
