1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: You get so many birds in the twelies of Christmas

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: that when it comes time to like things like the

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Golden rings, it would be such a relief.

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: Right.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 3: Wrong, They're all birds.

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: These are the golden rings. It's a type of pheasant.

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna get five of these. Unlike every day it

8
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: said the lord's are leaping, they're birds. The pipers piping

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: are not musicians, they are birds. The ladies aren't actually

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: dancing because they are birds.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 4: And you guessed it.

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: The drummers drumming are in fact birds, and Baby's giving

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: you those birds every single day. In total, you will

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: get one hundred and eighty four birds, and of course

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: twelve par trees, which is technically considered a mini orchard.

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Your man is a nightmare.

00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:10,480

Speaker 3: show notes. Take advantage of that, all right, we're talking

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 3: about the inn Season Tournament. Everybody's loving this thing. What

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: we had some fun games last night. Let's go through them.

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 3: Then we'll look at the trophies later in the show.

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: I got some questions, sort of big picture questions about

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: the is T. But let's start with Tyre's Halliburton tasks

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: his first career triple double. What helps the Pacers beat

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: the Celtics. Boston's out of here? Indiana moves over and

53
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: moves on. Excuse me to Vegas? What do you think?

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to expect. You know, this is

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: our first elimination game of this tournament. Obviously, the NBA

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: has done a really good job at me this in

57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: season tournament a thing, a tent pole event. People are

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: getting us excited to watch basketball in November, and we

59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: have been because players have been up for these games.

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: But then to go to Indiana here, I just didn't

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: know what to expect. You had the crowd buzzing. Though

62
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: the crowd had their towels on each of their chairs

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: in that stadium, ready to go. They were booing the

64
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: Celtics from the pregame to Jason Tatum being at the

65
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: free throw line. So it was exciting. And then and

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: then and then, and then at halftime, Tyrese Halbernon, who

67
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: was suffering from a respiratory infection, he was out. He

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: was out Saturday's game, had to take an inhaler. And

69
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: then in the third card pumped it up just just

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: a feel better. And then in the third quarter getting

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: him to that triple double because he took over twelve points,

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: five assists in just that quarter. And then he played

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: the entire fourth quarter. And it's not like he had

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: to take over with the points, but he was just

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: the guy with six assists and seven points there in

76
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: that first fourth quarter that he played every single minute.

77
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: He didn't have a stinking turnover in this game, which

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: is remarkable. And he just kind of sealed it at

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: the end with minute forty five left, that three in

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: Jaylen Brown's face, who fouled him the four point play.

81
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: Then he set up Buddy healed for another three. So

82
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: this this being a national TV game, this guy beat

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: wanting to be a star, wanting to have all the

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: highlights and all the cameras on him. He showed up

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: at the game bridge Field. It was pretty cool start

86
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: for the elimination run.

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: It was I mean it felt like a coming out

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: party for the Pacers and really Tyrese Haliburton on the

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: national stage and he said, like the crowd was buzzing.

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: Obviously an entertaining game down the stretch. He made the

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: big plays, took over the second half, and yeah, the

92
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 3: vibes were immaculate here in the d It was pretty cool.

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: I just hate that it's tainted by peds. We're gonna

94
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: look back on this and look sideways a Tyrese Haliburton

95
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: being able to breathe better in the second half. This

96
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: reminds me of Steph Curry in the NCAA tournament. For Davidson,

97
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 4: he was like takeover mode in the second half of

98
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 4: game's hitting incredible threes, awesome highlights, Like Halliburton was cooking

99
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: so much in that third corner. He had that drive

100
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 4: where he faked Drew Holliday out of his shoes, Drew

101
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 4: does a three to sixty step back three, had another

102
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 4: one where he roast Derek White for the switch hand

103
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: layup at the rim. Scored er, assisted on nineteen straight

104
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: for Indiana coming out at halftime, hopped up on that

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: Asthma and Haler.

106
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: The Pacers were doing a great job of setting screens

108
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: for him, really really far out on the court, almost

109
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: at halftime. The pace that Indiana plays with coupled with

110
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: the screens being set that high, just gives an incredible

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: downhill attacking lanes. But yeah, no turnovers for Tyrese Haliburton,

112
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: but he almost had one, and it almost cost the

113
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: Pacers the game because he threw that pass to the

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 4: corner Drew Holliday to flex it fifty six seconds left.

115
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: That's a steal, yeah, but it bounces right out of

116
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: bounds on the very next inbounds play, the three for

117
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 4: Buddy Healed, which was almost the dagger, though maybe you

118
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 4: want to consider the Aaron Nieman dunk the dagger as well.

119
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: It was just big play aff after big play after

120
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: big play for Indiana. That was awesome to watch, and it.

121
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: Sort of did feel like a college game with the

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: bench reactions on all those shots. Either Helliburton's four point play,

123
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: the huge Buddy Healed three where he got loose off

124
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: the inbounds play sort of from the from the corner,

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 3: or that Nie Smith junk Nie Smith drunk dunk, I'm drunk,

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: but well, you see the reaction from the Pacers bench,

127
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: like those guys were like going crazy as if it

128
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: was like, you know, the Final four in Indianapolis or

129
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: something like that. It was awesome.

130
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: They wanted to win this game, that's for sure. Hopefully

131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 2: Vegas can get the semi final crowd as a buzzin'

132
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: that's the question, the big question.

133
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

134
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: They set it up pretty well here for the quarter

135
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: finals to be just frankly, these are regular season games,

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: that's all they are.

137
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but sixth seed right now for the Pacers, big win.

138
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: It is a big win. You got to be a

139
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: you gotta be a two seater or one seat because

140
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: you want the home court could be in the three

141
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: seed like the Boston Celtics. Didn't help. Maybe it helped

142
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: that the Celtics beat them by fifty points earlier this

143
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: season and had them on the radar, but really it

144
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: was just Tyree wanted to play for his crowd that

145
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: had those yellow towels, just just a buzz and it

146
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: was a game that we wanted to watch watch on

147
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: playback and yeah, thankfully they came out inspired. Because I

148
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: wonder how Vegas is going to be at five pm

149
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: local No nom local times two PM.

150
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: I thought this too tasked with like, I was like, oh,

151
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: I was starting to think like sort of wish these

152
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: semifinals maybe were in the home team's arena, just for

153
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: like the electricity factor. We'll see what it's like at

154
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: two pm on a Thursday in Vegas for Pacers versus

155
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: Bucks or Knicks.

156
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

157
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 5: I can't imagine. It's gonna be crazy. We'll see that

158
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: a surprise, not a sellout last night, That's what they

159
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 5: said of tickets were sold for their attendants. They're like

160
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 5: at the bottom of the league four percentage of attendance.

161
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: They also have a small arena, but it sounds loud yep, yeah, sure, And.

162
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: The Eastern Conference teams are trying to sell tickets. It

163
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: was the Bucks that are selling Lower Bowl tickets for

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: what is it, thirty four dollars or forty dollars? I

165
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: have it written down. It's cheap.

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: So they were tonight's game.

167
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, tonight's game. They're trying to get inspired. It didn't

168
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: feel like ninety, felt.

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: Like one hundred. They made up for it if there

170
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: were a few empty seats. This was the third time

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: Halliburton has recorded a twenty five point tennis is game

172
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: with zero turnovers this season. According to statitudes. Since the

173
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: NBA began tracking individual turnovers back in seventy seven to

174
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 3: seventy eight, no player has recorded more such games in

175
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: a single season. He's got three already. We're like twenty

176
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: games in. That's that's really impressive. Like you can gloss

177
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: over that and you're like, okay, twenty five ten, Okay,

178
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: a lot of people put up big stamps. But the

179
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: zero turnovers for a guy that has the ball in

180
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: his hands all the time, you're right, got away with one, lady,

181
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: Because that was I mean, they were still down for

182
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: the Celtics, but there was like a minute or so

183
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: to I mean, you know, just under a minute to go.

184
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: If Drew had that ball and bounds and maybe the

185
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: Celtics go up to court, then it's a different outcome possibly,

186
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: but no, in the end, that buddy heeled three. Yeah,

187
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: that that to me was how like he'll sort of

188
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: iced it and you just let it rip. Pacers were

189
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: out rebounded fifty six to forty one in this game

190
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: and they still win. How took care of the rock

191
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: only six turnovers to the Boston seventeen, and then they

192
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: shot the lights out. They hit nearly fifty percent from

193
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: three on forty attempts, nineteen for forty. This is a

194
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: you know, I guess what you love or maybe if

195
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: you're a Celtics fan or other or some other people

196
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: hate about a one game knockout situation. Right, It's like,

197
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: you're hot from three, take care of the ball. Your

198
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: chances of winning are pretty good. If they were to

199
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: play a seven game series, I think most people still

200
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: think probably the Celtics come out on top eventually. But

201
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: that's what's fun about the one game, even if it's

202
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: this little weird tournament for trying out here.

203
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 4: This is the concern though for Boston is that they

204
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: got into a shootout with the Pacers when the Celtics

205
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 4: should be able to score inside. They should be more

206
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: concerned with getting to the rim and getting driving kicks.

207
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: They were really settling for threes, I thought, especially in

208
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: the third quarter. They also had six turnovers in that

209
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: third quarter, like you mentioned, only six in the game

210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: for the Pacers. They just tend to default to a

211
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 4: three pointer a lot of the times, and I feel

212
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 4: like Tatum was getting away from the driving game. We

213
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: saw some good stuff from Jalen Brown early on, but

214
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: the drives kind of just petered out for the Celtics

215
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: and they were content to bomb away from outside. They

216
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: didn't have a go and they finished twelve for forty one.

217
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: So they just completely got out shot in this game.

218
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: They should be able to have a big enough advantage

219
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: over a team like the Pacers that they don't have

220
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 4: to get into a shooting match. But that's the thing

221
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: with the Celtics. They are so tilted towards offense, especially

222
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: when Porzingis is missing. They need him to be on

223
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: the court to be at their absolute best, and you know,

224
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: foul trouble, picking up an injury here and there, that's

225
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: going to be a question mark for Boston.

226
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you brought up while we were watching it

227
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: just to help their defense.

228
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: As well, just to they can't get stops if he's

229
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: not playing.

230
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they Pacers were comfortable going to the rim and

231
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: shout out to Aaron Nesmith, who was their best player

232
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: off the bench and what he's done to his game.

233
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: He was a rotation player for the Celtics and then

234
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: he kind of disappeared for the Celtics and then in

235
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: this offseason he became a guy who could put it

236
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: on the floor and get to the rim. He really developed,

237
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: apparently was with Lloyd Pierce, him and his assistant coach.

238
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: They worked together at dribbling and getting to the rim,

239
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: and he became a new player. And so his four

240
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: threes off the bench good six for ten overall. I oh, sorry,

241
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Benedict Matherin's four threes. But they took

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 2: Aaron Nesmith out of the three point shot and he

243
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: hit six for ten from the floor. That was big.

244
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: So so many guys just chucking from the three point line.

245
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: We were all surprised. Miles Turner didn't start well, but

246
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: he hit a couple. Buddy hit four, Alvern hit five,

247
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: and Matherin hit four. They're just jack it. Yeah.

248
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: And the thing I like about Nie Smith too, I

249
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: know the Pacers are not known for defensive stops really,

250
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: you know, like it's gonna be a high scoring game.

251
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: But he gets at it. He gets up on guys,

252
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: and I like him and Bruce Brown as that duo.

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: They're a little Mannik out there at least sort of

254
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 3: bring up the defensive Intendcity and TJ McConnell too, I know,

255
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 3: you look at his box scores. It's definitely not gonna

256
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: wow you. But we watched the game and he was

257
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: making plays. He gets that crowd all hyped. I thought

258
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: he was a bit of a difference maker too. Any

259
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: other random notes on Celtics Pacers our first game of

260
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 3: the knockout round.

261
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, we saw Luke Cornett catch too ali ups in

262
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 4: the first half of this game, and the stream team

263
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 4: over on playback nicknamed them corn on the lob, which

264
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: is really really good. And then yeah, Nie Smith was

265
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: hyped for this game. He took a charge at one point,

266
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: got up and flexed for getting knocked over and Derek

267
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 4: White with the too small and then he had basically

268
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 4: the dagger dunk to end things as well. So that's

269
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: how you do a revenge game.

270
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, against his old team for sure. Did anybody end

271
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: up cutting together all the Luke Cornett highlights too and

272
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: putting it to corns freak on a leash?

273
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: Do we know if that happened yet? I haven't seen it.

274
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: We were talking about that on playback. Tyres Haliburton's dad

275
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: was getting a lot of airtime, rightfully, so I had

276
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: the cool like the merch that he was rocking there

277
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 3: that that blue.

278
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. I didn't know if

279
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: Arenas would be supporting this in the wrong way with

280
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: just cheap T shirts, because that's what it seemed like

281
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: in the Kings game. But I think it's John Haliburton.

282
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: His pops look great, he looked cool and obviously, yeah,

283
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: that entire arena, Yeah, it was was was going and

284
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: to see all those people do it, and then it

285
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: was cool. At the end. Tatum looked like he was

286
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: going to take over there at that two minutes left,

287
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: hit that jumper that a superstar hits, and then Halburton

288
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: responds with a couple of things there. So it was

289
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: it was just an entirely supported game by that crowd.

290
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: It was really fun.

291
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: One comment I saw going around taking a shot at

292
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: the Celtics have to give Silver credit. The ist definitely

293
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: had a playoff atmosphere complete with the Celtics collapse. Oh man,

294
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: that's low, that's low, man. But it did have that.

295
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: It's sort of true.

296
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: This is what the Celtics look like when they lose. Yeah. Yeah,

297
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 4: it makes a lot of threes. Yeah, that's true.

298
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: They sort of started trying to play the Pacers game

299
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: and they got the best of them there last night.

300
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: Anything else from this one now, I just I wonder

301
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: how healthy Persingas is because they're keeping him out just

302
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: because his calf is injured so week to week. It's

303
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: the old thing we've talked about with Christaps Porzingis, and

304
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: he missed playing for Latvia this summer. Just hopefully he

305
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: can get back healthy. He did look cool with his

306
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: jean jacket dark blue, very dark blue.

307
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, not worn a lot yett Yeah yeah, wash it

308
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: or at least wear it.

309
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: One thing I do love about the in season tournament.

310
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: As soon as your team loses, you get to turn

311
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: around and go, well, good, we don't want to be

312
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: playing another game in the regular season, so aie. If

313
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: you're a team like the Celtics who have championship aspirations,

314
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: I saw a little.

315
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: Bit of that going around.

316
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: Oh good good. You know guys won't get injured in Vegas.

317
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: You know they don't have to play an eighty third game. Hypothetically,

318
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: if they made the finals five nights off, six nights

319
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: or something like that, we threw it it.

320
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, we didn't care. Anyways, I hate Vegas. It is

321
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: you can't blame them for the colder than you would

322
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: think right now.

323
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: It is a regular season game. I think it's easy

324
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: to forget. It seems like it really is totally easy

325
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: to forget that because they could screw up and just

326
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: put them in this separate tournament that would increase their

327
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: regular season games. That wouldn't be good. But I heard

328
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: stand Van on the second game say that fifty thousand

329
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: dollars for each Indiana Pacer. He said fifty thousand dollars

330
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: for the Pacers just because they won and went to

331
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: the semi finals.

332
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: I guess it goes. It's like the money you get increases.

333
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, with each game, with each go from the quarter

334
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: finals to the semifiles. Stand Van was excited. I guess

335
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: some of the Pacers were excited. I guess John Haliburton

336
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: was excited.

337
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: Fifty k John Haliburton was pumped.

338
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: I mean, it is sort of cool that Halliburton has

339
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: become the spokesman for the in season tournament, and it's

340
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: like sort of the perfect type of player, Like he's

341
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: super charismatic. He obviously hasn't had playoff success, so you'd

342
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: love to see that. He's in the small market and

343
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: he has turned into like a bona fide MVP candidate

344
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: right now, like you know whatever, wherever you have them

345
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: top seven, top five, top three. I mean, it's sort

346
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: of a perfect storm here. I know silver in the NBA,

347
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: they would like the Lakers there. They would maybe like

348
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: a Knicks fan base there. I'm talking about Vegas.

349
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: But I like this.

350
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: I like having at least well maybe too if you

351
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: want to count the Pelicans. How man, a couple Cinderella's

352
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 3: there is good for this too, I think, especially the

353
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: way the guy talks about this like it is a

354
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: big deal for the inaugural run.

355
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: Agree. I absolutely agree. He's very telegenic, charismatic. He gave

356
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: that hilarious interview where he's like, I don't want to

357
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: be a loser anymore. Yeah, they care, man, they completely

358
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: care in this game. I see according to Hoopside that

359
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 4: for team salaries, Indiana is at the very bottom in payroll.

360
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 4: So no surprise that they are giving it. They're all

361
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: in this tournament there actually matters a ton every single

362
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 4: win to the guys at the end of their bench,

363
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: who we're going nuts in that last minute.

364
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the NBA must love Halburt. He also wants

365
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: to care about the All Star Game. He said last

366
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: year's All Star Game sucked. He literally said that an

367
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: All Star of the NBA. Being that was his first

368
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: appearance saying on that podcast showing up, he wants every

369
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 2: one of these ten pole events. It's funny calling these

370
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 2: tent pole events.

371
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 3: It takes me back to the starters.

372
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that that's what they're calling on the calendar.

373
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 4: Nor I'll be traveling.

374
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: Got another tent pole coming up. All right, let's move

375
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: to the second game last night. Brandon Ingram leading the

376
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: Pelicans past the Kings one twenty seven, one seventeen, so

377
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: they advanced to Vegas. They go to the semifinals and

378
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: Sacramento gets bounce at their third straight loss. Trey Kirby

379
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 3: to the Pelicans seem to have their number, But what

380
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: were your takeaways from this one?

381
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: Too? Small Kings were looking a little small against the

382
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 4: gigantic Pelicans team. Like Brandon Ingram, he's a skinny dude,

383
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: but he's still seven feet tall for the most part.

384
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: Tamnto Simonis looks big against most other big guys, but

385
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: he is dwarfed by Jonas val Watching those dudes each

386
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 4: other was hilarious, going back way back of their Lithuanian teams.

387
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 4: I'm sure they have elbowed each other in the chest

388
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 4: a lot of times, and it was happening a ton

389
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 4: last night. But this game not quite as intriguing as

390
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: our first game, because I thought this game was really

391
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: one in the first half. In the last three minutes

392
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 4: of the first quarter, first two minutes of the second quarter,

393
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 4: New Orleans was a plus fifteen. Basically, when Trey Murphy,

394
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 4: Jose Alvarado, and Naji Marshall checked in, they really amped

395
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 4: up the intensity for the Pelicans. They were running, they

396
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: were forcing turnovers. The Kings were a little lackadaisical with

397
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 4: the ball in the first half ten turnovers. Fox had

398
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: four in the first quarter. They were just a little

399
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: bit out of sorts, and so they were playing behind

400
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 4: for the entirety of the second half. It seemed like

401
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: to me the Kings they got some really good shots.

402
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: Herder had a lot of really open looks, they couldn't

403
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: convert enough of them, and Ingram just made enough plays,

404
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: and the Pelicans got enough contributions from basically everybody outside

405
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 4: of Zion, though he was a decent passer. I thought

406
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: last night, the Pelicans are getting a lot healthier right now.

407
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: This is the most healthy they've been the entire season,

408
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: and you can see why they're confident in their team

409
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 4: because they got a great performance up and down the

410
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: entire roster. Six players in double digits, and that's including

411
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 4: Zion only having ten yeah and missing Larry Nance Junior.

412
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: But I agree they look a lot deeper when you

413
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: have all these guys back. It was something we talked about,

414
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: I guess on Monday Show when we gave them a

415
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 3: winner of the weekend. With Trey Murphy returning over the weekend,

416
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: he had another decent game, obviously hitting threes. But what

417
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: do you think of the Pels?

418
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: Definitely, their death was the biggest factor. Rob Polenka said

419
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: the Lakers may be the deeper team preseason, and stan

420
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: Van last night said, I think the Pelicans are the

421
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: deepest team when they are healthy. They were the leader

422
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: of the Western Conference standings last year December, and then

423
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: they kind of fell apart with injuries with Zion, and

424
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: I think that's why he's taken on a lesser of

425
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 2: a role, just to get everybody involved, and they've all

426
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: come back healthy. As you said, the first quarter was big.

427
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 2: I thought the Kings you know me being done. I thought,

428
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: oh right, they are joining the Las Vegas semi finals.

429
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: They look good. They were up fourteen to start this game.

430
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: They hit twelve of their first fourteen shots.

431
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: They're hot. Yeah, And then the Pelicans bench came in

432
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: and changed sticks. We talked about t J McConnell. Jose

433
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: Alvarado was the t J McConnell in this game. He

434
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: had the broadcaster using his grand Theft Alvarado nickname, shocking

435
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: Trey Murphy three baskets in that first quarter off the

436
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: bench that Herb Jones tip in. I love that. That

437
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: was Pelicans coach Willie Green calling him in with a

438
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: second and a half left in the first quarter to

439
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: line up for a free throw. It wasn't his free

440
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: throw he's lining up. He just comes in basically to

441
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: try and tip in a miss free throw. They didn't

442
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 2: miss it on purpose, Trey Murphy didn't miss it on purpose,

443
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: but Herb Jones just tipped it in and they were inspired.

444
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: So other guys you know, deep on the Ross, like

445
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: Jordan Hark, Hawkins, Dyson Daniels, they don't play because you

446
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: have so many deep players that just know how to

447
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: play the game and they came through like everywhere. CJ. McCollum,

448
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: who's also come back, seven sists, Ingram, look at the board,

449
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: six assists, Zion six assists, Herbert Jones six assists. Excuse me,

450
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: so like between those twenty four assists, just four guys

451
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: really helping out.

452
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 3: There's a couple of gorgeous possessions to the balls. Just

453
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: not sticking at all. It was just pinging around. I

454
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: thought Ingram played such a great game, like just making

455
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: the right play most of the time, took over when

456
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: he needed to there in the second half, scored seventeen

457
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: of his thirty after halftime, but he had the eight

458
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 3: boards and six assists. Again, just not like forcing anything.

459
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: I think when I see these Ingram games, I'm always like, ah, God,

460
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: this guy is the most underrated guy in the league

461
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: because of where he is, maybe playing alongside Zion, it's

462
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 3: a market in a team that a lot of people

463
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: don't watch.

464
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 4: You know.

465
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: I know he has stinkers though, too, But when you

466
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: see Ingram at his best, you're like, this guy is

467
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: he's something special because he has that Durant, that Tatum

468
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: like quality where he can sort of get whatever shot

469
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: he wants, just played perfectly and they played a great game.

470
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: They shot fifty four percent from the field, forty five

471
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: from deep, and they got contributions from basically all their starters,

472
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: and then all these bench guys coming in. Really good game,

473
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 3: really good game, and you know, I think they're gonna

474
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: be a tough challenge to whoever they play, be it

475
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 3: be it the Suns or the Lakers. I think this

476
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: will be a fun game actually there and that that

477
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: that game that starts at a more normal time in Vegas,

478
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: nine o'clock local, right, well, six o'clock local, Oh yeah, yeah,

479
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: but a little more normal, get a little dinner in

480
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: you and then watching the basketball anything else though, TK

481
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: or thoughts on Ingram like I was talking about that, Yeah.

482
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 4: Ingram to me, he's a bit of a taller de Rozan.

483
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

484
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 4: That's where he just falls in his career. When he

485
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: looks awesome, he looks great, but he takes so many

486
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: two's that sometimes he can be an inefficient player. Sometimes

487
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 4: he's a great playmaker. I thought he was last night,

488
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 4: But like you said, he basically played a perfect game.

489
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 4: And I'm I would be a little confident if I'm

490
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 4: the Pelicans going forward because they've got better size and

491
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 4: they've got better depth than both the Lakers and the Suns.

492
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 4: Those teams are more experienced certainly, and I guess you know,

493
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 4: all three of the teams would be as healthy as

494
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 4: they possibly can be outside of Bradley Beal going forward.

495
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 4: So should be an interesting one, nah after tonight.

496
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is pretty amazing though that they took care

497
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: of the Kanks three times in three weeks essentially two

498
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: but they are bigger. You know, Zion is being guarded

499
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: by Harrison Barnes, so they just kind of doubled each

500
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 2: and every time. Valentcu is a lot larger and taller

501
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 2: than then Demats in the in the middle, so they

502
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: come in and do their thing, especially with their depth.

503
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: Now the fact that these guys are all healthy and

504
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: some shooters. Yeah right said they hit fourteen threes. I

505
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: think that's the second most triples they hit all season. Yeah,

506
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: that was their achilles, right.

507
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they needed a train Murphy to come back, and

508
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 2: McCollum is starting to look more healthy. They just got

509
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: to keep it up because last year, as I said,

510
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: they were first in the Western Conference and then things

511
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: fell apart and people were saying this team could be

512
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: the one when they are healthy. Obviously they're going to

513
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: give everybody a challenge TBD. But it's great to see

514
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: a small market team because we know that the Lakers

515
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: are going to be a favorite going in, and whether

516
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: it's the Boxman makes a huge fan base going in.

517
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 2: It's cool to see New Orleans in there.

518
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Kings got this to within I guess six

519
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: right midway through the fourth quarter, so it wasn't like

520
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: a blowout victory here, even though the Pelicans sort of

521
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: kept them kept him at bay. But I think New

522
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 3: Orleans ripped off like ninth straight when it got that close.

523
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: JV hit that jump hook shot over Barns. That was

524
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 3: a nice pass from Ingram finding the big guy down there.

525
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: Great positioning, had the size too easy. Then Trey Murphy

526
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: hit a three with the shot clock winding down, and

527
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 3: then Ingram and Jones got to the line. I mean

528
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: Herb Jones. Also, we didn't really talk about him much.

529
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: He had a great game for them too, I think

530
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: season high terms of points. What do you think of

531
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 3: the Trey Lyles Younges Valentunaz dust up there. I guess

532
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: Trey got the I got the tech that was it.

533
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: They lent and looked at it, and there was a

534
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: big talk of like, did he throw a punch?

535
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: Was it? I thought it?

536
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 3: He didn't connect and JV didn't care at all.

537
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. That's probably why they're like, vlla Jude, that's

538
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do it against this guy? He's

539
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 4: part of the Dangerous Night's crew. Take him down? But uh,

540
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 4: you know, they let Trey Lyles get away with a

541
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 4: little bit of a punch. I forget who almost wrapped

542
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 4: up Jason Tatum around the shoulders. They let that one

543
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 4: go to a little extra physicality on a ist knockout

544
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: night one.

545
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, some guys you don't talk about as much. I

546
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: feel like Drew Holliday could have had a way better

547
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: game in that first game and things would have been

548
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: a lot different. And even Zion in this game, he

549
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: only shot eight times, He only played twenty seven minutes.

550
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: Willie Green is doing a good job of keeping the

551
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: minutes down when he needs to, not playing in the

552
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: back to back so he stays healthy in these games.

553
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 2: But I thought that was gonna be a fight. I

554
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: thought that was literally gonna be a throw down. We'll

555
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: see in Vegas for the undercart or whatever. But it

556
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: was all right. I thought, Yeah, there wasn't even though

557
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 2: there was a lot of fouls free throws in this game,

558
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: I should say, oh, the first.

559
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 3: Half was there was no flow to this game. I

560
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: mean just say it started started okay, yeah, because Kings

561
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: couldn't miss and that it was just yeah, foul, foul, foul, turnover, turnover, turnover.

562
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: It was not a not a pretty first half. They

563
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 3: cleaned it up a little bit there in the second,

564
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: but yeah, did you see it halftime? Just to speak

565
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 3: a little bit more on Zion, did you see what

566
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: like Chuck and Chuck and Kenny were talking about. They

567
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: were literally like just talking about watch Zion Williams and

568
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: he never runs. They had like a running counter for

569
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 3: Zion Williams, and they were like shooting on him like

570
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: you know, like not in shape or like whatever. The

571
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: effort's not there. It was just like it was a

572
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: little strange in the context of this game when the

573
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: team's like looking okay, and.

574
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I don't know.

575
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: I thought it was a little much, but I guess

576
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: keep your eye on it.

577
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, he didn't have a great game. He looked more

578
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 4: ridiculous on defense, to be quite honest, there was like

579
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: one play where like he steps out to guard Fox

580
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: and then Fox like shifts his shoulder on one little

581
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: tiny inch forward, and Zion's just like, all right, see

582
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 4: you go ahead to the rim if you'd like you.

583
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 4: He was not given much on the defensive end, that's

584
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: for sure.

585
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: My other final note is a big fan of the

586
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: King's crowd with the Keegan Murray chant when he hits

587
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 3: a three or does something big and they do the

588
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: key again and then the crowd sort of in in

589
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: return says movie just sounds awesome, and they were committing

590
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 3: to it well there in the n season tournament.

591
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: Any other notes, Yeah, they look good. Malik Monk obviously

592
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: contributing off the bench as well. Five threes for him,

593
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: four threes for Keig. I was just questioning the NBA

594
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: in season tournament t shirts.

595
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're pretty basic. I'm okay.

596
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm okay with the players wearing them pregame, warming up

597
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: with them, but the fans need more.

598
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 4: They deserve more quick turnaround. I guess.

599
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: I mean, when did they find out they were gonna

600
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 3: be hosting a game. I'm just like last Tuesday, right, Yeah,

601
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, yeah, they didn't know they had Yeah,

602
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: they had to beat the Warriors, then they had to

603
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: know whether they were gonna have home court.

604
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to They just look real simple. They're

605
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: very very simple, beyond simple.

606
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 4: And what would you look like?

607
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: You got any ideas?

608
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: Honestly, just the player's font size looked better.

609
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean those are generic too, though super engineer,

610
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 4: but just a text looking at their.

611
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: They have higher aspirations, so it's fine for them the

612
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, that's what they're aiming for this one. Can

613
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: it can be basic for the players? I don't know.

614
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 2: That was just the plainest, plainest thing. The towels were

615
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: better in the first game.

616
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 3: Give me a towel, a towel. I don't know why

617
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 3: a T shirt can be a towel when used correctly.

618
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 3: Great point, because I never never put towels. Well, yeah,

619
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: good point. I never put on those shirts generally because

620
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 3: they're like triple XL so it's more of a around

621
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: the neck. So I'm still with the team.

622
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: And then you know, given that that's a lot of garbage. Though,

623
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 4: it's a lot of garbage those shirts. Who's gonna wear

624
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 4: a Blue Kings nd season tournament shirt after they lost.

625
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 4: It's it's just garbage towels. Yeah, throw it in the car, exactly,

626
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: that's armor all your windshield exactly right. It's a rag.

627
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: It's almost a rag. Okay, let's take a break and

628
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 3: when we come back, we're gonna look ahead to tonight's

629
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: two other quarterfinal games between the Knicks and the Bucks,

630
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: Suns and Lakers. We'll look at these new in season

631
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: tournament trophies and medals. A lot to dissect there, and

632
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: a couple of big picture questions about the iced teat

633
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: don't go anywhere, all right, hit the like button. Make

636
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: A couple of great comments here from the stream team.

637
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: Patty Mills was the towel MVP. He was really good

638
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: at waving towels. Good point shout out to p D

639
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: Pablo right, just run your handspin like a helicopter and

640
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: still with the with a fascinating comment Milwaukee tonight obviously

641
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 3: hosting an in season tournament game. Uh, Milwaukee needs to

642
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: hand out cream city rags.

643
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: Interesting offside, but I like it. I'm a little outside

644
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 4: they come rags to the verse.

645
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: Five thousand people in attendance. Okay, so let's look ahead

646
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: to that game and Suns Lakers tas when you get started,

647
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna lump these together, So pick both. Pick one.

648
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: One thing you're.

649
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: Watching for in tonight's again, either Nickbocks or Suns Lakers.

650
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: Well, the problem with the Lakers, depending on who they face,

651
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: is size. That is the thing. But against the Suns,

652
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: it shouldn't necessarily be a problem. So I'm gonna be

653
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: watching that. I'm gonna be watching Lebron want to go

654
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: to Vegas. I think Lebron is going to play his

655
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: best game tonight. I'm I'm lining it up. I just

656
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: think that he's he's had this on the on the schedule,

657
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: on the calendar, looking forward to playing. But this is

658
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: a good rivalry versus the Suns. It's just a great matchup.

659
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: They've already played a tight game in the Ist that

660
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers did win, so it has given them home

661
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: court advantage. So I'm just looking forward to everything that

662
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: happens there after the Bucks game, where I hope it's

663
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: sold out. I truly hope it sold out. I just

664
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: I just looked it up and apparently it's only thirty

665
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: four dollars to get into the Lower Bowl. Let's do it.

666
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: Let's rival.

667
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 4: Next one.

668
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're you think the Lakers with that matchup,

669
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 3: you still this would be like the Pelicans what they

670
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: did to the Kings. If the Lakers win this, that

671
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 3: would be their third victory over the Suns early this season.

672
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 3: Do Booker didn't play in the first two games, so

673
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: there is that to know. He's obviously one of their

674
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: best players. With the best players in the league, what

675
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 3: about utk with these ones?

676
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think with regards to Suns Lakers, that's got

677
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 4: to be an Anthony Davis game for LA. He's their

678
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: biggest advantage him against Nurkic basically so far in the

679
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 4: two wins, one great game for Anthony Davis in one

680
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: okay game in those w's, but the Lakers are only

681
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 4: three and six when Anthony Davis scores under twenty points,

682
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 4: So that's something I'm watching him. Most importantly, they need

683
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 4: to generate some free throws because Phoenix is second in

684
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 4: free throw rate. They'll probably get there, LA fourth and

685
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 4: free throw rate. We know that the Lakers are not

686
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 4: a great three point shooting team, So that's a place

687
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: where they can kind of make something back efficiency wise,

688
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 4: because Phoenix is a lot better at threes. Their fifth

689
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: and three point percentage LA is twenty eighth and they're

690
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: twenty sixth and three pointers allowed. So Phoenix doesn't take

691
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 4: a ton of threes, but when they do, they make

692
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 4: them because they got kd Grayson, Allen, Eric Gordon, and

693
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 4: Devin Booker basically shooting forty percent. So somebody from the

694
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: Lakers is really going to have to get hot to

695
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: keep him in this game. I love the ad call.

696
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: You know, how he plays probably will determine whether they

697
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: go to Vegas. He's on a good run right now,

698
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. For his last three games, he's averaging basically

699
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 3: twenty nine and fifteen three assists per game, a steal

700
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: round up to three blocks, almost never turns the ball over,

701
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 3: shooting fifty five percent. Like that's I mean, really really

702
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: good again over his last three games. That was against Detroit, though,

703
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 3: OKC and Houston, so you know, some some decent teams,

704
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: some bad teams there. But yeah, we'll see how he

705
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: does against against Nurkic and what about the other one.

706
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, and just that the Lakers have got a

707
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: lot of their defensive help back recently, just have been

708
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: a lot healthier. Jared Vanderbilt finally finally played his first game.

709
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: He can go on anybody, you're gonna see him against

710
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and try and guard him. He is a

711
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 2: long player. Cam Reddish is back. He has helped out

712
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: and reachmur is healthy enough to come back. He's still

713
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: missed the last game, but ready to go. So the

714
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: fact that their defense will help out against.

715
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: The Suns, Yeah, I guess four guys on the injury

716
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: report probable for tonight's game are Anthony Davis, Ruey, Lebron,

717
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: and Vanderbilt. But I imagine all four of those guys

718
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 3: we'll play in this. Let's get some predictions on this one.

719
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: Are you going Suns or.

720
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 3: Lakers to go to Vegas? By the way, I filled

721
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: out that bracket on NBA dot Com. My two teams

722
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: in the finals were the Sacramento Kings and deep Boston Celtics.

723
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: So bracket busted like it's March here. Hey, that's what

724
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 3: happens in you in a one game situation. But tonight,

725
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 3: who do you have winning that game?

726
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: I got the Suns. Okay, Yeah, I think their three

727
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 4: point shooting will take them over the top. It's hard

728
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 4: to beat the same team three times in a row.

729
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 4: And if Devin Booker's playing, Phoenix has a good shot.

730
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great to see book did come back in

731
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: their last game, dropping cool thirty four, No problem. But

732
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: I will take the Lakers in that they have a

733
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: lot of defenders to throw at Booker and to throw

734
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 2: at Durant. It's gonna be fun.

735
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: Though, And because you want to know who I'm taking,

736
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: so you can fade me, I'm also with Trey. I

737
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: think the Suns actually get it done here tonight. It's

738
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 3: a big and then just quickly Bucks Nick Bucks something

739
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 3: to watch, or at least who youre taking.

740
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 4: In this one?

741
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: You know what it feels like. I'm sitting in the

742
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: NBA offices thinking they're going to be asking people to

743
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: bet on those brackets. Well, sour are they probably already are?

744
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's they're loving this. This is exactly why why

745
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: do you think people care about March madness? So let's

746
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 3: get it's the betting.

747
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 2: Let's get people losing. Who is going to lose that

748
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: game tonight?

749
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

750
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: Who do you think is gonna win because you gotta

751
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: fade you.

752
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, fade me.

753
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 3: I think the Bucks are going to win. So but

754
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 3: you know, the Knicks are scrappy.

755
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: I think the defense looks fantastic. Tip's got him working.

756
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 2: They do look good. But yeah, I'm taking the Bucks

757
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: as well.

758
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 4: All right, I'm on the Knicks then, okay, yeah, I'm happy.

759
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 4: I don't know how they even made it out of

760
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 4: their round, but I picked it before they started the tournament,

761
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 4: So why not? Milwaukee nineteenth and defensive rebound rate that's

762
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 4: not very good. New York second offensive rebound rate. So

763
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 4: I will be watching Mitchell Robinson. He's been doing a

764
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 4: good job of staying out of foul trouble this season.

765
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: It's queer low foul rate for him. He's leading the

766
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 4: league in offensive rebound rate. He's a big time difference maker,

767
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 4: especially considering the Bucks are a gigantic team with Giannis

768
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 4: and Brook inside. So if Robinson is able to stay

769
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 4: on the court, New York's got a shot.

770
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't read it, or I didn't believe I

771
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 2: should say the Knicks defensive numbers, but somehow Fred Katz

772
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: has written about the athletic that top Thibodeaux has them working.

773
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson is on pace for like one hundred and

774
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: forty charges drawn this season, which would be the new record.

775
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 2: He's just falling when people hit him, and it's smart.

776
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 4: He just forty charges just like doing the math in

777
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 4: my head, like.

778
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 2: After the game. Yeah, yes, exactly one hundred and forty

779
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: charges drawn. You know who the all time?

780
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: What's the record?

781
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: It's like one hundred twenty nine. Surprisingly, it's a lot.

782
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: We can we get it.

783
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not lowry. Now, somebody did a greatsure, No,

784
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: it's a big that when I say when I say, now, Kevin,

785
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: that's a good guess. It's somebody that hasn't played in

786
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 2: a while, is retired, retired for a while. But you

787
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 2: notice his hair flopping around when he falls. Yeah, I've

788
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: forgotten about that.

789
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 4: Hair helps him problem totally charges.

790
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, that's something to watch for Bronson. How many

791
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 3: charges does he take to night? You know you can

792
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: bet on that. What's the over under? I guess musta

793
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: you're telling me it must be set out like two

794
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 3: and a half or something.

795
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it charges drawn like a pick hitting him

796
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: is also counts as a whistle like some he's saying

797
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: when he is Okay, we.

798
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: Are literally almost counting how many times does he fall

799
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 3: down and get a whistle in his team's finer?

800
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, that's what it's called.

801
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: All right, let's hear your predictions, Nick Box, Suns Lakers.

802
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 3: Who's going to Vegas tonight? Let us know they're in

803
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: the stream team. Yesterday, the NBA unveiled the lineup of

804
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: trophies for the inaugural in season tournament. Let's look at these.

805
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 3: We got a closer look at the gold NBA Cup.

806
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: We've seen this one, but we know some more facts

807
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 3: about it. It's twenty three inches tall. You know what

808
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: that represents, Michael Jordan, No, you're twenty twenty three Okay,

809
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: the start of the IST. Let's look at the IST

810
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 3: MVP Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player in the

811
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 3: n Season Tournament. As Trey noted on Twitter, looks like

812
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 3: a dream male organizer.

813
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: Come on, you put your envelopes in top slots and

814
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 4: your magazines in the hole in the way at the bottom.

815
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: It's nice, I see it.

816
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: Wouldn't they follow those magazines? Oh you're putting right at

817
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: the bottom. Yeah, yeah, it looks like a burrito to me.

818
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: Like each player on the in season Tournament championship team

819
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: is going to get medals.

820
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 4: Guys.

821
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean this is a custom that's typically followed across

822
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: basketball tournaments. Cool like events worldwide. Yeah, NBA in season

823
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 3: tournament champions etched on the front of the metal along

824
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: with the year, and then, finally, following the end of

825
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: the tourney, a panel of media members will select an

826
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 3: in season Tournament All Tournament Team consisting of the five

827
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: most outstanding players throughout the competition, and these guys will

828
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: receive a solid black crystal bowling ball that apparently weighs

829
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: about twenty pounds, so.

830
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 4: It's got some weight to it. Twenty pounds yeah wow, yeah,

831
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 4: so watch it.

832
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: Tell us thoughts thoughts on all of the hardware that

833
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: we saw there yesterday, Trey, what do.

834
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 4: You think twenty pounds? Man's I'm worried somebody's gonna drop it.

835
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 4: It looks shadow like crazy. I like the cup, the

836
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 4: medals in the ball, Okay, the MVP trophy kind of

837
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 4: looks like a kitchen utensil.

838
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little weird.

839
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 4: It looks a little weird, but I like that they

840
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 4: have it I like that it exists in general. Yeah,

841
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 4: Like the metals are cool. We're like, they should have

842
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 4: something wearable. They got something wearable.

843
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they did pretty good with the cup. I

844
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: totally agree. I like the name of it, NBA Cup.

845
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 2: I think they're trying to internationalize it this thing, make

846
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: it more like football, like soccer. Yeah, Fay Cup that

847
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: they win. But it's twenty three inches tall.

848
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 4: Yep.

849
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 2: Is it going to grow every year as we get

850
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 2: to that?

851
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: I don't think so, It's just going to be that

852
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: inaugural JD. Do you have any thoughts on the hardware.

853
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 6: I like them all actually, yeah, probably because they have

854
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 6: a major Star Wars vibe to me. Yeah, like this

855
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 6: streams Star Wars. Sure, it reminds me of the Interrogator droid.

856
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah right, yep.

857
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 4: Yes.

858
00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 6: And then the metals, it's like han So hans Al

859
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 6: and Luke Skywarker get metals at the end of episode

860
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 6: four did not get one for some reason.

861
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, big spin snub.

862
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard that Rachel Nichols didn't vote for Huby

863
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: Brown was the only vote for Chewbacca.

864
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 6: Incredible, incredible, But when you get it, when there's a

865
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 6: closer look, it I mean, this is this is the Jedi,

866
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 6: this is what the what the rebellion gives out. But

867
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 6: the actual ones, they kind of look like the Imperial Metals,

868
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 6: like the bad guys. I mean they're close, right, I like, I.

869
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: Do like across all of the hardware here. I don't

870
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 3: love the m v P trophy. It's just a little weird,

871
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: but like I do like the like the colors, like

872
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 3: the golden black and the shining looks cool. So we'll

873
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 3: see if we'll see if they don't know how they

874
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 3: react when they're handed these, you know, be it be

875
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 3: It Lebron or Hallberger, Yes, but I mean the other

876
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: I just mean, are they gonna.

877
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 4: Be pumped about this?

878
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 3: It feels like some of these teams will be, and

879
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: hopefully they are.

880
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 4: Are they gonna have comedy or like a Novelly sized

881
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 4: checks as well? Every like sale comes out with fifteen

882
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 4: five hundred thousand dollars. Get I do wonder if this

883
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 4: is them tipping their hands about what the environment's going

884
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 4: to look like once we get to the knockout stage.

885
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 4: Everything is black and gold, I think so. I think

886
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 4: so it makes sense with Vegas as well.

887
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Court's going to have exactly all that,

888
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: Like that'll be like the stripe will be either gold

889
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 3: or black, whatever way they go.

890
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

891
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 3: Okay, speaking of MVP, though, who's gonna get that crazy trophy?

892
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: Who is your in season tournament MVP so far? Tests

893
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: you have a list?

894
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 4: Do you have a guy?

895
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 2: No, I didn't put the list together. I gotta be

896
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: entirely honest here.

897
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 4: Do you have a favorite?

898
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 2: Well, this is kind of a good a good number here,

899
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: because I don't think Lebron James will be favored at

900
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: this point because he is turning thirty. But he could

901
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 2: win this thing, So I'm gonna go with Lebron.

902
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: He would be on the short list. The list of

903
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 3: MVPs right now. I think the list is probably Lebron, Durant,

904
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 3: probably Damian Lillard, and and then Halliburton. Of of course

905
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 3: he's at the top.

906
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: What about my friend Yannis, Yeah, he could do it.

907
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 4: He's in the mix.

908
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 2: Of course. Yeah, he's not my friend, but anyway, I

909
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 2: hope he's my friend. I wish he was my friend.

910
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: But it's got to be out there. They're gonna get

911
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: to the semifinals. It's gonna be they're gonna or Dame

912
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 2: could even do it.

913
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Halliburton is averaging twenty eight points per game, five boards,

914
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: thirteen and a half assists, with five three pointers made

915
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 3: per game. These are in the in season tournament games

916
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 3: with shooting splits a fifty one, forty six and eighty eight.

917
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: And yeah, the Pacers are five and zero. He's probably

918
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 3: the leader in the clubhouse. But those other superstars, I think,

919
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: of course, have a chance to get this.

920
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. I saw the NBA dot com literally has an

921
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 4: ist MVP ladder. Oh really, yeah, it was doing it.

922
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 4: Who's doing it? Pla Ashburg it was? It was neither.

923
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 4: I didn't recognize the name Mark. Hey man, I don't know. Okay,

924
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 4: I wasn't checking the bylines then intensely. I just made

925
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 4: the notes of the stats here. Okay, but one and

926
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 4: two where Halliburton and Lebron Halliburton, will you said his stats?

927
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 4: He obviously had a triple double in game one of

928
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 4: the knockout last night. Lebron and group play fIF twenty

929
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 4: five points per game, eight rebounds, seven and a half assists.

930
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 4: He's shooting sixty percent from the field, seventeen for eighteen

931
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 4: in the restricted area, and fourteen of twenty four from three.

932
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 4: He's the Western Conference MVP I think so far, and

933
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 4: then Halliburton is the Eastern Conference MVP. And we'll see

934
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 4: how far Lebron goes.

935
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: So here's a real question, because Booker missed some of

936
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 3: those in season tournament group play games. If Booker has

937
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: an incredible game tonight semifinals leads the Suns to a championship,

938
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 3: will like well, the voters or whoever you know, determines

939
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 3: this silver silver and his skims I don't know. Will

940
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 3: Will they give more weight to the knockout games than

941
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: the group play games because apparently they're all folded in here.

942
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 4: You would have to assume so, right, So yeah, I

943
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 4: think so Helliburton.

944
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: That definitely helps his case with the trip dub there

945
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 3: in one of the knockout games.

946
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: All right, I didn't I didn't know that these stats existed.

947
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 2: I just thought they were like a playing tournament thing

948
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: where eventually they'll be on. I mean, you can just

949
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: do the math and figure it out. They've played in

950
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 2: four games.

951
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 3: Well, the one thing we brought up on playback last

952
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 3: night is what happens with the stats for the final

953
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 3: game that that that mysterious game EMEE three Because these stats,

954
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 3: of course count to the regular season, but will that

955
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: eighty third game that those two teams play, like if

956
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: somebody goes for so, I think eighty points in the

957
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 3: finals is a good account.

958
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: Like last year. Wasn't that the year that mckelbridge just

959
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 2: played in eighty three games just because he was traded?

960
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that happens.

961
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:49,959
Speaker 3: You're right, and that does count to their Yeah, okay, okay, probably.

962
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: Probably probably are you out there, Michael Wright he does

963
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: the ladder?

964
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 4: Yeah it was Matthew Peterson. I mean you could have

965
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 4: told me it was cutes doing it. He's doing knockout.

966
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 4: One more question.

967
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 3: I saw this ONPN. I thought it was a fun one.

968
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: Trey will start with you if you've got an answer here.

969
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 3: What's one thing about the n season tournament that you

970
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 3: would change? I mean, we are big fans, we're loving

971
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: this so far, but is there something.

972
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 4: You would change moving forward? The name? Okay, number one

973
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 4: for me is the name. It's fun to say, I

974
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 4: st but in season tournament just feels like a placeholder.

975
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: It does.

976
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 3: I think that's the NBA Cup will be what NBA Cup? Yeah?

977
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean w NBA calls their n season tournament

978
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 4: the Commissioner's Cup, So maybe they're not trying to do

979
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 4: exactly the same. But you're playing for the NBA Cup.

980
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 4: The Silver Cup sounds sort of cool too. Yeah, but

981
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: it's cool, damn it. See that might be the thing.

982
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 4: Maybe they're just saving the name for a sponsorship, which

983
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 4: is too bad. How about is the tip Off classic?

984
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: It's early in the season, Okay, I like, you know,

985
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 4: I like classic tip Off. Yeah, you're right, it's not

986
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 4: totally the tip Off, So name change.

987
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: I think most people would agree with that. I think

988
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: we will get there too. It'll either just happen naturally

989
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: or yeah, they'll or sponsor or something.

990
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the soccer effect. They just wanted to be

991
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 2: like the FA Cup. Let's just do it, just throw

992
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: a cup. And that's why they've done pretty well with

993
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: the As you said, the NBA Trophy here the trophy

994
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 2: for the winner, because it's unlike the finals trophies, and

995
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: it just has such a simple name. I'm glad they

996
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: didn't name it after some random player. And it's just

997
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 2: going to be a cup.

998
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 4: Well, it's eventually going to be the Halliburton MVP or

999
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 4: something like that. They're gonna have to make it zero

1000
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 4: inches tall because he's number zero.

1001
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 3: Let me throw. Let me throw a couple things that

1002
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 3: some of our friends at ESPN thought might be decent changes.

1003
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 3: So Tim McMahon, again of ESPN, he wrote, as someone

1004
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 3: who believes sportsmanship is the most overrated thing in sports,

1005
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm all for running up the score. However, for the

1006
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 3: sake of attempting to keep the peace, the league should

1007
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 3: probably cap the point differential benefits for each game. Maybe

1008
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 3: put fifty teen points is the maximum to prevent the

1009
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 3: awkwardness of intentionally hacking a bad free throw shooter midway

1010
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: through the fourth quarter of a blowout. That's McMahon's idea,

1011
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: because we did see that come up, right, this idea

1012
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 3: of teams. Did I write that it could have happened

1013
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 3: to any of teams running up to score in the

1014
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 3: group stage? Do you think there's something to that?

1015
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 4: Maybe? Or keep it the way it is because it's hilarious, Okay,

1016
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 4: So that was my second, more serious suggestion. It's something

1017
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 4: along the same lines. I think there should be more

1018
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 4: games in the group stage because we ended up having

1019
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 4: seven teams finished three to one, and only four of

1020
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 4: those teams moved on. So the point to froncial night

1021
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 4: that was last Tuesday, Right, it was pretty cool, yeah,

1022
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 4: but also pretty weird, yeah, to be quite honest, which

1023
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 4: then leads to the Celtics hacking Drummond and having to

1024
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 4: apologize to the coach, but then also the Celtics getting

1025
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 4: mad that Buddy Heal took a three at the buzzer

1026
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 4: last night, like you can't have it both ways. And

1027
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 4: the way of the NBA for the first seventy six

1028
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 4: seasons has been the unwritten rule of don't run out

1029
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 4: the score right at the end of the game. So

1030
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 4: I do think there's something to play with there.

1031
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 3: What about a twist? What about what about almost ditching

1032
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 3: the point the point differential and replacing the tiebreaker mechanism

1033
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 3: with quarter wins, like you're actually playing.

1034
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 4: To win each quarter.

1035
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 3: Interesting where then it's not so much like, oh, we

1036
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 3: got to win by thirty five, it's just you got

1037
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: to win the quarter. That would probably reduce like these

1038
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 3: crazy like you're up by a ton, but oh we

1039
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 3: got to be up by more to hopefully get in.

1040
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: I think it's something there. Maybe it's a little too.

1041
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: Con Yeah, I think it's a little too convoluted to many,

1042
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 2: too many numbers.

1043
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 4: I do believe the numbers one, two, three, and four.

1044
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: Four numbers rather than just certain that keep.

1045
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: Track of like winning quarters. Yeah, that would be the

1046
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 3: tie breaker.

1047
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 2: So they're going to be an assistant coach that says, well, yeah,

1048
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: we won three three of these quarters.

1049
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 3: Hey guys, we got to win this quarter quarter differential.

1050
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, I think there's a little a little

1051
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 3: tweaked to maybe they're.

1052
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: Thinking about they're thinking about the that last night and

1053
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: reducing the offs of it. For sure, the increase in

1054
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: games totally would reduce that, just because the records would

1055
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: mean more.

1056
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1057
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 3: I sort of push back on I get what you're saying,

1058
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 3: because yeah, we had a bunch of teams over three

1059
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 3: and one and then it got into point differential. But

1060
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: like Bontemps in the same article, he says, wait till

1061
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 3: we have thirty two teams. We talked about this a

1062
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 3: little bit on playback last night. Wait till we have

1063
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 3: thirty two teams. That way, we could have eight groups

1064
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: of four teams, have everyone played twice, and then we

1065
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 3: just moved to a bigger knockout round. We could expand

1066
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 3: it to you know, sixteen teams. If we really wanted

1067
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,880
Speaker 3: to some more games. Everybody who played six games? What

1068
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: do you mean if there was no how many groups

1069
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 3: of everyone? Have everyone played twice? Oh? I guess he

1070
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: is saying, yeah, within those groups play twice. Oh yeah,

1071
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: I guess you would be saying at.

1072
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:46,439
Speaker 2: Home and home.

1073
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking more. I was just play each

1074
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 3: other one still. I just want to get to the knockout.

1075
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 3: This is the fun, this is the March madness part.

1076
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 3: So let's just get there earlier and have more teams

1077
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 3: and see if they can make a Cinderella run or whatever.

1078
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 2: But it has been cool because the teams have been

1079
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 2: into the regular group stage games.

1080
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 4: Yeah they have. They have.

1081
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 2: They've been into it, and that's why the NBA is saying,

1082
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 2: oh this is good. TV stations are going to pay

1083
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: a little bit more, advertiser are going to pay a

1084
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 2: little bit more when we negotiate come March, and so

1085
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: it's going to help. But they shouldn't get mad at

1086
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 2: players just for shooting the ball. Like yesterday, Buddy Heel

1087
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 2: shot one at the at the end, just shot a

1088
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: three because Pacers fans were yelling. They literally were yelling,

1089
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 2: and that's why Buddy was asked after why did you

1090
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: shoot it? Well, the fans were yelling at me to

1091
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 2: shoot the ball. Why shouldn't I shoot the ball? He

1092
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: turned and he shot, and he hit it. I shot, buddy, He.

1093
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: Hit his over too for.

1094
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 3: He did have to bring it back to gambling. If

1095
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 3: you had the over three and a half. He helped

1096
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 3: you out there, The fans helped you out I guess, go, Bud, Where.

1097
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 4: Do you go? Budd?

1098
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,479
Speaker 3: And mcmahamon had one more thought. He says, the number

1099
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 3: one seed coming out a group play should be able

1100
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 3: to pick its opponent instead of automatically facing the fourth

1101
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 3: seeded wildcard team in the quarterfinals. Just a just an

1102
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: idea from Dave there.

1103
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 4: I don't mind it.

1104
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 3: I mean, we always liked the idea of like and

1105
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 3: we've talked about this in the playoffs, right, the idea

1106
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 3: of the concept of you get to pick who you

1107
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 3: want to play, and how fun that would be. I

1108
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 3: could see it working here in sort of a lower

1109
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 3: stakes NBA Cup.

1110
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 2: Why not?

1111
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 4: Good way to try it out. Yeah, give it a go.

1112
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 3: All right, we'll take a break one more and when

1113
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 3: we come back.

1114

Speaker 4: Tweet of the night.

Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, this tweet comes to us from somebody in

1119
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 4: the NBA family, but it ain't about basketball hardly at all.

1120
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 4: Maybe an answer will be about basketball. Nonetheless, it's from

1121
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 4: Nate Jones at Jones on the NBA, who simply tweeted

1122
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 4: out my first enemies along with a picture of gargamel

1123
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:56,440

1124
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 4: he man, but he's still battling against these guys that

1125
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 4: I just thought it was hilarious. Who were the first enemies?

1126
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 4: You had his children?

Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a like he had a big thread,

1128
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,719

00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,120

Speaker 4: got an answer.

1132
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 3: My one of my first ones that I can remember,

1133
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 3: the Gorgs from Fregle Rock. I hate these giant beasts

Speaker 3: I think it was radishes like this was I mean,

1140
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 3: this was like a statement about the world. I guess

1141
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 3: here from Jim Henson and the Muppet Gang. But yeah,

1142
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 3: like the Fragles wanted the radishes, the Doozers wanted like

1143
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 3: those little construction guys, they wanted the radishes, and then

1144
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 3: they wanted the radishes. These gorgs, but these were like

1145
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 3: those you know, twenty feet tall giants.

00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 2: That was a great tweet. It did take me back

1153
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 2: because I went through all of that thread and I

1154
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 2: saw Shredder hated.

Speaker 6: This, I mean not not cartoon Like my first like

1178
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 6: scary monster was Jaws. My dad took me to see

1179
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 6: Jaws in the theater when it like a week after

1180
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 6: it came out. I was like five. That was that

1181
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 6: altered me?

1182
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 4: Like, no, wonder you're such a fast swimmer. Yeah, Dad,

1183
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 4: give me the pool.

1184
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 6: Yeah. But we were first online for Jazz too when

1185
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 6: he came out a couple of years later. So I

1186
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 6: love but I hated that shark.

1187
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 4: I hated that darn shark.

1188
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 3: It is the first one.

1189
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 6: End Uh, he the spoiler. Everybody, he gets blown up.

1190
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 6: He's he's chomping on a scuba tank and Roy Scheider

1191
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 6: shoots the tank and that blows up and it's in

1192
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 6: his mouth.

1193
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 3: And then so what's the premise of just too? It's

1194
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 3: just another shark.

1195
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 6: It's another shark, another shark. It's always another shark.

1196
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 4: What about you? Yeah, it's the Decepticons. For me, I

1197
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 4: used to pretend to be a Transformer, you know, just

1198
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 4: be out look at now I'm a car survivor. That's

1199
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 4: why I like it, like that bit so much. Oh man,

1200
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 4: I went on the Transformers Wikipedia today. That's a thing.

1201
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 4: The Decepticons are one of the primary factions in the

1202
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 4: Transformers mythos. They're typically concerned with such things as conquering Cybertron,

1203
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 4: defeating the Autobots, amassing large quantities of Energon, developing powerful weaponry,

1204
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 4: and beating people up, not necessarily in that order.

1205
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I sort of like I thought they were sort

1206
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 3: of cool though too. Yeah, it's sort of like n

1207

Speaker 2: All right. That's why I love going to New Orleans.

1210
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just see people in their Transformers costumes is

1211
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 2: on the road, just doing their thing, being extremely talented. Yea,
