<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Hottest the Hottest India podcast out here.

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:08.920

<v Speaker 3>It's the heat Chat Chat Check on this episode of

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 3>the Heat Check that is t is heading into the

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 3>semifinals and there are a couple of teams who I

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 3>think is gonna use this as a launching pad, the

0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Pacers and the Pelicans.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>We must talk about them. And by the time you're.

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Listening to this, we also know who won the semifinal

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>nine two of the knockout round.

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>It is also something I need to talk about.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck are these new NBA coaches doing?

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 2>What the fuck are these new NBA coaches up to?

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>We also got a lot of news around from the

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 1>lead to get into, so let's get right into it.

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 1>William I got a migraine drop that motherfucker beat that

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 1>should be Rihanna.

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's be honest. I like the end sing in Tournament

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been on record, I've been talking about it on Twitter.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I just want more games and I love it, but

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I am fired up about the fucking Really the Indiana

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Pacers the most. I like the Pelicans too, but these

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>two teams have a chance to really be special, and

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I think The thing that's very intriguing to me, The

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>thing that we have to discuss is like this new

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>tournament has illuminated what these teams are, what these teams

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>can be when the competitive lights and the juices get

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>brighter and hotter. I don't know how the juices get hotter, Pauls,

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>but Tyrese Haliburton Volks has turned into an absolute superstar

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>in front.

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Of our very eyes.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>In front of our very eyes, he was birthed his

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>second nationally televised game ever, his first TNT game ever.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>The man in an elimination game where very many good

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>players fail, Like a lot of good players that we like,

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>they shrink under that type of pressure, under that type

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>of spotlight.

0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Against the number one team.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>In basket would have been no shame if Tyrese Haliburton

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>had an off night. But no, tyler Rese Halliburton against

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the Boston Celtics in an elimination game in front of everyone.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Because we know that Monday night football game was trash.

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Well actually it was okay, but we thought it was

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be trash. Tyler Reeve Halliburton achieved his very first

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>triple double, took those motherfuckers to the woodshed.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 2>By ten fucking points the Celtics. Tatum and Brown must

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>have had a bad game.

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>No, no, sir, they did not. So that I expedited

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>what we already knew. Tyrese Halliburton probably a top ten

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>player in the NBA. And that says nothing about Daron Fox,

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.519
<v Speaker 1>who's also top ten player in the NBA. Got a

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of leave leave people off the top ten, I know,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I like to say top ten a lot. I don't

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>know if Titum is a top ten player in the

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>NBA's there's like a little hot take there. Without the

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>elimination game, we'd have no idea knowing what Halle was.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>You got gms and coaches and evaluators now really able

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to fully evaluate what somebody is. Tyre's Halliburton is that dude.

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Tyre's Halliburton is the guy that you build your entire

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>franchise around.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>For the rest of his fucking life. He is going

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 2>to be yellow and blue.

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>He's going to be in Indiana in the mix for

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a long ass time. This is why the n season

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Tournament is important. It helps decision makers understand what they

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>actually have. You put the clay into the fire and

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>what do you get out, do you get pottery back

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>or do you get melted shit? You can get the

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>recap of the game somewhere else, but I do have

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a couple of points that I do want to make.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>The n Season tournament is awesome. It's lit. The competitive

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>intensity is exactly the same as a playoff game. All

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>four teams you could tell they wanted to win. They're screaming,

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>their fist pumping, they're gritting their teeth, they're giving you

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>their Kobe Look, the crowd's going crazy.

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>There's also, by the way, a Tiffany designed trophy for

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>the championship game, for the MVP, for the All.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Tournament team and the winners medals. Goddamnit, people, they look good. Comparison,

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the ist trophy makes Hilario O'Brien look like a lava lamp.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>It really just does. Is it is so swaggy.

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>They said we didn't We're gonna like show these motherfuckers

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>was up. Maybe though, it's also the money that we

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>poo pooed, because there's a lot of young players that

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>need it, that are below the average and maybe a

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit more than.

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 2>We realize when it got announced. More on that than

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 2>just a second.

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>So okay, So the Pacers, it's not really a recap,

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's kind of like the Pacers go back and forth,

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>right and in this game is tight and it's competitive

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>until you look up and the Pacers are up ten.

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>They shorten their rotation by.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Running only nine guys out instead of playing like thirteen

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>fourteen like they usually do. They use balance scoring to

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>smother the Celtics, who would be fair like played without

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Christas Porzingis. But also we know Christas Porzingis. That's a feature,

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>not a bug. That's what he is.

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>He's injury prone. We don't know when he's coming back.

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Is he gonna be back by the finals?

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. We'll see calf calf strain. Dude, you

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>should be back by now. They had seven guys with

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.479
<v Speaker 1>twelve or more points. Imagine Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown went

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 1>off for thirty two to twelve and thirty to nine

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and they still lost by ten. That is how dangerous

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this Pacers team is. And when Aaron Nesmith laid down

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a late windmill, folks, folks, the entire Pacers bench went

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>fucking wild. As we said before the tournament started, there's

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of players in the league who make

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>under the league average, and half a million to them

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>or even one hundred thousand just for making the Semis

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of money. Get to go to Vegas,

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>get one hundred k? What's wrong with that? What can

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:34.919
<v Speaker 1>this Pacers team be?

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Legitimately?

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I think they're an Eastern Conference semifinals team if they're lucky.

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that they've got got enough to compete night

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>tonight with anyone, even if their defense sometimes looks leaky,

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>like my Fawcett pass that sounds really bad.

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>They're the Kings in the Thunder of the East.

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Folks, Watch the fuck out Milwaukee, Watch out Boston, Watch

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>out Miami.

0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>The second team that.

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to highlight is New Ons Pelicans, who took

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Sacramento Kings in a battle between two teams

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that I see making the Western Conference Finals that they could. Obviously,

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Timberwolves are there as well. Predictably, it was

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>a slugfest. Valancunas versus Domanas Sabonis, Dearon Fox versus c J.

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Zion versus Keegan Murray b I versus Barnes. Woh womh

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.320
<v Speaker 1>womh woh for Barnes. Barnes did not look good. B

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I went off for thirty, Barnes went off for four.

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Isn't really going off as it? And Boyle boy was

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>he getting roasted after the game too. There may be

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a Harrison Barnes problem.

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna lie to you. After the game, Mike

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Brown was complaining.

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>He was lamenting about how the Kings are not running

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 1>as much as they did last year because now their

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>wings stand around clapping their hands to get the ball

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>instead of just, I don't know, sprending up the floor

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 1>to get open for a corner.

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Three. Who's that? Who do you think he's talking about there?

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Harrison Barnes is who? Sir Harrison.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you should be clapping your hands for

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball, and sometimes I don't even think you should

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>be standing.

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 2>In the corner either. I don't really know what your

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>role is right now.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>The Pelicans used a very hot stretch in the second

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 1>quarter to take a.

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Lead, and they never gave it up. In a game

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 2>where the Kings held.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Zion to just ten points, you had the hot hand

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of Trey Murphy back, Jose Alvarado back keeping the Pels

0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in command.

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Herb Jones had twenty three, not even a.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Steal sad, very dangerous team and they will make a

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>very very fun final four squad for the IST.

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Another very deep, very athletic team that could be a

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 2>spoiler team at worst and a real threat to some

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>contenders at best.

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>So watch out for the Pels and the Pacers coming

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>out of the n Season Tournament, because we all know

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>this from college.

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Baby teams that learn how to win early, win a.

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Holiday tournament, they get dangerous in March, and I think

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>these two teams will springboard off their success in the

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Ncason Tournament and maybe come out as hard rocks in May.

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>H
