That one's up of course. 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: Then on Monday, the Athletics Fred Katz he swung by 23 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: the studio to talk a little Kobe talk about his 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: wizards that he's following as the athletic beat reporter for 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: The Whiz. He was great, really highly recommend you go 26 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: check out that podcast. I mean, we found out his 27 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: name isn't even Fred, you know, his name is Matthew. 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: Huge scoop, huge, huge scoop for us, but Sundy Doug 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: some much needed levity there with Fred. It was honestly 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. He's such a great guest and 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: had some great stories to share from the Wizard's locker 32 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: room and across the NBA. Later today here on Tuesday afternoon, 33 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: we're finally gonna record and release our fourteen All Star 34 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Reserve selections. We generally do this every year like everybody else, 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: were the last ones to do it this year, it 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: turns out, but we know the starters now those are 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: locked in. That's fine. We won't be changing those, but 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: we'll make our seven picks like we were the coaches 39 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: make our seven picks in the East, make our seven 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: picks in the West and see where we disagree and 41 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: maybe debate it. So that should be fun. That's later 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: today as a special sort of bonus podcast us picking 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: our all star reserves. On this show, we will get 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: to a few of last night's games. But of course, 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're still we're still wrapping our head around 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: the Kobe Bryant news and the NBA world morning him 47 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: and his daughter and everyone lost in that helicopter crash. 48 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: The NBA announced that the Clippers Lakers game scheduled for 49 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: tonight Tuesday, January twenty eighth, that has been postponed. So 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: the decision was made out of the respect for the 51 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Lakers organization, which is of course deeply grieving the tragic 52 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: loss of Kobe and his daughter and those seven other people. 53 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: Like I said, that game will be rescheduled at a 54 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: later date. No shock here, I imagine for many of 55 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: you guys for them to say, nope, too soon, We're 56 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: not ready for this, and so we'll just we will 57 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: get to this game at a later date, even if 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: if we. 59 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: Do, even if we have to. 60 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: I guess, yes, I guess you know, because everything happened 61 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 3: so suddenly on Sunday, the NBA desawded just to through 62 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: those games and give themselves a little bit of time 63 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: to think about it. But the fact that the Lakers 64 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: are back on tonight, I think against the Clips as well, 65 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: gave them at least an opportunity to say, well, let's 66 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: postpone that one. Well they think about their next move 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: because there's no real rule book I guess for the 68 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 3: league right now to follow and to look at, so 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: they have to sort of try to just make these 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: right decisions as they're going forward, and there'll probably be 71 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: another adjustment at some point in the schedule, depending on 72 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: when Kobe's memorial service or funeral is and what the 73 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 3: league decides to do there. But yes, it's a very 74 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 3: difficult process. You don't know how to handle what has 75 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: happened and has such an impact on everyone in the 76 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: NBA and in the basketball world. That's the thing. It's 77 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: not just a sort of team specific event, it's league wide, 78 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: and everyone feels some sort of attachment. So I think 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: the NBA has made the right decision here. 80 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: And like Dave McManamon was tweeting yesterday that Kobe was 81 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: a basketball player for the Lakers, but that also means 82 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: he's an employee there for twenty years, building bonds with 83 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: and security guards and people who are working the stands. 84 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: He just you know, he knew these people from being 85 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: around them at work for twenty years, which is why 86 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: the NBA provided grief counselors for the Lakers, which is 87 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: why we didn't hear anything period from the Lakers for 88 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: thirty six hours. They're figuring out even how to grieve 89 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: in a tragedy like this one, So I mean completely 90 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: understandable that they would postpone the game forty eight hours later. 91 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lakers brought in grief counselors into the office 92 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: to help some of those employees that you're talking about 93 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: to cope with the loss. Sean saying, you know, these 94 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 1: guys they're probably not they're not ready to play basketball 95 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: right now, you know, And again it's not just the Lakers. 96 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: I'm sure there was a lot. We've seen the emotion, 97 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, on some of these guys' faces in games 98 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: that have been playing on Sunday and then last night. 99 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: It's it's tough. They're the Lakers next scheduled game is 100 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: they got quite a weird gap here, but it's not 101 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: till Friday night at home against Portland, So there is 102 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: some time there, just the way the schedule breaks out. 103 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, they'll they'll figure this out. It's also it 104 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: is the Lakers and Clippers, you know, obviously sharing the 105 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: same arena in theory. I guess that's good to be 106 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: an easier game to reschedule if it needs to be 107 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: played at all down the line, so I'm sure they 108 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: came into play as well. We also heard from Lebron. 109 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: He took to Instagram on Monday in his attempt to 110 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: sort of communicate his grief after Kobe passed. Like most 111 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: in the community in the wake of this tragedy, he 112 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: I think maybe struggled to put his feelings into words. 113 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: Can't knock him there, but he did say, I promise. 114 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm quoting him here. I promise you all continue your legacy. Man. 115 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: You mean so much to all of all of us here, 116 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: especially Laker Nation, and it's my responsibility to put this 117 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: shit on my back and keep it going. Please give 118 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: me the strength from the heavens above and watch over me. 119 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: I got us here. I think a lot of us 120 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: were waiting, you know, either be it from the Lakers organization, 121 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: who did release a little quick statement or a guy 122 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: like Lebron. You know, we we always turned to Lebron 123 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: basically comment on everything and something like this where he's 124 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: got a relationship with Kobe. This is what he chose 125 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: to do and had you know, really obviously cool photos 126 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: of the two of them together, a little slides show there, and. 127 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: He said he spoke to Lebron to Kobe, excuse me, 128 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: on the Sunday after they left Philadelphia. I guess after 129 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: Lebron broke his record, they you know, imagine what the 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 3: scoring less. Imagine that conversation was all congratulate latry from 131 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: Kobe and wishing more the best, and you know they 132 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 3: became you know, a significant opponents, but of course friends 133 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: and colleagues as well there. So it's yeah, you know, 134 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 3: we all we all sort of think that someone like 135 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 3: Lebron will have these words that make things okay, But 136 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 3: of course everyone grieves in their own separate way, in 137 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: their own their own way, and it's going to be 138 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 3: tough for everyone associated with the Lakers right now. 139 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the relationship that Kobe had with Lebron, 140 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: even though you know, we just saw it from time 141 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: to time, is just an example of Kobe being such 142 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 4: a positive role model, shepherding and then the next group 143 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 4: of guys, then the next group of players, and as 144 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 4: a as a as a player, as a competitor. I 145 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: didn't see this version of Kobe coming from, you know, 146 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 4: twenty sixteen to twenty twenty as a guy who was 147 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 4: a really positive guy in terms of helping everybody around him. 148 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 4: You know, It's just it didn't seem to fit his 149 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: his on court persona right. And this was even though 150 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: Lebron and Kobe were you never met in the finals. 151 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 4: Obviously there was that that special special bond that Kobe 152 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: had with so many guys, and I think that's obviously 153 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: how very telling in the games on Sunday and Monday 154 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: and the tears being shed, which I think if there's 155 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: any tiny ten teeny tiny positive, it's men willing to 156 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: show their feelings out in person and crying. And that's 157 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 4: totally totally acceptable and something that I'm sure a lot 158 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: of men don't find acceptable. But it's you know, I 159 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 4: kind of find it a tiny bit refreshing to see 160 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 4: all that happening in the last last two days. 161 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, but to speak to that, I guess I know 162 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: what you're saying. I think, like, I'm totally on board 163 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: with the way he played. You would think when Kobe 164 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: was all done, he might be because there's a lot 165 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: of them, the Hall of Famers, the legends that sort 166 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: of do like, yeah, back in my day, we would 167 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: have done it like this. Well, I don't know if 168 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: these guys could hang or oh whatever. You know, you're right, 169 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: he did the opposite. 170 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, or he did it purposely, like he did it 171 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: willfully to be involved with all these guys. Yeah, he's 172 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: a teacher. There's lots of stories about him being the 173 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: guy who is their mentor in these last few years. 174 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: And like, maybe I'm just a prisoner of the moment here, 175 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: but I can't think of another guy who's really done 176 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 4: that the same way, or you know, to anywhere close 177 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: to that level. But I think it just shows that 178 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 4: he was, like we talked about Sunday on our podcast, 179 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 4: that he was willing to transition to this and really 180 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 4: change his mo O into Hey, this is what the 181 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 4: game needs from me now, this is what these players 182 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: need from me now, and I will be that guy. 183 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 184 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: We talk a lot about how other players experiences with 185 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 2: Kobe on the Olympic teams really meant a lot to 186 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: those guys. But I think you can tell that those 187 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 2: Olympic experiences meant a lot to Kobe. It kind of 188 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: showed him a new pathway that I can be a mentor. 189 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 2: These guys respect and are happy to be learning from me. 190 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: And I think that going through those couple experiences where 191 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: these next generation of Hall of Famers are saying, Wow, 192 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: we're learning from Kobe Bryant, that must have been special 193 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: for him as well. To see the mark that he 194 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: put on the game in the decade that followed after that. 195 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: Same with twenty twelve, he has touched Lebron's generation. He's 196 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: touched the kind of in between generation like Kyrie Irving 197 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: from the twenty twelve years, and then you see the 198 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: bond with guys like Trey Young, Lukadancic who are still 199 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 2: even you know, I mean is five years of generation. 200 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, but they're all just different segments of 201 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: guys and they all look up to Kobe, and I 202 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: don't know. Kobe always was talking about the Alchemist, and 203 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: he was writing a book with Paulo Kalo, the author 204 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: of the Alchemist, and that's all about learning what you're 205 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: good at and then giving it away, and that's what 206 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: Kobe was doing. 207 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Re NBA game on Monday night. You know, they 208 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: started with the twenty four second violation by one team 209 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: and an eight second back court violation by the other. 210 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: Twenty four and eight, of course being Kobe's numbers. Some 211 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: games they were flipped, you know, the backcourt violation before 212 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: the twenty four second violation, But the same idea. The Wolves, 213 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: they sort of tinkered with the old eight second tribute. 214 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: I thought this was pretty special. Rather than simply just 215 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: holding the ball or dribbling out the ball behind half 216 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: court for the eight seconds, they actually placed the ball 217 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: on the free throw line until that time expired, and 218 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: that was a spot where Kobe had gone to the 219 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: line to pass his idol, you know, Michael Jordan on 220 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: the all time scoring list. I tweeted this last night. 221 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: Every game where we're seeing this, the tributes, with the violations, 222 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: it gets me every time. I mean, I don't know, 223 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: it's so I liked almost see if for the rest 224 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: of the season. I don't know. It's it's something, there 225 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: is something, it's special, and it hits you every time. 226 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: That's where I get the most like choked up in 227 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: a weird way when this happens in the game. But 228 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: and then the crowd of course cheering them on the 229 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: Kobe chances and stuff like that. So we saw that again. 230 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: We saw that on Sunday. Of course, it went into 231 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Monday's games. The Pistons, they honored Kobe pregame, everybody rocking 232 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the number eight or the number twenty four jersey. That 233 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: looked very cool. And that's something we think we we 234 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: assume we're going to see in the All Star Game. 235 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: Something I'll be shocked, honestly if we don't. There's some 236 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: variation of that. The heat they played Dear Basketball, you 237 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: know Kobe's Oscar winning film or the piece that he 238 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: penned and that they turned into the film. They played 239 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: that on the jumble Tron during halftime. Cool little little 240 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: tribute there from Miami. And I wanted to ask you 241 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: guys this, and I don't even know if now is 242 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: the right time to talk about it, but I'm sure 243 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: you guys have seen the petition going around. I think 244 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: it's then signed, like nearly two million people have signed 245 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: this thing now for the NBA to change the logo, 246 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: change it from Jerry West his silhouette to something Kobe related. Again, 247 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is now the time to 248 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: even wen I'm not saying like, oh, let's debate it. 249 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: Oh no, yes, Like what's your thoughts on this this 250 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: sort of move I guess to change the logan of 251 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: something callby. 252 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 3: I don't think they should change the logo. I think 253 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 3: it's iconic the way it is. And I just think 254 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: I think Kobe has had an enormous impact on this game, 255 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 3: but I think there are other players who have had 256 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: an even bigger impact, Michael Jordan namely, for one. So 257 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 3: I think, you know, obviously, under the circumstances of what happened, 258 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 3: I wouldn't go out and change it right now and 259 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: be caught up in the moment. But if this is 260 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: a discussion maybe the NBA wants to have in a 261 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 3: couple of years time, maybe when things are settled down, 262 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: they can talk about it. But I just I think 263 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: there's other ways to honor Kobe and his legacy, and 264 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 3: I think the NBA could do that, whether or not 265 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: they name an award after him. The Lakers do something 266 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: similar to what the Mavericks have done on their court. 267 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 3: Even you know, with a silhouette perhaps something like that. 268 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: Other ways, Yes, yes, I don't. 269 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 3: I don't think so, because you know, there is also 270 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: the other incident that we haven't really addressed. He wasbi 271 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 3: back in two thousand and th eighty, two thousand and 272 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: four in Colorado, the rape stuff, and I think that 273 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: considering that happened and was acknowledged that it happened, I 274 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 3: think that kind of unfortunately, I think that disqualifies Kobe 275 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: from an honor like this to have his image as 276 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: the logo of the league. So I think when you're 277 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: talking about Kobe, you have to address his entire the 278 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 3: totality of his life and his career, and I think 279 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: that also needs to be mentioned. So for me, I 280 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: don't think they should change it, but I think there 281 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: are certainly the other ways you can honor Kobe's life 282 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 3: and legacy. 283 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm one hundred percent worthy Lee. He was credibly. 284 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: Accused of sexual assault, and you know, he didn't get 285 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: convicted in a trial, but he did settle in a 286 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: civil suit. And it's worth honoring Kobe now in another way. 287 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 2: And it's great to talk about everything he did on 288 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: the court and what he meant to so many people. 289 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 2: I'm actually surprised how hard I've been taking it. I 290 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: never thought that Kobe meant that much met but he's 291 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 2: a huge part of my life. But it's got to 292 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 2: be impossible for survivors of sexual assault now to see 293 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 2: all of these all this praise for Kobe Bryant. But 294 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: it's understandable because he passed away in the tragic way 295 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: that we would be praising him right now. That's different 296 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: thirty years from now. For more survivors of sexual assault 297 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: to see every time they see an NBA logo it's 298 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant. I think that'd be incredibly hard. So unfortunately 299 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: he is disqualified from the logo change. 300 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: I would say, let's get to last night's games, the 301 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: actual games that were played, but first were from our sponsors. 302 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 4: We talk about physical fitness a lot, but there's another 303 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: side to the game that's just as important. I'm talking 304 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 4: about mental fitness.

I saw obviously Twitter 353 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: was felt like Twitter was watching that one a lot 354 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: more than maybe some of the other games. 355 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 2: I was it was awesome. That was really fun to watch. 356 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: It's I was laughing and crying through it. Just like 357 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: seeing actually Kobe get hot during the first quarter and 358 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: then really put the game away in the fourth quarter, 359 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: seeing all the celebrities who came out to watch him. 360 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: It was fun watching it the first time in twenty sixteen. 361 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 2: A different experience in twenty twenty, but it was cool. 362 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: Did we lead our show? Does anyone to remember when 363 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: we were the starters the next day with Kobe's final game? 364 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: Where did we talk warriors set in the mark or 365 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: did we mash the two together somehow and play it? 366 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: What you Got? 367 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: Like, I feel like we definitely did a what you Got? 368 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: What will you be watching? 369 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: Yeah to it? Yeah? What did we do? That's a 370 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: good question. Yeah's my gut says. We did start with 371 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: the sort of iconic their last game, the sixty point performance. 372 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, again, real games. On last night, King's won 373 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: thirty three Wolves one twenty nine overtime victory for Sacramento. 374 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: All Right, you see that, say, okay, classic overtime game, 375 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: high scoring. Well, this one was insane. If you watch 376 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: this you maybe witnessed. You witnessed the comeback of the year. 377 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: You maybe witnessed one of the greatest comebacks of all time. 378 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: No hyperbole there. Buddy Hill scored a career high forty 379 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: two points to help the King's rally from a twenty 380 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: seven point deficit for that victory of the Wolves. Now 381 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: check this. The Kings trailed by seventeen points with two 382 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: minutes and forty nine seconds to go in the fourth quarter. 383 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 1: They're down seventeen points less than three minutes to go 384 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: before you know, pulling off this insane rally. Darren Fox 385 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: scored twenty two for the Kings, including putting back the 386 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: rebound off his intentionally missed free throw as part of 387 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: that thirty three to eleven run in the final you know, 388 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: five minutes in change of this game. I hope you'll 389 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: watch it. I hope you saw the highlights. At least. 390 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: This was crazy. What was super crazy is that the 391 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: Wolves were like scoring still at times during the final 392 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: five or six minutes. It wasn't like, you know, it 393 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: wasn't like a twenty four to zero run. They were 394 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: scoring at times, but Buddy Heal just could not miss threes. 395 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 3: This is the worst loss the Wolves have had, and 396 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 3: they've had some bad ones this season. I mean, this 397 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: was unlosable, it really was. And then and for Dearon 398 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 3: Fox to execute that free throw miss so perfectly and 399 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 3: get a layup out of it was just incredible. But 400 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 3: it sort of sums up the Wolves, is they just 401 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: they just it's just a terrible situation they have right now. 402 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: And even over time they still had chance. 403 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: I know they saw there five more miniSTR go win 404 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: the game. 405 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, just gave away. You're right, but Buddy Buddy got hot. 406 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 3: And yeah the Wolves, I mean Andrew Wiggins had another 407 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 3: incredible game himself individually, but of course it didn't count 408 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 3: for anything. So yeah, it's it's a pretty grim situation. 409 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bleak in Minnesota. Yeah, because I think I 410 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: said this maybe last week at some point, the King 411 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: or the Wolves, excuse me, haven't won a game when 412 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns has been playing before Thanksgiving for Thanksgiving, man, 413 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: that's actually crazy. 414 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 4: In January, but everything ties back to Kobe Bryant. And 415 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 4: there's a great article on the Athletic by John Krasinski 416 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 4: about Buddy Healed balling out and saying to his teammate 417 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 4: before the game, I'm doing this for Kobe and naming 418 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 4: it be Alitza said, yeah, he said that to me pregame, 419 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 4: and he played like Kobe's coming off the bench right now, 420 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 4: Buddy heard the last two games he's been coming off 421 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 4: the bench because Luke Walton is needed to shake things up. 422 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 4: And he was perfect in the in the fourth quarter. 423 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 4: It was him embodying Kobe and he that's the way 424 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 4: he felt. He grew up, as the article says, in Bahamas, 425 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 4: in front of his TV watching the two thousand and 426 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: one Finals without a shirt on yelling defense, which isn't 427 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 4: Buddy who heals s Forte. But on this night, all 428 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 4: he needed was offense. He was six for six in 429 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 4: the fourth banging home five threes. And you know this 430 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 4: is a for a coach in the future when people say, ha, 431 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 4: take out your starters, they're gonna get hurt. Well, they 432 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 4: took out their starters with one forty left down thirteen 433 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: and then it imploded big time. And the darn Fox 434 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 4: free throw, if you watch anything, is pretty interesting to 435 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 4: watch because it was very cool. The ref gives him 436 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 4: the ball, steps away, puts his arm up and Darren 437 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 4: Fox tried to sort of quick shoot it and it 438 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 4: worked to perfection. But the fact that you don't box 439 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 4: out the free throw shooter is ridiculous. 440 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: You just gotta you don't think that's probably coming that technique, 441 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: the uh rickisheing it off? 442 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 4: But that's your one job. Seven seconds left in a game, man, 443 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 4: get the rebound it and even when he gets the ball, 444 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 4: stop him. 445 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they're literally they're shocked that it happens in 446 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: a split second time. 447 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 4: It's quick. It is quick, but like, that's the guy 448 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 4: who has the ball, so stop stop boxing at Karl 449 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 4: Anthony Towns, look at the guy who has the balls 450 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 4: up and they tried to challenge right, Sounders tried to 451 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 4: challenge the fact that he stepped over the free throw 452 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 4: line and was a free throw violation, which I guess 453 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 4: technically it was. I mean, but you can't challenge that. 454 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 4: And it happened so fast it would be tough for 455 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 4: the rest to call and just box out the guy. 456 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Would you crafty as a Fox? 457 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was up there with Yawming for best intentional 458 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: mis free throw of all time. Somewhat different players watching 459 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: d'aron Fox do it, and like as soon as the 460 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 2: ball misses off the rim. 461 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: It feels like he's shooting the layup. 462 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 3: Al rdy. 463 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: That was incredible with YAO a little bit slower, yeah 464 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: than Daron Fox, but he makes a play on his 465 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: where his goes off the front of the rim, catches 466 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: it and then he has to kick it out for 467 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 2: a three point shot. The guy misses, but still that's 468 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: an incredible play too. I don't know, it's two different 469 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 2: strategies here, the layup if you need to sometimes you 470 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 2: got to get a three though. 471 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty good. I've every time we ever see an 472 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: intentionally misfree throw like a successful one for sure, my 473 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: mind does go to Brent Barry talking to us about 474 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: how him and Genobli in practice would like at times 475 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: legit practice missing free throws, like where to put the ball, 476 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: try and get the bounce to give yourself a chance, 477 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: like put it on the left side, put on the 478 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: right side, have it bounced high up, you know, like 479 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: do what Fox did. Like that's so cool to me, 480 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: Like the concept of like they're such good shooters that 481 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: they're practicing purposely missing where on the rim or backboard, 482 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: and it's smart. You should for instances like this, I 483 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: mean I don't know if I don't know how often, 484 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if there's quotes after the game that 485 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: I may have missed, Like is Fox practicing this at 486 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: the end of practice every day? 487 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 2: I doubt it, But I'd love to see a light 488 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: color like a mix of guys just practicing. 489 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: How often does it work so perfectly? He just perfectly? Yeah, 490 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: ricochetes off the front and you said, yeah, the buddy 491 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: task like Kobe being in his sort of hero I 492 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: was watching this game and I was thinking of that 493 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: game where Kobe caught fire against the Raptors where he 494 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: couldn't miss those threes to pull out one of the victory, 495 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, one of the what one of like four 496 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: times Kobe embarrassed the Raptors, but you know the game 497 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking, Yeah, there was that one where he just 498 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: could not miss threes and like single handle he sort 499 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: of got them the victory. That was pretty similar to me. 500 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: I know they was it had to get done in overtime. 501 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 3: Like lost or second last season. I think, wasn't it 502 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 3: is that right? 503 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: Not late? 504 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 3: He had the white the big white sleeve on his 505 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 3: arm that one. 506 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: Who Yeah, there's there are two or I can't remember 507 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: which one I'm thinking of particularly, but yeah, that's what 508 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: was very similar, crazy crazy game to go check the 509 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: highlights on this one. Just devastating loss for the wol No, no, 510 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: but like Kings needed this and it's it is pretty 511 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,959 Speaker 1: wild to see down seventeen with under three to go. 512 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. Just the 513 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: math doesn't add up in your head. It's like, how 514 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: is there even the amount of possessions to make it work. 515 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 2: Look, I wasn't watching King's Timberwolves live last night, so 516 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 2: of course I saw the comeback happen. I saw the 517 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: free throw, and I'm like, how is this going down? 518 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: So then you watch the condensed game and they're like, 519 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 2: seventeen with three minutes left, Like just take the air 520 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: out of the ball or something. Just stand there, take 521 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 2: the twenty four second violation, take another one. 522 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: Of course sometime. According to ESPN stats and then for 523 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: since ninety six ninety seven, which was the first year 524 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: of play by play data, NBA teams entered the day 525 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: zero and eight thousand, three hundred and seventy eight when 526 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: trailing by seventeen or more in the final three minutes 527 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: of a fourth quarter. Overtime, So it's the first time 528 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: that's ever happened according to their their data. 529 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 3: Well that's something, that's something I guess that's some sort 530 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,719 Speaker 3: of record. Then we'll have yes, But I honestly this 531 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 3: season has been a disaster for them. 532 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, and you were, you were, you 533 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: got there early, Lee saying when's Carl gonna be going? Yeah, 534 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: help me and get me out of. 535 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: Here, because honestly, outside of Town's, what solid asset do 536 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 3: they have. I mean, Wiggans is not gonna get you 537 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: much back. They just don't have any real assets. That's 538 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 3: the real problem. And Ryan Saunders, I mean he's he's 539 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 3: tried hard, but I don't think he's he's an NBA 540 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 3: level coach. I think he's more better at a development 541 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 3: type role. But it's just it's just a disaster right 542 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 3: now in Minnesota. They I don't know how they sort 543 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 3: of turned this around quickly. 544 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be a long rest of the season 545 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: for them unless unless you know, Covington has moved and maybe. 546 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: Just but even still one of those you're returning. You you 547 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 3: know that's the problem. 548 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 4: But we also let Karl Anthony Towns get off. Scott 549 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 4: Free I mean they have to, Like we just say, oh, 550 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 4: he's a great player, he's gonna want out soon, but 551 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 4: he has to win a game. 552 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, look, yeah he's not he's not faultless by 553 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 3: any means. But he's certainly the one player that at 554 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 3: least you know you've got there, that you feel you 555 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 3: know there's this This is a franchise building block block 556 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 3: at least. 557 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. But Andrew Wiggins even came out playing 558 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 4: like Kobe in this one. He was a great in 559 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 4: the first half. And you know, again, everything is about 560 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 4: Kobe right now. And for Buddy Heel the guy who 561 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 4: wears twenty four, because Kobe Bryant wears twenty four to 562 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 4: win this game, it's pretty neat. It is pretty neat. 563 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: The other begin I wanted to touch on him. Last night, 564 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: Rockets won twenty six Jazz one seventeen Eric Gordon one 565 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: of tasks his favorite players time, Eric Gordon. He's back, babe. 566 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: It scored a career high fifty points to lead the 567 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: very short handed Rockets. I should have added there without 568 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: James Harden with out Westbrook to this victory, Rockets took 569 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: a lot of free throws despite no hard in playing Jazz. 570 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: That was the topic of discussion after. Jazz not super 571 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: happy with that, but it was wild because the Rockets 572 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: were like playing against one of the best defensive teams 573 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: in the league, Eric Gordon going off for the fifty. 574 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: But they're playing like guys that are my heid out 575 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: there as their starting lineup, or at least Tray's height. 576 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: Daniel Hills Junior, like six' six was one of their 577 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: front court players and THE Pj tuckers their center at 578 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: six to. Five and this is against again a fairly 579 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: large Go bear And jazz, lineup and you, know they 580 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: got to the. LINE i guess they used that speed 581 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: to sort of get, there and The jazz didn't like the. 582 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: Whistle but this was this was cool to See Eric, 583 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: gordon who is coming off the knee surgery that he 584 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: had back In. November he even said he feels like 585 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: he's getting back to himself and going for the career high. 586 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: Fifty The jazz don't want to see The rockets in the. 587 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: Playoffs The jazz just have The rockets just have The jazz's. 588 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 2: Number They in the twenty seventeen eighteen, Season houston four 589 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 2: oh won the series and then eliminated The jazz in the. 590 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 2: Playoffs it was two two the next, year and then 591 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: The jazz were eliminated by The rockets in the playoffs. 592 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 2: Again they're now own one so. Far the space is 593 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 2: just a. Problem Go beart is an incredible. Defender he's 594 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: right in the mix for A Defensive player of The 595 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: year the, year but his major weakness is going to 596 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 2: be when you can spread them out and make him 597 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: guard people out on the. Perimeter that's a. Problem so you, 598 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 2: Know i'm sure when it comes down to the end 599 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: of the season we'll see some shenanigans as The jazz 600 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: do their best to try and get out Of houston's 601 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: way in the playoff bracket because for whatever, reason that's 602 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: just a bad matchup for. Them they JUST i love 603 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: it when one team just has another team's number and 604 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: you can't figure it, out or like you, know Like 605 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: Marcus hall is for whatever, reason he's The joel embiid, stopper, 606 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: right so that. Helps those little games within a game 607 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: are pretty cool to. Me so, yeah incredible performance by The. 608 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: ROCKETS i guess that's the move if you're playing against 609 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 2: The jazz is to put as Many Trey kirby's out 610 00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: there as you. 611 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 3: Can, YEAH i mean you talk About gordon fifty only 612 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: on twenty two field goals as. Well six. LIGHT i 613 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: think The jazz as, well you, know Seeing westbrook And 614 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 3: harden now probably sort of, thought, well you, know there's 615 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: just a matter of time before we take control of this, 616 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 3: game because they've been one of the hottest teams in the. 617 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: League, yeah they kind of to like, six, yeah the, 618 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: third but THEN i Think rivers hit a, three Maybe 619 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: house hit a three to two and sort of blowing 620 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: the lead back. 621 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: Up, yeah and they probably. Did they probably did sort of, 622 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 3: think you, know it's just we're Gonna we're gonna win this. 623 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 3: Game it's just a matter of. Win but The rockets 624 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 3: has kept on hitting, threes and, yeah good good for. 625 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 3: Them an important win for Them, Houston and if this 626 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 3: can maybe Give gordon the spark for the second half 627 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 3: of the, season that'll be very important For houston because 628 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 3: we've Seen James harden wear down right, now so there 629 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: is a chance that they're going to Need gordon to 630 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 3: beat that. Guy you, know whether he comes off the 631 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 3: bench or. Not who can give him thirty points on 632 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 3: some nights because he hasn't hasn't been having a good 633 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: season so. 634 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: Far he hit the threes last night. Too but if 635 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: you watch the game where you watch the, highlights he was. 636 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: Attacking that was bowling. Ball Eric, gordon we're eyes bounce off. 637 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: Him he went at Go beart a couple of. Times 638 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: he had that beautiful left hand kiss off the, glass 639 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: where Like gobert usually is getting that with that, wingspan 640 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: but he got he just has his. Size guys do. Bounce. 641 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: Awesome There's royce. O'Neil there's another one gone like he 642 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: was just like and it's not an offensive. Charge he's 643 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: just like creating a little. Contact he's just a little 644 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: too strong and the defender sort of you, know, unlodged 645 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: and then he's too far out of the play and 646 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: then he's laid it. In gordon had a dunk. TOO i, mean, 647 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: yeah we've talked about him. Before he's oddly got a, 648 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: few like in his highlight. 649 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 3: Reel well he's really the.
