Speaker 1: Podcast listeners, This is for you. Welcome to No Dunks,

00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: presented by Fan Duel. I'm test me here in the

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Classic Factory with me. It's the man in the middle

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: tree Kurban heh a, and the one who makes the

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: magic happen every single day. It's JD. Hello, what's up? JD.

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: We had a big night in the NBA last night.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: Oh, huge night. A lot of games going on.

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna have to take some SIPs of water.

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: You just reminded me that you're thirsty. Yeah, it's got

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: a large season in your throat, no doubt, Yeah you do.

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, there's lots to get to and

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: get through all that, but there's just so much to

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: deal with.

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 2: Pollen wise, Yeah, a lot to deal with.

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 3: Holland wise. Your car is probably yellow. I mean you

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: go to a white car. I don't remember. I had

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: a white car for quite a long time, and I

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: felt like it affected it. Maybe not as much as

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: a dark colored car.

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: But still it's out there. It's given us gratchy throats,

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter. It makes the basketballs all the

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: more sticky. And that's why we got two wedges.

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: That's that's your Wedgie saying.

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's right there.

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: We had two sixty five and sixty six. I like

27
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: Rudy Goberts. He's kind of falling to the floor, so

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: he just one throw his hand at it and sticks it.

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: And then Trey Jones in Philadelphia got one for the

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls. There again, sixty five and sixty six pace

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: for seventy five. According to our friends at weggie tracker

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: dot com, who do the math for us now don't

33
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: have to do it ourselves, seventy five. We're already at

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: a record season and that would be a very big number.

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we get over seventy that's pretty crazy.

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: It would be crazy. So yeah, twelve games to get to.

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: We'll get to some other fun stuff. There's a rival

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: league for the NBA that we're gonna talk to a

39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to a one on one as

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: a date. Yes, a little later on. But there's so

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: many really good games. Let's start with jam Murray dropping

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: fifty three points for the Denver Nuggets, his fourth career

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: fifty point game, while his teammate had a mirror twenty

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: three points, twenty one rebounds, and nineteen assists. That's what

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Jokic does. His thirtieth triple double of the season. A

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: one forty two thirty five game Denver over Dallas. Pretty fun, Trey.

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: This was a very fun game. This was a very

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: march game. Both teams shot fifty percent or better from

49
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: the field. The Nuggets had nine turnovers on the night.

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 3: The Mavericks had four turnovers on the night. These two

51
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: teams said, let's just play offense against each other and

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 3: see how it goes, and it turned out to be very,

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: very fun. Denver kept Dallas at arms length basically all night.

54
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: They could score any which way they wanted to. Jamal

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 3: Murray was so hot in this game that the broadcast

56
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: in the first half was lamenting that he doesn't do

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: his arrow out of the quiver celebration anymore. Then he

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 3: made another three and they're like, atleash the quiver. That's

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: how hot this guy was that they were begging for

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: his old celebrations, speculating that maybe he's just grown out

61
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: of it a little bit at this point in his career.

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: Jokich also totally dominated a tiny MAVs team. They ran

63
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: Dwight Powell out there as their center. They ran Marvin

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: Bagley out there as their center. They played some minutes

65
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: without a big man at all, and that's why Jokich

66
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: was able to put up a twenty plus rebound game,

67
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: finished in with twenty one. That's a lot of roast beef.

68
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 3: Almost got to the twenty twenty twenty game as well.

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: But fifty three for Murray, a monster game for Jokic

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: as well. Just an enjoyable exhibition of offensive excellence from

71
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: this team.

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: They were great. You throw in.

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson had another nice game. Christian Brown had another

74
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: nice game. Twelve for Johnson, eleven for Brown. Those two

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: guys have been in double digits each of them in

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: eight of the last nine games for the Nuggets, Johnson

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: shooting fifty eight percent from the field fifty two from three,

78
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: Brown fifty nine and forty during that time frame. I

79
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: feel like these two guys have been activated recently, seeing

80
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: the patterns, like Spencer Jones told us, like, you just

81
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 3: got to adjust to play them with them. Brown had

82
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: to get healthy, Cam Johnson had to adjust to playing

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: with Jokic and figuring out where his shots are going

84
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: to be. But they're flying up and down the court.

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 3: Both of these guys scoring pretty easily, and I think

86
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: them rounding into for them looking good. You throw in

87
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: Peyton Watson having a nice game last night. Nuggets were cooking.

88
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: Not that it was hard for them, but they looked great.

89
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the depth is important in that the raining champs

90
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: are that extremely deep team and okay see, and it's

91
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: difficult to compare the Denver Nuggets to Oka See in

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: that light. But as you mentioned, you throw the names

93
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: out there. They didn't even have Aaron Gordon in this game.

94
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones, as you said, he's just said we need

95
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: to adjust. He was thrown into the starting lineup because

96
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon was out and they had enough bodies to

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: do that. They're extremely deep. I'm okay relating them to

98
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Oka See in all honesty is yeah, Peyton Watson was

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: the first guy off the bench this one, coming back

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: after a game off twenty one off the bench for him.

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: But I understand the broadcasters getting a little uh. They're

102
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: just looking for something creative to do. I mean, yeah,

103
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: because you can splash three after three after three if

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you're Jamal Murray. So the broadcast was just saying my

105
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: nine threes. We want to say something different. The two

106
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: man game with him and Yokich, even though they have

107
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: the depth, like you're gonna have to rely on Cam

108
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: Johnson and Christian Brown and Payton Watson, and then you

109
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: go through with Tim Hardaway and everybody, Bruce Brown, everybody

110
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: just producing. But the two man game is what it

111
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: comes down to, and it's literally impossible to stop. When

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray is having his best season of his career,

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: he is, He's grown to this point already this season.

114
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: He just continues to do it again. The second fifty

115
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: point game of his season, fourth of his career. I

116
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: don't know how you stop at the step backs. He

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: even led a fast break. I'm just pulling up. He

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: was calling clearouts. He was going at Naj Marshall, nah,

119
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: g Marshall, Nah, This ain't Andrew nem hard for me. Washington,

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: p J and your eye everybody. Man. It didn't matter.

121
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: I know that you're right about the height and they're

122
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: thrown out. Dwight Palace, Well, yeah.

123
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: That's part of the way to stop the two man

124
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: game of the Nuggets.

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: Is to have better players.

126
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: Because you're talking about the two weakest positions on the

127
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: court for the Mavericks at guard and center.

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: I would say, Naji Marshall not a guard defensively, so

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: they exactly, So they.

130
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: Threw him nicely. He got lit up.

131
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, He's had no.

132
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: Chance in this game, and the Nuggets knew it. But

133
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: who cares because Jamal Murray is on a roll right

134
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: now and Jokic is feeling pretty good as well.

135
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, as you said about Wemby when he said, the

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: game is defense. When it comes to Jamal Murray and

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Nikola Jokic and the Denver Ruggets, they have the best

138
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: offense in the league and they can beat any defense

139
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: in the league. And that's part really true that literally

140
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: no defense is going to stop him when we would

141
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: help or somebody to that level. We'll get to okayce

142
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: in Boston a second. There's lots of players on those

143
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: teams that can do that for them. But again, Nuggets first,

144
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: best offense in the league, twenty second best defense. But

145
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: they can still win a championship just like they did

146
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: in twenty three. So it'll be fun to see them going.

147
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: It's also a fun fifty point race for Jokic and Murray.

148
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if the broadcasters talked about this, but

149
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: Nukleokich has five career fifty point games. Jamal Murray has four.

150
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 1: Little little fun number there, kind of surprising. I guess

151
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: that Murray wouldn't have more. Maybe are you surprised by

152
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: either of those or just like no, no.

153
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: No, I mean has the ball more? Yeah, yeah, but

154
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: you know he's the number one guy.

155
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: I assume he'll have more.

156
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: It's a decade for for jamalink Again, this is his

157
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: best year, so you're having two of his four in

158
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: this season. He's gotten better as his career has gone on.

159
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: We'll see if that continues into the second decade of

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: his career. Second decade. All right, let's go to Boston.

161
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: Hold on man, Cooper Flag, I guess playing. We haven't

162
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: talked about Cooper Flag in a month. I feel like

163
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: his games are kind of anonymous right now because the

164
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 3: Mavericks aren't doing anything. He was all over the place

165
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: last night, no defense from the Nuggets, just like no

166
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: defense from the Mavericks. But twenty six points, eight rebounds,

167
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: seven assists, two steals and a block for Cooper. He's

168
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: twenty seven and seven since the All Star Game, and

169
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: we basically haven't brought him up at all. We talked

170
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: about conk Nipple all the time. The percentages are just okay.

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: He's turning the ball over a lot as he's operating

172
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: once again as their point guard. But he's better at

173
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 3: it now than he was early in the season. So

174
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: he's trying to make Rookie of the Year still a debate,

175
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: and I think he's having a hard time because these

176
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: Maverick games are just happening.

177
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and nobody really knows about it.

178
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: That is totally true. He came back at that on

179
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: March fifth, and it was a little slow, just percentages wise,

180
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: as you said, not efficient in his first five games,

181
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: but has picked it up in about his last ten games.

182
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: So it's good mentioned him.

183
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: And forget about it.

184
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: With some points up on the board. They were able

185
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: to put one hundred and thirty five points on dever Nuggets.

186
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: Some talent there, there's no doubt. But yes, it is

187
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: flying under the radar here as we get to the

188
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: final tennis games for Cooper Flag in his rookie campaign,

189
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Let's Go to Boston was clearly finals preview out there.

190
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: It sure felt like in Boston that this was something

191
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: that we could see. In June, the Celtics snapped Okac's

192
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: twelve game winning streak. The Jays were at it. Jalen Brown,

193
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: Jason Tama had great games. Shay had thirty three on

194
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: the other side, What are your takeaways?

195
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 3: The Jays were really good in this one. I thought

196
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: the last time we saw the Celtics was again, was

197
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: in their loss to Minnesota.

198
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: That was Sunday. Feels like forever ago.

199
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: You get that many days off during the season at

200
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: this point, it's very weird. But this was not that

201
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: at all from the Celtics. I thought that they were

202
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: very connected. I thought they did a good job of

203
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: blending Tatum and Brown. I thought Jason Tatum, his second

204
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: quarter stint really got the Celtics back on track. It

205
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: was a tough first quarter for Boston, only twenty points,

206
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: but in the second Tatum went for eight points and

207
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: three assists, got the Celtics into a rhythm. And then

208
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown comes in at the end of the second quarter,

209
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: was really big in the eleven zero run for Boston.

210
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: Finished with seven and two assists in that quarter. And

211
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: then Jalen Brown was just special the entire night. He

212
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: was phenomenal. I thought in the second half, thirty one

213
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: points and eight assists on the evening, had fourteen and

214
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: four in the third quarter, didn't turn the ball over

215
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: and then really slammed the door on the Celtics, I thought.

216
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: In the fourth gave Sga a taste of his own medicine,

217
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: hitting him with a pump fake pump, fake pump fake,

218
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: got him off his feet, drew a foul on a

219
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: mid range jumper.

220
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: Sg's like, that's my move man.

221
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: Highest usage season for Jalen Brown, like we've talked about,

222
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 3: but also his highest assist percentage, and the turnovers aren't

223
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: so bad. I feel like he has been focusing in

224
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: particular on his playmaking since Tatum came back. The driving

225
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: kick was really really nice from Jalen Brown in this one.

226
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: I think the thunder probably win this game if SGA

227
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: plays forty eight straight minutes. He was thirty three points

228
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: on ten of twelve, shooting ten to twelve at the line.

229
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: They just could not stop this guy. But he only

230
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: played thirty six and they didn't get any really big

231
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 3: contributions from anybody else. A real quiet game for j

232
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 3: dub and you know the Celtics had Tatum playing perfect

233
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: second fiddle. I thought Prichard was pretty solid. Shireman was

234
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: pretty good. So a better team performance all around from

235
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: the Celtics and you know, they were a little bit

236
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: more rested than the thunder were advantage them certainly, But

237
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: to see Boston come back after a tough first quarter,

238
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: I thought it.

239
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: Was pretty big. Yeah, they were looking to make a

240
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: statement against Oka See hadn't beat them in their last

241
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: three games against them, and then this one was a

242
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: total team effort. I love the bickering you mentioned Shay

243
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: and Jalen. They were kind of going at it. Jalen

244
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: was clapping in his face a little bit, trying to

245
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: get him just under his skin a little bit though

246
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Shaite doesn't allow that to happen. But the Celtics just

247
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: overall were they better team, extremely healthy Oka See team. Yeah,

248
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: disappointing that besides say who was extremely slick that you

249
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: mentioned Jalen Williams seven points two for nine over three

250
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: from three. I'd call it two for eight with a turnover,

251
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: but you know that's just me, I'm not the scorekeeper.

252
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: Alex Caruso one of eight from three, who the Celtics

253
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: were allowing to shoot. They were just totally relying on Shae.

254
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: Those the threes to start the game for Crucim were

255
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: wide open that he was clanking, and I would say

256
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: there was one make with a toe on the line,

257
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: so I'd say he was two for nine either way.

258
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: I'm just being finicky here in March. Got to get

259
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: finicky about games on the other side. Yeah, Tatum turned

260
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: it around the second quarter. The defense started clicking for

261
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Boston and Jason Tatum had his best game since coming back.

262
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: I thought he had a rebound, brought it up, pull

263
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: back on Jadubb, danced on Chet from the perimeter, got

264
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: to the rim. Then he had step back on a

265
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: pick and roll. So this is this is the Jason

266
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: Tatum we know. He had his first four shots. Okay,

267
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: so he started doing some double and that's what happened

268
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: last year or excuse me, you know in the championship

269
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, he just took a seat back

270
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: and allowed Jaylen Brown and the other guys to do

271
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: their thing. And you could see that that the pick

272
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: and roll from high up in the fourth quarter was

273
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: exactly what they looked like in the past. And he

274
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: was just throwing passes everywhere. Seven big assists were really

275
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: key in this game, everywhere to Cata to Jalen Brown

276
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: and so nineteen points, twelve rebound, seven assists. It's a

277
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: lot quieter than the games we just mentioned from the

278
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: Denver Nugets, but I thought it was his best game.

279
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: He had to help block, he guarded Shane in the

280
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: last minute. I thought he yeah, everybody just working on

281
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: a string there and Jalen Brown, some of those moves

282
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: were awesome. The gather and two step through two guys

283
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: had me wondering if that's a travel. It's always hard

284
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: to tell where the gather starts. He had okay, see

285
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: coming off the bench, that's a travel. But he was

286
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: just I thought, more decisive a lot of the times,

287
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: like from the corner he went by door, or the

288
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: Caruso catch spin and dunk. Whin Cruise was trying to

289
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: boy him. He just quick to move past them and

290
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Celtics were ready. Nineteen to two and second chance points, well, okay,

291
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: see just twelve or thirty seven from the three point lines.

292
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: You know, yep, if you outshoot, okay, see, you have

293
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: a chance. And I mean, look, this is like you

294
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: said a finals preview I saw. I think Mike Wilbon

295
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: was making some news saying if he had a MVP vote.

296
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: It's going to Jalen Brown.

297
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: He's probably feeling pretty good after last night because Brown

298
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 3: was massive in the fourth quarter in particular, like you're saying,

299
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: when he puts his head down, he can get to

300
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: the rim on basically anybody. He's doing against the best

301
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: defensive team that we've got going in the league. I

302
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: also liked Baylor Baggins hit two straight three pointers. I

303
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: think in the third quarter Drew Carter yelled out business

304
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: in the front party in the back, straight up Mulletman

305
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: for Baylor Baggins. But like, look, he played pretty well.

306
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: Like the Celtics or the thunder bench was pretty solid.

307
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: Like the thirty nine points, that's a good bench performance,

308
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: but they didn't get any outstanding guys like fourteen from Pritchard,

309
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: I think eleven from Shireman as well. They all did

310
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 3: their part on the thunder side. But going the extra

311
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: mile I thought was big for the Celtics, and you

312
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: can tell that like the time that Baylor Shireman stepped

313
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: into the starting lineup has been really beneficial for this team.

314
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: Because Tatum comes back, he takes Shireman's spot, but Shireman

315
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: has gotten all these reps playing with the first unit

316
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: playing against better players, and now he looks really good

317
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: as an option for them off the bench.

318
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he won't bite. He produced a shade turnover just

319
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: because he didn't bite, and Shae threw it out of bounds.

320
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Him and Hugo Gunzalez, even though he had limited minutes,

321
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: everybody coming off the bench, You're right, was benefited from

322
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: just playing as starter minutes. I thought the same sort

323
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: of story happened with the Denver Nuggets when Jokic was

324
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: out and we saw Peyton Watson and that kind of

325
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: thing happened, and yeah, they were extremely strong. They don't

326
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: have mullets like baylor Shire, but that's just the cool

327
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: thing to do for kids. You're right, not so much

328
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: like long hair at the back for everybody, but the

329
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: classic like shave some of the side of your hair,

330
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: at least some of it. Yeah, like like baseball haircuts.

331
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: To me, you see a lot of guys in baseball

332
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: that'll have like trimmed up in the sideburned temple region

333
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: and then the flow coming out the back.

334
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: So they got that. That's a gen Z sort of haircut.

335
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: I feel like right now they've got Hugo Gonzalez obviously

336
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: has like the gen Z Bangs. So they're bringing in

337
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: these young guys off the bench and they've got the

338
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: cool hairstyle. So that's just good for them. You know,

339
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 3: it's good that they're doing that.

340
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: It feels like it's such an easy job for Maybe

341
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, but I think hairstylist and barbers kind

342
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: of have it easy. They just go shave, shave and

343
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: like let the rest flow, like they shave the sides

344
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: a little bit.

345
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: Sure, it's not a hard work on top. Maybe I'm wrong,

346
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: Just let it go. I mean, maybe they got to

347
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: trim it up something they do.

348
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: That's why I'm I'm yeah, I'm underestimating their skill set.

349
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: Just I'm telling you, just don't watch haircuts on Instagram.

350
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: That's why I unfortunately know too much about haircuts right now.

351
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: I watch one video and suddenly I'm getting every breakdown

352
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 3: of the cut.

353
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got hit too.

354
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: It's nice though, you know, it is nice to see

355
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: a transformation for people.

356
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's inspiration. It's motivation to how we're

357
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: going to change it up. That was a fun game

358
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: there in Boston that you could tell that good game.

359
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 1: Crack was into it. THEBA was full of them though.

360
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: Last night, let's go to Minnesota Mini historic comeback on Houston.

361
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: Houston scored the first thirteen points in overtime, Houston one team,

362
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: and then Minnesota responds with fifteen straight bang. That's the

363
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: biggest OT comeback since they started track and play by

364
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: play nearly thirty years ago. And it's an important game

365
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: in the standings for Minnesota to win. This your takeaway

366
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: from Minnesota beating Houston o.

367
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: T this is literally unbelievable to me. I went to

368
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: bed during overtime, like I thought Houston was going to

369
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: be blowing this game out. I know it's past midnight

370
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: Eastern time. I'm thinking, okay, they're up by thirteen. Shengun

371
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: is doing monster dunks. I just watched Minnesota completely melt

372
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: down in the fourth quarter. They blew an eleven point

373
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 3: lead with two and a half minutes left. Jade McDaniels

374
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: is limping around. Yeah, Rudy Gobert files out, Nas Reed

375
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: gets ejected. Things look bad for the Timberwolves. I'm like,

376
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: all right, get some rest, Buddy, two shows tomorrow. You

377
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: need to be at your absolute peep am. I I

378
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 3: don't know, because I went to bed and then I

379
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: saw this. I saw the headline yeah, and I was

380
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: like wow. I knew that was a bad collapse for

381
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: the timber Wolves, but I didn't know it was a

382
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: historic collapse. And then I looked at it again, I

383
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 3: was like, wait a second, here, the Wolves are the

384
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: one who pulled off the comeback in the end. Completely

385
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: blew my mind, but I went back. I watched the

386
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: last five minutes of overtime. I watched the last five

387
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: minutes of regulation to see how did this actually happen

388
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 3: to go from a twenty six to two run from

389
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 3: Houston to the timber Wells completely flipping it on him.

390
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: I just feel like a little TBS for the Rockets,

391
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: tight butthole syndrome. Jabari Smith had a wide open three

392
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 3: pointer from the corner, missed it. Sheng Gun has a

393
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: tough layup, but it's over. Julius Randall, that's a shot

394
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 3: he can finish, missed it. Kevin Durant goes to the

395
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: line down by two. Just got to make a couple

396
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: of free throws. Miss is the first one, they do,

397
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: the intentional miss on the second one. Just shots that

398
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: should go in for the Rockets when they're playing that, well,

399
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: we're not going in. Meanwhile, Julius Randall, I thought, Kyle

400
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: Anderson and Dante Devincenzo as well showed up big time

401
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: in overtime. Anderson creating Randal getting to the rim when

402
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 3: he needed to, and Devincenzo just no conscience. He's gonna

403
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: shoot it if he feels like he's open at all.

404
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 3: He was making plays. They were all making plays, and

405
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: even Terrence Shannon Junior, this guy didn't play at all

406
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: in the game, subs in the last two and a

407
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 3: half minutes and was making defensive plays, scrapping, getting rebounds.

408
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 3: He was just active out there. That's a guy that

409
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 3: had a little bit of expectations coming into the season.

410
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: Hasn't had a great second year, I don't think, but

411
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: to be thrown in a weird situation like that was

412
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: pretty good for him. So yeah, I could not believe

413
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 3: that the Wolves actually came back and did this.

414
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,239
Speaker 1: I totally agree. It didn't feel that way. Even with

415
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards being held out. I thought, Okay, then maybe

416
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: the Wolves can do it, But then no, I would

417
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: ASSUMEU either. So they start Mike Conley and yeah, guys

418
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: like DJ Shannon coming through with some key plays. This

419
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: was it's overridden by the two games. I think that

420
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit, but there are some

421
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: just incredible stuff, like that last play in regulation where

422
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Durant gets doubled as he's trying to win the game

423
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: and his pass is captured by Nazrid turn it over.

424
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: So here comes Julius Randall the other way and looks

425
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: like he's gonna finish Alper and she gun out of

426
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 1: nowhere with a monstrous block and he falls on his face.

427
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: He gets up and he's trippling blood as he leaves

428
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: the court. I think that is some scenic stuff. Yes,

429
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: it felt like shngoon. It's just fitting for that guy.

430
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: That guys is tough, and it was perfect then.

431
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: So they had a big.

432
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: Block in overtime as well, had big dunk in overtime,

433
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: like the Rockets seemed to be rolling through that point,

434
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: Like Durant had a pretty poor game up until the

435
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Cut Fire couldn't miss for like twenty straight minutes,

436
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: it felt like, and then suddenly the offense just completely disintegrated.

437
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: They weren't able to get any sort of good looks.

438
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 3: They're getting poorly timed eight second violations, not even able

439
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: to get the ball past half court. I don't know

440
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 3: if they just took their foot off the gas or what,

441
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: but I think this is a combination great win for

442
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves. It mattered a lot with regards to tie

443
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: breakers and seating and all that, and also just a

444
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 3: brutal loss for the Rockets to be able to rally

445
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 3: the way they did in the fourth quarter. You know,

446
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: a'll comeback like that can take take it out of you.

447
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: This was an overtime game, so maybe they were fatigued

448
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: at the end there, but it kind of just felt

449
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: like short circuiting from the Rockets.

450
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Yes, I liked how they had some guys who still

451
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: fought through. All of them, they still fought through. Like

452
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: read Shepherd. He started one of nine from three and

453
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: to start ot he splashes that three. Then he got

454
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: a steal that got the shngoon dunk going. So after

455
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: that you just thought it was over.

456
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely is.

457
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: But you know, Durant fought through. He had a slow

458
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: start shooting the ball, but to get the thirty points

459
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned the miss free throws, Yeah, he hit every

460
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: single one until that until his overtime miss. So yeah,

461
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: it is a weird one. The thing that's not that

462
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: weird is that the Rockets had twenty turnovers. That happens

463
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: with this team, and that's the unfortunate part. But I

464
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: mentioned Read Shepherd because they are sort of they're they're

465
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: going to this Reed Shepherd era now. They're assuming Fred

466
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: van Vliet's not playing this year, so they're starting Read

467
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: Shepherd now. And then I did like how he got

468
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: it going in ot despite his bad start, so, you know,

469
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: just trying to pick some positives out. Other positive was

470
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: that the guy Anthony Edwards always says is the key

471
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jaden McDaniels had a great game

472
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: as always. He was limping around and fighting through that,

473
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: but twenty five points and two steals to go along

474
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: with Randalls twenty four. These two teams will play again

475
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: on April tenth. Houston is in sixth now one and

476
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: a half back of Minnesota in fifth. I guess Minnesota

477
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: has a bit of a tougher schedule. They have nine

478
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: games left and six around the road, but they are

479
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good road team. So TBD on that.

480
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Minnesota to me is kind of TBD

481
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: every night, even in this game, they were TVD.

482
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

483
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: They were beat for a second there after it looked

484
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 3: like they had a win going into the fourth quarter.

485
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: Very up and down both of these teams, and very

486
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 3: up and down specifically in this.

487
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 2: Game as well.

488
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: And hopefully we'll be back soon to join their team.

489
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: With nine games left, let's go to Detroit. I thought

490
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: this was super fun to start the night. Atlanta was

491
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: pushing that thing, just moving it and Dylan Johnson will

492
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: was throwing it around. Great assists to start this game

493
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: to Kiel, Alexander Walker was hot. They're up twenty one

494
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: in the first half, but the Pistons come back to

495
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: send it to overtime win. C J McCollum. C J

496
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: McCollum helps win the game for the Atlanta Hawks in Detroit.

497
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Another overtime game here, Trey.

498
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a wild comeback as well, because, like

499
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: you're saying, the Hawks were looking awesome through the first half.

500
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: They had a twenty one point lead with maybe thirty

501
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: seconds left in the half. Duncan Robinson, I know, hit

502
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: a three to cut it to eighteen. Going into the

503
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 3: third quarter. It was a four point game with nine

504
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: minutes left. They went on such a huge run the

505
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 3: Pistons did to start the third quarter tied with six

506
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: and a half minutes, and then we just played like

507
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: a normal basketball game after it was fast break city, yeah,

508
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: in the first half, and then you know, just back

509
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: and forth, lead changes ties for each team. And then,

510
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: like you said, c J McCollum was really really good.

511
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: He scored eleven straight at one point for the Hawks

512
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, added another three points only in overtime.

513
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 3: But I think he's been pretty since coming over to Atlanta,

514
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: first and foremost, when you're comparing him to Trey Young,

515
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 3: CJ's playing is.

516
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: Out there, that's helpful.

517
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 3: I think he has just been doing his normal CJ

518
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: McCollum stuff. You know, eighteen or nineteen points per game,

519
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: pretty decent percentages, can play, make a little, turns the

520
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: ball over a little, but not killing you either way.

521
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: But he was big for them last night. Jalen Johnson

522
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: good as well, Nikkeil Alexander Walker good as well. And

523
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: I liked that the Hawks have basically turned to Dyson

524
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: Daniels into Draymond Green. They play him as the role

525
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: man for Jalen Johnson a lot of times, so they

526
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: can get some weird switches. And also Daniels is pretty

527
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: solid but the floater and a pretty solid short role guy,

528
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: just like Draymond. You don't necessarily think the three pointers

529
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: going to go in when he takes it. But they

530
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: found a way to at least make him into an

531
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 3: effective offensive player rather than somebody that you need to

532
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: worry about ever touching the ball. So I think that's

533
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 3: been good for Atlanta. Detroit still had a chance to

534
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: win this one. Jalen Duran had a little bit more time,

535
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 3: I think. Then he took on the tip in on

536
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 3: the last possession for Detroit, tried to get it off

537
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: a little bit too fast, kind of babied it up there,

538
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: but they could have won. Detroit twelve offensive rebounds in

539
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: the second half. You could tell the halftime speech was, Hey,

540
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 3: we got to play harder. We're letting the Hawks just

541
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: run and play two free, which is the case in

542
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: the first half. But in the second half, Detroit buckled down.

543
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: They didn't have Kid. Maybe they pulled this win off

544
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: if he plays, but big time win for the Hawks.

545
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: They jumped up to fifth in the Eastern Conference with

546
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: the win.

547
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they go into Detroit and steal it. That first

548
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: half was so important. Maybe Detroit just having beat the Lakers,

549
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: having won four straight, got that Dannis Jenkins game, and

550
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: you maybe they started a little slow because of that.

551
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: Because the first half it was I thought the Jalen

552
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Johnson show, Nikoil. Alexander Walker was scorching hot. He had

553
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: fourteen points in the first quarter. But then the Jalen

554
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: Johnson passes, the outlet passes. He's leading the break with

555
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: those great passes to Zachary resaw Scheid push ahead that

556
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: Zacharyshache ended with the dunk, push ahead to Dice and Daniels,

557
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: the bounce pack to Ayak and Kongu. They were awesome.

558
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: He was so good, and then he scored twenty fifteen

559
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: in the second quarter, six of seven for him. I

560
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: like that little ESPN graphic, you know, going into the

561
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: second half that they show where the guy hit the

562
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: shots from. It looks pretty cool, especially with its Jalen Johnson.

563
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: So that was fun. You know. It was fifteen six

564
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: fast break points for Atlanta in the first half and

565
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: the whole game changed. Yeah, I did like going to

566
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: Dyson Daniels. It's a good point about him. Just here

567
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: you go man, just do your thing inside at the

568
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: paint at some nice finishers too.

569
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 3: Eight offensive rebounds like he's active. Oh yeah, they're making

570
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: him less of a decision maker, I think right. Like

571
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: they've got CJ as a lead ball handler, Nikaile Alexander

572
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 3: Walker is a lead ball handler as well. Jalen Johnson

573
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: takes up a huge chunk of possessions. So what is

574
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: Dyson Daniels going to do? You don't want him as

575
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: an off ball three point shooter, doesn't make any sense.

576
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: But involve him some way and let him do what

577
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: he's best at, which is floaters and finding guys and

578
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: getting busy making plays all over the court, whether that's

579
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 3: offensive rebounding, steels, deflections, that kind of stuff. They figured

580
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: out a way for him to be effective.

581
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, make the decisions. They know that they can rely

582
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: on him to do that. He'll even just throw it

583
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: up onto the glass and miss if he has to,

584
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: he can go get it. I mean, he's just he's

585
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: so big. Kudos to all the fans in that little

586
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: Caesars arena that yelled a ball and he missed his

587
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 1: one three pointer of the game. I could hear him

588
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,959
Speaker 1: through the speakers. It was well done.

589
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 2: He Gabe was pretty solid last night to him.

590
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: Hey, Gabe was alright.

591
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: A couple of threes and another bucket.

592
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: Okay, they needed him because they took away Nikiel Alexander

593
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: Walker in the second half. They did a pretty good

594
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: job there. Yeah, the Pistons came alive. It's good to

595
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: see Kevin Hurber playing basketball again a little bit. He's

596
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: doing some stuff out there.

597
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: He's been playing more recently for sure.

598
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had a nice take steal and

599
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: setting up Durham, who yeah, just missed that last one,

600
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: just missed it, just missed it. Good game from him.

601
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: Twenty six from him, twenty two from Tobias Harris. Great

602
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: game from Asar Thompson, who had eighteen points on eleven shots.

603
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: Kid's there. It's a little different, I assume, but anyway,

604
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: a good game there. So we've gone through four games.

605
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: Another eight out there, un chunky skid. Joel Embiid returned.

606
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: What yeah, baby, the game kind of came out of nowhere.

607
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: Paul George returned.

608
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty five six and seven for Embiid in twenty

609
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: eight minutes. Paul George went for twenty eight six and

610
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: four with four steals in twenty six minutes as the

611
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 3: Sixers squeaked by the Bulls one fifty seven to one

612
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: thirty seven. This game was over in the fourth quarter

613
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 3: and they're like, Paul George, you haven't played in like

614
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: a year and a half and felt like so they

615
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: just let him go crazy in the fourth quarter and

616
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: he completely dominated.

617
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: I was at Mensley on Tuesday night and a.

618
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 3: Guy told me his two dark horses in the Eastern

619
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: Conference were the Charlotte Hornets and loves the Hornets right now, okay.

620
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: In the Philadelphia seventy six.

621
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you buy them at all as a dark

622
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: horse here in the East. They got and Be back,

623
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: he looked great. They got Paul George back, he looked great, Maxie.

624
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: It's just a hand injury. He can return from that

625
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: and still be good.

626
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: I buy them, buy them.

627
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 3: I think they can win a first round series. Yes, yes,

628
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: right now they are a play in team only by

629
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: a half game back of the Raptors, so they would

630
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: be playing the Pistons, who theoretically would have Kid back,

631
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: or the Celtics.

632
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: Who just got Jason Tatum back.

633
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a bad spot for them. I would

634
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: want them to move up.

635
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't. I don't give him. I

636
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 3: don't give him a chance against Boston. Yeah, New York

637
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: I think is quite unlikely. Detroit, We'll see what kid

638
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: looks like when he comes back. I think that's just

639
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: a question mark to have. Cleveland, I don't know. I mean, Philadelphia,

640
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 3: they're the if men. If this guy's healthy and playing well,

641
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 3: if this guy's healthy and playing well, if this guy's

642
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 3: healthy and playing well. Literally they're top three or all

643
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: question marks right now. I think it's quite unlikely that

644
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 3: they win a first round series, but it's fun to

645
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: talk yourself into.

646
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm not taking them against the Pistons or

647
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: the Celtics in a three six series. Let's say they

648
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: get up to play the Knicks. I'm still likely taking

649
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: the Knicks, although I am gonna enjoy watching Mitchell Robinson

650
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: as a Joel embiid stopper. There aren't too many huge

651
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: bodies that can go up one on one against him.

652
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: I am picking the Sixers against the Cavs possibly. You know,

653
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: it is a big ifs, a bunch of As you said,

654
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: they're not far from the fifth spot where they would

655
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: play the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're only a game back of

656
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: these Atlanta Hawks. Yeah, I gotta get excited when I

657
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: see Joel Embiid come back after several weeks out with

658
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: an oblique injury and dropping points. It is the Chicago Bulls,

659
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: but you know you're looking good. Thirty five points and

660
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: Paul George comeback. So yeah, the pieces are there to

661
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers if that's the matchup.

662
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially they got Alan out right now. I mean

663
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 3: he's supposed to be coming back soon.

664
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're tiny.

665
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are two teams that would need to prove

666
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: it for yeah in the playoffs.

667
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: A guy who won't have to prove it is Victor

668
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Webbin Yama. Okay, the Spurs Grizzlies. Just the dunks were

669
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: fun from Spurs Grizzlies. There's a lot of good dunks.

670
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Stefan Castle windmill on Taylor Hendrix, uh huh and then

671
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: sit down, stare down after he's sitting sitting down, stair down, Yeah,

672
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: and staring at Taylor Hendricks for battling him. And then

673
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: the the Gg Jackson and Wemby back and forth.

674
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: That was pretty cool.

675
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

676
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: GG Jackson kind of dunked on kind of stuck it

677
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: by him at the very least, great dunk from GG

678
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: Jackson on the very next possession, Victor with one of

679
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: his coolest looking dunks. I thought, like he really cocked

680
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: that one back to dunk on GG Jackson. Yeah, nice

681
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 3: win for the Spurs. Yeah, I agree, cool dunks, and

682
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: the announcers are like, this is turning into a dunk

683
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: contest because it wasn't much of a basketball game.

684
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: The highlights were great.

685
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: A guy who's all I was making highlights. We buried

686
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: Luca here because he scored forty three against the Pacers,

687
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: but it's his fourteenth forty point game of the season,

688
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: most by a Lakers since Kobe nearly twenty years ago.

689
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: It's a lot of forty point games. Yeah, he's having

690
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: a great season. And you know, we mentioned the Cavs

691
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: as a potential match up against the seventy six ers.

692
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: They're coming off a big win that we were giving them.

693
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: We were talking about them with Donovan Mitchell and hard

694
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: and performing against the Magic big win. I mean, it

695
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: was a good win. And then they get beat pretty

696
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: bad by the Miami Heat, who change up to their

697
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: starting lineup Davian, Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Norm Powell, Andrew Wiggins

698
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: is back, and vam Adebayo. Yeah, so those five guys.

699
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: As much as we talk about the Western Conference gonna

700
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: be full of tough playoff series, the mightbe Heat in

701
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: a series are still going to be tough. So yeah,

702
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: those teams have come on. We you know mentioned Charlotte Horns.

703
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: Just all those teams in the play in There's no

704
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: sub five hundred team in the Stern Conference standings from

705
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: one through ten, unlike the West, so you know, they're

706
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: all going to be fairly tough. We'll see what the

707
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: magic can become. They're the tenth seed right now.

708
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: But that was a much needed win for the Heat

709
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: and definitely good to get Wiggins back. I wonder if

710
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 3: that will be their starting lineup because it's pretty small Mitchell, Hero, Powell,

711
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: and Wiggins like it is. Wiggins all is kind of

712
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: a stretch as a four, though he can guard up

713
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: a little bit. But a great fourth quarter I thought,

714
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: in particular for the Heat, really blew out the game there. Yeah,

715
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: Luca eleven straight with thirty or more. Reeves had twenty

716
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 3: five and eight, Lebron had twenty three and nine assists,

717
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 3: three more dunks. This guy, I don't know what happened

718
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 3: in these few games he missed, but whatever sort of

719
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: body treatment he did, it's working very well and he's

720
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 3: playing incredibly complimentary right now to Luca and Reeves, who

721
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: are both balling. Do you see Caitlin Clark was a photographer?

722
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: I did got some nice snaps, did she I didn't

723
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: see her actual snaps. I just saw her.

724
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was there. She took a lot of photos

725
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: a little bit. They're good.

726
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: It's probably a nice camera. I think what other stuff happened?

727
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: The Clippers, the Blazers, and the Warriors all won last night.

728
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: Like you said, only the Warriors are under five hundred

729
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 3: in the postseason right now. They got a chance to

730
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 3: get to five hundred. I think it's unlikely. They're like

731
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 3: three games under, but.

732
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

733
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: At least the Warriors gotta win. I was gonna say encouraging,

734
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: but not really. They were playing the nets and they

735
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 3: needed all forty eight minutes basically.

736
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 2: To get it.

737
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: But at least they did it, and the Wizards snapped

738
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 3: their losing streak. Tasks twenty six for our guy, Julian Reese,

739
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: Ace Bailey threw down a couple of nice dunks or

740
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 3: reverse and then he had another one came up on

741
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: the other side. Another good Will Riley game. I love

742
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 3: to see these rookies showing out in Mickey Mouse March.

743
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 3: The Kings, the Pacers, and the Wizards all maxed out

744
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 3: at sixteen straight losses this season. The Nets are at

745
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: nine straight. They've got nine games left. They could take

746
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: the crown for longest losing streak of the season if

747
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: they really really want it. But maybe sixteen will be

748
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: the number this year. Good win for the Wiz.

749
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben sir Off even had a dunk.

750
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 2: He did yeh beencer Off was Duncan.

751
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: That was nice. All right. That's it from the dozen

Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteen, So it looks like seven ten is

774
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 3: the earliest game. Texas Purdue, so cool, so doubleheader each night,

775
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: quadruple header. Oh yeah, Texas Purdue tonight, Iowa, Nebraska, Arizona, Arkansas.

776
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you got to play through the sixteen teams.

777
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: Illinois, Houston, Yeah, and Saint John's Duke. So actually, there's

778
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 2: a lot of games tonight. Here we go, a lot

779
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: of games, John, I'm excited. Illinois Houston. I'm very excited

780
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: for this match.

781
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: Are you Illinois?

782
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I want Illinois to win for sure.

783
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: But Houston's got that rep as being a good.

784
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's two versus three. We got NBA talent on

785
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: both sides. Good stuff, good, very good stuff.

786
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: Now it's time for the updown report. Why'd you like?

787
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm not no Saint John's stitch, and I'm sorry that

788
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: I misled you.

789
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Did you fan duel? It is that? Yeah, that's what

790
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: happens to me. That's why I assume I did. Because

791
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: they don't split up the days. It's almost like an

792
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: Infinity scroll. Just keep keep betting, keep betting. They don't

793
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: separate the days. They don't.

794
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 3: I mean I even saw that said Friday, I just

795
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 3: didn't know what was referring to. Yeah, I'm so sorry

796
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 3: to everyone out there, but we're gonna make it up

797
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 3: to you with a great updown report because we got

798
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 3: some weird stuff, which these are all weird topics if

799
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 3: I'm being honest with Leaks started surfacing this week that

800
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves are undergoing a rebrand for next season, which

801
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: was followed closely by leaks of what people think is

802
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: going to be the new logo which is kind of

803
00:38:54,960 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 3: halfway between the original Timberwolves wolf and the current Howling

804
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: at the Moon logo, and as you can see if

805
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 3: you're here with us on YouTube, going back to the

806
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: original Timberwolve's colors.

807
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: Of like a royal blue and a green.

808
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 3: Allegedly the uniforms that they're going to be doing are

809
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 3: kind of like a combination of eras with the original

810
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 3: blue and green colors, the tree trim from the Kevin

811
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: Garnett era, and this logo here that splits the difference.

812
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 3: So tests, are you up or down on the Timberwolves

813
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 3: leaked new logo?

814
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: I am absolutely up. I don't think I'm playing the

815
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: nostalgia card here. I think I don't think it's just nostalgia.

816
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: I think it is the smart move for a new

817
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: ownership to go back to that. But I do how

818
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: I do like how they're going back to the old wolf,

819
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: but they've changed the direction of the wolf. It's not

820
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: just a profile photo, you know. So it's like the

821
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: wolf used to stare right at you. I mean the

822
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: wolf currently I should say, like it's theirs right at you.

823
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: Turn it into the side a little bit. It looks cooler.

824
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: I do like the font from the the min the

825
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: M I N N logo better than the current one. Okay, yeah,

826
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: I'm more with it. And yeah again profile versus the

827
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: one that's staring right at you way better. Yeah, and

828
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: I like the change in font so old colors, you know,

829
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: not not exactly the old colors, as you said, but

830
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 1: I think they took the right things from the old one.

831
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: Give a little twist and it's better.

832
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: It's better.

833
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: Like the logo that they're currently using, the one with

834
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: a wolf staring at you and that font.

835
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 2: Now you're you're wrong about this. The wolf. The original

836
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: one has the wolf staring right at you.

837
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, one is pretty similar to this where he's profile

838
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: and howling.

839
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's what I'm mixing up. But the wolf, now,

840
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: even with that font, that combination is what I was

841
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: getting at it. It's just like it's it's it's kind

842
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: of gimmicky to me a little bit. And this one

843
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: is just more classic a class look of the font

844
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: and the profile of mister wolf. I agree.

845
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: This mister Wolf looks way more friendly and pettible to

846
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: the current one looks a little bit more agro. We'll

847
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: see what the jerseys actually look like. But I think

848
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 3: this is good because the Timberwolves kind of need a rebrand.

849
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: And you can tell because every time they wear their throwbacks,

850
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 3: whether it be like the Tom Googliata blue and green

851
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 3: era or like last night they were wearing the black

852
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 3: Kevin Garnett with the tree trim, everybody likes that more

853
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 3: than what they've currently got going on. I feel like

854
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 3: what they have right now with the big bar across

855
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 3: the top is a little a little bit dated to me,

856
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 3: so they're in need of a rebrand. I see the

857
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 3: stream team here is actually saying fifty nine percent down

858
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 3: on this, which is kind of surprising. Maybe it's because

859
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 3: we're only getting a tiny glimpse of what may be.

860
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 3: But I'm encouraged, and I think the Wolves are due

861
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 3: for a refresh of their look, and I think dipping

862
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: into the archives and not just going for a straight

863
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: nostalgia play as a good way to do it.

864
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 2: Kind of combined things, which to.

865
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: Me is like what the Bucks did to The Bucks

866
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 3: have had one of the best rebrands.

867
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: I think they had an angry.

868
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: Deer for a while and now they've got like still

869
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 3: an angry deer, but like they've incorporated some vintage looks

870
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 3: as well. Are there any other teams you think that

871
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: could use an update?

872
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: Wow? Which one stands out as in need of an update?

873
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: Like I was when I was going through all these

874
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota timbles and why I was sort of conflating all

875
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: of them. I was combining all of them after looking

876
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: at them, and that's why I was saying, like the

877
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: one that was forward looked, it looked gimmicky, more gimmicky.

878
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: But they got rid of that for a reason because

879
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: it did look gimmicky. They just had like a short

880
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: run with those. And yeah, they've gone to the profile,

881
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: which which was smarter. Now, now if I go through

882
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 1: every single logo here, I'm going to make some mistakes

883
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: again and probably combine some logos. I don't know, nothing,

884
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: nothing jumping out to me. Is there one that?

885
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a few. I've mentioned Dallas before. They're kind

886
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 3: of similar to Minnesota to me, and that their older

887
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 3: looks were more appealing, and they've been wearing the current

888
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 3: Dallas set for like twenty years, it feels like. And

889
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 3: to me, I thought they were going to rebrand after

890
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 3: Dirk Noviitski retired, but then it was like, Hey, we

891
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: got Luka Doncic He's wearing the same jerseys as Dirk.

892
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 2: How cool is that? And then they got Cooper Flagg.

893
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 3: It's like, look, he's wearing the same jerseys as Luca

894
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: and how cool is that? But I still think they

895
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 3: could use a new one. I also think Phoenix is

896
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 3: pretty good, but they can be better. And then Houston

897
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 3: is one that I've kind of like, all right, maybe

898
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: it's time for something new from Houston as well. They

899
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 3: have changed up sort of the detailing of their jerseys,

900
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 3: but I'm not a huge fan of like the h

901
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 3: R logo that they use as.

902
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: Their main thing.

903
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 3: So I think those are a couple of teams that

904
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 3: just look like like early two thousands to me, and

905
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: you know it's.

906
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty six. Let's see what you got.

907
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see what you got. I will say to

908
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: the stream team who who doesn't approve, imagine it was

909
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: a better photo of the logo, like this leaked photo.

910
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: It's just not the best of doesn't It doesn't sell?

911
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 3: Ye what you're saying that a top down photo of

912
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 3: a sweatshirt that was in a gift shop isn't the

913
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 3: perfect way to launch it.

914
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: No, no, yeah, take a better photo and then you

915
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: might like it. It's not this is just a quick leak. Apparently,

916
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: apparently they have stopped, if I'm remembering the tweet correctly,

917
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: they've stopped selling anything with the logo on it. So

918
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Yeah, exactly has happen eventually. And

919
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: plus Alex Rodriguez and Mark Laurie just took over. You know,

920
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: it's time to Sure they're a lot younger than Glenn Taylor,

921
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: and I'm sure they're understanding what we got to do here.

922
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: Let's go back. You're right about like you don't got

923
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: to do the same thing over and over, but sometimes

924
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: you just got to go simple, to go back to

925
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: the old wolf, the nostalgia play. That's the right place sometimes.

926
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: And I think in this case it is nice.

927
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 3: You think a Rod has approven this. I think he's

928
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 3: in the meetiingans taking a look at the new wolf.

929
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: I could pet that wolf.

930
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think Mark Laurie is probably more it's got

931
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: more of the voice, okay, because he's big into different

932
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: companies and all that. But I don't think they make

933
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: any decision without a Rod. I don't know why. I

934
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: think that, but I do you. I just do.

935
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 2: I totally agree with you.

936
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 3: A Rod has the final say on all decisions regarding

937
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Timberwolf. Speaking again other businesses, The Athletic reported

938
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 3: this week that quote emerging global basketball league, currently known

939
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 3: as Project B, which has already signed several top women's players,

940
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 3: is now eyeing the men's game. Lebron's business partner Magaret

941
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 3: Carter is involved with this, and Project B plans to

942
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: focus on developing the best young talent in the world

943
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 3: and extending the careers of established players. They plan to

944
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 3: launch both the men's and the women's league next fall.

945
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 3: Men's league would run from November through April, broadcast games

946
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: on YouTube. So tasts, are you up or down on

947
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: the Project B League?

948
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: Project B? Project B what a name? Yeah?

949
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: That might be a working title name.

950
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's exactly what it was. I got

951
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: to go down. As far as the men's league goes,

952
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: the women's is totally different in that it doesn't run

953
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: at the same season as the w NBA season, so

954
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: it makes more sense and because a lot of WNA

955
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: players have done that for years. But then you're going

956
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: to pair it with the NBA exactly at the same

957
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: time as the NBA season. That is surprising because in WNBA,

958
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: the CBA, as far as we know, says they are

959
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: allowed to play, sign and play in other leagues, while

960
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: the NBA players are forbidden from signing and playing in

961
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: other leagues. So this could be just players, whether it's

962
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: college players graduating and wanted to go play somewhere else

963
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,720
Speaker 1: or European leagues that could be the case, or guys

964
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: like right at the end of their career and they're

965
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: done with the NBA and going to sign. I mean,

966
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: that's the optimal situation, but it just doesn't seem like

967
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: they're going to get a ton of players now. It's

968
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: they just me they may just be taking advantage of

969
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: what the WNBA, sorry, what they're doing with women's players,

970
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: in that they've already got a plan. It was scheduled

971
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: for this fall, but it looks like they're pushing it

972
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: back to to just time it with the NBA possibility

973
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: or with the NBA players excusing men's players possibly, But

974
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: it was supposed to feature six teams of eleven players

975
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: that play seven two week tournaments in cities across Asia, Europe,

976
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: and the Americas and they've got big WNBA names signed,

977
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: really big ones. This one. It doesn't really make sense

978
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: to me because you also have the NBA and FOBA

979
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: introducing another league eventually, yes, in twenty twenty seven. So

980
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: there's just there's I think too many moving parts. This

981
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: kind of feels like to me, when the G League said,

982
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna have the Ignite, We're gonna have

983
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: this team, We're gonna pay them a lot, and this

984
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: is a great alternative to college basketball, and then the

985
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: college basketball came out with the NIL, the G League

986
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: Ignite went poof. They don't need it anymore, it's not

987
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: useful anymore. The league became a minor league. There's just

988
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: too many other options I think for players like NIL

989
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: or going to play in Europe or going to play

990
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: in this NBA and feeble league for this to succeed

991
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: as far as the men go.

992
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 3: To me, it does feel like there's going to be

993
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 3: a lot of competition for the players if they're going

994
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: to be doing the timeline as the same as the

995
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 3: NBA season, which is the same as the NC double

996
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 3: A season. Because they're targeting the best young players. They

997
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 3: say the best young talent in the world. So you're right,

998
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 3: that is a G league ignite sort of mandate that

999
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: they've been given to try and get some of these guys,

1000
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 3: and you know, they pay him enough, maybe they will

1001
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 3: sign with Project B League. The older players, You're right,

1002
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 3: these are good players that they have from the WNBA,

1003
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 3: Breonna Stewart, Alyssa Thomas, people that are finishing in the

1004
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 3: top five in MVP voting in the WNBA, but they

1005
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to play. You would have to be

1006
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 3: making the choice to leave the NBA to go and

1007
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 3: play for this league. So that to me means like

1008
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 3: like you're saying guys that are at the end of

1009
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 3: their NBA career and could maybe get more money to

1010
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 3: go and try and start something new. But I also

1011
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 3: think the competition is good all around. You look at

1012
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 3: the Big Three, like that's still around and that's become

1013
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 3: like a fun place for Joe Johnson to go DeShawn Stevenson, right,

1014
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 3: like just random dudes who have aged out of the

1015
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 3: NBA but can still compete. And you know, Joe Johnson

1016
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: played well enough in the Big Three that he got

1017
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 3: a COVID call up at once a point in time,

1018
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 3: you see the undefeated women's league that's having success, these

1019
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 3: one on one battles that you see on Instagram like

1020
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 3: that has a lot of motion online as well. People

1021
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 3: do love basketball other forms of basketball, So I'm not

1022
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 3: totally down on this.

1023
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like two thirds up. I would say

1024
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: the timing of.

1025
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 3: It is weird, and if you've ever played in a

1026
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 3: men's league, it doesn't sound great to be joining the

1027
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 3: B League.

1028
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 2: You'd rather join the A.

1029
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: League name wise, so change.

1030
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the barnstorming part is interesting as well, like playing

1031
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 3: in cities all around the globe, that's different way to

1032
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 3: grow your fan base globally, I suppose.

1033
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt, no doubt, And that's why it definitely

1034
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 1: works for women at not playing in the w NBA

1035
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: and having that offseason and going around and growing that

1036
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: game as it has grown so much in the last

1037
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: couple of years. Yeah, they're gonna definitely capitalize on that. Yeah,

1038
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: the NBA thing is odd because like for the Big Three,

1039
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: for instance, that's in the summer, and so that kind

1040
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: of makes sense. As an alternative, this would be competing

1041
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: directly with the NBA, timing wise, in different places. It

1042
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be because it's going through Asia. The women's Project

1043
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: B is currently going through Asia, Europe. In the Americas,

1044
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: I thought that if I'm doing the business plan here,

1045
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm capitalizing on going through all those cities and having

1046
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: the men there as well and being able to play

1047
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: in those arenas at the same time. But as far

1048
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: as college players go, you graduate and you decide, Okay,

1049
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to play in this league instead of trying

1050
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: to make it in the G League and trying to

1051
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: get up to the NBA. As much as I use

1052
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 1: the G League, iignite as an example, the G League

1053
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: currently is really good at developing players and moving them

1054
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:44,799
Speaker 1: up to the NBA. So I think players going to say, hey,

1055
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 1: I'm playing in Project B are just kind of giving

1056
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: up on their NBA players careers. We're watching guys like

1057
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: Dominic Barlow. There's just so many that a like actually

1058
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: get up and play in the NBA. Why would you

1059
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: want to go play abroad and give up that that possibility.

1060
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 3: So we got a lot of players from abroad that

1061
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 3: are in the NBA as well. Yeah, not not just stars,

1062
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: but like dudes, you know.

1063
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What are we're talking about?

1064
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: Just if you're good, if you're good in Project B League,

1065
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 2: they'll discover.

1066
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 3: You, Okay, Right, And like I even think the NBA

1067
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 3: was maybe a little hasty in closing down the G League.

1068
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 2: Night.

1069
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe Scoot Henderson didn't turn into a star and

1070
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 3: that was kind of the nail and the coffin for.

1071
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 2: The G League.

1072
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 3: But like Buzzellis is a good player, Jalen Green is

1073
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: a good player. Like, there are guys that have had

1074
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: success from that program. It's just once college started offering

1075
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 3: money as well, that was a better way for players

1076
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 3: to keep the American exposure and get paid for their services.

1077
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 3: But I'm like, I don't know, it'll just be tough.

1078
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 3: They were gonna have to pay these guys so much

1079
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 3: money because like, take a look at like Klay Thompson.

1080
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 3: To me, is a guy who is towards the end

1081
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 3: of his NBA career. He's thirty six years old. Maybe

1082
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 3: he would want to go to Project B League and

1083
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 3: travel around the globe, become a huge superstar there and

1084
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: a team still stays interested in him.

1085
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 2: He's making sixteen million dollars this year.

1086
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 3: It's easy to beat a WNBA salary, you know, even

1087
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 3: after the new CBA kicks in for them. Like it's

1088
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 3: easy to offer a player five million dollars, you have

1089
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 3: to offer a lot of money to be a sixteen

1090
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 3: million dollar contract.

1091
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: As far as Clay goes, it would have to be that.

1092
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: No NBA team is offering him anything. Yes, I imagine

1093
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: it's the end of the career. Guys like Joe Johnson

1094
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: playing in the Big Three, Like, you're kind of done,

1095
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: so they gonna Yeah, they're gonna have to. It's just

1096
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: it rivals so many different things. It happens at the

1097
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: same time with so many things. NBA College and then

1098
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: this Foeba slash NBA league that's going to start in

1099
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, plus the EuroLeague where guys who are

1100
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: playing abroad can go make plenty of money. It's not

1101
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: NBA money, but it is plenty of money. It feels

1102
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: like it's definitely right now. It feels like an answer

1103
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: for the women's game as go and play here or unrivaled,

1104
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: they have options. It feels a little excess as far

1105
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: as maybe maybe maybe it's it's too late.

1106
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I gotta get in now. You

1107
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 3: get expansions coming. But yeah, you're telling me, there's thirty

1108
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 3: players that are good enough to play in the NBA.

1109
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 3: Right now, we're getting thirty new jobs, so why not

1110
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 3: a second league that guys can get some exposure in.

1111
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 2: I think it's I'm actually changing my mind. I'm up

1112
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 2: on this now.

1113
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: They can't make as much money as NBA, so why

1114
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: would any of those players.

1115
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 3: Well that's why they have the schedule the same as

1116
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 3: November through April, so these guys can work their way

1117
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 3: to the NBA.

1118
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's possible. They could also work their way

1119
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: to the NBA. Going to play in euro League.

1120
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 2: Still an option though.

1121
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1122
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 3: I just think having more places and more people looking

1123
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 3: for stars as good.

1124
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: Plenty of options, there's no doubt TBD.

1125
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what they end up doing, because I

1126
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 2: guess that this is like.

1127
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 3: This all also relates back to the photo of Lebron

1128
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 3: and Maverick Carter on a yacht with Jokic's agent. Remember

1129
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 3: all that speculation and that guy's really tied in to

1130
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 3: the international game. So maybe this is a way for

1131
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 3: international players who like play in random leagues and you know,

1132
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 3: have crossovers with different cup sort of things.

1133
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 2: Maybe this is a way for them to get exposure

1134
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 2: as well.

1135
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 3: But it definitely feels like a lot of a lot

1136
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 3: of competition for players who maybe could make it to

1137
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 3: the NBA, but also a lot of competition for these

1138
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 3: other leagues, these secondary leagues as well.

1139
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, it's supposed to be launching, excuse me,

1140
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: at the same time as the NBA and FOEBA league

1141
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: is supposed to start in October twenty twenty seven. That's

1142
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot happening all at the same time. A lot happened.

1143
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 1: So TBD on this one. Although the women's part was

1144
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: supposed to start literally this fall soon, we're supposed to

1145
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: start this fall, and they've signed all these players.

1146
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: Like it's still start it.

1147
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: They could spring and just run a year of just

1148
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: the women's side and do the menutes.

1149
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're saying they're starting the men as well,

1150
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 3: but I mean there's no reason the women shouldn't start.

1151
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 2: No, no, no, yeah.

1152
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: Further along, yeah, oh absolutely, yeah, they signed a bunch.

1153
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 3: Of players, right, speaking to women. I saw a great

1154
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 3: tweet this week on X the Everything app. This one

1155
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 3: came from at Gluten Free Perk who tweeted just got

1156
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 3: asked to go on a date by a stranger, and

1157
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 3: he threw out a couple of suggestions, one of them

1158
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 3: being a one verse one basketball game. Like I'm gonna decline,

1159
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 3: but I completely respect it. I wonder how often this

1160
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 3: has worked for him, how many girls has he's taken

1161
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 3: to the paint so to speak? Tas are you up

1162
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 3: or down on one on one as a date, I'm

1163
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 3: up on it as a first date.

1164
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: We're going first date. See, there's a lot of a

1165
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 1: lot of working parts. If it's a first date, there's

1166
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: got to be other things going on, Like we're not

1167
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: just hey, I'll meet you at the court, bring your

1168
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: shorts and bring your towel or whatever. There's gotta be

1169
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: there's gotta be more involved. But I think it's just

1170
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: a it's just a piece of the date. Main part

1171
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: would be, yeah, we'll go have some dinner. I suppose

1172
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: after we go play basketball. You know, like there's it's

1173
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: got to be a two part interesting. Yeah, I wouldn't

1174
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: just say let's go to the court and have a

1175
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: great night afterward. You know, there's got to be a

1176
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: little bit more involved. But I do think there's some

1177
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 1: definitely positives of playing basketball competition. Yeah, one on one

1178
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: where sweating on each other, sweating on each other, there's

1179
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna be some physicality, no doubt.

1180
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 2: Yes, as getting boxed out.

1181
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 1: That's nice, as the Gluten Free Perk said, Yeah, she

1182
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: she liked the idea, right, she was interesting at least. Yeah,

1183
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: it interested her. I do like you're not necessarily going

1184
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: to go I'm where the players are going to have

1185
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: the idea like I'm going to destroy you and beat

1186
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: you eleven seven. I like that part of it, Like

1187
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: you're just going to show your skill set for me.

1188
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm selfish, and I would say I get to show

1189
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: my skill set without like really trying extremely hard and sucking.

1190
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: I can just play to my level, like sometimes when

1191
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: I slow things down, I can show all my spins.

1192
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: Because because you're not you're not you don't have to

1193
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: be good, Like you don't have to be you're not

1194
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: being If you're not playing like extremely hard one on one,

1195
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: you don't have to you don't have to do anything

1196
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: incredibly good with it. Like it's a date. You know,

1197
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: we're working it out. You're not gonna Yeah, you're not

1198
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: going to school me.

1199
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: You're not throwing bows.

1200
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're doing cool moves.

1201
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 2: Cool moves, you can't.

1202
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: Go overboard less physicality but still some puzzic physicality. So

1203
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: I like, I like the idea. I like the idea.

1204
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I.

1205
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 3: Agree with a diz cup here in the stream team

1206
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 3: as a date up as a first date down. I

1207
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: don't know if this is the ideal first date opportunity

1208
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 3: not a lot of chatting time. I actually was wondering, JD,

1209
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 3: do you think pickleball would be a better choice of

1210
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 3: a date.

1211
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: You're like, you're facing each other.

1212
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 4: Right, Well, you're also could be partners.

1213
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: Right, you could be partners as well?

1214
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, instant ick Really, if I reached out to somebody

1215
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 4: and say, hey, let's go on a date, a pickleball date,

1216
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 4: unless they were over sixty, I guess.

1217
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: But like you and Rachel go and play pickleball. It's

1218
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 2: a fun activity for you.

1219
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 3: I like playing, uh, you know, three possessions of one

1220
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 3: on one against Laura and the drive.

1221
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're married, it's also true.

1222
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I.

1223
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 4: Mean, like, look, it's like, are you gonna, you know,

1224
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: try to cook her or you know, like if I

1225
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 4: ask somebody to go play basketball, I would it would

1226
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 4: be instant. I would be the one getting cooked, right,

1227
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 4: so maybe that's like a setup, right where you know

1228
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 4: you're going to destroy me at basketball.

1229
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like this is a one on one

1230
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: would be more of a you know, we're kind of

1231
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: almost shooting around together, like we're not really trying to Yeah,

1232
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 1: you know, it's and so I think there's lots of talk.

1233
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: There's lots of chattery. It's like I'm just this bomb here.

1234
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh man, somebody's got to go run and get this

1235
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: thing that went down the hill or whatever, like like

1236
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: there's more I don't know why I'm playing on a hill,

1237
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: but it's more of uh, yeah, it's we're getting together.

1238
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's something to do with your hands, yeah,

1239
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 4: you know, and you know, and you're not walking, you're

1240
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 4: not going for a walk, and you're not having a drink.

1241
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 4: You're you're actually doing an activity. It's like playing putt

1242
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 4: putt or whatever.

1243
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is sort of like playing putt, but I

1244
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 3: think it's a little more high risk than putt put

1245
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 3: no doubt, yeah, from an injury perspective, and also like

1246
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 3: you could make a fool of yourself, like if you ask, yeah,

1247
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 3: hey let's go play one on one together.

1248
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 2: It's the first date. You just brick it all night. Yeah,

1249
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 2: it's more of a person's like, why did you ask

1250
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: me to do this?

1251
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's weird, high high potential for looking like a fool.

1252
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. I think more of a horse

1253
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: game is what we probably want to do, you know,

1254
01:00:56,200 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: like more of a your skills without yeah those white

1255
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: pig or whatever, and then you could, you know, just

1256
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: see what the other person can do rather than getting

1257
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: extremely sweaty potentially getting injured. Sounds like fun though, but

1258
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: I agree with it was a disc cup, like you

1259
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: don't want this to be the end all and the

1260
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: be all of your first date. Like I said, there's

1261
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: gotta be some some other another activity. Yeah, shower up

1262
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go get some wings together. What's what's

1263
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:36,439
Speaker 1: a normal date for you nowadays? Great question. It's it's dinner, man,

1283
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Whoa boy?

1284
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: Don't I have a sponsor?

1285
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Do we? No?

1286
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 2: I didn't think so we got a who boy though

1287
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 2: his name is Jamal Murray.

1288
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 3: He scored fifty three basketball points with nine made three pointers,

1289
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 3: six rebounds, four assists in a big time win for

1290
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets.

1291
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 2: Quality bow boy broking. You think this is good?

1292
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, nineteen of twenty eight from the field, nine threes, great,

1293
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: four turnovers. Nobody cares. That's fine. You did what you

1294
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: needed to do. Second fifty point game of the season.

1295
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

1296
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 3: If Jokich would have finished with twenty assists to go

1297
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 3: with this twenty three points and twenty one rebounds, would

1298
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 3: that be an for you to say this man is

1299
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 3: the woe boy a twenty twenty twenty percentages weren't great.

1300
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 3: He was eight of nineteen from the field.

1301
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it all depends. I think the leagues

1302
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: I have made threes in them and the percentages. As

1303
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: you said, so I think could go with Jamal with

1304
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: nine threes nineteen of twenty eight, although yeah, the six

1305
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: bores and four assists doesn't compare to twenty twenty.

1306
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifty three is a nice number though. You see that,

1307
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 3: You say, whoa boy, that's a lot of points.

1308
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: It's thirty fewer than bam bam. It's thirty fewer and

1309
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: bam bam still pretty good.

1310
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 2: Oh, the pick and payoff, I hate it. I hate

1311
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 2: the pick and pay I think I missed five in

1312
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: a row.

1313
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, I had a good lead it over Skeatzy

1314
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 3: and it is completely evaporated. I was the only one

1315
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 3: on the Thunder last night. I believe you gotta double,

1316
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 3: You skeets, gotta double. We've got a competition going here.

1317
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 3: Eight ten, skeets, seven and eleven. You're you're just picking

1318
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 3: games for the.

1319
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Love of it.

1320
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I am, Yeah, I'm good four nights remaining. Those you

1321
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have a battle tight yeah till the

1322
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: end of March. And I thought tonight's game was kind

1323
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: of tough. The Knicks at Charlotte. It's tough to pick. Yeah, yeah,

1324
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: so you you're on the Horns, while Skeets and I

1325
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: are on the Knicks. So it's a big game here.

1326
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: It's basically a pick them. The Knicks have to win

1327
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: by two or more because the runs one and a

1328
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 1: half that they're favored by in Charlotte. But why are

1329
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 1: you riding with Charlotte.

1330
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 3: I'm riding with Charlotte mostly because they're the home team,

1331
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 3: and I've picked a lot of road teams lately, and

1332
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 3: like I said, it's not going well, so I think

1333
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 3: they can win, you know, like like you're saying, Fandel

1334
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 3: is telling us this is basically a toss up anyways,

1335
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 3: with just a one and a half point line, So

1336
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 3: the home factor is what pushed it over the top

1337
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 3: for me. But I've been wrong for an entire week straight,

1338
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 3: so we'll see.

1339
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: Okay, the Knicks, yeah, having one to seven straight and quietly,

1340
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: uh huh, I want to keep it going.

1341
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's another factor. I've picked teams on.

1342
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 3: Streaks a lot lately, uh huh, and I've been within

1343
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 3: like I picked okay, see last night, you know I

1344
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 3: should have looked at I forgot that the Celtics were

1345
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 3: well well rested.

1346
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Mmm, you think that was a factor.

1347
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 2: It certainly was a factor Sunday game to Wednesday. They're

1348
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 2: rusty coming out.

1349
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 3: Of the gates, first rest, you know, a little rhythm,

1350
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 3: you know what.

1351
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: The NBA is doing pretty well right now, not having

1352
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: a lot of back to back scheduled for teams like

1353
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. They're finally done with them. Yeah, there seems

1354
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: to be a lot that are. They're cruising into the

1355
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: playoffs well rested. Yes, so that's that's a nice thing.

1356
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 3: The thing I like right now is if there's a

1357
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 3: bad team involved in the game, you know, the game

1358
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 3: is going to be brutal, but you might get a

1359
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 3: very cool performance, whether it be eighty three points or

1360
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 3: a guy going for fifty while his teammate is basically

1361
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty twenty, you know.

1362
01:05:58,840 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: So that's exciting.

1363
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 3: But also if the two teams that are playing against

1364
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 3: each other actually care and have something to play for,

1365
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 3: the basketball.

1366
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,479
