Speaker 4: You never know what this one.

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: You never know.

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: It's just a magical design. You know, it's a magical design.

35
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: It's a magical design. All right? Tonight's podcast, should we

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: start with just twenty minutes on Chris Bouchet's dunk on

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: two bucks? You want to go with that? What do

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: you think?

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: Late?

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: You want to go with that big dunk?

41
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: No? Yeah, throwing dots out there.

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: We were awaiting the Nuggets Lakers game to wrap up,

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: and oh boy, we were like, oh it's gonna go

44
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: to overtime again. It's gonna be a late night here

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: for bubble wrap. But no Kyle Kuzma comes through in

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: the clutch game, winning three with about point four seconds left,

47
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: and then I don't know what the heck the Nuggets

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: were doing at the end there. Hey, maybe they thought

49
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: they had time to go for a quick two inside

50
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: the bowl bull and then maybe play the foul game

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: with just point four. But yeah, anyway, I think they

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: were sort of throwing it in there at the end. Lakers, though,

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: did they get their mojo back here tonight? Tasks one

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: twenty four one twenty one victory? They had lost three

55
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: in a row. Lebron good game, you know, a d

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: good game, Kuzma, great game. What do you think they

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: felt like they wanted this one a lot more than

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: the Nuggets? And I think that's safe to say.

59
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: They did, But they weren't really giving it at the end.

60
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: On defense, they're playing ola and that's why these games

61
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: are a little bit irritating. Even that point four seconds

62
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: left you bring up, they're down three points, the Denver

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Nuggets are, and they just toss it in. Its seems

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: like they don't want to give away their end of

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: game plays. It seems like throughout the league, teams aren't

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: really showing all their cards. That's my excuse. For TJ

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Warren tonight against Jimmy Butler. But hey, we'll get to

68
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: that a little bit later. Yeah, the Lakers look fine.

69
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: I don't think they're really trying all that much. I

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: think the story tonight is about the coups. You know,

71
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm high on Kyle Kuzma being there in the end.

72
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: I think they're still looking for the guys. It'll probably

73
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: be a game by game scenario where they find out

74
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: who's going to play it. Alongside Anthony Davis and Lebron,

75
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: James and Kus has been sort of the bright light

76
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: in this dim light of a bubble for the Lakers

77
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: that who've been struggling. I just overall, I just don't

78
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: think Lebron cares until I.

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: Actually do not agree with this take it all tonight.

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: I thought the Lakers were playing to win this game

81
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: and trying to get some things going here, get an

82
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: offense that was garbage in this bubble going, get some

83
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: confidence going a little bit. Lebron played thirty eight minutes,

84
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: Ad played thirty eight minutes. On the flip side of

85
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, played their star guys for a little bit,

86
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: and then again we've sort of the white flag for

87
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: the most part.

88
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: I thought they wanted it.

89
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Tests I'm not sure I agree with the you know,

90
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: I get it fro the big picture, like does it

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: really matter, Let's just not get injured. We're the number

92
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: one seed. But there was something tonight from this team

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: I thought was a little bit like, you know, we're

94
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: on the late game here on TNT, the game leading

95
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: into the record breaking twelfth consecutive bubble wrap, let's put

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: up a good performance because that let's let's at least

97
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: get a flow going, lee Will.

98
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: They wanted to streaks.

99
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: They'd left three in a row, you know, having Lebron,

100
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: and that was basically their closing lineup out on the

101
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 3: floor for the for the last quarter. I think Lebron

102
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: and Anthony Daves are playing the Nuggets second unit was

103
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: playing really well scoring the ball, and they will look

104
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: at this game and think we should have won this one.

105
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: So I think it was more Frank Vogel was saying, listen,

106
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 3: we know we've locked up number one. We're not playing

107
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: all that well.

108
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: Though.

109
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 3: Lebron maybe he's got a little bit of a tweak

110
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: and they grew and maybe he wanted to stretch that

111
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: out just to see how we how that's doing, and

112
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: the Lakers just wanted to get back in the wing column.

113
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: I think that's important. I think going into the playoffs,

114
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: you want to be playing well, and the Lakers hadn't

115
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: been playing well, so I think they absolutely went after

116
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: this game tonight and got a really, really good performance

117
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: from that second unit from the Nuggets because Yokich wasn't

118
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 3: on the end. It was bowl ball, it was Plumbly,

119
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: it was Morris, it was Baits d up, and the

120
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Nuggets gave them everything they could. So the Lakers pulled

121
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: this one off and they you know, again, Lebron just

122
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: simply wouldn't be on the court if the Lakers didn't

123
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: care about this result. And I think Frank Vogel was

124
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: just trying to get his guys back on the same

125
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: page and looking at sort of what he would like

126
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: to use down the stretching games as well as far

127
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: as his lineups.

128
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: It's a very double edged sword, because you know, this

129
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: game was if PJ. Doser makes a free throw and

130
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: Kyle Kuzma's three rims out, we're talking about this being

131
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 4: a bad loss for the Lakers, seeing them blow the

132
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 4: lead in the fourth quarter to a team that's not

133
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: even playing their starters. It would be a different story,

134
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 4: no doubt about it, if Kuzma dosn't hit a major

135
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 4: clutch shot. But you also look at the shooting from

136
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: three fourteen to twenty nine for the Lakers, and that's

137
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: where they did get their mojob. That's been a huge

138
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: concern so far for the Lakers in the bubble, not

139
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: knocking down threes. So I think that's a lot of

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 4: the reason you're hearing to talk about the offense getting

141
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: going again, because they're finally knocking down the shots that

142
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: are going to be important for them come playoff time.

143
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: But it is a bright spot. See Kuzma hit that

144
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: huge clutch three, He's at the very least earned the

145
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 4: first shot at being a clutched lineup guy, right. I mean,

146
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: he's been great all bubble long. He's contributing on defense,

147
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: and he can he has the confidence to take a

148
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 4: shot when it really matters.

149
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was a nice play.

150
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the close of the game is what I

151
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: was really referring to, because I just don't think they

152
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: cared to really go all that hard playing defensively against that.

153
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: You know, the six through ten guys on the Denver Nuggets, who, yeah,

154
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: obviously outscored the Lakers bench by a billion tonight. They

155
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: did their job. I was more impressed by the Nuggets starters.

156
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: I just think it's a crazy story for them to

157
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: come down to the bubble. They don't know who the

158
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: heck is playing for them. Basically, so many guys contract

159
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: the virus, are coming late or injured, and Michael Porter

160
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: Junior comes down and basically steals a starting spot for them.

161
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: He's playing against Lebron James, starting against him for the

162
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: first time in his career, and just dg AF just

163
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: goes right at Lebron. And that's the kind of attitude.

164
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: I think the Nuggets need to get to that next

165
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: level because it just seems like they're sort of, you know,

166
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: plateaued at this point and they sort of need somebody.

167
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: Even though Michael Porter Junior isn't a raw rock guy,

168
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: I think they just need a bit of a spark,

169
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: a bit of spice, even though Jamal Murray was supposed

170
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: to be that guy. And it's just an interesting lineup move.

171
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: When will Barton and Gary Harris come back, I assume

172
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior will still be in that starting lineup.

173
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: How the heck, do you take him out? And I

174
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: just like the way he has that confidence. It's just

175
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: a kind of a wild story that's I don't know,

176
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: kind of been overshadowed, I guess at this point because

177
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: his numbers aren't huge game to game, but he was

178
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: six for six tonight right in Lebron's eye, and you

179
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: know he's only played twenty four minutes. The thing is

180
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: with this ta I don't think the Lakers are really

181
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: concerned because there's absolutely nobody who can guard Lebron on

182
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: this team when he wants to put his head down.

183
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: Paul Millsap is just he's just there's too much size

184
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: and we go back to the Cleveland Atlanta days that

185
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: aren't go for sure. Trey has he ever beaten Lebron

186
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: in a playoff game? I don't think so, right, I.

187
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: Think that's right. I think it might be a clean sweep.

188
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: But and that was what four years ago at this point. Yeah,

189
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: that's a tough matchup, no doubt. But it's also pretty

190
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: unlikely that the Nuggets and Lakers run into each other

191
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: come playoff time.

192
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is unlikely. I think I thought I sort

193
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: of thought Lebron and the Lakers were gonna take this

194
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: game seriously. Earlier in the day, when Lebron was showing

195
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: up to the arena with an open, flowing shirt, you

196
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: know you're going with that look, then you better sort

197
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: of back it up with a pretty good performance. I

198
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: don't thinking he was actually having a rough night until

199
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: he got to go in. But I'm also just pointed,

200
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: especially for this record breaking night, that we just got

201
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: to keep pointing out nobody wanted to rock the Lebron

202
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: you know, open shirt, Trey. I thought for sure you

203
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: were gonna be jumping on zoom here with that look tonight.

204
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: All I probably should have I botched it, honestly, let

205
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: me go run downstairs real.

206
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: Open already did it though, So yeah, yeah, that was smooth.

207
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: That was funny. I like these like weird color blocked

208
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: shirt Dwayne Wade is wearing like he's taking the dress shirt,

209
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: which is fairly normal shirt because it's a you know,

210
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: we did a lot of television, We had a lot

211
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: of normal colored shirt dress shirts, you know, but he's

212
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: adding like these weird bars trail, Like is this a

213
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: have I just missed this sort of you know, groundbreaking

214
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: fashion move. There's like a bar around an arm or

215
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: a big weird stripe the other night, and like this

216
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: is different. This is just more people hopping on board

217
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: with the shoulder plaids bandwagon. You know, it started with

218
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: plaid on the shoulders. Now it's just blocks of color everywhere.

219
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: Pretty soon shirts will never be one color. Only you

220
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: heard it here and my buddy Dub creating the shoulder plaids.

221
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm surprised I didn't catch on. I want

222
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: to ask you guys one thing they brought up on

223
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: the broadcast. I think Jared Greenberg was talking about it.

224
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: Do you think there's some truth to this idea that

225
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers as the number one seed, actually have a

226
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: disadvantage because of this play in series, Like the argument being, well,

227
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna be sitting around here over the weekend not

228
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: knowing who they're going to be playing, while all the

229
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: other teams will be I mean, they're gonna know their matchup,

230
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna start game planning for it. Okay, what are

231
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: we gonna do? And all that they're not gonna know

232
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: if it's you know, whatever, the final two teams are

233
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: come come Saturday, task, why do you start like is

234
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: there something to that or like relax, You're the number

235
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: one seed. Doesn't really matter, Like should you even be

236
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: concerned about that?

237
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: I guess they find out Thursday night when all the

238
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Western Conference teams are done, whether it's one of two teams,

239
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: so they will have the let's say, in one scenario,

240
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: the Blazers or the Grizzlies, okay, playing on Saturday nights.

241
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: So what are they game planning for? Really? You know

242
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: what the Blazers, I guess you're talking about some guard,

243
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: you're talking about a water bug, or we're going how

244
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 2: we're gonna deal with Dame, how are we going to

245
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: deal with John Morant? And I guess I don't know.

246
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: I don't really think it's a big deal that they

247
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 2: have to game plan for those guys. You know, if

248
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: you're going with the Blazers, that their bigs are going

249
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 2: to play more of a role up against you use

250
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: off Nurkic. I guess both scenarios, you're gonna have a

251
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: big playing a lot of the time with Jonas Valanciunas.

252
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: I don't know.

253
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: I'm just not buying it. An extra day and I

254
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: guess an extra two days.

255
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: I really doesn't see more time, more time knowing your opponent,

256
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: that's all it is. But if you're that worried as

257
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: the number one seed about who you're gonna play, pretty

258
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: gate seed, then you're probably a little week.

259
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: I don't think it's wired. It's just as much that

260
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: you don't have as much preparation ton and that's all

261
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: it is. Now the advantage comes back to you because

262
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: that team will have played more recently in perhaps two games.

263
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: Are they going to come in a little bit heavy

264
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 3: leg compared to the other teams. But yeah, I think

265
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: when you earn and that's what Frank Vogel was signing

266
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: to Jared Greenbore, you know, when Greenberg was talking about it,

267
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 3: He's like, you know, we work hard to get that

268
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: number one seed, and then we have to wait a

269
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: little bit longer than every other team in the playoffs.

270
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: And that sort of is something that shouldn't happen if

271
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: you were the number one seed because coming into the bubble,

272
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: remember they were trying to figure out all sorts of

273
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: ways to advantageous that's not really the right word, but

274
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 3: give an advantage to the higher seats. And now this one,

275
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: this has been a problem that I guess no one

276
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: really saw was this actually works against that team. So

277
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: I buy it's not going to make a huge difference

278
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: because look, they've played these teams, they know how to

279
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 3: scout them anyway. But teams and coaches like to have

280
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: a game plan. They like to have a couple of

281
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: days to work on it and then go over it

282
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 3: in practice, and if you only have a day or

283
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: so in between, it gives you less time. So I

284
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: think there's something to it. I don't think it's major,

285
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: but I can understand why the Lakers would would be like, hey,

286
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: come on, that's something that's a little bit unfair when

287
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: we are the you know, we have the number one

288
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: seed in the whole conference.

289
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Right and we don't even have home court advantage because

290
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: of this weird situation, which was added on the broadcast too. Yeah,

291
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think at this point, the Sons

292
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: have played so well, we're going to get to them.

293
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: They remain perfects have surprised a lot of people. There's

294
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: still the zombie Spurs. You can't kill them. You know,

295
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Blazers got their full squad, Grizzlies are holding on. Why

296
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: don't we just do this. Let's just call it a

297
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: four way tie between those four teams. And the Lakers

298
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: get to pick who they want to play. We'll make

299
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: it like a thirty minute show on NBA TV or

300
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: in TNT, whatever you want to do, and uh, you know,

301
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: we'll talk it out. We'll get Lebron in there, We'll

302
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: get Vogel in there, and they can like debate who

303
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: they should want to play. Who do they really want

304
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: to take on? You know, and we can have a

305
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: representative for each team. There's there, man, they're all one spot.

306
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: We can make that television show happen.

307
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not? Hey, why not? Things are different this year,

308
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: so who.

309
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: Would they pick? The questions are different.

310
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if they picked the Spurs right now,

311
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 3: to be honest, if especially if Derek White is out.

312
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 3: I mean they got no one in the middle with

313
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 3: Yaka Pertle there. DeRozan obviously he can go and get

314
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: your basket buckets. But the Spurs defense has been awful

315
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: this year, so I think they'd probably pick San Antonio

316
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: out of those things. Just the Suns are hot, the

317
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: Blazers have got a couple of thud players.

318
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're not picking the Suns or Blazers. I

319
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: think you'd either pick the Grizzlies or Spurs and the

320
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: grizly Ha's.

321
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: It got that like what happens in mirand just goes crazy.

322
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 3: Yet that we don't want that. We want to deal

323
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: with the Spurs. We know what we know in some

324
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: to some degree what we're dealing with.

325
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Fascinating the other thing from the last couple of days.

326
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it like complaining or anything,

327
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: but Lebron James admitted that he's adjusting to playing without fans.

328
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: Trey he had a lot to say about it. I mean,

329
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna read the whole quote, but he's like,

330
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: it's a weird dynamic. I'm not used to playing in

331
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: empty gyms with no fans. I mean, especially for a

332
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: guy like Lebron who was like obviously like the most

333
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: one of the most popular athletes in the world. Room

334
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: was in high school. So there's obviously a packed house

335
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: every time he plays. And then he also talked like

336
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: the backdrop it being dark and stuff like that. I

337
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: know some people are like, come on, like by this point,

338
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we are this isn't the first or second

339
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: day there down in Orlando, Like you're still talking about this.

340
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: What's your take on on Lebron you know again, probably

341
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: was asked about it and was just being forthright about it.

342
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: Still an incredible flex to be, like, I haven't played

343
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: in the in this empty since high school.

344
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: You know that's pretty amazing, Uh middle school for him Broly. Yeah,

345
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: I guess that's probably true.

346
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,239
Speaker 4: But a lot of players have raved about the shooting backdrops.

347
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 4: Obviously Lebron is not one of them. He hasn't been

348
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: shooting well so far. But are we seriously going to

349
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: let this guy plant the seeds for a shooting backdrop

350
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: and being the number one seed at a disadvantage before

351
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: we even get to the playoffs?

352
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: Come on, come on, go on.

353
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll figure it out.

354
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: Five for eleven tonight. He figured it out.

355
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: He did start to figure it out. Yeah, he was

356
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: hitting the three ball a little bit. He said. It's

357
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: very dark, extremely dark. You can literally hear a feather

358
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: hit the ground. I'm just getting more and more comfortable.

359
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he added that at the end, playing in

360
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: the bubble Lee, how would you shoot in an empty

361
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: gym in a weird, cavernoush gym. You've done it before

362
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: at Arenas.

363
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I done it forever. Well, that's a thing in

364
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 3: the Super Diamond New Orleans. Weird didn't shoot out there, Man,

365
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: that felt like the hoop was miles away. Right, That's

366
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: that's easily the deepest uh, sort of like arena that

367
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: I've been in where you shoot and you just you

368
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: walk out to that three point line, especially at the top,

369
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: and you're just like, oh my god, this is gonna

370
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: take so much effort to get that shot up. But yeah,

371
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: so it'd be different for Lebron. You know, I can

372
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: understand one, yeah, bic.

373
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: The different look, But I don't know about still talking

374
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: about it, maybe like ten days in. It's all it's

375
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: a little strange again. I mean, now he's got to

376
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: go in, so it won't even be a big deal.

377
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to get your take on anything

378
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: to add to that test.

379
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: No, I think Lee summed it up. He is Lebron perfectly.

380
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: We're all good, all right.

381
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Suns. Then Devin Booker's thirty five.

382
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: It helped them top the thunder tonight one twenty eight,

383
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: one oh one, so they're still perfect. The Cinderella Sons

384
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: six and oh now, okay, see played without a lot

385
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: of their guys. No SGA, no, Gallinari, no Steven Adams,

386
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: no Denis Shrewder, no Nerlands, no Hell goes On and

387
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: no no. And there's a good win regardless, okay, because

388
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: they gotta win. They have to win to get in

389
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: the damn thing. But they had a bit of a

390
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: scare task at the beginning of this game, when it

391
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: was suddenly like we learned DeAndre Eaton had missed a

392
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: coronavirus conronavirus test excuse me on Sunday, which then forced

393
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: him to have to take another one, of course, and

394
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: then arrive late to the Sun's Thunder game like it's

395
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: already underway. He missed the entire first quarter. I mean,

396
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: he was there for a bit of it, but it

397
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: got him on the bike. He wasn't in the first quarter.

398
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: He ends up playing, but what a weird moment, and

399
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: man like, how happy is he that they won this game?

400
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean he had ten and six in like seventeen minutes.

401
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: He was fine, not great. It's probably his worst game

402
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: down there. But you imagine the Sons had lost this game,

403
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: the story this would be with DeAndre Ayton, you know,

404
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: blowing it, really missing the window for his test and

405
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: putting his team at Jeopardy really for the first quarter,

406
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: and luckily he did play.

407
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and luckily he was playing a team that, yeah,

408
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: we're missing all those guys, three starters sitting out and

409
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 2: they're not the deepest of teams beyond that, Plus Dennis

410
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: still isn't there, So yeah, they were playing. I was

411
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: enjoying the Darius Baisley show for a while. Who is

412
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 2: their big lanky guy that looks exactly like all that

413
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: tape you watch around draft day you see a big

414
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: guy flying around, he just screams project. He's twenty years old,

415
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: and it was fun to watch him, to be honest,

416
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, they didn't have enough. They were just hitting everything.

417
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Guys who like Andre Robertson became a stud shooter all

418
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 2: of a sudden, and then yeah, it turned it was wild.

419
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: I was starting to feel a little antsy about the

420
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: whole situation, but you threw it in slacks skeets. Basically,

421
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: as the game tipped off, it came down from sham

422
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: Sharanya that he was en route to the game, so

423
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: everything was okay. And I guess because maybe a tiny

424
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: flashback of him having a twenty five game suspension this season,

425
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: so it just some weird, but hey, it's happened to

426
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: a few guys where they've missed a test and the

427
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: debate starts on Twitter. Shouldn't they just remember what do

428
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 2: they have to do in a bubble where they can't

429
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: They can't you know, set Hey, Siri, remind me coronavirus

430
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: test at ten am. No, No, I don't have one.

431
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Actually they take they take really long in Georgia. Don't

432
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: don't book me for a test, serie.

433
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: I think he was on the WOJH pod too on

434
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: the weekend on I don't know, maybe it went up

435
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday, who knows when he recorded it, Lee, but

436
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: was talking about how, you know, how mature's become now

437
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So people were pointing out, like,

438
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: this podcast just went up and now you miss a

439
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: test on the same day. What are you doing? Man?

440
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: But it didn't ultimately matter because despite a great first

441
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: quarter from the Thunder, Yeah, they just don't have enough

442
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: guys of bodies to hang with a team. And the

443
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: Sons that have been playing phenomenal basketball and are still desperate,

444
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: and you know, Devin Booker hitting hitting shots like he's

445
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: in the Superdome, like distance there leave thirty nine feet.

446
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: I think it was in the play by play, felt

447
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: further than that, flat footed and splash that, and he

448
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: had a great overall game on for another thirty plus.

449
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: What was your teake on that game or eating or whatever?

450
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, the aight and thing. I thought he

451
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't have played at all, But then the report

452
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: came through that he could play when he was ready.

453
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 3: So maybe it's the Wosh curse that he's dealing with there.

454
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: But the thing is, I'm really surprised Chris Paul played.

455
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: I know Billy Donovan said he wants to play because

456
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 3: he's feeling good, he wants to get out there. And

457
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: now I only played twenty four minutes, but considering all

458
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: those other guys who weren't playing, clearly the Thunder weren't

459
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 3: trying to win this game anyway. So I thought there's

460
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 3: no real point in risking Chris Paul because he's the

461
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 3: sort of guy who we know in the historically he

462
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 3: picks up groins or hamstring injuries, and I thought this

463
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: is just a game where something like that could go wrong.

464
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 3: But anyway, ultimately, yeah, the Thunder didn't weren't trying to

465
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: win this game, and the Sons are just right now

466
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: rolling and they just need to keep that momentum going

467
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: because they can't afford to drop a game here. They

468
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: can still win out and not make it, so you know,

469
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: that's the thing. It's there, certainly the feel good story

470
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: of the Bubble right now, and it's good to see

471
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 3: them keep on winning and Booker to keep playing the

472
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: way that he has. But again, the second half of

473
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: this game, you were kind of like, well, there's not

474
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 3: really a whole lot to take out of it because

475
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 3: one team's trying to win and one team isn't. So

476
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: you know, you just have to you just sort of

477
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: enjoy the book a shot and all that. But it

478
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 3: wasn't like you felt the Thunder were really trying to

479
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 3: get back into it.

480
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: The only thing of note that did happen in the

481
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: second half that was interesting was Diallo diving at Booker's legs.

482
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, going for a deuce for a loose ball,

483
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: i should say, but taking out Booker and he was

484
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: none too happy. I don't know if you heard Eddie

485
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: Johnson on the Sun's call too. Eddie Johnson was telling

486
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: him to drop like a macho man. Randy Savage elbow

487
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: on his head.

488
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 4: That's what he said, say, like, I'm surprised Chris Paul

489
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: told him we don't do that around here basically, right,

490
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: he's calling him out, saying like, you should have been

491
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 4: educated a little bit here, Hamadu. But yeah, you know,

492
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: people have a lot of different opinions on the old

493
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: diving at the legs and you're just being scrappy. I mean,

494
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 4: I don't like the leg dive. But also Diallo, that's

495
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 4: how he's getting on the court, playing scrappy, right, He's

496
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: got to do everything he can that win over a coach,

497
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 4: especially in the game where he actually has an opportunity.

498
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: Just watch your legs, peeps.

499
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: Yeah he got deep, he got d low. Yeah, we

500
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: we always debate it the old Matthew delvadove, but taking

501
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: out a Kyle Korver situation or an Al Horford situation,

502
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: that's serious. I mean, we really haven't had a lot

503
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: of leg dives in the last a couple of years.

504
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: But speaking of staying with that, the Sun's broadcast in

505
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: the commercials, they're already selling their suites in the stadium

506
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: for next year.

507
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: They're really riding that like crazy. They're pushing that. Every

508
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: Sun's game. I've watched like these video boards they got

509
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, get in on the ground floor or

510
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: in these suits. I should say, yeah yeah.

511
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: Every commercial break we're seeing the suites. And obviously we

512
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: don't know what next year is going to be. But

513
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: I guess it's smart. They're not selling their season tickets,

514
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: but they're selling their suites. I guess where you can

515
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 2: maybe socially's but doesn't make sense like they're not going

516
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: to be there, but they're just taking every every opportunity

517
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: to ride the six game winning streak, the first six

518
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: game winning streak in Hell Long.

519
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Fourteen, isn't it since they had the three headed monster

520
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: point guards? I think I heard forty years as well.

521
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: She didn't check.

522
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: I think it's since they had drag h I T

523
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: and who was the third guard? Bloodsoe? Bloodsoe? Yeah? Wow,

524
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: remember that. That's good we had. Didn't we have a

525
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: photo of the three guys that.

526
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 3: Hold in the basketball got into the galaxy? I think

527
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: it was.

528
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: That's right?

529
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great? Every forty eight wins.

530
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, forty eight wins without making the playoffs? You did?

531
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: You slipped it in there ly as incredible as the

532
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: Sons have been they still actually don't control their own destiny.

533
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: That's the insane part. They're six and oh, could finish

534
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: eight and o and still miss the playing round, which

535
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: would be cruel. That would just be cruel, honestly, because

536
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: they need the Grizzlies and or the Blazers to lose

537
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: at least one game, yea, let alone whatever, of course

538
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: the Spurs, but they're actually I think a little bit

539
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: up on the spurs of it if they go wait, no,

540
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: those Suns do so this is this is amazing though

541
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: they're doing all of this. I had forgotten about it

542
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: until today for some reason. Sons are doing all of

543
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: this without Kelly Hubray Junior and Banzy mm hmm. Those

544
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: would be If I had asked you, heading into the

545
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: bubble ranked the Suns players from you know, best to worst,

546
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: You're going booker one and then I mean you, I

547
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: don't even know if you're putting number two heading into

548
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: the bubble, you are maybe putting those two guys. I

549
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: guess what I'm getting at is like two, three or three,

550
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: four somewhere in the top five, So two of their

551
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: top five players. I don't want to put words in

552
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: your mouth, Liam, I write that I mean I think

553
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: that's where you would have them.

554
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Ayton is that one who should be

555
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 3: there at number two, But I don't think he was.

556
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: He was a lot to be there at Kelly you broh, Yeah,

557
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: he was a he had a pretty good season for them,

558
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: and Binks, I mean Banks, He's very solid for that

559
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: team because he was knocking down the three as well

560
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: this year. But yeah, they clearly Ayton has stood up

561
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 3: and showing that he's got a lot of skill, you know,

562
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: coming into this bubble too. They won two of their

563
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: last three, so they've kne he had like a nine

564
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: game winning streak here, which would we would be incredible

565
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: here for the Suns. But yeah, if it doesn't matter though,

566
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 3: if they don't make the if they don't make the playoffs,

567
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 3: this is actually just some positive stuff coming out of Phoenix,

568
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 3: some good, you know, real basketball that you're like, this

569
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: team might finally be starting to improve. Now, again, we

570
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: might not see basketball for five months after this from

571
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 3: the Phoenix Suns, so there's a lot of time between

572
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: now and next season. But at least you look at

573
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: the pieces and the way they're competing and the way

574
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: that Devin Booker in my opinions, has sort of elevated

575
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: himself to a franchise guy. That's probably the most important

576
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: turning point for this franchise. If he can become kind

577
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: of like a James Harden in some way, then all

578
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden, the sun's outlook is really really bright.

579
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree with that. I would add to that,

580
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: like Cam Johnson, he looks like he could be, you know,

581
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: a potential steal if you want to call him that.

582
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: From the draft with his early development, mckel Bridges looks

583
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: obviously like already a guy that's going to be on

584
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: all defensive teams. And then even Javine coter Man that

585
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: guys like the perfect like backup guard you won on

586
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: your team. Like he is a goddamn dog. I think

587
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: they call him the what do they call the pit

588
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: bull or the bulldog or something like that, like that

589
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: he is. He would be so annoying to play. I

590
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 1: feel like, and this one, I think he had three

591
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: steals and two blocks and he's just all over guys.

592
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: It's always built. So yeah, I'm with you, Lee, You're right.

593
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: Even if they don't get in, I sort of hope

594
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: they do at this point because it's so cool. Especially

595
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: if they go eight no is they go eight no one,

596
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: don't get in. No, it suck.

597
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 4: If they go eight no one, don't get in and

598
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: be like winning forty eight games and not making the playoffs. Yeah,

599
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 4: and then not getting back, that's the bad thing. That's

600
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 4: the bad thing.

601
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: Sons.

602
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 4: You gotta do it a whole season. We've seen him

603
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 4: have great stretches and it's amazing. They're having a great

604
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 4: stretch right here, And to me, I was like, we've

605
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 4: seen him do stretches before. Who cares, But right now,

606
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 4: that's all you gotta do. You gotta play really well

607
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 4: for two weeks. They're doing it. Hopefully it pays off.

608
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 4: Hopefully hopefully they go eight no. Because I mean, even

609
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 4: if they missed the playoffs going eight and no, he

610
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: got a nice little chip on your shoulder.

611
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: You just got to be.

612
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: Able to roll it over next year. You can't be

613
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: missing your COVID tests and get suspended twenty five games.

614
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: You gotta be.

615
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 4: Professional about it, honestly, right like you're gonna have time off,

616
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a weird start to the next season.

617
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: You gotta make it count.

618
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: I just gave James Todden a compliment, and no one's

619
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 3: gonna congratulate me for that or anything, or just gonna

620
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 3: let that one slide under the right eye.

621
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I actually missed it. What did you say?

622
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: I said?

623
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 3: I said, if Devin Booker can become like a James Hodden, Oh,

624
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean.

625
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: Such a backhanded compliment coming from you, You're just dissing.

626
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal. I'm pumped, obviously as a Booker fan

627
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: for a long time to see him get the accolades,

628
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: to see him get the attention, even on this squad

629
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: right now.

630
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: So think hold it, let me just jump it. If

631
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: they do go aight and O, and there is a

632
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: legit possibility because they've got a hobbled Philly squad up

633
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 2: next through sitting out guys as well, a bunch of

634
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 2: guys out and then Dallas on Thursday, who knows, they

635
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 2: could probably be locked in seventh seed, probably don't play

636
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: other guys. Legitimately could go aight and oh. And the

637
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: and the eighth place team, the Memphis Grizzlies that they're trailing,

638
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: are currently one win. If they get, you know, get

639
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: to two and six, they probably the Suns probably don't

640
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Is that right? That they win the

641
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: last two and the Suns win one game.

642
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: The way I've broken down is, yeah, the Sons could

643
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: go eight and no, but they have to have the

644
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: Grizzlies and the Blazers who are ahead of them still

645
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: right now, Grizzlies and eighth Blazers half a game behind them,

646
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: and then the Suns and Spurs actually half a game

647
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: behind the Blazers. They need they need them to drop

648
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: a game.

649
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, one game, so.

650
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: At least at least one of them for sure. Yeah,

651
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: that's the thing. That's the thing.

652
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: It just would seem nuts that they invite a team

653
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: that goes eight to no and they don't make the playoffs.

654
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: It just seems like such a mistake to invite them

655
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: if they had the best performance they could have and

656
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: they still can't make the playoffs. It just seems kind.

657
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: Of it'd be like taking them out Cinderella and ending

658
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: it differently. And uh, I don't know the movie Cinderella

659
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: well enough to actually end a different Really, Trey helped

660
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: me out.

661
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: If you do, it's a happy one, you're not gonna

662
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: believe it, right, Yeah.

663
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: But that's my point. It would be like h it

664
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the Cinderella sons, It would be like a

665
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: weird version of Cinderella. So what would happen in the Okay,

666
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: what happens in the movie Cinderella again?

667
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: She loses her slipper, right, but then the Grand Duke

668
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: goes throughout the kingdom and eventually they try it on

669
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: the step sisters. It doesn't fit. Cinderella is like, oh,

670
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 4: let me try it on, perfect fit, right, but they

671
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 4: drop it.

672
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: It shatters.

673
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 4: Oh, her dreams also shattered until she reaches in her

674
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: pocket and pulls out the matching glass slipper, the only

675
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 4: other one in the world. And that's how they knew it.

676
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: Was true love serious that to it ends?

677
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean they go to the castle and

678
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: get married, and Cinderella is a beautiful queen for sure.

679
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: But it's like a foot locker ad. It's a little

680
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: bit like a foot locker.

681
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: Head task slips and he's like, have you tried the

682
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: heel lock?

683
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: It's a bit different in the Inglorious Bosta's when they

684
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: ca puts the shoe on the lady and then just

685
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: strangles her to death.

686
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Yept differ. Maybe that's what the Cinderella Sons. Yeah, we

687
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: got there. It took us a while, but we got there.

688
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

689
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: Remaining schedule for these teams, let's just throw it in

690
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: there to keep everybody up to speed. The Grizzlies have

691
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: the Celtics on Tuesday and then the Bucks on Thursday.

692
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: Blazers have the Mavericks on Tuesday, the Nets on Thursday.

693
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: Task said it. The Sixers have Philly who are going

694
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: to be missing and beating Richardson. I think Harrison Horford

695
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: are questionable too, or maybe they're even out now. They

696
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: have them on Tuesday, and then Dallas on Thursday. And

697
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: the Spurs, who are still alive. They're still in the mix. Here.

698
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: They have the Rockets on Tuesday and the Jazz on Thursday.

699
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: So I like. I like that they're all playing on

700
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: the same days here, Tuesdays and Thursdays. And I said

701
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: it last night, I wish they were playing each other

702
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: some of their shirts down the stretch. But what it is,

703
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: what it is, and we will see. Grizzlies and Blazers

704
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: really just got to win a game, and I think

705
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: they're in. I think it's as simple as that. But

706
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: good Win again from the Perfect Suns and my addiction

707
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm holding on to my one team, will go eight

708
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: node in the bubble. I'm down to the Phoenix suns.

709
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: Come on through you guys. All right, we're gonna get

710
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: to tonight's Jimmy versus TJ Battle and a little bit more.

711
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 1: But first a word from our sponsor.

712
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: Well, folks, have finally happened. I was out trying to

713
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: rip some lips and I fell on the lake. Pretty

714
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: embarrassing to be flailing in the lake as multiple families

715
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: walked on by. The only silver lining to any of

716
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 4: it is that I happen to be wearing my Manscape

717
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: Boxer briefs when it went down. Sure, I was nipples

718
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 4: deep in water, but thanks to their patented high performance

719
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: anti chaf technology, my fishing tackle felt safe and secure.

720
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: And guys, that's just the ends. Manscape does so much more.

721
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,680

Speaker 1: So you fell into the water because you had a

739
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: forty pounder on the end of your.

740
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: Line, right, Uh, yeah, that's a that's the definition of

741
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: a fishing story, right.

742
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: I had a huge let It pulled me in.

743
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: I didn't just slip in the mud and then take

744
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 4: a step and suddenly I'm worried that my phone is

745
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 4: gonna get soaked wet, and I gotta throw my AirPods

746
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 4: up on there.

747
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

748
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 4: Then a family of four walks and buying like you

749
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: doing okay down there, and I got I gotta play

750
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 4: a cool like yeah, I'm good, I'm good. I'm skin

751
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: up here right in the second. Luckily, there was a

752
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: dude like standing in the lake fly fishing. So maybe

753
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 4: these people thought I was doing this on so you

754
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 4: were going in Not quite the case, Not quite the case.

755
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 4: And I figured out that my upper body strength could

756
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 4: do with some strengthening.

757
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: It's very hard to.

758
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 4: Pull yourself up.

759
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: You've done too much yoga.

760
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 4: You're cooling your legs, right, I know somebody dropped the

761
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 4: link for a pull up routine or something.

762
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: Task.

763
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 4: Let me borrow your pull up bar. I gotta get

764
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 4: my shoulders right because you never know what's gonna happen

765
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: out there on the lake.

766
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah you had all that. I mean you obviously fell

767
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: in the water too, so your clothes are getting heavy,

768
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, it sounds I didn't realize you were that deep.

769
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: You went up to the nips.

770
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went nips deep. I didn't expect it either.

771
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: My shoes were like going down into the muck. I

772
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: was like, I'm gonna lose these shoes. I can pull

773
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 4: the ball my feet.

774
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm got cuts all up and down my legs.

775
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 4: Like Ila saw me.

776
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: She's like, Daddy, how did you get that wound.

777
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 4: On your leg? It's like, well, I fell in the lake.

778
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 4: Grown up to make mistakes too.

779
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 3: But she say, she said you fall down the stairs

780
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: like before, hasn't she?

781
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know it's different when you're bleeding. She's

782
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 4: used to her dumb old dad falling down the stairs.

783
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 4: That's old hat quite versaital the fall anywhere. I just

784
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 4: like a young Bill dance.

785
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 3: I know.

786
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: That's what I was just gonna say. It's like when

787
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: you told me you fell in the lake. I was like,

788
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: are you just trying to actually be Bill danced out

789
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: like that's what he would do. And I hope you

790
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: recorded it because I will laugh, but you didn't have

791
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: a camera.

792
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad you gotta you gotta borrow those Dion waiters

793
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 2: from Great and Guardian get out there and JD's workout routine,

794
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: because JD was the guy who said you gotta lift bro, Yeah,

795
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: gotta lift, gotta lift bro, JD.

796
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: Could you pull yourself out of the lake? No, you

797
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, jump right out, wouldn't you?

798
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 2: Well?

799
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, except I would be concerned about my crocks getting

800
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 5: lost in the uh in the muck.

801
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,919
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why you guys are falling in water, because

802
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: you're wearing slippery crocs on your feet. Your feet think

803
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: they're crocodiles of trying to get into the water.

804
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: I'm literally putting myself in Tray's shoes. I don't have crocks.

805
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 5: I don't wear crocs, but I guarantee you he was

806
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 5: wearing crocks.

807
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, you would think that they would

808
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 4: want to be in the mud, and trust me, they did.

809
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 4: They're like, this is my natural environment, trying to burrow

810
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: down deeper.

811
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: Tray, are these shoes going around online? These yeazy d

812
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: rows like collab shoes? Whatever the heck these are? These

813
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: are real ors as a joke? I asked today and

814
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: I still still don't know.

815
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 4: They're supposed to be real. There was like that other

816
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: shot of some model was wearing them. Uh so we'll

817
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 4: see if they come out. You're gonna get a pair.

818
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. I mean, how would you even describe

819
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: them to somebody? Like they're like they look like skeleton fish.

820
00:35:58,640 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, they look like fishbones.

821
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but are like crock material, Like they.

822
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 4: Look like a very soft, floppy material. I don't know

823
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: what it's made out of, very strange.

824
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: Lee.

825
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: Would you wear those if you got them sent you

826
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: for free? No? Freely wouldn't wear those?

827
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: No, you know, actually, actually the other day I saw someone.

828
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 3: I've seen this guy a few times. He runs in

829
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 3: those like glove shoes. Oh yeah, that to me does

830
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 3: not look at all comfortable to go running it.

831
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: People people that run in them, love them, live and

832
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: die by them. I'm not a fan. I once saw

833
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: a guy in toe socks at a cottage, and I

834
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: was pulsed to be quite little shoes.

835
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 3: I would think, if you're running, though, you need more

836
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: cushioning and more support, not you know, basically run bare feet.

837
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

838
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: There's a lot of research saying we got too much cushioning.

839
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: Well like try it way back. Yeah, exactly. That's a

840
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: fantastic book. You should read that.

841
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: I would never do that. Never do that.

842
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: What run barefoot?

843
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

844
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: That would hurt.

845
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 2: They run like the basically you know, like the super

846
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 2: crazy races like Paul Flannery does without without shoes. Oh yeah, no,

847
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: thank you, Like the uh you know, sort of like

848
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: the Spartan Race, you know, but actual like fifty k whatever.

849
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: Those marathons are hundred k.

850
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: There's lots of variations. But yeah, okay, I just figured

851
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: it out. The sun's going eight to no, but not

852
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: making it another play on play in tournament would be

853
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: like the movie Cinderella where he shows up but instead

854
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: of a glass slipper, it's one of these weird toad shoes.

855
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: Like She's like, it's definitely not mine. Okay, let's get

856
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: into the Jimmy versus TJ. Warren the rematch. We were

857
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: all pumped up for this one. Who do we call

858
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: to get our money back? It wasn't that great. It

859
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: was a bit of a disappointment. Of course. The last

860
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: time these two guys played, last time they met back

861
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: in January, they exchanged bumps and words and air kisses

862
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: and we got an injection and like sixty thousand dollars

863
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: worth of fines. There's a lot of chatterings like all right,

864
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great when they go out it. They're

865
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: supposed playing March, of course, and then here they are

866
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: in the bubble. But you know they kept their cool.

867
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: And you know, even Jimmy was playing on Warren a lot,

868
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: but the Piecers were not really going to him a lot.

869
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Task and you said it early. You think that was

870
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: by design. It sounds like you got the tinfoil on here.

871
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: A little conspiracy theory. The Piecers were saving something.

872
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: Nah, I'm making an excuse for TJ. Warren. I think

873
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: it was more like his performance against the Suns, his

874
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 2: old team, where he got shut down by mckel bridges.

875
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 2: It was sort of reminiscent of that. He just didn't

876
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: really he was he was hesitating, even when he got

877
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: the ball a few times up top, he passed away

878
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: from a three point shot. He just he wasn't in TJ.

879
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 2: Warren heat mode. He absolutely wasn't. And so you can

880
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: make you can try and really dig into that excuse

881
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: because or that that line of thinking that they're going

882
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 2: to be playing in the first round, so maybe he's

883
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: just not showing Jimmy all his cards.

884
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: Right, it'll buy it.

885
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: It's hard, it's really hard to buy that. But if

886
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: it happens on you know, Monday or Tuesday when they

887
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: start that series, if they do start that series, could

888
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 2: they could be lining up and he shows us. I just,

889
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: I just it isn't a coincidence to me that the

890
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: only two bad games that he's had in the bubble

891
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: are against his old team and against an old rival.

892
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: It just it seems sort of connected to me, like

893
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: there he just wasn't as free and easy as he

894
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 2: was in the rest of games.

895
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: No, But was he not free and easy because Jimmy

896
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: was on him. I guess it's maybe some of the

897
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: argument he was guarded on twenty five possessions Warren was

898
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: from Jimmy. TJ scored two points on him and only

899
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: shot three times. He was one of three during those trips.

900
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: That's the breakdown that I saw going around. What were

901
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: we gonna say Lee on this?

902
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: I thought he early on he forced I know he's

903
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 3: been scoring a lot in the first quarters, but he

904
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: took a couple of and just tried to get some

905
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: baskets and then he sort of that seemed to knock

906
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 3: his confidence for the rest of the game, whereas Jimmy

907
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 3: I thought got some bucket or got some got to

908
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 3: the free throw line early. He didn't shoot all that well.

909
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: But I thought Jimmy Butler, considering he had nineteen and eleven,

910
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 3: I thought he actually pretty much dominated this game because

911
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: he just kind of was like, I'm not going to

912
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 3: get into this like pissing contest with TJ. I'm just

913
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 3: going to take my team and lead them to the win.

914
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, there was no tension, there was no moments

915
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 3: between him and TJ and that, and that was Jimmy

916
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 3: I think again just saying you know what, like I'm

917
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 3: not even going to lower myself to this, because that's

918
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: what Jimmy was saying. He's not in my league and that. Yeah,

919
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: and so he didn't want to get into a in

920
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 3: twenty fights or anything like that with him. Instead put

921
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 3: it on the scoreboard. And really the Heat this was

922
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: maybe the best win of the of the bubble because

923
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: they dominated them early on and I didn't think the

924
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: Pacers really brought it today at all. Yeah, Batazi man,

925
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 3: he only played five minutes today. That was five too many.

926
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it's yeah. I mean Jay Crowder was good.

927
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: I thought for the Heat was they just seem to

928
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: be a much better team than Indiana today. Who Yeah,

929
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if maybe they tried to go to

930
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: TJ and TJ was trying to deflect or whatever, but

931
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 3: he didn't have it and the Pacers really struggled on

932
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: offense tonight.

933
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm worried about this matchup for the Pacers, tray a

934
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: four or five matchup. I actually I think the Heat

935
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: have their number if and I love what TJ. Warren's

936
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: done down here. I'm sure he's got a game or

937
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: two still left in him big game, you know, a

938
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: thirty plus maybe in them. But I just think the

939
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: Heat are much better defensively than the Pacers and are

940
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: a better shooting team in some of their guys from

941
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: outside in it, Duncan, Robinson and even Dragic I thought

942
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: looked pretty good tonight in coming back from injury. I

943
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: don't want to faith in the Pacers actually making this

944
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: a long series if it is a four or five matchup,

945
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: and the Heat owned tiebreakers over Indiana and Philadelphia, so

946
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: they're very likely going to be the fourth seed. Well,

947
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: what's your take on on the Jimmy TJ thing and

948
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: just this series if we do see.

949
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 4: It Jimmy versus TJ, you know, we're expecting a knockout

950
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 4: sort of fight and end up being a five round decision.

951
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 4: It was fine, you know. It was even the instagram

952
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 4: that Jimmy Butler posted afterwards of like him doing some dancing,

953
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 4: some jolly dancing along with mood was a little bit

954
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 4: underwhelming considering the previous iterations we had seen. But you know,

955
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 4: Jimmy outplayed him. TJ is had a bad game compared

956
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 4: to Jimmy Butler, and you know, Butler was coming back

957
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 4: off an injury too, so I would say I'll win

958
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 4: for Butler, but hopefully we see a little bit more

959
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 4: of it. I do think the Heat would have to

960
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 4: be favored over Indiana. We're you know, we're kind of

961
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 4: forgetting at this point with TJ. Warren, how well he's

962
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 4: been playing that Demona Sabonis is missing, right, they're missing it.

963
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 4: They're all star from this year. Victor Oladipo hasn't really

964
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 4: established himself so far in the bubble, and like you're saying,

965
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 4: there are a few guys on the Heat who can

966
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: get really really hot and when they're shooting, well, they're

967
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 4: a tough team to be because they're going to bring

968
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: it defensively on the other end as well.

969
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, still a win for the content creators though, because

970
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: I watched this game from start to finish, you know,

971
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: I was ready. I had my popcorn cited for the

972
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: TJ Versus Jimmy thought we'd get some fireworks. We obviously didn't.

973
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: And after the game ends, you know, I'm flipping through

974
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: on YouTube and I see House of Highlights TJ Warren

975
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: Versus Jimmy Butler rematch full dual highlights. What I just

976
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: watched this game? What the hell are they gonna I

977
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: had to click the video because I was like, I

978
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: was just curious, how are you gonna sell this? As

979
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, this is like must watch a clip here.

980
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: It was two minutes and twenty five seconds long. It

981
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: was pretty damn boring. It was. The first thirty seconds

982
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: were about the old you know, set up, the set up,

983
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: the actual fireworks when they went head to head, and

984
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: then it was a couple of highlights of Jimmy scoreing.

985
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: TJ had a couple buckets and that was it. It's like,

986
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: come on, come on, but you got me. They got

987
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: me to click. I was like, oh yeah, this is

988
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: gonna be good. Full dual highlights. Even though I just

989
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: watched the game, I still clicked it. That was disappointed.

990
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: There's a bit of our they're gonna play again, right

991
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: task these two teams. But will those both of those

992
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: guys be going in these games? Will things be decided

993
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: in this final game, especially if they are playing each other.

994
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: I would expect we're going to see some a lot

995
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: of rotation, guys in that final seating game between these

996
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: two teams.

997
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely on Friday these two teams meet up. It's

998
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 2: just the Heat defense is so good. You know, they

999
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: are a better defensive unit than the Pacers unit. And

1000
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 2: that's where the they're really close. I shouldn't say they're better.

1001
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 2: Currently the Pacers rank a little higher. But when you're

1002
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: playing such a good defense, when you're the Pacers offense,

1003
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: you just need some out of body experiences a little

1004
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: bit like Malcolm Brogden looks so ordinary going up against

1005
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: the big men inside of the Miami Heat. Oladivo ain't

1006
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 2: a star right now, so you needed a TJ. Warren

1007
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: little stardom. And yeah, so it's very worrying for the

1008
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 2: Pacers going up against this really, really solid team that

1009
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: looks like they are ready to play together.

1010
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: The final game we'll just touch on tonight. We're not

1011
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna get into the Raptors, you know. Beating the Bucks great,

1012
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: great win for the Raps. With some of their guys

1013
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: deep in their rotation having good games, we'll we'll get

1014
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: to one of them in WOA boy, but we're just

1015
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna skip that one, no, yore, Honest, it doesn't matter.

1016
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: The shorthanded MAVs, though, did have a huge rally to

1017
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: beat the Jazz one twenty two to one fourteen. Now,

1018
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: this one also missing a lot of people, so and

1019
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: this one was pretty ugly, but the MAVs came back

1020
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: from twenty two. The Jazz sort of gave away the game.

1021
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean they really were like, here you go, take it.

1022
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: And the only reason I bring it up for you

1023
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: guys and for everyone listening is there's a lot of

1024
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: still like things up in the air with the seeding

1025
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, and this MAVs win it keeps

1026
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: them in play for like, I think the fifth seed

1027
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: even still, but the sixth seed for sure. And that

1028
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: might mean I saw Hollinger point this out Luca and

1029
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: porzingis they could play minutes against the Blazers on Tuesday.

1030
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: They may want that game help their chances to get

1031
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: out of playing the Clipper is in a potential first

1032
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: round series, even though that one's not even locked up really,

1033
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: or maybe that is now that the Nuggets lost. Is

1034
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: that one locked up the Clippers in the number two seeds?

1035
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 3: Anyway, Yes, I believe that is right.

1036
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 1: Okay, So so it could so the MAVs could look

1037
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: at this game against the Blazers as well, let's get it.

1038
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,479
Speaker 1: Let's play our guys, and that would be big news

1039
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: for the Grizzlies and the Suns and the Spurs. But

1040
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: it is just it's a show in the Western Conference.

1041
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: Listen to this nonsense, guys. Okay, the Thunder one the Nuggets.

1042
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: The Nuggets are definitely not locked into the or the

1043
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 2: Clippers are definitely not locked into the two seats.

1044
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: Okay they're not.

1045
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: No, Well, what game in the hopop?

1046
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: The Thunder will finish fifth in the Western Conference. If

1047
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: Utah loses its final on Thursday against the Spurs, and

1048
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: the Mavericks lose one of their final two games against

1049
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: Portland on Wednesday or Phoenix on Thursday, the Jazz could

1050
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: still move up to fifth, but that would require them

1051
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: to beat the Spurs and have the Thunder will lose out.

1052
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,720
Speaker 1: Utah could also fall the seventh if Dallas beats Portland

1053
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and Phoenix on Thursday, and Utah loses to

1054
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 1: the Spurs, and within all of this, Houston could still

1055
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: move up. So the third I mean it is, there's

1056
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: really nothing decided in the Western confers. We do have

1057
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: a couple now in the East. As we were like

1058
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: figuring it out, and wrapping up last night show, it's like,

1059
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: we know it's the Bucks, Magic, we know it's the

1060
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: Raptors nets, and we will get to playoff preview podcasts

1061
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the week, but we're not

1062
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: going to know here until the final. I would expect

1063
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: a final night right where what matchups or at least

1064
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: maybe two or three of the matchups in the Western Conference.

1065
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jazz and the Thunder are both trying to

1066
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 3: avoid the Rockets. I think that's why the Thunder tanked

1067
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 3: it today, and then the Jazz saw the Thunder tanked

1068
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 3: and they said, we'll tank it ourselves.

1069
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: But again, it's so funny because the Rockets are not

1070
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 1: set where they are.

1071
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 3: No I know, but I think they're basing it on

1072
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 3: what they know today and they're like it all right,

1073
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 3: they saw what okay, so he did and they said,

1074
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 3: all right, we'll we'll we'll do one better than you

1075
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 3: are here. So yeah, I think I just think they

1076
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,479
Speaker 3: both want the Nuggets. If you're the Thunder and the Jazz,

1077
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: which is a bit of a surprise when you see,

1078
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: you know, when Jamal Murray's back in that team and

1079
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: the way the Nuggets have been playing, you know they're

1080
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 3: not exactly going to be a pushover for aud that

1081
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: realized tak right. And if the Rockets, you know, again

1082
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 3: without a big guy, and you look at the Thunder,

1083
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 3: if they have Steven Adams and the Jazz, if they

1084
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 3: have Rudy Gobert, you think there is some sort of

1085
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 3: advantage there for them over Houston. So interesting.

1086
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like when you play the Rockets,

1087
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: it's like, God, damn it, here we go.

1088
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 4: The Jazz do not want to ye Rockets in the playoffs,

1089
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 4: No way, no, And.

1090
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: It's just like you'd rather just play, like, Okay, Yokich

1091
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: is awesome, Jamal's back. They're gonna be a tough out,

1092
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 1: but at least we know what they are, and it's

1093
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, we can play game plan the Rockets you

1094
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,839
Speaker 1: also know they're gonna do, but it's like, not gonna

1095
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: be fun. They're rather gonna hit twenty five threes. Got

1096
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: these tiny guys boxing out giants like just gonna be

1097
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: exhausting more than anything. So I could see why the

1098
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 1: reasoning is like let's just avoid them, especially the Jazz,

1099
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: like you said, Trey, but we'll see. It's exciting that

1100
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: I guess we don't have anything decided. It makes our

1101
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: life a little bit more difficult when it comes to

1102
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: planning our schedule for the playoff previews. But we'll make

1103
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 1: them happen.

1104
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll make it happen.

1105
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: We'll definitely do it.

1106
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 4: And honestly, like I want to see the Clippers and

1107
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 4: the Jazz play. That's a much more competitive first round

1108
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 4: series than I think MAVs versus the Clippers would be.

1109
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 4: And you know, MAVs versus Nuggets would just be awesome.

1110
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 4: Yoki versus Doncic great times.

1111
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I actually haven't really

1112
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: put much thought into like who I want to see

1113
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: because it's like, well, as I just laid out there,

1114
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 1: I can't even keep track of it. Really, I don't

1115
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: even know what if I do, I don't even know

1116
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: what I just told all of you is. Actually that's

1117
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: the wild I was pretty confident with it, but there

1118
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: was a lot of info there, and it's like, yeah,

1119
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, I maybe screwed up something there. It's it's

1120
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: it's crazy.

1121
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: Tests, it's a lot of words. I saw that that

1122
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 2: little breakdown as well, and it's just it's it's a

1123
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 2: little too much to really wrap your head around at

1124
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 2: this point. But you know, we got a couple of days.

1125
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 2: There's no no worries. I don't think we should really

1126
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 2: talk about seating until until we get there. It's no

1127
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: big deal. It's it's the West is going to be good,

1128
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: the US is going to be very good.

1129
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: Like, who's all? You think all four series are going

1130
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: to be pretty pretty fun? Competitive? What do you wanna

1131
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: call them?

1132
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: No? I don't, but I think that I think the

1133
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 2: Jazz should be worried no matter who they play, and

1134
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 2: the eighth seed should be worried about the Lakers. But

1135
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 2: some I'm excited to see the Lakers play, the Clippers play,

1136
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 2: I'm now excited to see this Nuggets play with the

1137
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: new starting unit. Hey, this Rockets team is intriguing. Okay,

1138
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: soe he's intriguing. Dallas is intriguing. So yeah, I'm just

1139
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,760
Speaker 2: more worried about the Jazz And if it's a Blazer's

1140
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 2: team playing against this Lakers team, I'm tuning in. But

1141
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: I think, you know, some of us were a little

1142
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: higher than others, were riding that high a little earlier

1143
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: this week. But yeah, I don't. I don't think it's

1144
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 2: going to go it's going to be a long series

1145
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 2: no matter who the Lakers play six games.

1146
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: Still sticking to that prediction, Lakers are going to have

1147
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 1: to take six games to get out of the first round.

1148
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't care who they're playing. Literally literally littly honorable

1149
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: mentions to d Book Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis had a

1150
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 1: monster game here, but I'm giving it to Raptors big

1151
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: man Chris Bouche, massive dunk on a couple bucks. As

1152
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: I said right off the top of the show Lee

1153
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 1: last night, late last night, Remember I threw Austin Rivers

1154
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: an honorable mention, and I said, as we were like

1155
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: getting out of Boy, I said, I'm gonna see some

1156
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: weird will Boy winners the next couple of days here

1157
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: because of all these deep rotation guys get minutes and

1158
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity. Here's one of them, Bouche. This is a

1159
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: great line. Twenty five points, nine to fifteen, shooting four

1160
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: or five of the line, three threes, eleven boards, two assists,

1161
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: two steals, two blocks. Pretty damn good. That's like an

1162
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis line, right, Really, that's like basically exactly.

1163
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 2: What sort of career high right, Yeah, it's gotta be

1164
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: a career.

1165
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that for sure, but yeah, whoa Chris

1166
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: Bouchet and a huge dunk on top of that. Like

1167
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: I said, okay, Lee tweeted the night, my man.

1168
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 2: Tweet out the night. Wow.

1169
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I just mentioned off the top of the show,

1170
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 3: no Yankees gang today, but they're playing against the Braves

1171
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 3: tomorrow back at Yankee Stadium, so they we'll be on

1172
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: Judgy Watch now. Tweet of the night. So interesting as well.

1173
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 3: Earlier you asked about Paul Millsap's record against Lebron James

1174
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and he is zero and eight against

1175
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 3: Lebron James.

1176
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: And how's this for.

1177
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 3: Being rubbed in the salt? Being rubbed into the wound here?

1178
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 3: Because after the game, Tanya Gangooli tweeted that Frank Vogel

1179
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 3: said he stole that last play of the game which

1180
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 3: led to Kuzma's game winner from the Atlanta Hawks when

1181
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 3: Mike Budenhozle was their coach and used to run it

1182
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 3: for Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap. So Paul Millsap could

1183
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 3: never beat Lebron, but Frank Vogel is stealing plays to

1184
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 3: win games using a Paul millsap play, so there you go,

1185
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 3: tweeted the.

1186
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 1: Night it was a bad name for Kyle Korver too.

1187
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: Do you see him? I took an elbow to right

1188
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,360
Speaker 1: under the eye. It looked like he was in a

1189
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: fight with Jimmy Butler.

1190
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 3: Not going a few trays in, but yeah, he got.

1191
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: He was bleeding quite a bit. He's a bleeder. It

1192
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: was a fact. Yeah, yeah, for sure. All right, pick

1193
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: them results from Monday in the bubble. Okay see, Phoenix

1194
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: was our game. It was an earlier game. Phoenix was

1195
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: favored by four and a half and they dominated it. Now,

1196
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: okay see was missing a lot of guys tasks you had,

1197
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: okay see to maybe cover they got killed. So that's

1198
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: a loss for tasks. He goes to six and six

1199
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: here in the seating games. Trey got the win, League

1200
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: got the win. I got the win. Trey and Lee

1201
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: are six and six two, and I'm ahead of the

1202
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: pack right now. It's seven and five from one game up.

1203
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: Look at us, guys were like our very own version

1204
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: of a play in tournament. Here the megapol four of us.

1205
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: Who's who's s I guess I'm the Grizzlies, right now

1206
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: you guys are hot on my heels. What's what's our

1207
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: game tonight?

1208
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: Though, Tess, Wow, I'm not gonna get cute like I

1209
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 2: did with that. Okay, s pick like I'm Chris Paul Junior.

1210
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: Not gonna be cute, No, sir, I'm gonna keep this

1211
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 2: straight forward. There's only one line out because so many

1212
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 2: questionable injuries and people in and out of the line episode.

1213
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 2: It's a seven game schedule, but an important one for

1214
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies at home quote unquote at home to the

1215
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics and they're getting four and a half points.

1216
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: The Celtics have to win by five or more to

1217
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: cover against the Memphis Grizzlies.

1218
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, who's playing for Boston?

1219
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 3: Who Ever?

1220
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: They didn't look all that inspiring against the Magic that

1221
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: they pulled it out in.

1222
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 2: Over time, they've won three in a row. Yeah, more

1223
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 2: inspiring in the previous wins against the Raps was one

1224
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 2: of them.

1225
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: They are locked into the Celtics.

1226
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: They're locked in. I mean Kemba, Kemba, had they been

1227
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: you know, increasing his minutes. Do they just continue to

1228
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: do that or does he like or do they just

1229
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: give him a night off? Here I'll go the Grizzlies.

1230
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: I'll get it started. For a long time, I've been

1231
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 1: saying Memphis will be in this thing, so I think

1232
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: they sort of lock up a spot if they if

1233
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: they pull out the W and I don't even need

1234
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: the W. I get the point. So give me Grizzlies

1235
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: plus four and a half.

1236
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1237
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna go Grizzlies too, just because a

1238
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 4: lot of these teams that have been locked in have

1239
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 4: not been given that effort at all. So we'll see

1240
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,359
Speaker 4: who actually plays for the Celtics and we'll see how

1241
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 4: much they even play when the game starts. So yeah, Grizzlies.

1242
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. What are the Celtics gonna do?

1243
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 3: What are they gonna do? Are they gonna rest guys

1244
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 3: or not? I think they weren't.

1245
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 2: I'll take the Celtics, Okay, okay, Tess, Brad says no,

1246
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: he likes playing guys. I'll take the Celtics as well.

1247
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 2: For some reason, I believe in Brad wana Maker and

1248
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 2: Robert Williams mmy ogula. Why the heck not?

1249
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: That is the funny part about it. Like you see,

1250
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: like the starters are not playing, and you're like Well,

1251
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: that don't be a rap. That's not always the case

1252
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: because there's like a lot of these guys they might

1253
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 1: be somewhat talented, and they're obviously they're getting an opportunity

1254
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,720
Speaker 1: and they got their starters cheering them on, and it's like, yeah,

1255
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: trying to make it.

1256
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 3: Well, look at the clip is the clip is the

1257
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: other against the blazes. I mean they basically take this

1258
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 3: game from us, take it and and the clip is
