Speaker 4: We've been watching you guys, and I say we as

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: a podcast, We've been watching you guys from a far

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 4: for a long time. I remember when we first started

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 4: our podcast. Can he put put all of us onto

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: you guys? So to be here is kind of surreal moment.

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 4: So I appreciate you guys having me on today.

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Well, this is a lot of fun. I know, the chat,

23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: the live stream, the stream team as we call them.

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: They're pumped for this collab. We've had Kenny on. Now

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: we got you. We'll make our way to Dee Mills

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: and Mike in the future here. But I know you

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: just basically rolled out of bed and you said before

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: you fell asleep, you did see the Chris Paul news.

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: So you've got some takes on this because this is wild.

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: They'll set it up for everyone. Stunning overnight move, the

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: Clippers announced that Chris Paul is no longer with the team.

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Like what, Yeah, So CP three signified at about two

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: forty am Eastern Time that the Clippers were letting him go,

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: posting on his Instagram Stories account, just found out I'm

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: being sent home with a piece emoji. And then reports

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: say it wasn't Chris Paul's decision. And then we heard

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: from Lawrence Frank he had a big statement on them

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: parting ways. So Pierre, like, we're you as baffled as

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: the rest of us here with what went down last

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: night and Chris Paul being sent home.

41
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was extremely bad. First of all, I've

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: been baffled with the Los Angeles Clippers by the entire season,

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 4: but the Chris Paul.

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 3: Move was very, very weird.

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: I'm still like feeding for more information before I start

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 4: to speculate, which I have no problem doing, by the way,

47
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: but five and sixteen start. I'm a guy that I

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: will admit I thought this team was a legitimate playoff team.

49
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: And when I say legitimate, I mean like no playing

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: like one of the top six seeds in the conference.

51
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: So to see this start with so much veteran presence,

52
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: you know, and to watch how they're losing and why

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 4: they're losing and a lack of communication, just a lack

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: of overall effort from again an older group was disappointing.

55
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: And to see them make a move like this is

56
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: almost a little bit more disappointing because Chris Paul really

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: joined the team to kind of ease into retirement. He

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: hasn't been really much of a factor. He doesn't play

59
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: that much, so for them to kind of single him out,

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 4: and then the Lawrence Frank statement was like, oh, this

61
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: is not saying that Chris Paul is the reason far disappointed.

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: It's just confusing.

63
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: And I think the NBA at this point, with so

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: much technology with all of us in the media now

65
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 4: speaking on it, we can no longer have things like

66
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 4: this happen, and it'd be so vague in my opinion,

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: and I think fan bases deserve more as well. When

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: you have a five and sixteen start and you're just

69
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: making these random in the middle of the night moves

70
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: with such vague statements is kind of frustrating as well.

71
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: So we'll see what happens. I'm sure in the next

72
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 4: five hours we'll get some more information, but definitely head

73
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: scratching before I lay my eyes down and go to bed.

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm totally with you, Like the story's gonna come

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: out whatever happened, who knows. I mean, Chris Paul can

76
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: be a prickly personality for sure, and he's probably one

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: of the guys who's most upset with the way the

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: Clippers season has gone. But the Lawrence Frank thing was

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: weird about it because I personally hadn't even considered that

80
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 5: Chris Paul not playing well this season had anything to

81
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: do with the Clippers performance. They probably weren't expecting a

82
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 5: lot out of them, no, But once he said it,

83
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 5: I was like, wait a second, are you blaming Chris

84
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 5: Paul for this. There's no way it's his faulty. It's

85
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: like gonna be your third string point guard. A lot

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: of other things have gone poorly, but it is disappointing

87
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: just to see. You know what, maybe Chris Paul's the

88
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: second best, first best Clipper ever, him and Blake Griffin,

89
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: and both of their tenures with LA have ended really

90
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 5: poorly on bad terms, and it doesn't seem like they

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: will have fond feelings about their time there. This was

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 5: supposed to be a celebration for Chris Paul, you know,

93
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 5: he was gonna sort of ring Chase where he really

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 5: made his name, and now it's just a weird, weird ending.

95
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: It's very weird, and there's got to be more to

96
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: this story. There has to be test.

97
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's so puzzling. I can't decide if Chris

98
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: Paul wanted out and demanded him to be released.

99
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: That's not the case.

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely a story to back why the Clippers

101
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: would want him out, or maybe they came to a

102
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: mutual agreement. Because I can see from Chris Paul's side,

103
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: we're not winning. This is my last season. I want

104
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: to go somewhere I can win. I'm not playing a lot.

105
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: I'm not playing it for of course, I'm having lots

106
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: of disagreements with many things, many players, many coaches, as

107
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: we've seen before in Chris Paul's career, a Center, perhaps

108
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: a James Harden, perhaps a Tyloo perhaps or was it

109
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: the front office saying, hey, we don't need any of

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: this friction. We need some reason to get better right here,

111
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: right now, so you're out of here. That being said,

112
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: it's so weird that.

113
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I got the feeling that it could

114
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 6: have been Chris Paul because he was the first one

115
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 6: to say it on social media before that release came

116
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 6: out twenty minutes later, which.

117
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: Was horrendous sort of text at three am. They couldn't

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: wait till the morning for a PR person to put

119
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: together a real email. That is that is strange, And

120
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: as p was saying at the beginning, with everything we

121
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: got in basketball, we expect more than that. That was

122
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: a very was on the left of the release, Like

123
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: did you see it wasn't even centered? I mean, like

124
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: the actual text it was so strange.

125
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: Oh, it's Lawrence Frank panicking. I assume at like, I

126
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: gotta get that three in the morning. Do you want

127
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: to see Pierre, like Chris Paul, I don't know, make

128
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: his way to another team here, because again, this is

129
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: a guy that was riding the pine for a very

130
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: bad team, like you said, but it was his farewell

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: to her. Like people in Atlanta here may have been

132
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: going down to the Fortress tonight potentially to see Chris

133
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Paul play his final game in Atlanta. I mean, I

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: know they go to Memphis soon and maybe obviously we

135
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: would have some more games there, and that's what happening now.

136
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: And we're a few hours away from Charlotte, from his home.

137
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so that's cut off. Do you think

138
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: he goes to another team though here in his final year?

139
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: That's such a great question.

140
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: I hope so, because again, like you mentioned, this was

141
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 4: supposed to be kind of like the Ring Chase, and

142
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: he wanted to play the season out and this was

143
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: a big commitment for him. He talked a lot about

144
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: it in the offseason whether he was going to go

145
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: through with it. He wanted to be around his family.

146
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: It was a hard decision, you know, to see the

147
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 4: kids get older and not necessarily be there, and this

148
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: was supposed to reunite with the Clippers, So I honestly

149
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: don't know. I would love to see him maybe go somewhere,

150
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: But at the same time, he's not playing, And again

151
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: I just me speculating. I believe Chris Paul was probably

152
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: in the locker room where and practice is trying to

153
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: hold guys accountable, but it's also Chris Paul who is

154
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: not playing, and some of the guys are probably like,

155
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: who is he to say anything?

156
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: You don't even play, And this probably was an ego thing.

157
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: So I don't know if you can go through that

158
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: and want to go to another team, because if we're

159
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 4: being honest, there's no team or Chris Paul is magically

160
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 4: playing thirty minutes a night, no no, And so because

161
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 4: of that, does Chris Paul want to go through this again?

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind if Chris Paul was like Petty and

163
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 4: went to the Lakers, you know what I mean, Okay,

164
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: I'll go right across the streets. So I want to

165
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 4: see him kind of finish out when he started. I know,

166
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: like you talked about people going to these last games

167
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: for him, I believe Kenny was thinking about like going

168
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: to a Bulls Clippers game. Yeah, for Chris so like, yeah,

169
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: this is something that fans deserve. Chris Paul is an

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer, He's given a lot to the game.

171
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: He should be able to go out on a better

172
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: behalf than like three o'clock in the morning.

173
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: Release.

174
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. Yeah, we'll learn more.

175
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I assume, like you said, Pierre, in the next couple hours.

176
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: I would hope we would from either the Clipper side

177
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: of things, from Chris Paul and his team. I guess

178
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: parting ways, being sent home means one of three things too,

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: waiving his three point six million dollar guaranteed contract, just

180
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: eating the salary, working on some sort of trade. You

181
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: could be sent home and then work on a trade

182
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: come December fifteenth, or a buyout of some sort. So

183
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: we'll leave that right now as it is, Chris Paul

184
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: being sent home on a road trip during his farewell

185
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: tour by the Clippers. Wild stuff. Okay, let's get into

186
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: some other things, Pierre, or a quarter of the way

187
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: through the NBA season, let's start with this one for you.

188
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: Who do you think's been the biggest breakout player for

189
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: you through the first you know, twenty twenty two games.

190
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm biased by the way I would not lie.

191
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm extremely biased. I love people who love me and

192
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: show me love, So maya Jayalen Johnson of y'all Atlanta Hawks,

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: that's my guy. And I've been a Jayalen Johnson fan

194
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: for a long time. And to see him kind of

195
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: emerge in a time where the Hawks were struggling. The

196
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: Tree Young injury was at a very bad time for

197
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: them because they were trying to figure things out, and

198
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: then for them to collectively make this huge jumping for

199
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: him to be the driving force. He's looking like a

200
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: first time All Star, potentially All NBA if he can

201
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 4: keep this level of play up, and I just think

202
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: it sets the Atlanta Hawks up in a different trajectory

203
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: than we projected, and that's with or without Tree Young.

204
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: And for them to also own the Pelicans pick. This

205
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: Atlanta Hawks team becomes a lot more interesting, you know,

206
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: than what they look like at the beginning of the year.

207
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 4: So Jalen Johnson and I also got to give a

208
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: love to another Jalen, Jalen Durham with the Pistons. He's

209
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 4: been a monster and what they've done to start the

210
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: year has been super impressive, especially considering how they look

211
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: two years ago, So those would be my two guys,

212
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: but definitely biased towards my guy Jalen Johnson out there

213
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: in Atlanta.

214
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: Are those those two guys that you would have on

215
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: an All Star team here? I know you just did

216
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: a video on that picking your squad. We obviously have

217
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: this weird international Americans thing, So that would be two

218
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: Jalens that are American on your team here. They're there

219
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: for you.

220
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, two Jalens, two first time All Stars, And at

221
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 4: this point, I actually think those guys are borderline locks

222
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: if I'm being honest, Like they're playing that good.

223
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: What do you think the Hawks should do with the

224
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 5: Trey Young situation? Because at the very least they're not

225
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 5: worse with Trey missing, right, they're at least as good.

226
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 5: And the way Jalen is playing, he looks like the

227
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 5: featured star on this team. They've got this Pelicans pick

228
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 5: in the future that got other contracts that could be

229
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: included in a trade, like Porzingis, who's been in and

230
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: out of the lineup, hasn't been a huge part of

231
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: this little stretch that they've been playing with. What do

232
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 5: you think is the move for Atlanta here dealing with

233
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: Trey Young going forward.

234
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: I think Number one, they kind of have it in

235
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: a perfect position where because you're thriving without him, this

236
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: is like almost a death sentence for stars for the

237
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 4: team to thrive without them, especially when the last time

238
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 4: we saw to start with the team they didn't look

239
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: as good. So you have a situation where you can

240
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 4: try to bring him back and see if he's going

241
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: to commit to the way that you guys want to

242
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 4: play or whatever you guys wanting to do defensively compete.

243
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: This is a time for him to kind of join

244
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: and get on a court with whatever the team wants.

245
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: If you can bring him back and implement him with

246
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: this new sort of setup with Jalen Johnson being featured,

247
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: then you know you continue to thrive and you're better

248
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 4: with Trey Young committed to the brand of basketball you

249
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 4: wanted to play. If he can't get on board or

250
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 4: he doesn't want to, then you now, like you said,

251
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 4: have a situation where you can make Trey Young available

252
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: and you'll get back something in return that allows you to,

253
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: you know, get better at least marginally. I don't know,

254
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: I like Trey Young. I'm not ready to write him

255
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 4: extremely off. I know he has some guys that aren't

256
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: the biggest fans, and he also has some diehards. I'm

257
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: always for trying to figure it out before trading, especially

258
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: when you think about the point guard position.

259
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: Trey Young is not a player. Trey Young, jab Moran LaMelo.

260
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 4: All of these guys are guys that I can quickly

261
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 4: think of teams that would be wanting to, you know,

262
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: bring them in, and especially in the middle of a season,

263
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: so you might not even have that big of a

264
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 4: market during the season, so you might have to wait

265
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,599
Speaker 4: till the off season. In that case, you kind of

266
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: got to ride this thing out. But I think again,

267
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: they're set up in so many different ways to win,

268
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 4: and I feel good and happy for Atlanta because they're

269
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: kind of playing with houses money. To be able to

270
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: have that Pelicans pick sets them up so differently, Like

271
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: I'm excited for that.

272
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: It's future.

273
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, not only to have that pick, but like you said,

274
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: for Jill and Johnson to look like a cornerstone for

275
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: Nikil Alexander Walker to be bawling out for them right now.

276
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Resa che in theory only getting better with his age.

277
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's some pieces there. Whether Trey's a part

278
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: of that or not, and they're set up a lot

279
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: better than maybe they were those couple of years where

280
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: there was like just the treadmill of mediocrity, and they're

281
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: right there sort of unfortunately like your Chicago Bulls always

282
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: in a hot Yeah, I know, I don't know why

283
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I did that. You know, we're talking to Pierre thinking

284
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: of Kenny and this bulls love all that stuff.

285
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: What do you Yeah, it was such a weird off

286
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: season for the Alanta Hawks because all of a sudden

287
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: they got a front office just boost them up. True,

288
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: and that we didn't see that happening the last time

289
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: we were sitting in uh. I guess it was like

290
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: row six. We were close to Travis Schlenk, who was

291
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: leading the Hawks front office then, and he gets let

292
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: go an Sally starts this new trend. As you mentioned, Nikil,

293
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: Alexander Walker's contract is really really interesting because they signed

294
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: him to a very very inexpensive deal. I don't know

295
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 2: how you feel about him. He being what could be

296
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: the starting guard for this team for several years if

297
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: they decide we'll move on from Trey. He was a

298
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: backup guard obviously in Minnesota last year. That's how it worked.

299
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: He started his career with New Orleans. Oh, he's going

300
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: to be this guy with Zion Williamson. He's gonna be awesome.

301
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: He was not in that particular role, but now he's bald.

302
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: I know Jalen Johnson gets a lot of the love.

303
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: It's a highlight league, apparently, that's what I'm Selver says

304
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: that man is making highlights. But minekuille as and a Walker.

305
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: He's the guy has averaging twenty points on great percentages.

306
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: Do you think he could be the starting guard for Atlanta?

307
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: Or am I being biased here in Atlanta?

308
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the results that he can be funny thing.

309
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm super high on Nikia Alexander Walker, and I'm always

310
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: going to be tied to him. Early in our show,

311
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: when Shae was younger, I think Shaye may have gotten

312
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 4: into the league a year before Kiel. There's an infamous

313
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: moment on our podcast where I'm telling the guys about

314
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: this Nikil guy and that he's the better Alexander.

315
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: Fast forward.

316
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: Now all of our fans remind me of how ridiculous

317
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 4: that looks than twenty five. So I'm happy to see

318
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: Nikio thrive. I asked the guys yesterday on our show,

319
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: and I'll ask you guys, has he leap frog and

320
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 4: become like the face of MIP.

321
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: Is he the front runner for that award or.

322
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I still would go with the guy you already

323
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: mentioned in Jalen Duran, who I think when I watch

324
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: him play compared to last year, I'm like, holy, he

325
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: is really leveled up. But there's a lot of guys.

326
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: Avdia's got to be in the mix, yes, with where

327
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: he is Nikhil like you said, because the scoring numbers

328
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: for Nikil oxenter Walker of like doubled.

329
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: More than doubled somehow more efficient and more efficient. Yeah,

330
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: playing great.

331
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: That's probably that right now is like probably one of

332
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: the tighter like award races. Yeah, through the quarter market season,

333
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: because I think you can make a case for four

334
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: or five guys. Who would you have.

335
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: Tk Well, unfortunately not mattas Bozellis that was one of

336
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 5: my preseason picks. But I would probably go with Duran

337
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: just because he's become the number two guy for the Pistons,

338
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 5: and you can see the improvements with him, like he

339
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: can handle the ball when he scores or when he

340
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 5: gets the ball in the restricted area. It's a bucket.

341
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: It feels like he can get points anytime and knows

342
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 5: how he's going to be getting points. He feels like

343
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: an anchor piece for the Pistons right now. But you

344
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 5: can't discredit the way Nikhail Alexander Walker, a little bit

345
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: later into his career, has really seized the opportunity and

346
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 5: looks like a clutch scorer as well. I mean, maybe

347
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 5: Converse could be a most improved brand. Oh wow, he

348
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: signed a deal with Converse. Shay obviously is the defending MVP.

349
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 5: I know Jamal Crawford was dunking on his shoes last night,

350
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: but at least they've got the cousinship to try and

351
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 5: lift Converse from the depths of the kirk Heinrich era.

352
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: That's the cousinship. Look, you already talked Pierre about how

353
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: you were dead wrong when it came to the Clippers,

354
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: right uh, And you're not alone in that. There are

355
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people were convinced, like, hey, look at

356
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: all the vets in here. Look what they added. Looks

357
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: like it could be a good team. So look that

358
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: one you're wrong about. A lot of us are wrong about.

359
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: What about a player or team that you were right about?

360
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: Like take a little victory lap right now. In the preseason,

361
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: you called your shot on said player or said team.

362
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: Well again, I'm must go with my guy Jayleen Johnson. Okay,

363
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 4: I did like a video or an episode on teed

364
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: Up where I talked about, like, guys, I'm buying stock

365
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 4: in Jalen Johnson was one of them. Maybe Nikil was

366
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 4: was one of those guys as well. I was a

367
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 4: big fan of the Spurs. I felt like the Spurs

368
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: were We're really set to do something special. Now, obviously

369
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 4: it's hard to kind of tell because Wemby has kind

370
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: of been out off, that's literally, but with them, they

371
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: felt like like with them, I felt they could be

372
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 4: a player out West. And so you know, I mean,

373
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: it's nothing wrong with thriving without him, but I can't

374
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 4: lie if I'm just being like extremely honest with you guys.

375
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 4: I hate seeing tall players with the injuries like it

376
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 4: scares me. And so anytime I see anything with Vic,

377
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 4: I think further than just the season. So I'm I'm

378
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 4: hoping that he's gonna be okay, and we don't, you know,

379
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: have to have another guy that is missing too much

380
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: time Because now I just saw yesterday on away from work.

381
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 4: Zion is going to be out for another three weeks

382
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 4: and no, right, you know, but yeah, the Boston Celtics,

383
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: I also predicted, would not have that big of a

384
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: fall off like the Pacers, and they've been kind of thriving.

385
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: They beat my Knicks last night, so yeah, like some

386
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: of those picks, I guess are good. It's so much

387
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: basketball left though that I'm I'm I'm holding on to

388
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 4: some of my other ones before I victory. I victory

389
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: lap too soon, and it's it's you know that that's

390
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 4: that's a bit of an issue because I was always

391
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: the modest, muzealous hype tray and we all saw with

392
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 4: the MVP potential, I would jumped off the ledge. But

393
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: another guy that I'm biased too, right, that's my little guys,

394
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 4: So I kind of went overboard. But yeah, we're gonna

395
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna preserve some of the victory that happened. But

396
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 4: the Knicks, the Knicks, the Knicks and Knicks. The Knicks

397
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 4: have been looking real good. Could be looking better, but

398
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 4: we're looking good without uh without.

399
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: O g Oh, the Raptors. I was big on a raptor.

400
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: There we go, Well, we're gonna have a huge NBA

401
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Cup game with the Knicks coming up to Toronto next

402
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: week to see who can advance to Vegas.

403
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: We got the Knicks. No worries, Oh, well you should

404
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: be worrying.

405
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: Might be?

406
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, could be. Let's talk a little bit about your Knicks.

407
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: I guess the first question is why are you a

408
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: Knicks fan living in Chicago? How did that come about?

409
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: So, like most people, I grew up thinking I was

410
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: going to the NBA, and I kind of premeditated my

411
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: career where I wasn't going to play in Chicago because

412
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: I grew up in chicag I go and I understand

413
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: how important Jordan is here. Kobe Bryant is my favorite

414
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: player of all time alone with Penny Hardaway. So I

415
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 4: knew I couldn't play for the Lakers. So the next

416
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 4: best thing was the Knicks.

417
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Okay, And.

418
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: That just started my fandom. I just got obsessed with

419
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 3: the Knicks.

420
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: I would create myself on college hoops two K and

421
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 4: I would like transfer them over to the NBA two

422
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 4: K and I would always get drafted to the Knicks

423
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: and like take them to the Promised Land. And just

424
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: as I did that for years and years and years,

425
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: it kind of grew into loving the Knicks and loving

426
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: watching them on like WGN against the Bulls and just

427
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 4: like seeing Madison Square Garden and yeah, and then they

428
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: also sucked, so it wasn't like jumping on a bandwagon,

429
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So I was like, you know,

430
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: I just inherited the Knicks. And then they got good

431
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 4: and they had like some of my favorite players growing up,

432
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 4: which was Carmelo j R. Smith, Tyson Chandler, and so

433
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: then it just became super easy to just stay with

434
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 4: the Knicks.

435
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: That is the greatest answer to why do you cheer

436
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: for this team? It's because I envisioned myself leading them

437
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: to a championship. That is why we love you.

438
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 5: Man.

439
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: That's an incredible answer.

440
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: Okay, I don't know. I'm a little disappointed to hear it.

441
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: I feel like the Balls have had a hard time

442
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 5: getting free agent since MJ retired because nobody wants to

443
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: carry the mantle for him. And now that I'm hearing,

444
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 5: even Pierre doesn't want to carry the MJ mantle. But understandable,

445
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 5: it might have worked out for you. Even though neither

446
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 5: team has been good for twenty five years. The Knicks

447
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 5: are far ahead of where the balls are right now.

448
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's no doubt, thankfully, thankfully.

449
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: Do you see the Knicks having to make any moves

450
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: around this deadline to help their chances in a wide

451
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: open eieese like, Look, it's there for the taking this

452
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: season for sure.

453
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: Around a deadline.

454
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess there's always an opportunity, like you said,

455
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: to get somewhat better. If I'm being honest, I'm watching

456
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: them Milwaukee, who impressed me to start the year, but

457
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 4: now they've lost a bunch and now to nine to

458
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: thirteen and you know, the whole yann and social media

459
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 4: thing yesterday, a big storyline. I'm kind of with, just

460
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: kind of like riding this thing out hopefully we can

461
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: do something special and trying to get thirty four from Milwaukee.

462
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: He wants to he wants to win, and you know,

463
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 4: being a guy with such a big fan base and

464
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: a big market playing on a small market team, who

465
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 4: wouldn't want to come to New York. You know this

466
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: guy's Huggies commercial I just saw the other day with

467
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: his daughter, So you know, if you want to win

468
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: and you want to be in a big market, he's

469
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 4: a you know, a Nike athlete come to New York.

470
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 4: There's nothing going on in La Luca already has that

471
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: with Lebron, and now the next best thing is New York.

472
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm kind of I'm kind of with seeing

473
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 4: what we have with this team. You know, we haven't

474
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: had Og in the last eight or so games, so

475
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 4: he's a big piece, and you know, assessing what we

476
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 4: have and then if this isn't enough, I think you

477
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: gotta you gotta go for Gianni's man. So stay away

478
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 4: from the deadline unless it's something like I don't know,

479
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: get the Luke Nard, which the Hawks wouldn't do, but

480
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: like a sharp shooter or something like that, low cost

481
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 4: and sharpshooter, but nothing major because we gotta we gotta

482
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 4: keep everything for Giannis.

483
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 2: Yannis has hinted at playing in bigger markets. There's no doubt,

484
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: but it would take till the off season. I think.

485
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 2: I'm I know, the man's a loyal man, and he

486
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: said he's not doing it until the off season. There,

487
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 2: then and there. It could be different, but it could

488
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: be it could be thirty four going to New York.

489
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: That would be.

490
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you on the off season stuff.

491
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 4: By the way, I think with all of the cap

492
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 4: and you know, the Aprons guys like Yannas, it's just

493
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 4: going to be impossible to trade them mid season.

494
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: So I'm with you with the off season.

495
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Let's pivot to the big move you guys made this

496
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: off season, and that is joining NBC, joining Peacock. What's

497
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: that experience been like for you and the guys with

498
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: all of the shows you're doing for them.

499
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: It's honestly been great. I'm loving it. I'm having such

500
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 3: such a fun time, you know, working so much.

501
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 4: We used to do two days a week, Tuesday and Saturdays.

502
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 4: Now with the move, it's a Monday through Friday thing.

503
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: Now we have so many different shows that all of

504
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: the episodes aren't numbers on a board related. So you

505
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 4: have like small Ball, which is Kenny on Monday, you

506
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 4: have our show Tuesday, you have my show today, and

507
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: then we round out the week with numbers on a

508
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 4: board Thursday and Friday, and then we get to keep

509
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 4: our original YouTube show for our loyal dedicated fan base

510
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: on Tuesdays and Saturdays. They get extended versions of us

511
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: and so, you know, to just be able to be

512
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: in the office more, being on TV on a consistent basis,

513
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 4: it just kind of it immerges you into the league

514
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 4: a little bit more. You have to stay kind of

515
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 4: on your toes a bit on an everyday basis versus

516
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: just preparing for Tuesday and Saturday show.

517
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 3: So I love the looking at every night as a

518
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: super Bowl.

519
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: Like it's so easy to get lost in the NBA

520
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: season and you have these dead marks where it's just

521
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 4: so easy to not care. But now with the added

522
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 4: bonus days of the schedule, I just take every night

523
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 4: for what it is and try to make the most

524
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 4: of it. So like the Chris Paul news is going

525
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 4: to be a topic.

526
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, you know, you gotta you gotta care, Like I

527
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 5: don't know if last year, because it's on a Tuesday night,

528
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 5: that's like three days in between an episode for us,

529
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 5: I don't know if I would have cared as much.

530
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 4: So I'm loving to move. They've been extremely great to

531
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: work with so far, and I don't know, the energy

532
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 4: is just is just different. You turn on the you know,

533
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 4: the Peacock games, and you see, you know, all the faces,

534
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: and you know, last night Michael Jordan was was uh

535
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 4: he was back, was back, and you know, I guess

536
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: we can call him a coworker, you know, so you know,

537
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: it's been smooth, man, it's been smooth.

538
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying it.

539
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 5: Have you had any surreal like pinch me moments with

540
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 5: somebody reaching out saying, ah, I saw you guys were

541
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 5: great on TV or something like that as far as NBC,

542
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 5: not yet.

543
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 4: The one surreal moment I will say, actually, yeah, the

544
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: like who was it? I don't want to say the

545
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 4: wrong because we're Chicago. The Sun Times for the Tribune

546
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 4: came in and took they like took pictures of us

547
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: and was like, you know that was that was kind

548
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 4: of because I get the I get the Suntimes delivered

549
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 4: to my doorstep every morning, so it's like to see

550
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: them come in and want to like take pictures of

551
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: us and talk.

552
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 3: With us was a was a bit. Uh, it was

553
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 3: a bit surreal.

554
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: And then Kenny Kenny, he's uh, he did like a

555
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 4: commercial thing when he went out there and it had

556
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: like Carmelo and t Max, just all of these guys

557
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: we grew up on.

558
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: That was that was surreal.

559
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: But I'm sure those moments will will come, probably around

560
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 4: All Star or whatever, rubbing some shoulders with some of

561
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: those guys. But just being on NBC is surreal. Like

562
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 4: my parents that was. We've been with so many companies,

563
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 4: we work with so many people. The NBC move is

564
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: like the thing that got my parents what they were like, Oh.

565
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: Oh real, Actually the painted very cool, very cool. Yeah,

566
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: that's that's incredible.

567
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 5: Look, I'm impressed you're you're a new media superstar, but

568
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 5: you still subscribe to a physical newspaper.

569
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 4: That's old school. Yes, I like that's me. I'm like,

570
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 4: you see the books behind me. I need like old

571
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 4: school stuff. I get the newspaper. That's how I keep

572
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 4: up with the Bears because I'm, you know, not the

573
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 4: biggest football guy. Keep up with the White Socks that way.

574
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 4: It's just something about having a newspaper. I don't know,

575
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm definitely old school in that way.

576
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 5: Hey man, Big Bears game this weekend, Huge Bears game

577
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: this weekend. They're looking good so far. Are we getting

578
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 5: the W up in Lamba Yes? Yes, and Lambeau. I

579
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: think it's gonna be an easy w and just rolling

580
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 5: right now. And I know I'm I'm getting crazy. And

581
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 5: I was the one on our show telling my guys

582
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 5: that's calm down.

583
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 4: Let's just that's that's to see what the riot takes us.

584
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 4: But now I'm getting excited. Now I'm getting eager. One

585
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: of the things about the Bears, though, the interceptions that takeaways.

586
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 4: I grew up on a stingy Bears, gritty defense. I

587
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 4: don't know if this defense is necessarily the Bears defense

588
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: I grew up on. But I just love a Bears

589
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 4: defense that is able to cause turnovers. So I'm hoping

590
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: that we can do that and replicate some of that

591
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 4: energy this weekend. But yes, the Bears are thriving. The

592
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: city loves it, and hopefully they can surprise some people

593
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.

594
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: I love the positivity. You actually got me a little

595
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: depressed because the AJAC, the newspaper here, the Land Journal

596
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: Constitution stop printing newspapers. Maybe that's why Chris Paul said,

597
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm leaving. He was depressed yesterday. Maybe in this hotel

598
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: room didn't get a newspaper. I didn't get newspaper delivery.

599
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: I'm not Y's time out of here before we get to.

600
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: A fun little game here with you, Pierre. We get

601
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: asked this question all the time, so I want to

602
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: ask you because you got your squad there with the

603
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: numbers on the board crew, who's the best hooper of

604
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: the four of you.

605
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 3: I'm going to be honest, I hate this question. Why

606
00:28:59,160 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: it's me.

607
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: And like, in my mind because I know all of them,

608
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: it's not even a question. But obviously to you guys

609
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: and the rest of the world, you guys have no idea.

610
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 4: But yeah, like this has been a thing in our

611
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: community for years. We've done countless videos. I've spanked a

612
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: lot of them in almost ninety eight percent of the videos,

613
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 4: and yet every year there's a new group of viewership

614
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 4: that hasn't.

615
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: Seen it or doesn't know.

616
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 4: And I'm like, these other three guys haven't even played

617
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 4: varsity basketball. Like to me, it can't even there's not

618
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 4: even a conversation. And then we most recently, like last season,

619
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: Kenny had the nerve to say, hey, I think Dmails

620
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 4: would be the best if we locked in, and I'm like,

621
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: if we locked in, I would be the best.

622
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: I would be backing up k Cunning, like what are

623
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: we talking about?

624
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's by far myself, and I don't I

625
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: don't like to say it in a way where because

626
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: like everybody would pick themselves, but they know I know,

627
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: I'm a Knicks fan because I thought I was going

628
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 4: to be guard.

629
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: That's true. I guess the better way to ask it is,

630
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: who's the second best player on the second best player.

631
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 5: Is definitely Mike's definitely yeah, yeah, it's.

632
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 4: Definitely Mike Micah. Mike can shoot the ball. It should

633
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 4: be the Mills. The Mills has motor issues, you know, yes,

634
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 4: he has motor issues. So the Mills is the guy

635
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: that he's gonna he's gonna throw fits and spurts, Yes,

636
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: fifty second spurt, the first fifty seconds of a game,

637
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 4: he's going to be Shaquille O'Neill with the Los Angeles Lakers,

638
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: and then the rest of the game you're.

639
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: Going to get Celtic shock. So you know you gotta

640
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: work on that.

641
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 4: But Mike has him and then Kenny is the shoulder

642
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: thing that's limited him for the last few years, but

643
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 4: he was our defensive specialists.

644
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: Together, we make a really good team.

645
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, are you still hooping? Like, do

646
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: you play in a run like a weekly run or

647
00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: pick up run?

648
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: Now, No, we don't.

649
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: We don't play nearly as much as we used to

650
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: as much as we want to. We talked about it

651
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 4: the other day, actually about a week or so ago,

652
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 4: and Kenny and Derek we're talking about injuries, like they

653
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: don't want to play because they're scared that they would

654
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: get hurt, and I, me and Mike were kind of

655
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: baffled with that.

656
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 5: But I guess they're retired, which was surprised to be

657
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: they are retired. But we still hoop like the Bulls

658
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: had us come and hoop on their court.

659
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: We'll do like a shoot for the YouTube channel. We're

660
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: not but nothing crazy, not like we used to. We

661
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 4: used to hoop like after episodes, we'd all get in

662
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: the cargo to the gym and play random people. But

663
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 4: those days are kind of gone.

664
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: Well, if you guys ever want to come to Atlanta,

665
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 5: we'll smack you for sure.

666
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 4: No one thing about basketball. It's like riding a bike

667
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's it's my game is ready?

668
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: You know? I'm like, you have to carry your team.

669
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: Sounds like I'm like, Shay, it's no problem. It's crazy.

670
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: I'm not doing anything behind the arc because my legs

671
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 4: ain't ready to handle that responsibility. But you give me

672
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: the ball and elbows and we're gonna do some damage.

673
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: So those are like your favorite type of players right

674
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: growing up, Like, like you already said, the Kobe's, I guess,

675
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: Mellow in the mid range, just the bucket getters.

676
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: I love bucket getters because I'm I didn't play it

677
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: that way. My first player that I really love was

678
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 4: Penny Hardaway. Kobe and Penny Hardaway. So I love tall

679
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 4: point guards Kate Cunningham's of the world.

680
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 3: So I play more of that way getting guys involved.

681
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 4: But I do secretly love like a guy that just

682
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: doesn't care about being double because I can never play

683
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: that way.

684
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: It's just not in me to like just shoot over

685
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: three guys.

686
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 4: And so when I watch Kobe do it or Mellow

687
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 4: do it, I'm like, man, I wish I had that

688
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 4: type of ignorance to just like not care about my team.

689
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 3: But you know, I've been a little too.

690
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: Unselfish, the guys used to tell me in my heydays.

691
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: So yeah, I do have a love for ignorant scores.

692
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 5: That's why we're all talking about basketball instead of playing

693
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 5: NBA basketball.

694
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, fact exactly.

695
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 5: There's definitely levels too that. Another thing that's like riding

696
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 5: a bike for you pee is naming colleges that NBA

697
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 5: players played at. We're pretty bad at this, so we

698
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: only know the NBA guys and then we like look

699
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 5: at their basketball reference pages once they get into the NBA.

700
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: Not the case for you. You're a college guy as well.

701
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I will say this though, every time somebody says,

702
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 4: my heart drops because the pressure to live up.

703
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: To it is.

704
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 4: And then a lot of times the fans will like

705
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 4: run up to me and asks me in like summer league,

706
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 4: and it'll be the most randomst player and I'm like, brother,

707
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 4: I have no idea where I can't even think of

708
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 4: a guy, but like it would just be somebody from

709
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty seven.

710
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: I have no idea what college this guy went through.

711
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 4: So hopefully these are some gettable names and I don't

712
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 4: make a fool.

713
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: These are all current players, currents.

714
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 5: Okay, Uh the Pierre Andreesen of the NBA currently backing

715
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 5: up K Cunningham for the Detroit Pistons. Uh, Dannis Jenkins.

716
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 5: You know where you went to school? It's so tough, man,

717
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 5: it's impossible. I mean he went to three different Yeah,

718
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 5: we'll accept any of them.

719
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, ionat Saint John's with Patino.

720
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: Come on, you got two of the three and he

721
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: was I guess he was at the University of the Pacific.

722
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: But then you nailed it.

723
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 5: Wow, okay, I would have accepted just any one of

724
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 5: the three. That's pretty impressive and it took you all

725
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 5: of three seconds to come up with. How about nay

726
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 5: Kwon Tomlin?

727
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: He went to Kansas State and Memphis. I don't know

728
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: the third one. Come on, this is good.

729
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't know the way you were getting these, man.

730
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he had four, right, that's a weird thing.

731
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: But you got Monroe Community College Chipolo Chipolo, where the

732
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: hell is that? And then Kansas State Memphis. That's all

733
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: that matters. You got the big ones, all right.

734
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 5: I think he's got crazy story, right Nikwon Tomlin, Like

735
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 5: he didn't play high school basketball or something like that

736
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 5: got really covered at Rucker Park.

737
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: I think, what yeah, wow, that.

738
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 5: Sounds like a story from nineteen sixty seven made it

739
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 5: to the NBA.

740
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: Like that that could be a numbers on the board.

741
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: Guy never didn't play high school, didn't play varsity, but yeah, yeah,

742
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: maybe they made it.

743
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 5: How about uh Mogay Atlanta Hawk's mogay.

744
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: Oh, Washington State?

745
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 5: Maybe is ridiculous to these guys like this might be

746
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 5: hard for me, hasn't missed one yet to Mani Kamara Dayton.

747
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 5: All right, all right, I just saw him play his

748
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 5: first minutes for the Chicago Bulls like a week ago.

749
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 5: Lachland old brick their rookie.

750
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: No way, I don't got it.

00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 1: Okay, good, he's human, he's human. We did it.

00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 5: You got me of California, Riverside, never even heard of it.

754
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 5: It's a big state though.

755
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

756
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I guess that's the close that would that

757
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: be the closest college to Australia American college. He just

758
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: got on a plane.

759
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 5: It's like that. And Saint Mary's like ninety five percent

760
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 5: of the guys that played in Australia go to Saint

761
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 5: Mary somehow.

762
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is very true. How did how did he

763
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 4: play with the Bulls? You said his gut his first minutes?

764
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they lost to the Pacers.

765
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: And he looks hilarious.

766
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,439
Speaker 5: By the way, it doesn't look like an NBA play.

767
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, he sort of looks like a giant toddler has

768
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: been let out there on the floor. To me, this hair,

769
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: but he has a mustache. I know that's weird. Anyway,

770
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: he's gotta look Yeah, it's got a.

771
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,479
Speaker 5: Lot of flow on their team this year. Yeah about

772
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 5: last two, last two guys that've been around a little longer,

773
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 5: Heywood high Smith. That's a tough one, I think.

774
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hayward high Smith. Mmmm, this is one that I

896
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: and It was a beauty and it was very rare.

897
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: It was Shay Gildas Alexander at the free throw line

898
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: getting a crazy bounce, doing doing Doing, Doink, and then

899
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: Wedges in there at the line end of the first half.

900
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,200

901
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: our sixth ever weggie from the free throw line.

902
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: Wow, since we started tracking twelve years ago. It's really

903
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: five because we sort of forced one and Marcus Smart

904
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: playoff free throw it was miss and then somebody hammered

905
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: in it because it was the fiftieth wedgie of our year,

906
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: so we called it a free throw Yeah, good bute. Yeah,

907
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,440

908
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 2: TJ Leaf and Kemba Walker hating them. But this one

909
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 2: clearly the best player ever to have a free throw

910
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: weggie in our history anyways, that I remember, you know,

911
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,680

Speaker 2: MJ had a free throw weggie. I don't know.

913
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,040

914
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: around last night as J looking up to the heavens,

915
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,719

918
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 5: Like when during when shocked in, a fool was at

Speaker 5: This Isn't they really let that thing breathe?

922
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, just I mean near the end of the half,

923
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,520

Speaker 1: little bit, because not only did he stick a beautiful

933
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: wedgie at the free throw line, he scored thirty eight points,

934
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: and he took over down the stretch when the thunder

935
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: were up huge and then the Warriors got back into

936
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: the game and they needed Sga to flip the game

937
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: on its head and win it for them. They win

938
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: their thirteenth straight. They beat the Warriors one twenty four

939
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: to one to twelve. What's the record now, twenty one

940
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: and one?

941
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: Correct, that's good.

942
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: It gets still so weird. We're sort of not talking

943
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: about it really. I mean we as in like sort

944
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: of the NBA media. It's like it's there, it's amazing,

945
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 1: but we're not like going overboard. Though. Maybe you're starting

946
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: to see like more people going, wow, are they gonna

947
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: do seventy plus wins? Are they gonna do seventy four wins?

948
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 2: Because they're the only only the fourth team in NBA

949
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: history to start a season twenty one and one. That's

950
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: that's pretty good.

951
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they're the defending champs already.

952
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then those three teams, two of them won

953
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: a championship and the Warriors, you know, they lost in

954
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: seven games in the finals. So here we go.

955
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: But it did take again SGA over the final couple

956
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: minutes to put the Warriors to bed.

957
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 5: But your takeaways, I'm just happy to see the thunder

958
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 5: look a little fallible, right, you know, like, hey, even

959
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 5: they can take their foot off the gas a little bit.

960
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 5: Even they can have a team get really really hot.

961
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 5: I think that's a lot of what happened in this game.

962
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 5: The Warriors just started getting three pointers from everybody. Draymond

963
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 5: hit three in the second half. Gary Payton hit two

964
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 5: in the second half. Neither of those guys are big

965
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 5: time shooters. Caminga made one, Pat Spencer was unconscious seven

966
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 5: for a let from the field. This is a team,

967
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 5: the thunder that have been rampaging through the league to

968
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 5: start the season. We're talking about their record, They've also

969
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 5: got this crazy margin of victory. They've got a great

970
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 5: net rating. They've been blowing teams out since basically the

971
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 5: second week of the season. But in the past week

972
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 5: and a half they've actually played some close games, and

973
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 5: this one was a game that they had to go

974
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 5: out and win, and of course they went out and

975
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 5: did it. Sga was the leader. I thought, like you said,

976
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 5: seven points in the fourth went three or four from

977
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 5: the field. But Chet had nine in the fourth three

978
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 5: or four from the field. JDub had eight points three

979
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 5: or four from the field in the fourth quarter. It's

980
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 5: like anytime they needed a basket, one of those three

981
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 5: guys was able to just go out and get a basket.

982
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 5: I also thought best games so far for Jadub in

983
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 5: his return, went twenty two points, nine of sixteen from

984
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,720
Speaker 5: the field, and it was mostly just all on drives.

985
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 5: I don't think he made a three pointer last night,

986
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 5: but went eight of ten in the lane, took another

987
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 5: four free throws. Just cool to see them win a

988
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 5: game without having to be a blowout, and you know,

989
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 5: at least a little bit of doubt in a game

990
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 5: when the thunder are playing.

991
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 3: I think is exciting.

992
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say from the Golden State side,

993
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: I call this a moral victory. You don't have Steph

994
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler doesn't play in the second half because he

995
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 2: got injured. There's no Al Horford, and all of a sudden,

996
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: these guys show up. Your Pat Spencer. I thought Brandon

997
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: Pajemski look good. Seth Curry is now a member of

998
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors hitting shots. I think this is

999
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: a bit of a victory for them, just in terms

1000
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: of the depth that guys can show up and take

1001
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 2: a lead on the Thunder. Who. Yeah, we all see

1002
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: that they're twenty one to one, but not enough people

1003
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 2: are talking about I think you mentioned Chet Holmer gold

1004
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 2: three for four in that fourth quarter. He wasn't there

1005
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: at the beginning of last season because he hit he

1006
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: fell down and got and hurt his hip. So for

1007
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 2: a majority of this season he wasn't there. But for

1008
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: him to come back, I think he looks he looks better.

1009
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: And then you added in Jalen Williams, Yeah, his best game.

1010
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 2: I think they could easily win seventy five games because

1011
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: even Draymond Green was asked about it after the game

1012
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 2: and said, you know, you guys, you guys do you

1013
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: guys won seventy three games? Can that other team do it?

1014
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 2: And he starts saying it's really hard, a lot of

1015
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: things have to work out, but he just stopped himself.

1016
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: He stopped himself and had to basically think, man, that

1017
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 2: team is freaking good. They could do it. They literally

1018
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: could with the way they do it now, their depths

1019
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 2: showing up. We just talked about aj Mitchell with Pete.

1020
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: Anybody can come in and do it. How many guys

1021
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 2: have to be injured for that team to really expect

1022
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 2: them to lose? Now the playoffs again, miss two different.

1023
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: Guys right now, Hartenstein and Lude dor Carusal and Caruso,

1024
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: three guys through their best defenders.

1025
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: So they could do it. They could easily do it

1026
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: my favorit.

1027
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 5: Duel odds are down to minus one oh six for

1028
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 5: seventy or more wins. Pretty soon it's gonna be plus odds.

1029
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, seventy. I mean I I've come around to like

1030
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: seventy seems very doable. Yes, it's the seventy four. It's

1031
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: actually eclipsing the seventy three and nine Warriors. That to

1032
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: me is still like I can't go there. It's just

1033
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: like seems insane because it is one of these things

1034
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: like one bad week, two losses over the stretch of

1035
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: like a week, and it's like almost like out of reach.

1036
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: But man, what I looked about SGA last night, I

1037
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: felt like he was taking it personally that they were

1038
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: putting Buddy healed on him. And I know the Worriers

1039
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of options, like you know, especially

1040
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: when Jimmy Butler went out, but like he took offense

1041
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 1: to that he would like when he hit that step

1042
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: back three over Buddy. He was for a guy that

1043
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: barely shows emotion, he was like screaming and motive at

1044
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: his own bench right like he's like I felt he

1045
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: felt like disrespected, Like come on, I'm the MVP.

1046
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 2: Man.

1047
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: Wait, buddy healed because then he scored on another two times.

1048
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: So that's pretty cool.

1049
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: Say they're awesome twenty one and one, and maybe people

1050
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: aren't talking about him because like what do you say

1051
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: at this point, doesn't matter who plays, doesn't matter who's

1052
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: in the lineup. They either just like kick the snot

1053
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: out of teams or even these close games, you've got

1054
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: the MVP. That's the crazy part. That's like they have

1055
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: this luxury of like even in a close game, we'll

1056
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: go to one of the best clutch shooters in the game.

1057
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: He's gonna make the right decision.

1058
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's gonna make a shot and he's gonna

1059
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 5: get called out by Jamal Crawford. The moves he's doing.

1060
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 5: Jamal Crawford's like, oh, step back left coming and it's

1061
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 5: a step back left. There's just unstoppable Shay and he

1062
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,720
Speaker 5: can get into what he wants to get to basically

1063
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 5: anytime he wants to. It's just it's impossible to even

1064
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 5: look at their schedule and think of when they're gonna lose.

1065
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a shock. It's like they got'll be

1066
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 5: off right, Like they don't play it until Friday, so

1067
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 5: they should probably handle the Mavericks. He would think maybe

1068
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 5: at the second night of a back to back. They

1069
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 5: don't have a back to back until December twenty third,

1070
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 5: so maybe playing at the Spurs December twenty third, that

1071
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 5: would be Game twenty nine. Otherwise it'd be a shocker,

1072
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 5: maybe a cup shocker against the Suns, who played him

1073
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 5: pretty well the last time they played.

1074
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: I just I just realized what's gonna happen here. So

1075
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: the the thunder are gonna win how do I put this,

1076
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna win the Cup? Right, So you're gonna win

1077
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: that final game that will not count to their regular

1078
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: season schedule. Interesting, and that will end up being let's

1079
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: say the seventy third to tie the Warriors or the

1080
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: seventy fourth win in the totality of a season. But

1081
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: then people are gonna be like, yeah, but it doesn't count.

1082
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, but they won that game in the season.

1083
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 2: So if they don't win seventy three games, you're saying, well,

1084
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 2: either or like I'm saying, if they win seventy five,

1085
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: then they're all good and they're all good.

1086
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm just saying it's going to be important

1087
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: either coming up short or tying or passing, but then

1088
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: people aren't going to be able to count. It isn't

1089
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: that what's going to happen.

1090
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:24,479
Speaker 5: I hope that happen.

1091
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 2: And they lost it last year, so that is some

1092
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 2: sort of motivation going into the NBA Cup to do something.

1093
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 2: And you mentioned Shae getting mad at people getting disgusted.

1094
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 2: That's another thing for Shay to help improve his focus

1095
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: because we all talk, but we all know the legend

1096
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 2: like an MJ found somebody in the front or like

1097
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 2: Luca something to motivate him. But Shay is so even keeled.

1098
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 2: He never gets like that. Maybe that's something that can

1099
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 2: turn up his game because they aren't even keeled team,

1100
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 2: and that's why they look like the San Antonio Spurs

1101
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: of the old. They just they're so even keeled and

1102
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 2: they'll get there to the end when they will probably

1103
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 2: be around the mid seventies. It wouldn't be surprising.

1104
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: Chase talked about motivation being I didn't like how we

1105
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: partied when we won the title. It was like almost disappointed.

1106
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: We didn't know how to open bottles of champagne. Cruso

1107
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: had to teach us. He didn't say those exact words,

1108
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: but I'm saying he wasn't like, you know, maybe it

1109
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: was weird how they handled their victory. So he has

1110
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: talked about that.

1111
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 5: He's talked about that, and he also mentioned he didn't

1112
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 5: think that they played all that great in the playoffs, right,

1113
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 5: So that to me is like, I guess, two seven

1114
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,240
Speaker 5: game series and you know, I think probably the Pacers

1115
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 5: was a little more shocking that they took the Thunder

1116
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 5: to seven games. The Nuggets had Jokic and they have,

1117
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 5: you know, at least a number one who can go

1118
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 5: head to head with SGA. But hearing him say that

1119
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 5: and seeing the way they've come out to start the season,

1120
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 5: it feels like they're chasing greatness, right, And that's clearly

1121
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 5: what the Warriors were doing back in the fifteen sixteen season,

1122
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 5: and you need to have that mindset if you're going

1123
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 5: to challenge for seventy wins. So at this point, I'm

1124
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 5: with these skeets. I think they will get seventy or more.

1125
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 5: And it's just a question of at the end of

1126
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 5: the season, how much do they want to preserve their

1127
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,240
Speaker 5: stars to get ready for the playoffs.

1128
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but even if they preserve their stars, they can win.

1129
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, I would have to look at the schedule

1130
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 5: to know who they are going against, and maybe those

1131
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 5: games matter a lot more for you know, maybe they're

1132
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 5: playing the Trailblazers and they're trying to get into the

1133
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 5: play in tournament or something like that. In that case,

1134
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 5: I am taking Obdy over Usman Jing.

1135
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1136
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: And also and like we say that because of their depths,

1137
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: and it's true, You're right. I agree with you and

1138
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: I've said it too, like wow, they are just a

1139
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: deep team. They got any guys they roll out there,

1140
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: they're going to compete. But I think that does diminish.

1141
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: And last night's game is a perfect example, like of

1142
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: what SGA does and means for the team in close games,

1143
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: Like they don't have a twenty one in one record.

1144
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: If SGA is not playing in you know, ten eleven

1145
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: of these games, they don't. You've watched the game, he said,

1146
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: a huge shots moments completely takes over and they wouldn't

1147
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: have that unbelievable record like this is I'm not saying

1148
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: anything like crazy, but I don't want to diminish it

1149
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: like what he's done, because everyone's also like, yeah, yo

1150
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: Kich he's the MVP. No he's not. No, he's not

1151
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,959
Speaker 1: not when your team's twenty one to one. I'm sorry,

1152
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: but I mean he leads in every statistical category. Yeah,

1153
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: but the point is to win. And he's literally only

1154
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: lost once and that was a close game.

1155
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's leading a motivated locker room. Yokich's team

1156
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 2: has lost four straight games at home to some five

1157
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 2: hundred teams if I'm doing the standings correctly. That's the

1158
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 2: thing that keeps okay See at the top of the

1159
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 2: top is that they're ready every single game. And that's

1160
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 2: what Draymond Green was being asked about postgame. Can this

1161
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: team do what you guys did? Be motivated to be

1162
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 2: the all time greatest NBA regular season team like you

1163
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 2: guys were, And he said, it's hard, so many things

1164
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,479
Speaker 2: have to go right. That took several years off my life,

1165
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: is what he said. He made it about him thinking

1166
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 2: about you man, it's about okay See. But they could

1167
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 2: do it because they are motivated and they're so freaking

1168
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 2: even keeled. But yeah, she has to play eighty of

1169
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: the eighty two games or whatever. He has to play

1170
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 2: a lot of them.

1171
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: Celtics hold off the late Knicks charge to win one

1172
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: twenty three one seventeen in a rematch of an East

1173
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 1: semi final. Thought this was a very entertaining game, had

1174
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: wild swings in this one too. Celtics were down huge,

1175
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: they could not hit a shot to save their life.

1176
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: Suddenly they're back in control in the second quarter and

1177
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown led the way forty two points, sixteen to

1178
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty four, shooting four assists, four boards. He will be

1179
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: one of the four Jalens on the American All Star Team.

1180
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, you can lock that in at this point.

1181
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 3: I think so.

1182
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Jalen Johnson, like Pierre said, it's probably Jayalen Duran.

1183
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a lock with the Pistons record or

1184
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: very close. And then it's Jaillen Brown and Jalen Brunson.

1185
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: Those are four too bad. J Dubb obviously will not

1186
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: make not gonna make it. Probably, No, I don't think.

1187
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 5: I mean by the time we get to the All

1188
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 5: Star Game, they'll played like, yeah, I guess checks probably.

1189
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 2: The second you need sixteen Americans. Man, you're not gonna

1190
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: make it. I get that's the problem.

1191
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget.

1192
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 5: Yeah that you can overdose, right, you can go over

1193
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 5: Then they gonna have twenty Americans and then they'll just

1194
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 5: add extra international.

1195
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: Laundry or place team Jalens Man do it.

1196
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wrong about Jalen coming into the season.

1197
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 2: I thought his knee would be a problem, but it ain't.

1198
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: He was awesome in the second quarter. What he tried,

1199
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 2: he dropped eighteen. Then he dropped fifteen in the third quarter.

1200
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: And then I liked what the Knicks did. They blitzed

1201
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: and they got the ball out of his hands a

1202
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: little bit. They forced other guys to do it, and

1203
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 2: Jordan Walsh was awesome. He was great. Yeah, he was

1204
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 2: the sort of outlet that Jalen Brown would have to

1205
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 2: pass to and he would and he's not a score,

1206
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 2: so he would make the pass to a shooter. Shooter

1207
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: would miss. He got an offensive rebound, put back, offensive rebound,

1208
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 2: put back offensive rebound on three straight possessions, and he

1209
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 2: had a steal in there. So the Celtics, I can't

1210
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: believe how good while they're playing. When you mentioned Jordan Walsh,

1211
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 2: I thought Hugo Gonzalez was good in the second quarter

1212
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 2: for this team. So Joe Mizzoula, He's going to get

1213
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 2: some Coach of the Year votes if they continue to

1214
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: play like this. That's why the Eastern Conference is kind

1215
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 2: of fun. There's a bunch of teams that could win

1216
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 2: this fricking thing.

1217
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hugo was good, Walsh was good, and the other

1218
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 5: unsung heroes I thought were Josh Might not hitting a

1219
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 5: couple of threes and Anthonty Simons like gave the Celtics

1220
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 5: a little flicker of hope, I thought right at the

1221
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 5: end of the first quarter, going into the second quarter

1222
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 5: and making some shots to kind of get the exactly.

1223
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,399
Speaker 5: That's a guy that we haven't talked about at all

1224
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: since coming over. And it's just a weird, weird Celtics season.

1225
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 5: Like we've mentioned before, they've been such a major player

1226
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 5: in the NBA for the past what seven years, and

1227
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 5: basically to have them just be a middle of the

1228
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 5: pack team as unusual. But Jalen Brown was great. You

1229
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,720
Speaker 5: could tell the Knicks were missing Og. They were switching

1230
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 5: everything up until the fourth quarter, and Jalen Brown was

1231
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 5: just killing anybody on switches. It was yet brun or

1232
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 5: Deuce McBride on him. Get into the lane, finish, create

1233
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 5: for somebody, or just shoot a jumper over the top.

1234
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 5: I think a game of runs is the best game

1235
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 5: to watch. Once heam gets out to a huge start

1236
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 5: like the Knicks did last night, then the Celtics come back,

1237
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 5: and then the Knicks come back like the Tilts to it. Yeah,

1238
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 5: are just very very fun Knicks, though kind of lost

1239
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 5: their cool. I thought they went away from what was

1240
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 5: working in the first half. It was driving kick, get

1241
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 5: some wide open three pointers. And then when things started

1242
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 5: to turn sour, Celtics started playing well. It was like,

1243
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 5: let me try and fix this. Towns to me, really

1244
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 5: poor defensive game. He was really getting lost in the

1245
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 5: sauce with all of the referees stuff, even when he

1246
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 5: was scoring, thinking he was supposed to be getting and ones,

1247
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 5: a lot of confused carl.

1248
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 2: Faces, where's the call?

1249
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 5: Where's the call? And then the defense, like I said,

1250
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 5: was pretty bad. They just got really physical with them,

1251
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 5: the Celtics did, and it was very frustrating for Towns.

1252
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 5: And once he went goes over the edge, sometimes he

1253
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 5: can't necessarily get it back.

1254
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they went small on him defending him. That

1255
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 2: helped get under his skin for sure, and Jalen Brown

1256
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 2: was just going after him at possession after possession. But

1257
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 2: it was fun to see the Knicks go after Jalen

1258
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 2: Brown after those monstrous second and third quarters, and Jalen

1259
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: he didn't have a bucket until five seconds left and

1260
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 2: the game was over. In the fourth quarter, he didn't

1261
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: have one until right at the end when it was

1262
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 2: garbage time, Like they just threw up ahead and he

1263
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 2: needed a bucket. So that was great to see the

1264
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 2: next go ahead of them the next I think defensively

1265
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 2: they miss og a little bit. They had to. He's

1266
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 2: coming back probably on December seventh, which is bad news

1267
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: for Toronto Raptors fans because he'll probably be back for

1268
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 2: that quarterfinal game in the NBA Cup. It sure feels

1269
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 2: that way. There's some talk that Wemby might be back

1270
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 2: to for the quarterfinal of the NBA Cup game potentially,

1271
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: So I'm just pumping the NBA Cup.

1272
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: We haven't talked a lot about the Celtics, but we're

1273
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: going to be forced to as they keep getting these

1274
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: like quality wins, right because they beat Cleveland on Sunday

1275
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: and then they take down another really good team in

1276
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: the Knicks there last night on the CACK, I will

1277
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: say John Brown, Wait, we went over how great a

1278
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: game he played. What I really loved is he actually

1279
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: started like garbage. The kid was a bad start. He

1280
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: stepped out of bounds on the first play, then he

1281
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: lost a ball like a minute later. Josh Hart was

1282
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: all over him. He was missing all of his shots,

1283
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: so he checked out. In the first quarter. He had

1284
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: like three turnovers, two fouls, and I was like, well,

1285
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a long night for Celtics fans.

1286
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: But that to me is like, oh yeah, that's a

1287
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: guy that is a superstar proving his point comes back in,

1288
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: had that huge second quarter, a huge third quarter. He's

1289
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: deserving of like end of the MVP ballot like type

1290
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: votes right now, you know, you know, like a like

1291
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: a little fiftle place vote there to me, which means nothing,

1292
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: I know, but still he's played that well. Yeah, but

1293
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: I also wrote my notes the game ball had to

1294
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: have been cut up into two, so he was like

1295
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 1: a I don't know, chainsaw or something to cut in

1296
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: half and give half of it to Hugo Gonzalez, who

1297
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: was awesome in the second quarter, played the entire quarter great,

1298
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 1: and then Jordan Walsh at the end he just kept

1299
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,479
Speaker 1: driving offensive rebounds. Ye yeah, like giving them another chance.

1300
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: He did so many times. He had four offensive rebounds

1301
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: four to four from the floor, had a steal ahead

1302
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: of block. So those two guys bringing the energy.

1303
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah for this. Yeah. When the next took a lead

1304
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 2: in that fourth quarter, it was all Jordan Walsh. Three

1305
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: straight offensive possessions, offensive rebounds on possessions. You wouldn't think

1306
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: it'd come from Jordan Walsh, that's for sure.

1307
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Other games last night, Harrison Barnes another thirty one point

1308
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: night for him. Spurs beat the Grizzlies. The other Barnes

1309
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes in the East twenty eight points. He did everything.

1310
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: Once again, I watched the majority of this one. Raptors

1311
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: beat the Blazers in a close one. Anthony Edwards had

1312
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: a very easy late layup to force overtime. It's like,

1313
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: here you go, sir, have this layup, get us into

1314
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: extra time. The Wolves edged the Pelicans one in the

1315
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: overtime period, and then Tyres Maxy scored twenty of his

1316
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: thirty five and the third quarter seventy six Ers beat

1317
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: the Wizards. Any of those games you want to address.

1318
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Fricking Harrison Barnes.

1319
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 5: Spurs are undefeated. When Harrison Barnes scores fifteen or more points, Wow,

1320
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 5: there's a stat he's maybe the MVP, maybe give him

1321
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 5: a place of the ballot.

1322
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: MVP votes for Harrison Barnes. Mister one percent.

1323
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Sean Elliott was saying it after every basket he made,

1324
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 5: and I only saw the highlights of this one. So

1325
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 5: then I went and looked at the box score and

1326
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 5: Harrison Barnes went ten for twenty from the field. Yes,

1327
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 5: sounds like mister fifty percent.

1328
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: It's a little tongue in cheek from Sean Elliott, I think, yeah, but.

1329
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 5: It's pretty he was going. He was going, So Sara

1330
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 5: agreed with the kabooms. Every time mister one, mister one

1331
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 5: hundred percent, tune into our YouTube channel. Later, I'm gonna

1332
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 5: pull all these clips together. Dylan Harper's back, uh for

1333
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 5: the Spurs. He's been on a little bit of a

1334
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 5: roll since returning. Had fifteen points, six assists and zero

1335
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 5: turnovers last night. It's played four games since we're turning

1336
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 5: from injury, zero turnovers in any of them, shooting fifty

1337
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 5: percent coming off the bench for the Spurs right now.

1338
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 5: Fox made a lot of shots late for them, But

1339
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 5: Dylan Harper man had a great start to the season,

1340
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 5: went down with the injury. But since coming back, like

1341
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 5: hasn't missed a step. No, just looks so savvy, looks

1342
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 5: like he's twenty eight years old, not necessarily in the face,

1343
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 5: he's got a young enough face, but like he plays

1344
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 5: like a man. He knows how to get his baskets

1345
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 5: the way he wants to super impressive from them and

1346
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 5: for the spurs to not fall apart with one be going.

1347
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 2: Like you said, six and two, is that the record

1348
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,439
Speaker 2: in games without Victor Wembinyama And you got a young

1349
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 2: player playing well, and you got an old player who's

1350
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 2: not that old and Harrison Barnes, but you got a

1351
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 2: deer and fuck, it feels like they got so much

1352
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 2: step So it is a little scary for the rest

1353
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 2: of the leaf. This guy comes back who's supposed to

1354
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 2: be back very soon along with Stefan Castle. They got

1355
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 2: so many freaking parts. Yeah they are, They're super scary.

1356
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. That really is the biggest takeaway from the rookie

1357
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: class is how much of these guys just look like

1358
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 1: they've been playing in the NBA for seven or eight years.

1359
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Harper ca Nipple and Cooper Flag obviously at moments coward like.

1360
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: There's just like so many guys are like what yeast

1361
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: games in the NBA. It's like they don't look like it.

1362
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly right. They all look savvy. There's a

1363
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 5: lot of savvy out there. I mean, I guess you

1364
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 5: would say with regards to the Pelicans, I think there

1365
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 5: are some youth moments for Fears and Queen like. Those

1366
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 5: guys look a little bit like their rookies to me.

1367
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 5: But they play really well, they play really well off

1368
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 5: each other, but then they make some silly plays. It

1369
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 5: was late in the fourth quarter, which is why the

1370
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 5: Pelicans have blown some of these games, including last night,

1371
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 5: and was just awesome in the second half. Thirty four

1372
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 5: points of his forty four came in the second half,

1373
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 5: played all twenty seven minutes of the second half and overtime,

1374
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 5: and Chris Finch was eventually just like, let's just not

1375
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 5: even do a screen, just go play one on one

1376
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 5: and he was unstoppable.

1377
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 2: It was hilarious. Yeah, the fact that New Orleans had

1378
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: thirty five buckets in the paint, that's a lot of

1379
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 2: freaking points, a lot of seventy points in the paint.

1380
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 2: They just weren't playing hard defensive lead and that's what

1381
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 2: Minnesota does when they need to. Here comes Anthony Edwards.

1382
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 2: Although yeah, him playing the twenty nine minute so that

1383
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 2: he needed to play, that's a bad sign for that team. Yeah,

1384
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 2: I had to had to twenty four plus. Yeah, I

1385
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 2: had to get it, get it in there.

1386
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 5: Updating my notes, even though I'm not going to say

1387
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 5: it again.

1388
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: No, you won't say it, all right, but weird, that's

1389
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: weird though you were saying the Warriors, that's sort of

1390
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: like one of those quality losses because they were shorthanded

1391
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: against a really good team. But this sounds like not

1392
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: a great win from Minnesota now having to go to

1393
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: extra time against Polka.

1394
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,919
Speaker 2: I mean, that's who they are. That is who they've

1395
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: been the last couple of years. They get it done.

1396
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 2: When it comes to March, they turn it on and

1397
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 2: then April boom, here we are. We're going to the

1398
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 2: conference finals. So there's that. But as I've said, they

1399
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 2: kind of need an asshole in the room. Maybe Chris

1400
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Paul joins the club to be that extra guy who

1401
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 2: knows there's that. Speaking of a backup guard who likes

1402
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 2: to drive his team, Jamal Sheen needs to be spoken

1403
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 2: of with the Toronto Raptors because he came in. He

1404
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,479
Speaker 2: had a half the first half interview, and he said, listen,

1405
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 2: we just weren't playing hard defensively. We were sticking too

1406
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 2: much to the scouting report and we were allowing open threes,

1407
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 2: which is exactly what happened. They're doubling Denny, and they

1408
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 2: weren't getting out to guys like Toumani Kamara, who splashed

1409
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 2: four threes in that first quarter. Not an incredible three

1410
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 2: point shooter, but he's good enough when he's wide open.

1411
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 2: So they scored thirty nine points on the Raptors. But then,

1412
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 2: as he said, the bench picked it up, and that's

1413
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 2: exactly what they did. And then they Scottie Barnes, the

1414
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Defensive Player of the month. Just forget they

1415
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 2: had that out. Yeah, this deserving, though, very deserving. This

1416
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 2: is the second year, right or it's the third year.

1417
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 2: They haven't done it forever, but yeah, well he's he

1418
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 2: blocked was It Avidia with six seconds left to ice

1419
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 2: the game. That's like, that's beautiful because he had another

1420
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 2: block on Danny Avidya, which was awesome, blocking him from

1421
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 2: the perimeter. He shut him down all the way into

1422
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 2: the lane and then and then blocked him so it's

1423
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 2: great that Ingram is there to take off a lot

1424
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 2: of pressure offensively, so he can just playing the post

1425
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 2: and that drive when he needs to, that drive and

1426
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 2: dunk with the left hand. I get twenty eight, seven

1427
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 2: and seven for him. So oh and I got to

1428
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 2: include this stat trait because he likes screen assists. I

1429
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 2: love them, yacka pertl four point four screen assists per

1430
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 2: game second in the NBA. Man, he just opens things

1431
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 2: up for that team, oh quick, quickly cooking. They should

1432
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 2: have won by more, but they got it. Played a

1433
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 2: good team. Yeah, that was a fun game too.

1434
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean I watched a lot of that one too,

1435
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: obviously being the wraps, it came down to the wire.

1436
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: But Scotti burns this guy. He You have to watch

1437
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Raptors games to really understand how good he is this

1438
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: year because sometimes it shows up in the box score

1439
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes it doesn't. I got the last night was

1440
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: one where it did obviously twenty eight points and what

1441
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 1: seven boards, six assists. He unfortunately a lot of turnovers,

1442
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 1: but then he has the defensive stats, but he is

1443
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: just he has command on both ends of the floor

1444
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: right now, and the three point shot he takes with

1445
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: confidence he feels good about it. Got the little flips

1446
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: in there, a little dinkers and dumpers around the rim,

1447
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: the jumper, and this was a game where Brandon Ingram

1448
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: was not cooking and it was all the other guys.

1449
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: It was nice to see Grady Dick have a good

1450
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: performance off the bench, he said, Shed, I mean, he

1451
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: doesn't really do anything here in the box score for

1452
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: the most part, but made the biggest plays at the end.

1453
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: That pass to Ingram cutting loost in the corner and

1454
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: then he cut to the net was a gorgeous pass

1455
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: because he waited just a beat longer as the shot

1456
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: clock was taking down. He knew obviously time and score.

1457
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: Gorgeous dime, I thought inside from him, So he's played well.

1458
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was getting a little scary with the reps.

1459
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 2: It seemed like every single one of their possessions was

1460
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 2: literally twenty twenty one seconds. What are we doing here?

1461
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, oh yeah, this guy

1462
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 2: who's just hanging out on the perimeter, Bang find him.

1463
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 2: So that was a beautiful pass from Jamal Shed Also

1464
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 2: great to see Charles Oakley and Antonio Davis in the crowd.

1465
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 2: Gave a nice applause big applause, bigg a plot.

1466
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: I thought they gave a nice one to Davis and

1467
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: then even louder one yeah to oak And I think

1468
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: that's right, even though Davis wasn't an All star when

1469
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: he played for the Reps on here, but he's just beloved. Yeah,

1470
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: and even the clips are showing him like, oh yeah,

1471
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: I forgot. He was basically like sort of Rodman, diving

1472
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: into the crowd, obviously Joscelyn and fighting with everybody.

1473
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 5: They can steal him. They could steal Charles Oakley. You know,

1474
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 5: he was cast aside James and the Knicks, so he's

1475
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 5: a free agent legends wise, you know, he shows up

1476
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 5: at like Calves games as well as he was there

1477
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 5: for a while. Not a ton of bulls, no ties,

1478
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 5: I don't fans love yeah, so I think, uh.

1479
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 2: They could take him. Yeah, And like you said, he

1480
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 2: got a bigger applause Antonio Davis, who was there way longer.

1481
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: Oakley only played I think just over two hundred games

1482
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 2: for them. Was he didn't play a ton, but he

1483
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,439
Speaker 2: is reminded why were they there? I don't know, Defart,

1484
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure. I wanted somebody to ask him about

1485
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 2: sitting there courtside.

1486
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: Absolute uh six Ers.

1487
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 5: Have been terrible in third quarters. I think that the

1488
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 5: second worst third quarter team in the league, behind only

1489
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 5: the Pelicans. So you're almost the worst. But a good

1490
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,679
Speaker 5: way to solve that is just half Tyres Maxio nuts

1491
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 5: twenty of his thirty five. Like you said, got a dunk,

1492
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 5: raised the roof. I'll love raising you do. You don't

1493
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 5: see it enough these days. I'm gonna see a young

1494
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:12,480
Speaker 5: guy raising.

1495
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 2: I keep it going.

1496
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: I thought it came up last season. Yeah, I doing

1497
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: it last season, and we talked about it for a

1498
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,560
Speaker 1: second because we were all like, yeah, that's great. I

1499
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: can't remember who.

1500
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 5: Let me go deep into my I'll find it because

1501
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 5: if it happened, I made note of it. Okay, good

1502
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 5: because it doesn't happen enough.

1503
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: I remember you bringing it up. I swear over the

1504
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: last year or two came back into the case of

1505
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: somebody raising the roof.

1506
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to what's better raising the roof or

1507
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks doing the deer Antlersly, this is weird.

1508
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 2: This is weird.

1509
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know Joannis did it a long long time

1510
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: ago when he did the antlers, and then we've seen

1511
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 1: it recently Myles Turner, I think pulled it out.

1512
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, raising the roof is better.

1513
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 5: Ol Grin on March twentieth, twenty twenty four, had five

1514
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:58,599
Speaker 5: dunks in a thirty five point game against the Jazz,

1515
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 5: and he raised the roof on a big dunk. We

1516
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 5: talked about it, no doubt, absolutely, Yeah, I love it.

1517
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 5: See that's why I had to update that. Anthony Edwards note,

1518
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 5: what if I ever need to go back and look

1519
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 5: how many minutes he played in the second half of

1520
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 5: a game against the Pelicans.

1521
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 2: You're right, I love the Google search. No doubt that's

1522
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 2: a Google Drive search. It's important.

1523
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: We'll running a little long here, so just so we'll

1524
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: touch on this news briefly. But Pelican stars Zion Williamson

1525
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: has a grade to right hip adductor strain. The team

1526
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: announced this yesterday. Zion, He's already missed eleven games earlier

1527
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 1: this season. He's going to be reevaluated in three weeks.

1528
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: The adductor muscles, for those that don't know, trade helped

1529
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,839
Speaker 1: me out here, but I think they're like the muscles

1530
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 1: located in the inner thigh, providing stability for the pelvis.

1531
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Uh important for activities like running and jumping very important,

1532
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: So he's going to be reevaluated in three weeks. Like,

1533
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: I don't even what's her to say at this point.

1534
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 5: Here's what to say. Time to move on, Yeah, trade

1535
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 5: him for anything, literally, if you can get one pick back.

1536
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 5: Maybe a team would still roll the dice on Zion Williamson.

1537
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 5: Still a talented guy, and if you can get him

1538
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,680
Speaker 5: on the court, he's going to be there for you.

1539
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 5: But guess what, even if he can't, his contract is

1540
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 5: non guaranteed. So the Pelicans, if they wanted, they could

1541
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 5: just wave them. Maybe that's a smart move to do

1542
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 5: as well. Why do you keep building your team around

1543
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,360
Speaker 5: this guy when you can't be sure he'll ever play

1544
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 5: five straight games? They've given him six and a half

1545
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 5: years at this point. If he goes to another team

1546
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:33,880
Speaker 5: and he's awesome, sorry, I mean that sucks for you,

1547
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 5: but it's like we did the best we could. How

1548
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 5: many different versions of a team have been built around

1549
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 5: Zion Williamson. How many different administrations have been in charge

1550
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 5: of building those teams At this point, it's just like

1551
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 5: not worth the hassle, even if he gets healthy, Like

1552
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 5: you might look like fools down the line if he

1553
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 5: finally is able to play for a full season. I

1554
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 5: wouldn't bet on it at this point because I did

1555
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 5: think he was going to play this season. Came in shape,

1556
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 5: looked great. Yet we went through all of that, the

1557
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 5: nice go tea, that's the reason task. But at this point,

1558
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 5: it's like shop him, see if anybody is willing to

1559
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 5: bite on him, and if not, see you later.

1560
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, yeah, I agree. We had this discussion last

1561
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,600
Speaker 2: year because his salary is not guaranteed each year and

1562
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 2: it all depends on if he number one plays and

1563
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 2: he meets his body fat percentage requirement. But I bought

1564
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 2: into this year because he said, I've learned how to

1565
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 2: be in the best possible condition I can be. And

1566
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 2: it wasn't just an off season thing. He said. It

1567
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 2: was from his personal trainer during last year's season, and

1568
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 2: so he was in and out last year. But I

1569
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: thought listening to him, part of it was just his

1570
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 2: trainer saying like, at this point, we're done. I mean,

1571
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 2: our season is done. The Pelicans stunck, so it was

1572
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:55,680
Speaker 2: smart not to just play him every single game. So

1573
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,560
Speaker 2: I was buying in with a new administration, with the

1574
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:03,040
Speaker 2: new Joe Dumars, who just kept on plugging. He loves him,

1575
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 2: he says, I love Joe. Joe was definitely pushing him.

1576
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 2: But you could see with the way they got spanked

1577
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 2: so early in this season that the locker room wasn't right.

1578
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 2: He wasn't leading the locker room in those twenty point

1579
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 2: losses that they were suffering. So, yeah, I'm what we're

1580
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 2: at here now. He's playing ten games. If he gets

1581
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 2: over half, that's a huge accomplishment. If he plays over

1582
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:25,440
Speaker 2: half an NBA season, that's a huge accomplishment.

1583
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: He has played in forty five percent of the Pelicans

1584
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: games since he came in the league.

1585
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty you'll take that. Yeah, it'll be a good year.

1586
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Spot at two hundred and twenty four out of a

1587
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 1: possible nearly five hundred games.

1588
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're right there. Yes, I went into the doctors

1589
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 2: and see if there was some connection between the left

1590
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 2: ham string or the adductor, but really it's just it's

1591
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 2: just gonna be there forever. And I'm just trying to

1592
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 2: remember now as you ask, what the adductor is inside

1593
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 2: of the thigh while the abductor is on the outside

1594
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 2: of the hip. What's the great mnemout device to remember

1595
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 2: I always got a what's the ad doctor? What's the

1596
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: ab doctor?

1597
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 5: The way I learned it was like an abduction is

1598
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 5: taking something away, So the abductors on the outside are

1599
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 5: taking things away from the midline of your body.

1600
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good, that works, that's right, great grades, so

1601
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: you're a doctor.

1602
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 5: Nope, Nope. That's one of the few things I remember.

1603
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 5: Remember that, and the anatomical snuff box. You're gonna want

1604
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 5: to zoom in ring.

1605
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Wow, you see that.

1606
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 5: Everybody's got it. It's called the anatomical snuff box. Right

1607
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 5: there where the tendons of your thumb. Two tendons put

1608
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 5: some stuff right in there.

1609
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Wow, so good, Maybe get something.

1610
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: I did final thought on this, I did wonder if

1611
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Joe Dumars and the Pelicans front office thought that potentially

1612
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: trading Zion would be some sort of backup plan to

1613
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 1: justify trading the unprotected pick for dear Queen, and like,

1614
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, like if that worst case scenario, will just

1615
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: then trade Zion and get a pickback is what I'm

1616
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: getting out here. But then the problem with that now

1617
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: is Zion's value has never been lower. Yes, so it's like, ugh,

1618
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: it just sucks. At this point, we have to talk

1619
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,879
Speaker 1: about Zion when he actually plays, not when there's another headline.

1620
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: Then he misses three weeks, that's where we're at. Yeah,

1621
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: we've been there.

1622
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's lower than last season, but there are good

1623
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 2: games and it is only three weeks. If I'm going

1624
01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 2: to be positive about the Pelicans front office, he is

1625
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 2: going to come back and you could see him play

1626
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 2: because he does play awesome when he plays. Even this

1627
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 2: year in his ted games, he played pretty good.

1628
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: So wait, you're hoping he comes back. He comes back,

1629
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: and then you trade them before the deadline?

1630
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, sure, because it's it's dire in New Orleans.

1631
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Even watching the games there, I think the cameras are

1632
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 2: zooming in close on everything because they don't want to

1633
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 2: show you the empty seats. They don't want to show

1634
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 2: you what's going on out there because it's bad. Yeah,

1635
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 2: it's just how can you blame them?

1636
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 3: Yep?

1637
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, But I mean they also have a little energy

1638
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 5: I think around fears and at least they have so

1639
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,600
Speaker 5: that to me is kind of it's similar to like

1640
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 5: firing Nico Harrison, right, Like you don't want this hanging

1641
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,280
Speaker 5: over Cooper flag. You don't want Zion hanging over what's

1642
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 5: going to be the next era of New Orleans. So

1643
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,639
Speaker 5: even though they don't have their pick, like they blew it. Sorry,

1644
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 5: that's long gone at this point. It's time to just

1645
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 5: focus on the new guys who have your team actually excited.

1646
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: I went on KOC earlier this week. He proposed a trade.

1647
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: You know, Koc loves the trade machine does. He proposed

1648
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 1: the Lakers making a move for Herb Jones, and it

1649
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: would take like Gabe Vincent Dalton connect. There may have

1650
01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: been a little bit more for to make the contracts

1651
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: work and a first round pick, like a future first

1652
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: round pick. I didn't think it was that crazy, Like

1653
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: I think the Pelicans should do that. Yeah, yeah, probably Yeah.

1654
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 1: And there's a guy that can't really stay healthy as

1655
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: it is, but the idea is that he might slot

1656
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: in there well with the Lakers in a limited role,

1657
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: just a defensive minded guy. I think it makes some

1658
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: sense anyway, So want to throw it in. Yeah yeah,

1659
01:16:56,920 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: other news here before we get to Wobo and pick them.

1660
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: Veteran forward Danilo Gallinari the Rooster, announced his retirement from

1661
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: basketball on Tuesday. He was drafted sixth overall that shocked me.

1662
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 1: I remember him him being drafted that high and eight

1663
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: by the Knicks after four professional years in Italy, and

1664
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: then Gallinari spent sixteen years in the NBA, played fourteen

1665
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 1: seasons because he unfortunately lost two full seasons due to

1666
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: an ACL tear in thirteen fourteen I guess it was,

1667
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 1: and then twenty two to twenty three later on at

1668
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: the end of his career. Any thoughts on a very

1669
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: good player. He will go into the I don't know,

1670
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: a very good good Hall of Fame. I'm not sure

1671
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: what tier you're putting him. He was a solid player though.

1672
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 2: He was solid. That's why the Boston Celtics said, come

1673
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 2: on by, maybe we can win with you, to try

1674
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,680
Speaker 2: and win a championship with him and didn't align for

1675
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 2: Danilo Gallinari budd he won a championship this past year

1676
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 2: in Puerto Rico, so he's kind of retiring on MVP

1677
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 2: Finals MVP he was the guy, So a very good

1678
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 2: career for him.

1679
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on Gallinari a few.

1680
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,719
Speaker 5: He threw some crazy passes that I saw going around

1681
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 5: behind the backers that had incredible velocity on him. Once

1682
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 5: his retirement was announced, people are pulling out the best clips.

1683
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 3: That was cool.

1684
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so sorry the numbers on the board, guys, they

1685
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,839
Speaker 1: had a clip going around like Gallinari was sneaky athletic

1686
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:21,679
Speaker 1: and the clips, You're like, he sort of what look

1687
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 1: you put the compilation.

1688
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 5: Together, sneaky affle.

1689
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: It was more athletic than you might think. Okay.

1690
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 5: I'll also remember he's the NBA player who most looks

1691
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 5: like Robert de Niro. I think that's important. And when

1692
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 5: he was here in Atlanta, was a surprisingly important player

1693
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 5: in their run of the conference finals in twenty twenty

1694
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 5: one as an a rare guy on the roster who

1695
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 5: could go get his own shot, even if it was

1696
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 5: taken a long time to get into his post up fadeaways.

1697
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:50,519
Speaker 5: But the main thing I'm always going to remember about

1698
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 5: Danilo Gallinari is that he is the player that taught

1699
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 5: me the NBA coaches live because Mike D'Antoni went from

1700
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:03,360
Speaker 5: coaching Deve Nash during his two MVP seasons when he

1701
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 5: was fifty forty ninety every season and Mike D'Antoni, after

1702
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 5: coaching Danilo Gallinari, said he's the best shooter I've ever seen.

1703
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 5: And that's why I'm like, oh, so we just tell lies.

1704
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,560
Speaker 5: And then it turns out Mike D'Antoni and Danilo Gallinari's

1705
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 5: dad were roommates when they played together back in Italy.

1706
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 5: So I think that was an important lesson to learn.

1707
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point. The other thing everybody brings

1708
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: up when you talk Gallinari is that he was a

1709
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: part of the Mellow trade, right getting Mellow from Denver

1710
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: to New York. He goes back to Denver. That's where

1711
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,639
Speaker 1: Gallinari played the most in his career. He played for Denver,

1712
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: I think five and a half seasons, if I remember correctly,

1713
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: I do you know, we obviously had the show because

1714
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 1: we're old and we've been doing this forever. I remember

1715
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: when he destroyed his left knee that first s a

1716
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: c el tear versus the Mavericks. It was at the

1717
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: end of the season because that was a good Nuggets

1718
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: team that was like a fifty five plus win Nuggers yea,

1719
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 1: And he blew by Dirk and he just like took

1720
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: two dribbles and then just like, oh is you know,

1721
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: the knee just went and I was like, oh, that

1722
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: does not look good. He looked in like so much pain,

1723
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 1: like he remember of like screaming and yeah, there was

1724
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,360
Speaker 1: like five or six games left in the regular season.

1725
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: So then they go into the playoffs and they would

1726
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: lose to Steph Curry and the Warriors. Like that's young

1727
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: baby Steph really in a first round matchup. And Gallinari.

1728
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 1: I bring that up because he was an important piece,

1729
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,800
Speaker 1: like he fifteen sixteen points per game, obviously played a

1730
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 1: lot of minutes. I think Kyle Laston was sort of

1731
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: injured that year too. He came back at the end

1732
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,560
Speaker 1: of the year. But yeah, they got a bounced in

1733
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: the first round. I bring that up to say, you know,

1734
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: who knows, would they've won the title? Probably not, but

1735
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 1: would they've gone a little deeper with a healthy Gallinari

1736
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: in a healthy squad maybe.

1737
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the conversation. When they got into the playoffs.

1738
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 2: They got a bunch of really good players, like you're

1739
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 2: gallin Ari or loss, and they don't have a superstar,

1740
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 2: but they're doing it by committee. Here's Wilson Chandler. He's good,

1741
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 2: he can do right right.

1742
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that team a little trivia with Gallinari

1743
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 1: before we go to the other things. He hit one

1744
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,719
Speaker 1: four and fifty six three pointers. That is the sixth

1745
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: most by an NBA player in NBA history. Who's six

1746
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 1: ten or taller? Can you guys tell me the five

1747
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: guys six ten or taller to hit more threes than

1748
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 1: Gullinari at that height? Dirk correct, he's second. I think

1749
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: I have these in order, but he's on the list,

1750
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: Dirk A thousand. Porzingis probably too too few. Ryan Anderson

1751
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: no towns. I guess no, that's actually.

1752
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 3: Kind of surprised.

1753
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm trusting this stat here. So yeah, I mean it's

1754
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: a lot. That's four plus three pointers a lot. It's

1755
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot six ten. Yeah, you think of this guy

1756
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: that is tall, Yes, he is tall. You can get

1757
01:21:39,760 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: these other three guys. None of them play in the

1758
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: league anymore. But oh that's not true. One guy, he's

1759
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 1: on a team.

1760
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 2: He still plays.

1761
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 5: He's one, so he doesn't play very much.

1762
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: No, not very much, but he's he's out there. We

1763
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 1: mentioned him. I mentioned man. He is really bad defensively,

1764
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: but he can still throw a great pass. Joe Ingles

1765
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: no short, too short. Lebron is too short. It's still

1766
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: a great pass. Al Horford, No, it's not all he

1767
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: must be.

1768
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1769
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm okay, Yeah, this guy is six ten. See, I

1770
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: don't think of this guy is six ten, not Brook Lopez. No,

1771
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: I definitely think of him while to get to yeah,

1772
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:25,720
Speaker 1: shooting three. This guy's known as rebounding championship outlet passes.

1773
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 5: Ken Kevin Love six ten, Okay, I wouldn't think of

1774
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:29,759
Speaker 5: him a sixteen.

1775
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: I know at least he is on Batball Reference. And

1776
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: then two more guys come on, Uh.

1777
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 5: Okay, the other guy.

1778
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,560
Speaker 1: I never thought of six ten because I thought he

1779
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: was like six seven, because he was a pure three

1780
01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: point shooter international guy. Heo no better, he Pagia. Yeah,

1781
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 1: it's a lot of three, the big boy and then

1782
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: final one. Uh teams he played for, Oh you'll get

1783
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 1: it right away, Seattle in Orlando. Nice there you good, Durant, Dirk,

1784
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Richard Lewis, Pasia, Kevin Love and then Golin all right

1785
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:01,760
Speaker 1: right there.

1786
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't think of we shred Lewis being six

1787
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:04,800
Speaker 2: ten either.

1788
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 1: See. I think of him being taller than Pasia and

1789
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Love. Oddly, I don't know if that makes any sense.

1790
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 5: He was a lot skinnier. Yeah, yeah, he read as taller.

1791
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Kevin Love. You think this is smaller because

1792
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: he was like squat, like a big boy when he

1793
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 1: when he first got in the league. Blows my mind

1794
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: that he was six ten. Yeah, yeah, because he moved

1795
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: really good. He was pretty quick, little bit a little

1796
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: bite up the night. Unsullied by sponsorship. I can't even

1797
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: talk anymore. Unsullied by sponsorships in November. True, you want

1798
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: to sponsor what boy?

1799
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 3: Get at me?

1800
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: Nominees a lot of big games, Jaylen brown SGA, Anthony Edwards,

1801
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: those are three all stars. But nah, let's give it

1802
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: to UH Knicks forward McHale Bridges because he had a

1803
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: bunch of threes and he sort of got the Knicks

1804
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: back in the game. That Yeah, this guy was on fire,

1805
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: heat checks galore. But thirty five points for Bridges in

1806
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 1: the loss, eight three pointers made on twelve attempts at

1807
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: six boards. He had three assists, two steals, zero turnovers

1808
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: too in thirty four minutes for Bridges.

1809
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 5: As he screams, there, yeah, he was feeling it all night.

1810
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:14,680
Speaker 5: As soon as he touched the ball, it was going up.

1811
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Nice pick him Tonight's tests. I was gonna say, I

01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 2: Now I can't. Nah, he's probably not here.

01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 2: because the Hawks exactly they do their little stuffy thing.

1828
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 2: Here are the kids. They liked it.

1829
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 1: I adults like it too. Weird part of it.

1830
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:13,560
Speaker 2: I had to go with that game, Atlanta hosting the Clippers,

1831
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,680
Speaker 2: right when they let go of Churs Paul. I had to.

1832
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 2: I kept checking that fan duel line. Is it moving

1833
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 2: because of this Clippers friction it has? It's dropped to

1834
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 2: two and a half, even though we got it at

1835
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 2: three and a half.

1836
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 1: You gotta get that point to play with.

1837
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm Ana being I'm being a wild man and

1838
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Clippers. It feels like the Clippers are

1839
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 2: playing for their season almost how dire things are. They

1840
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 2: just got spanked by the Miami Heat. But James Harden

1841
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 2: only played twenty minutes in that game, so he's going

1842
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 2: to be super fresh for this one. Hopefully he didn't

1843
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 2: go out and party.

1844
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, hopefully he did go out and party. I

1845
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: thought we determined when he goes to the strip clubs,

1846
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 1: that's just like the power, that's his finach. I got

1847
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: worried because I was like, oh, they've been here. They

1848
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: probably went to Medix City last night.

1849
01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 2: They were here.

1850
01:25:58,080 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 1: Well, he's going to cook tonight.

1851
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 5: Wow, I mean on Miami Atlanta two consecutive games. That's

1852
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 5: a hardens master.

1853
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a career in college money. Did James

1854
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: Harden just drop in the last you know, three nights.

1855
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's having like his best week ever. He's like

1856
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 5: a party all week. Get Chris Paul out of here.

1857
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 2: Chris Paul was.

1858
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 1: Probably at the strip club with him.

1859
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 2: In the morning.

1860
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 5: He said don't come. Yeah, that was the attention. Chris

1861
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 5: Paul said, I don't think you should go tonight. He said,

1862
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 5: I'm going tonight check the stats.

1863
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: Wow, get a.

1864
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 2: Body that feels right. That's where the friction is that caused.

1865
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Him to exity friction.

1866
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm the only one taking the clippers and getting

1867
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 2: those three little points.

1868
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Cool.

1869
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not crazy. It's a crazy move. Okay, it

1870
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 2: is a crazy move. They could literally lose by twenty.

1871
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 2: I guess this Atlanta Hawk seam that's balling. But you

1872
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 2: guys both have the Atlanta Hawks one by four or more.

1873
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 2: And that's why the song ended. Now it's probab a

1874
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 2: perfect time. Okay, go sweat because we talked a long

1875
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:06,440
Speaker 2: about James Harden being in an adult entertainment establishment.

1876
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, that's one of the games on tonight. Spurs

1877
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 1: Magic is another pretty good one. I guess NBA TV

1878
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 1: has Heat Mavericks tonight. A lot of early games tonight. Yeah,

1879
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: a lot of starts at seven Eastern and the latest

1880
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: one eight to thirty of that NBA TV game. So

1881
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 1: that's interesting.

1882
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 2: All right.

1883
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:25,800
Speaker 1: We'll call it there longer show for us, but that's

1884
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 1: because we had Pierre on from Numbers on the board

1885
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 1: from teed Up, a great guest again. Hit the like

1886
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: butt Subscribe do it for Pierre. Appreciate him jumping on.

1889
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 5: You heard it here first, have a great time turn up.

1890
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 3: Love you guys awesome.

1891
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. And remember, I'm trying to figure

1892
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 2: out why there's so many early games in the NBA

1893
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 2: because quite often they take into account all the other

1894
01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 2: sports going on. Nope, there's no games on.

1895
01:27:58,240 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: ESPN tonight too.

1896
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 5: Just o is it somehow Cup related?

1897
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 1: There is a weird schedule here the next little bit

1898
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: because of how they had to wait to see who

1899
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: makes his plant. Yeah, yeah, there is. It's almost like

1900
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 1: teams like get an odd little break here. People were

1901
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,760
Speaker 1: saying Hollinger was writing about this. In fact, people are

1902
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: like saying, like there's too many games early on in

1903
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 1: the season. Maybe that's part of the injuries because of

1904
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: all the Cup scheduling. But then this is like the

1905
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 1: first like everybody can take a breath here in like

1906
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: the coming weeks here before the Christmas break. That's pretty weird.

1907
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 5: Like the farthest west games are Houston and Dallas, which

1908
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 5: I assume are central.

1909
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: To very strange, very strange anyway, we'll be here to

1910
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: talk about the schedule.

1911
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 3: Guys over here.

1912
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 2: Yes, it's not the Washington Capital San Jose Sharks game.

1913
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 2: It's a late one, but it's not that one. It's

1914
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:51,520
Speaker 2: not Atalanta. That's that soccer team with the or that's Atalanta,

1915
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 2: that weird soccer team. You know, that weird soccer team. Yah, yeah,

1916
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 2: why you know, I'm just looking at the late they're

1917
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,040
Speaker 2: wealthy and sarah ah right now. No, they're not that good.

1918
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 1: The MLS Cup Finals coming up. It's right around the corner.

1919
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is for sure. I think

1920
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: it's Vancouver. I think it's white Caps Miami.

1921
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 5: You can't say a team name, isn't it. Yes, yeah,
