Speaker 1: last one in the factory. Let's make it a good one, Mellis.

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it with the updown report. Hit it ESH,

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: It's up the updown report, thumbs up, thumbs down. Ash

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: feel free to jump in with any of your answers

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: as well. And we're gonna start with the funny one here.

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: And I know we have the clip Cavaliers big Man

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: Thomas Bryant had Hornet's rookie conk nipple on the block.

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: So the big Man went to work and he scored

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: over Canipple. You just missed it there. That's okay, we'll

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: show you again. And as he's going back down the floor,

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: he hit the too Small celebration but tripped and fell

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: and Twitter went nuts and worldwide wobbs suggested, we might

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: have to retire the too small celebration. So that's the

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: question in the updown report, up or down tasks on

33
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: retiring the too small celebration. Now that Thomas Bryant made

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: a fool of himself, he.

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Did fall down, but I am totally down on retiring

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: the celebration. Take a small guy into the post and

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: give it to him. Give it to him with a hook,

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: Give it to him with a lefty hook. Thomas Bryant

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: pulled out the lefty hooked. The guy is right handed.

40
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: He's not known for his post gameplay and he pulled

41
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: it out. Yeah, I want to see more of it,

42
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 2: and the fact that he fell actually adds to the moment. Yeah,

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: everybody enjoyed it on Twitter. I got no problem with

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: somebody falling over. Oh, it's hilarious.

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: And he trips on the half court line. There was

46
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: an imaginary rope there.

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: It is strange the way he just falls down. He

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: doesn't slip on the floor. He's wearing those beautiful jerseys.

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: I love the City edition number one jersey, number two court.

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: I love the whole thing.

51
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: I think it was great and I like seeing big

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: men pull out their hook shots again that even that

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: ain't even number one his game, That even isn't his

54
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: strong hand. I love the whole thing.

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: I did see a response to Worldwide wob again and

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: who suggested we retire this selly after that mishap. But

57
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: this reply from wee Ball. Murray responded again to WAB

58
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: you don't understand Bryant took it to the next level.

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: He was demonstrating that kan Ka Nipple is so small

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: that you could accidentally trip over him. That's an NBA

61
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: champion level taunt respect to the Nuggets legend. Wow, that

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: is a hell of a take there from Wee Ball

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: Murray that he's actually did it on purpose, is what

64
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: he's saying. It's one thing to do to the too small,

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: but he's so small that you could accidentally trip over him,

66
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: which he did.

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, and you get to actually score on him

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: on your ass.

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I guess is that small?

70
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're going for it, take it to

71
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: the next level, which is a lower level. I guess

72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: I'm good with aren't you good with it?

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: No, I'm thumbs up on retiring this. And here's why.

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with Thomas Bryant falling, because

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: that was hilarious and would be, uh maybe in the

76
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: running for the worst of the week if we were

77
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: doing that this week. Too many kids do the too

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: small celebration. You know, I watch a lot of sounds weird,

79
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: but I have to watch a lot of ten year

80
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: olds play basketball and they are pulling out the too

81
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: small celebration all the time on things that don't warrant

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: saying too small. First off, you're all small, so stop

83
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: doing it to each other. But they'll like hit a

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: three and they'll be like, oh, too small. I was like,

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. Oh my god all the time

86
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: in the YMCA leagues that I'm you know, coached, or

87
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: go and watch my godson play it. Oh yeah, there's

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: a lot of too small and you're like, nope, you're

89
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: doing no that doesn't make sense. And you hit a

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: three pointer like Steph Curry. You don't get to drop

91
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: it too small on someone else. So that's the only

92
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: reason I want to get rid of it. What about you,

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: Ash though.

94
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, like I like a good

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: too small. I'm home famous for being in the pick

96
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: up a game and hitting a Tom and Jerry. You know,

97
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: I go into the to the post and I'm like,

98
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Tom and Jerry, That's that's what I'd like to do.

99
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: I think this a little bit better than a too small.

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: But I'm like, too small?

101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: Why not?

102
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: Wait?

103
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, let's Jerry Jr. Celebration. Though it's not

104
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: a celebration. It's kind of like, well knows in the house.

105
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: Well see, that's the It's the good thing about Tom

106
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: and Jerry, right, because they both get on each other.

107
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: Right.

108
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if I if.

109
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: I'm posing up a smaller guy, I'm like, oh, Tom

110
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: and Jerry, I'm telling him mouse in the house.

111
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: It's too small.

112
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: Okay, But if I got somebody that I'm cooking, he's

113
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: six seven.

114
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying right then.

115
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, now I'm Jerry, I'm cooking him. They

116
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: never know what I'm talking about. But the guys they know,

117
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: like my teammates.

118
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: Think I like it. So you'll literally audibly say Tom

119
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: and Jerry, oh yeah, right when we're checking out, I'll

120
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: turn around.

121
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: I hit him one of these, Tom and Jerry, Tom

122
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: and Jerry.

123
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: That's very good.

124
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh I might have to have that. So you're like,

125
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: if you cook a big tall guy on the out side,

126
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: blow buy him or whatever. Yeah, yeah, little Jerry mouse

127
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: getting on Tom.

128
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: And you mentioned six seven there on purpose because you

129
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: like pulling out the six seven.

130
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: You like, you like the Easter eggs. Sixty seven is

131
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: taking over the whole entire house.

132
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: Way more than too small for kids.

133
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: Look, look, the six seven is in two k now.

134
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: You hit a three and they'll hit the no way,

135
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 3: it's in two k now fortnight.

136
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. Okay, Wow, all right, Well, let's hear from

137
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: everybody on YouTube podcast listeners. Are we retiring the two

138
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: small celebration after Thomas Bryant. As for the game, the

139
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Calves did snap a three game losing streak, so they

140
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: got a nice win there. Contributions from Mitchell and Garland,

141
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: and I thought everybody did well to be hunter, Hunter,

142
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 1: how do you have to get popped in the face

143
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: to wake them up?

144
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, broadcast was saying we've got a Willis Reid moment

145
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: because he went to the locker room and came back.

146
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: He had a great game.

147
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: He did have a good game, a whole lot of

148
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: three pointers in that game, forty five total three pointers made.

149
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: Both teams hit over twenty threes between the Calves and

150
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: the Hornets, and konk Nipple became the fastest NBA player

151
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: to hit one hundred three pointers just twenty nine games played.

152
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: Do you know who he passed? Do you see who

153
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: he passed? That?

154
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: Was it from a couple of years ago?

155
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: More than a couple of years ago. At this point,

156
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: it was shocking to me.

157
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

158
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: There was a guy who became an All Star, He

159
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: might make another All Star team, might play for the

160
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: international team. Was it Larry Markin? Yeah, that's right, Wow, Yeah,

161
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: forty one games. I think it took Lowry Markinen to

162
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: hit one hundred threes back in his Bulls days of course, right, yeah,

163
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: he was on the Bulls ye to start and then

164
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: now kon k Nipple in twenty nine games at one

165
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: hundred plus.

166
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: You want to hit three as you play the Hornets.

167
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: You go look at the high scoring games from this year.

168
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: They're all playing the Hornets because they give up shots.

169
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, moving on to our second one here,

170
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Draymond Green had a heated exchange,

171
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: a tiff whatever you want to call it, during an

172
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: early third quarter timeout on Monday night, causing Draymond Green

173
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: to leave the bench head to the locker room. Now

174
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: he would make his way back to the bench, but

175
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: he did not play in the final twenty minutes of

176
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: a Warriors win, pretty dominant win in the end, one

177
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: twenty to ninety seven over the Magic. So tasks up

178
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: or down on Steve Kerr and the Warriors benching if

179
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: you want to call it that. Draymond Green, after the

180
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: argument with Steve Kerr, what do you.

181
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: Think, Well, I'm definitely up on it. You can't show

182
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: up your coach, and that's what was happening. And I

183
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: would say this could have gotten even worse. Draymond Green

184
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: walked quietly to the locker room. He did stay and

185
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: do to do media after the game and talked about

186
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: that it's not going to linger because we're all about

187
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: winning and that's what I'm all about. So no, this

188
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: whole thing is not going to linger. It's not going

189
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: to blow over. That being said, I want to see

190
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 2: if that happens, because he did have to get removed

191
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: from the floor because he was trying to do a

192
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: little too much on the floor. He was actually having

193
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: a good game offensively. He was because he was coming

194
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: off a play where no one else touched the ball.

195
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: It was just him way at the top. Gravity was

196
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: going towards Steph Curry, so he was able to take

197
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: it all the way to the rim. And then after that,

198
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: I think what Steve Kerr was upset about. Next play,

199
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: there was a turnover where Draymond was doing the dribble

200
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: handoff with Steph. He kind of got yanked by Desmond Bain.

201
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: I don't know Steve Kerr saw this, but he kind

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: of got yanked by Desmond Bain and he didn't go

203
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: get the pass from Steff Curry. And then the next

204
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: play was even worse, where he was trying to do

205
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: a little too much and he threw the ball from

206
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: way up top. Turnover. That's the problem with Dre this year.

207
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: He's got more turnovers than made buckets. That is a problem. Again,

208
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: he was having a good offensive game. It's got the

209
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: feeling of Klay Thompson at the end of his career

210
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: with or his tenure with the Golden State Warriors, where

211
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: he's got to go to the bench at some point,

212
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: he's got to play less. Even if Drey does start,

213
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: he's got to play less. And that's where we are.

214
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: And I think he understands that, and that's what he

215
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: was saying postgame. I do understand. I'm coming to that point.

216
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: He played a couple games off the bench last year

217
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: where they were trying the whole Jonathan coming a thing.

218
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: It's if he will be able to digest it all

219
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 2: going forward is the question. I don't know, but I

220
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: think Steve Kerr has to put his foot down and

221
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: he did so.

222
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: You liked sort of how it was handled. Unfortunate that

223
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: we got the exchange or the heated argument, but like

224
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: Draymond sort of removed himself, cooled down, a litt I

225
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: guess a lot of people and back and checked on

226
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: him like throughout the game.

227
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: Apparently he came back in the fourth quarter at coron

228
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: anthemis later he SeeSat there again. He did media afterwards

229
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: where he talked the right game but it all depends

230
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: on how you act in the future on the floor,

231
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: and we know that drey does get mad in it,

232
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: but at the same time, he didn't blow up. You know,

233
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 2: all the video is just really it's just Kerr talking

234
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 2: to Draymond, because that's the best angle. Draymond doesn't get

235
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: up and get all furious and blow up and he

236
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: walks away because he thinks that's the only way he

237
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: can deal with it. So I think you can say

238
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: that's a good thing to do in that instance, he

239
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: didn't blow up. Again, you don't even see it there,

240
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: and that's what happened. And he said, we've blown up

241
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: at each other so many times, right, that's what we do, right, right, right,

242
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: And we've heard that before with every team in the

243
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: history of every NBA game even and I'm sure in

244
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: every YMCA where you got kids doing a six seven

245
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: and you're too little, people will get mad at each other.

246
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: But I think they handled it pretty well.

247
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Curse that after the game, we had it out a

248
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: little bit, he made his decision to go back to

249
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: the locker room to cool off, so, you know, reiterating

250
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: like I didn't tell him to go back or nobody

251
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: said get the hell out of here. He removed himself,

252
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: probably because he was heated and upset. Yeah, that's the

253
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: only way he could deal with it and called out

254
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's all I'm gonna say about it. Curse said,

255
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: everything is private, and like you said, Draymond talked about

256
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: it a little bit too. The thing is, it gets

257
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: the headlines because first off, it's the second game in

258
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: a row that Green has prematurely left the game, departed

259
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: the game, however you want to put it. Game before

260
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: he got tossed getting into it with Colin Gillespie, so

261
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: he didn't play a whole lot in that one. And

262
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: then this happens where he you know, again removes himself

263
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: more and then does not get put back into the game.

264
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: But the Warriors win both these games, so it actually

265
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: like worked out for them. I mean, as soon as

266
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: Draymond Green left this game, they are trailing after the turnover,

267
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: after curse, frustrated, and then what Steph Curry went nuts?

268
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: He hit like six straight shots. They pull away in

269
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, so they get the victory again after

270
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: getting that one against the Suns where he got ejected

271
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: to It's got people going, you know, like it's classic

272
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Draymond right. It's like it's one thing to put up

273
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: with his stuff when he's helping, contributing to a championship team.

274
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: It's a whole other thing when we're struggling and he's

275
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: playing poorly, all the turnovers. Obviously not much of a

276
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: threat to score, not that he ever was, so it's

277
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: like is he is he worth it? But you think

278
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: overall how he handled it was good. We'll just see

279
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: how it goes now. Yeah, because sometimes Draymond does not

280
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: let things lay. Dormant'll make a bigger deal of it.

281
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: The question is are they better with him or without him?

282
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: That's the question.

283
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: Do you think they're actually better without Draymung Green? I

284
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: don't at this point. I think limited Draymond Green, Yeah,

285
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: not playing a ton of minutes. Yeah, And then when

286
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: he does those lazy passes where the Golden State Warriors

287
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: aren't catching it, it's definitely going to the other team.

288
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes gets like it's the blessing in the curse of

289
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: playing with Steph Curry, like his entire career. Like sometimes

290
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: it looks like he's only looking for Steph Curry, you

291
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, and other teams know that,

292
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: like as you should always be looking for Steph Curry.

293
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: But I think it's like it does him a disservice

294
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: at times and gets him into trouble with some of

295
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: these turnovers. He sort of has blinders at times where

296
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: it's like only Curry can get the ball.

297
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think the problem is Steph. I think

298
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: it's just he gets Oh, it's not Steph. I'm saying, no, No,

299
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: the problem the problem with him working with stuff. I

300
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: don't think the problem is just him working with stuff.

301
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: I think he just gets loosey, goosey, and he's just

302
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: almost like feeling like, you know, I'm a champ, I

303
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: can do what I want. Where he's just too loose,

304
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: and I think he knows that, and I think he

305
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: knows that he can't be playing thirty five thirty eight

306
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: minutes anymore. But I don't know going forward, if you

307
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: don't want to just remove him, I don't think you

308
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: just want to remove him from the equation. Yeah, they

309
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: go on the run, they're fifty four to twenty six

310
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 2: the rest of their way. That was a heck of

311
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: a run, everybody working together. But I think he does

312
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: help them get better. Their attitude helps is elevated defensively

313
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: with him on the floor.

314
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: You think he still brings that enough. Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, Yeah,

315
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: here's what I saw people wondering, would you trade Draymond

316
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: Green and Jonathan Kaminga for Anthony Davis for the Warriors?

317
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: Just from the Warriors side of things, whether or not

318
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: the mass would do it, another part of the equation me, Yeah,

319
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: I would you would do that? Yeah? Okay, Well I

320
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: think that's a little telling. So you believe Draymond's good,

321
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: but you think there's a huge upgrade there in Anthony Davis.

322
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Anthony Davis is We're we're at the end

323
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: of the careers for both these guys, I mean, and

324
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: it's closer to Draymond's end than Anthony Davis's end. Uh

325
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: and Anthony Davis's question if he will play or not?

326
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you know you could put him on

327
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: the floor, wouldn't you one hundred percent.

328
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the only question is like, what's your confidence level

329
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: in eight playing? That's it because at this point in

330
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: their careers. Yeah, the Warriors, the Warriors I believe would

331
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: do that, but I think so well. I mean, I

332
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: guess you know, you got the heart and soul, and

333
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Draymond is sort of he is important to the team,

334
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: there is no doubt. But has it run its course?

335
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: How you should try something else? Can Jimmy Butler almost does?

336
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: He can he fill that vacuum enough, that type of

337
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: spirit if Draymond's not on the team and you upgrade

338
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: in a talent level offensively, maybe even defensively at this

339
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: point with Ad yeah, yeah, something.

340
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: They need a big, They need a big. Anthony Davis

341
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: had a fantastic game yesterday, absolutely balling against his old team,

342
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Pelicans. So you trade a short term

343
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: period of Anthony Davis's end of his career for Draymond's. Yeah,

344
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: we know Anthony Davis is a better offensive player. He's

345
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: really good defensible. The question is why on earth would

346
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: Dallas do that? It's for Jonathan Comenia. It's taking a

347
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: chance a guy who's literally not even in the rotation.

348
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: For the Golden State Warriors right now. So that's a

349
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: puzzling part. Listen for the Warriors, I think it's all

350
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: about defense. It's for them, they're they're happy that Pajemski's

351
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: playing well again. I mean, Moses Moody, I don't know

352
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: how long he can keep this going, but he looked

353
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: fricking amazing to be able to have the dribble game,

354
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: get into the lane pump, they get everybody in the

355
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: air and score and spin and score. You don't see

356
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: that very often. So they've got a lot of good

357
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: things going. Will Richard's got to play more. Danty Melton

358
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: shot will start going down eventually, So they got some

359
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: good things going. Al Horford maybe the sciatica heels someday.

360
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't trade him yet, but if things continue

361
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: like this, you have to sit him. I mean, you

362
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: can't have him bickering that coach.

363
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: So look, these were big wins without Draymond there for

364
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, a big chunk of it in the first

365
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: one in the win over the Suns, that that sort

366
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: of revenge win over the Suns, and then and then

367
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: this one, like if they lose these either of these

368
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: two games, like first off. The Draymond Green story is

369
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: even bigger. There's a whole lot more trade chatter, and

370
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: it's like, oh god, they're like how many games willow

371
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: five hundred this point, Like they're holding on to five

372
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: hundred with these victories, And yeah, they were pretty special

373
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: there that run in the fourth quarter, Yeah, where they win.

374
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: By a ton and they can they started running and

375
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: they started moving, and that was definitely something that you

376
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: got straight opportunities.

377
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ge Santos comes in and it's like he's not

378
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: filling up the box score, but you're playing a little differently.

379
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, some of these guys aren't going to be

380
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: able to be playable in playoff games, like Gie Sandos.

381
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: As much as he helps out and brings the energy,

382
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: there's a limit to what those guys can do. And

383
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 2: that's why I'm sure they're looking at Jonathan Kaming and

384
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: hoping that he would be part of it. Like they

385
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: they're limited right here and right now. It would be

386
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 2: great to have al Horford Beeck. It's great to see Pods,

387
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: who I think has a higher ceiling than a lot

388
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: of these guys, play the way he is. But that's

389
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: why you probably just keep drey around. You want to

390
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 2: keep him around because he's got that attitude. That being said, again,

391
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: it could have been way worse postgame. You could have said,

392
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: I'm a freaking four time CHAMPI I could freaking do

393
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: whatever I want out there. Again, he could have been

394
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: way more of an a hole.

395
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he down played it for the most part, though

396
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: he did sort of slip in something like I didn't

397
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: even have that bad a game, Like when it came

398
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: to the turnovers and stuff like that.

399
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: When he has more buckets than turnovers, it's a good Draymond.

400
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 2: He had four buckets and one turnover when he's got

401
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 2: more turnovers than buckets this season.

402
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: So that is scary.

403
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: That is scary when it comes to dre He's playing

404
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 2: it again like Clay did at the of his Warriors tenders.

405
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: He's saying the right thing, and he hasn't gone to

406
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: the bench yet like Clay did this season. That would

407
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: be tough for him, I imagine. So this is this

408
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: is not done. It's not done. I don't think you

409
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: think we'll be rather Draymond Green story. I'd probably I'd

410
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: be stupid to say that we're not going to see

411
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: Draymond get mad again. I mean that would be we're

412
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: watching the same games for the last fourteen years of

413
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: Draymond's career. We know what's coming.

414
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next one here. Zion Williamson scored twenty

415
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: four points, including ten straight in the fourth QUEU, to

416
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: power the Pelicans to a one nineteen, one to thirteen

417
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: victory over the Mavericks. He said eighty did play well

418
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: for Dallas. He did. But the Pelicans extended their season

419
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: long win streak to five games. That's their longest winning

420
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: streaks winning streak since twenty twenty two. That's surprised me.

421
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: So my question for you is up or down on

422
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the Pelicans playing chances after this great little run here

423
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: winning five straight.

424
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: I'm going a horizontal thumb. I can't go thumbs up.

425
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 2: I can't go thumbs no. Yeah I'm not.

426
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm you got that fence up your ass.

427
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: No that I'm living in the truth. Listen. Recency bias

428
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: would say, oh, this team is in it, but listen,

429
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: as much as the ten playoff play in spots are

430
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: good for the game, and New Orleans can look at

431
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: it and say, oh, we're almost there, there's four and

432
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: a half back, but there's still four and a half back,

433
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: and there's even a team in between them and the

434
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 2: play and the Dallas Mavericks, who we're going to get

435
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving back. I would be worried about the Jazz. Yeah,

436
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: the Jazz are alive, for sure, but there's just too

437
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: many teams. There's too many parts moving that are working

438
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: against them. That's the scary part. I'm silver great, playing great.

439
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 2: This team has hope that then they're way deeper in

440
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: the Western Conference standings than you could say that about

441
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: for other teams. You can say that for other teams

442
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: in years past. But like Portland is probably going to

443
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: get a Drew Holiday back one day, Scoot Henderson has

444
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 2: to play basketball eventually, he's been out the whole time.

445
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: Shadon Sharp looks freaking awesome. Phoenix. They announced that Jalen

446
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: Green will be back, will be reevaluated in two to

447
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: three weeks, So you could say, well, that guy, that

448
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: guy's out. Maybe Phoenix drops out, But again, Dallas is

449
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: going to get a Kyrie Irving back. That being said,

450
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: watching New Orleans, they're playing their best players again or

451
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: not again, they're playing them in a new role with

452
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: Derek Queen and now Zion Williamson is playing with Derek Queen.

453
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: Those two guys in the fourth quarter yesterday looked great.

454
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: They're playing dribble handoff. Those two guys working together. They're

455
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: super fun there. They're on the same page. The numbers

456
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: are great looking at the advanced that's when those guys

457
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: are playing to.

458
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: You continue to bring Zion Williamson off the bench. This

459
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: is working. It's wild.

460
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, for now, for sure. It's such a different balance.

461
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: It's it's it's odd because Jordan Poole Zion Williamson coming

462
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: off the bench together, when these guys are paid a

463
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: lot of money. But they closed really well in this game.

464
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: Both those guys pool had a back game to start.

465
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: This game was terrible. Fourth quarter everything clicked.

466
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: That's some of the hardest I've seen Jordan Poole play

467
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: in a while too.

468
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: He was playing hard that one quarter for sure.

469
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yes, okay, the start was rough, but

470
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is the whole situation coming

471
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: off the bench both him and Zion, like you're seeing

472
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: some life from them at the very least. Yeah, giving

473
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: a damn. It was nice to hear the Smoothie King

474
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: center bump into Yeah, obviously saw the crowd or watching

475
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: this game few and far between. This year. Obviously you

476
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: get some winning basketball going. You've got the rookies that

477
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: are promising. There was some life to that building, like

478
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: it was it was. You know a lot of people

479
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: are always like, oh, it's as quiet as a freaking

480
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: church and all that, and it is from time we

481
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: have our friends here in Atlanta, like, oh, we should

482
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: go sit courtside in New Orleans and giving these seats away. Yeah,

483
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: but last night and these last couple, there is a

484
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: vibe there now because they're playing hard basketball or you know,

485
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: competitive basketball. Yeah, but you know, I do wonder with

486
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 1: the whole zion of it all. Ten or fourteen last night,

487
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: twenty four and nine off the bench and like a

488
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: stretch there down the like you scored like five of

489
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: the six possessions, Like, does this make it more likely

490
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: they try and move them because they're building his trade

491
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: value back up? Or now are you sticking with this

492
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: and you have them in a weird position. I don't

493
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: know what they do.

494
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: Oh, so do you think that they can make the

495
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: playoffs because you made it seem I think.

496
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: They could because they can't tank. There's no point for

497
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: them to tank. That pick ain't theirs. So there. As

498
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: the season goes on, No, we get into February, we

499
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: get into Mickey Mouse March, some of these other teams,

500
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe the Jazz, maybe the Mavericks. You never know, they

501
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: might start leaning towards Okay, do we really need these wins?

502
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't want to be in a play, and

503
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: maybe we want to help our odds to get into

504
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: a high lottery pick where they won't be doing that.

505
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: So that's why I think it's possible. They are four

506
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: and a half back, but there it's still not even

507
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: twenty six yet.

508
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's too many good teams in the way.

509
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: That being said, yeah, they look better. James Barrego is

510
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: coaching that a team that's playing harder in late game situations.

511
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: I like the double that he went to for Anthony Davis,

512
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: who was balling to start this game, and then the

513
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: fourth quarter they got the ball out of his hands.

514
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: That worked. They also sent bodies at Klay Thompson, who

515
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: had twenty points in the first half zero in the

516
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: second half, so that definitely helped. But a lot of

517
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: it was. Yeah, this effort by Jordan Poole and Zion Webson.

518
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole took a charge, he had a steal, he

519
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: made a couple threes there, so he had ten points

520
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: in that fourth quarter. He was balling and Zion on

521
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 2: the other side. I mean, he had a perfect fourth

522
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: quarter three for three from the field, four from four,

523
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: a four from the line, ten points, three boards, two assays,

524
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 2: zero turnovers. And this is two games after he sat

525
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter versus Houston. He didn't play in

526
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: that fourth quarter where James Brado said no, we're coming back,

527
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: you're sitting. And so now he's played in a couple

528
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: fourth quarters, he looks better. But I don't think you

529
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: just say, hey, this is your team. I think it's

530
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: working well, jelling Derrek Queen and him, and then it

531
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: was Pool, it was Sidik Bay and Trey Murphy those

532
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: five at the end because Herb Jones also was injured.

533
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: Hopefully he comes back, but that lineup looked really good.

534
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: I just don't think that they can overcome what they

535
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: need to overcome. And yeah, you said Mickey Mouse March,

536
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: I feel like December has a bit of a little

537
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: little run here where sometimes you can just beat teams

538
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: right here, right during the holidays. Some teams don't show up.

539
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: You look at it throughout the throughout the entire NBA schedule.

540
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just get a w here there.

541
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, five wins, it's it's long.

542
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: I mean, they're they're nearing that seven game winning streak

543
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: that you said was in twenty twenty two. That was

544
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: the longest winning streak of Willie Green's ten years a

545
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: head coach.

546
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: That was near the end of that year.

547
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, so maybe they didn't get there, But it's

548
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: the West. Yeah, you dug yourself a hole. It's tough,

549
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: that's the thing.

550
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: Have you the it was the hole too deep for

551
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: you to climb out. And starting three and twenty two,

552
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: obviously eight and twenty two now after the five game

553
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: win streak. But but but look, I come with some

554
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: bias here because when we were doing our picks in

555
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 1: the preseason I had the Pelicans over because I was like,

556
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: I believed if Zion and Trey Murphy and Herb Jones

557
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 1: just played in half the games that they're like a

558
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: pretty decent team with all the other pieces as well.

559
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: Now you know, like those guys are in and out

560
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: of the lineup and it's still not perfect, and he

561
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: said Herb Jones gets injured again, Jesus Murphy. But then

562
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: you get something from these rooks in Queen and Fears.

563
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm getting at is, like all these

564
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: teams you were listing in the Play and Race either

565
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: in or trying to get in, the Pelicans at times

566
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: when they have their guys seem like a better team

567
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: than most of these squads. And that's not even shade

568
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: against those other teams. I just like, guess I sort

569
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: of believe in them when they're all out there. Yeah,

570
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know, look, they're going to make a

571
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: go for it because they don't have any other option.

572
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Like I said, unlest they somehow acquire a draft pick

573
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: in a Zion trade where they get a lottery pick, unlikely,

574
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: I think of any note. At least, they're going to

575
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: go for wins here because why wouldn't you.

576
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I took the over two preseason. They're looking

577
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: better and it helps being here in Disney December as

578
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: still with the thirty thirty seven called it in stream

579
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: team it's a good name for it. Or we're going

580
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: to see some Disney action on Christmas Day where We're

581
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 2: going to see an annimated game.

582
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: We're going to see Donald Duck do the too small celebration.

583
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: So maybe we should call it Donald Duck December. You

584
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: got Mickey Mouse March, Donald Duck December.

585
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: There you go. Not bad, not bad at all. Potentially,

586
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: any final thoughts are on the pills or are they

587
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: going to keep going?

588
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:21,479
Speaker 3: Now?

589
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: We can keep let's keep going. Jayalen Brown scored fourteen

590
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: of his game high thirty one points in the final

591
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: quarter as a Celtics rallied from a twenty point second

592
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: half deficit for a victory over the Pacers last night.

593
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: So Boston eighteen and eleven NBA's seventh best net rating,

594
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: way better than some of us thought they would be

595
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: with no Jason Tatum this year. So instead of chasing

596
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: lottery balls, they're third in the Eastern Conference task Jason

597
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: Tatum keeps telling people in the organization, Hey, I'm coming back.

598
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I want to play this season. We'll see. But my

599
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: question in the updown report is are you up and

600
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 1: down on the Celtics making a win now move before

601
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: the February fifth NBA tre deadline seeing as they are

602
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: playing so well and maybe you can even upgrade the

603
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: roster up or down on that idea. I'm up on

604
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: them doing it.

605
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: I think Brad Stevens is thinking about it, making calls

606
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: about it, but I'm down on it actually happening. I

607
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: don't think they have the proper players, proper money to

608
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: go out to get a player like that. If you

609
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: look at it, they're top guys. The big name contract

610
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: or the big dollar contracts aren't going out. Tatum Brown,

611
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: Derek White, even Peyton Pritchard do you get down to

612
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: so there just isn't a lot of money to go out.

613
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: Anthony Simons would be the one that could be dealt

614
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: for a decent player. He makes twenty seven million dollars.

615
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: But is there somebody that another team would give up

616
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: to help Boston's championship pedigree attitude run. Because I do

617
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: think Brad Stevens is looking at and saying we want

618
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: to build a championship team. I totally think that. I

619
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: totally think that this keeps on going forward with Brown

620
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: and Tatum as their guys after trading Drew Holliday and

621
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Christaps Porsns. I think they're in such a good position

622
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: to do that. I just don't know if they have

623
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: the right money to go out. I think the trade

624
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: exception that they have via the Kristaps Porzingis trade, a

625
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: twenty five million dollar trade exception, sounds good. You can't

626
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: bundle that with other contracts. It's a one contract only

627
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 2: going for the trade exception. You can't add a number

628
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 2: to that to be able to bring back more sellar.

629
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: You can't add a player to that and say, oh, well,

630
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: we'll get a forty million dollar player back. I just

631
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: don't know if Anthony Simons for one of these guys,

632
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 2: is really going to work out. And you know, the

633
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: Walsh Cada might not. Hohogo Gonzalez growth is awesome, they

634
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: don't make a lot of money. I don't see them

635
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: going out. I see them keeping those guys. So I

636
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: don't see it really happening. But I'd love to be

637
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: beside Brad Stevens making those calls, seeing what other teams

638
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: have to offer.

639
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: I think they'd be willing to.

640
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: They want to build this thing, and I don't think

641
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: they fear anybody in the Eastern Conference. I think they

642
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: really think they can hang with the Knicks or whoever,

643
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 2: and so they want to go for.

644
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens says the team is open to the idea

645
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: of improving the team to increase their short term chances

646
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: of competing for a title. He said, quote, there's nothing

647
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: holding us back necessarily from that is what he told

648
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: reporters by way of CLNS. He added, though, quote there's

649
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things that have to go right in

650
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: a deal, and that the front office is still assessing

651
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: this year's team. So even this great record and Jalen

652
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Brown obviously showing that he can lead a team, and

653
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: these guys coming on and a lot of internal growth,

654
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, for some of these younger guys, I'm

655
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: with you, though, they're not really in a position outside

656
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: of Anthony Simon's maybe Sam Hauser's contract, and then smaller deals.

657
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be around the fringes. If they're making

658
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: sort of move, maybe it's a big to help out

659
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: Kita and some of these other younger guys, but it's unlikely.

660
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: I think you just like this is a good problem

661
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: to have, Like if they were terrible, we're not talking

662
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: about this right, We're saying, like, Okay, they're not making

663
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: any upgrades of the deadline Tatum, they're going to slow

664
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: play that. He probably won't even come back. So the

665
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: fact that we're even having this conversation is amazing. And

666
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: against weeks to Jalen Brown leading this team and Joe

667
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Mazzulla's coaching. He's a psycho still and it works for

668
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: this team. But I just don't think they don't have

669
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: the money still to throw around. Yeah, they're under the

670
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: second apron, but they're still twelve point one million above

671
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: the luxury tax line. They want to avoid, maybe the

672
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: repeater tax, so they may want to actually still make

673
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: the books a little bit better, right, getting off Simon's contract,

674
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: maybe howser again, other things they could do that and

675
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: maybe not help the team on the floor, but maybe

676
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: just bring in Jason Tatum back is enough too. I mean,

677
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: like you said, I don't think they're afraid of anybody. No,

678
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: they're not in the Eastern Conference, like the Knicks would

679
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 1: be tough with their bigs in Kat Mitchell Robinson. That

680
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: would be tough for the Celtic. That seems like a

681
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: limitation for them. But yeah, you know, again, a good

682
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: team with an identity bringing back Tatum, it's dangerous. So

683
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: we'll see.

684
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: So I think in theory, because the Knicks would would

685
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: threaten them with their bigs. There's no doubt the Knicks

686
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: look like the team to be Yes, Oh they are,

687
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: they are for sure. I think the Celtics would be

688
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: willing to get a big But you know, I'm not

689
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: the financial guy when it comes to the NBA financials.

690
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what Brad Stevens looks at and says, oh, no,

691
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: we can't, we can't add that, because the whole purpose

692
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: of trading Drew Hollidin Kristaps Porzingis was to get under that. Yeah,

693
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: get get real low, help out those new owners, but

694
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: also just build for the future. And it ain't just

695
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: a short term thing. You know. They're they're trying to

696
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 2: pull off what the Okacs the Spurs are doing. They're

697
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: trying to slow play it. They ain't going all in,

698
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: you know, pre flop. They're there. If they got a fold,

699
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: they got a fold, and they'll come out. They'll come

700
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: out for the second, third, fourth, fifth hand. And so

701
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if there is I mean, the Simons

702
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: plus Houser not bad, you know, thirty five mil. Yeah,

703
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: maybe there is somebody out there. There is I was

704
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: looking at bigs. Is there a big out there for them.

705
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: Who's on the list.

706
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't really come up with anybody that

707
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: would help their championship right here, right now, tradable bigs.

708
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: It's not drama, who is it? I mean, I didn't

709
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: have anybody.

710
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: They're not making a move for Anthony Davis by any means.

711
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: No, again, is this is it's a long term play. Yeah,

712
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: and that's why I think Draymond for Anthony Davis. Draymond

713
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: coming of Anthonys makes sense for the Warriors because they

714
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: want to win now. This is the end of Steph's tenure.

715
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Is But this is what we're contemplating with the Celtics,

716
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: and Brad Stevens has to decide like can we win now? Yeah?

717
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: Can we making the right move here?

718
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? First, we don't know how well Tatum is going

719
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: to play this year.

720
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: No, and we don't even know if he is going

721
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: to He can say always.

722
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: Want coming back, He's coming back.

723
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: Record thinking Kyrie is coming back coming back?

724
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: So ID buy that? Yeah?

725
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: We just we just talked about the Pelicans.

726
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: Jon de Murray would tore his achilles like eleven eleven

727
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: months ago. It's nearly eleven months ago. We haven't heard

728
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: a thing about him they have they have parts to trade.

729
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: But do the Celtics have. No.

730
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,239
Speaker 2: The Celtics aren't going to get anything to help their

731
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 2: championship team. They don't want to Wing want a Nerd

732
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: Jones or Tree Murphy. I'm just trying to think of

733
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: guys that would Missy.

734
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: He's missing. Move the needle. All right, final one here.

735
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg will be a game analyst on Peacock's Warriors

736
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: versus Clippers game on Monday, January fifth. So Snoop is

737
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna call the game's second half action from court side

738
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: with Terry Gannon and Reggie Miller. Task. Are you up

739
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: or down on Snoop Dogg calling Warriors Clippers on Peacock

740
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: in the New Year? Oh yeah, let's do it. Yeah.

741
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 2: What I love about this is that this guy's living

742
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: the life. He only has to work for half a game.

743
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: That made me laugh so hard. He doesn't have to do.

744
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: A thing for the first half.

745
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Let me redo the press release because this also made

746
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: me laugh. In order to prepare for calling live game action,

747
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: Snoop will watch game film. Yeah yeah, He'll watch the

748
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: Clippers and Warriors shoot arounds. He'll attend the production meetings

749
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: and he'll provide fans with his unique perspective on the

750
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: game sitting court side, and I guess he'll watch the

751
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: first half and then put on the headset and tell

752
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: you what he saw in the first half, and then

753
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: be on the call for the second half.

754
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I read that release. He doesn't have to work,

755
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: he has to watch film. But yeah, yeah, yeah, he's

756
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: got to make sure he watches the tape. This guy

757
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: can do whatever he wants. Okay, I'm sure he's going

758
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: to help out with NBC's Olympics. He's going to do it.

759
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: You can bet your ass he's doing that. That's why

760
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: they're doing this, Yeah, to tie in, ye help out. Yeah, hey,

761
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: next month, I'll be talking to Mike Tarico every night

762
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: during the Winter Olympics. Like I think he has his

763
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: own show in primetime or whatever. You know. There's an

764
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: Odeen segment at the very least, yeah, where he talks

765
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: about the Winter Olympics. And that's sort of funny to me, Yeah,

766
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: because it's like, what does Snoop Dog know about the

767
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics. He was obviously heavily involved in the Summer

768
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: Olympics that we just had, and it was I guess

769
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: some people found it entertaining. I know he got a

770
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: lot of press for it.

771
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: Mah. I mean, he just did a segment with Luca

772
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: or it was him one on one with Lucas, so

773
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: maybe he knows more about the game now.

774
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you say that he's on a warrior's

775
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: Clippers game. Snoop is a noted Lakers fan mm hm.

776
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: In fact, I think there are many tweets where he

777
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: ships on the Clippers, like he makes fun of them

778
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: because he's a Lakers fanesn't like the Clippers. Yeah, but

779
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: he's on the call here.

780
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 2: That's the right thing to do.

781
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: Say something.

782
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he may say something, but the good thing that

783
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 2: they have they don't have him working extremely hard. He

784
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 2: is the second analyst or the first an whatever. He's

785
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: working with Reggie as the analyst. He ain't calling the

786
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: play by play. That's Terry Gannon's job. So it's not

787
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: like he can f it up and make it sound

788
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: bad or doing a terrible chop, you know what I mean. Ye, Like,

789
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: he's an analyst that can help out and chime in,

790
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 2: and he's obviously scaled on the mic. He can do

791
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 2: what he wants, what.

792
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: Do you think ash are you you're a fan of

793
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: Snoop gonna be on this call here? Uh?

794
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it'd be pretty hilarious, you know, Like

795
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: I think he's just gonna hop in there is ship

796
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 3: Boy based Snoop d O double G coming down the course.

797
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: Step Currie h step back with the three.

798
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: Oh you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm gonna be like, yeah,

799
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: this is what it is. It's just gonna be funny. Okay, Yeah, yeah.

800
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: Might be funny to hear the highlights of him. I

801
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it'll be fundy for an entire half.

802
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why they're only doing a half. Yeah, nobody

803
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: wants to hear that for forty eight minutes for two hours.

804
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I think he he'll probably

805
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: just say a couple of words and then it'll turn

806
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: into an interview.

807
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: You know.

808
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 3: Every time they have like a slow call in a game,

809
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 3: like they'll say a couple of things and then it's

810
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 3: just like, well, Snoop, what have you been up too lately?

811
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: And then he'll say a couple of things and then

812
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 3: they'll get the call in the game, like it's just

813
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 3: gonna be all over the place, So it'll it'll it'll

814
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 3: be fun for a little bit at least.

815
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And just to confirm, in February, Snoop will provide

816
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: the large US primetime audience with his wintry take on

817
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: what's happening in northern Italy during the Winter Olympics Covery.

818
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: That's what it says in the press release, his wintry take.

819
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Did he do something with it? Was it Kevin Hart?

820
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart? He definitely did. Yeah, yeah, he really Yeah,

821
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: he really sort of like latched onto the Olympics. He

822
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: found a lane with the Olympics, Snoop did. He was

823
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: everywhere during the Summer Olympics, like we did that Summer

824
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: Olympics podcast meon Noora hear from the factory. I mean

825
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: he was everywhere and like he was involved. They'll give

826
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 1: him that. He wasn't half ass in the Olympics. He

827
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: might be half an hour in this game, but he

828
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: wasn't doing that with the Olympics, right, He actually worked,

829
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: it felt like.

830
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 2: And he was working with who is he doing shows with?

831
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Hardy just said, oh it was hard Yeah.

832
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: Maybe Keenan. Why does it feel like Keenan? H I

833
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: don't know what it was.

834
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you know, he's done a lot of shows.

835
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: He's done the Martha Stewart Show, He's done it all.

836
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: He's clicking Snoop likes a payday.

837
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and it does make sense here, like you're

838
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: you're saying, esh, like they just kind of go off

839
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: and you know, amble about this or that, and this

840
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: may be a blowout in the second half, the Clippers

841
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: getting spanked by the Warriors. You know, so this is

842
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: the perfect time to put him on.

843
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's hear if you're over Snoop or not

844
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: thumbs up er thumbs down him calling Warriors Clippers. That's

845
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: in early January. I said, I think what I say

846
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: January fifth, I think, all right, we're gonna take a

847
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: quick break and when we come back, we got some

848
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: Christmas questions for tassin I to tackle. Don't anywhere.

849
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: The NBA doesn't take a day off around the holidays.

850
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,640

878
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: It's crazy, huh are we sure? Yeah? Anyway, it's weird.

879
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: It's just weird how it all works. We're all working

880
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: it out here. But you got to you got an

881
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: ad with just a pre and a post or a

882
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 2: show with the pre and post ads.

883
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: We'll see the problem. Like I'm seeing the comments on Spotify,

884
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: people are one. Yes, there are ads, maybe way more

885
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: than there used to be. There's more than there used

886
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: to be. Okay, I understand that's podcast. Yeah, we do

887
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: have to make money. Uh. And two people missed the

888
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: Cold Opens, which we've I don't know if we said

889
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: it on the air. I think we have. Like we

890
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: had to get rid of the Cold Open because we

891
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: started getting like copyright issues for some of them on YouTube.

892
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: So that was becoming a complication. You know, we share

893
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: some weird video, some random video from Instagram or TikTok,

894
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: and then suddenly we're getting like slapped with a copyright issue.

895
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: So like that wasn't worth a headache, so we had

896
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: to remove those. So I get it, I get it.

897
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: But ad free, baby, that's the way to go. Subs

898
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: technink in the show notes. Okay, Christmas questions, Like I said,

899
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: final show from the Factory this week because Christmas is

900
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: on Thursday. We've done a few of these questions before.

901
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: Task first one, who's on your NBA Naughty or Nice list?

902
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: Well, Evan mobiley has been naughty and that he hasn't

903
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: been himself. I just don't recognize that Mobile thought he

904
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: would take that next step. You know, having his back

905
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: every single year of his career and watching him grow

906
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 2: has been fantastic. This year, you just ain't himself. Now

907
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 2: he's stepping out and shooting more threes. You can look

908
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: at that. It's a good or bad thing. He's getting

909
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: to the free throw line more. Actually, you know, his

910
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: free throw right is very very good, but his free

911
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 2: throw percentage not so good. The worst of his career.

912
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: I just don't recognize the guy.

913
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: I think not.

914
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: He hasn't been as good defensively. If you look at it,

915
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: eye test doesn't look all I could numbers wise, the

916
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 2: defensive wind shares down. I mean, his usage is down

917
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 2: a little bit. He just ain't the same guy. He

918
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: ain't finishing the way he used to finish. He hasn't

919
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 2: taken that next level, next step, I should say, Now,

920
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: the calves are a whole mess, and I think that

921
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 2: may have played a part into how Evan Mobile is playing.

922
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,240
Speaker 2: But naughty or nice. He ain't naughty himself. He seems

923
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: like a very nice guy. He does, but the game,

924
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: the game ain't the same. Something's going on there.

925
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: And he of course has the Grade one left calf strain,

926
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: so he is going to be still missing a couple

927
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: weeks here right, that was mid December, and they said

928
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: two to four weeks. Can't imagine we're seeing him before

929
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, right right into the new Year's Well,

930
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: we'll see him back.

931
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, teams have to play the calf injuries slow. That's

932
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: what they're doing out there these days. So they'll probably

933
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: veer more towards like three four weeks, I imagine.

934
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's there's no doubt that there's some disappointment

935
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: there because last year the guy won Defensive Player of

936
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: the Year, he was an All Star, he made an

937
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: All NBA team, obviously was on the All Defensive Team.

938
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: I think he got I think he garnered a few

939
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: end of the ballot MVP votes if I remember correctly, too. Yeah,

940
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: like there's there's the trajectory as of a twenty three,

941
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: twenty four year old guy to keep going. I mean

942
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: the same thing, if we're being honestars happened with Scottie

943
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: Barnes too, right? You had the All Star season, everybody's

944
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: like here we go, and then they sort of they

945
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: like both of them have like hit a little bit

946
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: of a wall and maybe like, oh, they're really good players?

947
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: Are they really really great players that we sort of

948
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: all thought or like hope they would be still verdicts

949
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: out a bit maybe on both those guys, but yeah,

950
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: it's it's a disappointing year for him and the Calves,

951
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: like you said, like sort of amazing that they are

952
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: where they are right now in the Eastern Conference sixteen

953
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: and fourteen seventh. H Like everybody thought they would be

954
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: like a lock for the one or.

955
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: Two seeds every game, every starting lineup they try and

956
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: put out, there ain't right now.

957
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Who do you have on your nice list?

958
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: You have? Yeah, well to go to my nice list.

959
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to see. I wanted to get a full

960
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 2: on deep dive into yannistatic Gumbo's press or his press

961
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: conference that he did last week. We didn't talk about it. Really,

962
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: nobody talked about He got to the mic while he

963
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: was injured on December eighteenth. I think he was standing up.

964
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw him. He's wearing a

965
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 2: puffy Nike jacket. He's set there for like twenty twenty

966
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 2: five minutes. Nobody really talked about it, and now.

967
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: The one didn't say anything.

968
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 2: No, the one thing that was making headlines was basically

969
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: he he sort of implied that his agent does his

970
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,280
Speaker 2: own thing, and that people were saying, oh, he's passing

971
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: it off to his agent. He may have requested a

972
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 2: trade or wants a trade, but he's basically saying it's

973
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 2: his agent who does it. And to quote him, he said,

974
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: he's his own man. He can talk who he wants

975
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: to talk to. It's not something you can control. At

976
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I don't work for my agent.

977
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: My agent works for me. I mean he really turned

978
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: it turned it around there for a second, like hold.

979
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: On, hold on. He just said his agent works for him,

980
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: but I can't control him.

981
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he can go, he can go, well yeah,

982
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: he he basically saying he's his own person. He can

983
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 2: do go, have talks now Yanis could tell him, yeah,

984
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 2: don't talk to anybody. Yeah, So that's so that's that's

985
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 2: why I say it too much. That's why I had

986
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: the deep dive and see like, is he making requests

987
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 2: by you know, passing up passing the buck onto Alex. Yeah,

988
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 2: Alex sarratsis his agent. It was a deep dive. It

989
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 2: was deep twenty five minutes. He didn't look super comfortable.

990
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: But I feel like he thought I got to address

991
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 2: the media a little bit, but there just wasn't a

992
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: lot of headlines. I mean, he basically he said a

993
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: lot of things. I enjoyed it. He also said that

994
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: he can't he can't control his wife either. Every every

995
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: every day, his wife Maria go to target and he's

996
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 2: and he tells him, He tells her, you don't got

997
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: to go to target, but she goes and I can't

998
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: control her.

999
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: She's her own person. So that was pretty funny.

1000
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 2: But then he, you know, he then he dug into

1001
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: you know, playing or being with the team. Right now,

1002
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 2: it's all about us making the extra pass, digging deep.

1003
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: Who are we making the extra pass? Where the winners?

1004
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: We got to dig deeper. He also said he's been

1005
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 2: approached by his teammates. I'm straight with them. Whatever that

1006
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: might be. Someone asked me about now, he didn't say

1007
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: it was his teammate, but somebody, he said, somebody was

1008
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: asking me about deleting my buck stuff from my media.

1009
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: Remember that, Yeah, and he.

1010
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: Said, what does that even mean? What does that even mean?

1011
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: If I delete stuff from my accounts, I still have

1012
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 2: the championship banner, I still have the cup celebration or whatever.

1013
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 2: You know. He kind of passed that on as well.

1014
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: You know, so I was just wondering. I don't know,

1015
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: to wrap it all up, he basically said. When a

1016
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: reporter asked him, do you hope all the rumors end?

1017
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: He goes, do I hope it ends?

1018
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: Yes? Do I think it'll end?

1019
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 2: No. When people see cracks, they see opportunity to get

1020
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 2: in those cracks.

1021
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, So.

1022
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 2: He feels that people will apply pressure when his team

1023
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 2: isn't performing and the rumors are there, and he allows

1024
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: the rumors to be out there. So I guess he's saying,

1025
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 2: I guess we're not getting that good, So that you

1026
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 2: could easily interpret that is him saying I'm leaving. So

1027
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: all that to say, he's very nice, but as far

1028
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: as the naughty and nice lists go, I'd say in

1029
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: this case, he didn't squash anything.

1030
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: He sounds like he made it worse, is what you're saying.

1031
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, or maybe he didn't because we barely

1032
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: talked about it at this point. Like it just feels

1033
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: like they're sort of all mishandling this because him, maybe

1034
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: his representatives, and then the box too, and maybe that's

1035
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: just me saying what are we doing here? Like eventually

1036
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: you're going to be trading him the only thing that

1037
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: I get, or you're asking for a trade request but

1038
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: you're sort of not but you are, So which one

1039
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: is it?

1040
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: So like, yeah, he didn't squash anything. The only thing

1041
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,479
Speaker 2: that made the headlines again was him saying, I don't

1042
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: control my agent. He has it's his own job, but

1043
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 2: he also works for me. So yeah, he could be leaving.

1044
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 2: He's going to play hard for these next couple months,

1045
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: I think. And it's again, I still believe he wants

1046
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: to be faithful for this team. But if they're but

1047
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 2: you know, if they're in twelfth or thirteenth in the

1048
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference, which there is a chance, you know they're

1049
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: sitting here and he knew he did mention verbatim that

1050
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 2: they're in eleventh when he was doing this, you know

1051
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: they're only two and a half out of the play

1052
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 2: in So I still think he'll stick around if they

1053
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: can move up and not down, because right here, right now,

1054
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 2: without him, they come to play sometimes, but they're losing games.

1055
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: But you're also you're basically saying, I'm putting words of

1056
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: your mouth. If they don't make a move before the deadline,

1057
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: then it's a rap because you keep believing that, like,

1058
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: they should go for it. They must, Yeah for Jhanna

1059
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: sticking around Milwaukee long term, long turning too, because you

1060
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: know they don't have much to do it. But you're saying,

1061
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: he has given them his word, I will be there

1062
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: for the season, and they owe it to him to

1063
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: obviously be as aggressive as you can without obviously completely

1064
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: screwing your future. That's what I've brought up before. It's like,

1065
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: at a certain point, you can't just keep trading away everything.

1066
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: They're pushing him and his agent are pushing. I believe

1067
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 2: the Bucks to make a trade to help their team

1068
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: right here, right now, to trade one of those tradable picks.

1069
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: They literally have one of their own tradable picks and and.

1070
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: So then we're like, is Zach Levine gonna help the

1071
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks right win a playoff series, let alone compete

1072
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: for a championship. The answer is probably no, he would help.

1073
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: You know, you go back and forth because they do

1074
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 2: play hard defensively, they need somebody. They need a bucket.

1075
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 2: Kho's mean, ain't that bucket? I love Ryan Rollins, but

1076
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard to depend on him game in

1077
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 2: and game out. Miles Turner, ain't that bucket? They need

1078
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 2: a bucket. I think on the defensive end, they're a

1079
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 2: little bit more comfortable with who they are. So and

1080
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 2: they ain't good. I mean, they're just not good.

1081
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: They're especially without Joannis on my nice list. I really

1082
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: focused on the nice part here. Bobby Marx at ESPN,

1083
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: he dropped his NBA All Value Team yesterday, which I

1084
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: thought was fun. These were like different difference makers who

1085
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: are outplaying their contracts, and he had like stipulations. It

1086
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 1: was basically like, cannot make more than three million dollars

1087
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: in a season, can't be signed to a first or

1088
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: second round exception, So like no Cooper Flag, no Weebinyama,

1089
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: or you can't have more than six years of NBA experience.

1090
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: So it's like all these guys, a lot of two

1091
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: way guys that have been converted into like small contracts

1092
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: that are contributing. It's just the fun list. I mean

1093
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: the Spencer brothers top of the list, both of them. Yeah,

1094
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 1: Pat Spencer with the Warriors. Do you see Jimmy Butler

1095
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: wearing his across jersey? Yeah? That was pretty well, that's

1096
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 1: pretty cool. How the hell do you get that? That's

1097
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: not something you can buy on it? No, Like, does

1098
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 1: he have to reach out to He's got Champ Spencer

1099
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: or the Spencer family. Hey, can you send me one

1100
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: of his old jerseys?

1101
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 2: Age?

1102
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: Or do you reach out to the university? Maybe I

1103
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: thinks he could do that.

1104
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: Pat's got an agent, Okay, agent, Okay.

1105
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: So he goes behind Uh, he has to go behind

1106
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: Pat's back. Can't ask Pat Spencer? Hey, man, can I

1107
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: get a lacrosse jersey and then show up wearing it?

1108
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't think right right? You got to go to

1109
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: the agent, go to the family, go to the university. Anyway,

1110
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: he's been awesome, as Bobby said, all value team captain.

1111
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: Maybe Pat Spencer. The Warriors are like plus eight point

1112
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: one points per one hundred possessions when Pat Spencer's been

1113
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: on the floor here, and this is a guy that

1114
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: makes He makes like six hundred thousand dollars.

1115
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 2: That's like lacrosse money.

1116
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: That's cross money right there. So he's a two way guy.

1117
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: Cam Spencer's brother obviously great on the Grizzlies too. He

1118
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: makes two point five million. He's rich compared to his brother,

1119
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: but he's played great two I would assume we're gonna

1120
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: see him in the three point contest. This came up.

1121
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 1: A guy's shooting like fifty percent from deep. Be fun

1122
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: to get him in there. Help put both of them in.

1123
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: Let the Spencer other bros. Put the Spencer brother bros.

1124
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: In there. Put the Curry brother bros. In there too.

1125
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: So he's on an awesome deal. And then his other

1126
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: names like AJ Mitchell with the Thunder he makes three

1127
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: million dollars. That's it. Uh, Colin Gillespie, your guy, you

1128
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: love him. He makes two point four million. Really good

1129
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: for the Suns this year. Kaita with the Celtics. They

1130
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: picked him up off the scrap heap, Dominic Barlow, Spencer, Jones,

1131
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: Jock Landell, like these type of guys. Ryan Nemhard, Brandon Williams,

1132
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: Vit Crachie, Mamo, Julian Champenny, Javonte Green, and Dannis Jenkins.

1133
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: I'll get them all in there for you. But anyway,

1134
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: it was a fun article because it's like, oh, yeah,

1135
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: these guys make nothing, and we've talked about a lot

1136
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: of these guys, Yeah, contributing to winning basketball at times.

1137
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: I was there at that one win for the Chicago

1138
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 2: Bulls over the Atlanta Hawks. Vit Crachie he can drop

1139
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 2: some shots. These guys have a lot of them have grown.

1140
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 2: Javonte Green is absolutely incredible for the Detroit Pistons. They

1141
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,359
Speaker 2: are getting lots of value out of every dollar they

1142
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 2: pay him. That guy has been awesome. That hammer he

1143
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 2: threw down after the steal. Yeah, those are good names.

1144
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 1: Three of those names, by the way, College Park Skyhawks, right,

1145
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 1: Dominic Barlow for sure, yeah, VT Crachi, yep, for sure.

1146
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: And Brandon Williams. I saw Brandon Williams play here in

1147
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta or in College Park by the airport. I'm on record.

1148
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: I have an IG post that says, this guy's a

1149
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: bucket man, this guy should be in the league. I

1150
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: was like a scout out there of courts at had

1151
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: a G League game and he's played well obviously, you know,

1152
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: like there was an opportunity there, and then Ryan Emhart

1153
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: has now taking some of that opportunity as well. That's yeah,

1154
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: he's in the league. Deserving player. All those guys all right,

1155
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: Next one here, Christmas Angled question. Five games on Christmas

1156
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 1: Day once again, eighteenth year in a row. We got

1157
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: five games on so as long as we've been doing

1158
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: this show, there's always been five games on Christmas Day.

1159
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: We'll remind everyone what the schedule is. We got Cavs

1160
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: Nicks at twelve pm Eastern. That one you can also

1161
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: catch on Dunk the Halls, the animated version with Mickey

1162
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: Mouse and all his friends. Then at two thirty Spurs Thunder, Hello, Mavericks,

1163
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: Warriors at five, Rockets, Lakers at eight, Wolves, Nuggets. Is

1164
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: your nightcap for the true sickos if you've managed to

1165
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: watch all five on the East Coast at least, that's

1166
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 1: at ten thirty. My question tasks Ash, I want to

1167
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: hear your answer as well. Which Christmas Day game are

1168
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: you most excited for?

1169
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,959
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Spurs and Thunder. I really hope

1170
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 2: that Wemby will be playing because it sure seems like

1171
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 2: he's not playing tonight.

1172
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 1: No, they play tonight.

1173
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing essentially a back to back, two games

1174
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 2: set here over three days. He's questionable because they are

1175
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: preserving him tonight, but I assume maybe that he'll be

1176
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 2: back for Christmas. And I want to see how the

1177
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 2: Thunder play the Spurs in so many different ways after

1178
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 2: losing to them in the NBA Cup. You know, they're

1179
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 2: going to try and pull Wemby out. They're going to

1180
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: try and shoot the three ball a little bit better.

1181
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: They're going to do lots of things for Shaye to

1182
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 2: get better looks while Wemby is out there to get

1183
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 2: into space more so that whole thing. Now, I'm hoping

1184
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 2: that this Wemby absence is just one night, because I

1185
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 2: do think he's not playing tonight.

1186
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: He'll pay, He'll play on chrisp I feel like he

1187
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: will unless something but the worribile happens tonight.

1188
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 2: But the worrisome part is his head coach, Mitch Johnson

1189
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 2: basically said he's not playing because of his quote unique

1190
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 2: anatomy and situation. You know, that's what the whole the

1191
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: organization is saying. They're taking it day by day. They're

1192
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 2: doing the ultimate slow play here. They want to manage

1193
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: it carefully, so you never know.

1194
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

1195
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to talk it into existence. I'd like

1196
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 2: to see Victor Weminyam on the floor.

1197
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, okay, see right now,

1198
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: twenty six and three. They got to back on the

1199
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: winning side last night against the Grizzlies, and then the

1200
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,200
Speaker 1: Spurs are twenty one and seven, So these are the

1201
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: top two teams in the Western Conference. Spurs are tied

1202
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: with the Nuggets right now for second in the West.

1203
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: So that one, I think a lot of people would

1204
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: pick it's really spicy. If the Spurs beat the Thunder

1205
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: again tonight, absolutely, wenb be or not because then you're like, oh,

1206
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: that is the kryptonite for Okac and then we get

1207
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: it again on Christmas. So that's an obvious one. I

1208
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: like that one. What about you, Ash, Is there another

1209
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: game or are you going with that one too?

1210
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1211
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 3: I really like the Spurs Thunder one. I think that's

1212
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 3: my number one game for the day too. Then after that,

1213
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 3: I really love watching Steph Curry play. I mean, like

1214
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 3: Steph Curry is sure my current favorite player.

1215
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: In the league. So the Warriors game maybe.

1216
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 3: So I didn't just like to continue with my list here,

1217
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 3: I'll just go ahead and name them out. Honestly, the

1218
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 3: Lakers and the Rockets. I'm excited for that one too.

1219
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 3: I just think that I wish the Rockets were playing

1220
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 3: Nuggets on Christmas Day because they've been so good. Yeah, recently,

1221
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 3: I wish that was the the Christmas Day game.

1222
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: But the Lakers Rockets could be really good.

1223
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: Seeing Lebron Luca KD Shingoon, I think that's gonna be

1224
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 3: pretty fun. So those are Those are my top three,

1225
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 3: probably in that order, and the other ones are you know,

1226
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 3: if I'm up at ten thirty, I'm probably watching Stranger Things,

1227
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:58,479
Speaker 3: you know.

1228
00:55:58,800 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: By the night time.

1229
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: So well, those are like two hours long, aren't they?

1230
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: These episodes not only an hour? The two hour one

1231
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: is the uh oh my god. Really I'm locked in, Okay,

1232
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: locked in? All right? You in fact him, man, I'll

1233
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: tell you who wishes they weren't playing on Christmas, Lebron.

1234
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: You see his comments. I listened over this shit. Yeah,

1235
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm too old. I'm literally too old. I want to

1236
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 1: be with my family, but no, you're playing again on

1237
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: Christmas man, for what how many years is this guy

1238
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: playing on Christmas? It's gotta be twenty plus. I don't know.

1239
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me, but it's

1240
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 1: the hell of a lot of games.

1241
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 2: I liked it. I liked because the reporter asked him, like,

1242
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: what are you looking forward to on Christmas? He goes, well,

1243
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 2: can you reward that? Like what do you mean? Do

1244
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 2: you mean like how excited am I to play basketball?

1245
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 2: Or what would I rather be doing? Because I'd rather

1246
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 2: be with my family. I liked it. I liked him

1247
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: rewording the reporter it was. It was great stuff.

1248
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Mavericks Warriors too, for a couple of reasons.

1249
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: Ash One, I am a fan of the middle game.

1250
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: The five pm Eastern start for US serve for US

1251
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: people on the East Coast, you know, like I'll be

1252
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: watching a lot of them. Of course, the later ones

1253
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: you maybe start to be a little basketballed out. You're

1254
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: a little tired from all the eating and all the

1255
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: drinking and stuff like that. But like that five pm one, Yeah,

1256
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: maybe dinner time. But I don't know. I don't have

1257
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: many I don't have big plans this year. I'm not

1258
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: going anywhere this year, So I'll be locked in on

1259
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: that one. I like that Cooper Flag will be the

1260
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: youngest player to play on Christmas since Lebron in two

1261
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: thousand and three, just turned nineteen, and then Klay Thompson.

1262
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: This is his one visit to San Francisco this regular season.

1263
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 1: So you got that little story too. And what's fun

1264
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: about that is in twenty twenty four, Steph tied the

1265
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: Christmas record with eight eight threes. He scored thirty eight

1266
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: points in that game. It'd be fun if Clay goes

1267
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: back and has an awesome game it was like a

1268
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: throwback game, or Clay can't miss threes. Maybe Tis Curry

1269
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: maybe even tries to beat that record. That'd be awesome.

1270
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: That's not excited for that one, even though they're not

1271
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: the best teams of the bunch here, but it's a

1272
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: pretty good slate.

1273
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 2: Is and that's the goals Nuggets at the end. That's

1274
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 2: a good calling Clay because he's also picking it up.

1275
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: He's playing better. He's playing better.

1276
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 2: He just dropped twenty in the first half. Yeah, against

1277
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: the Pelicans.

1278
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 3: By the way Lebron has been in nineteen Okay, Christmas

1279
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: is this twenty oh, this will.

1280
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: Be twenty Wow, so he missed a couple. Yeah, it's

1281
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: twenty three years, right, twenty four years? What's he yet?

1282
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 2: This is season twenty three So he missed three? Huh? Well,

1283
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 2: I guess one was a pand known pandemic.

1284
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: No, well, how did he miss.

1285
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 2: Three when he was hurt with the rookie He probably?

1286
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 2: I thought you said he's the youngest player.

1287
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: He played in the Ricky He did say that, Yeah, right, he.

1288
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: Played, yeah, because that was before he turned nineteen.

1289
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: Did they not have thirty n team on a Christmas Day?

1290
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: Is slate?

1291
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's hurt just one year with the Lakers, right?

1292
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: Or no? You got hurt after Christmas? How did he

1293
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: miss three?

1294
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 3: Crazy?

1295
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: What's to do? A deep time final question?

1296
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 2: Here?

1297
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: What's on your NBA Christmas wish list? You can go

1298
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 1: anywhere you want with this.

1299
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: My NBA Christmas wish list is that some of our

1300
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: commenters don't them at me for Christmas?

00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:01,919
Speaker 1: Oh wow?

1302
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: In the future, Ze put on blast. Well, this is

1303
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 2: just me was I was just talking about Yanis. I

1304
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 2: was trying to get to the bottom of Yannis's press conference.

1305
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 2: Z Russ mentioned, what does task care about Yannis being

1306
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 2: on the buck so badly. Listen, he's one of the

1307
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 2: best players in the National Basketball Association of all time. Yeah,

1308
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: he's just he's just great. I mean of all time,

1309
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: like overall, period, everywhere.

1310
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to know. You got to be

1311
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: twenty five player of all times? Is that crazy?

1312
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: As? I don't know. Anyways, if he's going to play

1313
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 2: somewhere else, I care. And I was surprised, you know,

1314
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to pull a Pablo Torri and do

1315
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: a deep dive and try and understand every single word,

1316
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: every single verbi, every single syllable that he was saying.

1317
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: You watched the whole but I went in twenty five Yeah,

1318
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: of course I did. Why not you need to see help?

1319
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: Why because you wasted twenty to twenty five minutes? Why

1320
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: when you watch NBA games you can do some things

1321
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: on the side. Let's this is just be completely It

1322
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: is true. I'm going to watch every down time. You

1323
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: tell me it's the fastest sport. But you can watch

1324
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: a whole press conference.

1325
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, anyway, we want to know where where and

1326
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 2: if he's going anywhere. I'd like to think having shook

1327
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 2: his hand multiple times, I might know what's going on

1328
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: in his brain. I absolutely don't.

1329
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: You have a connection to him, though, because of your

1330
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 1: Greek roots, she could say that. I think that's totally fair.

1331
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: Sure, I haven't sold chokes on the streets like he did.

1332
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: No, he had a tougher anyway to stop coming like that.

1333
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: It is totally I mean, you are the honest defender

1334
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: or the idea that he maybe you're a little naive

1335
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: people think to him to stay in Milwaukee for this season.

1336
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, that's that's I'm not saying he's never going

1337
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 2: to be dealt, but been very clear, I'm sticking with it.

1338
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 2: He's sticking with the Bucks. Will they lose, Yeah, they're

1339
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 2: not going to win the championship.

1340
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: That was a part of your argument that did you

1341
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: in a little bit. You were like, you were big enough, Kuzma,

1342
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,479
Speaker 1: you were big enough Kevin Porter Junior, like were gonna

1343
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: matter when got injured and you're still trying to convince

1344
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: you they're going to be there. They matter, But he

1345
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, man.

1346
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 2: Well, they they matter in terms of him thinking they're

1347
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,440
Speaker 2: gonna be good this season. They do, they do, and

1348
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 2: they haven't. They haven't proved to be excellent. Yeah, well

1349
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 2: that's why Zach Lavine would help, because the coups thinks

1350
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 2: he's a little too fantastic offensively, and Zach would take

1351
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 2: that off his plate. I mean, they're throwing KOs at

1352
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: anybody on the perimeter. You you go guard the best

1353
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 2: players on the perimeter from thirty feet from the bucket,

1354
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 2: and KOs has difficulty rolling with that. Anyway, We're done.

1355
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Okay, what about you, Ash? Do you have a a

1356
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Christmas wish list? Here an NBA Christmas wish list.

1357
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 3: One of the things on the list is that I

1358
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 3: hope Steph Curry signs with Nike. I just really wanted

1359
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 3: to come back to Nike sneak free agent just because

1360
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 3: I want some. I want some Steph Curry Nikes. I

1361
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 3: would love to get some. Did you ever wear his

1362
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 3: under our shoes? I had maybe the first pair, like

1363
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 3: when they came out. My girlfriend at time bought me some.

1364
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 3: I wore them maybe five times. Oh, and I just

1365
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 3: was like I can't get you know, and I try

1366
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 3: to get away from high tops.

1367
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: That's really what it is.

1368
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: Like.

1369
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 3: I wear a lot of Kobe's where Sabrina's now GT

1370
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 3: cut in that family.

1371
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: So I just need stuff.

1372
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 3: Curry to come on back to Nike, coming back to

1373
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,080

Speaker 1: Have you been enjoying this Curry shoe show for the

1376
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: back of lack of a better word, where he's like

1377
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: showing up to the arena and yeah, obviously all these

01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Max on last night. Yeah, Bookers, obviously he's done a lot.

1381
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 3: You like this, I really do love it. I love

1382
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 3: it so much that I was way too excited about it.

1383
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 3: I pitched it to my boss at the Athletic and

1384
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 3: then I had to work on this story for like

1385
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 3: two weeks with a video.

1386
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, with old Jason shut out. I mean idea. Yeah,

1387
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: people love shoes.

1388
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Dude, I'm way too into it. I'm loving like how

1389
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 3: he said the other night he's playing against Devin Booker.

1390
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I tried to beat him within the

1391
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 3: shoes on. I saw an interview with Anthony Edwards. Anthony

1392
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 3: Edwards is like, I snuck my phone on the bench

1393
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 3: because I wore Corries in high school. Like we are

1394
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 3: under armour. It's like I have my phone. I snuck it,

1395
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 3: just like I'm seeing a celebrity. He's wearing my shoes.

1396
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 3: I had to get a picture. We're not supposed to

1397
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 3: have our phones on the bench. But yeah, I just

1398
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 3: it's a cool story. I love how he's trying to

1399
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 3: pay homage to every single legend or people that he's

1400
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 3: looked up to. Are people that he's just you know,

1401
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,439
Speaker 3: trying to pay respect to. He wore the kg's last week.

1402
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 2: Did you ever wear the Anthony Edwards or no? No, No,

1403
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 2: they look nice.

1404
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm not an Adidas guy, that's the problem.

1405
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

1406
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 3: I'm strictly I really only wear Nikes, man, So I

1407
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 3: need Steph create to come on back.

1408
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, there you go. That's on ashes. Christmas wishless,

1409
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: I like that one. Mine for actual NBA Christmas Day.

1410
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: My wishless. I'd like to see jell and Brunson score

1411
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: fifty points in Madison Square Garden as the Knicks play

1412
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: their fiftieth Christmas Day game. Knicks are always playing on Christmas.

1413
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that tradition. Yeah, he just

1414
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: had the forty seven, let's go for fifty. He could

1415
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: if he does. And this is a little trivia question

1416
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: for you guys. Can you tell me, first off, the

1417
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: last player to score fifty on Christmas Day? It wasn't

1418
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: that long ago. And then any other guys to score

1419
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: fifty in a Christmas Day game? There are four total

1420
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: that have done it. Bernard King sixty in nineteen eighty four,

1421
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: that's right, So that was the record before Carmelo got

1422
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: it right for the Knicks there in Madison.

1423
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 2: In Madison Square Guard. Yeah. So there's three more that

1424
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 2: have scored fifty on Christmas.

1425
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Two oldies but Hall of Fame, classic names, and then

1426
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: a very a superstar player in today's game. I don't

1427
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: remember him doing this in twenty twenty three. I'll give

1428
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: you the year.

1429
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 2: It's twenty three. Huh. A superstar in today's game. Yeah,

1430
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 2: don't overthink Yeah, it's not jumping. Well, what I want

1431
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 2: to say?

1432
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Luca? Luca? Yeah, Luka for fifty twenty three? Yeah, huh,

1433
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: I know. Why don't I remember this?

1434
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Sume I don't remember that game?

1435
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Good call, Luca. And then the oldies scored fifty nine

1436
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,479
Speaker 1: points in nineteen sixty one. Don't overthink it not, will

1437
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: there you go? And uh, this is the toughest one.

1438
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: But you should always say this guy's name when we

1439
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,920
Speaker 1: talk about, uh scoring records for sure?

1440
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 2: What else can I Alex English?

1441
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: No, but that's good. But uh, white guy? We know

1442
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: his son Rick Barry Rick Berry scored fifty in nineteen

1443
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 1: sixty six. So not a lot of guys have done it.

1444
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:39,479
Speaker 2: Not a lot of white guys, that's for sure, Luca,

1445
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 2: you mentioned.

1446
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: Too, two white guys. We were talking about half the

1447
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: guys that have done it. It's been white man. Can

1448
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: Jellen Brunson do it? Or can somebody do it? Somebody

1449
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: go off? Somebody go off on Christmas? That'd be fun.

1450
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean Wemby had a he scored forty two last year?

1451
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Didn't he is? So last year?

1452
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 2: He's only played in one.

1453
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I think so. I swear Wemby had a monster game.

1454
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah he had a forty two.

1455
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: I think so with the Spurs in that. Did they

1456
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: play the nixt last year?

1457
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? I thought so the Disney game that was the

1458
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 2: Disney Oh okay, yeah.

1459
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: My crazier. Did he not have fifty or forty two?

1460
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 2: He had a monster line. I thought it was more

1461
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 2: of a monster like this guy could have gone a

1462
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 2: five by I'm checking five by ten or you know.

1463
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Forty and eighteen four assists, four blocks in his Christmas

1464
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: Day Day tout. Oh my god, that's why he was. Well,

1465
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 1: it's easy when you're playing goofy and they don't play

1466
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: any defense jokes.

1467
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 3: Just real quick. Yeah, Lebron he played in two thousand

1468
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 3: and three in his rookiear. Yeah, didn't play another one

1469
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 3: until two thousand and seven. There's our answer.

1470
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 2: Oh he didn't play they go.

1471
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: Because they weren't playing. They wouldn't have been playing five

1472
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 1: games either, so there were less games. Yeah, there you go.

1473
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 3: So it goes from two thousand and three to two

1474
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 3: thousand and seven and then all the way from two

1475
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 3: thousand and seven now today.

1476
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Wow, here's what else I'd like to see though. Christmas

1477
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: Day wish list. Let's put some lights and garland around

1478
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: the backboard. Why not? That's an amazing idea, actually badass,

1479
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: And I don't think it would affect them at all.

1480
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 1: Maybe the lights, but like it's not like they're so

1481
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: they're the best shooters in the world, best players in

1482
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 1: the world. I don't think it's gonna do anything. I

1483
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: think it would look so cool or at least like

1484
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: on the stanchion or the shot clock or something that

1485
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: is so awesome looking. I think we should have like

1486
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: elves running around the lower bowl, like just going everywhere.

1487
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: And I mean, if you like, throw Christmas trees out

1488
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: there in the corners or by the bench or maybe

1489
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: even under the stanchion. Help put them in the middle

1490
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: of the court. Make them play around it. Go nuts. Yeah, okay,

1491
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: you like this idea. I love the idea. Okay. The

1492
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,439
Speaker 1: garland and the lights, yeah, that's great. Flashing lights though,

1493
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: or the they stay still. Well, let me ask you

1494
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: what's your household? Are you? Are you a white lights

1495
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: like classy if you want to call it that, or

1496
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: are you a colorful light guy? When it comes to Christmas?

1497
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 3: All you guys you've met my wife. Yeah, it's very

1498
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 3: very white light in there for sure. Okay, I prefer

1499
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 3: the colorful Yeah, but she's like, uh no, that's ugly.

1500
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I read this huge article about the problem with the

1501
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: color lights nowadays. Is like the light bulbs are different

1502
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: than they used to be back when we were young,

1503
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: and like they were a different type. They gave off

1504
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: like a warmer glow, and now they're one of the

1505
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: most common lights. Yeah, yes, yes, exactly, and they just

1506
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: don't have the same glow and feel to it. You

1507
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: can still buy those old incandescent light bulbs. I guess

1508
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: what they were, But I'm with you, Ash, we're white

1509
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: lights everywhere in the household because it looks nice. But

1510
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: I miss those colors. But we do have the tree

1511
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: that comes like a pre lit that you can change

1512
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: sort of cool. So it's like it was like setting. Yeah, yeah,

1513
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,879
Speaker 1: there's like white setting, there's a colored setting. There's flashing

1514
01:08:57,880 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: setting and all this stuff. Yeah. Do you want to

1515
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: let me like like them flashing? I'm blinking a little

1516
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: bit quicker.

1517
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 3: She's like no, you know, they kind of stay on,

1518
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 3: or if they do, they they're like the real slow. Yeah, Like,

1519
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 3: come on, let's have some fun. It's Christmas, I say

1520
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 3: with Nora.

1521
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: She don't like them flashy. She's like, you only put

1522
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: those on when you're having a party. Oh brother, I

1523

1577
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 2: line in there six and a half, okay, see by

1578
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 2: favored by six and a half. So they get on

1579
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 2: by seven or more.

1580
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: It was last night.

1581
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's I was looking at the

1582
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:14,080
Speaker 2: exact same time as you. I saw it at seven.

1583
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what I saw. So I had to.

1584
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: I just decided one way or the other. Called the half?

1585
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah is it?

1586
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: Did you go lower?

1587
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Because you had? Okay see and you want to win back?

1588
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: I did it first, and then I was like, and

1589
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 1: then I went, okay see, Oh no, I like, I

1590
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: let trade decide first. So we wanted to take it.

1591
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:31,839
Speaker 2: I thought maybe we were logging in from different states,

1592
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 2: you know how you we're in different states.

1593
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Maybe the lines are in different states. Probably not, but

1594
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 1: I thought it was seven when I saw it too, So.

1595
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 2: There obviously want some revenge for their second loss of

1596
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 2: the NBA season, but really it felt like their first

1597
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 2: loss because the first loss was against the Portland Trailblazers

1598
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 2: and back to back situation. So here they go, and

1599
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 2: that's why you and I think are okay, see, we'll

1600
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 2: make up for that one.

1601
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: But Tray's comfortable take the spurs. You get the point

1602
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 1: in case he played last night too.

1603
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 2: Oh we don't have a Wemby. Well you're might saying, yeah,

1604
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,600
Speaker 2: it's questionable again. Oh man, John's.

1605
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 1: Playing forty minutes like they are keeping him still around

1606
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: that twenty minute mark.

1607
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now with all these this talk about teams

1608
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 2: have to come out and put it out there whether

1609
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 2: or not.

1610
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: No, it's not a rule, it's absolutely not a rule.

1611
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: But here we are.

1612
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 2: Mitch Johnson's saying he's they're they're living under this idea

1613
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 2: that he is. Quote, he's got this unique anatomy and situation.

1614
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's seven foot fucking five. It's pretty unique. You

1615
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 1: don't see it around a lot.

1616
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Jesus, Well, that's why they're playing it extremely slowly.

1617
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of shoes, to go back to shoes, I

1618
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: did see Wemby on Friday, Friday night we talked about

1619
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 1: on Monday's pod. Nora came with me. She did not

1620
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: like Wemby's shoes. He was wearing green shoes on Friday

1621
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: night here in Atlanta. I didn't know. And they do

1622
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 1: look like like obviously the guy's got giant feety simplified,

1623
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: but like maybe because he's so skinny, they look like

1624
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: cinder blocks on his feet. The shoes look huge, but

1625
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 1: like not too long. They just look clunky. She's like, what, like,

1626
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: how does he move in those? I don't know if

1627
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: you saw the mass shoes.

1628
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 3: I think, yeah's shoes always look weird. You ever see

1629
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 3: him though, Like he's running around the court, it looks

1630
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 3: like his entire ankle touches the ground.

1631
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?

1632
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see these like when he moves, didn't look

1633
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 3: like his shoes are todd tight.

1634
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1635
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what nor was saying. Yeah, she's just like

1636
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: he's wearing his slippers or something. Yeah, that's exactly what.

1637
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 2: Yah.

1638
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 3: That's that's how I think he's gonna get hurt. Man,

1639
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna freaking his entire leg is gonna.

1640
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,520
Speaker 2: Roll over us. Why his ankle is super.

1641
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: He's like doll zine from Street Fighter Bendy. I think

1642
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: that's his that's his superpower. But yeah, it looks wild

1643
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: those green ones. I didn't know how the green ones looked. Yeah,

1644
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: I guess he's a Nike guy obviously, right, Yeah, the

1645
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: alien doesn't have his own shoe though, does he not yet?

1646
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 3: And he's still in Peas, but he's getting his shoes

1647
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 3: soon apparently, Oh he is. They started having like prototypes,

1648
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 3: like last year, I don't remember, they had this like

1649
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 3: spaceship looking shoe. It was really weird looking, but they

1650
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 3: were like, hey, this might be what I thought.

1651
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: That was just I didn't think it was real in

1652
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: the sense that they were gonna make them.

1653
01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a sell shoes too, Maybe not in

1654
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:19,599
Speaker 3: today's game, right, Like why why just because like everybody's

1655
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 3: wearing low tops anyways or mintops. And I mean one

1656
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 3: of the biggest selling shoes over the past year or

1657
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 3: so has been from a WNBA player, so like you know,

1658
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 3: and Asia Wilson too, like she's starting to sell her

1659
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 3: own shoes as well. So maybe when Winby comes out,

1660
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 3: everybody loves Wimby.

1661
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 1: I think with.

1662
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,719
Speaker 3: Nike backing him, that's just another another wrinkling.

1663
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. It's not like back in

1664
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 1: the day, like like even Shack shoes, Like those things

1665
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:48,440
Speaker 1: were huge, right like because like they're built for him,

1666
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 1: they're built for a big man. But people don't want

1667
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: to play in those, like obviously kids don't. Really, I

1668
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 1: don't know how they did. I'm sure he sold a

1669
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: ton of shoes, but not like actually, yeah, as much

1670
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: as you would think. But Joannis, it's all a lot

1671
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: of shoes. Yeah, I played, honestly, I see Greek freaks

1672
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: all the time.

1673
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 3: Gym and then like what is Winby wearing now, like

1674
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 3: the GT jumper GT something like that.

1675
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean that GT line.

1676
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 3: If they just streamline that straight into Winby shoe, he's

1677
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 3: gonna have a really cool logo with the alien.

1678
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just I feel like it'd be one of

1679
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: the top seven shoes for sure.

1680
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Jokic just shooting so well at all. I mean,

1681
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't know the numbers.

1682
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't care. Rand is like three six one, yeah,

1683
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 1: three six one. It's all about endorsing it.

1684
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 2: He doesn't he didn't care. Oh.

1685
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,640
Speaker 1: It is generally tough for a big market shoes to

1686
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: sell shoes.

1687
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,719
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, it's all the good Jillian guys.

1688
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: They figured that one out. All right, that's a tonight's game.

1689
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 1: Oh do you want to show the old League Pass?

1690
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, We've got a great deal on a League

1691
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 2: Pass subscription. It's only seventy nine ninety nine and we're

1692
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 2: just pushing it. Not because we're looking to make money.

1693
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 2: We're looking to get you a good experience out there

1694
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 2: because League Pass has improved. Yeah, don't take it from us.

1695
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: Take it from a guy who's watched basketball even longer

1696
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,880
Speaker 2: than us and had to deal with League Pass. Our

1697
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 2: man Kelly Dwyer at kde on hoops dot com. This

1698
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 2: is how he described League Pass. He's got nothing to

1699
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,440
Speaker 2: do with this deal, but he said Leak Pass works wonderfully.

1700
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 2: The resume feature finally installed. I love that. Yeah, you

1701
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 2: go come back and you just click rezuome jump right

1702
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 2: back in fewer dropouts, the continuing coverage of little league

1703
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,840
Speaker 2: halftime basketball events, and the gleaming introduction of every hype

1704
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,599
Speaker 2: team in the NBA. It's great. So there's a QR

1705
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 2: code if you're watching on our YouTube page and we'll

01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: X Kelly's not wrong, and you're not wrong about Kelly.

1708
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: That guy's watched more League Pass than probably anybody. Dare

1709
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,000
Speaker 1: I say in the world, i'd be on the short list.

1710
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 2: Probably it's gotten better this year, there's no doubt. Yeah,

1711
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:48,759
Speaker 2: there's no doubt that guy.
