00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,880

Speaker 6: Oh, the Southern people.

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: Anyway, Before all of that, before all of that, guys,

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: we got another Weggie wedge number twenty six on the

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: season from Rockets rookie Josh Christopher Sticking number twenty six

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: in the sort of corner there, weird angle, good stuff

68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: from Yeah let him breathe the JV Geese Gota go,

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: I gotta go go. So that's nice, number twenty six

70
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: on the season at Crimson Underscore Slims. He tweeted in today,

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: high degree of difficulty on that one contested shot. Incredible

72
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: road performance ten out of ten. Work here?

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 7: Wow?

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, weggies don't want to be traded before

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: the deadline. I know they've been slowing down, but they

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: don't want to be replaced by some other colloquial I

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: can't even I can't speak, but you know they don't

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: want to be replaced something else. But they could be

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: because they're almost dying. No, they're dying.

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 6: Where are they?

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: We went three over the last that I don't know

82
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: a week.

83
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: That's not bad, I suppose.

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: Okay, quick trade round up though, If you weren't joining

85
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: us live throughout the day yesterday, make sure you check

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: out all of our reaction videos and podcasts to the

87
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: two big deals. I'm talking, of course, about the Pacers

88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: trading Sabonis to the Kings in a six player deal

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: with Haliburton and Heal the big names going back to Indiana.

90
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 4: And then the other one was the Blazer's trading CJ.

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 4: McCollum to the Pelicans. We have what twenty to twenty

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 4: five minute reaction videos trade grades to both of those

93
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: up on our YouTube feed, up in our podcast feed.

94
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: But now that you've had some time to digest them,

95
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 4: tasks any more thoughts on those big deals yesterday.

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: Well, I think the Pacers could be moving Buddy Heel

97
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: any second. Af we're getting him from the Kings. He's

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: got the skill the people want in today's NBA, so

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: we could be jumping off for that. They have Chris

100
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: du Arte as well, a younger version of Buddy hil

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: if you want to call him that. So I could

102
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: see that happening very very soon. And the Kings, Yeah,

103
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: have I digested any differently? Well, they're gonna keep pushing

104
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: for that ten seed, keep on going. Kings with a

105
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: horrific defense. They should be bad to watch defensively. Hopefully

106
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: they can make it work. But it's truly truly interesting,

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: and I think they could get that tense spot. And

108
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I think the Pelicans should be in there as well

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: after making the deal for CJ. McCollum and and a

110
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: lot of people wondering, are the Pelicans just trying to

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: be mediocre as well? Is that they're ceiling like people

112
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: are saying about the Sacramento Kings. But I do think

113
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: that the Pelicans made out fairly well in this deal,

114
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: even though they get a thirty year old CJ McCollum.

115
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Are they Yeah? Is there sealing mediocre. It all depends

116
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: who CJ. McCollum is playing with. Really, if Brandon Ingraman's

117
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Ion Williamson are there, then CJ. McCollum is wonderful. As

118
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Trey said, as a number three guy. Oh yeah, they're

119
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: feeling good. They're extremely happy, and I don't think Portland

120
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: got enough back. The Pelicans played this baby well. They're

121
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: actually tenth in the standings in the Western Conference right now,

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: so they're in the plan and they have the ninth

123
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: worst record in the NBA. And they retained top four

124
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: protection on their pick, which means they've got a twenty

125
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: percent chance of getting a top four pick.

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: So I think they've covered their basis.

127
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: I think David Griffin did really, really well. Because this

128
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: is a top four heavy draft or whatever, it doesn't matter.

129
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: I think they did. I think they did pretty well.

130
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: They're gonna miss Josh Hart and all that, but I

131
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: don't know. They added it an older guy, but it

132
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of makes me believe Zion's gonna come back and

133
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: be a leader of this team.

134
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 4: We got your thoughts on the McCollum, Traine, because you

135
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: were still here in the Classic Factory and when we

136
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: did that one, but then you were gone and you

137
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: couldn't make it back for the Pacers Kings, Traine, So

138
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: let's hear your thoughts on that.

139
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

140
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 5: Well, so when I got home classic, you know, you

141
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: walk in the house while I've said so can I

142
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: take this? Meet him said yeah, yeah, I'm good. Now

143
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: go for it. As soon as you check the phone,

144
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 5: you get that alert and I'm like, you're fucking me out.

145
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: It's like I used to be after the show in

146
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 5: the old days, whereas like as soon as you finished recording,

147
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: something happens, and the same thing happened. So you check

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 5: as well, is this maybe a joke? Is there's something

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: else there?

150
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: Because well, because.

151
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 5: Of all the Kings players who were going to get traded,

152
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: Buddy Harrison, Barnes, Darren Fox, I was like, Tyres is there.

153
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 5: They're not trading him for anything unless it's that absolute

154
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 5: hall that they couldn't turn down. So I looked at

155
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: it a couple of times and I'm like, that can't

156
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 5: be that got a.

157
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: Bit you kept seeing Halliburton, kept going Yeah, I kept.

158
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 5: Going, there's got that's got to be Fox. There's no

159
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: way they're giving up Halliburton for that for so Bonus,

160
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: who's a good young All Star player. He's going to

161
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 5: give you rebounds and points and he can he's good

162
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: in the offensive end. And I was like, I can't

163
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: believe the Kings gave up on Haliburton. Haliburton wanted to

164
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: be there. They drafted him, he was their guy. He's

165
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 5: he was loved by the fans there, and it was

166
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 5: pretty much acknowledged by everyone, like he's the guy you

167
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: want to hang on to right now. I think you

168
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 5: can give up on Darren Fox or not give up

169
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 5: on him, but maybe it's time for him to move on.

170
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: So I thought this was a bad move here by

171
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: the Kings to just give up Haliburton for the like.

172
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 5: Other than that, the rest of the deal, it doesn't

173
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: really matter because it's like you gave up the best

174
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: young Now. Some people are pushing back saying, well, hang,

175
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: Halliburtons hasn't done all that much yet, right.

176
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: I mean, there was a lot of love for Terry's

177
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: Haliburton yesterday, but I think people went a little over p.

178
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you compare him to where Sa Bonus has

179
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: already done in his career, being the All Star and

180
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: being five two feels older. He feels older. But it's

181
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 5: just that what Haliburton could become, and it's the Kings

182
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 5: giving up on him after they d after him. They

183
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: didn't need to put him in that deal. If that

184
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: deal was there for Sabonas, I think they could have

185
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 5: gotten something else out of it. So I thought I

186
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 5: thought it was bad.

187
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: I mean, you agreed with most of the Internet that

188
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: the Kings were the Kings yesterday.

189
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, just just the fact they gave up Haliburton. Seemingly

190
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 5: he was the one that they wouldn't trade for Ben Simmons. Apparently,

191
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 5: again we weren't we are privy to all those conversations,

192
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: but it sounded like the Kings were like, no, we're

193
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: not doing it for Ben Summons, and then they do

194
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 5: it for this and it's like wow, Wow, why would

195
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: you do that? So I thought it was a bad,

196
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 5: bad move by the Kings.

197
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: Any final thoughts on those two trades yesterday, the Pelicans

198
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: Blazer's trade or this Pacers Kings one. The Blazers are.

199
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 7: Kind of getting dunked on quite a bit here for

200
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 7: having to completely redo the last two years of their

201
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 7: franchise pretty much, but I think they're doing an okay job,

202
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 7: Like they're gonna be terrible this year, but that's kind

203
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 7: of the point. They're gonna have a chance at a

204
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 7: really high draft pick. They are a younger team now.

205
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 7: Josh Hart is gonna be helpful for them. They've got

206
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 7: a bigger role now for Amfrety Simon's and they've got

207
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 7: a lot more flexibility. So I feel like the Blazers,

208
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 7: even though their team is a lot worse today and

209
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 7: yesterday than it was on Man, what even day is Wednesday?

210
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 4: Monday?

211
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 7: Okay, so Monday the Blazers were terrible. They're still bad. Yeah,

212
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 7: just a little bit worse, which is good since they

213
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 7: can drop even further down in the standings. But now

214
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 7: they can actually make some moves around Damian Lillard. So yeah,

215
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 7: it's bad for the Blazers this season. But guess what,

216
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 7: this season's already over for the Blazers. Now there's no

217
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 7: reason for day and Leather to come back. He's been

218
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 7: talking about this abdominal injury that he's had for four seasons.

219
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 7: Now he gets the rest for a lot of months

220
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 7: until he's ready to come back next season. So I'm

221
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 7: still on the board, or I'm still thinking that the

222
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 7: Blazers are going to and should keep Lillard right for

223
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 7: now and try some other things around him. At least

224
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 7: they have a chance for something new. Personally, I would

225
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 7: also move off Nurkic. I think that he is a

226
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 7: huge part of the reason they're never able to build

227
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 7: a good defense. Like Lillard and Nurkic together as your

228
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 7: point guard and your center on defense, you're never going

229
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 7: to have a good defense. So try something else. But

230
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 7: we'll see what they end up doing. But I think

231
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 7: the Blazers their team is worse, there's no doubt about it,

232
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 7: but their outlook is a little bit better.

233
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: All right, Well, let's get to the games again. If

234
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: you want to hear us talk about those two deals

235
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: in much much more detail, go check out those videos

236
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: that we posted yesterday and the podcast, both about twenty

237
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: five minutes long. All right, the only real good game

238
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 4: from last night was the Sun holding off the seventy

239
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 4: six ers on fourteen one oh nine. The Suns now

240
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: have forty four wins, and again this was entertaining some

241
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 4: bad turnovers late. I would say for Philly there was

242
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: chances there to win this game, but it was entertaining.

243
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: Done the less tray, What do you think Yeah, I

244
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: thought this was a fun game.

245
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 7: A couple of little boners there at the end by

246
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 7: Joel Embiid, no doubt about it. He took the three

247
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 7: pointer a step back after the possession was going nowhere.

248
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 7: I guess there was about fifty seconds left, made a

249
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 7: great play to get the steel back off Chris Paul.

250
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 7: You don't see the Suns making mistakes down the stretch

251
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 7: all that often. But then an even worse turnover from

252
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 7: Joel Embiid. He just kind of led Seth Curry wait

253
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 7: way way too far. It was an unforced are he

254
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 7: just chucked it out of bonds. That was very weird

255
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 7: to see. So if they cleaned that up, like you

256
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: just can't make mistakes against the Sun, They're not gonna

257
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 7: make mistakes, right, and when they do, you have to

258
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 7: seize on it. So I thought that was a sort

259
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 7: of where the game was lost. And also to me,

260
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 7: the TSN turning point, a four point flop with three

261
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 7: minutes and thirty nine seconds left by Chris Paul. Oh

262
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 7: then come on, I mean, that was the perfect Chris

263
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 7: Paul play. He takes I guess he you know, he

264
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 7: flops on fible. I think it was coming through the

265
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 7: screen right and likely a foul like that's just a

266
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 7: classic Chris Paul move. He goes to the line, makes

267
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 7: the first one. This is the second they get the

268
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 7: offensive rebound, and was it crowder crowd prowder?

269
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 6: Maybe I think hit a three.

270
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 7: Suddenly the this was a tie game and now the

271
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 7: Suns are up for and you're playing from behind against

272
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 7: the Suns. Good look they you know, the Sixers had

273
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 7: a chance, they got the steal, they could have done

274
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 7: something with it. They didn't, So you got to take

275
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 7: advantage to beat the Suns. It's really really hard to do,

276
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 7: at least in the regular season. So great stuff from

277
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 7: the Suns to be able to pull this one up.

278
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: It felt terrible for Joel Embiad after that pass, who

279
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: was trying to lead Seth Curry. I don't know why

280
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: he was trying to go well yeah, and honestly, watching that,

281
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: you just you just feel for the Sixers and just

282
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: think they need one more guy. Seth Curry is just

283
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: not the guy who's going to lead your team at

284
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: the end of games as their point guard. They hope

285
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: it's Tyrese Maxi, but Seth was just I mean, he

286
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: was taken away. In this game, the Sons did an

287
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: incredible job of taking Seth Curry away, and in that

288
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: moment where and Be thought let's push, let's push less push,

289
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: Seth stopped and was ready to have somebody else take

290
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: the ball. So he really really needs one more guard.

291
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: He does, And you know, it's it's nice to think

292
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: that Tyers Max he could be that guy right now.

293
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: It's just it's unlikely. And he did everything he could

294
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: at the end of that game, made that beautiful steal.

295
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: What a poke it was on Chris Paul there with

296
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: the hands. But he's he's their lone ball handler, it

297
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: seems at times. And you got the best Tobias Harris

298
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: game you'll ever get, and they just need one guy.

299
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: So I just felt terrible for HIMBI because they could

300
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: have beat the Phoenix Suns in this game. And I

301
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: think with one more ball handler, one guy that he

302
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: knows he needs this team if they go into the postseason. Yeah,

303
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: he thinks, he thinks he can carry this team on

304
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: his back, and some days he can, but series in

305
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: and series out, he does. He needs another ball handler

306
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: just like that.

307
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: But you're saying, like, just like a steady Eddy sort

308
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: of a good one, like a vet sort of point

309
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: guard type guy.

310
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: Good one. I mean, I mean he has flashbacks to

311
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: having Jimmy Butler beside him and thinking, oh man, we

312
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: could roll with that guy. If it's Ben Simmons, I'm

313
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: sure he has that idea too. I'm sure he feels

314
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: good if look at that team. I mean they're playing

315
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: so well, it's a real dark Rivers team. Just to

316
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: elevate one guy. Yeah, they could. They could feel right,

317
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: I think, and I think Joel could feel right.

318
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 4: What do you think of this game?

319
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: I thought another impressive performed from the Suns on the

320
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 5: second night of back to back, tough little back to

321
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,359
Speaker 5: back there going to Chicago. I mean that was the

322
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 5: actual blowout. That wasn't a blow out there, but they

323
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 5: had to.

324
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: Finish three point games two of the best teams in.

325
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 5: The book thirty eight on Monday Night thirty five, last

326
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: night eleven for twenty three. Again, he's just feeling I mean,

327
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: he's always been a good shooter, and now he's just like,

328
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter who's defending him. He saw tiber on

329
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: him last night a couple of times, and he's just like,

330
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 5: I'm just shooting over you. And as if you're not there,

331
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 5: So he's great. Bridges was again fantastic for them, and

332
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 5: Javail again another double double for him off the bench.

333
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 5: So everyone from the Sun seems to just contribute, and

334
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 5: that's what makes him so impressive. You know that the

335
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 5: Sixers were leading this game, but Phoenix just wore them down.

336
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 5: So yeah, super impressive stuff.

337
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: Do you think we're getting a Sixers Nets trade today?

338
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 4: Because the latest intel is they're talking these two teams

339
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: about Simmons for hardened deal. But the hold up is

340
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: the Nets want two or three players coming back, and

341
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 4: a lot of people thinking, well, what does that mean

342
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: Thibel Curry? Is it possible they want they're asking for Max,

343
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: you know?

344
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 5: And then I definitely think want to give up that much. Yeah,

345
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 5: And I just don't think that's where the Sixers want

346
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 5: to go. I think they want to keep it pretty

347
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 5: much player for player, maybe one more and throw in

348
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: the someone a little deeper on the right, George and Yang,

349
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 5: someone like that, which is you know, the Nets are

350
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 5: probably like, oh, you don't.

351
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: Even think the Sixers and Morio would go, Okay, we'll

352
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: take Heart and we'll give you Simmons and then we'll

353
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: give you one of our you know, good players. Yeah,

354
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 4: probably not Maxi, but Curry or Tibel.

355
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's probably Seth because I think they like

356
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: the defense that Tibel gives them, even though offensively he's

357
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: obviously nowhere near as good as Seth. But I think

358
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 5: if you give up Simmons and Thiible, that's two. I mean, well,

359
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: it's one, really, isn't it. But it's it's too perimitive defenders.

360
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 5: And I think that they would probably hold onto Thible

361
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 5: for that reason.

362
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: But are we getting this trade today as soon as

363
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: we wrap up today's podcast?

364
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: You I wish, yeah, But no, I just don't see

365
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: it happening. I don't know. It's it's odd seeing the

366
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Nets on this losing streak, but I think they're just

367
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: gonna hang on to these losses, just keep losing until

368
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: their guys come back. It's it's strange, But is that

369
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the quick remedy. I don't. I don't think that even

370
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: though they're losing, that KD sits there and says, oh,

371
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: that's our solution. I don't think so, right. I think

372
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: I think they're thinking internally. I think this level of

373
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: player that the Sixers are looking at. It's just it's

374
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I wonder if the Malcolm Brogden extension

375
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: that forces the Pacers to wait until next season kind

376
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: of hurt them because they went basically into this year thinking, well, well,

377
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: extend Malcolm Bragnen. Our team is Sabonus and Miles Turner

378
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Brogden essentially with carrosel Vert as well. Then

379
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: they decide to blow it up. Now they can't trade

380
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brognen. Now they kind of have two Malcolm Brogden's

381
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: with Tyrese Halbert, and then they have two buddy heels

382
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: with Chris Duarte. I think they would like to trade

383
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: one of each of those guys, and it could have

384
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: been a deal for Simmons. And I think if Malcolm

385
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Brogden's on the floor yesterday they went with Joel Embiid.

386
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: And I know I'm a big broga dogga more than

387
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: other people are, but he's solid when he's healthy, and

388
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: I think he could have been that. Joel just needs

389
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: a number two, that's all he needs need.

390
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 4: There is a lot of smoke right now out of

391
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: this hard and Simmons, Uh yeah, potential because the latest

392
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: thing is well you know, the Sixers are trying to say, well,

393
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 4: the Nett pushback and say you got to give us

394
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 4: more guys because you're not going to be able to

395
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,239
Speaker 4: actually just sort of bring him in. You'd have to

396
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 4: move so many guys and open up so much room

397
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: to then sign him if obviously hardens to not extend

398
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 4: there with the Nets or to stay with the Nets.

399
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: But then they're pushing back. Now the Sixers camp is,

400
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: or at least from reports like oh we can, we

401
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: have deals lined up. We can move Tobias Harris, no problem.

402
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: So Harden is coming, is what they're saying. They're trying

403
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: to say Harden's coming in the summer because you know,

404
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 4: we can get Tobias Harris to Okay, see, we can

405
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: get them wherever we need to and then we'll just

406
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 4: take them. So if you want Simmons and you want

407
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: this deal right now, then let's go. But we're not

408
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 4: including too much other players in a Korean table. So

409
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 4: there's a bunch of posturing here, which I mean obviously

410
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: makes it fun.

411
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: To Obias Harris is like he's killing it right now

412
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 5: too three last night. But it's basically like the okay,

413
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 5: so he thunder I've got the cap room. He's going

414
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 5: there if we don't get the deal, and then we're

415
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 5: just getting hard in as well. I feel bad for him,

416
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 5: you know, he's nice guy, but he's frustrating players. For Tobias, yeah,

417
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 5: because he's not made himself unmovable. He's basically like with

418
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: with you know, the talks have ramped up to the

419
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 5: point it's like, we'll give you Simmons, you got to

420
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 5: take Tobias Harris too, which.

421
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Is a bit rough to you. Keep reading every Ben

422
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Simmons article. I cracked yesterday.

423
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: Oh you're done.

424
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: I read every Ben Simmons article until February eighth two,

425
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: and then yesterday the sam Amick wrap up. I just

426
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: on the Athletic. It was good. I read the first

427
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: few lines.

428
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: I said, I can't I understand.

429
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm at a breaking point. I'm reading the live blog.

430
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm waiting.

431
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 6: I'm waiting.

432
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, live updates, real updates. But I'm done. I'm

433
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: done on the the simo until it happened.

434
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 4: Until he says, you read every Ben Simmons article up

435
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: until like thirty six hours before the actual then you tap.

436
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 4: Then they broke test mellows. Oh my God. Well, I'll

437
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 4: keep reading it and I'll try and keep you up

438
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: to date. And I don't know if I did a good

439
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: job explaining that, but I think you guys were following

440
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 4: the other games from last night. Again, they're all blowouts,

441
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: but some of the teams that were getting crushed are interesting.

442
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 4: Here Yannis scored forty four as the Bucks beat the

443
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 4: Lakers one thirty one to one sixteen. And then the

444
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 4: news right after this game, of course, is Lakers feel

445
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: urgency to make a change up trade deadline. But what

446
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: the hell is that and what could they possibly do?

447
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: What do you think of the game or those rumors?

448
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 5: Well, there was also the Russell Westbrook not playing in

449
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. Yeah trend now cheering on his teammates

450
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 5: and also feeling that he's earned the right to close games.

451
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: But he didn't really complain, but he kind of did.

452
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 5: He got booted last night. He also said that was

453
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 5: a sign of respect from the fans. I sort of

454
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: get what he's saying there. You know, they have such

455
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 5: high expectations he's going through a rough pack.

456
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 7: Well, then Ben Simmons should come back to Philadelphia time.

457
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 5: But look, it's rare that we actually get an All

458
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 5: Star game before the All Star Game. But that's what

459
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 5: it felt like last night because the Lakers didn't shoot badly,

460
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 5: the rebounds and the cists were about the same, but

461
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 5: they got absolutely smoked. They made the fake run late

462
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 5: which didn't really count, but this one was just an

463
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 5: obliteration from the start. They gave up seventy eight points

464
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 5: in the first half. Their defense is just is just

465
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 5: not there. So yeah, they feel the urgency, of course

466
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 5: they do, but this is like, okay, so what are

467
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 5: you prepared to trade? I mean, what have you got

468
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 5: to trade? And what are you prepared to trade? No

469
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: one's going to take Westbrook when he's got forty seven

470
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 5: million player option for next season, So well.

471
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: Hold on, We've heard that said many times.

472
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 5: Okay, but this is different. This is different. And then

473
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 5: who are you going to give up? I mean, Taylor Horton, Tucket.

474
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 5: You're not going to get much in return. They're aresa

475
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 5: all these guys, Malik Monk, I guess could maybe get

476
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 5: you something, but he's actually been shooting the ball over Yeah,

477
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: so that's the thing, And so I feel the urgency, like, yeah, okay,

478
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 5: but what have you got? What are you going to

479
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: do here. So I think they're largely stuck with what

480
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 5: they have, which is just overall, they're just lacking complete

481
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 5: intensity for one thing. On the defensive end the Bucks.

482
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 5: Now look at Yannas, he just walked into the paint.

483
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 5: But what did he feel. I think he his first eleven,

484
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: he finished seventeen for twenty in a regular season game.

485
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 5: He had a couple of threes and again, and you

486
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: hear Jim Jackson on the call saying, oh, okay, let

487
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 5: him knock down one. Fine, but they're letting him. They're

488
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 5: not even getting close to him. So you know, he

489
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 5: only took two knocked him in thirteen free throws. A

490
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 5: fifteen point final mogin was really about a fifty point

491
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: win for the Box.

492
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: And then we get this image at the end of

493
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: the game where Westbrook is like, you know, you've got

494
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: to ejected Lebron and ad on the bench after yeah,

495
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 4: this sort of fake comeback, and Westbrook almost almost blessing

496
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: them or Okay, yeah we'll get there. I mean, it's bad.

497
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: It's it's rough there in Lakerland right now. And the

498
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: Bucks were pretty dominant because Middleton was awesome in the

499
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: first half, especially too, but what do you think?

500
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Well, two things. I think we all forget that the

501
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks are the favorite in the Eastern Conference, just

502
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: because the last month or so we've been talking about

503
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: the Bulls for the first couple months, the heat are

504
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: still amazing. Then we talked about the Nets, who wore

505
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: the favorite in Las Vegas, huge air quotes. But now

506
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks reminded us they are the team to beat. Yeh,

507
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: gotta go through.

508
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: Because you have to. You're reminded when you see these

509
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 4: games that Yiannis could do this easily four games out

510
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 4: of seven in any playoff.

511
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: Sers Yeah, the Bulls. The Bulls don't have the experiences.

512
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, you find whatever reason for each team, but

513
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: they're the favorite. Other side the Lakers, Okay, they can't

514
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: do a lot of the trade deadline. They just can't

515
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: because of how they're paying their salary structure for the

516
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: top three guys. What about what about a dirty little

517
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: move like getting Dennis Shrewder back. I know it's crazy,

518
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: but the Celtics it's it's a weird pairing with him

519
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: in Westbrook, obviously, but he was their point guard last

520
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: year when they were the best defense in the league.

521
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: They were up to one on the Suns, right, the

522
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: chemistry was better. I don't know what you do with

523
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: Westbrook and Shrewder, but that's like an attainable guy because

524
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: all these other guys, even the buddy Heel that they

525
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: could have got before the season, unless it's a three

526
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: team deal and and they're working some sort of cat magic,

527
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, throwing names out there. Because Shrewder's available,

528
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: that's a legitimate name that they could get in. He's

529
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: only six million bucks. That's how that could happen.

530
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: As we tick down, no matter how small this or big,

531
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 4: I guess a deal is here. It feels like the

532
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 4: Lakers aren't going to be doing something because all these

533
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 4: quotes are, like I mean, just pretty wild hearing from

534
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 4: like the players saying like we got to shake up

535
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 4: something something whatever that player coming in is and if

536
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: it's moving thht and none and yeah, what are you

537
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: really getting back for that in a very future first

538
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: round pick? Yeah, not a lot.

539
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: None for Shrewder works, but you.

540
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 5: Know but what yeah, I mean, yeah, what's for the

541
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 5: Celtics w even make that deal?

542
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I mean, Kendrick Nunne could be a guy

543
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: off the bench, to be, but he hasn't played.

544
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 5: It's an issue too.

545
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: But but also it's like every team trades Dennis Shrewder

546
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: and Dennis Schreuder wants to move on. He's coming off

547
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: the bench and playing some minutes for the Celtics team,

548
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: but he is sort of deep in the rotation. They're

549
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: making a move, but it's not going to be a

550
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: big one. They need a spark, and I feel like

551
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: if there is no trade, then the move they're going

552
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: to make is probably firing Frank Vogel, which you know

553
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: is that Frankie hold On.

554
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 4: Was Frank Vogel just named to the Greatest Coaches of

555
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 4: All Times? Oh he didn't name it, No, it's sixteenth.

556
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 5: He was, he was sixteen.

557
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: I think in the New Jersey was sixteen on that.

558
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Why did they.

559
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: They did this in ninety seven? I think they did

560
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 4: top ten coaches of all time? They do to ten

561
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 4: of all time? Yeah, they do this weird thing they

562
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: added five fifteen. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean I's forgotten.

563
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: I had forgotten about the top ten.

564
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 4: I guess you want to do thirty minutes on the

565
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 4: top fifteen coaches.

566
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 5: Of all time?

567
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 4: Where's Rudy T.

568
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: Where's Rudy T?

569
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

570
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: Okay, where is He never underestimated.

571
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 4: Any thoughts her tray on on what the Lakers can

572
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 4: possibly do here or this game?

573
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 7: Well, Lebron said, it tells me we ain't on their level.

574
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 7: I mean, I kind have told you that before the game.

575
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 7: He wants something to happen Westbrook for Julius Randall and

576
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 7: Evan Fournier. Would you do it?

577
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 4: I mean, what would the Knicks do that?

578
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 7: Westbrook's a big name and also the Knicks suck like

579
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 7: they need somebody. Westbrook would probably help the Knicks.

580
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 4: I get have you seen them?

581
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: That is?

582
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 4: Man, that's a depressing trade to me.

583
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

584
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 7: Man, that's the most depressing trade package out there, trading

585
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 7: for Julius Randall and Evan Fournier.

586
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 6: But I got it and lined up for another team

587
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 6: as well. Be here in a little bit later, my friends.

588
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, let's go to the Celtics killing the Nets

589
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: one twenty six to ninety one. That is the nets

590
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 4: ninth straight loss. That's how bad it's gotten there. And

591
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: then the Celtics quietly here I think, have strung together

592
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 4: a nice little winning streak.

593
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: Six straight six Okay, six straight wins, nine straight losses,

594
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: and the Celtics pops over very nice. The Celtics popped

595
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: over the nets in the standings, right, which is weird,

596
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: but the Celtics are now up there in the standings

597
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: and hey, this Boston Celtics team, My Celtics putting it

598
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: all together, absolutely moving the basketball or Celtics, Yeah they're mine.

599
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Well I have been calling them the

600
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: most five hundred team all season long. But they're they're

601
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: breaking through the ceiling and they they are absolutely not

602
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: They feel good. Everybody eats, everybody touching the ball.

603
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: They're playing defense too, Yeah, playing d all year. Yeah,

604
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 4: they've gone to another level.

605
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: I feel like they've been. They've been, Yeah, because they

606
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: like each other. Again, it's four quarters of spacing, ball movement,

607
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: player movement, the shot distribution quite equal. They're playing thirteen

608
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: guys because they're playing the nets and they can crush

609
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: the nets, and that the first quarters matter in this league.

610
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes in a couple of these games, in the Bucks

611
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: Lakers game, in the net Celtics.

612
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: Game, yeah, twenty eight to two lead, Yeah.

613
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: Twenty eight to two lead in this game because they

614
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: were able to walk from defense into easy offensive scores.

615
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: It was unfortunate. So this isn't really indicative of how

616
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: good the Boston Celtics have been playing, because the Nets

617
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: had zero of their big three. Obviously, they're playing at home,

618
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: although hey, the mandates are being lifted in New York State.

619
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: Could happen in New York City soon. You never know

620
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn as well. You never never know. Kyrie could

621
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: be back someday. Anyway, the Celtics are playing their best ball, obviously,

622
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: and this East is getting a bit of a it's

623
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a glot up there in this already was.

624
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 4: And then as we talked about, here are the Raptors

625
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 4: now back in the mix of the Celtics.

626
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: The Hawks are coming.

627
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess the Nets are falling out of it though,

628
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: and I guess they're really the only one I'm trying

629
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 4: to think. I guess the Hornets have come back a

630
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 4: little bit, and.

631
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: The Nets are falling further, The Wizards are falling further,

632
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: and the Hawks are joining the fray. So it's it's

633
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: a team that I don't think makes a move. I

634
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: don't think the Celtics make a move unless they're trading

635
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Dennis Shrewder.

636
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: Do you think T and T should have cut away

637
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 4: from this game?

638
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure, Yeah it was.

639
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: It was.

640
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was when you saw those starting lineups basically

641
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 5: fully strength Celtics versus you know what the Nets had

642
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 5: to offer. This game was a blowout from they were

643
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 5: fourteen zero, I think it was in the first three

644
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 5: minutes and that was all over from then. So and look,

645
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: I don't want to be a debbie down here for

646
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: the Celtics, but I will say because they have one

647
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 5: eight of nine very winnable games, all those ones there,

648
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 5: even the heat they blew out. I think the heat

649
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 5: were on that second night after the big triple over there.

650
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 6: Nobody.

651
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Jimmy Butler wasn't playing. I think Bam did actually play,

652
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 5: But that was about it. And then you know, I

653
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 5: saw the Hornets good team. But other than that, Piston's

654
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: magic and the severely shorthanded that's the last three. Sorry,

655
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 5: but listen, you gotta win the games, and that's all

656
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 5: the Celtics are doing right now.

657
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 4: Okay, let me just give you all these other bullouts

658
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: last night and then Trey, maybe you want to touch

659
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 4: on one or two of them, gotcha? Or do you

660
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: have an actual no food, no chance, okay, no chan

661
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: Actually I got a note for everyone, now, Okay, here

662
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 4: we go. Hawks crushed the trade depleted Pacers one thirty three,

663
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 4: one twelve cheeks. Next, John Moran Tally's thirty points against

664
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 4: again as the Grizzlies killed the Clippers.

665
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 7: I thought that one was actually cool. A lot of

666
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 7: alley oops, some nice Ja Morant highlights. I would love

667
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 7: to see the proportion of points that the Grizzlies score

668
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 7: on alley oops compared to the rest of the league.

669
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 6: I imagine it's best.

670
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 7: You think so, Brandon Clark, that guy gets a lot

671
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 7: of alliops too. You like that little lefty that jah

672
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 7: had their splitting snaking through the pick and roll. And

673
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 7: then he's afterwards, he's like, hey, here's what I did.

674
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 7: Here's what I did. That was like it was a

675
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 7: snake move. The way he went through and also the

676
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 7: way he moved his arm was very snake like.

677
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 4: God hit pretty hard in this game too from Morris,

678
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: but he was like, eh, it's fine. I played on concrete.

679
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 5: Was a great course quote.

680
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: He's on fire right now on the court and off

681
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 4: the court line he says he turned it into a

682
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: T shirt, all right, brandon Ingram scores twenty six as

683
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 4: the Surgic Pelicans topped the Rockets one ten to ninety seven.

684
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 7: We love the Pelicans right now, four straight wins. Brandon

685
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 7: Ingram personally is eight and two in his last ten

686
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 7: twenty six points last night on eleven of seventeen shooting.

687
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 6: That is nice.

688
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: Also ten points, eleven rebounds for Herbert Jones. I heard

689
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 7: Zach Lvesey is gonna start calling him full Herbert. I'm

690
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 7: sticking with Herb.

691
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: I like her, I love her or let's even get fun.

692
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 4: Let's go Herbie Bert Wow.

693
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 7: Burt Jones. It's been a long time so we had

694
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 7: a Herb in the NBA. Probably even longer since we

695
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 7: had a Bert.

696
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 6: I would have to imagine.

697
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. Probably Luca thirty three and eleven helps lead the

698
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 4: Mavericks past Pistons one sixteen to eighty six. Cheeks yep

699
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: bones Highland scores twenty two as the Nuggets beat the

700
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: Knicks one thirty two to one fifteen. Cheeks bones but cheeks, Yeah,

701
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: bones with cheeks. It's like my ass.

702
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: He put kemba on his cheeks.

703
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: Yes he did, Yes, he did.

704
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

705
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: The Magic down the Blazers one thirteen and ninety five.

706
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 4: That's the cheeks and the bench mob of the Timberwolves

707
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 4: carries them to the victory one thirty four to one

708
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: fourteen over the Kings.

709
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 7: Kings didn't have their trade pieces yet. Yeah, but I

710
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 7: like this one because the Wolves have to be feeling

711
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 7: pretty good about themselves. They've been in the Kings zone

712
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 7: for a long time. Any move they make, any sort

713
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 7: of positive momentum they get, nobody believes anything. But they

714
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 7: have leveled up. They have separated themselves from the Sacramento Kings.

715
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 6: So that's good.

716
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's good for the Timberwolves. You are no longer

717
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 7: Kings Midwest.

718
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 6: Look on the up and up.

719
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 4: Look at these scores and obviously these outcomes. You know

720
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: that the All Star weekend is near. Yeah, this happens,

721
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: uh And a lot of these teams, you know, de

722
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 4: play because of guys that have just been traded that

723
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 4: aren't even in the dawn you know, in the in

724
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 4: the locker room yet, or injuries and stuff like that.

725
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 4: But this happens as you get to the deadline and

726
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: then All Star against like people stop caring as much.

727
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and teams are just in different directions as well, right, now,

728
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the Pistons, I don't want to

729
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 5: win anymore as well. Right, it's starting to heat up

730
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 5: a little down the other end of the little. You know,

731
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 5: the league's obviously tried to change it so that you know,

732
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 5: it doesn't mean that whoever gets the absolute worst record

733
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: has the better chance of winning, but teams certainly want

734
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 5: to be in the mix of those bottom four teams.

735
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,479
Speaker 4: So, well, it's twofold. We've got the play in tournament,

736
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 4: you hope alive for some of these teams, and then

737
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 4: you're right, your odds aren't as high if you're like, yeah,

738
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: the worst team in the league gets a little more flattened.

739
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: Any thoughts on any of those blowouts there.

740
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: Well, yes, as you said about the Timberwolves, it's great

741
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: to see them separating themselves from the pack a little bit. Yeah,

742
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot of teams kind of keeping their guys out

743
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: here before the trade deadline. Right, One guy who's a

744
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 1: small name that could have been dealt the Timberwolves, Malik Beasley,

745
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: who shoots the lights out, shut the lights out yesterday

746
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: seven threes and has been really hot. Now, I don't

747
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: know if that means he's going to be dealt or

748
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: the Wolves are just happy they've got a scorer off

749
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: the bench because you know, he's signed that big contract

750
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: before the season. But he hit seven threes yesterday, five

751
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: before that, four before that, four before that. He's been balling.

752
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: They need some little injection of scoring from their bench.

753
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 4: Their bench has been rolled lately with nasried and yeah,

754
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: Princes played. Well, that's another guy whose names come up

755
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: in some of the trade rumors, McDaniels and stuff like that.

756
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 4: So good Win. They're from the from the Wolves who

757
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: almost called.

758
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 5: Them the Cakes.

759
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: They are not the Kinks. They're the Wolves, the Timberwolves,

760
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 4: the tea wolves. What are you not You're not supposed

761
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 4: to call them wolves, the tea wolves. Yeah, they don't

762
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 4: like it.

763
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 6: They hate it.

764
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 4: It's like Miami heat. You're supposed to capitalize heat, just

765
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: like people have their people have their preferences, don't they.

766
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you capitalize heat?

767
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: I hate No, they heat all four Yeah. I think

768
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 4: like legally you're supposed to.

769
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 6: You can get arrested if you don't.

770
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially in Miami.

771
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: Don't want any heat around here.

772
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 4: No, no capitalize it. Okay, we're gonna take our first

773
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 4: break when we come back, we'll talk bial. We'll talk

774
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,359

786
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 4: the All Star Saturday Night participants in the three point

787
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 4: contests and the new Skills Competition. But Wizard's guard Bradley

788
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: Beal is undergoing season ending surgery for a torn ligament

789
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 4: in his left wrist. Team was hopeful that surgery could

790
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 4: be ruled out, and he was considering various other treatment

791
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 4: options on that sprain ligament. But in the end he's

792
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 4: getting the surgery. He's done for the year. And now Trey,

793
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 4: we wonder how this changes the Wizard's plans here at

794
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 4: the trade deadline and what this means even for Beal.

795
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 4: Has he even played his last game in a Washington

796
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: Wizard's uniform for awing No.

797
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, this throws a lot of wrenches into things. Throws

798
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 7: a wrench into the entire trade deadline. I would have

799
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 7: to imagine, you know, Beale was going to be a

800
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 7: potentially gettable name at least if the Wizards decided that

801
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 7: they didn't want to make a run at the tenth seat.

802
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 7: They're a team that doesn't like to tank, so maybe

803
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 7: it was unlikely. But I have to think that at

804
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 7: the very least, this means the Wizards have to be

805
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 7: sellers of like a Mantres Harrald, a Thomas Bryant. Maybe

806
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 7: somebody could entice them on Kuzmer or KCP.

807
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 6: They've had.

808
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 7: They were at the playoffs last year, so I don't

809
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 7: think they need to like the optics of making a

810
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 7: postseason right. Maybe Spencer Dinwiddie could be had as well.

811
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 7: There's some role players there, basically that Tommy Shepherd's going

812
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 7: to be busy in the next to or what to know,

813
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 7: it's one eight hours, twenty eight hours, but man The

814
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 7: bigger question that he's gonna have to answer is what

815
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 7: to do with Beal since this guy is gonna be

816
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 7: eligible for a two hundred and forty million dollars deal

817
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 7: this season, or he could walk for nothing, literally nothing.

818
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

819
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 7: There still could be a team that wants to sign

820
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 7: him next season and thinks we'll have a better chance

821
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 7: of getting him to want to resign here if we

822
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 7: get him in our building. He can rehab here, we

823
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 7: can practice with him. But they have to also not

824
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 7: really be playing for anything this season. So you know

825
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 7: who it is.

826
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 6: It's the Knicks, baby.

827
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 7: Oh, here we go Evan forty A and Julius Randall

828
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 7: for Bradley Beal.

829
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 6: I don't know.

830
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 7: I mean, if you're the next the season, you're probably

831
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 7: not making it back you would be getting off of

832
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 7: that Julius Randall deal. I mean, Bradley Beal's gonna be

833
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 7: signing a pretty big contract here, but I think you

834
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 7: would rather pay him a whole bunch of money for

835
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 7: the next few seasons than you would Julius Randall. So

836
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't know none of us. Like

837
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 7: we said with the Westbrook trade, when you're making your

838
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 7: move for Julius Randall and Abin Fournier, you might end

839
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 7: up being the Knicks, you know what I'm saying. It's

840
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 7: a it's a tough one, yeah, but that's what happens.

841
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 7: That's what happens. And that's the risk that the Blazers

842
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 7: are going to run into with Damian Lillard, like keeping

843
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 7: him so long that they get to that humongous deal

844
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 7: that has been bad for pretty much everybody who's signed it.

845
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 6: That's not one of the top five guys in the.

846
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: Way and sorry, And just like for the Wizards who

847
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 4: put themselves in their shoes, they've already done this before

848
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: too with John Wall and a massive contract, and that

849
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 4: blows up in their face, so like, oh my god,

850
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 4: to look at it and have to maybe do it again.

851
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 4: And they might, they might sign them.

852
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 5: I mean, if they could.

853
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: It's an exchanging of problems if the Wizards do that

854
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: deal with the New York Knicks like we've seen with

855
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: Westbrook for Wall, that kind of thing, right, But you know,

856
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: somebody else's problem is always a little bit greener, right.

857
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I definitely don't hate it. It could

858
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: be a nicky move, and yeah, Wizards Yeah, just having

859
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 1: gone through this with John Wall, may have a little

860
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: reluctance to do this again with Bradley Beiald because it

861
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: seems like the status quo is you get your start

862
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: to that line where he can sign the monster deal

863
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: and just do it. But so many of these are

864
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: crapping out, so you gotta somebody's got it check.

865
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 4: I'm reluctant to sign Bradley Build to a five year,

866
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty five million dollar contract before the

867
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 4: wrist injury. Yeah, let alone. Now he's got this, So

868
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: that's tough. And like, of course with the whole player option,

869
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 4: he could go to another team, but it wouldn't be

870
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 4: as much money. Yeah, it's only the five years and

871
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 4: the eight percent increase that you can do. It's gonna

872
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 4: be four years in the five percent increase. So yeah,

873
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 4: what are you doing here if you're Washington on the

874
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 4: next twenty seven hour, no twenty eight hours.

875
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 5: Still, Yeah, it's it's a tough one because if they

876
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 5: move on from the guy they drafted, their franchise guy,

877
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 5: they're saying, all right, we're trading you, and they're losing him.

878
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 5: They've lost Wall as well. The season's sort of gone apart,

879
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 5: but they got to get something I think in return

880
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 5: for him other than okay, well if we do we

881
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 5: know sort of what the ceiling is with a Bradley

882
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 5: bild Let the playoffs last season I think was a

883
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 5: pretty good example. They haven't been able to sort of

884
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 5: build a team around him in the past, so it's like, okay,

885
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 5: we'll give you that huge deal, but then they're sort

886
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 5: of stuck with it. And for Bill, I mean for

887
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 5: the Knicks, what the situation doesn't really improve for him

888
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 5: there either, especially if they, you know, give up a

889
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: couple of players, you know, like so he may be

890
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 5: then facing signing a huge deal there in a team

891
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 5: that's really in the same position as him in Washington.

892
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 4: I'm laughing because the next you know their history with

893
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 4: free agencies, they sign a big name and then that

894
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 4: person gets injured. Yeah, this time they're just moving remove

895
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 4: a guy already entered. I mean, if it were to happen,

896
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 4: but yeah, this unfortunately it is for Browley Bill. He

897
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 4: hasn't played well this season at all. You're right, best

898
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 4: keyse scenario, when Bill's your best player on your team,

899
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 4: what are you I think your best key scenario is

900
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 4: you're a five hundred team.

901
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we saw that with Westbrook and in

902
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 5: last year they surged, they had that great run, they

903
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 5: made the playoffs, but ultimately did they even want to

904
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 5: I think did they win a game in the playoffs?

905
00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 5: I can't remember, but they weren't that good. So but yeah,

906
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 5: I mean, if you lose him for zero, then it

907
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 5: feels like, wow, what a We had a player of

908
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,919
Speaker 5: that asset, with that quality and we couldn't get anything

909
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 5: in return for him.

910
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 4: Let's say Bill doesn't get moved though here because of

911
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 4: now the injury and obviously the contract situation, and teams

912
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 4: are gonna be reluctant, Like treyce Selle, if you're gonna

913
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 4: trade from then you gotta be pretty confident you're gonna

914
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 4: be keeping. But what about the other guys like Montres

915
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: Harral and Dinwitty and like will these be pieces that

916
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 4: should be moved that can obviously help a team that's

917
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: maybe higher up in the standings than a Washington Wizards.

918
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, I think, yeah, you keep your

919
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: young uns. But yeah, KCP, Montrez, Harrel, Kuzma, even Spencer Dinwiddy,

920
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: he has been rumored to be on the trade block,

921
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: and I believe it. I believe that he could be had.

922
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: So yes, I think so.

923
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 5: Montrez is an interesting one because I think teams would

924
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 5: like to have a guy like him coming off the bench.

925
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 5: But we've also seen him struggle in the playoffs, you know,

926
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 5: to the point where he's been bench but he is

927
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 5: a six Man of the Year Award winner and he

928
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 5: does give you that energy, gives you that little boost.

929
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 5: So if you need someone to just shore up your bench.

930
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 5: I'm just throwing this name out there. The Raptors who

931
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 5: could use it ext time.

932
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 4: I tweeted it the smart I said, where are the mantras?

933
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 4: Herald to the Raptors. A lot of pushback on it, Well,

934
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 4: what do we need? Why do we need another sixty guy?

935
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: That's true, bad point.

936
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 5: But in the sense that you know what you're getting

937
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 5: from him off the bench, and then you know, as

938
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 5: the minutes do squeeze a little in playoffs, he's not

939
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 5: as effective. But maybe the Raptors could just use an

940
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 5: extra body on their bench.

941
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to the All Star Saturday night

942
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: three point contest participants the Mountain do three point contests.

943
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Lee was wearing a Mountain dew shirt

944
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: when I came in.

945
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 5: First kangaroo jacket.

946
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 4: Who's kangaroo Jack?

947
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 6: The actual kangaroo?

948
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 4: This is the Oh are you trying to do the

949
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 4: pose of the crazy Jack kangaroo?

950
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, it's a bunch of the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix

951
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 5: in the NBL.

952
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, there you go.

953
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: Well, no, sure we got one.

954
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 5: You've all got one.

955
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a new champion league.

956
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: Yes.

957
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 4: In the three Point Contest, Zach Levine is making his

958
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 4: third consecutive appearance. He's trying to become, as Trey has

959
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 4: brought up before, the first player ever to win the

960
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 4: Dunk Contest and the three Point Contest. You can tell

961
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 4: you really wants that because he keeps going in this

962
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 4: and I respect it. Trey Young competing for the second time,

963
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 4: and then everybody else first time participant, which shocked me.

964
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 4: I thought CJ. McCollum had been.

965
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 5: He has been in it. Okay, there was a replacement.

966
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 4: For maybe that's it. I could have sworn. I got

967
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 4: this off of NBA dot com and I was like,

968
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 4: what Cj' the first time? Anyway? You got two Ohio

969
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 4: natives there and Luke Kenard and c J McCollum, this

970
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 4: taking place in Cleveland, and then we do have Desmond Ban, Karl,

971
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: Anthony Towns, Fred Van Vliet. We knew that one, and

972
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 4: Patty Mills rounding it out. So I mean we get

973
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 4: a start here with just what are your thoughts on

974
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 4: these eight guys you like in the field. I know

975
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 4: you'll be watching regardless, what do you think overall?

976
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 5: I like the field. Yes, there is the one lefty

977
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 5: in there, Luke cannot good.

978
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: Could be the first one ever to win.

979
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Nerdug have preferred Kelly in there for entertainment value,

980
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 5: but listen, I'm okay with that. But overall not too bad.

981
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 5: You've got a couple of all stars there, Freddy Karl,

982
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 5: Anthony Towns and Zach Levine and Trey Young. Well yeah,

983
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 5: of course CJ's one of those, should have been an

984
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 5: All Star, hasn't been yet. Desmond Bane's been incredible for

985
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies this season. And then you've got Paddy Mills there,

986
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 5: So I'm very very happy to have Patty out there.

987
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 5: He's going to be my pick. I'm going with the Homer.

988
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 4: Pick of course there.

989
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 5: But overall, I like this field and I do like

990
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 5: the fact that zach Levine last two years, I think

991
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 5: he scored twenty two both times, good scores, but the

992
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 5: standard is a lot high. There's a few more points

993
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 5: there to be had.

994
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 4: Now, well, I'm glad you brought that up, because we

995
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 4: do have the dow zone.

996
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, two deep shots, yes.

997
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: Position between you know, your traditional racks at the top

998
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 4: and then on the wings. There's one on like each pedestal,

999
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 4: and those count for three points. Those are like six

1000
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 4: feet behind the three point line. I fucking hate them.

1001
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 4: I absolutely hate them. I mean, there's very clear before.

1002
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: Why try and ruin the most perfect contest that we have?

1003
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 4: Want to All Star Saturday Night? But they did a

1004
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 4: couple of years ago and it's still there. I thought,

1005
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 4: I mean I couldn't even remember. I thought it went away,

1006
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: and then it's back. Maybe maybe it's been there.

1007
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 5: I think they've had.

1008
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 4: The green balls are worth point three points, so there

1009
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 4: are more points. That's what I'm upset about. But who

1010
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 4: do you like to win, Trey zach Levin. You're gonna win, Yeah,

1011
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 4: zach Lavin guaranteed victory. Third times the charm He's gonna

1012
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: get twenty three this time.

1013
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 6: I heard him. That's gonna be the winner.

1014
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 7: My secondary pick, Treyon also a Homer pick, but I

1015
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 7: like it because he's got deep range. We've seen Steph

1016
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 7: Curry win a three point contest. He's got a Steph

1017
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 7: Curry like game, Steph Curry like jumper.

1018
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 6: So give me Trayon. All right?

1019
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 4: So you like the the DO zone coming in?

1020
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 6: Yeah? One, you got to make your long ones there

1021
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 6: worth more, right.

1022
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 4: Uh, give me a prediction who you like?

1023
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: Well? I agree that it's uh, it's wrong to throw

1024
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: in the D zone, thank you. They already threw, and

1025
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: even the additional moneyball rack, you know, I mean we've

1026
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: been accustomed to that, but four additional points there. I'm

1027
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: a traditionalist when it comes to the report because I

1028
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: don't know they're weird shots. But yeah, Trey could obviously

1029
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: make those. I'm just rolling with the Desmond Bine swagger

1030
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: from this year and the Grizzly swagger, so yeah, I'll

1031
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: roll with Desmond Bane. Wow. Okay, I'm buying it. I'm

1032
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 1: buying it. If if you could pull up the photo

1033
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: of them JD, if you don't mind they did my

1034
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: man Luke Canard pretty wrong with that shadow on his eye.

1035
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: It's just it looks it's a strange choice on his

1036
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: eyes there.

1037
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 4: They also didn't care to do a little photoshop work

1038
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 4: on CJ McCollum. I see last night. Check doesn't play

1039
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 4: for the Blazers anymore. That is official. He'll be in

1040
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 4: a Pelicans uniform. That'll be the first time we see

1041
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 4: c J McCollum and the Pelicans.

1042
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: No, I won't be.

1043
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 4: I guess I'll maybe be playing.

1044
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: Well, No, he could playing tonight, Yeah, yeah playing. There

1045
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: are just on the broadcast. You know, I keep wanting

1046
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: to be there.

1047
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 4: I keep thinking. All Star Weekend is this weekend?

1048
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: Usually it is, but the Super Bowls added in next

1049
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: the actor added an extra week. This year they play

1050
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: seventeen games. Now they're adding games when the NBA should be.

1051
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 4: Subtrading because All Star weekend is usually Valentine's we hate,

1052
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 4: but not this year. It's a week later.

1053
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: Love for us.

1054
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 4: Okay, So you got a Zach Levine, we got a

1055
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 4: Desmond Bean, we got a you're going Patty? Of course,

1056
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 4: I guess I have to go Freddy, give me from Fleet.

1057
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 4: This guy's on fire too. He could win it, but

1058
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 4: you said it. I'm like, I can't picture him in

1059
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 4: this type of contest. I don't know what it is like,

1060
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 4: you know, we're just pulling off a rack.

1061
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 6: I can.

1062
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 5: I think he'll actually hit both of his doubles because

1063
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 5: that's sort of what I just imagine with Freddy, you know,

1064
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 5: like a little bit more time to really.

1065
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 4: Those are big. Yeah, those are big. Okay, let's hear

1066
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 4: from everybody in the stream team, let's hear from the

1067
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,040

Speaker 1: And we'll be here watching it live.

1070
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 4: Is that the plan? Yeah, so it's the Big Show.

1071
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 5: Well, it's the dow Zone.

1072
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: There you go.

1073
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 4: So the plan is on All Star Saturday Night, we're

1074
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 4: gonna do like a basically a watch party.

1075
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. We're always together on Saturday Nights usually.

1076
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 4: That's why I wish it was Valentine's Day.

1077
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: Still, yes, yeah, each other's uh yeah, I was gonna

Speaker 1: say friends have slowed down, but he's still hitting shots.

1079
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 4: Okay. So then we also have the All Star Saturday

1080
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 4: Night Skills Challenge Field. This one brought to you by

1081

Speaker 4: a Taco Bell, and we got a new format to

1082
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 4: this because we got three teams of three players. They're

1083
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,479
Speaker 4: going to participate in a four round competition that will

1084
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 4: still test shooting and passing and dribbling and all that.

1085
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 4: But we got Team Calves Jared Allen, Darius Garland, and

1086
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 4: Evan Mobley. We got Team Out to do combos, which

1087
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 4: is amazing. We got Giannis Nasi's and then Alex who's

1088
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 4: not even in the league. He's playing for the Raptors

1089
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 4: nine five Team's Chili, which is fine. And then we

1090
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 4: have h he's a champion, though they're all champions, aren't they. Yeah,

1091
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 4: And then we got Team Rooks, which is Scotty Barnes,

1092
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 4: Kate Cunning and Josh Diddy. So this is definitely different.

1093
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 4: I tried reading like the whole new format. Like again,

1094
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,720
Speaker 4: it's four different things. There's gonna be this like shooting

1095
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 4: thing where you're trying to get these like points. Then

1096
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 4: there's a passing thing, Then there's a relay thing, which

1097
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 4: is more of the traditional skills challenge that we know,

1098
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 4: and then whoever, like the top two teams are that

1099
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 4: go to the finals. They're basically having a half court competition.

1100
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 4: So hell yeah, they are very, very weird, and that

1101
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 4: will determine the Taco Bell Skills Challenge winner, which will

1102
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 4: be a team. But Trey, what do you think of

1103
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 4: this wrinkle here?

1104
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 2: I love it?

1105
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 6: This is so good? Are you kidding men?

1106
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 7: This is gonna be the best event of All Star

1107
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 7: Saturday Night.

1108
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 1: Wow.

1109
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's gonna be great. No one cares

1110
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 7: about the Skills Challenge. There's no historical ties to it,

1111
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 7: so they change it all the time, and honestly, I

1112
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 7: think that's how it should be. I love the do

1113
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 7: balls as soon as they added like the whole rack

1114
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 7: of moneyballs. Who cares about the points? The points are

1115
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 7: all messed up. Who cares about points? Who cares about

1116
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 7: what happened thirty years ago? We're talking about what?

1117
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 4: But those are like different shots fundamentally, I guess is

1118
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 4: my issue. You're right they changed the point difference on

1119
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 4: the balls, but they're still at the three point line.

1120
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 4: It's still a rack there.

1121
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 7: But I mean, if somebody wanted to be a baller,

1122
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 7: they could shoot from five feet out and put their

1123
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 7: racks five feet out and shoot every shot five ft o.

1124
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 7: That would be awesome. Somebody should do that. If you

1125
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 7: want to be a cool guy in the three point contest.

1126
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 6: You should do that.

1127
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 7: Okay, But This is going to be awesome because it

1128
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 7: comes down to a half court shot at the end. YEP,

1129
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 7: that's what the NBA has been missing since they got

1130
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 7: rid of the Shooting Stars competition. Half court shots are awesome,

1131
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 7: and you can tell because if it ends up a tie,

1132
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 7: nobody makes it. They're just doing it again. Yeah, they're

1133
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 7: like everybody wants to see half court shots. I love

1134
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 7: half court shots. Okay, so I'm big time on this.

1135
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 7: The Calves are going to win, guaranteed.

1136
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 4: Lock it in.

1137
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, lock it in. They have the best guard out there.

1138
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 7: There's gonna be a lot of shooting and passing, and

1139
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 7: they're the only one that has an All Star guard.

1140
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 6: So give me the Caves. Yeah.

1141
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: I think this adds a little juice to it. This

1142
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: is great. Yeah, maybe you're standing for the traditional skills.

1143
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm not. I was back to the three

1144
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 4: point contest and he brought up due balls, which but no,

1145
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 4: this on fine. I mean, look, I don't.

1146
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: Change it, nobody cares. But but yeah, the bros are

1147
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: playing together, the Caves are playing together, so it adds

1148
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: a little juice. I think they will. I think being

1149
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: on a team adds a little bit of want to

1150
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: this thing.

1151
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,720
Speaker 4: Because I don't care different sort of competitions because it's like, again,

1152
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 4: these aren't all happening at one time, like we just

1153
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 4: do that weird relay that's one of them. But there's

1154
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 4: literally like a thirty second clock where you shoot and

1155
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 4: your other guy's got a rebound for you. You just

1156
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 4: got to put up points. And then the passing there's

1157
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 4: like these moving targets apparently that you got to like

1158
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 4: hit them. So that to me is like a QB

1159
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 4: challenge or something like that, and it's like, Okay, I

1160
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 4: like that. I'm a fan of that.

1161
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm I'm definitely backing the Edita kub Bros.

1162
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: That hashtag. There's a hashtag Edita kub Bros. They always

1163
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: hashtag each other's stuff, so got to back them. I

1164
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: got to correct you though. Kostas won the championship with

1165
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: the oh not Alex.

1166
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.

1167
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: Alex is the man though his middle name a Mecca.

1168
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: That's a cool man, Alex. Yeah, and I love me

1169
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: some Mecca course. So I'm back in the Coubros sure.

1170
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 4: So and so well, the fourth brother will just be

1171
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 4: cheering them.

1172
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not there. Keep playing in France of the family.

1173
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: That's the fourth. I mean, yeah, he's playing in France,

1174
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: I think, okay, and then there's the Francis who plays

1175
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: soccer and yeah, anyways, by.

1176
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 5: Well you pumped for this, Yeah, call me. Taylor is

1177
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 5: on gun with Team Rooks here, I've got to I mean.

1178
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 4: Josh, sorry, buddy, No one's ever gonna mistake you, Taylor.

1179
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they keep trying things, so why not.

1180
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 5: Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. I think this will

1181
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 5: be one. Actually we overlooked because we tend to do that.

1182
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 5: Of course, that's when you're getting your pizza ready, that's

1183
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 5: when you're getting yourself ready for the for the other

1184
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 5: events for the night. But yeah, they keep trying things.

1185
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 5: That's fine. Bring back the Shooting Stars, bring by Chris

1186
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 5: bosh Man.

1187
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 7: He was they got back like they brought back every

1188
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 7: third event in All Star Weekend. For this, the team

1189
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 7: shooting Round one. That's two ball. That's what it's gonna be.

1190
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 7: I mean, it's gonna technically be one ball with three players,

1191
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 7: but if you had to have to fourvite two, it's

1192
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 7: still two ball. If you ask me the passing, like

1193
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 7: you're saying, that's that's a sort of new one. The

1194
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 7: team relay is what they've always done, though, I do

1195
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 7: like this. They have to make a three pointer from

1196
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 7: the corner against an automated defender.

1197
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 4: Maybe it's that robot.

1198
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Robot's gonna be there.

1199
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1200
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 7: I like that, and then the half court shot like

1201
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 7: they got from the shooting stuff. Yeah, I think it's great.

1202
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 7: The funniest thing to me, though, is that the first

1203
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 7: two rounds are worth one hundred Challenge points. Yeah, just

1204
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 7: give them one point, like, yeah, they don't need to

1205
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 7: be hundreds multiples of the hundreds.

1206
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 6: What is this, Hogwarts?

1207
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 4: I can't believe there's because it's Taco Bell, Like it's

1208
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 4: not like bonus burrito points or stuff like that. Like

1209
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 4: they usually do that point with Mountain Dew in their

1210
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 4: due zone. Taco Bell, Yeah, should we should?

1211
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 7: We have to watching the name whoever sponsors it is

1212
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 7: what we're doing.

1213
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lee, It's gonna basically be a pick and payoff

1214
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 4: for you. We're reading Taco Bell during the Taco Bell

1215
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 4: Skills Challenge and we're chucking nothing but Mountain Dew straight

1216
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 4: and then we're on our phones.

Speaker 1: and a half.

1247

Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ten and a half.

1248
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 4: Wow, Yeah, all the prop bets that's a lot.

1249
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: But it's like two per person. Eli.

1250
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 3: I mean we've taught we I don't know if we

1251
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,919
Speaker 3: talked about it on the air, but we definitely talked

1252
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 3: about it in this room. So Trey watched the three

1253
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 3: minute trailer and he was like, all right, I'm getting excited.

1254
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 2: Remember we talked.

1255
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 5: About It's the NFL is just not on my like

1256
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 5: right r at all. So but this is like this

1257
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,919
Speaker 5: is like pop culture. Yeah, but it's I mean, it's

1258
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 5: get around the like the biggest fo ball event, which

1259
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 5: I just don't That's what I've been down here, what

1260
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 5: eight years? All of us are nine years football. I

1261
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 5: just can't get into it. I just don't. I watched

1262
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 5: a guy I went to a game. I got tickets

1263
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 5: to a Falcons game against someone earlier this season. All right, yeah,

1264
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 5: you know, goes out there, the guy kicks it, another

1265
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 5: guy catches it. They stop and they're just walking off

1266
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 5: the field. I'm like, why it just run with the

1267
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 5: ball and from now on, from now on, if someone

1268
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 5: loses possession, it's a live ball. That annoys the hell

1269
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 5: out of me when the quarterback throws a guy drops

1270
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 5: it and it's like, stop, just make it play on.

1271
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 5: Someone picked the ball up and just.

1272
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 4: Sports high energy, high high team like cricket namties.

1273
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 5: No, but I just I just I just find like

1274
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 5: And then there was another guy, right, I know, this

1275
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 5: is a big part of football. The guy's running in

1276
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 5: this direction, the quarterback throws it to him, he catches it.

1277
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 5: The guy running full steam in the opposite direction. The

1278
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 5: guy running this way had no chance of seeing him,

1279
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 5: smashes him. Basically, I'm like, guy could be dead. I mean,

1280
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 5: and everyone's high fiving the guy. It's like, what what

1281
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 5: did that take from the guy who was running? The

1282
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 5: other guy's distracted and you just smashed into him as

1283
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 5: hard as you can, and everyone's going, what a what

1284
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 5: a defensive play. It's like the other guy had no

1285
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 5: hope none. You just line this guy up to go

1286
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 5: straight at his head and you did. I just I

1287
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 5: was like, I don't I don't get that.

1288
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't get that called fair catch. I guess right,

1289
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: we're talking a punter.

1290
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,319
Speaker 5: No, it wasn't a punt. This was the quarterback throwing

1291
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 5: to it, by the way, setting up his own teammate

1292
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 5: there as well.

1293
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 4: Did you run a here?

1294
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 5: The guy is running like this, and then the other

1295
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 5: guy just came from the other direction. I'm like, wow, man.

1296
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: Well I heard that Doctor dre m and m Mary

1297
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: J and Ketrick Lamar will be playing by your rules.

1298
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,839
Speaker 1: They will be passing it to each other. They'll never

1299
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: be a stopage play, even if the ball falls down.

1300
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 5: I'm telling you though, that that's the part of it

1301
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 5: that drives me crazy. Like an incompletion or a or

1302
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 5: a fumble or whatever, and it's a.

1303
00:56:55,920 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: Dead boy dead time the game. They're trying to speed

1304
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 1: it up.

1305
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 7: Great for scrolling. Maybe that's why it's the most popular

1306
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 7: sport in America, But well, look at your phone for

1307
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 7: thirty seconds at a time before things happened.

1308
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 5: That That was the other thing. I was looking around.

1309
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 5: Nobody's watching the game. People are talking, they're drinking, they're

1310
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 5: having fun like that. But because the game doesn't distract you,

1311
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 5: it's like there's a stop all the time. The longest

1312
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 5: I think it went without a stop was like eight seconds,

1313
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 5: and then it's a stop.

1314
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: Sounds like a good old baseball Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

1315
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 5: I just find it that that's the part of it.

1316
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 5: For me, there's far too many stop starts to sort

1317
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 5: of keep you going.

1318
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 2: It sounds like the end of an NBA game to me.

1319
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 5: I mean, but that's it, you know, people.

1320
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 4: Sounds like a no Dunts podcast right now. Let's stop

1321
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 4: start here a little tangent. Okay, so you're not watching

1322
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 4: the super Bowl. You might watch the halftime show. Yeah,

1323
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 4: I gotta drink Pepsi throughout the entire half. Oh, we

1324
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 4: got back, Jennie's got Twitter and we've got picking res

1325
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 4: still go anywhere. Okay, let's get to tweet of the night.

1326
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: Tweet of the night. Wow.

1327
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 3: Yes, very excited about this tweet of the night, because

1328
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 3: you guys came through last second, the very literally ten

1329
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 3: minutes before the show. And uh, the first one, I

1330
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 3: got a couple here. The first one comes from our

1331
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 3: own Trey Herbie, and uh, it was just a tweet

1332
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 3: from last night of a man who used to play

1333
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 3: in the NBA. I believe his name was Iverson. And

1334
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 3: here he is in just enjoying some popcorst. He's happy,

1335
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 3: he is really really enjoying the popcorn. Now, you guys

1336
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 3: were speculating that perhaps he was enjoying more than just popular.

1337
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 7: Hell yeah, little Herb Jones as damn, that's how I

1338
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 7: watch games every night.

1339
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 6: That's what.

1340
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 4: I thought.

1341
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 7: I was looking into a mirror when I saw this

1342
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 7: on my phone. Popcorn you can eat a lot of

1343
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 7: it at night and not feel bad. So yeah, just

1344
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 7: a little tip for you out there. That's true.

1345
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 5: Good fighter. Okay.

1346
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 3: The second one is for Lee. This is from Variety Magazine.

1347
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 3: Ah yeah, and uh oscar nominations last week. Well, sorry, yesterday,

1348
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 3: we're we're announced in Jane Campion nominated for uh directing

1349
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 3: an awful, awful movie that I haven't even finished watching it.

1350
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 3: But anyways, there's no dinner at the Oscars, so Jane

1351
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 3: Campion has already planned the snack she's sneaking in. I'm

1352
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 3: thinking carrots. I'm crazy about steamed carrots, but it's probably

1353
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 3: gonna be raw carrots. So Lee, I mean thoughts, Yeah.

1354
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 5: I mean, I wouldn't say I'm crazy about any card,

1355
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 5: but I just do prefer the young cook character the

1356
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 5: steam version. Jane's onto something there. But weird that they're

1357
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 5: not feeding them, isn't it.

1358
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 2: No, there's never really, I don't think. So they feed

1359
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 2: them at the Golden Globs.

1360
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 5: Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.

1361
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, it's just a theater experience. I

1362
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 3: don't even know if they have a snack bar. I

1363
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 3: guess they're I don't know. I don't know what's going

1364
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 3: on in California. Probably have a host this year, no idea,

1365
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 3: no clue, no idea.

1366
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 5: Maybe's doctor Drake.

1367
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 2: That'd be cool, that'd be cool.

1368
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 5: They're all out there for the super Bowl, so maybe

1369
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 5: they could just go and through the.

1370
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: They're out there all the time, they live out there,

1371
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: so don't go.

1372
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 2: And you know, one more or more. It's not really

1373
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 2: a it's not well what am I?

1374
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 3: It's not a tweet or anything like that, but it's

1375
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: a YouTube comment that really got might dander up. And

1376
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 3: usually usually I don't let these things get under my skin,

1377
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 3: but this. Derek commented on yesterday's show that we got it.

1378
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 3: We just got this brand new desk, you know, and

1379
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 3: it solved some sound problems in here.

1380
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Anyway. The comment says, jad.

1381
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 3: Get that black foam in the corner painted the same

1382
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 3: purple color.

1383
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 2: Spelled correctly, So respect Derek.

1384
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 3: Or remove it. Studio looked better without the foam, and

1385
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 3: sound benefit is not noticeable now that how do you know, Derek,

1386
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 3: you're not in here. You I'm wandering around this garage, clapping,

1387
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 3: going trying to hear the sibilants sibilants. Does it make

1388
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 3: a difference.

1389
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1390
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 3: Like, we got the desk and I was like, hey, yeah,

1391
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 3: you know, uh, maybe it's time to get rid of

1392
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 3: the uh the foam in the back because it was

1393
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 3: temporary and it was just trying to figure out what

1394
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 3: was going on. It was a problem with the sound.

1395
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 3: By the way, We've got way.

1396
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 2: Bigger fish to fry than that ship in the back.

1397
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Derek, I think he's right.

1398
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's right. I think we should take

1399
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 4: it down.

1400
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm not I don't disagree, but uh, we're not taking

1401
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 3: it down now.

1402
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: We're naming it.

1403
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 2: We named the table.

1404
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 4: This is Charles Charles, Charles, Charles Oakley.

1405
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Meet Derek in the corner. So it'll stay up there

1406
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 2: until I'm no longer annoyed.

1407
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 5: Spot phone.

1408
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's add more, just phone this whole place.

1409
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 5: I can't tell that Jada actually thinks it's like a

1410
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,959
Speaker 5: good suggestion and he didn't think of it, so that's

1411
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 5: why he's fewing.

1412
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 3: No, it's not that it's it's the he's pissed with

1413
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 3: you by the way, Oh you shared this, that's right,

1414
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 3: you just drop it in there.

1415
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 4: Comment from Derek.

1416
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 5: I just thought, hey, maybe listen, you just listen to

1417
01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 5: what some of the fans have to say, because maybe

1418
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 5: they might that they're super sensitive about. But then after

1419
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 5: I put it on, I thought, J does get a

1420
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 5: bit sensitive.

1421
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't.

1422
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 2: I actually don't. I like feedback.

1423
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I like hearing. But that's the thing.

1424
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 5: Now, it's like, what if someone else makes a suggestion,

1425
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 5: It's like, well, someone else can give it the jet

1426
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 5: I wanted.

1427
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: To be like that.

1428
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:21,919
Speaker 2: Now now I like it.

1429
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 4: Oh wait, hold on, we got a suggestion here, please

1430
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 4: get Weelli's off of the show.

1431
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 2: The guy did j d underscore no do anyway tweeter

1432
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 2: the night.

1433
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 6: There you go.

1434
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 5: So fans make suggestions, don't make suggestion.

1435
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: Make suggestions. I enjoy the suggestions.

1436
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 3: This is the part is the second part of it

1437
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 3: that the last part of it is just like it

1438
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 3: doesn't make a difference.

1439
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 2: You don't know, Derek.

1440
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 3: You send me a clip with the phone and without

1441
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 3: the phone and point out to me the difference, and

1442
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 3: I will point out that it is making a difference.

1443
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 2: So relax, Derek.

1444
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 4: Picking results last night Celtics and Nets. Boston was favored

1445
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 4: by five and a half and they covered that in

1446
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 4: the first eighty seconds or some of this game and

1447
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 4: held onto that lead. And so that's a win for

1448
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 4: me and Leley taking the Bean Town Boys. So good

1449
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 4: stuff from us. We're four and two. Trey had Brooklyn,

1450
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 4: he falls two four and too, so we got three

1451
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 4: way tie for first, but that doesn't really matter. You

1452
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 4: don't want to be last. And Tasks still pitching the

1453
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 4: quote unquote perfect game here in February because Task had

1454
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 4: the Nets lost again ozho and six here in the month,

1455
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 4: and you're trying to do the impossible, which is to

1456
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 4: go first. You could not get one right, which no

1457
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 4: way you can't do.

1458
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 1: It's never been done, never been done done. We shall see.

1459
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: You've got an ESPN doubleheader tonight, Bulls Hornets followed by

1460
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Warriors Jazz, and that's what we're picking. The Warriors visiting Utah,

1461
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: Utah two and a half point favorite. I think I'm

1462
01:04:58,280 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: on the right side here picking with the Golden State

1463
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Warriors along with Trey. You guys are taking the home Jazz.

1464
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Lee, Why are you taking Utah, they've played

1465
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 4: a little bit better.

1466
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 5: Lightly honestly, a line that small, it's a bit of

1467
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 5: a flip side could go by the way I just

1468
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 5: went with the home team.

1469
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 8: Jazz not on the back to back here knows, not

1470
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 8: as good at home this year. However, the Warriors also

1471
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 8: not just strawing it on the road this year, so

1472
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 8: they're playing.

1473
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: It'll be a good match on the ESPN. We're not

1474
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: going to get as many duds as we did.

1475
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, six games. Hopefully we get some close games.

1476
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 4: We'll be talking about those, and we'll be talking about

1477
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 4: hopefully some more trades, be it later today if something

1478
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 4: goes down, or tomorrow morning. So the plan tomorrow is

1479
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 4: like we're all getting in here to the Classic Factory.

1480
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 4: We're just hunkering down.

1481
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: We're taking down the phone just kidding.

1482
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 4: We're adding more foam. We're having a phone party, phone

1483
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 4: party as we sort of lead up to the trade deadline,

1484
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 4: which is in the afternoon. You're saying it's three pm Eastern.

1485
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,479
Speaker 1: Is that correct? That's what the internet says.

1486
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 4: Yes, Okay, So I think we'll just lock in doing

1487
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:09,000
Speaker 4: a show at ten am Eastern right in the morning

1488
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 4: because we have games we can just do something like

1489
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 4: jump on no matter what's happening, yeah, and then play

1490
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 4: it by ear As deals start trickling in, we'll flip

1491
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 4: on the cameras, flip on the mics, and do a

1492
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 4: little reactionary podcast to those deals, trade grades and stuff

1493
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 4: like that. So the plan is you're gonna be with
