45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: We'll give you possibly a tight hour, maybe a sloppy

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: ninety minutes, you never.

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: Know, anywhere between sixty and ninety night to sloppy. Yes, okay,

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 4: let's you got tickets. Yeah, they got tickets. I see

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: a task here wearing a Skyhawks basketball t shirt. We

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: partnered with the Skyhawks a couple of weeks ago when

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: we did sideline reporting. We just heard from our people

52
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: over there that the No Dunks community downloaded or downloaded

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 4: donated seventy tickets hey to the Skyhawks and kids who

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: will be able to go to a game. I'm guessing

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 4: probably next season. They don't have any home games left

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: this year. Very cool and thank you all very much.

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: Awesome, thanks to everybody that donated to send some kids

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: to some G league games. All right, let's get into

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: the NBA action. We'll play a little is this news

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: later we'll have tweeted a night and all that, but

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: holy crap, the NBA was sort of drunk last night.

62
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: There were some wild things going on. We'll start with

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: the Mavericks falling to the Warriors one twenty seven five

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: in a game that pushed Dallas into the number nine seed,

65
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: tied with the Lakers. But here's the big headline from

66
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: this game. Mark Cuban and the MAVs will file a

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: protest of the lost of the loss after what the

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: team believes to be an officiating error late in the

69
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: third quarter when confusion happened. And we'll roll the clip

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: right here about which team had possession of the ball. Okay,

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: so if you're joining us on YouTube, we're seeing it here.

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: It was strange. Okay, that looks like the visual said

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: Warriors ball. But then we had a mandatory Mavericks timeout.

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: But coming out of that timeout, there are no Mavericks

75
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: around the Warriors players, so they just inbound the ball

76
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: and scoring easy two points looney dunk, and that led

77
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: to Cuban being frustrated, and again the fallout being that

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: by all accounts, Cuban and the MAVs are going to

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: file a protest to this loss.

80
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: They can file it if they want.

81
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's like a closer look. So task, I mean,

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: what do you think is this referee? Is this a

83
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: pointless protest?

84
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely a pointless protest. We can get to the

85
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 3: specifics of the referee, his hand signals. But the first

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: thing you got to start with is the MAVs fell asleep.

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: They had plenty of time to figure this out, because

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: I went and looked at every single broadcast, every single angle,

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: because when you get a controversy like this in March,

90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: you gotta check it out. I went to the Warriors broadcast.

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: The ball was beside Jordan Poole before they inbounded it

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: for fifteen seconds. The referee was holding it, just holding it.

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: The MAVs are on the other side of the floor.

94
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: Five MAVs on the other side of the Colore's fifteen

95
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: seconds there for them to figure out. If they thought

96
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: it was their ball, why isn't there a guy inbounding

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: it or a guy waiting for the inbound It takes

98
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 3: two to inbound and there's five guys on the other

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: side of the floor. We have this clip where it's

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: Jordan Poole just chillin' with the referee. They're just hanging out.

101
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: Pool starts talking about a foul call. Yes, so there's

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: a foul call. Then he looks up on the floor.

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: This is like ten seconds other conversation. It's like it's

104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: our ball, right, Yeah, it's right here, it's right here.

105
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: It's our bubble right, well, okay, give it to me.

106
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: The MAVs are sleeping. They are absolutely asleep on the

107
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: other side of the floor. So Mark Cuban has to

108
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: come up in his three quarter baseball shirt. It's better then,

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: it's better than the football shirts they used to produce better,

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: So it's an improvement. I'll give them. I'll give Cubes that.

111
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: But he can't defend it. Jason Kid is sleeping. Why

112
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: isn't there somebody on the bench saying, look on the

113
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: other side of the floor. They can't be complaining about this.

114
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: They can't. Yeah, and I understand. We'll get to the

115
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: hand signals. It was confusing. I'll give him that.

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: You mean the hand signals being okay, Warriors ball and

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: then sort of right away time out Mavericks. So it

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: appears like it's like, oh, actually, hold on, it's Mavericks ball.

119
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. It looks like he turns around and signals the

120
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: other way, like it's the other direction from Warriors ball

121
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: to mass ball. It should be Warriors ball. Break point

122
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 3: to the bench. It's a timeout for that team. There

123
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: should have been more of a delay if I'm in

124
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: referee school, that's what he should be doing.

125
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: Well.

126
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: You even see Looney when the official does say Warriors

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: ball and then does the timeout. Looney thinks, hold on,

128
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: did you just change the call. There's no way that's

129
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: not our ball. You see him like, yes, you know,

130
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: say that to the referee, and I assume the ref

131
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: goes no, no, it's your ball. It's a timeout. To

132
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: the MAVs, Yeah, well it's your take on this. TK.

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: The refs got it right, no doubt about it. I

134
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: guess from the MAVs perspective, there was one referee on

135
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: the other side of the court alongside their five guys,

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: even though the ball was going to be unbounded on

137
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: the complete other side of the court. I agree, a

138
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 4: little too fast from the out of bounds to the

139
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 4: timeout or the arm signals. So I think they got

140
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: the calls right. I don't think the protest is gonna

141
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 4: go through, but I do kind of agree with the

142
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: Mavericks just there should have been better communication. Fine, Oh,

143
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 4: like the guy the ref who's talking to Jordan Poole,

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: why doesn't he just say, hey, we're not here. Yeah

145
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: he could Yeah, yeah, they could have all talked to

146
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: each other. Would have been very easy to figure out

147
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: if they would have taken the thirty seconds to figure out.

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 4: But the Warriors have no reason to want to do that.

149
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: The referees are probably like, it's not our job to

150
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: tell you right side of the court to be on.

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: Listen to us, not your pa announcer.

152
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wonder if Pool is being smart and distracting

153
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: the referee. He's talking about some foul call, he's signaling

154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: to his elbow, he's he's probably just talking about it.

155
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: But it worked out well because if there's no communication

156
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: between Pool and the referee, maybe there's more communication between

157
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: the referee and the other referees or the five basketball

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: players on the other side. And you could see, literally

159
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: they're over there for a long time. The MAVs are

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: on that other side for a long time. Again, they

161
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: have to inbound the ball and receive the inbound but

162
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: no one is close to that ball. Yeah right, No

163
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: one is disputing where the ball was inbounded and the MAVs,

164
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: MAVs five are literally fifty to eighty feet away from

165
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: the ball that they should have been Inbounding technicalities and

166
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: all that. I think they realized that it was confusing

167
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: because the next play that when the MAVs did get

168
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: the ball after the Warrior scored, MAVs had a makeup call.

169
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: I mean they got they literally had four shots at

170
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: the at the rim and Josh Green ran over a Warrior,

171
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: and I think they just let it go again, right,

172
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: we screwed it up. I didn't. We didn't think Cuban

173
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: was gonna come up here after this makeup call that

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: they allowed. I think they kind of let that one go. Anyways,

175
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: it was a weird play too, because Looney did get

176
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: dragged or Looney dragged down Luca, and that's why the

177
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: Maps were upset. They thought maybe they're giving us the

178
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: ball because there was this non call where sometimes happens. Anyways,

179
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: a lot of confusing words. I just said there because

180
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: it is confusing. The whole thing was confusing everybody on

181
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: the card. So Jeff skin Wade said, my brain is

182
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 3: hemorrhaging trying to think of what happened here, like to

183
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: really figure out.

184
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: So Cuban tweeted during the timeout, the official changed the

185
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 2: call and never told us. He's pretty adamant about that.

186
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: Then when they saw us line up as if it

187
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: were our ball, he just gave the ball to the Warriors,

188
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: never said a word to us. So this goes back

189
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: to what you're saying, Trey. This could have all been

190
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: avoided if the officials had said at some point during

191
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: the timeout that actually occurred, Hey guys, it is their ball,

192
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: it's going to be down here. It's you know, maybe

193
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: we heard it on the announcer say it was your ball.

194
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: It's not. I thought that too. It's like, yeah, maybe

195
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: the officials should have done that. I guess they could have.

196
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: But then I caught myself. It's like, that's what we

197
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: do when we're coaching like eight year olds playing and

198
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: they screw up which way they're going all the time,

199
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: and we're always yelling, no, that's our basket, No, it's

200
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: your ball, you're inmounting. These are professional basketball players with

201
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: a million assistant coaches.

202
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 4: Totally, it's like not really the.

203
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 2: Official's job at that level to do it. It is

204
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: when you're coaching eight year olds or refereeing eight year olds,

205
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: not grown men that get paid millions of dollars to

206
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: do this. So then I'm like, no, just watched this one.

207
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: It's definitely a little bit on Jason kNN and the

208
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: coaching staff from the MAVs, like they could have raised

209
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: the stink as it was happening. Surely they're in their

210
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 4: huddle calling a play on the wrong side of the court,

211
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 4: but there were better ways to handle it rather than

212
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 4: just waiting and not knowing what was happening.

213
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe the explanation is the MAVs just went to

214
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: the wrong side of the floor. Maybe they just forgot,

215
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: That's what it almost looks like. Yeah, they thought they

216
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 3: were playing offense in front of their bench instead of

217
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: on the other side. Yeah.

218
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: So again, I don't think Cuban's officially done it yet

219
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: filed the protest. I guess he has a forty eight

220
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: hour window or they got to get the evidence and

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: like submit it. They got to give a ten thousand

222
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: dollars check to also do all the processing fees, which

223
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: you get back if you successfully land the protest. But

224
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: we're not gonna get like a successful protest here. We

225
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: haven't in a very long time. December two thousand and

226
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: seven is the last time Heat versus Hawks. This is

227
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: just a fun one to take a trip down memory lane.

228
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: Shaq was incorrectly rule to have six fouls when he

229
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: only had five, So we fouled out of that game.

230
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: But then they protested that heat did and they're like,

231
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 2: oh damn, he only did have five and we took

232
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: him out. So the game was resumed on March eighth,

233
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, same season. Right happens in O seven.

234
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: They resumed the game in eight, but no one scored

235
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: in the fifty one point nine seconds that were played

236
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: from overtime. The Hawks continue to win. They won one, fourteen,

237
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: one eleven. Best part, Shack didn't even play in the

238
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: game because he had been traded to the Sun before

239
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: the game was resumed there before they traded. So yeah,

240
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: that's O seven. There have been some successful protests like

241
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: that one where they had to replay things, but it's

242
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: been a very long time and this will not be replayed.

243
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: It was a close game. That's what Cuban saying. Hey,

244
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: every two points matters, every win matters here, but no,

245
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: not gonna get this one. Mark, save your ten thousand

246
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 2: dollars with your processing feet.

247
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: I actually like the way they handle it. You have

248
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: to pay for it, but if you're right, you get

249
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: it back. I know they should do coaches challenges.

250
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: You got to give him an puts.

251
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 4: They make it more expensive, make it prohibitively expensive to

252
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: actually do the challenge. But if you're right, you get

253
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: your money back.

254
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: I'm with you. That's what they did in the World

255
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic. You have one challenge, but if you get

256
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: it correct, you can keep using it. You can get it

257
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: back or use it or lose it. I think that

258
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: they should protest their defense.

259
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: Really. Yeah, let's talk about the game a little bit here.

260
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, Warriors had twelve dunks in this game. There's a

261
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: lot of dunks season high for them. They got to

262
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: the rim a lot, and you could even protest Draymond

263
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 3: Green sort of screening off Reggie Bullock at the last

264
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: possession there for Curry to go up to the rim

265
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: and seal it. You can protest that if you want,

266
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: because Draymon Green did a good job of holding off

267
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: Reggie Block. But they just weren't fighting when it comes

268
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: down to they weren't fighting enough. And Luca obviously looked

269
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: tired and on that play when Curry got to the

270
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: rim and they used all twenty four seconds of the

271
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: shot clock, he was gassed.

272
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: He just kind of he didn't do chill anything on it.

273
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: In fact, he was protesting during the play. The foul

274
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: should have been called on Draymond instead of rot helping.

275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: Not enough for that, that's the problem.

276
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: And looks like Luca will probably get slapped with a

277
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: fine today at some point too, maybe today or tomorrow

278
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: for gesturing to the officials a little moolah signal that

279
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: maybe you've been paid off here because he was upset

280
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: he didn't get a call at the end of this game.

281
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot of contact. I thought on

282
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 4: that layup, kind of fumbled the pass a little bit,

283
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 4: gave Raymond a chance to rotate and can test the shot.

284
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: But this was like a playoff basketball game, so they

285
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 4: didn't call the file there. But I think we'll be

286
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 4: seeing the Luca money symbol quite a bit because, like

287
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 4: you're sayings, Skets, this is going to end up being

288
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: a very expensive game for the Dallas Mavericks. There's already

289
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 4: ten thousand down. How much is Luca going to get fined?

290
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: Because you can't be you can't be doing the money symbol.

291
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 4: But obviously the MAVs were on til with regards to

292
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: the referees in the fourth quarter after the way things

293
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 4: ended in the third quarter, and there was a lot

294
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 4: of contact, I thought in general in the fourth here,

295
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 4: Like you mentioned, Raymond was awesome in this game. He

296
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: made so many clutch defensive plays, but he was also

297
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 4: very aggressive offensively. That ain't a folacy and sealing Reggie

298
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 4: Bullock underneath the hoop that is how you play basketball.

299
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 4: But man, this is a great win for Golden State.

300
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 4: The MAVs had more three pointers, fewer turnovers, they shot

301
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: more free throws, but it didn't matter because the MAVs

302
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: got eleven rebounds from their big guys.

303
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: It is crazy. So, yeah, what happened was Curry drives

304
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: to the hoop and Draymond just blocks his guy off

305
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: from getting to play defense. If Bullock fights through Draymond's

306
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: arms and tries to play defense, that could be called

307
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: a foul, right, It's it's just potentially, Yeah, it's it's

308
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: just a weird thing. Like a defender can go where

309
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: he wants, but you can also seal, and it was

310
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: there was no shot going up, Like you can just

311
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: seal a guy.

312
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: That's how you want posting up, man, Yeah, yeah, boxing

313
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: out that happens.

314
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's boxing out when there's no shot going up.

315
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, post it up.

316
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: But he's also not posting up because he's not getting.

317
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: If he wanted to.

318
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

319
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: That's a one hundred legal move. That's just that's basketball.

320
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 4: That's good basketball right there. Yeah, Bullocks should have fought through.

321
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: And that's that's the whole point, is that the MAVs

322
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 4: didn't fight through. Yeah, exactly sixty six points in the

323
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: paint for the Warriors. They were in the lane the

324
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 4: entire time. Curry had a ton of assists as well

325
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: in this game because they were just collapsing on him

326
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 4: because he was getting by the first line of defense

327
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: the entire night. And they don't really have rim protectors

328
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: at this point. The Mavericks don't, so they would have

329
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: to send three guys to him easy passes out to

330
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: the wing for threes.

331
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they beat them the mass MAVs. This was

332
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: sort of a recipe for the MAVs to win. They

333
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: they had five more threes than the Warriors, but they

334
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: just couldn't stop enough of them, just couldn't get an

335
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: additional stop. Hard Harden Jared Jaden Hardy was awesome. I

336
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: combined Hardy and Jayden and I got a Harden. He

337
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: was awesome in this game. He was just letting it fly.

338
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: So if Kyrie Irving continues to be out with the

339
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: toe problem, that's your offense. He was. He was Kyrie

340
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: light and game, just playing beside Luca, just letting it rip.

341
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: So that's a good sign for them.

342
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: I like Steve Kerr joking after the game, how they're

343
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: hot on the road. Now they're the road Warriors because

344
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: they've won two straight after beating Houston and now Dallas,

345
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: both in their barns. So big wins. Kaminga awesome too.

346
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah for the Warriors, nine of eleven off the bench,

347
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: twenty two points in a game that was a very

348
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: very close game. He was fantastic and that was a

349
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: big win. We'll look at the standings a little bit

350
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: later for the Warriors, and really rough for the Mavericks,

351
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: sliding down there, even lower in the play in tournament.

352
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: But let's keep going here. Let's go to Karl Anthony

353
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: Towns making his long awaited return. He'd missed like fifty

354
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: one games. It's been a while, but he comes back

355
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: and the Wolves win. He hit some clutch free throws.

356
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: Kat did, but there was also a controversial no call

357
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: at the end of this one. Tass and that was

358
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: Sidik Bay trying to go for like the tip rebound

359
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: off the hunter miss falling print sort of backing up

360
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 2: into him, and he's like, where's the call? Where's the call?

361
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: And the officials were asked after this one and they said, yeah,

362
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: we blew it. We probably should have called that, big

363
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: Ben Foster. Yeah, so I don't know what's your take

364
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 2: on this. No whistle there, Wolves hold on to win.

365
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, again the officials saying, oh, maybe we botched

366
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: that one with him Prince sort of the way he

367
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 2: backed up into Bay on the rebound attempt.

368
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 3: I do think there. It seemed like there was a

369
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: lot of chaos happening just within those two dudes. So

370
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 3: I thought it would be difficult to call. He did

371
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: turn around, he did box out, he did hook his

372
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 3: right arm, so Bay had to throw up his left

373
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: arm and try and tip it in. But I thought

374
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: it'd be tough to call live. But it was technically

375
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: a fact.

376
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: When you start seeing the slow mo versions, yeah, there's

377
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: a lot of contact.

378
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: But how do you call that?

379
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: That's tough. I mean there's a lot of that stuff.

380
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: He's not shooting the ball, the ball is up and

381
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 3: Bay does throw his left hand and he gets his

382
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: left hand on the ball and he probably he would

383
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: have had his right hand on the ball, his dominant

384
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 3: hand to tip it or like you know, put both

385
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 3: hands on it. Yeah, so it is unfortunate for sure,

386
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 3: but Town's sort of under the radar. It was just

387
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: just not talked about a lot. As he ramped up

388
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: and he was playing with the workout crew back from

389
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: fifty one games. Hawks ripping them apart in the first quarter. Yeah,

390
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: they're playing drop coverage and Trey Young looked amazing. And

391
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: then they started walling off a little bit, and they

392
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: turned tray over three times in a three minute span

393
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter to turn this game around. And

394
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: then Town's ice cold got to the line on another

395
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 3: controversial call if you want to call it right before

396
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: that where John he was hooking John Collins and John

397
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: Collins was hooking him. It was a double hook. You

398
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: could call a double foul, but they called it on

399
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: Collins because the offensive player can go where he wants.

400
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: Went to the line iced it, so a great return

401
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 3: for him in limited minutes.

402
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. I thought it was just cool that Chris Pinch

403
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: called to play for Karl Anthony Towns to win the

404
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 4: game for him after missing what did they say, one

405
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 4: hundred and fourteen days or something like that, basically half

406
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: of a cal under a year. And you know, I

407
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 4: thought Towns acquitted himself pretty well, made a couple of threes,

408
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: definitely looked a little bit rusty, and certainly they're gonna

409
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: have to figure out defense stuff. Also, he only played

410
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: twenty six or twenty six minutes last night. Those are

411
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: gonna go up, but the Timberwolves are gonna still have

412
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 4: to figure out a way to play nas Reed. He

413
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 4: is such an important player for them, the energy he

414
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: brings to the team. He's maybe one of their better athletes,

415
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: which seems kind of weird considering he's a big guy.

416
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: But you know, relative to the position, he runs the

417
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: court really well. He had twenty six points, eight rebounds

418
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: last night. He can stretch the four just like Towns does.

419
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 4: He's important to play. Kyle Anderson also super important to play.

420
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: He was kind of running point for the grit for

421
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 4: the Timberwolves a lot last night with Anthony Edwards out.

422
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 4: But as long as Finch is able to figure out

423
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: a way to play like the four main big guys,

424
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: they've got a lot of talent be It'll be interesting

425
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 4: to see how they figure it out, because Towns on

426
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 4: defense is still going to be a big time issue

427
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: because he's either gonna have to guard a shooter who's

428
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: running around or be the guy who there for the

429
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 4: role to the low man on the rotations, and neither

430
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: of those are a strength of Karl Anthony Towns defensively.

431
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: But at least he made those free throws at the end,

432
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 4: which is cool.

433
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: It's a good point about nas Reed because you can't

434
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: play three centers. We know the Wolves like to play

435
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,479
Speaker 3: a lot of big guys and they're paying a lot

436
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: of big guys, and I doubt they're gonna pay nas

437
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: Reed in the off season. But he's kind of their

438
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 3: energy guy as well, and he makes big plays at

439
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: all times, and he scores and he does have the

440
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 3: footwork of a guard and he's super athletic. But I

441
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 3: don't see him playing a lot if you're playing go

442
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: bar in Towns. So it's gonna be ye a bit

443
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 3: of a problem, just just as far as defensive coverages

444
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: and just their their their go to sort of their

445
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: chemistry dude as well. He's a big part of it.

446
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to highlight one particular play from this game.

447
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: I forgot to grab the clip, but it sort of

448
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: like infuriated me a little bit, and I'll explain why.

449
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 2: It was about one twenty five left. Wolves had very

450
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: little time left on the shot clock, about ten seconds,

451
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: so Kyle Anderson took it inside. You know, he had

452
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: to he had to get and get running out of clock,

453
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: had to get a shot up. Three Hawks swarm Kyle Anderson, okay,

454
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 2: and as he goes up to shoot, I think Bogie

455
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: blocks it and the ball stays in bound. And it

456
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: was right at the end of the shot clock. So

457
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 2: you hear the shot clock buzzer go emh and Bogie

458
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: grabs the ball at the exact same time usually in

459
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: NBA games, and I get upset with it all the time.

460
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: Usually the officials when that shot clock goes, even if

461
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: it goes right to the defensive team which is now

462
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: turning into the offense and teev of course they'll say

463
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: shot clock, you know, side out abounds your ball right

464
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 2: instead the rest let this one play, So Bogie passes

465
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: it to Trey. Trey kicks it ahead to John Collins

466
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: who's screaming up the floor and he fishes. It's that now.

467
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: I love that. This is how it should be. That

468
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 2: was like, hey, good defense, you got the ball right

469
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: when the shot clock went. You should have the advantage.

470
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: But we've talked about it before in this podcast. They

471
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: usually call it dead, and it's like, that's you're helping

472
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: out the team that just got blocked or ran out

473
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: of shot clock. Why not give the advantage to the

474
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: team that got the stop They did here, But man,

475
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: they changed this all the time from officiating crew to

476
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: officiating crew, and you rarely see it actually not called.

477
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: But I liked it. It was like made more sense.

478
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: It was right exactly at the shock clock buzzer when

479
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: it went to bogie and you kept in a bounds

480
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: and they scored the other two the other end. So

481
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: just something a little one that I was like, oh weird.

482
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: They usually call that side out, which allows your defense

483
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: to set up in the it would be in the

484
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: world's case here, So anyway, just pisses me off. I

485
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: wish it was always called.

486
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: Like, I hope in the off season they there's a memo.

487
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: I love the memorandums they tell the teams, Hey.

488
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: Maybe i'll write it up.

489
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 3: Well, I think that yeah, the refs sort of.

490
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 2: Cost us ten thousand dollars to send it, but like.

491
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 3: In a positive way. Oh okay, yeah, to tell the

492
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: teams you may have the advantage. You're going to have

493
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: the advantage if the shock clock goes off, because it's

494
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: not gonna happen one hundred percent of the time. But

495
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: if they make this change where they give the team,

496
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 3: the defensive team the.

497
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 4: Advantage tied to the defense.

498
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 3: That's the memorandom. It's a positive, man, It's the one

499
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: you look at in your inbox and you see from

500
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: the rest of memorandum. God, oh it's a good one. Actually,

501
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: this is good for the game. But as you said,

502
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: the Wolves were surprised.

503
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 2: They were because usually they call the shock clock you know, violation,

504
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: where it's like, okay, well we can get back on

505
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: defense now. I mean, it's funny because you'd be better off,

506
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: in Colin Anderson's case, to just hold onto the ball,

507
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: take the shock clock violation instead of like trying to

508
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: get it up there. Now you could argue, oh, maybe

509
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: you get a tip on offensive rebound, but he was

510
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: really swarmed. But it actually hurt him because they let

511
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: it go and they scored an easy two on the

512
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 2: other end. In the end, they pulled it out, though

513
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: obviously it was some controversy.

514
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: People like talking about the rest. Do you think people

515
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: will watch a video of just a screenshot of a screen,

516
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: a word document or notes document us typing up a memorandum.

517
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: You just see the memorandum being typed sixty seconds sixty

518
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: seconds or less of literally a memorandum to teams. Yeah,

519
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: I believe it. Yeah, it's pretty simple.

520
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: It's pretty simple. We can plan it ahead of time

521
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: to know what we're saying.

522
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, when the shot clock goes off, we're not

523
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 3: necessarily going to take it out of bounds again too

524
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: long already you may have the advantage.

525
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: Well, keep an eye on that possible later. John Morant

526
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: also back, we came off the bench for the first

527
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: time in his career. Grizzlies topped the Rockets though to

528
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: clinch the number one seed in the Southwest Division, if

529
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: you care about those things. Seventeen points five assists for

530
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: Jahn Morant, though played twenty four minutes. Trey thoughts on

531
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: what we saw from John Morant there and the Grizzlies

532
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 2: with him back in the lineup.

533
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting certainly that he came off

534
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 4: the bench not a huge surprise. Basically, he said, I

535
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 4: want to come off the bench. Steph Curry did it

536
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 4: in the playoffs last year. I think it's kind of

537
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 4: a way to ramp up getting back to playing, but

538
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 4: also a way to show your teammates a little respectfully

539
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 4: thanks for carrying my team while I was out. Yep,

540
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 4: from my own doing. It's also a lot easier to

541
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 4: manage minutes, which I guess you on a minute's restriction

542
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: last night. Fewer extended rests if you're not the starter,

543
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 4: and you get to be on the court for the

544
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 4: closing minutes, which John Morant was uh so, Yeah. I

545
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 4: mean I saw Jared Jackson Junior say he was cheesing

546
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 4: when John Morant checked in because he was happy to

547
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: have him back. I didn't remember that Jaw was going

548
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 4: to be wearing a mask. Yeah, that was a surprise

549
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: to me as well. But a nice win for the Grizzlies.

550
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: No surprise. They did it against the Rockets. You know,

551
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 4: it was close off the landing spot, but they had

552
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: to play in the fourth quarter and Jaw was able

553
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: to be on the court, so good stuff.

554
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Because of the minutes restriction, he was able to

555
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: play in the fourth quarter instead of bumping those minutes up,

556
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 3: which makes sense. What is the mask for? I totally

557
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: had forgotten.

558
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: It's been a while March nasal fracture. There you go

559
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 4: against the Nuggets own teammate.

560
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: I don't know that one happened.

561
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 4: It happened.

562
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: He's got a mask work here. I do like the

563
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: idea of giving his teammates respect. He also said mentally,

564
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 3: he just wasn't ready to have the lights go off

565
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: and him be the last guy announced and come out there.

566
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: And Joe Varden has been covering this pretty well for

567
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: the athletic because Morent is going through some some mental

568
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: struggles and I think he gave a good coping tip

569
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: for anyone out there. He said he was in his

570
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: house hours before the game. You know, it wasn't all there.

571
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: He started telling himself what he was feeling. In that moment.

572
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: He started telling himself, talking to himself. Maybe he was

573
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 3: just in his brain, but instead of talking to a therapist,

574
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 3: it just helped him a lot. Like he just he

575
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: just was able to go through it, and he did

576
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: go to counseling for a week. I misspoken and it

577
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: did seem like he had only been there, according to

578
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: tweets for like twenty four hours before from Florida to

579
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: sitting across from Jalen Rose in that interview. But he

580
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: was there for a week and hopefully all is improving

581
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: there in the Morent world. And I did like the

582
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 3: gesture of coming off the mention I'm sure when he

583
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 3: is ready started because all those head lights up the

584
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: Grizzlies better without Jammerant. Yeah, well he'll be starting soon.

585
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: Jaron Jackson Junior also had another monster game. This guy

586
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: is playing the best basketball was career right now. Thirty

587
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: seven points, ten boards. He was a beast.

588
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 4: Eleven few gros. Yeah, it's like he just realized he's

589
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: seven feet tall. I know, right, this is awesome, dunk everything. Yeah,

590
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 4: everybody's smaller and slower than me. Yeah, he's really turned

591
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 4: it on. So definitely a silver lining for the Grizzlies.

592
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 4: With the John Morant going out of the lineup. For

593
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 4: as long as he was out, Jared Zackson Junior was

594
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 4: the guy who stepped forward offensively, which I think is

595
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: huge for this season. And then for Jared Jackson Junior

596
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 4: going forward, you would have maybe thought, it's Desmond Baine

597
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: who's going to be the guy who kind of takes

598
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: over in Jaw's absence. He's been good, he's gotten his flowback,

599
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 4: I think with Brent missing time. But Jaron Jackson Junior

600
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: became a man for the Grizzlies and he did it

601
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 4: again last night. Great stuff.

602
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: All right, we'll fly through some of the other games

603
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: last night. We'll start with the Eastern Conference wins. Jannis

604
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: big Night Bucks crushed the Spurs one thirty ninety four

605
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: tyres MAXI Key's a fast start as the seventy six

606
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 2: Ers pound the balls one sixteen to ninety one. We

607
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: had friends in our WhatsApp chat sharing the score nineteen

608
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: to one. The Sixers were leading there.

609
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 4: That was a weird scoring, that weird.

610
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: Yes, very very rad. Jimmy Butler scored thirty five as

611
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: the Heat held off the Knicks one twenty seven to twenty.

612
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: That was a spicy game at the end. And then

613
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: back home in Canada, a bunch of Canadians on the

614
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: Pacers beat the Raptors. Uh Andrew Nemhard was twenty five.

615
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on any of those four games from either

616
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: of you, Yeah.

617
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: Quickly Nemhard Mathin Brissett. Three starters for the Pacers, three

618
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 3: Canadian born starters for the first time in a starting

619
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: lineup in NBA history. Yeah, great stuff.

620
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 2: I thought the Pistons had done it, but I guess

621
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: they didn't start.

622
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: They did start them, but maybe they all got in.

623
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 3: They got on the floor, Pacers, Pistons, so many Canadians

624
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: on the floor. But it was a combined starters, I

625
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: guess between the Pacers and Pistons. Anyways, that was the

626
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: That was the highlight in Canada for the fans there

627
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: because the Raps stunk coming out of this coming out

628
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: of the gate. The defense was just bad in the

629
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: first half and they got back into it.

630
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like Canada Basketball Night too in Toronto.

631
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: That's unfortunately, wait to go, Rick Carlisle to respect it,

632
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: should have played.

633
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: Fred had a twenty eight and ten game, but he

634
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: had a lot of bad shots in this game. And

635
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: obviously it was cool from a Canada basketball perspective for

636
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: Andrew Nevheart to seal it with that deep step back

637
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: three that had incredible rotation. It looked like cartoon rotation

638
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: of a basketball. It rotated so much. He lets it

639
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: go down from solo and Mathern was playing extremely hard

640
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: in this game. It's a bad result for the Reps

641
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: without Haliburton on the other side, even if they have

642
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: their own problems. Siakam wasn't good enough in the first

643
00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 3: half as well.

644
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: Ups were lucky, perhaps were lucky that the Bulls got

645
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: waxed by the Sixers and that the Hawks also lost

646
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 2: there at the end there to the Wolves.

647
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: And even the Wizards like l team who could theoretically

648
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 4: be chasing anybody down. So yeah, good night to lose.

649
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: Yeah in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Yeah, nineteen to

650
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 4: one start, you know, I guess it was typically a

651
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: seventeen to zero start. Yeah in Philadelphia as well, and

652
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 4: then the Bulls could never respond. Some weird Joel Embiid

653
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: stuff though, just didn't come out for the second half.

654
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 4: Sixers fans were freaking out because the update on the

655
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 4: broadcast was the only reason he wasn't coming back was

656
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 4: because there's a big lead. Sixers fans are kind of

657
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: always waiting for the other shit to drop. It feels

658
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 4: like they were already missing Harden, who was a little

659
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 4: gimpy against the Bulls on Monday night, and now Embiid

660
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 4: could maybe miss time. We'll see. It seems like they're

661
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 4: just kind of being very cautious with his I think

662
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: they said it was calf tightness, right, But I mean

663
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: we got ten games left. Obviously there's still an mbrace.

664
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 4: Obviously there's questions about staying healthy for the playoffs. So

665
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see what Doc actually does with

666
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 4: the two stars, because you absolutely need both of them

667
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 4: at peak health going into the playoffs, because that is

668
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: always a question mark. Also, say, a huge win for

669
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: the Heat last night, Yeah, big time. In the fourth quarter,

670
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 4: Tyler Hero hit four threes, Max Strus hit two threes,

671
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: and Jimmy was money as usual. Now they are in

672
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: a virtual tie with the Nets. I think the Nets

673
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 4: are actually ahead based on percentage points. They also have

674
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 4: the tiebreaker and they play on Saturday. That's a huge

675
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 4: game because if the Heat win that one, they are

676
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 4: getting into the top six and they might not look back.

677
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 4: With regards to the.

678
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: Net, we might get a Sixers Heat first round series.

679
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: You know we've talked about do you want to play

680
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat. I know they have limitations and their

681
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: half court offense and stuff like that, but also they

682
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: got some dogs on this team. You're led by Jimmy,

683
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 2: You're obviously well coached. Like I think whatever series they're in,

684
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: they're going to put up one hell of a fight.

685
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was a big win. And now both

686
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: teams were shooting the lights out in the fourth quarter,

687
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: both the Knicks on the heat. Did you see the

688
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: travel Jimmy Butler got away with last night, switching his

689
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: pivot feet like twice, Like he was out by the

690
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: three point line and he was sort of trapped and

691
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: it's like so blatant that he's like, it was weird

692
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: they missed. It was sort of late in the game too.

693
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: It was big points that they it resulted in from

694
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: Miami heat. But yeah, the officials missed it. Maybe the

695
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: Knicks will protest. I think every team that lost last

696
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: night should just protest. It's rough.

697
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 4: It sounds very real dosey dough here from Jimmy Butler.

698
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: I did see him trolling Julius Randall. It's been a

699
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: long time I feel like since we've had a Jimmy

700
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: Butler reaction face. Yeah, that's what could maybe, yeah, maybebe

701
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 4: cracked the list. I think if he would have went

702
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 4: for more like Boo boo eyes, it would definitely be

703
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: locked in. But they're just like the little sad pop.

704
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he was doing. He's like mocking them.

705
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: Ash threw up the East playoff standing. We'll just take

706
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: a quick look at this. So the Bucks in one

707
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: Celtics two sixers dropped there to the third seed. I

708
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: mean they already were we have tie breaker, but they're

709
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: a half game back now with Boston Cleveland, New York,

710
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: and then we talked about Brooklyn and Miami there and

711
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: then all those playing teams, we include the Wizards, who

712
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: are still technically within striking distance of sneaking in there,

713
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: but probably unlikely the way they're playing.

714
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 3: They're over under number. Preseason I expected win total was

715
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: like thirty three and a half, so they're right on it. Wow,

716
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: we bet the over did? We looks good?

717
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you think the Wizard's got two more windows?

718
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: I think yeah, hopefully nine. Yeah, that'll be all right.

719
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: Let's jump over to the Western Conference games or wins.

720
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: I guess I should say, yeah, you said the Wizards lost.

721
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: They lost to Joki, who had thirty one in monster line.

722
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: They pulled away from the Wizards one eighteen one oh

723
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: four Anthony Davis and Austin Reeves A D and R

724
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: leading the Lakers past the Suns one twenty two to

725
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: one eleven. Monty Williams once again not happy with the

726
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: free throw shooting or disparity, and then Lillard and Sharp

727
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: get the Blazers past the Jest to halt a six

728
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: game skin. I think it's a little too late where

729
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: they are in the Western Conference standings, but any thoughts

730
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: on those three.

731
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: I'm just glad Lillard is playing because the comments made

732
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 3: it seem like he was done. He was basically saying

733
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 3: I can't see wins and and I started the season

734
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 3: optimistically we had a decent run, but now I can't

735
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 3: see wins. So it's felt like he was going to

736
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 3: shut it down. But it just felt wrong. If you're

737
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 3: just going to shut it down for no reason, there's

738
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: really no reason. So I'm glad, just from this whole

739
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 3: load management, this players not playing enough perspective, that he

740
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 3: came out and played. You mentioned money. Williams, always pretty

741
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 3: calm cool on the mic, took one question done, I'm

742
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: done because of that disparity. They only shot up recently.

743
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: He said, Yeah, I'm tired of talking about it because

744
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: it's over and over and over again. It happens with

745
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: his team. It's that type of team. Let's let's be

746
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 3: completely honest. It's not a team that goes to the

747
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: ram a ton. I know Booker does draw contact, but

748
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: look you look up and.

749
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: Do to the life he did. He was the only

750
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: one really yeah, yeah, yeah, and no eight no, of

751
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 2: course Kevin Durant. Still, I mean they're limited. So yeah,

752
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 2: it's not like Biambo's gonna be going in the line,

753
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen times. But he's pissed off about it.

754
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: I mean he's trying to, like, I don't know, maybe

755
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: like get ready for the playoffs here. Whoever they play

756
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: as they like continue to lose. I mean, it's like

757
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 2: very close. You can throw up the Western Conference standings

758
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: ash like it's tight between now the Suns and the Clippers.

759
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: There it's a half game, so they may not have

760
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 2: home court advantage as possible as and then of course

761
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 2: a bunch of teams not that far behind them even

762
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: you can fall in a hurry here in the Western Conference.

763
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

764
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 4: I mean a terribly officiated game, to be quite honest,

765
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 4: because we had Monti Williams giving a one answer press

766
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 4: conference afterwards, and there's clips of D'Angelo Russell being like,

767
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 4: Scott Foster's refing this game, y'all Scott Foster because the

768
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 4: files were crazy and this one. So if the winning

769
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 4: team is upset with the refs and the losing team

770
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 4: is upset with the refs, either good officiating or very

771
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 4: very bad. La took forty six free throws, took twenty.

772
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves took more free throws than Devin Booker did. Like,

773
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 4: I understand that the Sons are a jump shooting team,

774
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 4: but this feels a little vindictive considering the history that

775
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 4: Chris Paul and Scott Foster have throughout their entire career.

776
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 4: Incredible game though, for Reeves twenty five points, a career

777
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 4: high eleven assists. He was getting MVP chance. At one

778
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: point he also crossed up Cameron Pain campaign fell on

779
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 4: the ground. Reeves finishes with a jelly at the rim,

780
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 4: and Mark Jones said he put pain on his knees

781
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 4: like it was pre game Chapel and Mark Jackson marm

782
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: Jackson was like, is that the first time he used that?

783
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 4: Because he couldn't believe what he had just said. He's like,

784
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna let you cook Mark to Mark, I'm

785
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 4: letting you cook Mark and Mark wild stuff. Wild stuff

786
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: in the association.

787
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 3: Is wild sufferer reeves to get MVP chants, but he

788
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: deserves it. Okay, he's not MVP, but don't but his man,

789
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: he's playing Mark Jack.

790
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 4: It wasn't happy about that.

791
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: He's like, let's be serious, No, but he needs to

792
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: be out there a ton, whether or not he's starting

793
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: or not. He played thirty nine minutes in this game,

794
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: and Anthony Davis was a beast he saw on the

795
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 3: other side beyondbo slash Landale and he did his job. Yeah,

796
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: so they won a game, but we gotta expect him

797
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 3: to rant back soon. I think we see, like how

798
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 3: Towns is coming back, Guy's coming back under the radar

799
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 3: without a lot of hoopla around it. I think Katie

800
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: will be back soon and Shaun's kind of indicati we'll

801
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 3: be back within a week and couldn't come soon enough.

802
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: I would also tell you to seek out the highlight

803
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: of Sharp's alleoop dunk last night in that Blazer's victory.

804
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 2: Holy shit, that to me had a lot of Vince

805
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: Carter vibes to that alley oop. The way he gets

806
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 2: up there the vertical is unreal. His just how comfortable

807
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: he is obviously catching at one hand and throwing it down,

808
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: And if anything, it just made me pissed off that

809
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: he wasn't in the dunk contest at the end of

810
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: the day. But that was huge good win from the Blazers.

811
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: But again, I think they're just too far back at

812
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: this point. We gotta take a break. But when we

813
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: come back a little, Is this news don't go anywhere.

814
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: My next batch of First Leaf wine arrives tomorrow, so

815
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a.

00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 5: Is this news?

821
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: Got some headlines for you, guys? Tell me whether or

822
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 2: not they're newsworthy. First one from ESPN. Hornets and Nick

823
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: Richards agree to a three year, fifteen million dollar extension.

824
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: Is this news the big Nick Energy? What do you got?

825
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 3: Great news? Headline news, front page news, great contract for

826
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 3: good player done by the Charlotte Hornets. Hey solid, this

827
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: is what you gotta pay A backup fringe start center

828
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 3: in the NBA. Sure five, you're laughing because sometimes you

829
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: don't want to play a Nick Richards. Sometimes you do,

830
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 3: and you shouldn't be paying. I'm just talking not Nick

831
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: Richards specifically, but that type of player. Yeah, in today's NBA,

832
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: a guy who doesn't necessarily light it up, who doesn't

833
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 3: score from the three point line, is not going to

834
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: play all the time, so he's not gonna be a start.

835
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 3: But this is the type of money. And I don't

836
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: think you've you've never come across a podcast that's talked

837
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 3: about Nick Richards as much as this show. Good point,

838
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 3: you guys were at the Nick Richards Show.

839
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 2: We saw his breakout game this year against the Hawks,

840
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: his career high. He was killing them, dominating them. Now,

841
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 2: this is smart like work here by the Hornets, especially

842
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 2: because he was extension eligible up until like June thirtieth.

843
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: But this avoids him going into restricted free agency this summer.

844
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: So good deal here for Nick Richards. Three years, fifteen million. Tray,

845
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 2: you're nodding away. You are a big Nick Richards guy.

846
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 4: I love Nick Richards, Love Mark Willie, love PJ. Washington.

847
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 4: I love what the Hornets are putting together. In their

848
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 4: big man rotation right now. But honestly, like, I mean,

849
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 4: he's making five million dollars a year to be the

850
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: backup center. That's a good deal. Yeah, that's a good

851
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 4: deal for Nick, a good deal for the Hornets. He

852
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 4: does like he puts up numbers in a huge guy.

853
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he put you know, his averaging career highs of

854
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 2: basically eight points a game, six boards, and over a

855
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: block in only eighteen minutes per game. I mean, those

856
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: are pretty decent stats for under twenty minutes.

857
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, in such a low salary number in today's NBA,

858
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: five million bucks doesn't prohibit you from going and paying

859
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: another center a lot of money, right, like a nas

860
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: reed that we just talked about. Who's going to get

861
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: paid a decent amount of money from somebody out there

862
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 3: to be their starting center? I imagine.

863
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 2: Well, they also like Mark Williams. They like Mark william Yeah,

864
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: they traded away the plump dog to give them that opportunity.

865
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: Sure they got two. I'm not saying it's got to

866
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: be the Horns, but I'm just saying it doesn't inhibit

867
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,959
Speaker 3: what you can do later on. That's why you sign

868
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 3: these These are smart, smart moves all right.

869
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: Our next headline from the Clipper themselves, Paul George has

870
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: a strained right name and will be reevaluated in two

871
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: to three weeks. This is our Paul George update. Talked

872
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: about it a lot on yesterday show. We didn't know

873
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 2: the extent of the injury. So is this news to

874
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: utk from what the Clippers are saying? Reevaluated in two

875
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 2: to three weeks.

876
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say best possible news for the Clippers.

877
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess the best possible news would be

878
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 4: actually nothing.

879
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 2: Happened, so that was possible.

880
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. Saw a lot of comparisons to Giannis in

881
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty one playoffs when he got hurt here

882
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 4: in Atlanta, hyper extended his knee, looked really bad, just

883
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 4: like Paul Georges did. He missed two games, ended up

884
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 4: missing one week. So this is pretty solid. I think

885
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 4: for the Clippers to at least be envisioning the return

886
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 4: of Paul George two to three weeks, though that's the

887
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 4: end of the regular season, which is a problem. Yeah,

888
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: but if there's any team who would be ready for

889
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 4: questionable availability from one of their stars, not knowing if

890
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 4: he's going to be healthy, Uh, game to game, it

891
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 4: would be the Clippers. So you know, this is kind

892
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 4: of how the Clippers have done things for the past

893
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 4: four seasons, and they will continue to do it in

894
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 4: the playoffs.

895
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 3: I would just be concerned if I was the Clippers

896
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 3: about getting Paul George to his all star level right

897
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 3: away when he's back, though, because he seems like get

898
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 3: it going slowly type of guy when he comes back

899
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 3: from injury. You've seen him come back from like the

900
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: shoulder injuries in the past. Like you said, regular season ending,

901
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: Paul George coming back three weeks would essentially be when

902
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 3: the play in tournament's happening, So he may not even

903
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 3: get any regular season games. Yeah, he may have to

904
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 3: come back right at the beginning of the playoffs, and

905
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 3: that sticks for them and their expectations. They could be

906
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: starting on the road. Very likely, it's putting them behind

907
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: the eight ball, that's for sure.

908
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

909
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: I mean it's very possible we don't even see Paul

910
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 2: George play a game this year for the Clippers, regular season,

911
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: play in or playoffs because the evald I mean, this

912
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 2: is the thing they all say now in these headlines.

913
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: It's not back in two to three weeks. It's always

914
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: re evaluated. Look at what just happened with Lebron here,

915
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 2: and it's like, who knows how he recovers. It looked brutal.

916
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: I mean, we all agree with that, and the way

917
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 2: he's carried off and carted out, like hopefully he bounces

918
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: back for the Clippers fans. But I wouldn't hold my

919
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: breath because at a certain point, like I know that

920
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 2: you have to keep kicking the can down the road

921
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 2: because always one of their guys is injured, one of

922
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: their superstars. But you don't want to put the guy

923
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: even at more risk of doing even more damage, which

924
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: could happen next one. Speaking of injuries. The Athletic ever

925
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: heard of it? It's a great website, Pelican.

926
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: Good deal going on the Athletic dot com slash no

927
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 3: dunks a dollar a month for twelve months, dollar a month. Yep.

928
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: Well, here you go, go to the Athletic dot com slash

929
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: no duncks so you can read this headline. You can

930
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 2: not only read the headline, you can read the whole

931
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: damn thing. Pelicans Zion Williamson cleared for on court activities

932
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: out at least two more weeks. Is this news?

933
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 3: I'm going positive you always do. I do. Yeah, you

934
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 3: could easily go negative. But I think, unlike Paul George,

935
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 3: when he comes back, he's going to be a hunter.

936
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 3: Since Zion, he's gonna feel great. He's gonna be coming

937
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 3: out bursting to the rim, that's how good he is.

938
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,439
Speaker 3: Of course, you could look at this as, yeah, they

939
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 3: just keep prolonging this. How many updates have we got now?

940
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just choose to be hopeful that he's

941
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 3: gonna come back and feeling good. But I could be wrong.

942
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 2: I could be very wrong, Trey, is this news at all?

943
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: Because Testo said it, We feel like we've read this

944
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 2: headline eight times this season on the athletic they just

945
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: keep running the same one.

946
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, is it news? Is it news? Pelicans

947
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 4: half game back of tenth, but they've got the seventh

948
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 4: hardest remaining schedule in the league. But honestly, for me,

949
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 4: if Zion plays one more game this season, it's great news.

950
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,320
Speaker 4: Him playing in like any sort of high leverage situation

951
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 4: I think will be interesting. Him on the court is

952
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 4: always fun to watch and like, I don't know, that's

953
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: such a weird thing with Zion When he plays, he's

954
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: a dominant player, but he hasn't been healthy long enough

955
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 4: to put together such long stretch that it feels like

956
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 4: he's working out the intricacies of playing in the NBA.

957
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 4: It's kind of like, roll the ball out there, and

958
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 4: this guy is so talented and so physically dominant that

959
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 4: he can still go get twenty seven points per game.

960
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 4: But imagine when he learns the ins and outs of

961
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 4: playing NBA basketball. He needs to be on the court

962
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 4: to do that. So I help hope he comes back,

963
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 4: even if it's for like two games at the end

964
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 4: of the season.

965
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say two weeks puts us basically,

966
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: let's ballpark April seventh, and they have two regular season

967
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 2: games left at that point. They would have a game

968
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 2: against the Knicks, they'd have a game against the Wolves,

969
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 2: and then it would be either they're in a play

970
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: in race or not. This is what's gonna happen here.

971
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: It's all gonna come down to are they within striking

972
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 2: distance of even getting in the play Otherwise, if they're out,

973
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 2: like technically eliminated, they're not playing Zion Lambs no, like

974
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: zero chance no. So it'll just be whether they're in

975
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: that race and it's up to these other guys ingram

976
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: and call them to keep them close enough that maybe

977
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: maybe maybe he helps get him in and plays a

978
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 2: game or two.

979
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 3: At the end, you think the NBA will do what

980
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 3: it did in the bubble and expand the field on

981
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: to get in and get in a couple of games,

982
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 3: because as Trey said, there were eleven and he said

983
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,720
Speaker 3: all season, I just want to be with my guys

984
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 3: because I missed the playoffs last year when we had

985
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: that great series against the Suns. So if you want

986
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 3: to be a glass half full type of guy, type

987
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 3: of gal out there, you look at it and you say, Okay,

988
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 3: he wants to be in the playoffs so so bad.

989
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 3: So they're just making sure he is actually healthy before

990
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: he comes back, so he doesn't get re injured again.

991
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 3: But I can see why the athletic keeps that that

992
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: you Arel Crispy and Sarel and keeps refreshing this story

993
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 3: because I understand. I understand if you're glass half empty,

994
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 3: it's it stinks. Though obviously the good.

995
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 2: Part of the headline, of course, is cleared for on

996
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: core activity, so something that is a step in the

997
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: right direction to coming back to your team. All right,

998
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: you convinced me. Uh, final one here. It's maybe a

999
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: day or two old at this point, but I thought,

1000
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 2: let's chew on it. From Complex. They had the best

1001
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 2: head version of this. Mario Chalmers rips former teammate Lebron James,

1002
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 2: says nobody fears him. Trey, is this news what Chalmers

1003
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 2: has been saying about Lebron?

1004
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 4: No, this is not news. No, this is revenge for

1005
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 4: getting yelled at for four years straight. Now you can

1006
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 4: tell Mario Chalmers was afraid of Lebron James because he

1007
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: didn't say it until he was retired. He also said,

1008
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 4: I don't know why because I see people be scared

1009
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 4: when they actually line up to him, but they're not

1010
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 4: scared thinking about that matchup. Huh, They're not scared, but

1011
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 4: they're scared. This is weird. Yeah, it was just a

1012
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: guy talking. Honestly, just the guy talking.

1013
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty good.

1014
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 4: Just a guy saying stuff because he was asked it's all.

1015
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, of course, it's in the context of

1016
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: comparisons of Lebron to Michael Jordan, who everybody feared, who

1017
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 2: everybody still fears to this day. But you know, Chalmers

1018
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: trying to say it's not the same with Lebron, which

1019
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: is look compared to Jordan. Sure, maybe, but also just strange.

1020
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, is there anyone that compares to Michael Jordan in

1021
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 3: that regard?

1022
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 4: No?

1023
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: Probably not.

1024
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 3: So maybe it's a good assessment, but it's a good

1025
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 3: point by Tray, he would always want to be the

1026
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 3: point guard for Lebron James team. So yeah, he kept

1027
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 3: it quiet for a while and until he couldn't be

1028
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 3: signed again because you know, he went to the Grizzlies,

1029
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 3: got injured again, and he was having some good times

1030
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: there with the Grizzlies post Lebron era, he was all

1031
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 3: right there.

1032
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 2: Hey, look, maybe not as many players fear Lebron as

1033
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 2: they did Michael Jordan, but that doesn't mean nobody fears Lebron.

1034
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: Did you watch the Eastern Conference for a fucking decade.

1035
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 2: Everybody didn't want to play Lebron. My team included, they

1036
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 2: were terrified to see him, and he embarrassed them every

1037
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: single time. Hawks fans, Raptors fans, I mean, come on, like,

1038
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: I think, really, what he's getting at here is is

1039
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 2: not that Chalmer's played with them, but like by all accounts,

1040
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: teammates of Michael Jordan feared Michael Jordan. Maybe that's not

1041
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: the case as much with Lebron's teammates because they're two

1042
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: different people, they're two different personalities. But it's a it's

1043
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: a strange like disc here at a guy that's also

1044
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 2: still playing in the league that you've been gone for.

1045
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 4: A five Well, I don't know. I remember Stanley Johnson

1046
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 4: talking trash to Lebron once upon a time. The last

1047
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 4: time we heard from Stanley Johnson, I'm in his head. No,

1048
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 4: you're not, sorry, Stanley, like.

1049
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 2: We had to slip it into the show. I guess

1050
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 2: there's not much else to say about this. You know

1051
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 2: whose podcast? I couldn't even keep track.

1052
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 4: It was a great question trying to figure the lower.

1053
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 2: He definitely was on somebody's podcast.

1054
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 4: It was it didn't have it didn't have a name

1055
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,720
Speaker 4: that was associated with an NBA playmaker. That's what it is. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

1056
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 4: ten million followers on Instagram. I think they say playmaker.

1057
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 2: H Q.

1058
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 4: I was like, is this a Michael Irvin podcast? I

1059
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 4: don't think it is.

1060
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 2: Though, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. Well,

1061
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: let's hear from everybody, uh out there thoughts on Chalmers. Uh,

1062
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 2: you know, dissing. I guess Lebron or just like this

1063
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: idea of nobody fearing them? Do you buy it? Maybe

1064
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 2: not as much as Michael Jordan, but did nobody fear Lebron? Hey?

1065
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 2: Do you fear Lebron?

1066
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 3: Do you feel Lebron?

1067
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 4: You?

1068
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 2: Do you feel Lebron?

1069
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 3: Not at all?

1070
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 4: Okay, he's kind. I think he's kinder than Michael Jordan. Yes,

1071
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 4: I'll watch you.

1072
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: The sense though, that I don't love my chances of

1073
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 2: winning the game or the series that may be competing

1074
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 2: against that for a long time.

1075
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 3: That comes from my fear, not off court on watching

1076
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 3: him barrel down the floor. AM taking the charge.

1077
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 2: Okay, let's take our final break when we come back.

1078
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 2: Pick him results and tweeted the night don't go anywhere

1079
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 2: all right, back in the class factory. Pick them results

1080
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 2: from last night, your boys skeets. He's hot right now.

1081
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 4: I'm on a roll.

1082
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 2: I took the Lakers. They had one and a half

1083
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: points to play with as dogs at home to the Suns.

1084
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 2: They got the whistle, according to Monty Williams, and I

1085
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 2: got the victory. It proves me to eight and eight.

1086
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 2: Here in March, Trey and Task Boast had the sun.

1087
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: So Trey's nine and seven, your four and twelve.

1088
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 3: Tasks four and twelve, no problem.

1089
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 2: All right, what's tonight's game?

1090
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to get to four to twenty. I

1091
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 3: think I can do it.

1092
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 2: Do we have enough nights?

1093
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 3: Enough four games in the Association this evening? Okay, it's

1094
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 3: a tight one. Hut Nick's Magic, cas Nets, Hornets Pelicans.

1095
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: But we're going Thunder Clippers. Every game matters in the

1096
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 3: Western Conference. The Clippers are at home, They're favored by

1097
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: two and a half, so I'm rolling with them, just

1098
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: thinking that they will bounce back.

1099
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: And they just played right.

1100
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 3: Yes, another one point game, a thunder one. That's right,

1101
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 3: close one. You guys have the Thunder who can lose

1102
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 3: by two and still cover?

1103
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 2: That's right, That's right. It could be another one point game.

1104
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: But lou Dort blocking up Kahiler.

1105
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 4: I'm a little nervous about this one, to be quite honest.

1106
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 4: It's tough to beat the same team twice, very back quickly,

1107
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 4: right after each other. But maybe it'll be a close

1108
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 4: one again, hopefully. All right, two of us with Okay,

1109
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 4: see Task has the clips. Let's get to tweeted the.

1110
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 3: Night tweet O the night.

1111
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: Wow, guys, I'm not gonna lie to you. There's a

1112
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 2: lot going on last night for me, a lot going

1113
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 2: on this morning. I was scrambling to find a tweet

1114
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 2: of the night. You know, we had a bunch of

1115
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 2: great games, Crazy Ending Survivor to watch. We got Owen

1116
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 2: Knight coming into the studio here soon, so I needed

1117
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 2: some help. And my guy JD and Jerome coming through

1118
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 2: with a tweet from at NBA Film Tweets. You might

1119
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 2: remember this was an account that JD highlighted that shares

1120
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 2: NBA players tweets about films. Well, they had a banger

1121
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 2: up the other day. This exchange with Mike James and

1122
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 2: his passionate thoughts about a couple of Disney movies. Aladdin

1123
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 2: always been better than Lion King. Aladdin is the realist

1124
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 2: character in Disney Simba Lo Kia Hoe. This is Mike James,

1125
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 2: the former NBA player. Okay, he tweeted this a while ago,

1126
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: but at NBA Film Tweets just shared it. Uh so,

1127
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 2: Big Sauce says back, No, no, no, you tripping brody.

1128
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: Mike James then goes on explain his thinking here name

1129
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 2: one thing Simba did the entire movie Aladdin. Huh okay,

1130
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,840
Speaker 2: he stole to eat and gave it to the kids.

1131
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 2: He didn't eat, He had nothing and became king. He

1132
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: had three wishes and really only used one on himself

1133
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: and one other one to free his homie. And he

1134
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: beat up Jafar and out smarted him, et cetera. And

1135
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 2: this continued, but we'll stop it there. So I guess, Trey,

1136
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 2: how do you feel about James Mike James take on

1137
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 2: Aladdin being a much better Disney film than The Lion

1138
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 2: King and.

1139
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 4: His complicated that man, it's complicated skeets because on one hand,

1140
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 4: until Malwana came out, I would say Aladdin was my

1141
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 4: favorite Disney movie. But I'll also say I would say,

1142
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 4: you know, just looking at it objectively, Lion King is

1143
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 4: the best Disney movie plot wise, incredible based on King

1144
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 4: lear great songs, so great songs. But you know, Simba,

1145
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 4: all he did was literally nothing. Hakuna matata that.

1146
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: Was the whole point. Makes a good point there.

1147
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kuna Matata, though, is cooler than anything in Aladdin.

1148
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 4: Oh it means for the rest of your days.

1149
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great line. Sure. Full track full soundtrack.

1150
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 3: I think Aladdin wins. They got some bangers. I mean

1151
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 3: with he he's a whole new world.

1152
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 4: Oh that is good. Pebo Bryson shout out my guy, Pbo.

1153
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 3: But I mean, one jump ahead. While he's jumping on

1154
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 3: each of the buildings.

1155
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 4: I see a lovely bunch of coconuts walking down the road.

1156
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 4: But come on, you're talking Elton John and you feel

1157
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 4: the love tonight?

1158
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are we What are we talking about here,

1159
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 3: Mike James. Obvious, Aladdin is a far more endearing character

1160
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 3: than Yes, Simba.

1161
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 4: Had it all. He's entitled, as far as the sun

1162
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 4: could reach. Tasks belonged to him, and he gave his dad.

1163
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 3: Died, he gave it up. He ran away obviously, scar

1164
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 3: scarred him, Scar scared, scar scared the heck out of him.

1165
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 3: I get it. But as far as character versus character,

1166
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 3: I think that's when Mike James is getting it.

1167
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, came from the hundred percent. You agree with Mike James.

1168
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Simba sucks. Simba sucks.

1169
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 4: Aladdin was nothing without the genie.

1170
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 3: But the movie was nothing.

1171
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 5: Okay we're talking about the characters here.

1172
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, the character Aladdin, he was nothing without the genie.

1173
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, hold on, he was a fighter. Brings up

1174
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 5: a good He was a fighter. He stole food. He

1175
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 5: stole food and gave it to people.

1176
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 4: He didn't even end up eating that app.

1177
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 3: That's necessary trouble.

1178
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 2: He got into necessary This guy's robin hood.

1179
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 5: Simba is a Nepo baby who got fooled into thinking

1180
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 5: that he was responsible for his father's death, which is

1181
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 5: kind of stupid.

1182
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,319
