Speaker 1: grass in our backyard, your cat, Mary cat. Yeah, there's

40
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: a lot of animals here in the South. I don't

41
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: want our cat to be outside. I was trying to

42
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: retrieve our cat. There's been snake. You see those snakes

43
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: in Piedmont Park. Those are monstrous snakes.

44
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: Snakes in Georgia. Body.

45
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a snake eating a squirrel in my neighborhood.

46
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: So we don't let our cat out. Okay, there's yoats

47
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: out there. So anyway, as I was chasing down this cato,

48
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: yeah there's little coyotes. There's boxes out there. Anyways, I

49
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: was trying to grab this cat and we got downhill.

50
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: I took a little stumble on my face. Eight grass Yeah, yeah, okay, well,

51
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: all good, all right. I wish I was Trey Kirby

52
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: because I did, because he's shown his pipes right. Yeah,

53
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: when I grabbed that cat, I wish I just picked

54
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: that cat up. But anyways, that's it.

55
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: I thought maybe Kirby punched it.

56
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: I would have just let my cat go outside.

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll come back sometimes.

58
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: You do have that wood area you do?

59
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: All right.

60
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: Before we get into today's Nodunk's pod, I want to

61
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: encourage you to go check out the squad pod that

62
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,919

63
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: our old friend Mattio jumping on with us to try

64
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 4: and draft the perfect house.

65
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: In our five categories were house style that we.

00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: Learned, a lot, appliances, bonus room, backyard, features, location. We

67
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 4: had a blast doing this one, yelling at each other

68
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 4: continually saying there was a lot things.

69
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: Left on the board.

70
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 4: I would say, right now, just from a quick look

71
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: at the YouTube comments, I felt like it was between

72
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: Trey and tasks. A lot of people thinking had the

73
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 4: best house have drafted the best house so go and

74
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: check it out if you have it, and see if

75
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 4: you agree with the majority of people out there.

76
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: But it was a lot of fun.

77
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: Have a mad elin.

78
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: Something still left on the board is yoats as a

79
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: backyard feature. Nobody went with yoats.

80
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Due there's yoats out there.

81
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: I believe I've seen some notes in our back.

82
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I will share the video of a

83
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: snake eating a squirrel. I took it.

84
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: I love it. That's amazing. It was an amazing thing. Good.

85
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: How did you get that on atl scoop?

86
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Good video?

00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: They would share that at all?

88
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good call.

89
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

90
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: So here's what we're doing.

91
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: We are probably the last ones left standing to actually

92
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: talk about the twenty twenty four twenty five NBA schedule release.

93
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: It came out last week. I know you guys, I

94
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: think did slip it in a little bit in some

95
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: of those Olympic shows when we were getting like bits

96
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 4: and pieces of it. But we have finally had the

97
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: chance to just sit down and read the whole thing

98
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: every single game. He took a couple months, and I

99
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: gave him a couple of months. I took a couple months.

100
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: We know the whole damn schedule. Let's talk about it.

101
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 4: I got a lot of questions here for you guys

102
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: and everybody playing along as well, joining us live about

103
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: opening week, about the holiday showdowns, about other marquee games.

104
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 4: But let's start with a super fun one. Teams around

105
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: the NBA had really creative ways of announcing that the

106
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: schedule was here right in, sometimes telling you the schedule

107
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 4: in social media, otherwise leading you to a link on

108
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 4: their website. We had the Knicks doing like alumni.

109
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: Row with yep.

110
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 4: John Starks and co Tony Allen provided commentary for the Grizzlies.

111
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 4: Phoenix tested its opponent's capabilities of withstanding the sun the

112
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: creative way. So I just want to know, of all

113
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: of them, did you have a favorite of the social

114
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: media sort of schedule releases TK you get a started here.

115
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: I can't believe how much I liked watching these.

116
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good.

117
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: I want most, literally every single one.

118
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: So this is not a homer pick, but I'm going

119
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: with the Hawks, And maybe it is a little bit

120
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: of a homer pick because this is very much Atlanta centric.

121
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: You're going through a bunch of Atlanta landmarks, You're seeing

122
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of local, famous Atlantans like Killer Mike and

123
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: Ti and Jermaine Dupree Blondie from the Claremont Lounge. I'm

124
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: pretty sure this is the only one that had a

125
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: strip club in their video. But my favorite part, no doubt,

126
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: was when they showed a basketball bouncing on a pole

127
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: like by State far Marina. I was like, well, that's

128
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 2: true to Atlanta. The only thing they could have elevated

129
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: it more is if they put a gigantic slab of

130
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: metal over the top of it, but I guess maybe

131
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: that's for next season. I was having a hard time

132
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: figuring out why this had French music Zach recis j

133
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: f Wow. I was like, why would they not picking

134
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: Atlanta rap song? Yeah, that didn't make any sense to me.

135
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: But then I remember they have a Frenchman starting for

136
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: the now as a number one pick, so yeah, I

137
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: love this. It was, you know, just playing the hits

138
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: of things in Atlanta that are cool, the Rainbow crosswalk

139
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 2: at Tenth Street, the Croc Street Tunnel, great stuff. So yeah,

140
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: Homer pick because this is our home. But I thought

141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: it was great and if you're from Atlanta, you love it.

142
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: And I know there are some other local ones too,

143
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: like Detroit had a very local centric one as well,

144
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: so I assume that hits for Detroit fans. Yeah, in

145
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: the same way.

146
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: I like this one as well. It was one of

147
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: my favorite ones for sure of all thirty. Yeah, but

148
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: what about you.

149
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think it was just because I'm a local.

150
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: I think it was just good because it showed all

151
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: those famous people also that that we all know.

152
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had Bob.

153
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Wrath been hanging out people just saying basketball, Oh, there's

154
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: a basketball basketball rolling.

155
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: It was fun. Yeah.

156
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: It was just fun and the pothole was perfect.

157
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: Good.

158
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

159
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: I had to recently get my tires changed.

160
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Classic on the tracks totally.

161
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 4: I didn't had the tracks that long, and they were like, no, oh,

162
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: your tires they're they're gone.

163
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: I'm like what, yeah, I know, I know. There was

164
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: two reasons.

165
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: She said, those are factory issued tires, like they put

166
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 4: on for tires apparently on your like vehicle.

167
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

168
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: I was like okay, and then she's like, and you

00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 4: live in Atlanta. Yeah, I mean if the roads are brutal.

170
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: Bad for tires.

171
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: Wow.

172
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

173
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Twenty five was low though Field totally. I got mind

174
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: changes too. They're forty thousand miles, and I thought, okay,

175
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: that's even that's not enough.

176
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, you.

177
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Know, sixty thousand kilometers. I would want to get one

178
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand kilometers if I was out there forty thousand.

179
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: They said, nah, you just got to get better tires.

180
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: Like what what's wrong with these tires? Look, I'm so

181
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: confused with you, But what are you going to do?

182
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: They tell you your tires suck, and I'll tell you what

183
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 4: I I was like, no, I got to see them.

184
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she.

185
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Let me checking the tread tests, like all right, exactly.

186
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: She takes me over and I'm like, but I'm pretending

187
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: I know what.

188
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: The hell I'm looking at.

189
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, these are pretty bad.

190
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're got to do the penny test. That's what, right, Yeah,

191
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: you turn the penny over so that the head is

192
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: in the tread and if you can see the head,

193
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: then oh whoa, whoa, whoa. You gotta change those tires.

194
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: They had the things got to be hidden in there.

195
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, yeah, sure.

196
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: Change it one tire, change it all four.

197
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Would change all four?

198
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah we do?

199
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, what about you task? What about another

200
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: favorite social media schedule reveal?

201
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Oh this was a real social media like a TikTok

202
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: almost type of video by the Timberwolves, which I thought

203
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: was really good because they just slapped together a bunch

204
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: of videos to represent their schedule change. It was like

205
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: a TikTok social video. It started with UIs gymnast Sunny Lee,

206
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: who is mouthing the words, okay, guys, we're back, but

207
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: it's Kim Kardashian saying it, Okay, guys, we're back. What

208
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: is happening here? First off? And then just different social

209
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: media videos representing each team, like the Sacramento Kings. You

210
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: got a kid breaking a lamp with a pillow. What

211
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: they just it was just it was just like you're

212
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: watching social media and watching the best video, so you

213
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: get them all in one. Then you had DJ Kalin

214
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: diving in the water for the Miami Heat. It wasn't

215
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: very an elegant dive. No, that wasn't beautiful. You know,

216
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: a horse with wobbly legs for the Mavericks, Anthony Edwards

217
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: doing the DX crotch chop. Oh yeah, they included that.

218
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: They got no problem including that for the seventy six

219
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: ers because Joelan Beid loves doing the crotch Chop. There

220
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: was a bring you ass for the Nuggets. They didn't

221
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: do all thirty teams, which was pretty funny.

222
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of these didn't include the entire schedule,

223
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: which makes sense.

224
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: It can't be like ten minutes ten minutes, but I

225
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,239
Speaker 3: didn't find that funny.

226
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: Which games they picked highway and then they're like, hey,

227
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: go to and see all the games.

228
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was the end. Was Shannon Sharp sitting

229
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: with like ten logos of NBA teams and food. So

230
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons represented I'm just making this up, but

231
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: as like Collared Greens or something. He's like, these are

232
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: the Collared Greens. So it was a random video, it's

233
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: for sure. But it also included Anthony Edwards dunk on

234
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: Jason on John Collins. That was I just forgot about

235
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: that dunk from last year against Utah and lining up

236
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: the Utah games like that was a dunk. But the

237
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I think all of it put together is just the

238
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: NBA is buying into Anthony Edwards and Minnesota temper rules.

239
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: They are getting a ton of national games. This your

240
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: biggest jump from five to eighteen. So a lot of

241
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: teams buying army, a lot of the NBA front office

242
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: smartly buying into the Minnesota rles. So that's that's exciting

243
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: for me too.

244
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: That was a good one.

245
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: What about you, JD. Did you watch any of these?

246
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: Did you pick one?

247
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: I watched them all.

248
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 3: I watched them all.

249
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 5: An honorable mention to Brooklyn Nets. I love a Streeter.

250
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: I love those. They make me laugh every time. Yeah,

251
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 5: and it's just people saying the wrong thing, which always

252
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 5: makes me laugh. And they, you know, would take whatever

253
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 5: their wrong answer was. They were so the streeters were.

254
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: They would show them people like Coney Island a logo

255
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 5: of a team logo and.

256
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: They had to guess.

257
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 5: And these people obviously had no idea about the NBA,

258
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: so uh, and then they would say the wrong name

259
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 5: and then they're you know, they're somebody said the shoes

260
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: for the bulls, so you know, they're facing the shoes

261
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: on this day. It was pretty cute, but they kind

262
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 5: of phoned in the edit, so I'm not I can't

263
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: give it to them, Like the same music for everyone

264
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 5: they actually did all thirty I think, yeah, I think exactly,

265
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 5: And it was the same music and it was just like.

266
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: It's also, I mean, was it was it? I want

267
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: to say it was the Tennessee Titans that maybe first

268
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: did it in the NFL.

269
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: Team did it last year?

270
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: Oh did they?

271
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said it. We did it again. These are

272
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: again real.

273
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's some of the answers are still so funny.

274
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny.

275
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 4: But I didn't make it my pick only because yeah,

276
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: I know the NFL did it first, and then yeah,

277
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 4: I guess they've done it a couple of times.

278
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: Okay, And that that on top of the fact that

279
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 5: they called they just phoned in the edit. So sorry, Brooklyn,

280
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 5: not you. I'm going bucks. I love an homage they did.

281
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: They did the n homage to the Napoleon Dynamite opening credits.

282
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 5: So it's an overhead shot of just different food being

283
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 5: placed on, you know, on a play setting, and they

284
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 5: and the food matched up with the team. So Boston

285
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 5: was like a lobster roll. New York was Pete's La

286
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 5: had sushi. They didn't do all the teams either, but

287
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 5: it was short and sweet and and the music was

288
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 5: per effect. It was great. Only note it's it took

289
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 5: forever to get going. They had they lit they poured

290
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 5: a glass of champagne and they lit a candle. It's

291
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: like thirteen seconds before the thing started.

292
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: Come on, Bucks, let's go. This is social media. Come on.

293
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, I loved it.

294
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: You gotta stop the scroll. I thought the Bucks one

295
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: was really interesting because it had one of the most

296
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: delicious looking foods, because there's a few of them that

297
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: like had foods. I thought the lobster roll looked all good.

298
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: But then whatever they had for the timber Wolves, it

299
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: was like a tater top cast yeah or something, probably

300
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 2: the most disgusting food and they like.

301
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: On it.

302
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: It looks bad from the start they PLoP it on.

303
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: It looks worse, but good. Wes Anderson vibes for sure.

304
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: There.

305
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not Wes Anderson.

306
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 5: That's the point, right, because Wes Anderson, that whole thing,

307
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 5: we did it. We took part in that whole trend.

308
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 5: Napoleon Dynamite, Let's get some love over there.

309
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: That's not a West it was, that's true, true movie.

310
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 5: But it has a definite vibe. The weirdest thing about

311
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 5: it is that Napoleon Dynamite takes place Idaho, which I

312
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 5: guess maybe Wisconsin vibes. Maybe I don't know, but ye, sure,

313
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 5: So whatever, it was fine, like.

314
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: It was stylized cool.

315
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: A lot of these were good, Like we said, I'm

316
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 4: gonna sort of swerve with my pick though, because I

317
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: thought it was like the most unique of all these

318
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: schedule releases because it was the Rockets having this guy

319
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: that I guess they just call QR Guy or q

320
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: Rockets guy with the QR code box head that says

321
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 4: like free tickets and like if you got to scan them,

322
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 4: and he's just running around Houston with people trying to

323
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: like scan his face and try and keep them still

324
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: enough to do it, and he's like spinning his head

325
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 4: around and stuff.

326
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: It just made me laugh. I was like, legit laughing

327
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: at this.

328
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: And apparently nobody scanned it because they said the free

329
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: tickets which you would get if you scanned, were still available.

330
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: All right.

331
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: I did go and check, though they're all gone now

332
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 4: I get the free tickets I think were for preseason games,

333
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 4: like they just.

334
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: Like to fill out the arena.

335
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: But it was great.

336
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 4: It just it felt like a dick still too, Like

337
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: I didn't feel like these people were actors trying to

338
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: chase him down. Maybe they were, but they were really

339
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 4: good at it if they If they were, so that

340
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: one was different because It wasn't like showing you, oh,

341
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: we play the Lakers here, we play the Wolves here.

342
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: It was just a guy running around and that looks

343
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 4: really fun. I want that job next year. If they

344
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: do that again, get me, you'd be great at that.

345
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: Hawks guy, QR Hawks guy.

346
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: I already have the power raser met one.

347
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, we should honestly do it and like run

348
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: through Piedmont Park and it's a QR code that says

349
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: subscribed to no doubt.

350
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah.

351
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: Funny if people are chasing his down. Also funny if

352
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: people are like, just what, I like that idea.

353
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: Okay, let's get into the actual schedule here a little bit.

354
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: The seventy ninth NBA regular season. It's gonna tip off

355
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: on Tuesday, October twenty second. That's two months from now.

356
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: Holy moly, that's crazy. First five days of the regular

357
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: season feature eleven national television games, got two double headers

358
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: each on TNT and ESPN, and then a triple header

359
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: on NBA TV. I liked whoever was in charge of

360
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: making these graphics, We're like, God, damn, how are we

361
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 4: going to do this? At the three at the bottom

362
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: here they start a jam all lot. But yeah, there's

363
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: a quick look. Everyone on YouTube is seeing this. I

364
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: got to go through every single game here for the

365
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 4: podcast listener, you can check it out. But task we'll

366
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 4: start with you, what is the most intriguing Opening week game,

367
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: either from one of these nationally televised games or maybe

368
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 4: you're going somewhere else.

369
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta say the NBA did really good with

370
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: these eleven games, because usually Opening Night there's one game

371
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a Jared Dudley, you know, there's

372
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: one that's like you're kind of pushing that one. But

373
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: take a look at Nicks Celtics. Knicks want to be

374
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: the number one team. You've got Jason Tatum and Jalen

375
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Brown got things to prove after Tatum not playing in

376
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: the Olympics, and Jalen Brown I'm not being invited. And

377
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: then you've got Anthony Edwards who's going to drop a

378
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: lot of points against the Los Angeles and it keeps

379
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: coming with the Milwaukee Bucks against Philadelphia Semitexers. Bucks have

380
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: a tough schedule to start this season. We'll get to

381
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: a little bit later. But I mean, you said you

382
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't go through all of them. I can't help but look,

383
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: at all of them, and I was trying to find

384
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: the dud. Where is the dud? There isn't one. Sun

385
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Clippers is great for the into a Dome to open

386
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: that baby up, and the Suns have an important schedule

387
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: to start this season. I think. Then you got Spurs mevs.

388
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's Wemby time against this mevs. Team that

389
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: just went to the finals. Then okay, see Denver, that

390
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: should be fun. Indie Nicks that was a playoff performance.

391
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: That matchup again, Suns, Lakers, and even the NBA TV.

392
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: You get Clippers Nuggets. The Clippers is great because they

393
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: don't have to play any more afternoon games in the

394
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: into It Dome. They're excited about that because they got

395
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: they got kind of pooched last year. They had to

396
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: play so many being buddies with the Lakers. There are

397
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: five and five in those afternoon games. Then they kind

398
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: of get one being in Denver that's a three pm

399
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: local start. That's not good. They're not gonna be happy

400
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: about that, but anyway, then you get Magic Grizz finally

401
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: those teams, and then Kings Lakers. I think the opening

402
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: week for the national TV is is pretty nice. It's

403
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: pretty solid.

404
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: I guess your only complaint could be maybe, uh, too

405
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 4: many Lakers games?

406
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: That would that what is you list three there? Yeah?

407
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: That is three? It is it is, it's it's a

408
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: bit of yeah, that's that's the one where you say, well,

409
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: the Lakers are just a play in tournament team. They

410
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: did have two guys that just played at the Olympics

411
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: were part of the US Top twelve. And I do

412
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: think the Dalton connect the this here with Jared Vanderbilt

413
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: being healthy, there's gonna be guys that are healthy. They're

414
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: going to be a good team.

415
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: Well, is Brownie gonna play with with dad in one

416
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 4: of the I don't think really, see I do too.

417
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, opening week, get it.

418
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: Over with, Yeah, because you want to, you want to

419
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: answer questions about it until it happens.

420
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: I think JJ rabbit right away. I don't think it'll

421
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: be good so they I don't think J. J. Reddick

422
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: will say, hey, we're going to just put this kid

423
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: out there. I think it will happen Game one, no way, Wow,

424
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: no way?

425
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 3: Game one against the Wolves, eh okay, Well, I'm with you.

426
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: One that will happen earlier rather than later to sort

427
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 4: of like squash the story and get the moment and

428
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: then we move pull the.

429
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: Band aid off and that that's going to be bleeding now.

430
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm just it's unlikely that it's going to be great.

431
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: And they're gonna put on a national TV. I think

432
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: that'll make for bad headlines. I don't think Reddick doesn't.

433
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see.

434
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 4: Do you have a game that intrigues the most of

435
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 4: that bunch, which are a.

436
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: Lot of good games.

437
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: I think all the duds are the Clipper games. No interest.

438
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: I want to see the dome, I want to see

439
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 2: the wall, and I want to see the team in

440
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Let's see who's healthy. Not an exciting team

441
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: to watch to me this year, and it's getting tough

442
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: to see that logo, like if it's throwing me off

443
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: right now. I saw in the Nets video they called

444
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: it Titanic. Yeah, kind of what it feels like it

445
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: sometimes the game I'm most excited for Bucks Sixers on Wednesday,

446
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 2: Jannis versus Embiid obviously Paul George's first game with the

447
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: Sixers as well. Tyres Maxie, I don't know if you've

448
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 2: seen this guy this summer. He looks Hugh Monkeys, he

449
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: looks like Jannis Antetokopo at six foot four or whatever

450
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: he is, he is jacked right now. You got Doc

451
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 2: Rivers going back to Philadelphia as well. These are two

452
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: of the better teams in the league. It feels like

453
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: they are maybe jockeying for third in the Eastern Conference.

454
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 2: We'll see what the Bucks are actually like this year,

455
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty excited for that one. But I think

456
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: this is a pretty solid schedule. Yeah, lots to watch.

457
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, let's just spin it right into like

458
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 4: revenge games or reunions or you know, someone going back

459
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 4: to battle their old team. TK will start with you,

460
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 4: what reunion of you know, the many out there really

461
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: are you most excited for.

462
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: I mean, there's only one reunion to really be excited about,

463
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: and it's Clay Thompson going back to play the Warriors

464
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: November twelfth, the opening night of the NBA Cup. Will

465
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: be great to see Klay Thompson playing on whatever kind

466
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: of floor they come up with for this season. That's

467
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: the only reunion I'm really excited for. Like Paul George

468
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 2: going back to the Clippers. Do you think if Paul

469
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: George is a Clipper at the end of his career,

470
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: he'll probably be a pacer for me, so that'll be interesting.

471
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: With the way things ended, it seemed like he was

472
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: going back he didn't. But I think the Klay stuff

473
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: is a lot more interesting that being said, the like

474
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: the the revenge game aspect, I think it's Golden State

475
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: going to Boston November sixth, because Celtics fans hate Steve

476
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: Kerr right now. Oh yeah, hey, despise this guy. Also,

477
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: Steph Curry had his best Finals game ever in Boston Garden,

478
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: so I think that one should be hot. A couple

479
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: of exciting Warriors games.

480
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 3: November six within the first three weeks of the season,

481
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 3: that's good.

482
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree that the only reunion really is Clay

483
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: playing against Golden State November twelve. Early. It's pretty early,

484
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: and it is a group game of the tournament and

485
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: how much will that building Absolutely just give that guy

486
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: a standing ovation. There's not going to be any hate,

487
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: but I will be interested to see who guards Clay

488
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: and this is it a Wiggins, is it a Kuminga

489
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: or is it a buddy heel to Clay will go

490
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: at over and over and over again. It'll be fun

491
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to get He is going

492
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: to get lots of love from the Warriors guys in general.

493
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: Draymond said on a podcast of the Club five to

494
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 1: two to oh podcasts recently that he hasn't been putting

495
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Clay's departure into his mind. He hasn't even thought. He

496
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: doesn't want to think about it. Not to quote Dre

497
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: all the time, because I don't want to quote him

498
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: all the time, But in this one, it was like,

499
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: we are going to love this guy when he comes back,

500
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: and he's going to be happy to get shot after

501
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: shot after shot up. So I think he's gonna have

502
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: some good opportunities to score a lot in that game.

503
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

504
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 4: I mean it would be a great game for like

505
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 4: him and Curry to like battle it out from three

506
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 4: point land.

507
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: That would be just like amazing if they're both like

508
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 3: on that night, you know, hitting ten plus threes.

509
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: It just keeps going back and forth. I feel like

510
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: Klay's got to go for forty or over fifty. Yes, Yes, yes,

511
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 2: he's going to try, Yes, get shots out, no doubt

512
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: about it.

513
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: I also think.

514
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 4: Paul George will approach that game against the Clippers with

515
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 4: that like revenge fu factor, which is why I'll go

516
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: with that one. To Clazy the obvious pick returning to

517
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: the bait, no doubt, but like he was annoyed with

518
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 4: the Clippers and their reluctancy to give him sort of

519
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: that same three year, one hundred and fifty million dollar

520
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 4: extension that they gave to Kawhi, and then by the

521
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 4: time they were you know, talking again, he was like,

522
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: price gone up.

523
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: You know, I'm piss he didn't give it to me

524
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: the first time.

525
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: So I think like he's going to approach that game

526
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 4: in the New Arena like, I think it's going to

527
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: be fun.

528
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: I'm with you TK outside of the Dome.

529
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 4: I'm not high on the Clippers, like you know, them

530
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: being one of the best teams in the Western Conference

531
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 4: this year.

532
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: Excited to see the place.

533
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: But I think him, you know, I do think PG

534
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 4: is going to try and send a message in that game,

535
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 4: so that could be fun to watch.

536
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: Kawi is going to be good. I know everybody's gonna

537
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: say Kwai is going to get injured, which could happen, Yeah,

538
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: very well, could happen. But Kawi Scott a revenge factor

539
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: against the USA team for sending him home. He wants

540
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: to play every game. I just do. I want to

541
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: see the Clippers and see them decent this year, but

542
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: well they make the playoffs healthy.

543
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, the West is stacked. Man, you can have

544
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 4: a good record and still be out of the plan. Okay,

545
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 4: let's look at, you know, strength of schedule here. Who

546
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: do you think has the hardest? Just call it first

547
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: ten game stretch for a contender because I know the

548
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: Raptors are raptors.

549
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 3: Have you seen the schedule?

550
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: I have not.

551
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 3: Actually, we could be looking at a one nine.

552
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 4: Oh man, it's difficult, but they're not a contender. So

553
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: of like the better teams, who do you think has

554
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 4: a really tough start?

555
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: I'll stick in the East, and I do think the

556
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks consider themselves a contender, but if you look

557
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: at their skeed, it's hard. Their first ten games has

558
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: got Boston twice, Cleveland twice, the Knicks twice, Philadelphia and Memphis.

559
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: Who's going to be a good team. That's eight games

560
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: against really good teams and then a Chicago and a Utah.

561
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: Utah should be tough to play. I don't know much Chicago,

562
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: but anyway, I do think that it's going to be

563
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: tough for this old quote older team and all these

564
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: back to backs that they have. They have sixteen games

565
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: that are back to backs, that's tied for the most

566
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: in the league. And this team is an old bunch

567
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: and it's going to be interesting to see them go

568
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: up against Philly. I mean those Milwaukee considers themselves as

569
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: one of the teams that should rival against the Boston Celtics.

570
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: But it's going to be interesting to see Damian Lillard

571
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: here in his second season after the first season where

572
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: he said I wasn't in shape because he wasn't ready

573
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: to be traded. This is a different type of basketball

574
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: career for Damian Lillard. He's got to be a good defender,

575
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: and so he said that he's going to concentrate on

576
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: defense for the first time in his career, essentially the

577
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: way he has to combined with you know, an older

578
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: Middleton and Yiannis, this is their time to be to

579
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: go all in for it, to go for it. So

580
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: I am interested to see how they start this freaking season,

581
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: because that's stuff. And that's the weird thing about the

582
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: NBA is that yes, they are trying to make sure

583
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: teams don't have back to backs when they have a

584
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: nationally televised schedule game, but a lot of teams have

585
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: more back to backs because of it, which is weird.

586
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: In sixteen, there's thirty two games for these teams, these

587
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: guys who are supposed to be old, Yeah, because they

588
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: are old. So I will be watching those Milwaukee Bucks

589
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: because there's just a lot of good teams in the East.

590
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: I think that they can they can rival with the Celtics.

591
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 4: You think Doc Rivers will be their coach after ten games?

592
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: About forty four games exactly?

593
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: Is there another team that's got a really tough start

594
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: to great East pick for a West pick?

595
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: I think the Suns have a really tough schedule. Positive

596
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: residual dot Com said they in their first two months

597
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: of the season, the Sun's face teams with an average

598
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: winning percentage of fifty five point seven, toughest in the league.

599
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 2: They're one of those teams that also had sixteen back

600
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: to backs this year, tied for the most, and they

601
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: have a league worst minus four rest disadvantage games. That

602
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: sucks when you know all your players are old get hurt.

603
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: You don't have a lot of them, So tough stuff

604
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: for the Suns. I think they are going to be

605
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: having to come out of the gate pretty fast here

606
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: because they got the Clippers, Lakers, Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers, Blazers,

607
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: seventy six ers, Heat, MAVs and Kings in their first

608
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: ten games. Outside of the heat really don't matter for them.

609
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 2: As a game. The Trailblazer should be easy. But those

610
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: are like teams they're competing with four seeding in the

611
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: Western Conference. I guess maybe a good thing is that

612
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 2: they'll be in a little bit of rhythm. You know,

613
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Kevin and Devin they played

614
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: together all summer. They'll have a little.

615
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: Bit of a rhythm. Maybe.

616
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: But the Suns, man, it's tough stuff for the Suns.

617
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's they got.

618
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: Tough schedule, they got older guys, and they don't have

619
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: a ton of death. They got more depth this year

620
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: than last year. Would have been really behind the ape

621
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: off with an injury this season. At least they got

622
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 2: you know, two of the best backup point guards in

623
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: the league.

624
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, part of it.

625
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: I picked the Suns as well for all the reasons

626
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 4: you said. It does depend a little bit on whether

627
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 4: you think the Clippers are going to be good or

628
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: above average sort of. The Lakers as well, for being honest,

629
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 4: because yeah, to play the Clippers, Lakers, and MAVs twice

630
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 4: in the first ten games, Like, that's if those teams

631
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 4: are all really good teams, which they could be. I mean,

632
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: that's really tough not to mention the seventy six ers,

633
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: Heat Kings, and then yeah, okay, maybe the Blazers. But

634
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 4: and it's also a team in the Suns, you know,

635
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 4: I know, you have a new coach and Budenholzer, so

636
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 4: you maybe have a bit of a runway. But like

637
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 4: after what happened last year with all the injuries and

638
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 4: stuff like, they got to start strong. I think, right like,

639
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: they can't be playing catch up in the West all

640
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 4: year again. That can't happen. So I had that one

641
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 4: as well. And the Clippers, I don't consider them contenders,

642
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: but they're in the same boat as the Sun. So

643
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: a very tough start to their schedule. Let's talk about

644
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: the holidays, let's look ahead. NBA will feature five games

645
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 4: on Christmas Day for the seventeenth.

646
00:26:58,880 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: Year in a row.

647
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: God, I feel old and I say that we were

648
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: around when they started doing this.

649
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: We were doing a show.

650
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 4: We reacted to the first time they said we're putting

651
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 4: five games on Christmas Day, go back and find those clips.

652
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 4: ESPN has all those games. We're showing them to you

653
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: here on YouTube. It's Spurs, Knicks, It's Wolves, MAVs seventy

654
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 4: six are Celtics, Lakers, Warriors, and then the Nuggets Suns

655
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 4: close out the night. And then later on Monday, January twentieth,

656
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 4: the NBA family will celebrate one of its most important

657
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 4: traditions by honoring the life and legacy of doctor Martin

658
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: Luther King Junior. Got triple header on this day, MAVs

659
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: Hornets on NBA TV with the early start. Then you

660
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 4: got Wolves Grizzlies on TNT, and then Celtics Warriors. So

661
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 4: of all of those holiday games, and maybe you've got

662
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 4: some other holidays you want to show some love too.

663
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: What's an anticipated game from that bunch?

664
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: TK you get started? Okay, Christmas comes first, so let's

665
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 2: talk about that. I'm most excited for Wemby, to be

666
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: quite honest, playing the first Christmas game of his career

667
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: in Madison Square, New York always gets the kickoff game

668
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: on Christmas. Always a great environment, so I'm very excited

669
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: for that one. If I'm looking at the schedule, I

670
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: think like seventy six or Celtics actually has the most

671
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: narrative value assuming both teams come in healthy to the game.

672
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 2: You know, we're assuming that the seventy six Ers and

673
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: Celtics will at least be eyeing each other come playoff time.

674
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 2: This will give the seventy six Ers a little bit

675
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 2: of a chance to integrate Paul George figuring out how

676
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 2: they're playing together with all the new pieces they added.

677
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 2: Maybe they're clicking. Then maybe the Celtics. I don't know

678
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: when Porzingi is supposed to be back. I don't think

679
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: that early though.

680
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so ya.

681
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: So that's a bummer. But they still got a really

682
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: really deep team. They didn't even need Porzingis really in

683
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs, so win the championship. So I think from

684
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: looking back at Christmas, when it's April, that'll be the

685
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: most important one.

686
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Christmas is stacked. And I think it does start

687
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: with Wemby walking into Madison Square Garden because I think

688
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people still don't know who Wemby is.

689
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: The casual fantasy. I was with casual fans watching the

690
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Olympics and they saw Wemby play and they said, who

691
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: is that guy and now giving him this beautiful day

692
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: walking into Madison Square Garden. It should be super super fun.

693
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Everyone will get to know this guy right quick. So

694
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: this is it's pretty stacked day, followed by the Minnesota

695
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Western Conference Finals rematch. The game on that day

696
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: that you look at and you say, again, it's probably

697
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: Lakers Warriors. Do you have to keep playing it? But

698
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: it is Lebron rated, so they still get And first

699
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: time since twenty eighteen that Lebron and Curry are going

700
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: to play against each other on Christmas.

701
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was more recent too. Obviously, Lebron and

702
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: Curry's teams played a ton of times. It was like

703
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: the last three years Lebron was in Cleveland and then

704
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 2: his first year in LA, but Steph has missed some time.

705
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: Lebron two and one against Steph Curry on Christmas, Deph

706
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: only has one thirty point game on Christmas's by playing

707
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I think he's played eight times

708
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: or something like that, a lot of potential buzz for

709
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: these guys joining up. I don't know. If he saw

710
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Steph Curry's Instagram, I.

711
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: Was gonna say they might be on the same team

712
00:29:59,280 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: by this kid.

713
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Would you be mad?

714
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: No?

715
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: If Lebron left the Lakers and went.

716
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 3: To the Warriors for content, No, my god, you're not.

717
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: How bad as a basketball fan?

718
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: No?

719
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awesome watching the one. Yeah, that was sick.

720
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: That was kind of like the soft launch. They're like, wait,

721
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: everybody loves this, let's do it honestly, make it happens.

722
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: What happened? You said? Curry removed Warriors point guard from

723
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: his es.

724
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: He put an Olympic gold medalist I believe, instead of

725
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: Warriors guard or whatever.

726
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: It said.

727
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: Good update. We know you've been a Warrior's guard for

728
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: a long time, and.

729
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: I think they they did. They tagged each other as

730
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: collaborators as well.

731
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 3: Amazing, Wow, amazing.

732
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: That's why Lebron's got to play with BROWNI early on.

733
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll be gone just to go to MLKDA.

734
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 3: Here for a second, where are our hometown Hawks?

735
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: It is weird New York?

736
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: What this is?

737
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: Don't they always play on MLKDA usually here in Atlanta.

738
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen I think was the last time they didn't

739
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: have an MLK game. What is there a reason people

740
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 2: think it's called the NCAA Title game for football? Is

741
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 2: that Mercedes Benz down the street, yep, across the bridge. Yeah,

742
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: six hours later. Yeah, that's interesting. You could easily play

743
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: a game. They should have a game.

744
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's wouldn't you want if the if the championship

745
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: game is here for football? I mean, that's a fun

746
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 3: double header for some people. Yeah. Interesting, interesting, But the

747
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: Hornets get it? Yeah that that early starts, that's usually

748
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: would probably go to the Hawks. If I remember correctly.

749
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: You're tearing that gulch up Centennial Yards.

750
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: Maybe that's it. There's just not enough parking. Yeah, what's

751
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: the pot game here?

752
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: Timberwolves Grizzlies in Memphis. That's gonna be a nice game.

753
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: Not that far now we know how to get there. Yeah,

754
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: even shorter than Little Hesitation. Will John Morant be playing

755
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: in January? We'll see, hopefully, yesfully, hopefully that is a

756
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: good looking game.

757
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 4: You're right if the Grizzlies bounce back with all their

758
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 4: guys obviously healthy. All right, let's get to our final

759
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 4: question here when it comes to the schedule, pretty generic.

760
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 3: Must see games from the first few months. Are there

761
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: some other games that you got your eye on here?

762
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,719
Speaker 3: Tasks that you want to shine a light on.

763
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: Well, that Western Conference bloodbath is is an interesting one

764
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: just through the first few months because there are going

765
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: to be some disappointed teams. There's eleven teams are super tough.

766
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: One team is gonna be disappointed not making the play

767
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: in look at the Pacific Division. I looked at divisions.

768
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's both LA's Golden State, Phoenix and Sacramento,

769
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: and then in another division the Wolves, Thunder, and Nuggets

770
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: all skip over the other two. Then in the other

771
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: division it's a Grizzlies, Pelicans, and a Spurs and a Mavericks.

772
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: That's a lot of great teams. I didn't include the Rockets,

773
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: who will be a very good team this year. Utah

774
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: is going to be a tough game when you go

775
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: play them. And I know the Portland Trailblazers are the

776
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: one team that's probably going to be fifteenth, but they

777
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: got some expectations about a scoot a Sharp, an avdia

778
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: as Simon's Jeremy Grant eight and they've got players. I

779
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: think the Western Conference is going to be fun to

780
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: watch because there's gonna be unless, yeah, the Lakers decide,

781
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: hey we're trading Lebron James and they won't have the

782
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: expectation to make the postseason. But those eleven teams, I

783
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: said with a lock, but it could be more that

784
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: are more disappointed. That's yeah, that's a tough, tough, tough,

785
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: tough schedule period that you have to play those teams

786
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: fifty times. Oh my god.

787
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I like, I get the wembylove and the

788
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 4: idea like, oh my god, maybe he's like flirting with

789
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: MVP suddenly. But yeah, ifin you I put the Spurs

790
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 4: in that mix, which is fair. Rockets do have to

791
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 4: be in there too. I mean, they were a good

792
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 4: team last year. They didn't get worse. Now they might

793
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: be one of those disappointed teams though. I mean it

794
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 4: might be the little drop off or maybe sort of

795
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 4: stagnant because you've got to play all these Juggernauts.

796
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Kings, the Clippers. Man, it's you're.

797
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 4: Right, it's like yeah, and again, like I know it's

798
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 4: not over after the first two months, but you can't

799
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 4: be like, you know, you can't be twelve games under

800
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 4: something like that just because you had a tough schedule.

801
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: That's gonna be so tough to get back. So that'll

802
00:33:58,840 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: be great.

803
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: Any other games you want to point out here, t

804
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: k Man.

805
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm excited for many games. Okay, let me see if

806
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: I can do this chronologically things that I think are interesting.

807
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: October twenty third, that's at Hawk's. You guys getting fired

808
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: up for Zach Recisay's first game. Sure, literally, any other

809
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: number one draft pick he would at least get mentioned. Yeah, yeah,

810
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: I haven't heard anybody say they're excited to see the

811
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: debut of the number one draft pick. October twenty eighth,

812
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: Wizards at.

813
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: I was gonna say he plays Sar pretty soon. Yeah,

814
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 4: Recis Day versus Sar.

815
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah cool. Sure, see you there, Yeah.

816
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: See you there. I'm buying in. I'm buying in, all right.

817
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: October twenty ninth, Dallas at Minnesota. I would liked to

818
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: see that on opening night, if I'm being quite honest,

819
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: And on that being said. October twenty second, first TMT doubleheader,

820
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: I think is must watch because it's the first night

821
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: Charles Barkley is going to be on TV during the

822
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 2: last season of the Turner contract. Very exciting. November seventeenth,

823
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: Son's Timberwolves. Timberwolves took care of the Suns in the playoffs.

824
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: Last year.

825
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: Sons handled the Timberwolves on the other side. But I'm

826
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: more excited because it feels like Kevin dur and Devin

827
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: Booker are in love with Anthony Edwards. Obviously, Katie and

828
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: Ann had their thing in the playoffs last year, and

829
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: we've heard KD call Aunt the baby goat, Aunt say

830
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 2: he's sad that he eliminated Kevin Durant last year because

831
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: it was his favorite player. I don't know if you

832
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: watched Devin Booker's content he's.

833
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 3: Making from the Olympics.

834
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: Him and Edwards are hilarious together because Ant's got like

835
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: a humongous personality. Booker is a lot more reserved, so

836
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: I think that'll be fun to watch. I'm excited for

837
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 2: the NBA Cup like a fool. November twelfth, Nix at Sixers,

838
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, kicking things off the final December seventeenth, and

839
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 2: this one is way down the line. Grizzly Spurs. They

840
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: played each other January fifteenth and seventeenth. John Morant dunked

841
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 2: on Victor Wembin Yama last year he played nine games

842
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: at least got a couple of highlights in, but more

843
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: exciting Wemby versus Zach Edie ooh good call the Twin

844
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 2: Towers exciting good call.

845
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, just to you know, really drive home the point.

846
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 4: I do have the Nick Sixers on that Tuesday, November twelfth, Yeah,

847
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 4: had that first NBA Cup game. These teams staged like

848
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: an instant classic in the postseason. In the twenty four playoffs,

849
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 4: Brunson averaged forty two points per game over the final

850
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 4: four games. Embiid went for fifty in one of those games.

851
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 4: Maxi scored what seven points in twenty five seconds to

852
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 4: get the game into overtime to force a game six.

853
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 4: We only didn't get a game seven. It was still

854
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: an incredible series. And with all due respect to the

855
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 4: Bucks and your calves and your magic, I mean your

856
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 4: pacers and maybe your heat whatever, that game the Knick

857
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 4: Sixers feels like, hey, who's the biggest threat to the

858
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 4: Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference. It's like they're battling

859
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: to say who can be the team to maybe challenge

860
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 4: Boston out East. And you know, obviously then you have

861
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 4: Paul George on the Sixers, you got mckail bridges on

862
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 4: the Knicks. Like that's a massive, massive game, good start

863
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 4: to the Cup and what are they going to do?

864
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 3: What are the floor is going to be same, completely different.

865
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 3: I'd like to see them different.

866
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: They should be different. But that's just a lot of

867
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: floor waste, a lot of hate. I mean some teams

868
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: like the Mavericks never played on Theirs last year, right,

869
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,959
Speaker 2: like they can never get the paint right. Yeah, Steve

870
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: slippery something.

871
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so.

872
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they played.

873
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was something.

874
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: Like did say something about a floor being slippery, but

875
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't Theirs. Yeah, yeah, it could have been

876
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: Charlotte that he found slippery. But we're going to see

877
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: some strips, We're going to see some runways. It's gonna

878
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: be the same idea.

879
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: It could be very well the same, like three stripes. Yeah,

880
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 2: but they changed the colors based on whatever. Their jerseys

881
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: are always wow runways.

882
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: It's good call Emirates.

883
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.

884
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 4: Their sponsor maybe put like a little dashes down the middle,

885
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: like they could land a plane or something like that.

886
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 4: I will give you a couple more notes about the schedule,

887
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 4: some like little quirks here for the third straight year,

888
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: no games on Election night, yeah, which is November fifth,

889
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 4: as the league continues to encourage fans to get out

890
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 4: and vote. However, all thirty teams are active the day

891
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 4: before the election, So November fourth, we got everybody playing

892
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 4: other days.

893
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: And they start fifteen minutes after each other on.

894
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 3: That day the little stagger.

895
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: Every fifteen minutes a new game will start, so you

896
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: can watch fifteen different endings as well.

897
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 4: Marathon playback session the fourth quarter of voter early other days,

898
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 4: there are no NBA games Thanksgiving, no games on November

899
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 4: twenty eighth, December eighteenth, which is the day after the

900
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: NBA Cup Final, Christmas Eve, December twenty fourth, no games,

901
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 4: and then All Star Break fourteenth to the nineteenth of February,

902
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 4: and then April twelfth, the eve of the regular season finale,

903
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 4: where then again everybody is playing the next day. So

904
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 4: what do we say there if you don't count the

905
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: All Star break, Let's say it's five days basically where

906
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 4: we have no games, right, those.

907
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 3: Will be our rest nights.

908
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 4: Also, the Spurs are going to play three home games

909
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 4: not at home this season. They'll play their first two

910
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 4: games after the All Star Break in Austin against the

911
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 4: Suns and the Piston okay yeah, and then one of

912
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: their two games against the Pacers in Paris will be

913
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 4: considered a home game.

914
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: Okay, which is interesting. Three games not their own barn,

915
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: tough stuff.

916
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: I know Global Game can get them out there, get

917
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: Wendy out there. And then we got what Wizards versus

918
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: Heat is the Mexico City.

919
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 4: Game, right, I believe, which is a little bit before

920
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 4: I think that Paris games, Yeah, for sure.

921
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 3: Any other thoughts on the schedule.

922
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: Was a good breakdown, Listen. I was excited about the

923
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: Raptors this season. I don't care what people say. I

924
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: think the Raptors are going to be better than expected.

925
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: Then looking at that schedule, that's a tough heat to start. Calvs. Sixers, Wolves, Nuggets,

926
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: what Horriets, that's a great one. Lakers, Kings, Nuggets again,

927
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: Kings again, Clippers, Lakers.

928
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: And the West Coast road trips are they?

929
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? That was a West Coast road trip

930
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: for four four of them and then a fifth Bucks.

931
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: That's how you start this season.

932
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 4: I'm telling you it could be I'm the eight ball early.

933
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: I'll be happy with like three and seven out of

934
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: ten games.

935
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: I think with that, Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.

936
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: All right, before we go, let's do a little is

937
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 3: this news? Yeah, looks dog days of summer. There's not

938
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 3: a lot.

939
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 4: We're talking about the schedule for crying out loud, but God,

940
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 4: some headlines for you guys. First one, the Philadelphia seventy

941
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 4: six ers have agreed to a one year, two point

942
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 4: one million dollar deal with forward Gershan Yappasel six foot

943
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 4: eight power forward and I mean power forward, breakout star

944
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 4: in France's run in the Olympic gold medal tournament. Obviously,

945
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 4: in the gold medal game he played great too. I

946
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 4: scored twenty two to seventeen and twenty points against Canada,

947
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 4: Germany and the USA respectively. So this guy's back in

948
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 4: the lead and he's on the Sixers. Is this news?

949
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is news. This is awesome. He like really

950
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 2: sees an opportunity and showed out at the right time

951
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: and is ending up at.

952
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: A pretty sweet spot.

953
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 2: I think getting to play for a Sixers team that

954
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: needed this kind of player type, like they're starting four

955
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 2: going into the league is probably gonna be Caleb Martin.

956
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: So Yabu sal obviously brings a different bodies type than

957
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: Caleb Martin. He's gonna have to be able to shoot

958
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 2: NBA three pointers. He couldn't his first thin around, but

959
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 2: he's apparently now a forty four forty five percent three

960
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: point shooter from the feeble line, which is a little

961
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: bit shorter. But if he can hit him from the corners,

962
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 2: that's good. If he can mash some smaller second units

963
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 2: as like a fail safe, I think that would be

964
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 2: huge Sixers. I'm gonna love their bench, Andre Drummond and

965
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 2: Gershon Yabucela together gonna be hilarious to watch. And he's

966
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: given up a ton of money to do this. He

967
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: might be making like four hundred and fifty thousand dollars

968
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 2: to play for the Sixers this year because of what

969
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: his buyout is with his overseas team, how much they

970
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 2: can offer, and all this kind of stuff. So should

971
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 2: be cool. I hope he can shoot because it'd be nice.

972
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: It seems stick around.

973
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's betting on himself for this one year to

974
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: show all the other teams that hey, come pay me,

975
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: because he should for a longer term deal with Darryl Morrigan.

976
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: The heck of a deal here for a guy who's

977
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: going to be in their rotation. I don't see why

978
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: he wouldn't. But the Sixers coming into this offseason, we

979
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: talked about Paul George. I think at Paul George. Look

980
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: at them hit some home runs here with Caleb Martin,

981
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 1: Eric Gordon, Kyle Lowry coming back Andre Drummond. That's pretty solid.

982
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: Along with their draft picks. That's that's just a very

983
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: very very good offseason for them. And yeah, this guy

984
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: looks like he can play anywhere. He just looks like

985
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,919
Speaker 1: after that first round pick with Boston, he didn't look

986
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: like he was able to play in this league. But

987
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: as you said, those stats with Real Madrid are really

988
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: really good the last few years. Him shooting the ball.

989
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: So you're a corner guy and you can guard fours

990
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: out there. You are big guy who can guard any wing.

991
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: And he was fine playing against all these good teams.

992
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: So yes, you got a rotation guy here.

993
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 4: Do you think the call from Darryl came before the

994
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 4: dunk on Lebron or right after the dunk on because

995
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 4: he was already playing well?

996
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 3: But I wonder did the dunk like hold on? I'm

997
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 3: calling him, give me his agent.

998
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think. I feel like I saw Darryl

999
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: Morey tweets from Paris. I think I saw him at

1000
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: like a beach volleyball.

1001
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 4: Mat, and he loves table tennis for sure, Elli does yeah, yeah,

1002
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 4: but in person perhaps maybe maybe maybe talk to him.

1003
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 3: Shook his hand right there on spots.

1004
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: There's no serious booty on the seventy six ers. Man

1005
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 2: Sell Lowry, Andre Drummond, Eric Gordon's got a jumper. It's crazy.

1006
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 2: They're gonna have the biggest shorts in the league. And

1007
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 2: Morey's got a type our next headline here.

1008
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 4: According to Bill Simmons, there is legitimate buzz about Amazon

1009
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 4: founder jeff Bezos buying the Boston Celtics.

1010
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: Quote. I think it's real. I think he's going to.

1011
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 4: Be one of the suitors. That's what Bill said on

1012
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 4: Monday's pod. Simmons added that the NBA would love for

1013
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 4: someone like Bezos to pay six billion for the Celtics,

1014
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 4: a franchise that doesn't.

1015
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 3: Even own its own arena.

1016
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 4: But the idea would be, you know, he's got the

1017
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 4: money burst off, and that he would then maybe like

1018
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 4: build arena there, new arena.

1019
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 3: And stuff like that and own it.

1020
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 4: But is this news, Bill Simmons saying, Jeffrey Bezos, Jeffree

1021
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 4: Bezos is interested.

1022
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: In buying theself nice, nice singing Bezos purchasing a team

1023
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: makes sense. He's always rumored to be wanting to purchase

1024
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: a team, So is this news, Yeah, he can afford it,

1025
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: and it seems like he'd be very interested on a

1026
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: team that's ready to sell with growths back made that

1027
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: announcement months ago. So yes, when you hear Bezos buying

1028
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: buying a team, I suppose it's news. They just built

1029
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: a practice facility, so they have that. But maybe maybe

1030
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: Bezos would want to build another stadium. Although it's a

1031
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 1: great arena as it is right now, is the idea.

1032
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 2: Of owning it?

1033
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, yeah, bruins as owning. He likes owning

1034
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: things he wanted.

1035
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 4: Bezos tried to buy the Washington Commanders NFL franchise not

1036
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 4: all that long ago. I think Josh Harrison, that company,

1037
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know what happened outbid him. Would

1038
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 4: be tough to imagine, but whatever, it went to them.

1039
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 4: So he obviously wants a sports franchise, or at least

1040
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 4: tried before.

1041
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: TK. Do you think Bezos and the Celtics makes sense?

1042
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it makes sense because if you're a

1043
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 2: Celtics fan, if you're a notable Celtics fan, you want

1044
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: this team to stick together. And this is going to

1045
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: be the most expensive team in the league. So we're

1046
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 2: getting potentially the richest guy on earth to take over

1047
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: the payroll. That seems pretty wish casting to me, because

1048
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: the information came out just as fast as you can

1049
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 2: get something shipped on Amazon Prime and said no, this

1050
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 2: is not happening. It feels to me like it would

1051
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: be a conflict of rights for somebody who's a rights holder.

1052
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 2: Amazon is going to be getting into the NBA deal,

1053
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 2: how can they then own a team. Also, I can

1054
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: literally not find a single mention of Jeff Bezos ever

1055
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: going to anything to do with the NBA. I was

1056
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: looking at Getty images of Jeff Bezos NBA. There's nothing doing.

1057
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 2: You can't find a picture on Google Images. I don't

1058
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: think he likes basketball, but he's a very rich guy.

1059
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 3: He likes money exactly.

1060
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 2: And that's what it seems to me is like, let's

1061
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: talk about rich guys who exist in America. Jeff Bezos

1062
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 2: is one of them. Ergo, he should buy the expensive team,

1063
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 2: That's all it is.

1064
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 4: Also, he should in Bill Simmons case, my team crazy,

1065
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 4: right crazy.

1066
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: We got the guy with the deepest pockets on earth

1067
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 2: to be able to keep together a team that just

1068
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: won a championship in sixty four games right right now.

1069
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 4: In Bill's defense, he's he does seem to oddly be

1070
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 4: sort of plugged in with all these the rich guys

1071
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 4: and the owners and stuff. Like he said things before

1072
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 4: that have come true. Who knows about this one, but

1073
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 4: I do think, yeah, I'm with you, tokay. He's like, Hey,

1074
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 4: this would be cool if Jeffrey bezels about our team

1075
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 4: because he could keep it together and spend whatever he wanted.

1076
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: But we will see final one.

1077
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: NBA fans, you might see a different Zion Williams and

1078
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 4: here on the court this season, at least a slimmer one.

1079
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 3: Judging from photos.

1080
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: That were posted social media over the weekend, Zion was

1081
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 4: a photographed posing with kids attending his basketball camp. His

1082
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: free basketball camp, by the way, shout out to Zion

1083
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 4: for that in South Carolina. And he does look noticeably

1084
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 4: thinner here. This one pick had Twitter buzzin from at

1085
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 4: ingram alerts. Looking like he's in the best shape of

1086
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: his life. Mean, is it the so he's going real

1087
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: neck head up? But I guess his neck.

1088
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 3: Has ever one totally totally.

1089
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 4: Who is that football player with the long Neckton Hanks. Hey,

1090
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 4: give me your best Merton Hanks post. But is this

1091
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 4: news tasks Zion looking quite fit here?

1092
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm buying it as news. I think we are witnessing

1093
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: the best Zion in his NBA career. I'm buying it.

1094
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm totally buying it. I think we've got Zion unleashed here.

1095
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: I know it's the time of season where we see

1096
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: somebody who looks his best physical shape ever. But I'm

1097
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: buying with Zion because he did have his best season

1098
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: last season. He played in seventy games, the most he's

1099
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: ever played in the NBA, So I do think that

1100
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: can be added on and he is seemingly doing. He

1101
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: talked about it as well, like, Hey, I am in

1102
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: my best shape and we're talking about Zion Willison, who

1103
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: could be, if he's healthy, the top ten player, a

1104
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: top ten player in the league. Yeah, he is one

1105
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: of those guys. He's way too fast for big guys.

1106
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: He's way too big for any wing or small guy

1107
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: that wants to try and guard him. He's that damn good.

1108
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: So I am buying it. I'm buying it that it's

1109
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: going to happen, that we're gonna see Zion Wilson in

1110
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: his first playoff game. If the Pelicans can make it,

1111
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,919
Speaker 1: but the team is stacked, it is an interesting team,

1112
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: you know, with the Jontay Murray Brandon Ingram still there,

1113
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: so there's a lot to still be worked on. But

1114
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: if that guy with that long nape is playing, he

1115
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: will be amazing. That's what we're all waiting for. So yea,

1116
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm buying it. I'm buying it. Why not.

1117
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 4: He's apparently currently two hundred and eighty one pounds. He

1118
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 4: was two eighty five when he was at Duke, obviously

1119
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 4: as a younger guy, so he's lost weight from then,

1120
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 4: and he intends to be I think was this from

1121
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 4: a family member that he intends to be two seventy

1122
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 4: two when the NBA season begins in October. So he's

1123
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 4: got two months to basically shed ten pounds or he

1124
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 4: wants to to maybe be a little quicker.

1125
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 3: A little lighter.

1126
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he does appear to be thinnered TK though,

1127
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 4: is this newsworthy?

1128
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1129
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: I feel the same way I feel with Zion as

1130
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: I do with Joel Embiid. Anytime you hear an update

1131
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: on their health and it's good, you're like to hear, yeah,

1132
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 2: because everybody wants to see Zion playing a lot, Like

1133
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: you said, task seventy games last season, a career high,

1134
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 2: who was taken over in the play in game against

1135
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers until the last three minutes when his hamstring

1136
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 2: went and it was over. So you wonder if that

1137
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: had an effect on him saying, look, I did everything

1138
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: I could last year, my body still wasn't right. Right

1139
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 2: now I'm getting as right as I possibly can. Getting

1140
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: down to his college weight even under is going to

1141
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 2: be incredible to see. So yeah, hopefully it doesn't take

1142
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: away his force, you know inside the bowling ball nature

1143
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: of the way he plays. But in general, when guys

1144
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: getting the best shape of their career, they have the

1145
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: best seasons of their career. So just be on the

1146
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 2: court man.

1147
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 3: That'd be awesome, I know.

1148
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 4: And it's you're right, like the Pelicans get sort of

1149
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 4: lost in the mix here because all these other great teams,

1150
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 4: but you know, they did add to Jeante Murray. We

1151
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 4: do thought, we did think or you know, maybe that

1152
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 4: means brand Ingram will be gone or move. He's still there,

1153
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 4: but it's still a great roster and they've got they

1154
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 4: got guys that they're hoping just like Slot Up and

1155
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 4: Power Up too, with more of a role in Trey

1156
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 4: Murphy and stuff like that. So keep your eye on

1157
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 4: the Pelkan, especially now that Ion's thin.

1158
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 3: Thin guy's huge.

1159
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: Down to twoy I know, tiny guy, so scinny man

1160
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: and that's where people people are legit like, I don't know.

1161
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 3: He may have lost too much weight. Relax. I think

1162
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 3: he's gonna be okay.

1163
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 4: But there it is. We'll call it there. Thanks everybody

1180
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,080

1181
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: uh as in like sicko mode. I've been feeling pretty

1182
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: healthy actually, but like I've been watching five on five

1183
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 2: runs of players playing in the summer, like just locking

1184
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 2: into Rico Hines. I saw I saw Alonzo Ball playing

1185
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 2: five on five basketball. He's back maybe yeah, high Bay

1186
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,560

1187
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 2: anybody in the NBA. He plays in every single one

1188
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 2: of these runs. It doesn't matter which YouTube channel you're on.
