36
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: winners and losers of the NBA weekend, Let's start with

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: the winners. And I'm actually gonna get us going here

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: because I think it's an obvious one. I'm sure you

39
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: guys would all agree. The Boston Celtics the Beantown Boys

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: are a big winner of the weekend because this team

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: can't lose. They defeat the Wolves on Sunday, and with

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Philly losing to the Suns in a really entertaining game,

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: I thought on Sunday as well, Boston they have the

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: number one seed in the Eastern Conference. This is wild tasks.

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: I mean, at one point in January in twenty twenty two,

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: they were eighteen and twenty one and have since just

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: gone on this incredible heater here twenty nine and seven

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: records since then. That's an eighty percent win percentage, first

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: in point differential, first in defense by a landslide, third

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: in offense since then, and they got the number one seed.

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: And I mean, it doesn't matter who they're playing, Elite

52
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: teams in the East, elite teams in the West, hot

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: teams in the West, like the Wolves were one of

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: the hotter teams since they all Star break and they

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: just kicked the snot out of them.

56
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 5: You're trying to jink them because they got the rap

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 5: is next day, like saying for a loss.

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the Raps might catch a break tonight

59
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: because Robert Williams, the third he leaves that game last

60
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: night or yesterday against the Wolves, he won't be playing

61
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: against Toronto and I don't think Al Horford is gonna

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: play that one either, So yeah, maybe the Rap's get break.

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: But that's the thing with it, I don't know what matter.

64
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: It's because you've got jail and Brown and jessent teed

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: on they go for thirty. Every native feels like that.

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they haven't got anything going wrong right now.

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 5: For Bust, it's almost like too good right now. They need,

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 5: you know, maybe an injury, bit of a setback, because

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: like they're playing so well. You know, it's possible they've

70
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 5: peaked a little bit too early here as well. But honestly,

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: the way that they play and the way that everybody

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 5: gets out there and contributes on both ends of the

73
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: floor is super impressive. And just looking at their run

74
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 5: home here, I think it's a very very good chance

75
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 5: they do hold on to this number ones. But for

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: a couple of reasons. They're playing so well. But then

77
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 5: also Miami is in a bit of a hole right now.

78
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: I don't think Philadelphia can get it. Maybe the Bucks can,

79
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: but Boston I would sort of put my money on

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: right now because they've got the heat, they've got the Pacers,

81
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 5: they've got the Wizards, and then they've got a couple

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: of tough ones Bulls, Bucks and Grizzlies to win. But

83
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: sometimes around you know, those last couple of games, players

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: tend to sort of sit out and rest. So if

85
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 5: they can build a one or two game buffer that

86
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: might be enough for them to hold onto it for

87
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: the rest of the season.

88
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: It's just amazing. Not that they're just winning these games,

89
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: but they are just hammering teams testing. Most of these

90
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: games feel over after, you know, sixteen to twenty minutes,

91
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: like they're over in the first half. It was on Sunday.

92
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially everybody buying in defensively, it's kind of a

93
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: difficult thing to pick who you're gonna go at on

94
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: the offensive end, like Timberwolves on Sunday. Everybody performs on

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: the defensive end. Jason Tatum Obviously they're offensive star, but

96
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: he's a giant on the defensive end. You would kind

97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: of think, well, we'll go at him, but he is

98
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: a guy that can turn it on defensively. To go

99
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: along with Jalen Brown and the two backcourt guys you mentioned,

100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: you know, playing behind them. I call them backcourt guys,

101
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: but they're front court guys. And Robert Williams and Al

102
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: Horford plus Marcus mart that's a tough team to get

103
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: through defensively. And then yes, Jason Tatum, Yeah, the word

104
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 3: heater really fits him right now. The last two months,

105
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 3: since they've turned it on since they've gone from eleventh

106
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: to first. I mean, he is playing the best ball

107
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: as an offensive star in the league. So hello, it's yeah.

108
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: They are just they're perfect right.

109
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: Now, they really are. I saw Zilla writing about the

110
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Celtics in his newsletter this morning. He just said, this

111
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: is what they've done against the Eastern Conference playoff teams

112
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: in the last nine weeks. They beat the Heat by thirty.

113
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: In late January, they beat the Sixers by forty eight

114
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: in front of a national TV audience. They beat the

115
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: Nets three times by an average of twenty one points.

116
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: They beat the Hornets twice. And then they've beat these

117
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: good Western Conference teams too, Denver twice once by twenty,

118
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: Memphis by thirteen, Warriors by twenty two, and then you

119
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: had the Jazz by twenty eight, and on Sunday they

120
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: beat the Wolves by twenty two. I mean they want

121
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Two stars.

122
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now, I don't know that they beat him too early.

123
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: I mean they're peaking pretty much at the perfect time

124
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 4: right now, only at twelve days until the playoffs starts.

125
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: They just don't want to run into the Bulls. The

126
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 4: only team that has a five hundred record and a

127
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: positive point differential against the Celtics, so I can see

128
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: why they would want to be very nervous about encountering

129
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bulls, who I thought were terrible against the

130
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: best teams in the league. Nonetheless, Celtics are now up

131
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 4: to first in defense, and they've hit fifteen or more

132
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: threes in their last six games. The perfect combination, especially

133
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: when you throw in the fact that you've got Tatum

134
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: and Brown. Tatum most especially, who can go and get

135
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: his own basket anytime he needs to. Brown has really

136
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: been thriving. Feels like he's just chasing Jason Tatum out there.

137
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: It's like one of them's gonna have thirty, the other

138
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,119
Speaker 4: one's like, well, I better get close enough, I better

139
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: have thirty as well. So, yeah, they look really good.

140
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: Peyton Pritchard are shooting the ball incredibly well off the bench.

141
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: He's probably their worst defender in the rotation, but if

142
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: he's gonna give you three threes a night, like keep

143
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: playing him because you need the three point shooting. They're

144
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: looking really, really good right now because they're getting performances

145
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: from all their role players doing exactly what they need

146
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: to do, and then their superstars being Stars as well.

147
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: So there you go.

148
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: Boston takes the number one spot here at least on

149
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: Monday's podcast. But let's keep it going because again, that

150
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: was an obvious one and they've just been doing this

151
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: for weeks now, steam rolling teams tass who do you

152
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: have for a winner of the weekend?

153
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: Well, as an extension of that, just fans of Eastern

154
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: Conference basketball, aren't you excited for what this Eastern Conference

155
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: playoff picture looks like? Because it sure is wide open

156
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: and I know we kind of feel that as talkers

157
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: of basketball here going into the playoffs, we want to

158
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: talk up the three, four or five seeds, But come on,

159
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: have you ever seen a top of the Eastern picture

160
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: look like this this late in the season. We're on

161
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: March twenty eighth, the playing starts, yeah, fifteen days from now.

162
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: The top four seats are separated by half a game, Boston, Miami, Milwaukee,

163
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: and Philadelphia, and it goes all the way down to

164
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: the play in tournament. For me, my excitement for what's

165
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: going to happen in a couple of weeks because we

166
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: can thank the Boston Celtics for sure, from going for

167
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: going from eleventh to first. So they've added to the

168
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: teams like Miami, Milwaukee and Philadelphia that I mentioned to

169
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: go along with those Bulls once they get Lonzo ball back.

170
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: The Caves and Raptors are sort of part of that

171
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: crew that could go to the Eastern Finals, and who

172
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: the heck knows who goes to the NBA Finals. But

173
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: all the way down, I think to the Brooklyn Nets,

174
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: who are in the play In Tournament. The Playing Tournament

175
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: legitially is exciting to me because for the first time

176
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: play in tournament history. It's only a few years old here,

177
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: but I think a team from the Playing Tournament can

178
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: go to the NBA Finals. Because the Brooklyn Nets were

179
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: first in the East in January January twenty second, they

180
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: were twenty nine to sixteen, so a legitimate chunk of

181
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: the season, forty five games they were first. And they've

182
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: dropped off cup of injuries because a lot of weird

183
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: stuff happening there. But they sit in ninth and they

184
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: dropped to eighth. Hold on, hold on, hold on standings.

185
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 5: Now I think they did drop Yeah, yeah, they.

186
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: Dropped in nine. They've dropped in ninth. It's quite confusing,

187
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: but so they would need to get through a couple

188
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: of rounds of the play in tournament to get there.

189
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: But I legitimately believe that they could get there because

190
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: Kyrie obviously been cleared to play home games. They destroy

191
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: the Heat on Saturday night, absolutely absolutely destroy them in

192
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: the first half. This wasn't a comeback win like a

193
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: lot of Heat losses have been. They destroyed them in

194
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: the first half. Now then on Sunday they go play Charlotte,

195
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: and I know Lee's going to talk about them in

196
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: a second. A back to back there for the Nets,

197
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 3: he can make an excuse for them. Kyrie's first back

198
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: to back of the season. They got in at three am.

199
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: Apparently Kyrie couldn't sleep going to play his first back

200
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: to back. They couldn't get it done there.

201
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that guy needs rest.

202
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah he does. But legitimately I think, come on, well, yeah,

203
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: he said he couldn't sleep, he was excited.

204
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it was his first home back to

205
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 5: He did have a road back to back.

206
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 3: But still, anyways, there's no excuse they flew home whatever.

207
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: They lost that, Yeah, but I do believe in the team.

208
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a bit of kiss of death because Kyrie

209
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 3: Irving did say this weekend when he was asked about

210
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: the extension possibility coming this offseason. He said, there's no

211
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: way I'm leaving number seven, which is Kevin Durant. But

212
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: he also said that about the Boston Celtics when he

213
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: played there. He said, I ain't leaving their next offseason

214
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: he left, who knows if he leaves, But legitimately this

215
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: offseason or this this postseason, I think Brooklyn can get

216
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: there because of how they're coming together. They still don't

217
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: have Ben Simmons, but when you have guys that can

218
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: hit from deep like him, like Kevin Durant, and like

219
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: Seth Curry, who I think is really really, really really

220
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: important because if you look think back to last year's

221
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: playoffs when they couldn't find a bucket outside of Kevin Durant,

222
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 3: Joe Harris an incredible three point shoot. If he could

223
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: hit a couple buckets, they go deep. I think Seth

224
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: Curry is looking really really good right now as their

225
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: third score. They have to find it defensively a little bit.

226
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: But to me, I'm excited for this play in tournament

227
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: because usually the playing tournament is piecers and Wizard's Great.

228
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: One of them is going to get romped by the

229
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: top two seeds. But when you look at Cleveland, who

230
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: has been a good, good story all season long, and

231
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: they've lost Jared Allen, which has really hurt them, They've

232
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: dropped into it, Charlotte, Brooklyn, and Atlanta, who was in

233
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference Finals last year. I think one of

234
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: those teams, especially Brooklyn, can make it to the finals.

235
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: So I'm excited one through ten for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

236
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the Hornets. Yeah, if they did

237
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: beat Brooklyn, jump them there in the standings and would

238
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: be hosting that game.

239
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, if it was the second game at least.

240
00:10:59,040 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

241
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 5: And I have to thank to because I saw her

242
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 5: in the dock yesterday morning. You had the Brooklyn Nets

243
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: as a winner and I had the Hornet's chain. But

244
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: I was like, I think the Hornets could get a

245
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: good weekend. But then they got well, they got to

246
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: play Brooklyn, and early on it was like, I can't

247
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,119
Speaker 5: use the Hornets. But that game last night was incredible

248
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: because it really felt like we were getting a Kevin

249
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: Durant avalanche at some point there, you know, at home again,

250
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: there was a lot of emotion in the arena there

251
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 5: with Kyrie back, Kyrie himself didn't shoot all that well,

252
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 5: but he had one of those little patches where he

253
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 5: hit like three in a row and it's like, okay,

254
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 5: now the Nets are just going to like put this

255
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 5: one away here. But the Hornets showed incredible resilience, and

256
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: I thought, LaMelo Ball, I mean La Ball hit a

257
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 5: couple of while shots. Cody Martin hit an incredible one

258
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 5: legged sort of clock running down basically with about a

259
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: minute ago that put the game out of reach. But overall,

260
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 5: the Hornets, who have been playing incredibly well themselves right

261
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: now one seven of eight stood up to that real

262
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: challenge and got an incredible win. And I thought Myles Pontley,

263
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 5: who you know, I've sort of said, like, you can't

264
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: have him, he's just starting, sorry Mason as your starting

265
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: center if you want to go far. But he was

266
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 5: compete eating last night, contesting, just like giving them second

267
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 5: chance opportunities. And that's really I think where the Hornets

268
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 5: a couple of times, you know, if the Nets get

269
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: the ball and get down on the other end, maybe

270
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: they do get on a roll. But they weren't able

271
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 5: to do that. So I thought that was one of

272
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 5: the most impressive victories by the Hornets to just hang

273
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 5: on against the team that really is trying to you know,

274
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 5: solidify its place there. And they had no excuses. I

275
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 5: mean that the Miami game wasn't a tough game. You know,

276
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: this was a blowout, so they were as rested as

277
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 5: you can be. But then it goes back to Friday

278
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: night as well against the Utah Jazz. Another really impressive

279
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 5: victory by the Charlotte Hornets, and they closed this one

280
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 5: out and we got another two beauties from Eric Collins

281
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 5: after Males Bridges hit two free throws, which was great.

282
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 5: And then Donovan Mitchell talked about this a few weeks ago.

283
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: His late game execution was on display again in this one.

284
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 5: He missed a bunny at the rim, which okay, you

285
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 5: know you get there sometimes you get too open. But

286
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: then he just came down and he just had that

287
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: home run heave that was hit the top of the backboard.

288
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: So that's got to be again another concern here for

289
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 5: the Jazz that when the game gets tight, what are

290
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: they going to get out of Donovan Midgell. So far,

291
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: a lot of times this season he hasn't been all

292
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 5: that impressive. But for the Hornets offensively, I think they're

293
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 5: up to eighth offensive raiding in the league. Offense isn't

294
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 5: really their problem. It's whether or not they can shut

295
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 5: teams down or slow them down. I wouldn't say they

296
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 5: shut down the Nets last night, but I thought they

297
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 5: defended well and the Nets missed a couple of shots

298
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 5: that you know, you would take Kevin Durant to knock

299
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 5: those down most of the time. But for a team

300
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 5: that we thought we've really given no hope to to

301
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 5: sort of get out of that play in because it's

302
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 5: likely going to be Brooklyn and who roll the Raptors.

303
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 5: I know Cavs are in there at that right now,

304
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: but they're strung together some a really good streak here

305
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 5: at the most important part of the season.

306
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: If the player in tournaments started today, I think you

307
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: would like the Hornets chances to get in because they

308
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: would be playing in Cleveland.

309
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: Now.

310
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: It's not an easy game by any means, but they

311
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: could beat them.

312
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: They aren't.

313
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: They're playing well right now, and that would get them in.

314
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: Right They would be the seven seed there and you'd

315
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: leave the Nets and the Hawks to battle it out

316
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: who wins that to then take on Cleveland in that

317
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: case to have a second chance, I would pick Charlotte

318
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: over them right now at this point, over the Hornets

319
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: or Cleveland.

320
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I agree. The Calves could have been tough weekend, honestly, Yeah, Calves,

321
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 4: I'll had this one. The No Dunks coalition teaming up

322
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: on Saturday, kick him down into the play and tournament there.

323
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, the Hornets have found something out here. A

324
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: little of me thinks it's kind of teams overlooking the

325
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: Hornets a little bit, you know, like you're saying, Lee,

326
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: you know, there's no defense being played in this game.

327
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: Even though they did fine against the Nets, they still

328
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 4: gave up one hundred and ten. So teams surely think

329
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 4: we just got to try and outscore the Hornets. But

330
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 4: the Hornets have been playing really well offensively right now.

331
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: So that's why they're able to win seven of eight

332
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: at the perfect time.

333
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: Like you're saying, playing starts on April twelfth, I think,

334
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean that is, Yeah, we are real close to that.

335
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: That's a couple weeks from now. There's not a lot

336
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: of regular season basketball left to be played until we

337
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: get into the play in games, which is the one

338
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: and done's for some of those teams, and then into

339
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: the actual playoffs. Okay, Trey, what about you, NBA weekend winner?

340
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 5: What do you got?

341
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: Yeah? Two minor winners, lowercase winners of the weekend, if

342
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: you will, the Pelicans and the Spurs. This is also

343
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: a stealth Lakers loser of the weekend, since they're the

344
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: only team ninth through eleven in the Western Conference who

345
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: didn't help themselves out coming into everything. Friday night, the

346
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: Lakers were in ninth, tied with the Pelicans there, both

347
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: of them two up on the Spurs for eleventh in

348
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: the Wests. Purs and Pelicans played on Saturday, a nice

349
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: win for the Spurs. No Ingram for New Orleans. That

350
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: was his tenth straight game he missed. Seven. Spurs were

351
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: in double digits, including twenty one for Kelden Johnson. That's

352
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: a name we never say on this show at all, fifteen, eleven,

353
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: and thirteen for de Jontay Murray. Spurs were all over

354
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: the offensive glass in this one. They blew a lead late.

355
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: Jose Alvarado had a chance to win it on the

356
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 4: last real possession for the Pelicans, but he wasn't playing

357
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 4: against the Bolts, so it didn't happen. The win pulled

358
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: the Spurs a game behind tenth, one and a half

359
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 4: behind ninth at the time. Pelicans followed up that close

360
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 4: loss by beating the Lakers in a big time come

361
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: back yesterday. Brandon Ingram was finally back after ten games,

362
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,479
Speaker 4: and he was great. Twenty six points, seven rebounds, five assists,

363
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: just dribbling into the easiest mid range jumpers you'll ever see.

364
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: Like that's a good game to come back for, basically

365
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: a warm up game. But the bigger story for the

366
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: Peals was Trey Murphy the third What a name for

367
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: a guy who made four to three pointers in the

368
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 4: second half, four of six, shooting twenty one points. All

369
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: of them came in the second half. The Pelicans only

370
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: gave up thirty nine points after being down twenty at

371
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: the half. In this one, Joel Myers even hit the

372
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 4: Lakers with a that's all folks, Yes they showed. Anthony

373
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 4: Davis saw the sideline there. He hasn't played in twenty

374
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 4: seven years.

375
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 5: Saw.

376
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: The win moved New Orleans a half game up on

377
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: the Lakers into ninth in the Western Conference. The Lakers

378
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: are only a game up on the Spurs for tenth

379
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: right now. They play at Dallas, then they play at Utah,

380
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: then their home Friday against the Pelicans. They've got one

381
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 4: easy game left this season. They've got the Thunder during

382
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: the last week of the year. Everybody else has a

383
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: better record than the Lakers at this point. Lebron also

384
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: sprained his ankle against the Pelicans. He was playing incredibly well,

385
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: had twenty five points in the first half, definitely slowed

386
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 4: down in the second half. Lakers could easily miss the

387
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: play in tournament at this point.

388
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played like their season was on the line yesterday.

389
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 2: They call a playoff game.

390
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 3: Basically they should have because, yeah, the rest of their

391
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: schedules are so tough, so I think they they desperately

392
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: knew that they needed this one. Yeah, Spurst can catch

393
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: them after that one, unless unless uh yeah, that's all

394
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 3: Folks comes back and helps out. But it looks like

395
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: he's just tending to his hairy See you let the

396
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 3: fro go?

397
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, like kareem out there.

398
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he don't see that. I've ever seen Anthony Davis

399
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 3: look like, just leave the fro going on on the

400
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 3: floor there, But uh man, I think everybody knows it.

401
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: Seemed like Lebron knew. In the postgame press conference, he

402
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: was depressed, obviously his ankle. He said it was killing

403
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: him as they're nasty. Yeah, so that's that's rough.

404
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: I was so confused, you know when you like log

405
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: onto Twitter sometimes and like it'll show you old tweets,

406
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: you know, like and you're like, you're confused, like when

407
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: is this tweet? Was this tweet a minute ago? Or

408
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: is this tweet like hours ago? I saw a task

409
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: Mellows tweet I had logged on is when the Pelicans

410
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: had come back, and the tweet was okay Lakers, And

411
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm like trying to decipher this task. I'm like, what

412
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 2: does this mean? What is he talking about here? And

413
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: then and I did a little research, like, oh, he

414
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: was tweeting it at the start of the game when

415
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: the Lakers jumped off to like a you know, ten

416
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: o start or something like that.

417
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was actually supposed to be okay Fakers. But

418
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: I got myself, well I got auto corrected. Oh got me. Yeah,

419
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 3: that it looked like they were they were gonna win

420
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: that game right until until the Pelicans put it together

421
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: the last few minutes. But yeah, Trey Murphy was huge.

422
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: You'd say, you talk about the guys that we don't

423
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: mention on this show. Trey Murphy is a part of

424
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: that rookie class.

425
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: It was my dark horse Rookie of the year. Pick

426
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: I remember Trey Murphy, the third super dark horse pick

427
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: I remember.

428
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he hasn't he hasn't had a lot of

429
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 3: great games, but he's come on the last few weeks

430
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: and yeah, he can't hitch shot. He had that dunk

431
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: last week. He looks like a player. Yeah, I guess

432
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: they've they've kind of slowly brought him along. But he's

433
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: had some monster I mean monster is a strong word,

434
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: but he's had a thirty two point game, that twenty

435
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: one point game this weekend. This month. He hasn't had

436
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: a big scoring games. I think he's had three double

437
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: digit scoring games this entire season. But he can shoot

438
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: it for sure.

439
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: So many seventh right now, Clippers of course, still in eighth,

440
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: then the Pelicans ahead of the Lakers nine tenth. They

441
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: would play in that playing game, but the Spurs right there.

442
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: Do you want La to be in this lee or

443
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: would you almost like prefer it be San Antonio? I

444
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 2: guess so, No, I want Lebron still in it.

445
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 5: I would love the Pelicans to have a chance to

446
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: knock the Lakers out.

447
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 4: And I think that Ingram love that.

448
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's a thing considering everything that's happened.

449
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 5: I think the Pelicans would love that. It was a

450
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 5: fun game in the end. Antonio Daniels last night, I

451
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 5: mean he basically got wife from just being a colleague

452
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: goud to just like I'm chill, lady, Yeah, go on, Valentudus.

453
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: It's definitely different.

454
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 5: But it's like we used to be like, you've got

455
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 5: to be a bit more objective. Now it's like, you know,

456
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 5: we can lean into it.

457
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: It's fine.

458
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 5: I thought it was just great because he could sort

459
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 5: of sense like we can we can do this. You know,

460
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 5: they weren't perfect, but they were able to just do it.

461
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 5: And then the Lakers there was a time where Camelle

462
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 5: got a wide open three and both him and.

463
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: Joel like, how can you lose him?

464
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 5: You know, they were just like, we can win this game.

465
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 5: We need to be better. But then Ingram, for a

466
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: guy who has missed ten games, that was like, great,

467
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: just step into that bit ranger.

468
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 4: There's a bunch of fifteen flutters and you're just waiting.

469
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: To see the change from the defensive mindset of like

470
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 5: someone's got to at least get there and stop him

471
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: or or see it coming, see it unfolding. But they

472
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 5: didn't do that, So yeah, it was crazy.

473
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: A couple other winners of the weekend, the Grizzlies continuing

474
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 2: to impress without John Morant. They just destroyed the Bucks.

475
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you give me a so yeah, talk about it.

476
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

477
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 5: Well, there was no dru holiday, but when Yannis is there,

478
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 5: there's no like. Yeah, and this was a route from

479
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 5: the start too. They really did blow them out. And

480
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 5: this is really so impressive by Memphis because when was

481
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: it after the All Star break? I said, can Memphis

482
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: keep this sort of streak up? This play up? But

483
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: you know, the silver lining is that they aren't so

484
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: heavily reliant on jar Moran that they're like, we're just

485
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 5: going to go out there and take care of business.

486
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 5: And Yarnas was into this game early as well. This

487
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 5: wasn't like they were just cruising along. Memphis just beat

488
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 5: them at both ends. And Jaron Jackson, I don't want

489
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 5: to give I don't want to play my hand too early,

490
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: but it's going to be tough for me to pick

491
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 5: anyone else for Defensive Player of the year. He was

492
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: so good. He was well, he was so because he's

493
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: one of the few guys that I've really enjoyed watching

494
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 5: play defense.

495
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Noah was one.

496
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 5: I used to love watching Joe Kim Noah play Kawhi,

497
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 5: you know, Gonade to a degree. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

498
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 5: he was fine, but the way average no, he was

499
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: a good defender. I'm just saying the way that Jaron

500
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 5: Jackson is like, he can defend the perimeter and he

501
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 5: can then get back into the paint. He can test shots,

502
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: he blocks shots. He's he's got such a strong case.

503
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 5: It's going to be tough for someone to beat him

504
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: in my pick already, I'll start in the awards stock

505
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 5: now and just put my pick in there.

506
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: But start figuring out when we're doing that. Yeah, yeah,

507
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: good point. We're running out of time here to do

508
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: all that stuff to lock in our picks. We don't

509
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 2: have votes, but just to lock him.

510
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

511
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 5: But but I mean that's the big thing with Memphis Grizzlies.

512
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: You know, defensively, they don't have the best rating in

513
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 5: the league, but as far as steels, blocks, deflections, hustle points,

514
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 5: all that stuff, they all go out. If you throw

515
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 5: the ball and it's not a direct pass. Someone's getting

516
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 5: their hands into play and that's what's so good.

517
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: I would say the only thing bad for the Grizzlies

518
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 2: is that John Morant I think has left the MVP

519
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 2: table because of injury, of course, and his team just

520
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: kicking ass without him, and you have the rise of

521
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, Like you said, Tass and Devin Booker there

522
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: for the signs, right, I don't think he's sitting at

523
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: the table. Yeah.

524
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 4: Bad timing, Yeah, bad timing for Jamorant that his team

525
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 4: is so good right now, while while these other great players,

526
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 4: like I mean even Danta was a little bit in

527
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 4: the next book and Tatum are definitely the guys who

528
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 4: are squeezing into those fourth and fat fifth seats. Now

529
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: that being said, we need John Morant back healthy for

530
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 4: the playoffs. I'm impressed with what Memphis is doing. It's

531
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 4: like awesome to go out and destroy the Bucks. But

532
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 4: I think they probably win one game in the playoffs

533
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 4: if they don't have John Morant, So I mean, we'll

534
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 4: see who they end up matching up with. They're obviously

535
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: gonna be a tough out, but they're a championship contender.

536
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: If John's still healthy.

537
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is wild like they're pretty clear

538
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 2: of the Warriors at this point. So the Grizzlies are

539
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: gonna be the second seed. We sort of know. It's

540
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: looking like we know the top three seeds in the West.

541
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: That's the Suns for sure, that's the Grizzlies that too.

542
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 2: It's still probably the Warriors though they're not that clear

543
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 2: I guess of Dallas in the fourth seed, but you know,

544
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna be a top three or four seeds. They're

545
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: gonna have home court advantage. And then we're figuring out

546
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: still Dallas in Utah and who's gonna be hosting that

547
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: in Denver where they come into the mix? Crazy crazy stuff?

548
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: How how just everything is so jumbled up still, which

549
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: makes it very difficult, if we're being honest, to start

550
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: doing our you know, playoff series predictions. Who's gonna win

551
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: all that We're not gonna until the final night. It's like,

552
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: might be every single matchup we may not know.

553
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 3: To us, that's.

554
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: Great, it's good.

555
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't need to do the predictions now, just burn.

556
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: The midnight candle, well, no oil, because I think.

557
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: That's what I did. That's what I did. Ley absolutely right. Okay,

558
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: a couple other just sort of random winners of the

559
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: NBA Weekend. Let's give a winner to YouTuber Jideon who

560
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: was getting a court side haircut in Minnesota. And uh, yeah,

561
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: for if you're joining us here on the stream team,

562
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: if you're watching on YouTube, Jad's got the clip here

563
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 2: right there. Lely, love to get your take on this,

564
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 2: just getting you know, it's getting clean up. Anthony Edwards shocked.

565
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: Now this is the Wolves. We're just rolling in this game.

566
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 2: What do you think would you do this? Uh?

567
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 5: I don't really like wearing that, Like what the smock there?

568
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 5: You know, while I'm at an arena.

569
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to have a drink and some of

570
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: them have a hit where you can put your hands.

571
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't know if I feel a little

572
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 5: that comfortable there, you know. Okay, you know, because you

573
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 5: kind of got to keep your head still when you're

574
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 5: at the head dresser too, and you know, if you're

575
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 5: looking around much of the game.

576
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 4: But you know, you gotta pay for the seat. You

577
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 4: gotta pay for your seat, the court side seat. Do

578
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: you have to pay for the seat directly? I mean

579
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 4: it's it wasn't sitting next to him because I think

580
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 4: every seat was full. Also, like, if that's the case,

581
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 4: complete waste of money because that was not a complicated haircut.

582
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 4: The guy was bald, that's true. Yeah, he just brought

583
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: a razor.

584
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: Think it was just solely for the bit. Yeah, and

585
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: it worked.

586
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I'm leaning more towards loser of the

587
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: weekend personally, but I can see why it's a winner. Yeah,

588
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 4: got sure.

589
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: Uh and Shack and Steph Curry they won an oscar

590
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: last night for the Queen of Basketball, Uh, the short documentary,

591
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: So congrats to them. Kobe also had an Oscar and

592
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,280

593
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: were a producer him and Curry on this documentary. I

594
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 2: haven't had a chance to watch this documentary about Lucy Harris,

595
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: who was like, you know, the first real elite women's

596
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: basketball player drafted in the I didn't know that by

597
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: the Jazz New Orleans Jazz and like the seventh round

00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: never played of course. Yeah, so congrats to him. Did

608
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: the world was going on Twitter?

609
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: Late? No?

610
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: I know, well I didn't. I was asleep by that point.

611
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: It was long gun.

612
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, luckily I was on Twitter. Otherwise I wouldn't have

613
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 3: seen what was going on. But yeah, it was wonderful,

614
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 3: wonderful tweet Twitter experience. My Twitter addiction came through. Usually

615
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 3: just screws me, but yeah, this, in this instance, I

616
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: got to watch it. I watched it play by play.

617
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: Did this really happen? Was it a sketch? Like right right?

618
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: You were trying to figure out whether was a bit?

619
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course everybody was wondering if it was a bit?

620
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: What do you think now?

621
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: Not sure? Now I gotta think about it for a bit.

622
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: Well you think it was a bit? No, Chris Rock

623
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: Will Smith WrestleMania right around the corner.

624
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's go, I guess so yeah.

625
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: You never know? Yeah, No, it was uh weirder, weirder

626
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: than the whole Moonlight. What was the other movie that

627
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: got announced? La La Lala Land. Yeah, fi Osco. There,

628
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: I guess it is. This is insane.

629
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a famous person slapping another famous person

630
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: right in the face on national TV. You don't need

631
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 4: to watch the Oscars. You'll hear about the one cool

632
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 4: thing that happens the next day, guaranteed, like Moonlight didn't

633
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 4: see that happen, right, it was everywhere Wilson has slapped.

634
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: Test that he was watching. It wasn't even watching it.

635
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 4: Had to find out about on Twitter what he was

636
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: watching on TV.

637
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: I was watching before, I was watching beforehand, and then

638
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 3: and the last and then I lied, well, I didn't know.

639
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: I was watching a little bit. And then I was like,

640
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 2: all right, I'm going to bed.

641
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I so don't watch the Oscars is what

642
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 4: we're saying. You'll catch up instantly, instantly, you'll catch up,

643
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 4: of course.

644
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love three and a half hours. Uh. They

645
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 3: I didn't really like the encanto. Just did you see

646
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: the inc I did?

647
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 4: They played?

648
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: They played your Bruno, my Bruno?

649
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, brut did you see the Phoenix Sun's dancers dance

650
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: to a Bruno? So I was watching this movie with Laura.

651
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 4: We were having a dance party, you know, in the

652
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 4: two months since it came out. I was like, this

653
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: song is too sexy. This song is too sexy to

654
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 4: be it. We don't talk about Bruno to be in

655
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 4: the kids movie. It just has a sexy vibe to it.

656
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: You know, when you dance to it, you want to grind,

657
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: and that should not be the case in the kid's movie.

658
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: And I feel like I was proven right when the

659
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 4: Son's dancers went out there and danced to a Bruno song.

660
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 4: They're like, this is danceable in an arena. You're not

661
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: picking like sedate songs to dance to an arena. You

662
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. I'm just saying a little song,

663
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 4: why it's sexy, because of the vibe, because of the

664
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: counter rhythms, tast it makes you want to hold some hips.

665
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: Because they did a remix with Meghanie Stallion, I'm telling you.

666
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 4: That one is definitely six.

667
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

668
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I might look it up though.

669
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: Nah, you'll be disappointed.

670
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah I wanted the song, Yeah, I agree.

671
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 3: Should just cut it off. I mean it went to

672
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: Megan Thee Stallion and then it was done. Like they

673
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 3: didn't play the rest of the song. It was a

674
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: minute of Bruno. The biggest song of the year and

675
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: Meghanzee Stallion came in on her horse and that was it.

676
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: And then they didn't get to the rest of the song.

677
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 3: It was a remix, a quick version John Lexama. Very

678
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: funny intro, very funny. Did you know that the Oscar

679
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 3: Trophy was modeled after a Mexican actor in nineteen twenty

680
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: so every Oscar winner is holding thirteen and a half

681
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: inches of Mexican?

682
00:29:59,440 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: Was his name?

683
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: Well? Scattered?

684
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah?

685
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: Did you do you have any thoughts on any of this?

686
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: Let's let's stick up first break and when we come back,

687
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: we'll get to losers of the NBA weekend because there

688
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: are some teams to discuss that had a rough, rough weekend.

689
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: That's a nice little one two three ad Readcambo right there,

690
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: take your athletic greens, throw on your sacks underwear, and

691
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: jump on the peloton.

692
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 5: Well right done, sinner, right exactly?

693
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: Okay, losers of the NBA weekend, who wants to get

694
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: to started lear? Why don't you?

695
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 5: Miami heat? Rough weekend? Rough weekend for them? Two losses

696
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 5: too bad losses too. Going back to Friday night against

697
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 5: the Knicks, they got out scored thirty eight to fifteen

698
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter at home. Now, about a week

699
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 5: or so ago, I was rather critical of Tom Thibodeau

700
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 5: playing the old guys, and he's been playing mostly the

701
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: young guys now and getting good results of though touched

702
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 5: Gibs and played ten minutes of the fourth quarter. That's okay,

703
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 5: So he did say. Tims did say he's not afraid

704
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: to play him again if he has to, So okay,

705
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 5: TIB's one victory to you there. But look overall, we

706
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 5: can look at the Knicks and say this was an

707
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 5: incredible victory, or we can look at the Heat now,

708
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: who have lost the four in a row, and really

709
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 5: that's a bad loss. Against the Knicks, they get a

710
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 5: chance then against Brooklyn, and Brooklyn were punking them so

711
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 5: much that Andre Drummond gets the steel. He's throwing up

712
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: the I mean peipe, saying it's the peace sign. I'm

713
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: not I guess it was, was it? I mean, I

714
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 5: know that's the peace sign, but what's it in reference to?

715
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 5: Like when you're going down there, you know what I mean?

716
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 5: Like he was just doing it to show boat, I guess, yeah.

717
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 5: And he threw down to dunk and this one honestly,

718
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 5: like if you if you saw the Nets on Friday,

719
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 5: you can sort of see what Tas is saying there.

720
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: Maybe they can go all the way. But then on Saturday,

721
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: oh sorry, on Sunday, you know they lose at home. Okay,

722
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 5: back to back and on that. But the Miami Heat

723
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: have got a few issues I think here because they

724
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 5: are not playing with that intensity now. Eric's bolster actually

725
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 5: missed Saturday night's game, so he will be back for

726
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 5: the next team. He had a family situation to take

727
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 5: care of. But Miami have gone from the number one

728
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 5: seed and looking pretty comfortable there. They were up a

729
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: good two two and a half three games at one

730
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: point there to now in a tie with Boston. But

731
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 5: of course, as also we talked about earlier Milwauke in Philadelphia,

732
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: only half a game back there, so Miami could see themselves.

733
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: Now they won't drop I don't think any lower than four.

734
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 5: They're three and a half games up there on the Bulls. Yeah,

735
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 5: they'll definitely have it, but they do have to figure

736
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 5: out what's going on. Kyle Lowry addressed that after the game.

737
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: He said, you know, we're just not playing very well.

738
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 5: We've got to figure some stuff out. So, yeah, some

739
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 5: questions here about Miami and how they sort of close

740
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 5: out this regular season, because I still think at their

741
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 5: best they're a very good team at both ends of

742
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 5: the floor. But two bad losses at home and four

743
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: in a row, four losses in a row, and I

744
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: think three of those actually have been at home. I

745
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 5: think I was in Philly and then the Warriors and

746
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 5: then the Knicks and the Nets. So they need to

747
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 5: sort of find that energy again. Because again the way

748
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 5: that the Knicks young guys just ran them up and

749
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 5: down the court, I thought it was pretty bad on yeah,

750
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 5: Saturday night was I can't remember what night it was, anyway,

751
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 5: the other weekend there, Yeah, but the Knicks, for a

752
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 5: team that we know has not been playing very well,

753
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 5: has not been able to close out games and sort

754
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 5: of has the same you know, Fred Katz always tweets

755
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 5: about it. We've seen the same movie over and over

756
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 5: with the Knicks. They just can't close out a game. Instead,

757
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: McBride and Quickly and Grimes all those guys and Obi

758
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 5: Top and were just like really looking like they were

759
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 5: playing well. So great stuff by the Knicks and the

760
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 5: Nets against them. But Miami very interested to see how

761
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 5: they react.

762
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: And look, I mean some credit to you, at least

763
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: so far, you were the only one wondering the Spolstra

764
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler Uniteds Haslam blow up of last week. We

765
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: will did there be a little bit of a hangover?

766
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: You know, there's something there. There's obviously a little tension.

767
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: We were like, nah, come on, this is Miami. They

768
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: love this stuff, and that might still be proven to

769
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: be true. I'll see what happened to playoff. But you

770
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: were like, I don't know. You know, that's of course

771
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: never a good sign when your coach wants to maybe

772
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: fight a player on your team, a star player at that,

773
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: and they did not respond. Guess is what I'm getting

774
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: out here? With these two losses.

775
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: And again they had a big lead against the Knicks.

776
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 5: You know, this is the Knicks that you should be

777
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 5: able to get. That's the sort of like, okay, that's

778
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 5: the drought breaker run down. But then again, Miami, when

779
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 5: Brooklyn came to town, it.

780
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: Was like it was a bloodbath that one.

781
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 5: So yeah, they've got some things to figure out. They've

782
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 5: got the King's next at home, so that'll be the

783
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 5: real test. They if they dropped on the at home,

784
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 5: but then they've got they go to Boston, Chicago, Toronto, Charlotte,

785
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 5: Hugh Atlanta.

786
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: So yeah, well, how they close out games is the

787
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: biggest real worry going forward because even prior to the

788
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 3: little kerfuffle, they gave up a lead to the Sixers

789
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: on Monday night, then they gave up the lead to

790
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: the Warriors on Wednesday, and then Friday, and then they

791
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 3: just got spanked by the Nets. So it's a pattern.

792
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: Schumann pointed this out Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Those three games

793
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: they led in the fourth quarter, they led by three

794
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: with five minutes left, and the Sixers went on a

795
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: sixteen to two run. They led by three early in

796
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: the fourth against the Warriors, then the Warriors destroyed I'm

797
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 3: thirty seven sixteen the rest away, and they led by

798
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 3: sixteen early in the fourth against the Knicks. Wow, and

799
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 3: Tyler hero out for a couple of those games. He

800
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: really is their creator and their closer. I think that

801
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 3: was a part of this streak. But what happens in

802
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, it's is it just Lowry Butler going

803
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 3: to pick it up in the postseason as creators? Maybe,

804
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: But I think that's the biggest worries that it can

805
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: get a little stagnant and that's yeah, that's teams ready

806
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 3: ready to stop them. But it seems like they've got

807
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 3: enough weapons. But it is a real Hey, we all

808
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 3: have to chip in, and so you can't really just

809
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 3: you can't rely on Jimmy. I don't think you can

810
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 3: just rely on Tyler, who you can't rely on Bam

811
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: or Kyle. So they all got to chip in. So

812
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 3: that's I think that's a legit worry for this team.

813
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: Anything Dad Tray to a bad weekend for the Murami Heat.

814
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: Well, they made twelve threes against the next they made

815
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: ten threes against the Nets. Meanwhile, they had fifteen turnovers

816
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 4: against the Knicks and twenty one against the Nets. Like

817
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 4: Tasa say, and it's basically a system with Miami like

818
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Tyler Hero, those are the guys

819
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 4: who are going to go get you a bucket. But

820
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 4: they still just all play together better when everybody's touching

821
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:10,959
Speaker 4: the ball, when the ball is moving, when they're getting

822
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,959
Speaker 4: shots for their three point shooters. So when they're turning

823
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: the ball over, they've been a high turnover team this year.

824
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 4: That's a big time weakness for the Heat. Gives other

825
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 4: teams opportunities to run out on them, which doesn't give

826
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 4: the Heat a chance to set up their defense. So

827
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: those are the things that they definitely have to tighten

828
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: up come playoff time, because you're right, it is just

829
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 4: going to be still the same guys, and it's gonna

830
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 4: have to be Butler and Lowry and Tyler Hero all

831
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: pick it up in the postseason. Otherwise, if your perimeter

832
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 4: guys aren't playing well, you know, Duncan Robinson's not going

833
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 4: to go out and get his own shots. Max Struce

834
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 4: isn't going to go out and get his own shots.

835
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 4: So they're just gonna have to play better. That's why

836
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 4: they brought in Kyle Lowry to take some of the

837
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 4: load off of Jimmy Butler. And obviously we've been talking

838
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 4: about Hero as an X factor for the Heat the

839
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 4: entire season, so he had a really really bad one

840
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 4: in his return five turnovers, So that just can't happen

841
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 4: if they're going to be a realistic title contender.

842
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: All right, to ask you up next ere the weekend, Well, that's.

843
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 3: Happening, like Cleveland Cavaliers. Everybody's favorite child, my favorite child,

844
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 3: for sure. They have dropped out of the playoff picture

845
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: into the play in tournament, they're currently in seventh after

846
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: an incredible season. It's a winning season in Cleveland. They've

847
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: won forty one games, but things have caught up to

848
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 3: them now. Darius Garland, one of their two ulstars they're

849
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 3: healthy All star, still believes that they'll get in. He said, quote,

850
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: we're going to be there top six for sure. I've

851
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 3: got confidence in us. We all have confidence in that

852
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: locker room that we're going to be there in that

853
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: top six. If we're in the play in game or whatever,

854
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 3: we're in the playoffs, we're going to be there. See

855
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 3: it's kind of confused.

856
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: Hold on, we're gonna be top six. But then he said,

857
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: if we're in the play and we'll still make it

858
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: and be in the playoffs.

859
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, this thing there, well, I think it's confusing for

860
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 3: all NBA players. It's even confusing. What does it mean?

861
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 3: What does the playoffs mean? Number one? Number two? Like,

862
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 3: do we get into the playoffs? I think he's saying,

863
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 3: if we're in the tournament, we're gonna win and then

864
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 3: we're gonna be in the top six. Like the six

865
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: teams are the only six teams that make the playoffs.

866
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: To be at all.

867
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 2: Hold On, hold on, hold on. He said that that

868
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense because you're not a top six team.

869
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: If you're in the play you will not be one.

870
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 3: No, but he thinks that if you win, then you

871
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: get into the real playoffs, which are the top six teams.

872
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: I think anyways, I'm interpreting. Well, no, I know it's

873
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: I know it's a team. But he said, we're going

874
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 3: to be in the playoffs. We're going to be in

875
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 3: the top six. Anyways, what he really means is we're

876
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 3: going to be in the actual playoffs. Sure, I think

877
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 3: he means that we're going to get out of the

878
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 3: play in tournament. And I believe too. I think, you

879
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: know you said that.

880
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 2: I don't.

881
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: I think they just got to win one game. I

882
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 3: think they're going through some because they will be, you know,

883
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: in that seven eight game. They'll probably very very very

884
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: likely be the seventh seed if they don't make the

885
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: actual top six. And they're they're going through some lessons

886
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: right now which I think will help them in the

887
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: play in tournament. They lost to the Bulls on Saturday

888
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: night where they just couldn't hit a shot in that

889
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: first half. They were one of eighteen from three in

890
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,760
Speaker 3: the first halfletes so they got down nine team points

891
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: and then they did fight back. Ye a game of it,

892
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 3: and I think, listen a huge part of it. I

893
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: mentioned they have one healthy all start. Their other one

894
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: is Jared Allen, who's been missing the last ten games.

895
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: He elected not to have surgery on his broken finger,

896
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: and he's starting to do some things, quote do some

897
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 3: things in practice. So I do think he will eventually

898
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: come back here these last few games because he elected

899
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: to keep the recovery period shorter and he should be

900
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 3: helping out. I think we should all be they obviously

901
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: not we, I mean we as a because I'm part

902
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 3: of the stands of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but everybody in

903
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise organizations should be happy with a

904
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 3: winning season no matter what happens the rest of the way.

905
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: But to them, it would be disappointing if they don't

906
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: get in and they desperately need Jared Allen. I mean,

907
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 3: he's an All Star, and I think we probably don't

908
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 3: talk about it because we're kind of tired of talking

909
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 3: about all the injuries that they've had. They lost their

910
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 3: starting backcourt essentially I mean called sex and was coming

911
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 3: off the bench, but Ricky Rubio as well, and they've

912
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 3: gone through so many injuries. So hopefully Jared Allen comes

913
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 3: back and makes this a fair fight. But I do

914
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 3: think everybody should be scared of them obviously if they

915
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: get it together. But yeah, fifteen days, you got to

916
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: start getting it together, and hopefully Jared Allen comes back

917
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: to help that.

918
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, any notes from that big game on the weekend,

919
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 2: Bulls pulling it out ninety eight ninety four in Cleveland,

920
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: like tessad though Cleveland got back into it and it

921
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: was a game.

922
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty eight points in the paint for the Bulls.

923
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 4: They also took twenty five free throws. I thought they

924
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 4: actually were like focusing on getting the ball inside and

925
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 4: you could definitely see the absence of Jared Allen in

926
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 4: the Bulls just being able to attack inside and continue

927
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 4: to try and get to the rim, which is not

928
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 4: always a strength for the Bulls. But that was a

929
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 4: huge win. The Bulls have played terrible since the All

930
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 4: Star break, but they've had two must win games, the

931
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 4: Raptors and the Cavaliers, and they took care of business

932
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: in both of them. Though it was a little dicey

933
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: in the end of the fourth quarter of this one,

934
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 4: just like it was against the Raps, but getting both

935
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 4: of those tie breakers, it's like getting an extra one

936
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 4: game lead when it comes to playoff seating.

937
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Coves just couldn't hit a three the Caves needed

938
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 5: last season, seventy two game schedule that would have been perfect. Yeah,

939
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 5: they would have finished fifth or something like that. But look,

940
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 5: they have to take away from this season. Lots of positives,

941
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 5: you know. Yeah, Garland obviously in All Stars. So with

942
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 5: Jared Allen Mobiley's gonna be fantastic. So they've got lots

943
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 5: of good pieces. I think Kevin loves under contract for

944
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 5: another year. I think his presence as a veteran has

945
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 5: been really good too for the young guys. So this

946
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 5: might not be any more than first round fodder. Maybe not,

947
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 5: who knows, but still it's lots of positives to take

948
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 5: out of it.

949
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: Trey Loser the weekend. What you got.

950
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 4: Tough weekend and a tough road trip for the Utah

951
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 4: Jazzz and two. Over the weekend. They're one and four

952
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 4: through their first five of six on their longest road

953
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 4: trip of the season, They've lost four straight We kind

954
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 4: of talked about it a little bit already. On Friday,

955
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 4: they lost to the Hornets and Charlotte just crushed the

956
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 4: glass against the Jazz, which is very strange considering these

957
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 4: two teams. Sixteen offensive rebounds for Charlotte which turned into

958
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 4: eighteen second chance points. You mentioned at lead done. Mitchell

959
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 4: had a chance, a couple of chances really down the

960
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 4: stretch in this one, missed the layups said it was

961
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 4: the easiest shot he had all night and still just

962
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 4: went off. He also bricked a three over the top

963
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 4: of the backboard. Hornet's made a lot more plays in

964
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, which hasn't been their strength but has

965
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 4: been a problem for the Jazz. They followed up that

966
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 4: loss on Friday with another one yesterday to the Mavericks,

967
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 4: and this was a big one. No Rudy Gobert, no

968
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 4: Hassan white Side, Bogdanovic has been out for quite some

969
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 4: time at this point, and Donovan Mitchell got rolled up

970
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: on sprained his ankle, looked a little gimpy in the

971
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: second half of this one, finished up going four for thirteen,

972
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 4: So the Jazz were basically having to play small ball

973
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 4: against the Mavericks and the Mavericks are just way better

974
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: at it. Thirty two, ten and five for Dancic, twenty two,

975
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 4: ten and five for Brunson, seventeen threes for the Mavericks.

976
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: It was just get Mike Conley up here. Somebody's going

977
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: around him, driving kick is going to be there, or

978
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 4: a layup at the basket. So I don't know. Without

979
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 4: Rudy Gobert back there, it was like kind of taking

980
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 4: their pick. The Mavericks were between Conley and Donovan Mitchell

981
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 4: and Georgie Clarkson when he was out there as well.

982
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 4: Those are three small guards, and if you don't have

983
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 4: your defensive player of the Year candidate back there, it's trouble.

984
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 4: So that loss dropped Utah behind Dallas for a fourth seed.

985
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 4: Utah down into five right now, and the MAVs are

986
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 4: dying for home court advantage. They haven't had it since

987
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 4: Danchich has been there in Dallas, and they want the

988
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 4: match up with Utah in the first place, because Utah's

989
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 4: banged up right now. Like I said, they've lost four straight.

990
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 4: They're playing Dallas again here this week, so there's a

991
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 4: lot of pressure on the Jazz right now, and it

992
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like they're handling well at all.

993
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 5: It feels like we are getting it too Dallas and Utah.

994
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 5: It just matters just you know, depend on who gets

995
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 5: home court. But honestly, the matter would prefer it. But

996
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: I don't think they're afraid of going to Utah either.

997
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 5: I think they just feel they match up well because

998
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 5: they do go small, and again, injuries obviously play a

999
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 5: part here, but they I just think they feel we

1000
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 5: can take this team. We can spread the floor, and

1001
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 5: if everyone's hitting threes, it's tough for the Jazz to defense.

1002
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 5: So I hope we get it. I think it'd be

1003
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 5: a fun series. But and it certainly feels like it's

1004
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 5: hitting in that direction.

1005
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. The Jazz feel like one of

1006
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: the more depressing playoff teams sure, as they sort of

1007
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: limp into the playoffs here and who they're gonna play,

1008
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: and just like, is this the end of this sort

1009
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 2: of iteration of the team too. I know I'm getting

1010
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 2: ahead of myself, but you know, if they go down

1011
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: in the first round, and maybe it's not even all

1012
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: that competitive, it would be bad. I think for the

1013
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: Gobert Mitchell pairing moving forward, maybe they look to blow

1014
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: that up, but look, that could be months still from now.

1015
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: They could surprise people too. They are good team when

1016
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: they're healthy, but it just feels something about him right now.

1017
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they have a lot of things to overcome,

1018
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 3: and then they got to play a playoff team. You know,

1019
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert's come back. Donovan Mitchell had an injury there

1020
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 3: that he came back from, and so they got to

1021
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: get it together. And yeah, it feels like this could

1022
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 3: fracture if they get bounced. For sure.

1023
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: I would like to give a loser of the NBA

1024
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: weekend to what in the hell is going on with

1025
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 2: the All NBA voting criteria? All Right, if you don't

1026
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about, you probably weren't on Twitter

1027
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,720
Speaker 2: this weekend. It started with Mike Singer tweeting, I'm told

1028
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 2: that both Jokic and Embiid will be eligible at both

1029
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: forward and center on the All NBA vote, so both

1030
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 2: players can make First Team. Okay, that's shared. Mark Stein

1031
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 2: jumps in. It'll be the third season in a row

1032
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: that both Jokic and Embiid will be on the All

1033
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 2: NBA ballot at both center and forward, whether either of

1034
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 2: them get enough votes to be a first team forward

1035
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 2: when neither of them really plays forward is another matter,

1036
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: he continued, This is mark Stein. If Embid or Jokic

1037
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: gets more center than forward votes, neither can make first

1038
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 2: team as a forward, no matter how high they're total.

1039
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 2: Because players get placed at the position they get the

1040
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: most votes. Okay, that makes sense, right they get Yes?

1041
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

1042
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 4: Where are we running here?

1043
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: Just pick a fucking center. Why does all of this

1044
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: talk about all NBA is getting me fucking pissed off?

1045
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: And mister temper boys coming to play. I'm so all

1046
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: of these podcasts now we listened to about all NBA selections.

1047
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: They're not even arguing about the players and the merit

1048
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 2: of their season and stuff like that against one another.

1049
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 2: It's like just turns into like, is her Garters are

1050
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 2: your forward? Oh there's a center? Can we get him

1051
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: as a forward? I'm like, until the NBA would just

1052
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: I mean they should do it, Just say, just pick

1053
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: the five best players for all NBA first team, pick

1054
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: the top fifteen for all NBA teams. Don't worry about

1055
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 2: positions at all. Until they do that, you have to

1056
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: sell these guys are centers. Make make a pick.

1057
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 4: Make a pick, that's why they shouldn't go top five.

1058
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 4: People should just make a pick. But you know, it

1059
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 4: just obviously shows how much people care about which number

1060
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 4: team you're on, or second or third.

1061
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: No, it's like it's they shouldn't, that's but they don't.

1062
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: They don't. Bill Russell made who Bill Russell three first

1063
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: teams a bit. We didn't hear a single thing about

1064
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: Wilt having way more than him.

1065
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 4: They should have changed They should have changed it so

1066
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: Wilton Bill Russells could both get out. Yeah, well yeah,

1067
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 4: I mean that's what they would have been doing. I

1068
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 4: guess it is honestly ridiculous. Aren't changing this. If anybody

1069
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 4: votes either of those guys is forwards, then I'm a forward.

1070
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 3: Well y, yeah, I know your thanks.

1071
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: Man.

1072
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 3: Jogic has to be voted at guard guard.

1073
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Like last year, Yo kicch was All

1074
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 2: NBA First Team center and Embiid was second. Those were

1075
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: the two guys in the running for Most Valuable Player,

1076
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,879
Speaker 2: and Yo kich won it. Okay, fine, so it could

1077
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 2: be vice versas this year. It could be the same

1078
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: as that. But this because this is what this wouldn't

1079
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: have to mean right right, that all of the voters

1080
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: get together and say, okay, what are we doing. Okay,

1081
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: let's put embiid as our center. Let's all though Yo

1082
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 2: kitch as are four. I guess they could technically do

1083
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 2: that and that would get them all on the first team.

1084
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 5: But like why because he doesn't even I just get

1085
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 5: rid of positions.

1086
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 4: I know.

1087
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 3: But until they do that, do you think at getting

1088
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 3: rid of center at least? And then forward got.

1089
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 4: More centers than anything else right now though, I.

1090
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 3: Know, but they would make more on them. Yeah, but

1091
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 3: then if it's just forwards, you got a better chance

1092
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 3: that you'd have more.

1093
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 4: If it's just forwards. Everybody's saying, how come we can't

1094
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 4: put yo kitchen and bead on there? It continues, but

1095
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's honestly ridiculous. There should you should

1096
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 4: just have to pick one, yes, just like you have

1097
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 4: to for the m VP.

1098
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 3: That's fair.

1099
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 2: That's fair right now until they completely just change it

1100
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 2: and just say pick yeah whoever you want for your

1101
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: for your first five or in your first top fifteen.

1102
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, he would be the top five players though,

1103
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 3: if it was just if it was guards and forwards,

1104
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: or if it was just open, if it was open,

1105
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 3: if it's guards and forwards, Yo kitchen and beatter on there,

1106
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 3: or if it's just open okay, yo kitchen and beater on.

1107
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna Yeah, Joannis, Yo Kitchen Embid are

1108
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: three of the best players in the league because they're

1109
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: the three front runners for MVP, so they would be

1110
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: in this hypothetical on the first team. Yeah, yeah, no brainer.

1111
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't mind guards and wings.

1112
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 4: I know.

1113
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay, well that's a.

1114
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 3: Whole guardguments or guards and guards.

1115
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: But you know what, I know, I would tray like

1116
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: don't don't like half asked if they're going to go

1117
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: that way because I just heard I think it was

1118
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 2: Bill Simmons saying, is well, is Donnovan Mitchell really a

1119
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: shooting guard? Like was he more of a point guard?

1120
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 3: It was like, what does that matter?

1121
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I'm just saying like you can get

1122
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 2: into you can do this with every single player with

1123
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 2: position guard.

1124
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well he was like talking about.

1125
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 2: Like who's having who is the best shooting guard in

1126
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: the league this year? And he says, okay, it's Booker.

1127
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: But then they're getting into like, well, where's Mitchell. I

1128
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: just can't believe this is where the arguments are going

1129
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: that we're just having it into like Kate, I'm forward

1130
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 2: to guard, Luca forward o guard, DeRozan forward to guard.

1131
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it's so silly.

1132
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's still there. But Luca Dun's

1133
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 5: positions on NBA dot Com used to be god and

1134
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 5: power forward, So well, what is a position?

1135
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 2: Well, exactly exactly my point. I mean, you can literally

1136
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys in today's NBA. You can

1137
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: say he plays like four positions at different times in

1138
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: the game.

1139
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 5: And of the first team. So it shouldn't be like, well,

1140
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 5: we have to break it down because the game doesn't

1141
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 5: get played right.

1142
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 2: They should play the game exactly.

1143
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 5: That's how they sort it out.

1144
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 3: And you have.

1145
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 4: To plays against the first It's.

1146
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 5: Like the accolade and the prize is like we want

1147
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 5: to acknowledge who the five best were this season. No

1148
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 5: one should be like, well, you can't have him on

1149
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 5: there because there's already a guy who plays that position

1150
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 5: in in something that doesn't matter.

1151
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't I think this is going

1152
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 2: to be all for not. I think the voters ultimately

1153
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: will just make a decision. It'll probably be very close

1154
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 2: right between chin embiide in terms of the first team,

1155
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 2: and we'll and we'll go from there. But I I

1156
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: don't see even how this works unless they all call

1157
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: each other up and say, okay, this is what you

1158
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 2: have to agree on it to put let's say forward

1159
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: to get him on the first team.

1160
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got faith in the voters that they're all

1161
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 3: going to vote him as a center, vote him as

1162
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 3: a center though.

1163
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 4: They should well one will only make the first tame.

1164
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah I would.

1165
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 2: There's that part too.

1166
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 4: Here's gonna be the worst thing that could happen would

1167
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 4: be if say, whichever one, say Yokic finishes as first

1168
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 4: team center, and then Embid wins MVP, right then what yeh?

1169
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 5: Come on, isn't that Makasol one defensive Player of the Year.

1170
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, somebody else's first team center or something like that.

1171
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1172
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 4: People are probably gonna take their cues from Zachlo on

1173
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 4: this one. I'm sure he'll come out with another positions

1174
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 4: podcast where he officially lays down his ballot of which

1175
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 4: guy's going in the forward and center, because I know

1176
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 4: he's gonna do that. And when Zachlo does something, people

1177
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 4: tend to get tilt.

1178
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that means a lot of voters have to

1179
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: follow suit they do Otherwise there you're not going to

1180
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 2: get in there because whatever one you get more votes

1181
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 2: at is the positional spot. That's how they decide it.

1182
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: Right now. I just like, it's just wild to me.

1183
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 2: And and then it is crazy if this does somehow

1184
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 2: happen that Embiid and jokicure somehow, you know, they skirt

1185
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: around the rules a little bit and they both get

1186
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: on the first team. Well, then what is that it

1187
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 2: does have an effect like down the line in terms

1188
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 2: of like, well, now you're taking away a forward position.

1189
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 5: Right right right?

1190
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: So does that means then Towns is the second all

1191
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 2: NBA centers, that mean go Bear is the third?

1192
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 4: Oh jeez yeah yeah, but like Towns is a bit

1193
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 4: of a forward for sure.

1194
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:19,959
Speaker 2: I don't know, put him.

1195
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 5: Off on the first is definitely a center.

1196
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 2: No, I say, he plays point sometimes he handles the ball.

1197
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: You see him have the balls hand. He might be

1198
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: a point card to.

1199
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 3: Me, point center defensively play defense point cards.

1200
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 2: All right, it's crazy. Am I alone out there with

1201
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 2: the stream team. I just can't believe how into the

1202
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 2: weeds we've gotten with all this positions.

1203
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 4: We have, we have too much data skeets. You should

1204
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 4: not be able to go in Basketball Reference and find

1205
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 4: out what percent of minutes somebody has played at a position.

1206
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 4: We should not have access to this information because we've

1207
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 4: taken it too far. Now, we've gone too far with

1208
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,720
Speaker 4: the numbers. Seventy of voters.

1209
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 3: Luke had done.

1210
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 5: Aire is still listed as a forward guard, not a

1211
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 5: power forward anymore. He used to be power forward.

1212
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 3: But look at Dongeons is not a forward.

1213
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 2: I agree, there are there are some where you're like, Okay,

1214
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 2: it's a little bit more up in the air, like

1215
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 2: I guess Derozen even though as a guard, even those.

1216
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 5: For those that position is the most interchangeable of all

1217
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 5: the forward guard like yeah, Paul George zactly, all those guys.

1218
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 5: It's like it's the same thing, right, you know, Like

1219
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 5: a point guard is pretty distinguishable, a center usually is

1220
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 5: pretty distinguish. The rest are very like you know, I mean,

1221
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 5: so get rid of position. Yeah, they're not going to No,

1222
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 5: you don't think they will. I doubt it.

1223
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 2: I doubt the more we start, the more we do

1224
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 2: this and have these like can we hear than maybe

1225
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: they will.

1226
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, the only thing is it could be a position

1227
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 5: at a time where let's say they have no positions,

1228
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 5: then maybe no center makes any of the teams because

1229
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 5: they don't have to default back to one, right, and

1230
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 5: then big man you know what he's like, it doesn't get.

1231
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 2: The big man respect.

1232

Speaker 4: It's true you already got rid of it in uh

1233
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 4: in the game, and like the three best players are

1234

Speaker 4: centers now crazy.

1235
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 2: Exactly, then then just keep it and have to pick between.

1236
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 4: About picking stuff having a preference.

1237
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,680

00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 2: rotation sheets because when you don't, then you got to

1244
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 2: do the whole like, well we got now we're cleaning these,

1245

1248
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 2: to tweet the.

1249
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 3: Night three eat overnight Wow Twitter.

1250
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 5: Learly tweet was a huge weekend, of course, in the movie industry.

1251
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 5: You know, I was glued to the TV last night

1252
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 5: watching No actually, I missed the Oscars last night. I

1253
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 5: tuned in a night earlier to see the Bigger Award,

1254
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 5: the Razzies, The Razzies Big and Channel oh, one of those,

1255
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 5: one of those channels. Deep in the thing. Anyway, anyway,

1256
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,240
Speaker 5: rough rough has been a rough season for the Lakers.

1257
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 5: Lebron's had an okay season, but it was a bit

1258
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 5: of a rough weekend for him in the film industry

1259
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 5: because you talked about Shaq and Steph winning winning an Oscar. Well, Lebron,

1260
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 5: I guess he won. He cleaned up at the Razzies.

1261
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 5: He went three for four after Space Jam and New Legacy,

1262
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 5: picked up Worst Actor, Worst Remax Remake, Sequel, Worst Screen Combo,

1263
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 5: and he was nominated for Worst Picture. So look, Lebron's known,

1264
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 5: of course for three one his biggest moment in the

1265
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 5: NBA world. This is perhaps not his biggest moment. I'll

1266
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 5: just say the Worst Actor. I'm surprised he won that

1267
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 5: Worst Picture didn't win. I would have switched those two.

1268
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 5: I didn't think his acting was Worst Actor. I thought

1269
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 5: the movie was worse.

1270
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 2: I'd have to see the whole list. Yeah, what one worst?

1271
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't see, Actually I didn't see.

1272
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,240
Speaker 2: And what about the combo him and bugs him.

1273
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 5: And maybe.

1274
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess algae rhythm.

1275
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 4: Algae.

1276
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 2: So so there you go.

1277
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, three Razzies, well deserved, well deserved.

1278

00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 2: Not that Nora was saying something to me last night

1282
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 2: about Lady and Diana could be wrong. You would know,

Speaker 2: Can't be happy about that?

1292
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 5: Wasn't it Tom Green who turned up and accepted all

1293
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 5: his rosies?

1294
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 4: Freddy got fingers.

1295
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 5: That was the worst picture, I think thought movie several

1296
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 5: several awards.

1297
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 4: Really a clean sweep of the two thousand and one

1298
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 4: Razzies for Freddy got fingered. Yeah, he did win Worst

1299
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 4: Actor as well, and worst screen couple Tom Green and

1300
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 4: then The Animal He Abuses and Freddy Got Fingered. Yeah, tough.

1301
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 4: One saw it opening night though, me and sixteen of

Speaker 2: Yeah.

1304
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, like all of the senior bro was at high school.

1305
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 4: We all went and watched Freddy Got Fingered together.

1306
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 2: And I was dying. I loved it.

1307
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 4: I thought I was gonna win Best Picture. Number one

1308
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 4: scene Daddy, would you like some sausages? The backwards man.

1309
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 4: He can go as fast as you can. It holds up.

1310
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 4: It totally holds up.

1311
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 5: Well.

1312
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 2: We were not high on Space Jam and New Legacy.

1313
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 2: I remember in our film session was a big no fan.

1314
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 4: I w lai though I didn't think it was the

1315
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 4: worst movie.

1316
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm it seems like a stretch.

1317
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 3: You know.

1318
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 2: Part of me thinks they do this because Lebron headlines.

1319
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 2: You're gonna get those clicks. Yeah, and it worked.

1320
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 3: Got tweeted the night for yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1321
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 5: I sort of forgot that he did the Razzies, but yeah,

1322
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 5: and I was like, okay, yeah, great.

1323
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 2: Okay, uh pick the results Brought to you by Bett

1324
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 2: MG on this Friday Night's Game Warriors Hawks down at

1325
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 2: the Fortress. Atlanta was favored by two and a half.

1326
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: Task the only one to take the Warriors, and he's

1327
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 2: the only one to get the yel because Atlanta got

1328
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 2: the victory covered. It's tight here in our March pick

1329
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: a battle. Listen to this. Tray's eleven and eight. Tass

1330
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: and I are ten and nine. So a game back

1331
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 2: of Tray and then only a game back from us

1332
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 2: is Lee at nine and ten. Two games separate first

1333
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: and last here in March's pick them. So tonight's game

1334
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 2: is obviously important. There's what three or four nights here left.

1335
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: It'sames in March. So what we got right?

1336
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the Eastern Conference standing's up in here

1337
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 3: in terms of the pick and payoff. It's tight, and

1338
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 3: we're gonna stay in the East for tonight's game. Chicago

1339
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 3: visiting the New York Nicks plus four and a half.

1340
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: The Knicks got a cushion at home. They can lose

1341
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 3: by four and still cover. So Lee, you're not not terrible, spot,

1342
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 3: although you're on an island on your own, just like

1343
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 3: Lady Liberty there, what do you got, man? You think

1344
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 3: he can you think the Knicks can play the kids

1345
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 3: man can be all right.

1346
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I also didn't have any choice. I got a

1347
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 5: little bit like, you're right, but you know, I look,

1348
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 5: what do you do that sort of stuff? Bobby, I

1349
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,479
Speaker 5: will say, I will say all the two teams Nicks

1350
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 5: have probably been playing better lightly, but they're on the

1351
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 5: second nod of it back back there at home. But yes,

1352
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 5: it's the Keys. If he plays the young guys, I

1353
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 5: think they've got the legs to at least keep it. Yeah,

1354
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 5: full points is fine.

1355
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 2: I think the Bulls and Nicks have played like oddly

1356
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: close games this year too, So yeah, in a loss

1357
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: in the cover, Yeah, still in play. So all right,

1358
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 2: good luck to you, and yeah, the rest of us

1359
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: have Chicago there. All right, let's uh, let's wrap this
