00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: fifty thousand subs by Halloween. That's in eleven days, so

23
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: we got some work to do. I think we're about

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: seven k away. We're nearing forty three thousand. Last I checked, Ray.

25
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: Said, come on, October is full of magic. Now that

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: would be magical.

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: We got fifty K by Halloween.

28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: You're right, we can do it.

29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: We can do it really special, all right, we can

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: do it. I believe in us. On today's show, we

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: got so much to talk about. Obviously, the season has started.

32
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: We'll get to the games, but we also have the

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: latest indie Ben Simmons drama. Wow, things popped off yesterday's show.

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: I'll get into Marvin Bagley's agent all about the Kings.

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: That was something that happened. It was actually started yesterday

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: and last night. We also had the first twenty five

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: members of the NBA's seventy fifth anniversary team announced. I've

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: got some problems, some issues with how they're doing this,

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: but we'll get to that later in the show. We

40
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: start with a little game recap task. You can get

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: us going here. The Bucks begin their title defense with

42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: the one twenty seven one oh four victory over the

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets. I know we'll talk about the Rings a

44
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: little bit later, but for the game, you know, pretty

45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: dominant performance there from Milwaukee.

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 3: I thought, fantastic stuff from the Bucks to come out

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: like that. The Nets, they've got a major Yanni Stetokumpo problem. Now,

48
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: you might say, of course everybody does. Twenty nine teams

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: have a Yannis problem. But it's not just Yanni's being

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 3: able to score, it's being able to get his second

51
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: shot opportunities. It's almost shack like. The Nets don't really

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: have a body to stop him. They tried with Blake Griffin,

53
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 3: Yanni's just plowing through him. They tried with James Johnson

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: and the MMA fighter wasn't able to body Yanni's. That's

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: the reason why they brought him in. But Yany's just

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: pushed him under the rim. It's the ability for Yanni's

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: and the rest of the Bucks to get on the

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: boards against the Brooklyn Nets. They just don't have the

59
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: size to deal with the Bucks. The Bucks shot twenty

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: more times. How do you win when you do that?

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: Now?

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: I think I think the Brooklyn Nets, if they play

63
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: anybody else other than Yannis, they probably win. It's just

64
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 3: that this one issue with this one team, and that's

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: the reason why they won the title. The Bucks repeated

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: what they did against the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals.

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: They got more shots than the Suns because not only

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: are they able to grab offensive rebounds, but they don't

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: lose defensive rebounds. They secure every defensive boards. They took

70
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: twenty more shots, a little of that turnovers, mostly rebounds,

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: And I think part of it is the Nets continuity

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: from last year. Their bottom five in terms of returning minutes,

73
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: which is kind of surprising when you think about it.

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: Their big three is back, They've got you know, Blake

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: gets back, LaMarcus Aldridge's back, but a lot of the

76
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: guys who played a lot of minutes aren't. And their

77
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: bottom five according to NBA dot com and John Schuman

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: got to mention where I got that stat don't want

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: John Schuman mad at me after Day one of the

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: NBA season. So a lot of returning parts. And Nick

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: Claxton is one of them. He was on the roster

82
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: last year, but he didn't play. He was a starter yesterday.

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: He started one game last year. And although he is

84
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: a talented center taking the spot of DeAndre Jordan Marcus Aldrich,

85
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: he's thin and he just wasn't getting after it on

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: the boards. So they got pushed around. Frankly is what happened.

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: The Nets have to figure out their rotations. They're big,

88
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: so I don't know if Marcus Aldridge starts, I know

89
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: he looks slow, but he's a bigger body. And if

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: you're going to try and just go around the Marcus Aldrich,

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 3: I think that may take away from what Ghanis does.

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: So I'm not so worried about the Nets. I think

93
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: they got pushed around. And even at the beginning of

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: the game, I did predict the Nets were going to

95
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: win this game. I thought it was coming true because

96
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: Yanni's looked bad. He was clunking shots for a few

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 3: star a few shots. He hadn't won a title before,

98
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: having gone through a ring ceremony. I think that was

99
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: part of it, some nerves. Then he calmed down and

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: they slammed the Brooklyn Nets and they looked like the

101
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: team that had played together for a long time. Jordan Wara,

102
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 3: who everybody hitting shots for the Milwaukee Bucks yesterday, Yeah, it.

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: Was a big night for a guy's named Jordan witha

104
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: there and then pull later on in the Warriors game.

105
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: But yeah, Yannis with I thought it pretty pretty easy

106
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: looking thirty two, fourteen and seven le but I won

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: a good five minutes on Yanni at the free throw line.

108
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: He's got the new routine, the one dribble, he sped

109
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: it up and he shot seven to nine at the line.

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: So have about it.

111
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 7: Free throw master, practice of free throws kids. I mean,

112
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 7: that's really really what it comes down to. But I

113
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 7: think Yannis, what he did in Game six of the

114
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 7: Finals last season has probably really given him that championship

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 7: swaggering confidence to go, hey, I can hit free throws

116
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 7: in the regulous season and opening not. I mean, I've

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 7: done it in the biggest pressure of my career and

118
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 7: I've knocked him down. So on opening night in front

119
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 7: of my fans, Yeah, this is easy, and I think,

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 7: you know, task kind of hit on it.

121
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: They're really like the nets.

122
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 7: As long as Kevin Durant's out there, there are a

123
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 7: chance to beat anybody. But they've got the same problem

124
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 7: they had last year. They just don't have a big

125
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 7: who can stop Yannis. But what do you do?

126
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: Do you get a big?

127
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 7: They had DeAndre Jordan that just obviously didn't work out.

128
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 7: He's no longer on the team there, so do you

129
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 7: have a center or do you have sort of like

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 7: an oversized forward or someone Because Yannas are just so versatile,

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 7: and what I really liked about him last night was

132
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 7: his decision making a couple of times, like when they

133
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 7: would go down and there would be an extra body

134
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 7: coming at him, he would fire it out to someone

135
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 7: and they would most of the time knock down the shop.

136
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 7: Pat Connorden hit four threes last night holiday before he

137
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 7: went out hit a couple, Chris Middleton only hit one,

138
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 7: felt like he hit a few more. Grace and Allen

139
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 7: hit three. So the Bucks offense, to me, is just

140
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 7: so intimidating for everybody else because Jannis just walks into

141
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 7: the paint whenever he wants. If he's hitting these free throws,

142
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 7: you can't foul him. He hit one three himself there

143
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 7: last night, but everyone else is kind of like a

144
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 7: threat if they played the way they did last night.

145
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 7: So that's really got to be a concern for everybody

146
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 7: else in the Eastern Conference. Very important. I think the

147
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 7: fact that you know they got off to a good start.

148
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 7: We knew the Nets were going to make a run

149
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 7: thanks to Paddy Mills coming off the bench just absolutely

150
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 7: lighting them up. But then again, you saw a team

151
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 7: that wins a championship and I think you can just

152
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 7: tell they were like, hey, we're better than these guys.

153
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 7: We can go out there and really assert our dominance.

154
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 7: And that's what they did, so a super impressive first

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 7: up performance. And for the Nets, who knows, of course,

156
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 7: they're missing one of their players who could come back

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 7: and give their offense a bit of a pop, because

158
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 7: what Paddy did last night was great. But I don't

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 7: think they can rely on him hitting seven threes every

160
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 7: single night.

161
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: But they just don't think he's not going to miss

162
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: the three all season.

163
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 7: Look he might, he might, but you know, the Nets,

164
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 7: for me, they've got to look at this. If I'm

165
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 7: sure Mark's can go, We've got a problem in the

166
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 7: middle here. We need to address that because LaMarcus didn't

167
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 7: look good, Paul Millsap gave them nothing, and Blake you know, yeah,

168
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 7: he's physical, but he simply isn't as athletic as he

169
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 7: used to be. But this is not just the Nets problem.

170
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 7: This is basically everyone in the league problem. How do

171
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 7: you slow down Yannas?

172
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Trey, what'd you think of this Milwaukee team to

173
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: get their rings here? I thought they pleaded with great

174
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: tempo and they just they did appear loose. They did

175
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: have that sort of championship swagger to them, starting with

176
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: their leader and Giannis, and I think it trickled down

177
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: to everybody else on the.

178
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: Roster one hundred percent.

179
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 8: Giannis said afterwards that he's happy, and he's not just

180
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 8: happy that he's happy, he's happy that everybody else is happy.

181
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 8: There's a lot of happy going around to Milwaukee. And

182
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 8: you could one hundred percent tell, like you're saying, Skeets,

183
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 8: they just look like a team that had just won

184
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 8: a championship and is playing loose in free right now.

185
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 8: They have the continuity that the Nets don't have. The

186
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 8: Nets look like they're still in preseason. Like y'all have said,

187
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 8: they're going to have to figure out all of their rotations.

188
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 8: Give me some more Bruce Brown. He will help in

189
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 8: the future. Surely Blake Griffin will be better than he.

190
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: Was last night.

191
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 8: But it was more so that the Bucks had more physicality,

192
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 8: they had more intensity, and they had more chemistry. They

193
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 8: look like a team that's been playing together for four seasons.

194
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 8: I mean, I know Drew Holliday wasn't out there for

195
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 8: a long time. Jordan Nwara was a big random piece

196
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 8: of the game last night, But this is a core

197
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 8: that's been together playing the same time style for a

198
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 8: few seasons now, and you can see why teams that

199
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 8: win the championship just continue to improve because they know

200
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 8: what they're doing works, they know how to do what

201
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 8: they want to do, and the margins just get bigger

202
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 8: and bigger for a team like that, like Pat Connaton,

203
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 8: the four threes was awesome.

204
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: He was also making plays off the dribble.

205
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 8: This is really impressive driving down the lane and throwing

206
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 8: down dunks. So it looks like his game has grown

207
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 8: a little bit. It looks like Noora's game has grown

208
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 8: a little bit. The Bucks are still going to be

209
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 8: adding players. They look like a team that said, hey,

210
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 8: everybody thinks the Nets are the favorites. Here, we're the

211
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 8: reigning champions and we brought basically everybody back.

212
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: They proved their point last night. Super impressive from Milwaukee.

213
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: And they have that to go on too. Everybody is

214
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 3: disrespecting them, myself included. The talk out there is Nets

215
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: Lakers or the field. There's so many polls out there

216
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: not including the Bucks in the championship selection. Isn't that

217
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: a little nuhing? So they have that disrespect going for

218
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: them they do. I think they could look at that

219
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: and they can use that as fuel and they can

220
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: be happy. And sticking with that happy comment that Yanni said,

221
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: as Trey said, he's happy about everything.

222
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: I'm happy.

223
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: Watching the League Pass broadcast, there was a nice happy

224
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: moment where he hugged Jim Pashke, the play by play

225
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: commentator forever for the Milwaukee Bucks. He retired this year,

226
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: but he came back for the ring ceremony and he

227
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: had a sweet, sweet hug and then the in game.

228
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: The in arena promos by the Milwaukee Bucks are so good.

229
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: That's why the Leap Pass feed. Especially if the team

230
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 3: is good at those in arena promos, you gotta watch it, man,

231
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: It's so much better than the commercials. I'm just plugging that.

232
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: On day one here I saw a great hug from

233
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 3: Yannis and Jim Pashk. Then I saw great promo. Jim

234
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: Pashke was reading rap lyrics in front of like JD's background. Essentially,

235
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: it wasn't that, it was more like a library Jim

236
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: Paske reading lyrics. It was funny. They had a lot

237
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: of face morphs with guys commenting on it like they've

238
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: got good promos, way better than commercials. Just plugging that

239
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: right now. Not an ad, but it was a good time.

240
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Definitely not an ad when you're saying this was better

241
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: than commercials. The opposite of it that. I just thought

242
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: it was a really impressive win because they went up huge,

243
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: right they went on the twenty one to four I

244
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: think it was run in the first quarter. They're up

245
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: thirty one to twelve. You said it lead. You watched

246
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: a million games. You know the Nets are coming back

247
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: and Patty Mills did catch fire and couldn't miss. But

248
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: even though the Nets got back in the game, Bucks

249
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: push it back to nineteen. The second quarter, you know

250
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: they're up, but seven out a half time, You're like, okay,

251
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: this is still a game. You know, Nets haven't played

252
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: all that well. But the lead never dropped below seven

253
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. And that was with the

254
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: addition of Drew Holiday leaving this one with I guess

255
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: what they're calling, right, heel contusion. That's that's tough to

256
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: do in the NBA, especially against a good team. Yeah,

257
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: they're missing Kyrie, but a good team in the Nets

258
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: with Katie and Harden just to sort of like, you know,

259
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: a little stiff farm there, like Dereck Henry, like just

260
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: keeping them at bay. That's tough to do in this league.

261
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: I don't care what game it is, Game one or

262
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: Game eighty two. It usually gets a little closer than that.

263
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: But that's that was awesome from the bucks A site.

264
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: Yes, it was.

265
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 4: Trying to figure out what you meant by Derek Henry.

266
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 7: No, I'm guessing he's a football I would have said

267
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 7: Derek kick at former Ozzi rules football player.

268
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: He was very he was asked.

269
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 7: But no. The thing is, again, like Kevin Durant can

270
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 7: easily get that shot. You heard Iron Eagle on the broadcast. Basically,

271
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 7: you know James Harden played okay, wasn't his best game there,

272
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 7: but other than Patty, they didn't really have anyone else

273
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 7: who was actually consistently hitting those shots for them. But

274
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 7: Kevin Durant just gets into the middle of the lane

275
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 7: there and he actually struggled to shoot his free throws

276
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 7: last night. He missed a couple, which is very rare

277
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 7: for him. Maybe it's the Wilson ball, even though it's

278
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 7: the same leathers, just basically Wilson instead of Spaulding. It

279
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 7: says on there. Anyway, The point is, you know Kevin Durant,

280
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 7: he knows that there's the same sort of problem that

281
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 7: the Nets have with Yannis. No one can really stop

282
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 7: Kevin Drant, no one can even really challenge him. But

283
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 7: it almost seemed like the workload for him last night

284
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 7: was just a little bit too much because he wasn't

285
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 7: really able to sort of get any flow going because

286
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 7: if he wasn't scoring or Patty wasn't scoring, they just

287
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 7: didn't have all that much else. But a good sign

288
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 7: for a team like Milwaukee is to be able to,

289
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 7: you know, withstand that surge that came and then really

290
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 7: accelerate again. And that to me stands out and I

291
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 7: think those things are really important, the continuity there with

292
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 7: the Bucks because apart from Drew Holiday, as Trey said, there,

293
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 7: you know, Milton has been there for a while and

294
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 7: Budenholz are now in his fourth season. He's also not

295
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 7: playing for or coaching for his contract or is his

296
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 7: career right now. He knows there's a little bit more

297
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 7: freedom then, a little bit more flexibility, and I think

298
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 7: he just felt that with the way the Bucks played,

299
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 7: the ball did move around and they got it felt

300
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 7: like they got so many open shots. Everybody contributed, and

301
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 7: a guy who they brought back, George hill I don't

302
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 7: think he was fantastic at all in the playoffs, but

303
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 7: I think as a veteran coming off the bench, another

304
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 7: steady ball handler and he can also hit the three.

305
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 7: So the Bucks look pretty deep right now. They've still

306
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 7: got some players to come back too.

307
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Devin Chanzl, Bobby Portus, both of these guys don't

308
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: play in the scheme. And those guys are you know,

309
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: part of the rotation. For sure, They're getting minutes when

310
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: they come back to Milwaukee. Yeah, they've got a lot

311
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: of a lot of relief pitchers, I guess to give

312
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: you another sports Yeah, exactly, they can eat up some innings.

313
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: And we talked about this with the with the honest

314
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: like his chances of MVP and whether the narrative is

315
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: there and all that, and is he being overlooked tass,

316
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: But it was mentioned like when he is out there,

317
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: he goes full tilt, like he plays his ass off.

318
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: We saw it there with the huge block on Claxton,

319
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: like early in this game, you know, game one of

320
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the season. Just denying him obviously fills up the box score.

321
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: But but he only plays what thirty one minutes in

322
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: this and I think that's just going to continue to happen,

323
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: especially in the regular season. Like that's the perfect case

324
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: for Boonholzer in the box. It's like, build these leads enough,

325
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: have a deep enough team that we just don't have

326
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: to like rely on of course the honest to play

327
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: like heavy, heavy minutes in the regular season. And I again,

328
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he might play a bunch of regular season games,

329
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: but they'll sort of like just you can. You're almost

330
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: like resting him in a little bit in a way

331
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: by not having to go forty minutes with this guy,

332
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, every second night, and that adds up I

333
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: think at some point when you get to the playoffs.

334
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 4: Oh.

335
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Also, he's twenty six years old, which I think we

336
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: also forget, like he just feels like an older player.

337
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: He's been around forever. He's gone through so many sort

338
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: of losses, like devastating losses in the playoffs. He's just

339
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: entering his prime. And it's scary that, Yeah, there were

340
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: a couple of clankers there, but he's got confidence in

341
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: the jump shot and he looks better at the line

342
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: getting rid of all those dumb dribbles and everybody counting

343
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: to fifteen, I know they're at home. So that's gonna

344
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: happen there. But that's the smarter I remember you talked

345
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: about that Lee like, that's fine, do your whole little

346
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: fake routine first, but when you get the ball, boom

347
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: and shoot it, so they stop overthinking of it. Because

348
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: he took forever last year.

349
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 7: And look, he's a two time MVP Defensive Player of

350
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 7: the Year. He just won a championship. And what did

351
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 7: you do in the offseason? Worked harder at his game.

352
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 7: He knows that that like, people are disrespecting him and

353
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 7: the team. You know, shortened season. No, you got lucky

354
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 7: in the playoffs. Okay, well, I'm going to go out

355
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 7: this year and show that we are the best team

356
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 7: and I am the best player. And I think that's

357
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 7: what I admire and respect about him. The people are

358
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 7: always going to try to pick a part his game

359
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 7: and say, you know, he can't shoot. James Harden said,

360
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 7: he's only you know, he's only good because he's tall

361
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 7: and athletic. Okay, well, if he starts developing that shot

362
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 7: and hitting those free throws, he is virtually a lock

363
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 7: for the MVP. Because again, I think the Bucks will

364
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 7: win those sixty odd games. But I'm not going to

365
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 7: take Trey Young off the board until I've at least

366
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 7: seen him in Actually, tre Young, I'm not going to

367
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 7: give up until at least a month into the season.

368
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 7: Then we'll get a bit of an idea. But yeah, yeah,

369
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 7: I think that's the true sign of a legit star

370
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: is do you get complacent? You know? Pat Riley talks

371
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 7: about it the the disease of more once you win

372
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 7: a championship, instead, your best player, your leader comes back

373
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 7: and shows, hey, I've worked on my game, I've improved.

374
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 7: That sets the tone for the rest of the team.

375
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was disease of me.

376
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 7: I thought it was. Well, it's the same sort of thing.

377
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was because it rhymed better. But okay, maybe.

378
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: He just never gets into that. He never gets into

379
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: the disease of me or the disease of more. He

380
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: just he sticks to the plan. He missed his first

381
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: three shots last night, and his effort, obviously on the

382
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: defensive end, gets him going. He's obviously a two way player.

383
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: That's how they won the championship. With the monstrous block

384
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: on the alleyupe attempt to DeAndre, and even if he

385
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: is clunking a couple on the offensive, end, he gets

386
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: his guys going because he never stops giving efforts. So

387
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: even if it's thirty one minutes, Yeah, the guys you

388
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: have to ride his back. I think that's how Drew

389
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: Holliday found, you know, his way in the postseason, just

390
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: watching Yanni's go and yeah, he is obviously an incredible

391
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: leader and they're going to win so many games because

392
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: Yanni's isn't going to take days off, games off, or

393
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: minutes off when he's in there. And I think James

394
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: Harden is the same kind of guy. Not defensively, but

395
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: in terms of that. He plays a lot of games,

396
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 3: He plays a lot of minutes, and that's something which

397
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 3: you know, we probably don't think about with James Harden,

398
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: but the guy's a workhorse. And his touch with Nick

399
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 3: Laston as the one to the five, you know, James

400
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Harden playing the one trying to set up Nick Claxton,

401
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: this this young guy who they're trying to push Kyle

402
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 3: Korver as a developmental coach, trying to work with him

403
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: on the shot. Their touch was off a lot and

404
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: it was bad and James Arng just couldn't find the

405
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: pass to him. And then when he found one, in

406
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 3: the fourth he looked up to this guy and said, yes,

407
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: I can pass the basketball, but I think that's something

408
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: that's got to come slowly if Claxton's going to be

409
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: that starting center. Yeah, it's back to Nash trying to

410
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: figure out Claxton, Aldridge, Blake, Jeff Green is gone, DeAndre

411
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: Jordan gone, Jared Allen was there at the beginning of

412
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: the year. There's a lot of turnover there, especially with

413
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: the Biggs. They're looking and there could sign somebody, or

414
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: could trade for somebody to try and get in Yiannis's way. Again,

415
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: that's their number one focus is figuring out how to

416
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: stop that dude.

417
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Trey said it. It felt like an extension of

418
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: preseason here with the experimentation, at least from the nets.

419
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: When it came to the rotations, like the no Bruce

420
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: Brown is it was odd. It was a little on definitely.

421
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know you're getting killed out there.

422
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: You know he's a hustle guy. Yeah, he's undersize, but

423
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: why wouldn't you get some spot minutes. I was a

424
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: little perplexed by that. So I assume we're going to

425
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: see him here, Trey in the next couple of games.

426
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 8: Well, you would assume so, But the Nets also brought

427
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 8: in a lot of guys who played the same position

428
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 8: as Bruce Brown. So maybe it's just the case of

429
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 8: Steve Nash wants to see what a Paul Millsap can do,

430
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 8: what LaMarcus Aldridge can do after taking a little bit

431
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 8: of time off, he looks slow. Paul Millsap. I had

432
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 8: to check the box score. Yeah, I guess he did

433
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 8: play last night. But Bruce Brown will be a part

434
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 8: of this team eventually because it's gonna make the most

435
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 8: sense with Kevin Durant basically playing the five and Bruce

436
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 8: Brown guarding the other big guy who's actually out there.

437
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 8: That will be the eventual formulation for this team, I

438
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 8: would have to imagine, just because they're going to be

439
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 8: offensively based and playing small ball is what they do best.

440
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 8: That's why Jeff Green was so solid for him last year.

441
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 8: But you also don't need to reveal all of your

442
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 8: cards early in the season.

443
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: This is game one.

444
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 8: The Nets probably won't end up with the number one

445
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 8: seed this They probably don't even care about it. They

446
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 8: just want to get their guys healthy, especially considering the

447
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 8: way things went down for them in the playoffs last year.

448
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 4: Did a quick google over here.

449
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it?

450
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 4: Apparently pat Riley's phrase is disease of more?

451
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: Oh okay, how Riley?

452
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 4: Oh that has nine.

453
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 8: Million Google results. Pat Riley disease of me has nineteen.

454
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 4: Million, Yeah Google results. It's a real Berenstein Bears.

455
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 7: Yeah situation right here, classic classic stuff before we.

456
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: Get to the rings, because I want to show everybody

457
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: here on YouTube if you didn't get a chance to

458
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: catch these last night and all that they can do.

459
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: We almost had a weggie. Well, in fact, we did

460
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: have a weggie, but it came well after the whistle task.

461
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people on Twitter were very excited.

462
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: People on Instagram. We'd love to see it every time

463
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: there's a weggie tweet at us. Hit us up on

464
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: ig and the comments wherever you want to get at

465
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: us on social media at no dunk sync. But but

466
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: but everybody was just a little too excited tasks, you know,

467
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: I think was it and Wara had maybe stepped out

468
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: of bounds. Whistles called, then he attacks and then it

469
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: gets like blocked in there. It was a nice one,

470
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: but we're not counting weggies that are well after the whistle.

471
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: I just want to make that clear.

472
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would have loved a war a widget widget,

473
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: a war a Wedgie called it a war widget. I

474
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 3: would have loved a weggie from a new player. I

475
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: can assure you Jordan Warre has never had a weggie.

476
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 3: That would have been amazing. Jordan Wara with the Wilson

477
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: Jet to start the season. Yeah it was. It was

478
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: way after the whistle. It can't just be thrown in there.

479
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it can't be Actually have some rules

480
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: that will usually break.

481
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's the continuation rule that is very ambiguous.

482
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: Who knows, but yeah, we play by that rule. If

483
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: it's guy driving hacked throws it up and it's a weggie,

484
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: sure count it.

485
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 7: Yeah.

486
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean Eagle didn't even mention it. So that's why

487
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: I felt really confident, Like, of course he heard the whistle.

488
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: He's out of balance. This play is well dead. But hey,

489
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: be a good sign of things to come, you know,

490
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: at least we at least see one lee on opening night,

491
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: even Wigie. Yeah, a war of Wilson Wedgie say that

492
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: three times fast. Throw widget in there if you want to. Okay,

493
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: let's show everybody these rings because they are wild. Here

494
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: they are for everybody joining us on YouTube. Bucks Championship

495
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: rings three hundred and sixty diamonds on the top to

496
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: represent the bucks total wins under current ownership. I thought

497
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: that was really weird. It's a bit of a stretch.

498
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: All the wins under this ownership. Let's get a diamond

499
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: for each one. And then I guess we have sixteen

500
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: emerald shaped diamonds on each side that are symbolizing their

501
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: sixteen playoff wins last season and their sixteen division titles franchises.

502
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, but but but that you know, normal.

503
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: Look at NBA Championship ring. I would say for the

504
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: most part, I think it looks beautiful there. It's what

505
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: it can do tasks. That's a little wild. You can

506
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: take off the top, and I would recommend you don't

507
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: try and take off the top when you're holding a mic.

508
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: You're on live television. Ready just dropped the top part

509
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: because she had so many things in her hands.

510
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: She played it off well though she rolled well.

511
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, she didn't mention that she dropped it. I guess

512
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: that is playing it off cool. Uh, you can turn

513
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: it into a necklace there. That's that top part. And

514
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: then there's a bunch of stuff in the inside of

515
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: a task and there's a QR code, and it's pretty wild.

516
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: What do you think. Are you a fan of these?

517
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the gen Z ring. It's not just a ring,

518
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: it's a necklace. So it creates a whole new piece

519
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: of jewelry. I would say, I'm not young anymore. I'm

520
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 3: on the top end of a millennial, but I think

521
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 3: gen zs like necklaces or pendants, whatever you call it,

522
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: more than rinks.

523
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 7: Right.

524
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 3: They want to throw it on a chain. You gotta chain.

525
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: My only issue is okay, so creates a new piece

526
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: of jewelry. You pop it off, you gotta have a

527
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: necklace ready to go. It doesn't come with a necklace.

528
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: If I'm a mistake that chain, I don't know. I

529
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: don't know, but I love it because of that. I

530
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: think it it increases, you know, your converse with somebody Holton.

531
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: First of all, look what it does. Second of all,

532
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: can you put this on me? It increases the touching,

533
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 3: It increases your companionship with somebody. And third I think

534
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: it it lengthens the chat. Because you said there's a

535
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: QR code in there. Everybody wants to be on the phone,

536
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: so you scan it. QR codes are so hot right now,

537
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 3: and it shows a video of the Bucks Championship run

538
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: as soon as you scan it, so it just creates.

539
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 3: It's it's far more than a ring. It's a far

540
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: more important piece of jewelry. It's a conversation starter and

541
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: an extender. You know, it's not just it's not just

542
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: a hey, here's my ring. It's it's way more than that.

543
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: And no one gives a crap about rings anymore, is

544
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: what I'm feeling from this. Uh, people people care more

545
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: about necklaces, am I right? They want to show off

546
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: some bling bling on the necklace rather than now, who's

547
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: going to lose it as the issue because it's.

548
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw a network tweeting that, like, who's going

549
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: to be the first Bucks player to lose the bottom

550
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: part of the ring? Lely, you got any guesses? Because

551
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: that's that is one issue there. I love the Steff

552
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: just turning it into the necklace. I think that's really

553
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: cool into the pendant. But where you're putting that bottom

554
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: part with QR.

555
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 7: Cod I think Robin Lopez is going to steal it

556
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 7: off Brook and then just pretend he didn't and just

557
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 7: say you lost it. You lost it, so it doesn't

558
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 7: really count. Whoever did design that as a big James

559
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 7: Bond fan clearly because that looks like Q saying to

560
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 7: James Bond, like, Okay, it's a ring, but then you

561
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 7: can do all this funky stuff with it. It's not

562
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 7: actually a ring. It can you know, blow up a

563
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 7: building or something like that. It turns into a car,

564
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 7: you can drive off, you can fly around, you can

565
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 7: do all that stuff because you know James Bond's had

566
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 7: a pen where you can activate it by just like

567
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 7: doing the like that. So I think it's the same thing.

568
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 7: In fact, the latest Bond movie, what's It, No Time

569
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 7: to Die? I think that's out now as well. So

570
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 7: good timing here.

571
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 4: Maybe not an ab not an ad.

572
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: What do you think, Trey? I mean, I know you

573
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: like to wear a necklace. You wear wedding rings, but

574
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: you like your necklaces more than rings. I think tasses, right,

575
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: So what do you think of this idea?

576
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 8: Well, I'll tell you a necklace breaks a lot easier

577
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 8: than a ring. Despite what Stephanie Ready might have you believe.

578
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 8: I broke my necklace recently. Still haven't got it. Fixed,

579
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 8: but my ring is feeling fine. I'm a little disappointed

580
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 8: they covered up cream City on the bottom part of

581
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 8: the ring there, all it says is em City.

582
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 4: Come on, I thought y'all were proud of your cool

583
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: tiles there.

584
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: But ah, yeah, I see you're saying.

585
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 8: I mean, these are in literally incredible, Like that's a

586
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 8: full size rap pendant that you're getting, but it's also

587
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 8: a championship ring. I will say I'm a little worried

588
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 8: about the QR codes. Gonna have to pay for those

589
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 8: hosting fees until the end of time because I mean,

590
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 8: you know these.

591
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 4: Rings are gonna last. Are you gonna keep those highlights

592
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: updated on the same website? Now? You got to?

593
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: Is that why they blurred out the QR code here

594
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: for these official photos from the Bucks so we wouldn't

595
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: use too much bandwidth on their website out the highlights.

596
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: I do have a question tasked. Do you know whether

597
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: or not the QR code is specific for each player

598
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: or is it just like you know, a Bucks championship run.

599
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: That would be pretty damn Yeah.

600
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: If you could show somebody, hey, you want to see

601
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: my highlights if specifically I won the ship and these

602
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 3: are my highlights.

603
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 4: Sure, I don't.

604
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. I wasn't Stephan you ready for this question.

605
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: I think.

606
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: I think it's just a generic Bucks Championship runs. That's

607
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: my thinking.

608
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: But but what they I was trying to find a

609
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: copy of it last night on Twitter, you know, like

610
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 4: a zoomed in version to see what they actually got.

611
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 4: They're really keeping it under wraps and under the top

612
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 4: of the ring.

613
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: But but what they did here is they created something

614
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: that people will wear. The biggest problem with the rings

615
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: is nobody wants to wear them all the time.

616
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: They're obnoxiously large. Yeah, but people are, even for a

617
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: giant guy that's an NBA player. We've seen them on

618
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: these guys when we worked at NBA TV. Even they

619
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: even Shack admits like this is sort of ridiculous, Like

620
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: you can't really wear this.

621
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 3: All the time, and they don't, but they'll wear a

622
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 3: pendant all the time.

623
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

624
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

625
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 7: I saw Horace Grant and can't cune Apple airing. He's

626
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 7: like nineteen ninety two Championship ring. I'm just I'm just

627
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 7: gonna throw it out there because Horace Grant stood out.

628
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 7: I looked down and the first thing I noticed is

629
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 7: like Wow, he's got his second championship ring on. I

630
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 7: wonder why he's got that one on.

631
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: Okay, but is it fair to say in the nineties

632
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: there was a little more class to these rings. They

633
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: were a little meeby a little more normal size than

634
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: they are now because they just got larger and larger.

635
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 7: Honestly, it looked huge still on his gigantic hands there,

636
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 7: so you know there's only a few years ago. Still

637
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 7: in good shape too, Horace.

638
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: Great.

639
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: You sure it wasn't Hervey. I guess it wasn't. If

640
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: he's wearing a ring, yeah exactly. I mean that's why

641
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: he wears it so they don't confuse him. No, I'm

642
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: horras not.

643
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 7: I think he had some bulls gear on as well.

644
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: So all right, he really wanted you to know.

645
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: Okay, he was rebounding the whole time.

646
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: It was crazy.

647
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: I will say every ring in the history of rings

648
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: is a convertible to a necklace. Though.

649
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 8: By the way, yeah, well you gotta do. It's just

650
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 8: it doesn't sit maybe his nice Yeah, I guess that's true.

651
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 8: Shut out, my guy, frodo though.

652
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 4: What do you what do you got?

653
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: Tasks? What do you got?

654
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 4: No?

655
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: No, No, that's something.

656
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I am sure. I'll show you me

657
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: wearing this. This is me wearing Channing Fry's ring a

658
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: while back if you're watching on YouTube. Yeah, it's obviously

659
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: like covers four of my It's like it's like a

660
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: knuckle rat. It's way too big, but depended. That'd be nice, all.

661
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: Right, next game here, that's enough on the rings. Curry

662
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: and the Warriors stun Lebron and the Lakers one twenty one,

663
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: one fourteen in the nightcap, second game of the TNT doubleheader.

664
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: Tray get it started. What does it takeaways from this?

665
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 8: Well, it's just one game, but the Warriors are going

666
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 8: to the finals and Jordan Poole is gonna win finals.

667
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: MVP.

668
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, buddy, great day for the hot takes. Last night,

669
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 4: fun game out West.

670
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 8: Lakers looked like they were doing all right through three quarters,

671
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 8: built a nice lead, got it to double digits, but

672
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 8: then they gave up thirty eight points in the fourth quarter.

673
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 8: And it wasn't just Steph Curry lighting up the Lakers.

674
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 8: There was a big time run key by Jordan Poole

675
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 8: and the Manya b Elitza there in the fourth quarter.

676
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 8: Three minutes in in the fourth quarter Jordan Poole had

677
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 8: assisted or scored on twelve points during a fifteen to

678
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 8: five run, and he just looked awesome, Like he looked

679
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 8: like he is living up to all of the hype

680
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 8: that he had in the preseason. You know, Steph Curry postgame,

681
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 8: he said he had a trash game despite the fact

682
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 8: that he had a twenty one point triple double. That's

683
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 8: not good enough for him, but it was okay because

684
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 8: he actually had somebody alongside him who could run the

685
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 8: offense in Jordan Poole, who could get his own shots

686
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 8: off the dribble, who could do some of stuff with

687
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 8: the ball in his hands, and when he didn't have

688
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 8: the ball in his hands, Namania Bilitza looked great. Looked

689
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 8: like the second coming of David Lee out there attacking

690
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 8: the gaps, moving the ball and making plays off the

691
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 8: dribble as well, kind of serving a little bit in

692
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 8: the Draymond role where you know it would be a

693
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 8: four on three. Maybe Curry was getting trapped by the Lakers,

694
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 8: Somebody's got to make a play. It ended up being

695
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 8: Namanya b elitz or Jordan Poole. This is a great

696
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 8: game for the Warriors. Depth wise, You know, because, like

697
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 8: I said, Curry didn't shoot the ball incredibly well, he

698
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 8: was still Curry out there drawing a ton of attention.

699
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 8: But the Warriors got a lot of contributions from their

700
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 8: role players, and when you compare it to what the

701
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 8: Lakers did and how well they're big two played and

702
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 8: the middling contributions they got from their role players, you

703
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 8: could see the difference.

704
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: Last night. Warriors looked like they had figured some things

705
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 4: out and the Lakers looked like they'd got a long

706
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: way to go.

707
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, lee rough game for Russell Westbrook. Nightmare start if

708
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: you want to call it that, maybe one of his

709
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: least effective games of his career. I don't even think

710
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: that's a stretch to say. Eight five and four was

711
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: his box score, four turnovers, four thirteen shooting, and zero

712
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: free throw attempts. We thought this might take a while.

713
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: Russ has done this before. We've seen it with Washington,

714
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: we saw it with Houston. Slow starts and then he

715
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: turns it on like a month or two in is

716
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: do you see that happening here or is this going

717
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: to be different? Because Westbrook really has to figure out

718
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: how to play with Lebron James, who has to have

719
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: the ball all the time and should and Westbrooks of course.

720
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: Then after ball, what did you think of this first game?

721
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 7: Well, that lineup at the end there was Baysmore, Bradley, Westbrook, Davis,

722
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 7: and Lebron. And it's like, okay, if Lebron is going

723
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 7: to play the point, then you may as well take

724
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 7: Westbrook out and just put Mellow out there as a

725
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 7: shooter because Westbrook is not a shooter. Other than that,

726
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 7: give the ball to Westbrook and have Lebron as a

727
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 7: shooter and have Westbrook try to create and go inside it.

728
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 7: I just thought their offense looked really stagnant. They've got

729
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 7: good games out of Lebron and Anthony Davis, both scoring

730
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 7: more than thirty.

731
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: Points, but that was it.

732
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 7: They just didn't have anyone else who was able to

733
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 7: really get any flow gone. They've got this, you know,

734
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 7: supposed shooters out there, Baysmore and Mellow and those guys

735
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 7: as I mentioned, and in fact, Avery Bradley, who they

736
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 7: picked up off the scrap heap just before the game

737
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 7: hit two three is late for them. So to me,

738
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 7: it's like you can either say, Okay, Lebron, you're going

739
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 7: to just sort of do what you want to do

740
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 7: and take over, or you're going to have to like

741
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 7: spread the floor out and put the shooters around him.

742
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 7: That's when he's at his most effective because then he

743
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 7: can take on his defender one on one. But if

744
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 7: those other guys are out there aren't really there, then

745
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 7: it sort of just bogs down their offense a little bit.

746
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 7: So I think Frank Fogel's got something to work out.

747
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 7: But you mentioned there the Russell Westbrook thing. It has

748
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: taken him time to adjust and that I think we

749
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 7: have to give him at least that credit that he

750
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 7: will take some time here. I mean, he's already trending

751
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 7: on Twitter with Buddy Hill. The Kings are already trying

752
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 7: to look at that deal to spread the floor a

753
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 7: little bit more there, But not a very convincing performance

754
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 7: from the Lakers bench and their depth. Because as good

755
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 7: as Lebron is and he can still put up those

756
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 7: nights quite easily, I just don't think at this stage

757
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 7: of his career you want him having to do all that.

758
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 7: He hit some shots late, but he also felt to

759
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 7: me a couple of times he came down and is like,

760
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 7: there's just not really anything move I didn't think Anthony

761
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 7: Davis was even moving all that well last night, despite

762
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 7: the decent line that he put up. So Lakers have

763
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 7: got some things to figure out here. But they're an

764
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 7: experienced team of veteran team that have got some time.

765
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 7: But certainly those early season concerns that I had showed

766
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 7: themselves there last night. So we'll see what happens from here.

767
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 7: Because if you can have Steph Curry go five twenty one,

768
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 7: he did have that triple double, but he certainly didn't

769
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 7: dominate at all. And you know, the Lakers, we're in

770
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 7: control for most of this game, was just that sort

771
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 7: of fourth quarter run where their offense fell apart task.

772
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: What'd you think of this one?

773
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 3: Well, it's telling that through three plus quarters, Avery Bradley,

774
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: the guy that they didn't have for entire training camp,

775
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: just comes in and plays in the fourth quarter because

776
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 3: they were so desperate for a guy to play defense

777
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: on the perimeter. Frank Vogel is a defensive minded coach,

778
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: that's where he comes from from the Pacers, so he

779
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: was desperate. And it's telling that we saw Lebron James

780
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 3: four minutes left, he throws up a three and he's

781
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: the only one to get back on defense, he gets

782
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: hit with a two on one, a three buried in

783
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: his eye and he slams the ball to the floor

784
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: because no one's playing defense around him. And that's the

785
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: biggest worry to me. Lebron and Ad go for thirty

786
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: four and thirty three. Yes, Russell Westbrook, he has to

787
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 3: get acclimated to these guys. But he also just plays

788
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 3: badly to start the season. The last year he was

789
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: bouncing the ball off his leg and out of bounds

790
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 3: with the washing to Wizards to start the season. And

791
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 3: he gets better, but it's the defensive end where Lebron

792
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 3: is going to demand some things. That's gonna be the issue.

793
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 3: If KCP ain't there and Alex Caruso isn't there, then

794
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: that's that's really what it comes down to. It's it's

795
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: they're going to figure it out on the on the

796
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 3: offensive end, I think they'll score enough, but Frank Vogel's

797
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 3: trying guys playing beside Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk just doesn't

798
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 3: know where to go defensively. He was just lost out there,

799
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 3: and so Avery Bradley comes in as the savior, as

800
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 3: the guy. Yeah, the Warriors just cut to try and

801
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 3: help out. So that's the biggest issue for the Lakers,

802
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: is a little bit of defensive mindedness. And on the

803
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 3: other side, maybe you can just relax and keep Clay

804
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: out of the lineup if you've got Jordan Poole playing

805
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: this way and and them and your be elites are

806
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: coming in playing this way and Andre Goodala looking as

807
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 3: young as he has in a couple of years. So

808
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: that's good for for the the Golden State Warriors, because yeah,

809
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 3: you're your m VP.

810
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: Pick their skeets for Jordan Poole.

811
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: M I P what was it?

812
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: Well, well, no, I mean I wanted everybody to slow

813
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: down on the preseason hype for Jordan Poole because I

814
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: said it was getting out of control where people were

815
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: saying he should be in the MVP conversation, let alone

816
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: the MP, which hell, he might have the case at that.

817
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: But then we did this weird little athletic TikTok video yesterday.

818
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: You know, they reached out to us, Hey, can you

819
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: guys do hot takes. I guess there's this TikTok challenge

820
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: going around called like past the Phone, and you know

821
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: I checked it out. I'm not on TikTok, but I

822
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: checked it out, and I'm like, oh, and from what

823
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: I could tell, I thought I was supposed to come

824
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: up with a really dumb, out there hot take that

825
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: then would be attached randomly to somebody else within this

826
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: fun little thing the athletic was doing. So mine that

827
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: I sent in was Jordan Poole is going to win

828
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: finals MVP.

829
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: Good pick.

830
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking like a genius. Now you nearly outscored Curry.

831
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: You're right, but it was attached to me. I forget

832
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: who threw it to me. Zach Harper was like, I'm

833
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: going to pass the phone to Jay Skeets, who thinks

834
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole's gonna win finals MVP. I'm like, no, I don't.

835
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: I wanted you to think that looked like the fool.

836
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe after one game, maybe it's working out

837
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: for me, Trey.

838
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 8: I think it's looking great right now, at the very least,

839
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 8: if you're talking about the MVP conversation after one night,

840
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 8: it's Yiannis number one, and I think it's gotta be

841
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 8: Jordan's little number two.

842
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 4: Welcome to the table, buddy.

843
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: He's got crazy confidence.

844
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 5: Man.

845
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he thinks he is.

846
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 4: Curry and Clay I mean, he had some brutal misses.

847
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: Somebody like had a twelve footer backed it out for

848
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 4: three air ball that had him pull up from the

849
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,479
Speaker 4: right wing probably thirty feet out. All glass didn't stop

850
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 4: him from shooting though, I swear to god it had

851
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 4: the rare airball that like went over the rim and

852
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 4: like somehow dropped that. It was not good once.

853
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know then you hit four, Lee, what

854
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: do you think of it?

855
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I lot Reggie Miller's cool on that because

856
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 7: he hit a three just before that, and then he

857
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 7: clunked that one on and just went no.

858
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: But you know, he's got a little playmaking to him,

859
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: like he's he's got some similarities of course to a Clay,

860
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: but he does a lot of different things too. I mean,

861
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, Clay's never a concern off the dribble by

862
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: any means he's an attacker.

863
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, we should put a quick poll up who was

864
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 7: the better Jordan last night? Wara was pretty good. Certainly

865
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 7: wasn't DeAndre anyway?

866
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: Dere Why is DeAndre Jordan starting?

867
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: We all thought Anthony Davis, Yeah, because Looney was I

868
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 3: don't know, Anthony Davis can't guard Kevon Looney No, here's

869
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: here's the rest man.

870
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 4: I think that's what it is. Here's grey. Jordan is

871
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 4: just he's friendly, like you don't want to sit him

872
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: on the bench.

873
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: It's just like the Nets. It's these coaches in Game

874
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 1: one especially, it's like, yah, play the old guys, play

875
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: the vets. They deserve it. They put in the years.

876
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: Start up happens.

877
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 7: You know.

878
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: That's why you're getting more millsap in Aldridge and Blake.

879
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: Then you're getting Bruce Brown, I think with the Brooklyn Nets,

880
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's why DeAndre Jordan is sort of starting.

881
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: He's he's he's buddies with the guys there, and he's

882
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: the older guy and he's got a ring from the

883
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: Olympics and all that stuff, so ring he's gonna the other.

884
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 7: The other thing that's right now is that red flag emoji. Yeah,

885
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 7: you could just put that for DeAndre Jordan. Red flags

886
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 7: everywhere because I mean, you know, but seriously, because the

887
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 7: Nets right desperately need some sort of interior veteran presence,

888
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 7: and DeAndre Jordan they had him and they're like just

889
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 7: get out of here. So there should have been those

890
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 7: red flags every Lakers that sometimes to go former defensive

891
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 7: player of former star, formerle NBA first team But at

892
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 7: points you're just like, you know what, he's just done.

893
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 7: And I think that's the case with DeAndre Jordan right now.

894
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 7: He just doesn't seem to look like he just doesn't

895
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 7: seem to have any real energy out there. He's just

896
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 7: kind of like, I'm just out here because they've got

897
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 7: no one else apart from d White.

898
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: Well, it's different. If you're signing him as a minimum

899
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: player like the Lakers are than what the Nets did

900
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 3: for ten milli a year, then that's desperately needed some

901
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: financial room. That sort of made sense. But if DeAndre

902
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 3: Jordan is in the Lakers locker room like he's the

903
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: third string center, given high fives, like like Lebron has

904
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 3: always wanted in his career, you know with the Cavs,

905
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 3: he said, Kendrick Perkins, get in here, not because you're

906
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 3: playing man, but because we want you to be a

907
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 3: Dante Jones. We want you to high five everybody, you know,

908
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 3: be that great locker room presence. But to get him

909
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 3: starting after Anthony Davis said he was going to be

910
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 3: the starting center, maybe maybe it's this start of the

911
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: year to have the Vets out there. But it just

912
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: screams to me what every team has done with Anthony Davis.

913
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 3: It's play a guy beside him at the five, keep

914
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 3: him fresh for fourth quarter minutes. And that's fine.

915
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 7: But it's.

916
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 4: It's not it's not great.

917
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 3: You know, Anthony Davis is he's so good, he can

918
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: play both positions. I think it's just keeping him fresh.

919
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 3: And you have Dwight Howard on the bench too, So

920
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: I don't know when Anthony Davis is going to start

921
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 3: at center. I thought Dwyight was in mid season.

922
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 7: For him though, with his fail that he got, I

923
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 7: think it was he just whacked him, and dwy he's

924
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 7: just looking around, like what what?

925
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 4: What wants?

926
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: That?

927
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: I actually loving leaning into this his career, he just

928
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: was a gill of ship. Now he just hacks guys

929
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: left and right.

930
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 8: I'll say, I thought screens were a problem when he

931
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 8: played forty minutes a game, but now that he only

932
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 8: plays like twenty five minutes, He's like, who cares?

933
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 7: I've got in both games. The refereeing was good last night.

934
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 7: That there was a lot more contact aloud, and that

935
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 7: I think is really really important. But I just thought Dwight,

936
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 7: like it seems to not understand that you can't just

937
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 7: swing your arms around. You just can't do that Dwight

938
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 7: and clop a guy in the head.

939
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, wow, back, I do have a question, Lee,

940
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: uh for you. I don't know if you saw the

941
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: quotes from Lebron. He's not too worried about Westbrook's poor debut.

942
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: He said, quote, he's so hard on himself. I told him,

943
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: don't be so hard on yourself. It's one game. He's

944
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: sounded like Bob Duka there Lebron is. But he also said,

945
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: hold them to go home and watch a comedy. Lee,

946
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: What comedy are you suggesting Westbrook watch after that rough

947
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: game one? What are you telling him to watch? The chirrup?

948
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 7: There's a classic classic movie from the eighties. Yeah, Val

949
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 7: Kilmer stars in it called Top Secret, and it's by

950
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 7: the same guys who did Hot Shots and The Naked Gun.

951
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 7: I think it is the Zuckers, is it? I think?

952
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

953
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 7: Anyway, absolute classic, Probably the first comedy where I was

954
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 7: just like on the ground rolling in laughter. It's hilarious

955
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 7: and yeah, I think Russ.

956
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: Would enjoy that. I think I really think top Secret,

957
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: top Secret. Check it out.

958
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 7: Val Kilmer is the star and it's probably his first

959
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 7: like feature film. He plays this American singer called Nick

960
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 7: Rivers and he goes to Russia to Germany to play

961
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 7: back in the old time. So it's it's hilarious.

962
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: Check it out.

963
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 7: But I will say Russ pretty pretty intense there. He

964
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 7: got the tea there last night, and he didn't look

965
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 7: like he was enjoying himself on the bench, and understandably so,

966
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 7: but yeah, yeah, it was it was a bit of

967
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 7: a rough knife for him there. But yeah, I again,

968
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 7: Anthony Davis, the numbers tell you that he had a

969
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 7: good game. I didn't think he was all that impressive

970
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 7: last night. I didn't think he really flexed his muscles

971
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 7: as he should have.

972
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 4: So anyway, I thought he was awesome in the first half.

973
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 8: It looked like in the first half he was trying

974
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 8: to get layups and dunks the entire time. And then

975
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 8: the second half, you know, the Warriors kind of made

976
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 8: it a point to have ad not be as readily

977
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 8: available in the paint. Inn he wasn't in the paint

978
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 8: nearly as much, so you know, shout out to the

979
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 8: Warriors for taking that away. But that's also going to

980
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 8: be a problem for the Lakers. If they have a

981
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 8: center out there outside of Davis alongside Westbrook, there's gonna

982
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 8: be people just waiting in the lane, and Davis needs

983
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 8: to be in the lane. That's the secret to the

984
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 8: to the Lakers. They get shots at the rim between

985
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 8: Lebron and Ad They're gonna have a chance as long

986
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 8: as those two guys are out there.

987
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 4: But they got to find a way to get easy

988
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 4: buckets for him.

989
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: I have one more note from this game. I don't

990
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: know if you guys have any anything else, but Reggie

991
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: Miller on the call for this second game, he said

992
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: something that like made me perk up a little bit,

993
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, huh really. It was when Mello

994
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: and Rondo were checking in, and he said something along

995
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: the lines of like, you know how nice it must

996
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: be for Vogel to have two future Hall of famers

997
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: checking in here. Mello Okay, yeah, Locke put him in

998
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. You know what, He's top ten

999
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: already in scoring. That makes sense. I'm there is Rondo

1000
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: an automatic Hall of Fame player in your mind? Like

1001
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: like Reggie was alluding to, I was like, I don't

1002
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: know if I guess what I'm saying. Is If Rondo

1003
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: is a lock for the Hall of Fame, then our

1004
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: debate about whether Kyle Lowry was eventually going to get

1005
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: in means he's in. And I'm just like not so

1006
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: sure of either of them tasks. Is Rondo in your opinion?

1007
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: You know, when he's done? Is he in the right way?

1008
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: Two rings? Four All Star selections, one All NBA, a

1009
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: couple All Defensive team? Is that enough in your mind?

1010
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: It's not enough in my mind? No, a lot, right, Yeah,

1011
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: it's you know, you got a factor in the player

1012
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 3: and everything alongside the the accomplishments, and so yeah, it's

1013
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: it's definitely one of those if you just look at

1014
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 3: the accomplishments, it lines up with other guys, there's no doubt.

1015
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 3: So that's why he can be inserted into the debate.

1016
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 3: But for me, I would say no. I would say no.

1017
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, boosted obviously by what he did with the Celtics.

1018
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: So you know, if really you're putting in Rondo, you're

1019
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 3: putting in four. You got four Celtics there that are

1020
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 3: going in there based on that championship to some degree.

1021
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean Ray was going to get in kgusing again, Okay,

1022
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 3: it's not based on that championship. Pierce is going to

1023
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 3: get any but Rondo's strictly. It's strictly because of what

1024
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 3: he did with those guys. Essentially, you know, the second

1025
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 3: ring with the Lakers is it's gravy. But the All

1026
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 3: Star appearances and the the championship, Yeah, it's just he

1027
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: was He was there. He was great. He was very

1028
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 3: good for that team with guys that could hit, but

1029
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 3: everything that came along with it, guys who you know,

1030
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 3: really couldn't stand him with the Dallas Mavericks, you know,

1031
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 3: he essentially left the team. He went to the Kings,

1032
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 3: and it's hard. It's it's hard for me to put

1033
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 3: him in after watching all that stuff, after watching him

1034
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 3: not be a great teammate with a bunch of teams.

1035
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: Is where I struggle, because the accomplishments again they line up.

1036
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: We know Lee's opinion on this. I won't even ask him,

1037
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 1: but that's a poll. I want to know what people

1038
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: think overall, is run to a lock for the Hall

1039
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think it might be closer than I

1040
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: even think. We will see, all right, we got lots

1041
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: still to get here. Oh my goodness, we're running real

1042
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: along here with our first show. But first a quick

1043
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: break to hear from our sponsors. All right, back with

1044
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,479
Speaker 1: no dunks here, Lee, lock it in. We're going ninety

1045
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: minutes here for our first real official show of the

1046
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NBA season, because we got lots more

1047
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: still to talk about. We just did fifty plus minutes

1048
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: there on the games alone. All right, let's start speaking

1049
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: up as we go on here. But my goodness, Ben

1050
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: Simmons has received a one game suspension for conduct detrimental

1051
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: to the team, and he will miss the season opener

1052
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: against the Pelicans tonight. According to reports, Ben Simmons was

1053
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 1: kicked out of practice on Tuesday due to a lack

1054
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: of engagement. Sixers head coach Doc Rivers asked Simmons to

1055
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: join a defensive drill at practice, and the point guard refused.

1056
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: The actual quote going around is no, So Doc said,

1057
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: get the hell out of here, then drop the ball,

1058
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: and off he went. The seventy six Ers have suspended

1059
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. Herely, I guess the question is, I know

1060
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: you're probably tired of talking about this, but where.

1061
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 2: Do we go now?

1062
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 1: And is trading Simmons the only possible option? I mean it,

1063
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: can they salvage this. Can he actually come and play

1064
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: for this team, or he's like is it just send

1065
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: him home, have them away from the team because he's

1066
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: causing this disruption and just try and treat them get

1067
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: whatever you can.

1068
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 7: What do you think, well, if he wants to get traded,

1069
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 7: I don't think he's handling this the right way at all,

1070
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 7: because nobody's going to sympathize with petulant behavior. And to me,

1071
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 7: all he's doing is making his situation way tougher for himself,

1072
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 7: because I think this is going to give other teams

1073
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 7: reason to sort of hesitate a little bit, saying like, Okay,

1074
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,399
Speaker 7: I understand he's pissed off at the franchise, but he's

1075
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 7: now just acting like a child. I think the best

1076
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 7: thing Ben Simmons should do right now is say, you

1077
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 7: know what, I'm going to go out there and Russell

1078
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 7: Westbrook my way out of Philadelphia. And by that, I

1079
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 7: mean just go out there and stuff the stat sheet

1080
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 7: every single night, regardless of winning or losing, because if

1081
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 7: they win, he can say, look how good I am.

1082
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 7: I'm putting up nearly triple double figures and we're not winning,

1083
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 7: and if they lose, he's still putting up those near

1084
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 7: triple double numbs thing to say, see, it's not my fault.

1085
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing my part.

1086
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 7: No one else is contributing. So whether you want to

1087
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 7: blame him or the franchise, and there's enough of both

1088
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 7: there him behaving like this and just saying no, I'm

1089
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 7: not doing that, I'm not doing this. I just think

1090
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 7: it makes him look like a dick. And if you're

1091
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 7: another team him and you're like going, this guy just

1092
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 7: really can't sort of get himself back on track here

1093
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 7: and say I'm gonna play my way out of Philadelphia,

1094
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 7: so that teams really really start falling over themselves to

1095
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 7: trade for him. I think that's the biggest problem. I've

1096
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 7: mentioned this before. I think teams are more like going,

1097
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 7: we'll take him on the cheap, but we're not giving

1098
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 7: up like a significant player or a huge draft compensation

1099
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 7: to get hold of him right now, because I just

1100
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 7: think he comes with a huge risk, and if he's

1101
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 7: going to keep behaving like this, I think Doc Rivers

1102
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 7: is right to say just okay, just go home. Then,

1103
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 7: I mean, you're only making your own situation worse here.

1104
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 7: So it's a stupid, ugly, dumb whole thing. I thought

1105
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 7: when the suspension first came out, I thought it was

1106
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 7: more just like this is for the whole summer of

1107
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 7: you know the way.

1108
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 4: I thought a lifetime achievement. That's exactly that's.

1109
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: What I thought.

1110
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 7: Maybe he's not quite ready to go there same we're

1111
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 7: just going to suspend you. We're actually just doing this

1112
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 7: because we've got to show the other players that you

1113
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 7: can't behave like that. And then it all came out

1114
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 7: and he was just like, I'm not trying, I'm not playing,

1115
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 7: I'm not going to do defense and do that. Well,

1116
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 7: if you're not go to do anything like that, And

1117
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 7: then Doc Rivers, I think was one hundred percent right

1118
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 7: to say fuck off, then just go don't even boy

1119
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 7: the turning up.

1120
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but wasn't it foolish for the Sixers to think

1121
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: that he wouldn't be a distraction by really sort of

1122
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: forcing him to come back.

1123
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 7: Listen, you're a professional. Okay, you're a professional getting paid

1124
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 7: one hundred and fifty million dollars. Still they owe you,

1125
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 7: like you can put these things behind. This is not

1126
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 7: the first time a franchise and a star player has

1127
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 7: fallen out and not been not a go on. Remember

1128
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 7: when Jimmy Butler. The report was he came back and said,

1129
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 7: come here, third stringers, I'm going to go and kick

1130
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 7: the ass of the first stringers. Well, that, in some way,

1131
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 7: I think appeal to some teams, you know, like Philadelphia

1132
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 7: and like Miami, whether like we just want to ball,

1133
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 7: we want to go. Who's going to go at that

1134
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 7: and play his way out? Not a guy who's just

1135
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 7: going to be like, I'm not doing anything.

1136
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: He's killed exactly.

1137
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 7: I still expect a quality team to come in with

1138
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 7: a big offer and have me plunk straight into their team,

1139
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 7: starting straight away on a championship contender.

1140
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 4: And I'll say this.

1141
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 7: One last time before I move on. You've got to

1142
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 7: look around that locker room and say, Joel embiid runner

1143
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 7: up MVP last season, You're on a team with a

1144
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 7: roster that's basically been built to cover up your offensive

1145
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 7: deficiency and deficiencies. You want to just walk away from

1146
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 7: that to go to a team where it's like we're

1147
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 7: gonna have to start all over again and maybe not

1148
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 7: even make the playoffs. Be careful what you wish for here, Benny,

1149
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 7: because you might just get it. And I really think

1150
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 7: that's got deadly horrible, horrible advice around him. He's inner circle.

1151
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 7: Someone is giving him terrible advice. I think someone needs.

1152
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 7: I think you need to go and say listen, you

1153
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 7: just you're you're if you're Rich Paul right now as well,

1154
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 7: I'm saying listen, rich Rich is going I'm not getting

1155
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 7: paid either, by the way, and you're making things worse

1156
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 7: for everybody. Just get out there and show them that

1157
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 7: you are so good that this team can't win without you.

1158
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 7: Like Jimmy Butler said, you motherfuckers can't win without.

1159
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: Well say that instead.

1160
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 7: It's like, oh my god, this is a terrible situation.

1161
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, but isn't it next level thinking to really really

1162
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 8: stink it up so that the team that trades for

1163
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 8: you doesn't have to trade a lot air you go

1164
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 8: to a better team. The worse he plays, the lower

1165
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 8: the package gets. But I mean, the seventy six ers

1166
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 8: absolutely have to trade him because skeets. When I saw

1167
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 8: the document, the document today for what we're going to

1168
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 8: be talking about, I saw that Ben Simmons was suspended

1169
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 8: after he spat in practice, and I didn't blink at all.

1170
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, Ben Simmons spat doc rivers, No

1171
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 8: that's not what happened, but it seems believable at this point,

1172
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 8: like any sort of drama between the Sixers and Ben Simmons,

1173
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 8: Like I will believe it.

1174
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: At this point.

1175
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 8: And I mean, this is not an ad but kind

1176
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 8: of an ad. Shout out to the Athletics social media department.

1179
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 8: hilarious graphics yesterday, like this recreation of what actually went

1180
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 8: down in practice not spitting doc rivers, Ben, get in

1181
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 8: and take the spot. No, all right, go home, or

1182
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 8: this quote board that they made a little bit later,

1183
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 8: which I do believe.

1184
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 4: Is going to become a useful meme around the NBA

1185
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 4: twitter sphere.

1186
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 8: Just a straight up no from Ben Simmons's.

1187
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 7: Me about the new not today. I don't think so

1188
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 7: you know that old guy?

1189
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 6: No?

1190
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, Like unsolved mystery?

1191
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 7: Is that what it is?

1192
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 8: Yet?

1193
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 3: Wait?

1194
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: Do I know what you're talking about?

1195
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 7: Lee?

1196
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 4: No?

1197
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, tasks. I don't know. If you saw Sham's article

1198
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: at The Athletic, he had some more details on what

1199
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: went down. I guess Ben Simmons has been entering the

1200
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: facility and just ignores most of the seventy six staffers.

1201
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: And also this is a quote from Shams. Each day

1202
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: Simmons trains by himself on his own side of the

1203
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: basketball court, shooting jumpers and free throws with rebounders, so

1204
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: he gets a sweat, just as if he's like just

1205
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: going one on one in the gym, even though it's

1206
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: a team practice going on. But anything to add to

1207
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: this to I mean, what is the move? What's the

1208
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: move from the Sixers here now? Because in Sham's article

1209
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: they say he says they're not trading them for nothing,

1210
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,359
Speaker 1: so they're going to wait until teams start the season. Uh,

1211
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: oh they disappoint, Oh there's a big injury to some

1212
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: team that want to make the playoffs or something, and

1213
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: then they're a little more desperate to maybe call the

1214
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: Sixers and make a move for Ben Simmons, and that

1215
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: they're just gonna wait until a month or so in here,

1216
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: possibly maybe even the deadline for all we know. So

1217
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: what do you do? Do you try and have them

1218
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: around the team, you continue to do this Sharat or Chara,

1219
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: excuse me? Or do you just send them home?

1220
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 3: Well, the first thing you do is keep things internal.

1221
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 3: The fact that everything is getting out to Sham's and

1222
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 3: to everyone else is horrendous because one great line, this

1223
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,479
Speaker 3: is funny, but it's unfunny. But it's funny from Sham's articles,

1224
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 3: it's not funny for the Sixers quote on Sunday and Monday,

1225
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 3: he completed less than a handful of total defensive drills

1226
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: at practice. Nothing more, nothing less.

1227
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 2: Less than a handful. How dare he?

1228
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 3: If he completed a full handful, he'd be cool, but

1229
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 3: less than a handful. I think why it's hilarious that

1230
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 3: everything is coming out is that to me, it reminds

1231
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 3: me of Anthony Davis in twenty nineteen. There was a

1232
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 3: lot of cringeworthy moments before he got traded from the Pelicans.

1233
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: Adam Silver had to step in and say, this guy's

1234
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 3: got a play. You can't just sit him out because

1235
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to play. So they were sitting him

1236
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 3: out again. Commissioner comes in and then he played, and

1237
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 3: he was playing twenty minutes a game. And if you

1238
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 3: thought he wasn't going after it last night, go back

1239
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 3: to that tape in twenty nineteen. It was a month

1240
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 3: of him half asking it during games and sitting out

1241
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 3: a lot of them. Actually, he'd play a few games

1242
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 3: twenty minutes per a superstar. They were just putting him

1243
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 3: out there because they had to. They he'd sit a game,

1244
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 3: they'd put him out. So this was a month full

1245
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 3: of cringeworthy moments, But there wasn't all this practice reporting

1246
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 3: and all that happening. Now, if Ben Simmons had come

1247
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 3: there and half asked it in practice and we weren't

1248
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 3: hearing about it, then it would be far more palatable

1249
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 3: to us. We wouldn't be up in arms over this

1250
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 3: whole thing. It would just be waiting until Ben Simmons

1251
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 3: was traded. But at this point it's cringe worthy reading

1252
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 3: about it, and I think somebody is still going to

1253
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 3: give up a good package for him because he's twenty five.

1254
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 3: He's not Anthony Davis level type superstar. But you know

1255
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis in the package that he got, or the

1256
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 3: Lakers were able to or I'm sorry, the Pelicans were

1257
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,720
Speaker 3: able to attain with a monster package there of Ingram

1258
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 3: and Ball and Hart and picks. Yeah, that's not what

1259
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 3: the Sixers are going to get. But at the same time,

1260
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: Simmons is twenty five and I think they still will

1261
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 3: get a good package, and I think the advice is

1262
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 3: keep it in how Bence Simmons will play in the games.

1263
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 3: He'll play it at least as hard as Anthony Davis did.

1264
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 3: I don't think you could play less hard than Anthony

1265
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 3: Davis did for our role fricking month, and the Lakers

1266
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 3: were still willing to give up.

1267
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with that, though. The Pelicans were not

1268
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: trying to win a championship and had you know, no,

1269
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: no one was picking them to go that far in

1270
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: a Western conference. The Sixers with Embiid playing at an

1271
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: MVP level with a good team around him, and obviously

1272
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, a somewhat new coach in Doc Rivers there

1273
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: being in the second year, like they have plans to

1274
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: challenge for a championship. So it's that situation is different.

1275
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: It's like, who really cares when you were in New

1276
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: Orleans back there in twenty nineteen. But this is my

1277
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: this is what I get to like, you got to

1278
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: send this home, you got to get this out of here,

1279
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: Like this is ridiculous. This will have an impact on

1280
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the team. How can it not? So

1281
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: if he's going to continue to do this and sulk

1282
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: and be a baby about it. Then you know, get

1283
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: up then, don't be the babysitter like Dwell and Bizza

1284
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: and just say go home. Man, we don't want you here.

1285
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: We'll try and trade you, we'll keep kicking calls everybody, Like, Also,

1286
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: what's Ben Simmons going to show us in these next

1287
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:49,479
Speaker 1: couple of games where we're gonna be like, oh wow,

1288
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: oh he's really gotten better, Like he's we know what

1289
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: type of player he is, we know his limitations and that,

1290
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: and a team knows that. Every team knows that in

1291
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: the league. And he's not helping his case here by

1292
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: being this little pet little child with the whole thing.

1293
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Sixers are helping themselves either

1294
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 1: here with trying to like force him to be around

1295
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: when he doesn't want to be there. But I think

1296
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: that's he's under contract, You're right, I mean, so they

1297
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: can say, well, you know, we want.

1298
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 7: You know, the old saying winning souls everything. You know,

1299
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 7: they want him out there because he can be a

1300
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 7: good player and affect their winning. And if they start winning,

1301
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, maybe the mood start to improve,

1302
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 7: but also his value improves and I think that's the

1303
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 7: big difference here with Anthony Davis. He was frustrated that

1304
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 7: he wasn't being able to be surrounded by talent that

1305
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 7: could take the Pelicans far into the playoffs. Well, the

1306
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,959
Speaker 7: Sixers should have made the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

1307
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 7: We were down there for Game three. Simmons was awesome

1308
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 7: in that game. He didn't have a huge stat line,

1309
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 7: but it looked like the Sixers were going to get

1310
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 7: past the old Hawks in there, the old douchebag sweep.

1311
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 7: But it didn't happen. So, you know, this is the

1312
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 7: big difference to Anthony Davis. After what seven years in

1313
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 7: New Orleans. I think he made the playoffs once and

1314
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 7: he was like, I just don't think this team is

1315
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 7: being built to contend.

1316
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: Well.

1317
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 7: Simmons is on a contender. He's got the talent. He's

1318
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 7: been there, they've given him the contract, they've done everything

1319
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 7: they can to try to get him close. So yeah,

1320
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 7: you know, and I understand again. You know, he got

1321
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 7: pissed off that he felt that Rivers and embiid threw

1322
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 7: him under the bus. Okay, move on, though you didn't

1323
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 7: put you didn't perform in the fourth quarters, you haven't

1324
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 7: done that at all. In your career so far, in

1325
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 7: terms of shooting the ball, you haven't shown that development

1326
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 7: and improvement. So some blame on them, but you've also

1327
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 7: got to look at yourself in the mirror and say

1328
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 7: I need to be better, and he said he was

1329
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 7: going to be. Let's say it out on the court.

1330
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: I guess this is where I disagree with Aj Santiago

1331
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: here in the stream team they want Ben Simmons to

1332
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: play to remind teams of his value. My point is

1333
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: they don't need to. I really don't think they need to.

1334
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: I think all Darryl Moury is hoping and waiting for

1335
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: is the start of the season when everybody's oh and oh,

1336
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: and everybody has plans to make the playoffs, and then

1337
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: shit goes wrong for teams and suddenly they start to

1338
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: panic and say, uh, oh, okay, let's go get Ben Simmons,

1339
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: let's shake things up. Let's get more start you know,

1340
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: talent in here and maybe make a run for it

1341
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: and build for the future with a young guy that's

1342
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: under contract. That's the other part, that's the other difference

1343
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: from Anthony Davis. Actually the situation two that he's locked

1344
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: up for so long so I just don't think they

1345
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: need to do that. And if he's gonna sulk like this,

1346
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: I think it's more of a detriment than just not

1347
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: having him out there personally well and just waiting for

1348
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: teams to start like garbage. Yeah, go ahead.

1349
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

1350
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 4: Though.

1351
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 8: It's such a huge bet for the seventy six ers too,

1352
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 8: that like, not only do they have to hope that

1353
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 8: things go poorly for other teams, they have to go

1354
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 8: worse for other teams than they are for the Sixers

1355
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 8: right now. And that's like, are you sure that that's

1356
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 8: gonna happen? Like we're seeing what's happening with Ben Simmons here.

1357
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 8: They're gonna be asked about what's going on with Ben

1358
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 8: Simmons all the time until he's either traded or takes

1359
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 8: the court, And it definitely doesn't feel like he's gonna

1360
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 8: take the court. But task I got bad news. It

1361
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 8: feels like we're never gonna get away from leaks of

1362
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 8: the Ben Simmons situation, cause video of Doc asking Ben

1363
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 8: to go on to the court actually just came out

1364
01:00:47,720 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 8: and we attend it. He said, you got to work throws.

1365
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 8: He's trying guys, he's out here getting those shots up.

1366
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 8: He can't go in and play defense.

1367
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: He's already good at that.

1368
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 2: Are a faucet, everything can All.

1369
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Right, let's move on from Ben here. In other NBA drama,

1370
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: high powered agent who represents the Kings forward Marvin Bagley

1371
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: blasted the team on Twitter yesterday. All right, buckle up

1372
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 1: for this one. Didn't want to do a Twitter thread,

1373
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 1: just wanted to do an image with all the words

1374
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: on it. Okay, it reads Sacramento has informed Marvin Bagley

1375
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: he is not in the opening night rotation, which is

1376
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 1: completely baffling. This is Jeff Schwartz, Begley's agent, and he

1377
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: said this in a statement. It's clear they have no

1378
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: plans for him in the future, and yet passed on

1379
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: potential deals at last year's deadline and this summer based

1380
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: on value. Instead, they chose to bring them back but

1381
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: not play them, a move completely contradictory to their value argument.

1382
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: This is a case study in miss management by the

1383
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: King's organization. Yeah, you know, I just I thought that

1384
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: was going up while I was reading it, But there

1385
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: it is. I won't read it again for everybody on YouTube.

1386
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: I think is taking a shit somewhere I saw it.

1387
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: He was suddenly gone. But anyway, Marvin Bagley's agent blasting

1388
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: the Kings after he's gonna be left out of the rotation.

1389
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: Does Bagley's agent have a point here, Tray, what's what's

1390
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: your take?

1391
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 4: Well, his agent does have a point.

1392
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 8: Marvin Bagley's tenure on the Sacramento Kings is going to

1393
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 8: be a long chapter in the long history of mismanagement

1394
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 8: by the King's franchise. But honestly, it starts on draft

1395
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 8: night when they had an international Hall of Famer as

1396
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 8: their GM and an international once in the generation talent

1397
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 8: ready to.

1398
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 4: Be drafted right there. And I do think that this

1399
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 4: is part of it.

1400
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 8: Like the Luca and Trey success, it puts a weird

1401
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 8: light on guys like DeAndre Ayton and Marvin Bagley, Like

1402
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 8: maybe it feels weird to these teams, the Kings and

1403
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 8: the Sons, to want to give a MAX extension to

1404
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 8: a not MAX player like those guys are that they

1405
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 8: could have had. Nonetheless, it is very strange. Marvin Bagley

1406
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 8: has played three thousand minutes in his NBA career. That's

1407
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 8: like one season for the top players out there, So yeah,

1408
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 8: he should get more minutes. A lot of it was

1409
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 8: he only played a few, you know, a handful of

1410
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 8: games his second season, didn't get a ton of minutes.

1411
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 8: But he's not doing things to earn more minutes. He's

1412
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 8: not a defensive presence out there, and the King's defense

1413
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 8: is the league's worst, and his offense on the other

1414
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 8: end of the court isn't good enough to make you

1415
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 8: want to play him extra minutes there as you're four

1416
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 8: or you're five, So he's kind of caught in a

1417
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 8: weird spot. It's like, if you're seven feet tall and

1418
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 8: a plus athlete, which Marvin Bagley is, you shouldn't shoot

1419
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 8: fifty percent. If you're shooting every single shot inside eight feet,

1420
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 8: you should probably shoot sixty percent. You should have some

1421
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 8: sort of physical presence at the rim or out on

1422
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 8: the perimeter defending. But he's just kind of drift through games.

1423
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 8: So yeah, maybe the King should give him more minutes,

1424
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 8: but also Marvin Bagley should earn more minutes. That being said,

1425
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 8: I love an angry agent email coming through like this.

1426
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 8: The last one I can remember was Matist Thibel's agents

1427
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 8: getting very mad that the assistant coaches left him off the.

1428
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 4: Rookie sophomore game. This is similar to that.

1429
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 8: But you never want to hear that number two draft

1430
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 8: pick is out of the rotation before the season even starts.

1431
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 4: What a bad start to the King season.

1432
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, tess, what do you think about Jeff Schwartz here?

1433
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: And is the way he's handling this by just putting

1434
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: the kings on full blasts and you could have traded him,

1435
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: but you wanted value. And now you're not even go

1436
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: to play him in the rotation. What's going on? Make

1437
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: up your mind? I think is what he's.

1438
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 3: Saying right, And I agree from a practical standpoint, How

1439
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 3: the heck is Marvin Bagley not playing in this rotation?

1440
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 3: Who is playing over him? I get that he is

1441
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 3: not a defensive presence. They were by far the thirtieth

1442
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 3: best defense in the league last year. Did a problem

1443
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 3: for him and getting minutes. But at the same time,

1444
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 3: this is his contract year. He is going to play

1445
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 3: as best as he has ever played. And last year

1446
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 3: he was decent enough to come off the bench. And

1447
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 3: I go back to the rotation, who's taking his minutes

1448
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 3: even as a bench player. I don't know their bigs

1449
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 3: are Alex Len, Damian Jones, Rashaun Holmes starting Chimezi Metu.

1450
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 3: Tristan Thompson is there. You know, he's way past his prime,

1451
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 3: and those are the bigs more heartless.

1452
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 2: I guess could be taking his minutes.

1453
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 3: That it's totally I get it from a Bractale's standpoint.

1454
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 3: Jess Swartz is right mismanagement. I think Marvin Bagley should

1455
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 3: be playing and seeing if he could add something defensively

1456
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 3: to his game. Again, because this is this is Bagley's

1457
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 3: career right here. Of course he's going to play past

1458
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 3: this season, but this is a contract year for him.

1459
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't think Josh Schwartz expected him to be a

1460
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 3: MAX guy by any means. They didn't extend him. But

1461
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 3: Josh Schwartz expects some minutes. But is this the right

1462
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 3: way to go about it. I don't think so. I mean,

1463
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 3: maybe he's been wrong timing time again and again and again.

1464
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 2: I guess by the.

1465
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 3: Kings front office, we've had Marvin Bagley this second, Marvin

1466
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 3: Bagley's dad speak out about Marvin Bagley's minutes before.

1467
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 2: But it doesn't seem right to me.

1468
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 3: It feels like even the Matisse s Thaibel incident that

1469
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 3: Trey brought up, that was a tweet and that wasn't

1470
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 3: a formal letter written by an agent. It seems like

1471
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 3: bad form to me. I mean, that's just it's not

1472
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 3: my game. I don't really understand it. I don't really

1473
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 3: get it. I can understand him being pissed, but I

1474
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 3: would expect a one to one conversation with Luke Walton

1475
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 3: or whoever to try and get him in the rotation

1476
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 3: or trying to understand it would be more important. But

1477
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 3: maybe he's past that point. I don't get I don't

1478
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 3: know why he's not playing really when it comes down

1479
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 3: to it, even if he's not a good defensive player,

1480
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 3: even if he struggles on that end.

1481
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: Lay anything to add here to the Bagman situation.

1482
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 7: Actually, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,

1483
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 7: hold on.

1484
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: No year, he's not I know, I still have I

1485
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: still have faith in Marvin Bagley gonna be a decent

1486
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: enough player in this league.

1487
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 2: Uh, he must have.

1488
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Like Jeff Schwartz, his agent was told from the Kings

1489
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: he's not playing right. Otherwise you don't send this, uh

1490
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, pretty scathing tweet here, or at least a

1491
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: photo of all the words that you want to say

1492
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: in your tweet that you don't want to do a

1493
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: thread with Lee. So he's been told like we're going small.

1494
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: We got the bigs that we like, I guess Holmes

1495
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: and Tristan Thompson and Mitto. Like he said, it's like

1496
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: it's a little weird. Uh, seems a strange way to

1497
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: go about maybe trying to build the value of a

1498
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: guy like Trey said that barely has ever played. But

1499
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: you got nothing to add Lelely, you think he's just

1500
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: what eventually will be moved here.

1501
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 7: He must be, Yeah, yeah, he has to be. But

1502
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 7: the Kings, I remember, took the safe option. Don't try,

1503
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 7: don't drop Luca just in case it doesn't work out.

1504
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 7: Take bag. He's a sure bit.

1505
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1506
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 7: Rough, Look, I think I definitely think a new situation.

1507
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 7: You coach all those sort of cliche things. Get him

1508
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 7: into the right system, and I think he can be

1509
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 7: effective play because he can stretch the floor. Is a

1510
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 7: big guy, but it's just not there in Sacramento. So

1511
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 7: the quicker he gets out of there, the better for him.

1512
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Smooth move by Jeff Schwartz, though, to not demand a

1513
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,839
Speaker 1: trade like he did. Stop short there.

1514
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 7: So tell me you're demanding a trade.

1515
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, he may not get fired. I don't know we'll

1516
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: still get fired for that. I don't think he doesn't

1517
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: see me. He's just like, why aren't you playing me?

1518
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: And why didn't you trade me? If you're not going

1519
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: to play me? We'll see final little thing here. We

1520
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: still have tweet of the night and we got pick

1521
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: them and all that. The first twenty five members of

1522
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,839
Speaker 1: the NBA's seventy fifth anniversary team have officially been revealed.

1523
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I am not going to read all twenty five names.

1524
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: If you're on YouTube, you're seeing them here in a

1525
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 1: very very slick graphic from the NBA and NBA dot

1526
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: Com the day one reveal twenty five names there. I

1527
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: just have some thoughts on how they're going about rolling

1528
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: this out. I find it very weird. So we got

1529
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: twenty five last night. There's gonna be twenty five more

1530
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: this afternoon on ESPN at three o'clock, I believe on

1531
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: Melika Andrews New Show If I'm a Guessing Man, and

1532
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: then twenty five more on Thursday night before the doubleheader

1533
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: on TNT. But even last night Tasks, they're listing five

1534
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 1: names at a time over the length of the ninety

1535
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: minute broadcast. It was so weird. It was like here's

1536
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,560
Speaker 1: a graphic with five names on it. There's absolutely no

1537
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: rhyme or reason of the names, like the order that

1538
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: we're getting these from what I could tell, you know,

1539
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: it's not alphabetical. It's not like broken into different eras.

1540
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: It's not by night, it's not by jersey numbers. It's

1541
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: like just they just are like, here you go, here's five.

1542
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 4: Gonna hit you with a Hal Grier right off the top.

1543
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, out of their face right number one. He's the goat.

1544
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: I just don't get how they're going about this. The

1545
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 1: only thing I can think of is that T and

1546
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: T and ESPN were like fighting over who was going

1547
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: to get to announce these and then they were like,

1548
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: well drop both got to get a part of it. Yeah,

1549
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: And so they came up with this because the last

1550
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: thing we need on opening night of the NBA season

1551
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: is this.

1552
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:24,760
Speaker 5: Now.

1553
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: I get it's the seventy fifth season. I get that

1554
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: ties in nicely, but like, to me, this screams lee

1555
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: like a ninety minute special where we can actually like

1556
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: show some love to some of these guys. That was

1557
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: the other thing. They're photos there, you know, no video

1558
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: of any of these guys. No like accolades, like you

1559
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: know x amount of All Star selections and all this,

1560
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: like that's all on their website and that's fine and Danny,

1561
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: but like, come on, like we're trying to celebrate the

1562
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: game here to especially maybe a younger audience, and it

1563
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,560
Speaker 1: was like it was like a who cares. It was

1564
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: sort of it's really weird to me how they went

1565
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: about this. I was a little disappointed, if I'm being honest.

1566
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 7: Actually think they watch our show and thought, you know,

1567
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 7: what's one of the best segments they do, Hey, what

1568
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 7: about this guy? I think that's the sort of a hart,

1569
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 7: you know, because they didn't want to name you know,

1570
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 7: this is the number one, this is number ten or whatever,

1571
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 7: and so instead it was like, let's just name some

1572
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,799
Speaker 7: guys and they're all top seventy five, and it actually

1573
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 7: is like then people can't say, oh, you should have

1574
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 7: been higher, you should have been lower.

1575
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 9: Okay, that's fine, but like, mai name them all at once,

1576
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 9: or at least named the first twenty five once. If

1577
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 9: you watch the broadcast, I swear to got it was like,

1578
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 9: here's five guys, and then you know, Chuck and Ernie

1579
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 9: in the gang are talking about something else and then hey,

1580
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 9: back from cords will break. Here's another five guys, and

1581
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 9: like then we went to the Bucks ceremony, which took

1582
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 9: like thirty minutes.

1583
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Nora like she's like, how many have

1584
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: they named? I'm like, I think there's ten to go.

1585
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,520
Speaker 1: And it was like five minutes left on the podcast,

1586
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: like they just snuck.

1587
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 3: Them in there.

1588
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: I just feels it feels so lame to me, this

1589
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: the rollout, the decision to do this this way. In fact,

1590
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: I would almost prefer they just saved it to All

1591
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: Star week.

1592
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 3: See, aren't they gonna have guys come out on All

1593
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 3: Star Weekend?

1594
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1595
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I think so, but maybe try and kept it a

1596
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: surprise and do it that way, Like this is this

1597
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: is weird, And I know, I guess by the end

1598
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: of Thursday night, maybe on Friday morning we're debating, like, oh,

1599
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: can you believe so and so is left off the

1600
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: list and that's when the debates kick off. But yeah,

1601
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: I just thought it was I think it's disrespectful in

1602
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: a weird way that they get no shine, they get

1603
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 1: no like to again someone that doesn't know how greer, Well,

1604
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: why don't you tell us about them a little bit?

1605
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: Like a tiny, tiny bit.

1606
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if this is accurate information, but

1607
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 3: I'll give you something about how Greer from the stream

1608
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 3: team perfect timing for how grew.

1609
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,919
Speaker 2: They just unveiled his statue at Marshall University.

1610
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know that nugget.

1611
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks mint Prozac. Well, I'll say a few things.

1612
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 3: I guess they believe All Star Weekend is their celebration

1613
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 3: of the seventy five names. So maybe they're just waiting

1614
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 3: until the Okay, so yes, and maybe maybe you'll see

1615
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 3: you know exactly what you said, celebrating the game, celebrating

1616
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 3: these guys will understand them a little bit more. But

1617
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 3: I am surprised that they're doing this this way, that

1618
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 3: they're waiting three days. Are you listening, Jeremy Levin? Are

1619
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 3: you listening? Why they're waiting three days to make this happen?

1620
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 3: Because they lean into not the rankings. I agree that

1621
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 3: they shouldn't be ranking them, but they lean into the

1622
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 3: debate the NBA. I think is okay with unveiling the

1623
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 3: seventy five names and having the debates happen. You don't

1624
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:28,240
Speaker 3: listen the alphabetically, as you said, and then let the

1625
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,240
Speaker 3: debates roll. But over doing it over three days. The

1626
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 3: other the debates are absolutely eliminated. They're gone, So it

1627
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 3: doesn't really make sense why you would, Yeah, take the

1628
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 3: steam out of it, as you're saying, Skeets, I agree

1629
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 3: that you can. If the celebration is later on, I

1630
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 3: get it. But yeah, you know, make it a fifteen

1631
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 3: minute part of the show and make it happen. I

1632
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 3: agree with that part.

1633
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean they want debate because if you go

1634
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: to NBA dot com slash seventy five, where you can

1635
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: see the first twenty five names and again you can

1636
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: click on each name and it takes you to their

1637
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: individual page and there's photos, and there's their accolades and

1638
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: a write up. That's great. It says right there on

1639
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: that page task agree, disagree, let's hear it. And then

1640
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: it's got like all the NBA like social media channels.

1641
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: So of course they want us to eventually be debating

1642
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,560
Speaker 1: player X, making it overplayer Y.

1643
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 4: It's just this.

1644
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:26,600
Speaker 1: Strange, slow, just deflating rollout in my opinion, Trey, I

1645
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:27,759
Speaker 1: don't know if you agree or disagree.

1646
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it's I don't know, it's just weird.

1647
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 8: It's just weird to do twenty five at a time,

1648
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 8: and then you'll be like, I'm gonna get angry in

1649
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 8: two days.

1650
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically, right, that's exactly what it is.

1651
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 8: Or I'm gonna look at the name on the list

1652
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 8: of twenty five and pick that out as the one

1653
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 8: I want to debate, despite the fact that I have

1654
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 8: no idea what Jerry Lucas was doing way back when.

1655
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 4: So I don't know. I guess.

1656
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,560
Speaker 8: I guess it gives us three days to talk about it.

1657
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 8: That's probably the difference, right, that's what they want to

1658
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 8: do is talk about it for three days rather than

1659
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 8: seventy five minutes on one day. I don't know, it's weird,

1660
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 8: it's I don't know. I would have liked to see

1661
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 8: it at a halftime of the All Star Game too.

1662
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 8: That would have been the most exciting way to do it,

1663
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 8: bring everybody out, but that's also probably not realistic to

1664
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 8: introduce seventy five or sixty five. However, you're still living

1665
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 8: players at halftime of an All Star Game, so I

1666
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 8: don't know. Once you've got that much history, there's a

1667
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,679
Speaker 8: lot of history to it, so it takes a little

1668
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 8: bit of time.

1669
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 4: I suppose you got to.

1670
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 3: Take it the rings off the Stanley Cup. You just

1671
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 3: you can't have all the teams on there.

1672
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 1: As for the actual first twenty five names, you know,

1673
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 1: you said, Jerry Lucas, Dave Collins is there as well.

1674
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Some people are a little surprised maybe by them still

1675
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 1: being in the mix, which I think means there are

1676
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of current snubs, if you

1677
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,800
Speaker 1: want to call them current snubs, you know, a more

1678
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,120
Speaker 1: recent sort of a hall of famers lea. And that

1679
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: just goes back to our debate about how they decided

1680
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: to do this list too, Like it wasn't we got

1681
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: the fifty greatest players of all time, let's add twenty

1682
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,759
Speaker 1: five more. They told people that were actually voting on this, Nope,

1683
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,560
Speaker 1: pretend that list doesn't exist and just go with the

1684
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: streets seventy five. But if you heard Chuck and Ernie,

1685
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: who had votes and are part of this panel last

1686
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 1: night on the broadcast, they were like, that's weird to them,

1687
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 1: and we talked about it like that is a little strange,

1688
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Like you got to like start removing guys, And I

1689
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: think there's just going to be so many that were

1690
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: on the original fifty that are going to be on

1691
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 1: a lot of people seventy five because I think people

1692
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: also feel bad when they went to making their list,

1693
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: so that means there's gonna be a ton of snubs.

1694
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 7: I think, Yeah, I think you can only insult those

1695
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 7: players who no longer make the top seventy five. And

1696
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 7: I think you just didn't need to do that because

1697
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 7: you always want to remember that the players that came

1698
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 7: before you. And that's the thing. I don't think anyone

1699
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 7: who makes that next list would say, oh, yeah, I

1700
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:41,719
Speaker 7: was way better than a guy I never saw before.

1701
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 7: You always want to show respect and say, oh, that

1702
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 7: guy was first and he earned his spot, and now

1703
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,560
Speaker 7: I've earned my spot. So yeah, that definitely was a

1704
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,639
Speaker 7: weird thing to do. And yeah, I'm interested to see

1705
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 7: who the biggest guy, not the biggest snub, but who

1706
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,759
Speaker 7: the biggest guy who just gets cut from that top fifty,

1707
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,640
Speaker 7: because it's gonna be it's Yeah, that's probably going to

1708
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 7: generate more talking points than you know, the guys who

1709
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 7: didn't make it from the current crop, because they've figured

1710
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 7: they've still got time to make it. Although I guess

1711
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 7: in twenty five years they'll probably say, right, throw that

1712
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 7: seventy five with a brand.

1713
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 1: On top one hundred. Yeah, I can't wait for that.

1714
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: I hope there's a clerical error and like they forget

1715
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. That will cause some debate.

1716
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 2: Sorry.

1717
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like going when going to the All Star

1718
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 3: of Voting ballot when you vote and you screw up

1719
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 3: and you vote for Seth.

1720
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 2: Curry, Jordan, Poole's gonna be Yeah, Michael B.

1721
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 3: Jordan will be on there. It's uh, it's one of

1722
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 3: those things I know that they're putting it on the website, like, hey,

1723
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 3: let's debate this. But maybe they are trying to limit

1724
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 3: the the hate at Jerry Lucas and and Hal Greer

1725
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 3: and the Gut and Bob Pettitt and and those guys

1726
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 3: who who deservedly were on the top fifty and even

1727
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 3: Dave Cowens, as you said, they're skeets. So maybe maybe

1728
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 3: that's how they're kind of diffusing it here, because yeah,

1729
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna die out, the hate and the vitriol and

1730
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 3: the even just the debate period over three days, it's

1731
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 3: gonna die out. It's gonna fizzle out. And so maybe

1732
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 3: they just don't want it that way. But then why

1733
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 3: not just add twenty five entirely? You guys, yeah, and

1734
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 3: you did a great job. If people haven't watched go Back,

1735
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 3: Skeets dropped his Top seventy five in the offseason not

1736
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 3: long ago, a couple of weeks ago, and you should

1737
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 3: go check out that show, because I do think you know,

1738
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 3: you dropped a couple of these legends to make your

1739
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 3: new seventy five.

1740
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I didn't. I was I was

1741
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: just adding twenty five new locks.

1742
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 3: Oh right, right right.

1743
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: I thought some of these guys that are on the

1744
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: top fifty will ultimately not be on the top seventy five.

1745
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: I do agree with that. I think there will be

1746
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: a few emissions as well as guys that didn't make

1747
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: the top fifty, like Dominique Wilkins. I think for sure

1748
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 1: he's going to be included over the next couple of days.

1749
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, my whole thing was like twenty five like

1750
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 1: quote unquote current players that are gonna be new locks

1751
01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: that weren't on the top. But go check that out.

1752
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 4: A few you guys who made it. I think I

1753
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 4: think this is right.

1754
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 8: Only five on the first list Jannis, Kevin Durant, James Harden,

1755
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 8: Steve Nash, and Dirk Novitski. So I mean that's five. Yeah,

1756
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:14,440
Speaker 8: if you math it out, that's going to be fifteen,

1757
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:18,759
Speaker 8: you know, new players for a lack of a better word.

1758
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 8: So is that what they're gonna do? You think it's

1759
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 8: going to be this low? I mean, fifteen sort of

1760
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 8: modern players than maybe another ten Dominique Wilkins, Bob McAdoo

1761
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 8: sorts who should have maybe made the list the first time.

1762
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: We'll see can't wait to find out the next twenty

1763
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: five today at three pm ESPN.

1764
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 3: I love how they kept some black and white photos,

1765
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 3: though they didn't try and modernize.

1766
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: I still think they had colored photos for some of

1767
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: these guys. George is that Lee Ellis or George Biken.

1768
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 7: We saw some call of three D foot or HD

1769
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 7: footage of Will Changlin the other day, Gone Around.

1770
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: Shot George mil I was showing Lee doing his best Jordan.

1771
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 1: I think that's what he's doing. This looks like the

1772
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: loading screen for the worst video game of all Okay,

1773
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: awesome stuff. Well, uh, you know, let me know if

1774
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with my thoughts on how they're

1775
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: doing this. Maybe you were a fan of it five

1776
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: at a time, so you could sort of like take

1777
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: it in and uh, you know, digest it a little

1778
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: bit better than seventy five names coming at you. I

1779
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 1: just think it's weird. I thought it was very strange

1780
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm I get that, I'm way in. I'm

1781
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: into this way more than probably most people. Is the

1782
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: other part. They're probably looking at it. The producers like

1783
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: nobody cares. There's like eight people out there that care,

1784
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 1: and them are on the same show.

1785
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, well you got Nora, you wrote Nora into it.

1786
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 2: How many have they reveal like I thought it.

1787
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 1: Was gonna be I have. I thought it was going

1788
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more of a like, hey,

1789
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: this is pretty cool seventy fifth anniversary here, at least

1790
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: the first twenty five names, and I thought they were

1791
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna be an alphabetical and all that. So maybe it

1792
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: was just naive of me to think. I just thought

1793
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: it was gonna be more of like an event task

1794
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'll tell Lenor, like, this could

1795
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: be pretty cool, and it was not cool.

1796
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 3: Well that's why that's why I think they are saving

1797
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:25,600
Speaker 3: it for a cool evening in Cleveland in February.

1798
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: We'll be seeing I wish they just saved it then

1799
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:28,719
Speaker 1: at that point.

1800
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 2: Right right, Well, maybe you'll be there.

1801
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:32,759
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe you can read.

1802
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: That I'll be in the top seventy five. Amazing. All right,

1803
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 1: we got still tweeted the night. We got pick the

1804
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: results and our new picks for tonight. But first a

1805
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: quick break to hear from much sponsors a few things

1806
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: CLB certified lover boys. Howere you're going?

1807
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1808
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 7: Okay?

1809
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: Dave also wanted to hear Dave in the stream Team

1810
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,839
Speaker 1: Halloween Party. Time for Lead to break the slash melody

1811
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: for the guests. Oh yeah, okay, get out of here.

1812
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah's call back deav fantastic. Okay, we are riding

1813
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: real long here. We were having a blast. Let's get

1814
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: to tweet of the night.

1815
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night. Wow, Twitter, Come.

1816
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: Where do you go?

1817
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah? So I thought it was probably going to

1818
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 7: be a fair bit to choose from last night, but

1819
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 7: this one actually came in fairly early, and it was

1820
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 7: from Dane Moore NBA, who covers the Wolves for Blue

1821
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 7: Wire Pods there, and he just tweeted out something pretty simple.

1822
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 7: Karl Anthony Towns said his pregame ritual to pump him

1823
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 7: up this season is watching two Gorillas death. Now you

1824
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 7: know it's it's a bit of a weird tweet. There's

1825
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 7: a little bit more contact from our own John Kay

1826
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 7: here as well, who says, like, you know, Towns are

1827
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 7: sort of talking about how when you know Gorilla's going

1828
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 7: to the jungle, you know they've got to fight it out.

1829
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 7: One of us has got to leave. And so I

1830
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 7: think that's more what Karl Anthony Towns are saying. He

1831
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 7: knows he's going up against like big strong guys and

1832
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 7: he wants to sort of take that mentality in there.

1833
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 2: So no one's dying on the court. I don't think so.

1834
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 7: I don't think so. But good stuff, good stuff for

1835
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 7: our first tweet of the night.

1836
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Do you have a pregame, a pre show ritual? Lea,

1837
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: are you firing up missus del fire before we jump

1838
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: on here? What are you doing frendo Chino shirts around that?

1839
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 7: Actually, you know what, I have been doing a little

1840
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:33,680
Speaker 7: bit this week. Here's a little this is what they

1841
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 7: call him the bees Teas. I've been doing a little

1842
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 7: bit of reading. Oh yeah, I've got a book by

1843
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 7: Scottie Pippen. Now look, this book is the Advanced Reader's Edition,

1844
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 7: not for sale or quotations, so I'm not going to

1845
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 7: spoil it, but I will say, ooh, it's a space here,

1846
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 7: and I might have some more news about this book

1847
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 7: in a week or so. Stay tune, go, stay tuned.

1848
01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 4: We we are an animal lover, Yes, who likes to

1849
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 4: watch a video of an animal?

1850
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 7: I do?

1851
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:14,879
Speaker 4: Do you watch animal fate videos?

1852
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 7: Yes? Because I like to see like things that are unusual, like,

1853
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 7: for example, crocodiles don't have any predators, but if the

1854
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 7: crocodile's in the wrong place at the wrong time, you know,

1855
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 7: he faces some opponent, Like hippos aren't afraid of crocodiles.

1856
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 7: Crocodiles try to attack those hippos babies. And oh man,

1857
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 7: there's a couple of videos out there of a crock

1858
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 7: just getting destroyed. There's also some videos going round of

1859
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 7: like a cayman, which is a smaller crocodile.

1860
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 2: Chris and a.

1861
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 7: Jaguar jumps into the water. Steve Irwin style lands on

1862
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 7: the cayman with his teeth in his neck to kill

1863
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 7: him and then has to pull him up this like

1864
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 7: muddy slippery slope there to get him out there to

1865
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 7: feed to his kids. Now, funny thing is, I'm just

1866
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 7: not sure, like a you know, reptilian like that a crocodilian,

1867
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:08,680
Speaker 7: I should say, would be all that could eating. I

1868
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 7: think they'd be pretty tough, you know. Yeah, I have

1869
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 7: eaten crocodile. Yeah, I haven't caught it myself and then

1870
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 7: had to like.

1871
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 3: You know, tender raise.

1872
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah. But I just thinking, if you're the

1873
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 7: baby jagguers, you're like on the teeth are still really formed?

1874
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 7: It can't you just bring us back a zebra or

1875
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 7: something like that a little bit easier eating.

1876
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: But anyway, you're not like that tough hide.

1877
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 4: Ah, you don't think that. You don't eat the outside

1878
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 4: of a banana. You don't eat a banana.

1879
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 7: I don't eat that.

1880
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 4: No.

1881
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 7: I know you're supposed to it. You're supposed to be

1882
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:42,839
Speaker 7: full of vitamins, but supposed well, they say that's healthier

1883
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 7: part post.

1884
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: So can we, starting tomorrow, have you over the next

1885
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: three days unless you're a top twenty five most dangerous

1886
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: animals in order, just share five at a time. We'll

1887
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: get to seventy five.

1888
01:25:57,680 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 2: Bye.

1889
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: I guess really all right, that was a great tweet

1890
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: that had a lot of people laughing and sharing videos

1891
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: of animals fighting, which I guess, yeah, for some can

1892
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: can pump you up. And Karl Anthony Towns is gonna

1893
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna try it this season. We're all rooting for him.

1894
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: I hope it works. Trey. Speaking of tweets, you had

1895
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: something for us about something we got into on yesterday's

1896
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: show that the people were commenting on.

1897
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 8: I did, I did skeets, but then we went an

1898
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:30,560
Speaker 8: hour and forty minutes talking about two basketball games, and

1899
01:26:30,720 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 8: I was like, should this just be a big tea zone. Nonetheless,

1900
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:38,040
Speaker 8: we got a great tweet from John Horn after yesterday's

1901
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 8: Beach Step in episode where we got talking about whether

1902
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 8: you would like to see the Knicks play in Madison

1903
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 8: Square Garden or the Nets play in Barclays Center, and

1904
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 8: how that relates to musical acts playing at different venues.

1905
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 8: John tweeted in to us. He said the No Dunks

1906
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 8: team over complicating Nick's MSG versus Nets Barclays was wild.

1907
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 8: Metaphors within metaphors. Tom Petty called Madison Square Garden probably

1908
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 8: the greatest.

1909
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 4: House of rock and roll around.

1910
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 8: Why add other venues to the comparison? He continued to

1911
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 8: Petty at MSG Better outcast at MSG Better, a live

1912
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 8: No Dunks podcast that MSG sold out guaranteed is better.

1913
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 8: So I guess that's your answer. I think it was

1914
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 8: Danny who emailed in asking what he should do. I

1915
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 8: think this is a Valentine's Day game. It was what

1916
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:34,679
Speaker 8: Nicks versus Thunder. That's John's recommendation is to go there.

1917
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: Okay, But I did respond to John on Twitter and

1918
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: I get what he's saying. Look, no one loves Madison Square,

1919
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 1: Gordon Martin, I do. I've talked about it for years

1920
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: on the show. But I said this, and I think

1921
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: this was the metaphor the comparison I should have went with.

1922
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 1: Would you rather go see the WOJE pod, a live

1923
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 1: WOJE pod at Madison Square Garden, or come see a

1924
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 1: live No Dunks pod at the Barclay Center. One is

1925
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: the superior venue, but no offense to who you're not

1926
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: No Dunk's live Baby. Nothing beats that. So that's the

1927
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: better comparison. That's what I was trying to get at with.

1928
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 4: I think that's a perfect comparison.

1929
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and well John said his answer was to

1930
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:22,519
Speaker 1: see WOSHSG. That's the wrong answer.

1931
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 8: On Barclays is designed for audio outfit. It's all about

1932
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 8: the it's not about sidelines. It's about sound lines there.

1933
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 8: But it doesn't stop with John's tweet because I mentioned

1934
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 8: on yesterday's show that I was having a laugh thinking

1935
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 8: about a tribe called Quest performing at Red Rocks with skeets.

1936
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 8: I think was your analogy for the Knicks playing at

1937
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 8: Madison Square Garden. Well, my buddy and college roommate who

1938
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 8: lives in Denver, Big Smooth, texted me immediately after the

1939
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 8: show to say, FYI, I've seen Tribe and Outcast at

1940
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 8: red Rocks.

1941
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 3: Wow.

1942
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 4: I said, how was it?

1943
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 1: He said, fucking awesome.

1944
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 8: Tribe was his wife's first show at Red Rocks, So yeah,

1945
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:03,600
Speaker 8: I guess that's a good place to say it. And

1946
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,880
Speaker 8: then I kept looking at the Internet and various things

1947
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 8: on Instagram, only to discover that Dead and Company is

1948
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 8: playing a two night stand at Red Rocks last night

1949
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 8: and tonight let's go fly out. Yeah, trust me, I

1950
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 8: was a messaging with Larry not too long ago. If

1951
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:22,599
Speaker 8: it hadn't been on the night of the NBA season

1952
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 8: starting and then the second night of the NBA season,

1953
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 8: that would be a great place. And honestly, a band

1954
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 8: that's a little bit past their prime playing at a

1955
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 8: prime location that might be your perfect analogy.

1956
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I knew we would get there. It

1957
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: just took us two shows at an hour forty of

1958
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:39,719
Speaker 1: this one. But that's okay.

1959
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:40,600
Speaker 4: I love it.

1960
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:42,640
Speaker 1: I love we love that engagement. Guy, So tweet at

1961
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: us at No Dunk saying, okay, before we go test

1962
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 1: pick them results, you were the only one to take

1963
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: the nets last night. Unfortunately, got that wrong because the

1964
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: Bucks sort of smacked them around. So that's a win

1965
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:54,640
Speaker 1: for Trey, Lee and myself. You're down one early. But

1966
01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 1: what's our game tonight?

1967
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 2: Here?

1968
01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 3: Well, another one that's a very close line to toss up.

1969
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,600
Speaker 3: The Celtics going to visit the New York Knicks. The

1970
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,680
Speaker 3: next are favorite by one and a half. We met

1971
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 3: our picks before the show. Three of us skeets, myself

1972
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 3: and Trey are going with the Boston Celtics.

1973
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 2: Lee, who wasn't too.

1974
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 3: High on the New York Knicks in our previews, he's

1975
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:19,040
Speaker 3: taken the New York Knicks at home. He's gone to

1976
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 3: see the Knicks to Nate, why did you take the next?

1977
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 7: Lee? Ah? Well, Tibbs talked about their preseason and just

1978
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 7: said how every single thing is important and they were

1979
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 7: playing pretty well in that preseason, so maybe there's some

1980
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 7: momentum there, maybe there's some preseason bump. Kember back in

1981
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 7: New York as well, making his debut for the Knicks.

1982
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 7: Don't think they've got any significant injury concerns coming into tonight,

1983
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 7: so I think that crowd's going to be pretty packed,

1984
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 7: pretty hyped up. I can see the Knicks getting the

1985
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 7: W tonight, hopefully it's by at least two points.

1986
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 1: I find these first couple of Pickham's every year difficult

1987
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 1: because what happens, at least with me, is like, I'm

1988
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:57,559
Speaker 1: convinced the Celtics are going to be a pretty good

1989
01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: team this year. I think they're being slept on a

1990
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: little bit. So then this being the first pick them game,

1991
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, if I think the Celtics are going

1992
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 1: to surprise people and be like a top five pick,

1993
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 1: that means I have to have them winning games like this,

1994
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But it's like that's not

1995
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 1: necessarily true. They could lose to the Knicks and still

1996
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:12,800
Speaker 1: have a really good record.

1997
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, and the home court juice is real. What

1998
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 3: Lee's saying about the Knicks, just your first game at home.

1999
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 3: The Raptors started three and zero once upon a time

2000
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 3: with Lauren Woods and Chris Bosh lining up and they

2001
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 3: were just bad team. But you get some juice gone

2002
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 3: from the preseason. It happens.

2003
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 7: I think Kimba would like to maybe send a little

2004
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 7: message to the Celtics tonight as well, if he could matter.

2005
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 2: That's why I kind of picked well, yeah, oh yeah.

2006
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 1: Revenge backcourt from the Knicks versus the Celtics. Eleven games

2007
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: on tonight, my goodness. Everybody get your league pass ready.

2008
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Raptors are one of those teams playing tonight at home

2009
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: back in Canada, hosting the Wizards. But we'll be back

2010
