1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: I read an article in the New York Times today

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: that said that videos that are made in the bathroom

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: mirror are more likely to go viral than videos that

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: are not. So here's what I'm doing, making videos in

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: the bathroom mirror, and here's what I have to say.

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler deserved an OSCAR nomination.

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,000

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: to pick from because the New York Knicks, my man,

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: Holy moly, guys, what was the most embarrassing Nick moment

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: from Wednesday night? Your options are losing by twenty one

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: at home to the Grizzlies, or Elfred Peyton shoving j

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: Crowder out of frustration and getting tossed, or the MSG

42
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: crowd chanting sell the team to James Dolan or Marcus

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: Morris's postgame comments, We've got him here.

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 6: Oh things are build though, Man, I think dude is

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 6: just a lot of female tendencies on the court, flopping

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 6: and throwing his head back the entire game. Like I said, Man,

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 6: it's a man's game and you just get tired of it.

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 6: Obviously at the end, I was very unprofessional. They win

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 6: in the game. It's a good team and it is

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 6: what it is. But when you step back and shoot

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 6: a three, you know what I'm saying and try to

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 6: you know, both key like revidend that they're winning. You know,

53
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 6: it's just unprofessional. Man, that's soft. His game is soft.

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 6: He's soft. It's how he carried man. You know, it's

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 6: just very woman like.

56
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: Or yes there's one more, or the visiting teams shower

57
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: having no hot water. According to John Morant, you've got

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: five to pick from the most embarrassing Nix moment, from

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: just a simple Wednesday night in January. What you got.

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 5: I don't think we've ever had five choices in the mix,

61
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: especially coming from a single game.

62
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 4: So you know I have equal choices. I will say, Yeah,

63
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: let's tough.

64
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all pretty embarrassing in their in their own regards.

65
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 5: You're right, Morris's comments though, are by far the most embarrassing,

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 5: because those are embarrassing from a life perspective rather than

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 5: just a basketball perspective. To hear the words coming out

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 5: of his mouth this week, when things like girl Dad

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: were trending, when we uh, when everybody seemed to be

70
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: invested in Kobe Bryant's investing in the in the women's game,

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: to to hear this from Marcus Morris is honestly not

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: super surprising. He definitely seems like a guy with some

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: retrograde opinions on things like this, But I'm honestly just

74
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: foolish and embarrassing.

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: Yes, the thing about as he said the first one

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: and you thought okay, But then he had plenty of

77
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: time to gather himself and he reiterated it, sort of

78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: doubled down at the end. Now, he did issue a

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: tweet apology afterwards, but still that this sort of stuff

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: we have to like just get out of society. This

81
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: is just unacceptable, completely unacceptable. It's appalling, it's disgraceful, and

82
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: he he should be deeply ashamed of himself because I

83
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: thought as a society we were getting past this, like

84
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: derogatory stuff that you know, hey, if you're doing something bad,

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: it's you're being like a girl. That's just absurd that

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: people still use those comments. And and again the fact

87
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: that he said it once and then made sure that

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: he sort of emphasized that it again is just it's

89
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: just disgusting and embarrassing, and honestly, he needs to be disciplined.

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: I think for that, I really think he should be

91
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: suspended for a game to send the message to say

92
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: we're not doing this anymore, guys, and the Knicks should

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: take the lead on that and say we're gonna this

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 4: is this is detrimental to the team. We're going to

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: suspend him for a game because honestly, it's just there

96
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 4: is no way in the world, under any circumstances that

97
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: is acceptable.

98
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so look, tax isn't gonna be here, likely on

99
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: Friday on drop podcast when he does Worse of the Week,

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: But we can just go ahead and hand it to

101
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: Marcus Morris right now for those misogynistic comments postgame or

102
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 3: the Knicks in general. I think Schumann said maybe, yeah,

103
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: you got to give him one, two and three if

104
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: they got the gold over around the bronze this week,

105
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 3: so that's the done deal.

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 5: The only good part about it was seeing like every

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 5: WNBA player dunk on him afterwards. Lez Cambaige. She says,

108
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 5: female tendencies wins games though, and just hearing all of

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 5: them talk trash to Marcus Morrissey and those tweets come across,

110
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: that was cool.

111
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: It is wild to think too, Marcus morris might be

112
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: the leader of the Knicks, the best player on the Knicks,

113
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: not that that matters at all, whether it's the twelfth

114
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: guy on the bench or the first guy or your

115
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: star player you want to call him that saying these comments,

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: but you know what I mean, it's like, man, you're

117
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: like actually sort of the face of the franchise, which

118
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: I mean explains everything when New York Knicks right now.

119
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: But what did you think though about the whole Peyton

120
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: pushing Crowder. Look, they're the Grizzlies are killing them, They're

121
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: up huge, the game is over. It's the unwritten rule.

122
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: We talk about this every couple of months. I have

123
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: been doing this podcast for nearly fifteen years. This incident

124
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: has come up every few months, this exact thing where

125
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: a team is up big and then someone again the

126
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: unwritten rule. They sort of play too hard. They like

127
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: run up the score and then there's retaliation or comments

128
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: after the game. This is nothing new, It happens all

129
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: the time. But what did you think about this one?

130
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: In particular Crowder going for the steal, shooting the three,

131
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: and how Peyton reacted because Peyton said he do it again.

132
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: He said I would do it again. You don't do that.

133
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: What's your take on it?

134
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: Well, Peyton's wrong because there's forty eight seconds ago. The

135
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: unwritten rule doesn't extend to beyond twenty four seconds. The

136
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: unwritten rule is basically once the other team concedes, when

137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 4: there's no when there's one shot clock violation remaining, that's

138
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 4: when perhaps you don't up forty eight seconds ago on

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 4: a carelessly lazy inbounds pass. You're being embarrassed already, you

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 4: deserve to be more embarrassed by that, And for Peyton

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: to come over and shove him like that makes him

142
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: out to be even worse. Pay attention. Play the game,

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 4: play hard. I mean, if there's five seconds to go, okay,

144
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: you don't need to do that. Fifty seconds left that

145
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: I mean, that's enough time that the other team's like,

146
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: you know what if you're not gonna defend. If you're

147
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: not even gonna try, then you deserve to be humiliated.

148
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 4: I don't think the Nicks or Peyton have any claim

149
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: on this at all whatsoever.

150
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: And like you're saying, skeetz, it happens all the time,

151
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: but a lot of the time it's just getting in

152
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: each other's faces and you know, like you're saying comments

153
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: after the game, or maybe somebody will just give you

154
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 5: a nasty bump. This was dangerous, Like this was a

155
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 5: fall on push to a defenseless guy into empty chairs.

156
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 5: This was more dangerous than you know. Kyrie Irving getting

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: mad at Jamal Murray for shooting late in the game.

158
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess on one hand, you oddly like to

159
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: see a little fire from this team that is a

160
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: joke and got blown out again at home and the

161
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: crowd is chanting sell the team to Dolan. I don't

162
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: mind that. Like if you if you take so much

163
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: offense with the way Crowder played that at the final

164
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: minute being up so big, then yeah, okay, you know,

165
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: play with a little fight. You're right, Trey, I hear you.

166
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean a little dangerous, no doubt. But it's it's like,

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: why don't you do that for the first forty seven

168
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: minutes and ten seconds of the damn game. Guys through

169
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 3: it a lot earlier than this. I get you're embarrassed

170
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: and you're feeling punked, and then you think they're just

171
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: you know, rubbing salt in the wound. But yeah, look,

172
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: I will I will say I don't mind Peyton's in

173
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: when asked about it after the game, I would do

174
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: it again. I would do it again because you just,

175
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: in his opinion, you just don't do that, you really do.

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: So he's made that line in his head. And again

177
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 3: he's not the first to have this unwritten rule.

178
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: But again, come on, forty eight seconds, no one, No

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: one stops playing, forty eight seconds to go, No one

180
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 4: concedes that far out.

181
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: I think, well, maybe you're right.

182
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: Never I've never seen an NBA team just give up

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: with basically two shot clock. You know, what do you

184
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: call it? Shut clock?

185
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: Possession possessions?

186
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, no one does that. It's that last one. It's

187
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: last week. I think it's twenty three seconds, and it's like,

188
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: all right, you're the other team is conceded. You just

189
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: dribbled the clock out.

190
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think what Peton's upset about truly is the

191
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: idea of like you don't you don't also press us

192
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: or whatever play rest. I mean, you know what I mean,

193
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Well, this is what he's

194
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: saying this. Come on, yeah, I'm just saying this what

195
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 3: he's thinking. You're up eating the game is over. You

196
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: agree with that the game was over? Okay, game's over?

197
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: So hey, crowd, or why are you trying to steal

198
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: the inbound past? What he's thinking?

199
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 4: But you know, Randall throws it in and they're not

200
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: even paying attention.

201
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: I know it's it's embarrassed and he was and this

202
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: is what the crowd is just saying.

203
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: All right, you guys, you guys are more pathetic than

204
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 4: anyone right now. And I'm just going to highlight that

205
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 4: even more. I have no issue at all with what

206
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 4: crowded in. The Knicks are just beyond a joke at

207
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: this point.

208
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, they really are. James Dlan wasn't was he an

209
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: intendance when all this was going on the Solar team? Okay,

210
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: I didn't.

211
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 5: He laughed to go turn the water off. Oh that's

212
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 5: what everybody was saying. I want to say last night.

213
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 3: I mean, you joke about that, but man, could there

214
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: be some truth to it.

215
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why, Like on this list of five choices,

216
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 5: no hot water was very last for me because I

217
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 5: actually think it's kind of awesome. Like if you own

218
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 5: the team and your team gets blown out in your

219
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 5: mad shut off the water.

220
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: That one. I'm with James Dolan. That's a smooth move.

221
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: I shout have taken a cold shower too, especially after

222
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: you know, going for a run or playing ball or

223
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: something like that. You gotta have that warmth.

224
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: Gotta have that.

225
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: I can't stand that's more.

226
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: You know, that's just sort of petty and silly, rather

227
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: humiliating and shameful.

228
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's a it's it's it's Morris's comments, no doubt.

229
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: And then it sounds like you, guys, if you're putting

230
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: it in order, maybe it is the Peyton shoven crowder

231
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: and going nuts.

232
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just that's just tough guys stuff. That's

233
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 5: Elfred Peyton becoming a New York Knicks legend, you know,

234
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 5: protecting the garden.

235
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, protecting the garden as the day.

236
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: Twenty years that's the crowd. I mean, I tweeted last

237
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: night one of the Knicks coming through for the NBA

238
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: content creators for the blog boys and the podcasters, like, look,

239
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 3: we'll start the show with the Knicks getting embarrassed by

240
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: John Moran and the Grizzlies who dine.

241
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: The association last week or I guess two weeks ago

242
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 5: and I said they're irrelevant, they're relevant right now.

243
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so trending upwards, I suppose for all the wrong reasons. Yes,

244
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: and the Grizzlies. Yeah, back to five hundred and played great.

245
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: You know, John Morant a couple I don't know what

246
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: two or three, you know, more incredible highlights to add

247
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: to the mix.

248
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: That one with the left hand where I don't think

249
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 4: the ball went to his right hand at all, He

250
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: just kind of like food his defender went into the

251
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: paint and sort of like used his other arm just

252
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: to lay it up. Yeah, just incredible.

253
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: I like the ones now where he jumps in the

254
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: air because again I'm not really sure he knows what

255
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: he's gonna do. When he does it takes sort of

256
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: the hit, but then can with his long limbs like

257
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: sort of just scoop it around the guy because he

258
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 3: had a number one of those two. God, those looks

259
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: so cool. And slow mo too, so Yeah, big victory.

260
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: In twenty eight minutes. Moran had eighteen points in Tennessee's

261
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: on third in was a plus forty two.

262
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: Plus forty five.

263
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: Again, that's pretty good.

264
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: Ridiculous, really, isn't it for a rookie?

265
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: All Right, So next one here, let's keep it moving.

266
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 3: More impressive home win the Spurs or the Blazers from

267
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 3: Wednesday night, Spurs beat the Jazz one twenty seven to

268
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: one to twenty and you had the Blazers beating the

269
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: Rockets one twenty five to one to eleven. So what

270
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 3: you got more impressive homewin.

271
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: I'm going with the Spurs because they haven't been very

272
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: good this season.

273
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start doing that.

274
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: They haven't been very good. That's this season at home,

275
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 4: and the Jazz have got that vaunted defense that we

276
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: talk about all the time. And the Spurs ran up

277
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 4: an easy one hundred and twenty seven points on without Oldrich.

278
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: Without LaMarcus orders jams messing another one with the spring thumb. Yeah, no,

279
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: I think I lean towards this one as well.

280
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, two strange losses really in a row for the Jazz.

281
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: They lost to the Bulls on Monday night. Now, look,

282
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: look the Spurs are still a good team. They're not

283
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: the Bulls, but the Spurs lately, we just haven't seen.

284
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: Jazz last of the Rockets. Spurs lost to the Balls.

285
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry, sorry, that's right, right, I know, a fact checked.

286
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't don't take my wins away, man, don't take

287
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 5: my moles wins away.

288
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 4: But the one thing about San Antonio this season is

289
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: their offense hasn't flowed as well as we've seen in

290
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: the past. But I thought the bull was feezing around

291
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: rather well last night. Patty was very good off the

292
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: bench for them. But DeRozan, Yeah, thirty eight points in

293
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 4: the classic Derozen living for nineteen from the field, sixteen

294
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 4: for nineteen from the line.

295
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: Did you see some of these shots he was hitting

296
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: to ice this game too, down the stretch, goodness, going

297
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: to that baseline fade away jumper. He at two of

298
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 3: those in the final three minutes to help steal this victory.

299
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: I'm sure he was loving it. It was a Kobe

300
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 5: style performance. He really willed the team to victory, and

301
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: the way he was doing it was quite Kobe like.

302
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 5: Thirteen free throws in the second half, and he was

303
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 5: hitting the nice turnarounds down the stretch in the fourth quarter,

304
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 5: but he also kept getting to the line. I thought

305
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 5: that was impressive with Noel Aldridge, It's like, I got

306
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: to do this, and he went out and did it

307
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: against the Jazz team that has been playing really well,

308
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 5: has been one of the hottest teams in the league

309
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 5: for the past two months.

310
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're leaning towards this season as well. Yeah,

311
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: and it snapped the Spurs three game losing streak too,

312
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 3: And you know they're they're trying to make the playoffs here,

313
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: they're trying to chase the Grizzlies, who are are five

314
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: hundred in the eighth spot, and then it is the

315
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: Spurs and the Blazers who get obviously a much needed

316
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: to win, and the and the Suns are right there.

317
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: The Spurs, by the way, they host Charlotte on Saturday

318
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: before they go on their annual Rodeo road trip. This

319
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: season's trip eight games in five states over twenty days.

320
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's over the All Star Break. I get that,

321
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: so there's obviously a little bit of a gap there,

322
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: but that's a that is wild that they do this

323
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: every year.

324
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a pretty good record though with it.

325
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: I know wasn't it last year was one of the

326
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: first times they'd.

327
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: A bad one.

328
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, the usually you're right put it, you know, sort

329
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: of come together, string a lot of wins together over

330
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: these things. Blazers, though, let's give them a little love.

331
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 3: Beating the Rockets. Damian Lillard's first career triple double surprising,

332
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: big time surprising. Like he's played for eight seasons now.

333
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,479
Speaker 2: And he's all in just that time.

334
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: You know, obviously gets a ton of assists and that

335
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: does the scoring. Okay, yeah, yeah, that's a weird one

336
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: that he's just hadn't fallen into one of those before.

337
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: But thirty six points, eleven assists and ten boards, he

338
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: got it. He was seeking it too, He's like got

339
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: to get that Ted Tho. His guys are like, no,

340
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: you've got to get one of these under your belt.

341
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: So they got it done, and they were down like

342
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: really really early in this game. It looked like the Rockets,

343
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: you know, Westbrook Dame, we know that, and that's a

344
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 3: lot of fun. But then they just reeled off like

345
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: a huge run and sort of just that never really

346
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: relinquished the lead once they got it.

347
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dame hit a couple of classic Diame threes as well.

348
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: Holy hell, those were deep. Yeah, those are bombs this man.

349
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 5: Two of them that were like, come on, I do

350
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: feel like the Blazers made their fiftieth anniversary logo really big,

351
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 5: so a lot of lard shots, but these are still

352
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 5: thirty plus feet. Yeah, and he's I mean, he's money.

353
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: Steph Curry has been out all year, so if you're

354
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 5: talking about it, extreme distance shooter Damian Lillard is the

355
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: best in the game right now, and just for the

356
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: past two weeks, he's the best player in the game

357
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 5: right now. He's saying, please send me to Chicago, don't

358
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 5: forget about me.

359
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you see, I think it was on that

360
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: second one from real Date. The defender's kind of like

361
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: off him, but he's like, I think I'm gonna have

362
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 4: to get up on you right, makes it leaves it

363
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 4: too like and literally just knocks it in there again.

364
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, he's Uh, this season's a weird season

365
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: because he's been great. He's going to the old Stag

366
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 4: game for sure. Player over the way. You mentioned that

367
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: he's putting up enormous numbers. But will they even make

368
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 4: the playoffs? Right, It's not.

369
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: Gonna be easy, No, it's it's not gonna be easy.

370
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I heard Big Wa was talking on the

371
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: ding this morning too. Though it is wild like if

372
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: the Blazers had I mean, even if they're five hundred,

373
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: let's say, or a couple of games about five hundred

374
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: at this point, Lillard would be in MVP conversation. I mean,

375
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: I think is still clearly running away with it with

376
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: how great the Bucks have been and how unbelievable he's

377
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: been in limited time when he's barely even needed out.

378
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: There's very kurry like right where he was not having

379
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: to play forty minutes a game or stuff like that,

380
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: but he would be right there. And he's like, we

381
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: don't like, it's cool as getting the Accolades Player of

382
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: the week. He's gonna be an all start, He'll he'll

383
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: be all NBA again, but we're is not really talking

384
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: about him because it's tough to talk about a guy

385
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: as an MVP in your teams like six teams blow

386
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: five hundred or whatever they are right.

387
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: Now, they are six teams low and they and they're

388
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 4: still three back at the Grizzlies just for that spot.

389
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: But of course the Spurs are in the middle there

390
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 4: as well. So yeah, you know, for the Blazers, they

391
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: have to they have to hope the Grizzlies fall apart,

392
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: and they have to hope the Spurs continue to struggle

393
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 4: whilst also maintaining an incredible run themselves, just just to

394
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 4: get in the playoffs.

395
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: So and they had a bit of a scare even

396
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: when Whiteside got neat in the Hibberts last night and

397
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: you're like, oh my god, not another.

398
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: Guy like you watch the Beans.

399
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean we just saw really Hatcha Murray like have

400
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 3: to miss like weeks because he got he took a

401
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: shot down there in the groin, but he came back

402
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: in that game, so he should. And he's playing he's

403
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: playing pretty well. I mean he's he still has his

404
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: limitations at times, but I think he's a little bit

405
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: more locked in. He's given the effort and he's yeah,

406
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: he's getting his boards, he's getting a lot of blocks,

407
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: chipping in on the offensive end as well. So he's

408
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 3: played well from the rocket side of things. Harden, Man,

409
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 3: what this is? I saw go Fay Siller right in

410
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: here today and his good morning as basketball. It's like,

411
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: this is maybe Harden's worst month this January that he's

412
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: had since he's fifteen sixteen, Like, he hasn't had a

413
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: stretch this bad where he shot this poorly in a

414
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: long time. Any reasoning that you can think of, I mean,

415
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: I know, he just came back sort of from injury.

416
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: Is it the fatigue. Is it just one of these

417
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 3: weird cold spells and that's the way his game sort

418
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: of is because he just really all he does is

419
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 3: shoot threes. It feels like, you know, obviously gets to

420
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 3: the line.

421
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: But probably all that.

422
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you see the graphic and it's like

423
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: he's one of the four guys in history to lead

424
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: the league in minutes per game, in points per game.

425
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: That's pretty impressive. But it also means you're doing a

426
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: whole lot.

427
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 5: If that's the case, it means you're shooting a lot,

428
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 5: means you're handling the ball, and you're obviously on the court.

429
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 5: He just seems a little tired to me. And it's

430
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: unfortunate because Westbrook has picked up his game, for sure,

431
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 5: but it is coincided with Harden being out of it,

432
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 5: not being at his best, and the Rockets playing under

433
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 5: five hundred for the month of January. Can't be too

434
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 5: excited about the Rockets right now.

435
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, to me, it certainly he looks fatigued at there

436
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: because he hasn't just got that juice in him. And again,

437
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 4: maybe it's related to the injury. Yeah, I think the

438
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: workload as well. I mean, it's not just this season,

439
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: it's the last couple of years of what he's been doing,

440
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: and you know, it's it's maybe catching up with him

441
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: to some extent.

442
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, but maybe he's like, you know what I'm

443
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: gonna do now, I've always been dominating the regular season,

444
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: just crushing it, won an MVP. I'm always in the

445
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 3: conversation putting up these monster numbers. But then I sort

446
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: of when we get into the postseason, my numbers sort

447
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 3: of plumbing a little bit, a fizzle out. Maybe he's

448
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: flipping it around this year he should. Yeah, all right,

449
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: I was gonna we'll get into the playoffs. We won't

450
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: have a super high record or anything like that. That's okay,

451
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: and that I'll dominate, That's right. I mean, if you

452
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: can pull that often, Yeah, maybe they could make some noise,

453
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: but you're right, tough to be too inspired by this

454
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: team right now. It's it's just it's also just the

455
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: way they play. It's just like we've talked about a

456
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 3: million times. We don't have to go over it again,

457
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: but it is. So it's so you know, you're either

458
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: gonna lose big because you just can't hit threes, or

459
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 3: you're either gonna be up huge because you hit a

460
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: ton of threes. And that can happen within the same

461
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: damn game. Yeah, just because of that variance there, with

462
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: that three point and how much they rely on it.

463
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: Final one. Victor Oladipo made his return to the court

464
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: last night after sitting out an entire calendar year with

465
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: that ruptured quad tendon suffered last January. So how would

466
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: you guys grade All the Depot's twenty twenty debut there

467
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: last night, his first game this season? You give it

468
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: an eight plus a B minus, a C or you

469
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: can even get the dreaded incomplete. I hated when.

470
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: You got the AC.

471
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: Yeah that was rough. So what you got? Give him

472
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: a grade All the Deepo's first game.

473
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 4: So you can't just go on a It has to

474
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: be an A plus.

475
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: It's the ones I gain.

476
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: Okay, Well in that case, then I'll go.

477
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: I'll go a plus.

478
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 4: Then why not?

479
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: Wow?

480
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 2: Why not?

481
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 4: He hit the big shot to send the game to overtime. There,

482
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 4: game time three. More importantly, his first possession was basically

483
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 4: a very solid play there. He used the nice pick

484
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: and roll there with the mantess Bonas smooth smooth past there,

485
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 4: and so Bonus finished with a layout. So I thought, beautiful,

486
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 4: what a great start. Came off the bench. He was

487
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: looking feathery.

488
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: Okay eighth plus for nine points on two of age,

489
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: shooting one of seven from three to four assists, couple boards,

490
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: two turnovers in twenty one minutes. But like Lee said,

491
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: game tying three, to tie it all up at one

492
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: hundred with ten seconds ago, and then they got the stop.

493
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 5: Or they got away with a foul. Yeah, that's exactly right.

494
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 5: Victor Oladipo gets an I n C for me. Incorrect call,

495
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 5: But that was a foul on zach Lavine go into

496
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 5: the hole on the Bulls last possession.

497
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: That would have been two free throws for zach Lavine.

498
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: He would have made at least one of them.

499
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 5: That would have been the Bulls first road victory against

500
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: a plus five hundred team this season.

501
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: Wow.

502
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 5: Uh, But you know, in reality, he's probably an a

503
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 5: minus because he hit the biggest shot of the game

504
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: and then gave an incredible interview afterwards.

505
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was true and and like you said that

506
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 3: that very solid play that one has spon us very

507
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 3: very early when he came in checked in and got

508
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: the standing ovation, which was very cool. Shooting was rough,

509
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: his passing was excellent. I mean I'm not even talking

510
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: about just the assists. There were many others that were

511
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: like beautiful little plays that then led the being the

512
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: hockey assist that then led to another pass. He dropped

513
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: that gorgeous pot little pocket pass, as you said, another

514
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: one to Goga who then you know, he stepped into

515
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 3: a wide open jumper. He was just like in tight space. Yeah,

516
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: he's an underrated passer, right, I mean he always was.

517
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: I mean I think as we focus on his scoring

518
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: and how important it is to the Pacers, but man,

519
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: he can put that ball in little tight spots and

520
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 3: he likes to do it on though you can do

521
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: it on the move like so effortlessly. And I did

522
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 3: think this was a note too. He played sixteen of

523
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 3: his twenty one minutes with Brogden, and Pacers were even

524
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: you know, in the plus minus standpoint. So I mean

525
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: solid start because it's fascinating to see how these two

526
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: will play. And Brogden took this game over in overtime.

527
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: All the people got them there on the big shot,

528
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: but I mean then it was Brogden. I mean he

529
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 3: scored five points to help that nine to two running overtime,

530
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: and then he sealed it with a dunk and he

531
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 3: had you know, he only had fifteen points, but a

532
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: lot of it coming in the extra frame and nine

533
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: boards the assists. I thought a great game from him.

534
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, that's the thing with Malcolm Brogden. It

535
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: doesn't jump. You wouldn't sort of look at that guy

536
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 4: and think he had such a big lawn on such

537
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 4: a decent line. But he's very efficient, and he's very

538
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: low key topic player, but effective. He's hit a couple

539
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 4: of light game big baskets full of pices this season

540
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 4: as well, so I love the bowl in his hands

541
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: lighting games.

542
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I almost wonder if in a weird way, the Pacers,

543
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: because of their game plan with all the people coming

544
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: back only limiting him to twenty four minutes, I wonder

545
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: if that helped them in a weird way because he

546
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: didn't play in overtime and it was then brogged in time,

547
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: and there's no like, what's gonna happen here? Who's going

548
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 3: to sort of dictate the offense and stuff like that.

549
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: Maybe not at all, I mean, because I got to

550
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: make that work together. But he didn't play in the

551
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: overtime and he's not going to play in back to

552
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: back games. At least. This is the plan until after

553
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: the All Star break. But if I was grading and

554
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: I'm going B minus because you know, it's obviously things

555
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 3: to work on, and the shot will start falling. The

556
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: three point will start falling.

557
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 4: All right.

558
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna get to a couple sort of beach step

589
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 3: no dunks on Twitter or at no dunk Sinc. But

590
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: I thought we'd just get a couple in here because

591
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 3: we've got a ton and you know we can't go

592
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: for two hours on that one. So here's a couple

593
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: for you guys. I like this one with the timing

594
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 3: of it all. Hey, no dunkers. It sounds crazy to say,

595
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: but the trade deadline is just one week away. That

596
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: does sound wild when you trying to wrap your head

597
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: around that. Are we going to see any deals between

598
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: now and then? And what do you guys have planned

599
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: for deadline day? And what team and or player will

600
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,959
Speaker 3: you be watching sort of closely here between now and

601
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: that next Thursday? Love the show. Congrats on one hund

602
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: that's from Infinity Decks. So a couple questions there. We're

603
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: figuring out our trade deadline day plans, but it will

604
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: of course involve talking to you guys here on the podcast.

605
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll wait until after the day outline passes and

606
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: then sort of do the whole thing where we give

607
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: up grades to any of the trades that might occur.

608
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's going to be all that active,

609
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: I know, let's be frank. I know Walsh was talking

610
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: about it. The passing of Kobe I think has probably

611
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: and maybe it was always going to be quiet, but

612
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 3: that is even sort of limited communication between teams even

613
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: more so, I don't know what's going to happen here.

614
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: Do you guys have your eyes on any teams or players?

615
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 3: Do you think that we're going to get moves here

616
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 3: the next couple of days.

617
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 4: There's been so much sort of talk about like Andre

618
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 4: Drummond and whether the Pistons are going to do something,

619
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 4: But it's also died down a little bit, so I'm

620
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: not sure exactly what's happening there. But I'm still intrigued

621
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: by the Andrea Goodala situation for a couple of reasons. One,

622
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 4: I think we all kind of assumed that at some

623
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 4: point the Grizzlies would say, all right, well we're just

624
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: you know, buy him out, get a discount, and you

625
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 4: can go some wherever. But they've held firm and there

626
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: hasn't even really been any rumors about, oh, there's a

627
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 4: team's teams trying to talk there to him. So and

628
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: you kind of joked about it, I think a couple

629
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, saying well, you know what if the

630
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 4: Grizzly start playing, well, does he say, hey, we're in

631
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 4: a playoff chase here?

632
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 2: Why not?

633
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think maybe Kirby that brought the yeah, yeah,

634
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: I don't see that happening though.

635
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: I don't know either, but I did. I thought back

636
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 4: then I thought there's no chance, But then now I'm

637
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 4: sort of thinking, like, I mean, they they might just say, hey, listen,

638
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: we're not going to trade you. So if you want

639
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: to play, at least, this is not a team that's

640
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 4: like going to the draft lottery. You know, we're a

641
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: chance here. So if you want to play, come off

642
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 4: the bench, and you can play in your free free

643
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: agent anyway at the end of the season. But uh, yeah,

644
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 4: So I think the Grizzlies have played this pretty well.

645
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 4: They've just kind of said we're not going to give in.

646
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are some reports that like the Mavericks are

647
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 3: like their backup deal for him, like they have something

648
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: that Mavericks have come to them with something.

649
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's probably not.

650
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: A lot and they're like, Okay, hold on to that.

651
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 3: We still think we can do a little bit better

652
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 3: and that a team will get a little bit maybe

653
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: more desperate for Igodolo's services as you get into the

654
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 3: playoffs here or for a playoff push. But hold on

655
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 3: to that, mav So, I mean, my gut says he

656
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: will be moved it will be for something. They're just

657
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 3: hoping it's going to be for a first round pick.

658
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 3: I'm sure, and you know, maybe it's the Maser say well,

659
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 3: here's the second round pick and then a player a contract.

660
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 3: Make it work co Courtneyly or whatever.

661
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I assume he's getting moved as well,

662
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 5: just because there's so many teams where you can see

663
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 5: Iguidala being a piece that pushes them over the edge.

664
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 5: I mean, he would be great on the Bucks. A

665
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 5: team does the best record in the league, they could

666
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 5: use another big athletic wing who could stick a Lebron

667
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 5: or a Kawhi if it comes to that in the finals. Obviously,

668
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 5: the Lakers or Clippers would love to have him. I

669
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 5: think he would be great on the Raptors even I mean,

670
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 5: there's so many teams the Higwidala could help, and he

671
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 5: has taken a two thirds of the season off so

672
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: that he could join a contender. I imagine it's got to

673
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 5: happen at some point. Another team I'm looking forward to

674
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 5: see what they actually do is the Sixers, because they

675
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: have the talent to make it to the finals. But

676
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily know if they have the roster construction

677
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: right now, there's something that needs a little extra playmaking,

678
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 5: a little extra shooting, and I think it's got to

679
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 5: come from the same guy, probably at the point guard spot.

680
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: Because when Neto's playing well, that's fine. When Trey Burke

681
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 5: is playing well, that really helps too. But those aren't

682
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 5: necessarily super reliable guys.

683
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: So do you think there's somebody out there that you

684
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: would try and target if you're the Sixers, Because you

685
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: keep saying that, Yeah, you like that idea of a playmaker,

686
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: a shooter, backup point guard type of role. Yeah, but

687
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 3: who is it?

688
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

689
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 5: Could you this sounds ridiculous. Okay, the name that keeps

690
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 5: coming to me is Isaiah Thomas. Could you take a

691
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: chance at Isaiah Thomas coming off the bench. You don't

692
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 5: have to worry so much about his defensive limitations because

693
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 5: you've got such a great defense behind him, and he

694
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 5: can play make, he can shoot, and if he is

695
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 5: in a much in a lower pressure role as like

696
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 5: a backup point guard, I think maybe that could work.

697
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: I mean, he hasn't lit it on fire ever since

698
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 5: his hip injury. Yeah, you know, he's he's on the

699
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 5: side of his career. But if you put him in

700
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 5: the right situation, could he help possibly. Yeah, And that's a.

701
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: Cheap a cheap guy to get too.

702
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we'll see again. I don't think there's gonna

703
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: be a ton, but you never know. Sometimes when you

704
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: when it dies down, that's when these suddenly we get

705
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 3: we get these little big deals or a big names

706
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: sprung on us. It's when we're like, oh, suddenly we're

707
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: not hearing anything. Well, maybe that's sometimes a good thing, yeah,

708
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: because those teams are keeping it internally and don't let

709
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: this leak. And then suddenly you're like, oh, Blake Griffin's

710
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: been traded to the Pistons, you know what I mean. Like,

711
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: that's as an example, we didn't see that coming at

712
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: all at the time, and that does happen. So we see,

713
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: hopefully we get some deals, but we will be doing

714
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: something on the Thursday. You know, we'll likely have our

715
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: morning show still recapping the games from the night before

716
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: and maybe deals that are even happening then. And if

717
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: we get a you know, we get a busy enough

718
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: day on Thursday and the activities and there's trades to

719
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: talk about. We can grade them and talk them out

720
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, and yeah, we'll probably do a

721
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 3: second one a little bit later in the day once

722
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: the deadline passes. It's three pm Eastern, right I think now?

723
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: Is that right?

724
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 4: Yes? I believe it.

725
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know, and stuff trickles in after that,

726
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 3: so if we do a second one, it'll be later

727
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: in the afternoon. Great question, though, Infinity decks like that

728
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: well more, why not top of the muff until you

729
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: no drinks. I wanted to express my gratitude to all

730
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 3: of you during this time period with the recent passing

731
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: of my favorite basketball player, life has been tough. It's

732
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: hard to get up in the mornings. Though listening to

733
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: you guys laughing and still being able to have a

734
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: good time with each other during this morning period has

735
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: helped ease the pain. I have a similar business model

736
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: to Kobe's Mamba Sports Academy, and I was supposed to

737
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: be able to speak with the higher ups there, but

738
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: now I don't know if I will get that opportunity. However,

739
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 3: I am going forwards with the Mamba mentality and pushing

740
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 3: my business forward so that I may help my community

741
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 3: and those not fortunate enough to have access to medical

742
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 3: professionals who can help the athletes push past what they

743
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: perceive their potential to be. Very cool. Sorry for the

744
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: long email, he writes, but I have a strong emotional

745
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: tie to this topic without a doubt. Man. His question,

746
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: will you use the Mamba mentality in any part of

747
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: your life? And if so, what part? Yeah, we thought

748
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: it was a fun question. That's from Jack sending in

749
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: that very nice email. Thanks Jack for that. What are

750
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: you using the Mamba mentality for? Uh?

751
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: Literally everything?

752
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 3: Okay.

753
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 5: I woke up Monday morning, the alarm went off. I

754
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: was like the day after Kobe found out the news.

755
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 5: That's like, I did not want to get up, and

756
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 5: then I literally thought to myself, Kobe would get up

757
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 5: and do yoga.

758
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: So I got up and did yoga.

759
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 5: I'm I'm a boy. I'm just getting after it. I'm

760
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 5: just trying, you know. Task called it attacking life, and

761
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 5: I think that's exactly right. Just trying to be very

762
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: intentional about things in my big project, my big Mamba

763
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 5: mentality project for twenty twenty.

764
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna dunk this year. Yeah, it's gonna happen.

765
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 3: You were attempting to last night after our run. YEP,

766
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: all three of us were hoping last night all on

767
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 3: the same team last night, the three of us. It

768
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 3: was no dunks versus the world showed out to Marcella

769
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 3: and Calvin as well. They were rolling with us last night. Yeah,

770
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 3: you were trying to dunk, though after you actually were,

771
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: you shocked me. I didn't think you were gonna get

772
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: even that close. I gotta be especially after you had

773
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: been playing for well.

774
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: I thought he was in a good position because your buddies.

775
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: W Yeah, he was warmed up. Yeah you're loose, that's fair. Yeah,

776
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: but you also slyly and I didn't notice the verstight

777
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: because we were obviously joking on the sidelines. Try was

778
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: talking about dunk and everyone's like, you know, other guys

779
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: are trying stuff like that. And then you did the

780
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: little smooth move. I didn't catch it up first, but

781
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: you went over and you got one of the the

782
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 3: smaller balls. Okay, so kids ball is well, I should say,

783
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: the smaller size that you could grip a lot easier,

784
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: and uh, and then you went to do it, and

785
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: I know I was like, I did notice, Like, wow,

786
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: you did pulm that really well, Wow, you're sort of

787
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 3: close there. They're like, ah, not the regulation size a

788
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 3: little easier.

789
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 5: I will say the video that's a regulation size ball,

790
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 5: but my earlier attempts were with the twenty eight point five.

791
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 5: Yeah you will, but you know, been talking to some

792
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 5: dunk coaches. Yeah, getting my training regimen right. First thing

793
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 5: I'm trying. I gotta do the curl when I'm coming

794
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 5: into the lane. Don't approach it so straight. You gotta

795
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 5: get a little momentum going in. The little turn, A

796
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: little curved path is gonna give you a little bit

797
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 5: more explosion, you know. Me, It's all about explosion, but

798
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 5: like cool. After I decided this is my Mamba mentality project,

799
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: I went deep into the jumping YouTube. There's like a

800
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: YouTube for everything out there, and I was like, watch

801
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 5: you guys break down how you're supposed to load your

802
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 5: leg after your pent ultimate stride and how you want

803
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 5: to have your plant leg have the ball and then

804
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 5: swing it through with a crossbody to go up for

805
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 5: the one hander. So what I'm saying is I've studied

806
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 5: the technique and now I'm a pro. It's just eleven months.

807
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 5: I've got to figure out how to get another six inches.

808
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 3: It is weird that you're walking around in the jump

809
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: soules everywhere.

810
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's honestly just the statics. Though.

811
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 5: You know, I got skinny calves and I want to

812
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 5: be from us to that Lee Ellis stature, gotcha.

813
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: I believe in you. I think you could do it.

814
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. I just liked the main flowing there last night

815
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 4: and slow it looked beautiful.

816
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: What about you, Lee? What are you on that mamba mentality?

817
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

818
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 4: I guess first off, I had to sort of define

819
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 4: what technically is mamba mentality because if you look at

820
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 4: Kobe's career, he had some enormous success, but he also

821
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 4: had a reputation with just firing away at times, right,

822
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 4: you know, not always succeeding. But but so I I

823
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 4: sort of see that more as like, okay, you know what,

824
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: just take a few more chances, you do a few

825
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 4: more things. So I don't have a specific you know,

826
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 4: like goal right now, but I'm just going to try

827
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: to incorporate that when I'm on that. You know, when

828
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 4: you're in a position sometimes like should I do this

829
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 4: or shouldn't I do that? Right way up to like well,

830
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: what's the worst that can happen? Versus just go for

831
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 4: it and see what can happen. So I think I

832
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 4: think that's what it is there, because it's not like

833
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 4: Mumba mentality works one hundred percent of the time. It's

834
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: probably you know, fifty to fifty.

835
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 3: But I think you're happy with fifty, Yeah, a great

836
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: percentage before. I think it's more of one games coming

837
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: didn't shoot fifty percent, you know.

838
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 4: Not being afraid to fail. Yes, that's that's what I

839
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 4: would define it as. But that doesn't mean you won't fail.

840
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 4: It just means sometimes you just have to take that

841
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 4: chance and just see what happens.

842
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 3: So it's funny. It's funny you sort of and you're right,

843
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 3: I think to something sense like relating the Mumba mentality

844
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 3: to offense and shooting. But I actually incorporated the Mamba

845
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: mentality last night into our basketball right because we were

846
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: playing on same team. We got off to a rough start,

847
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 3: We got, we got, we lost the first couple of games.

848
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: There were a lot of guys last night, so there

849
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 3: was no mixing up of teams. We had the straight

850
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: up fifteen guys, so we had, you know, three teams

851
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 3: of five. You lost, your whole team was off and

852
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 3: then you were back on the first two and I

853
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: was not doing well I was doing two things wrong. One,

854
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: you know, my my defensive efforts were being wasted on

855
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: probably the worst guy. So I was like doing that

856
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: thing where I'm like hanging out on to nobody. And

857
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: then some of these other guys are lighting up some

858
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 3: guys on our team, and then I was doing nothing

859
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 3: on offense. I just had one of those nights missing

860
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 3: layups and the jumper was flat. Everything was bad. But

861
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: then when we had lost two and we were like,

862
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: all right, come on, we're not losing here all night.

863
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 3: As soon as we get one, we're gonna go on

864
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: a roll. We decided We're like, all right, Skeets, you

865
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: gotta play one of the better guys. Shut him down.

866
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: And I took that. That was my mom in mentality,

867
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 3: was like, look, Legally's gonna be hitting the threes, Tray's

868
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 3: gonna be working inside. I don't need to worry about

869
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: offense tonight. I'm gonna push the ball. I'm gonna be

870
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: the point guard, but I'm locking down. Nobody's scoring on

871
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 3: me now, nobody. And I'd like to say I did

872
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 3: a pretty good job. I think it helped us get

873
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: some of these victories. Those guys that were lighting us

874
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 3: up early. They sure as though weren't scoring much when

875
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: Skeets got in there and got in that Kobe all

876
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 3: defensive mind that too. Don't forget about Kobe playing defense

877
00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: early in his career.

878
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 5: That looked like there's that clip going around of Kyrie

879
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 5: after he told Kobe's like, you can't guard me, you

880
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 5: gotta guard me, you can't do that, and then there's

881
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 5: Kobe just locking down, jaw out, shutting him down, getting

882
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 5: the block in the lane.

883
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: That was Skeets last night.

884
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 3: It felt good to contribute, you know, even if it

885
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: was the defense f good.

886
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 4: It felt good to get a couple of wins over

887
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: good team.

888
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no, Hey, the run was good last year.

889
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 3: The run was competitive all A lot of games were close. Ye,

890
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: but what did I say, soon as we win one,

891
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: we're gonna go on a roll. I think we went

892
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 3: four straight after that, a couple dominations. I think we

893
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: did lose the last game though, in the end, but yeah,

894
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. Great run, great run with the guys

895
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 3: last night. All right, let's get to tweet of the night.

896
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 6: Tweet O the night.

897
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

898
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 5: Tweet of the night is actually Instagram of the night

899
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 5: comes from Vanessa Bryant in her first statement since Kobe's passing.

900
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 5: I'll just read some parts of this. It's on Instagram

901
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 5: and it's definitely worth reading the full thing. But she starts,

902
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 5: My girls and I want to thank the millions of

903
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 5: people who've shown support and love during this horrific time.

904
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 2: Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them.

905
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 5: We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my

906
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 5: adoring husband, Kobe, the amazing father of our children, and

907
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 5: my beautiful sweet Gianna, a loving, thoughtful and wonderful daughter,

908
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 5: an amazing sister to Natalia, Bianca and Capri. We're also

909
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 5: devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday,

910
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 5: and we share in their grief. Intimately, there aren't enough

911
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 5: words to describe our pain Right now. I take comfort

912
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 5: in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they

913
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 5: were so deeply loved. She continues, I'm not sure what

914
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 5: our lives hold beyond today, and it's impossible to imagine

915
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 5: life without them. But we wake up each day trying

916
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 5: to keep pushing because Kobe and our baby girl Gigi

917
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 5: are shining on us to light the way. Thank you

918
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: for sharing your joy, your grief, and your support with us.

919
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 5: We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy

920
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: we will need to navigate this new reality. To honor

921
