Speaker 1: me on the podcast.

56
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always think Mike Tomlin for when I hear Tomlin,

57
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm like tom that's a that's a football name, but

58
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: now it's the basketball name. Now we're getting Weggies all

59
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: the time. It feels like, as you said, this is

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: going to be the record if we get there in

61
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: the modern day era for weggies in a season. Sixty

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: three was our record. We are bumping you, as you said,

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: up to sixty five. That Cooper flag one, though, I

64
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: thought that was literally a flake, the thump that it

65
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: made against the backboard. Maybe it's the microphones are turned

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: up real loud. I just cranked my audio to see

67
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: if I could hear it through our music. You know,

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: I got more music than I did thump, but that

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 2: thump was loud. On that broadcast. That was a thump

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: you love was.

71
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: So like dejected. He drops and Charlie Brown's off the court.

72
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, pick your head up, man. That's back to back wedges.

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: That's rare.

74
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: He is now tied as a clubhouse leader for Weggies

75
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: this year. It goes Cooper Flag, it goes Drew u Banks,

76
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: and it goes Jaalen Smith. One of those things, not

77
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: like the other twos each. Yeah, twos each, twos each.

78
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: That's keep your eye on those three guys. If they

79
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: stuck the next one, they'll take the lead.

80
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: That's like Reggie Miller comparing Caitlin Clark to Peyton Richard. Uh,

81
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: you know that's not a good comparison, is that?

82
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

83
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: What a reaction from her.

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So.

85
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the trades. Southern Lawyer, if

86
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: you will. I mean, this is a big week here

87
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: for possibly the Southern lawyer.

88
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: We got all sales the trade.

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Trades plural, Yeah, well yeah, they're small, but yeah, I'll

90
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: start with the bigger of the two. The Cleveland Cavaliers

91
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: traded DeAndre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for

92
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Keon Ellis and Dennis Shrewder. As part of the deal,

93
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls received Dario Sarich and two second round picks.

94
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Miller also on the move. I guess he headed

95
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: to Cleveland, if I have that correct, But I forgot

96
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: to put him on the old graphic there, so my

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: apologies to the go old Canadian boy.

98
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: That's right.

99
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't believe I missed that. But anyway, the

100
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: big parts here Hunter to the Kings and then Ellis

101
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: and Shrewder to the Cavaliers. What team do you want

102
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: to start with here in terms of like the perspective

103
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: or what they were thinking.

104
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: You got to start with Cleveland Cavaliers for me. Okay,

105
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: And I think people will say kenl is a great player.

106
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: I think it's Dennis Shruder is the biggest here because

107
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: last year Dennis Ruder was very good in the postseason.

108
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: Beside Kate Cunningham. He was literally the second best ball

109
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: handler on that team, literally finishing games in that six

110
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: game series against the New York Knicks. It was a

111
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: fun series and he was big. The numbers were big,

112
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: he was super efficient. He was playing twenty seven minutes

113
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: per game in that series. And the Cavs need a

114
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: ball handler. Lonzo Ball has been bad this year. He

115
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: has not been right last year. After the postseason, the

116
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: Cavs said, all right, Ty Jerome, we're not offering you money.

117
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: We're giving that money to Sam Maryl. We can turn

118
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: Isaac Accorro into Lonzo Ball. And Lonzo Ball has been bad.

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: Dennis Shruder might be there to provide a little bit

120
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: of insurance. Also, could be a bad sign that Darius

121
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: Garland is out. All of his toes are injured, basically

122
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: his big right toe in the offseason, left big toe now,

123
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: so maybe that's a factor, that's unfortunate factor for them.

124
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, he could come in and help Kean Ellis

125
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: though that's a great flyer to take on this guy.

126
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: I guess Sacramento didn't want to pay him in the

127
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: offseason because he is a free agent now. He hasn't

128
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: had a great year, but you could see him play

129
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: defense beside Donovan Mitchell, taking the other team's best ball

130
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: handler and let Donovan Mitchell off the ball. But you

131
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: know it would be a teeny tiny backcourt, that's for sure.

132
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: But either way, gotta start with the Cats for me

133
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: as being because I'm a positive beeat you know the

134
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Kings did something, but really, the best player he's on

135
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: the Cavs now in this trade him for me?

136
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: You think it's Shruder as the beast player. I think

137
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: it's Kean Ellis is the best to get here because

138
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure that Shrewder sticks around in Cleveland.

139
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: There are like cap reasons why they might want to

140
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: move him, And it's just weird that they traded for

141
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: two guards when like so many of their best players

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: are guards of their top ten and minutes played per

143
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: season Mitchell, Garland, Jalen Tyson, Garter Wing, your choice, Sam Merrill,

144
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Craig Porter, Junior, Lonzo You're like, you're saying he hasn't

145
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: been good. They've got six guards in their top ten

146
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: and they just traded a wing for two more guards.

147
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: There's not that many minutes to go around right now.

148
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: There is because Darius Garland out, and I do think

149
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: Ellis can fit next to Donovan Mitchell. He could play

150
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: next to Garland whenever Garland comes back healthy. And you're right,

151
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 3: maybe Shrewd does stick around as insurance for Garland, but

152
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: who knows. This was a cap trade for the Cavaliers

153
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: to do this, getting rid of DeAndre Hunter, even though

154
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: they're going to have to pay Shrewder longer if he

155
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: sticks around. Ellis will see if they extend him or

156
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: if they just say go and try and find a

157
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: deal during the off season. But the fact that moving

158
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: Hunter was mainly a cap dump makes me think that

159
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: they would probably trade Shooter as well, just because you know,

160
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: that's the smarter thing to do if they're trying to

161
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: keep Donovan Mitchell around long term, which is starting to

162
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: be a question mark. I would have to say with

163
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: the Calves kind of flaming out in the playoffs the

164
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: past couple of seasons. But I think this is good

165
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: for Cleveland, and you know, I think this is good

166
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 3: for all these guys to get traded at the time

167
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: they did, because there's no way we would ever lead

168
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: n a block with these names unless it was only

169
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: the second trade of the NBA season.

170
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: Saw some people over the weekend, where's the emergency podcast?

171
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Where's the emergency podcast? Come on, guys, come on.

172
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: Not this Well, I got I got no problem doing

173
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: an emergency pupping Sunday. It just wasn't. It wasn't for me.

174
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: Because we do have a problem to take an emergency

175
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: podcast unterl This is some degree.

176
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kean Ellis I was definitely supporting way before

177
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: he really got into rotation for the Sacrament of Kings

178
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: last year. Last year was his uh, his rise in

179
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: the NBA. At the same time, it's unfortunately he's fallen

180
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: off a little bit.

181
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: He barely plays. Yeah, it's buried him.

182
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: It's it's a shocker that Doug Christie literally can see

183
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: himself on the floor and Keon Ellis. Doug Christie was

184
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: what ke On Ellis could be and has been at

185
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: some times, so it's surprising that Kean Ellis hasn't played more.

186
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a great flyer to take In the end,

187
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: I think he could definitely get a long term contract

188
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: from the Cavs, but they are definitely looking at their

189
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: books now. Dennishrue yes signed for a year longer an

190
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: additional year to DeAndre Hunter, and that's a big part

191
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: of it. DeAndre Hunter only paid through next year and

192
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: Dennis True paid for two more years. But Shuder makes

193
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: ten million bucks less essentially than what DeAndre Hunter does.

194
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, this saves the cast somewhere in the neighborhood

195
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: of forty five million to fifty million in.

196
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: Luxury tax baenalties.

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Incredibly, it still doesn't take the cass out of the

198
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: second apron completely, but it does give them some big

199
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: time financial savings. In addition to Hunter has been garbage.

200
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: He has not had a good year after they traded

201
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: four him last year around the deadline, and you get

202
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: these two players. Intruder sounds like you think Shrewder is

203
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: just one of these guys that when he's on a

204
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: better team, maybe in a limited role, he can help

205
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: to winning basketball. Because you know, he was getting bench

206
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: for Russell Westbrook and sort of rightfully, so he's the

207
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Kings and after he got that deal and got overpaid

208
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: in the offseason.

209
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's still going to come off the bench

210
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: like he was. Freddy kinks he should be, and he

211
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: was for the Pistons last year when they took him

212
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: into the playoffs and he literally was finishing games beside

213
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: kid because Cages needed a guy to pass the ball

214
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: to and to initiate an offense, and I think he

215
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: can do that. You know, this is a guy who's

216
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: obviously bounced around the league. This is going to be

217
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: his eleventh team.

218
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: Eight times, which ties him for the second most trades

219
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: in league history. I guess Aresa still holds that record.

220
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, tremor Resa. So yeah, this is eleven team.

221
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: But he played with the Lakers twice, went back to

222
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: the Lakers once. So do we consider that a twelve team?

223
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: I guess not, because when we talk about the guys

224
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: who played for the most teams in NBA history, it's

225
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: Ish Smith with thirteen, and those are just thirteen separate teams.

226
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: I guess that's not a double a double dip. Truder

227
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: could get there. He's still young enough.

228
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if he gets traded again at this deadline,

229
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: four trades in like a year for Dennis Truder.

230
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, last season he got traded twenty times in

231
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: eighteen hours because he didn't play for the Jazz. If

232
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: he was traded, though, he went from Golden State to Miami,

233
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: then from uh wait Brooklyn, you taught to Detroit. He

234
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: officially played for the Nets, the Warriors, and the Pistons

235
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, and then the Jazz were a team

236
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: they didn't play.

237
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: For just the way station. Oh boy, I do like

238
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: that he has two CAVSNY two.

239
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: We talked about that.

240
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: I can see them. Yeah, you know, he's not like

241
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: a Dylan Brooks level of agitator, but no get in

242
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: a fight.

243
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, like I mentioned the Darius Carland thing,

244
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: he's not playing, he's out injured. Does that change their

245
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: trade deadline? Look at Garland just what's going on there?

246
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: I mean, is this strictly because he's injured, Because we

247
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: talked about earlier in the season with Kea's was struggling.

248
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: Are they going to move on to save money from

249
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 2: guys like Garland or Jared Allen who will get to

250
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: a little later in the show. But it looks like

251
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: they're just going with what they got for the rest

252
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: of the season.

253
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: Though, like Trey said, Dennis Shueter could be moved here again,

254
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: like they could, they may still want to duck that

255
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: second apron, which obviously really handcuffs a team and what

256
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: you can do. So they could try and move Shooter

257
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe Maxtius. I guess a possibility. He's like sixteen million,

258
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: But we have to take not back a lot of

259
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: contracts to do that, so we'll see. But they get

260
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: these two guys with Garland out, there's a need for them,

261
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: and again Hunter has been pretty brutal for them. Let's

262
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: talk about the Kings. How you're grading this side from

263
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings TK.

264
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: That's okay for Kangs. I mean they just this individual trade. Fine,

265
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: I guess if you're just talking about DeAndre Hunter for

266
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: Kean Ellis, who they weren't going to pay in Dennis Shruder,

267
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: who was a mistake. But you have to take it

268
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: as a whole, and it just shows you how big

269
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: of a mistake it was to sign Shrewder in the

270
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: first place. They gave him a three year deal, basically

271
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: outbidding everybody to get him, and then they immediately signed

272
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook, who took his spot and has been honestly

273
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: probably the King's best player this year in year eighteen.

274
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. So they had to trade a three for one.

275
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 3: They gave up the best player in this trade, whether

276
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: it be Elis or Shrewder, and they had to include

277
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: picks to get off of the Dennis Shrewder contract all

278
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: to get DeAndre Hunter. So it is by low they

279
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 3: do need a big wing, But why do they want

280
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hunter on this team going forward? Doesn't make any

281
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: sort of sense. The Kings are They're still dumb. I

282
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: mean they are, you know, Unfortunately, Scott Perry's like, we're

283
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: trying to win, and then he instantly rebooted it to

284
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: we're trying to rebuild. We don't want any of your

285
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: dumb players like a Jonathan Kaminga and then they still

286
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 3: do stuff like this.

287
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the fascinating part they are when you look

288
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: at it from the King side of things and all

289
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: the things they said they were thinking are going to

290
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: try and do. We're looking for young players. DeAndrea Hunter

291
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: is not necessarily young, right, I mean, he guess he's

292
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: in his prime, but he's twenty eight years old, and

293
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: he has a bit of a checkered history with some injuries.

294
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: There's that we're looking to trim salary.

295
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

296
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: Nope, they added more money this year at least and

297
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: next and then Hunter because of the Hunter for Shooter

298
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: ads like ten million dollars to their next year's pay roll,

299
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: and then what else. We're looking to add draft assets? No,

300
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: they didn't. Here, they traded away you know, a second

301
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: round pick, second round draft capital because they had to

302
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: get off for one to get off the Shooter contact

303
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: contract and had to attach Ellison and these picks to

304
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: do that.

305
00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 2: That's just.

306
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: Like management of assets really is what we get down to.

307
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: It's like a masterclass in poor mismanagement.

308
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't disagree as much as I like DeAndre

309
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: Hunter in that six man role last year. I mean,

310
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: he was thriving in that role with the Calves. That

311
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: was a team that had it all together, and the

312
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings do not. So I doubt that DeAndre Hunter

313
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: is going to go to a team and just all

314
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: of a sudden be that same guy, and hopefully Dug

315
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: Chressy will put him on the bench. I mean, I

316
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: don't even know why I'm saying hopefully. I don't know

317
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: why I'm trying to make this wonderful scenario in Sacramento happen.

318
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: It ain't happening. So that was the optimal DeAndre Hunter

319
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: last year. Great situation in Cleveland, but that's not happening

320
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: in Sacramento.

321
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, King's fans are pointing out the one positive of this,

322
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: like three for one sort of nature of this deal

323
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: does open up a roster spot for young big man

324
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Dylan Cardwell, who the Kings can plan on converting his deal.

325
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: Great guy, he's played well, gives him some energy, opens

326
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: up I guess more room for like their other first

327
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: round pick twenty twenty five draft in Nee Clifford Is

328
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: as well.

329
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: So I mean, but this is like they could have

330
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: just played him more. I know. That's the weird thing

331
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: about Doug in this situation.

332
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: And by all reports, Kean Ellis was highly sought after

333
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: on the market despite struggling to get regular minutes there

334
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: in Sacramento in a crowded backcourt. And in the end,

335
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: like we thought, oh, maybe they can get a late

336
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: first round pick for ke On Ellis, Like you know,

337
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: a team could do that, Maybe that'd be pretty good

338
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: for Sacramento. They probably should after they botched obviously his

339
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: whole contract to stuff, And they.

340
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: Don't do that.

341
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: Like again, they do the opposite of having to give

342
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: the draft capital, even if it is just second round picks.

343
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically they use Keon Ellis to get off of

344
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: Shrewder and Sarages deals, both of whom they acquired over

345
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: the summer as well. So, who don't know, I guess

346
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: maybe maybe the market really isn't there for Kean Ellis.

347
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: He hasn't had an impressive season.

348
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: No, he's been bad this season. He hasn't been himself.

349
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: He hasn't been what he was last year, but it

350
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: sucks for Sacramento. I mean, they chant his name to

351
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: get him into the game more. They're they're asking Doug,

352
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: get that guy who plays really, really hard defensively, even

353
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: if his shot isn't there, get him into the game.

354
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: And now, well, I'm sure we'll see him in Cleveland

355
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: rotations and he'll be doing a great job defensively. It

356
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: is interesting to see what they're going to do with

357
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: him going forward in Cleveland because he is an expiring

358
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: deal and they still have so much time tied up

359
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: in so many guys next year fifty for Donovan, fifty

360
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: for ev Mobile, forty two for Garland, twenty eight for

361
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: Jared Allen. The list goes on and on and on.

362
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: So that's why it does sort of make sense that

363
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: they would move on from Dennis Shruter just because of that.

364
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: He's got next year left on his contract though as well.

365
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: Who he does Yeah.

366
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh Hunter, Yeah, Hunter, just for that one year, yes, exactly.

367
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: So they have to hope he is decent in zero

368
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: expectations sort of scenario and then they can trade him

369
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: again next deadline and Hunter, that's got to be the

370
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: d there's no reason say this guy.

371
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

372
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's having you can feels like you can't get

373
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: worse with him because he's having a career worst year.

374
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: I think he's scoring like fourteen points per game on

375
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: very bad efficiency. Everybody knows my opinion on Deandred Hunter too.

376
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been saying for a very long time

377
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: the idea of DeAndre Hunter is great, but he's not that,

378
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: and he's proven he isn't. And maybe there's the odd

379
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: flash of it, but that's just like infuriates you even

380
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: more because you see those little stretches and then you

381
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: can't put it all together.

382
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,479
Speaker 2: So nobody makes a great six man if you have

383
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: great five men in front of him. But that's just

384
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: not happening at Sacramento. That's yeah, that's the problem.

385
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: And as for your bulls here, they get in. They

386
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: get two second rounders from taking on Dario Sarch's five

387
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: million dollar contract.

388
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: Moving forward, this is huge. This is huge.

389
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: Two things I didn't know that you could do get

390
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: picks back in a trade.

391
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: Who knew?

392
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 3: Number two, the Bulls won a trade. Like every trade grade,

393
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: the Bulls won this trade. They gave up nothing and

394
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 3: they got two second round picks. Yep, unbelievable.

395
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, just taking on that track. Good stuff, good stuff,

396
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta do. That's that's a smart front

397
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: office to that.

398
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

399
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, they're geniuses.

400
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: Well genius.

401
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, soid smart smart offices things.

402
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: No one's ever said that about the Bulls. Now, first

403
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: time ever somebody's called them a smart front office. Let's go.

404
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: I guess that is. This is one instance where they

405
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: could be smart because no one's calling them asking for

406
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: their players. Really they're calling and saying, hey, we see

407
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: your salary cap, take this, take this, So then you

408
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: got to be smart. I mean, these are our only

409
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: options here. I guess people maybe asking about Kobe White.

410
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to make them seem smart because all

411
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: you all you're doing is hearing can can.

412
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: We give you?

413
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: This? Can we give you? So maybe they're just smart,

414
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: you know, just because of osmosis here, you know what

415
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: I mean, and then this situation. But I yeah, I

416
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: do wonder they were smart. They did good on this trade.

417
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: They did good.

418
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: They giving up nothing and getting something, They took stuff.

419
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: They did a great job.

420
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Yes, they help help facilitate it.

421
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: For sure.

422
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: Anything else on this one, No, no, okay, King's Calf's bulls.

423
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: We had another one Sunday delivered a little trade for

424
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: US sickos the Atlanta Hawks Cca ship Guard and No

425
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: Dunk's favorite and John Hollands your favorite Viet Crachi to

426
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: the Portland Trailblazers for Duop Wreath and two future second

427
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: round picks. I thought it was quite funny to see

428
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: how many people did not realize Duop Wreath underwent season

429
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: ending foot surgery this week.

430
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 2: Or last week.

431
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: I should say he's likely to be waived, I would think,

432
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of people that.

433
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: Didn't know that.

434
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: Like all right, breath, he could play like, well, I'm

435
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: not gonna be this year anyway. V Crazie obviously the

436
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: key part of this, and the Blazers grab him.

437
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: Do you have thoughts? Do you like this move for Portland?

438
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: Portland could use a shooter, that's for sure. Let him

439
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: rip from the outside because they take a lot of threes,

440
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 2: but they don't make a lot of threes, and VT

441
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 2: likes to do that. That's for sure.

442
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: He's making forty four point six percent of his catch

443
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: and shoot three pointers this season, which ranks very high

444
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: across the league in terms of guys that shoot, like

445
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: a de amount.

446
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: Of them open up the floor yep, for Denny a

447
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: little bit more to provide him a little space. I mean,

448
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: that's what it comes down to. It's unfortunate Duop Breath

449
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: is out because literally the Hawks would play him. I

450
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: imagine a little bit. You know, these trades they make

451
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 2: me realize, well, dup Breath doesn't have a w at

452
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 2: the beginning of his last name, I totally thought he did.

453
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: I thought it was wri Ath v. Craiate's while that

454
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 2: we see guys that we watched in front of us

455
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: playing in the G League in the NBA moving around

456
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: people want them. That's also wild to me when I

457
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: see some of these trades. But yeah, that's it is

458
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: also a move for the Hawks that they're just saving

459
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: some bucks here and getting some picks for it.

460
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Hawks get back their own twenty twenty seven

461
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: second round pick, which had been sent to the Celtics

462
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: in a twenty twenty three Draft night trade. Atlanta grabbed

463
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: the rights to Mogay with that second round pick that

464
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: got then moved around everywhere. I don't know how many

465
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: times rerouted. Good luck keeping track of that stuff. But

466
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: it comes back to them, And yeah, Vito team friendly

467
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: contract trade and obviously can shoot and he can play.

468
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: I mean we've talked about him before, way more than

469
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: most people.

470
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the contracts might be a little two team friendly

471
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: because I don't think he has any guaranteed money left

472
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: after this season, which means it's easy to slice him

473
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: off at the end of the year if they want to.

474
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 3: But this is just a good, solid trade if you

475
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: are a sick oh sell high by the Hawks to

476
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 3: move vit crazy shooting forty two percent from three this year.

477
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: Once they did the Tray Young trade and got Corey

478
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 3: Kispert back, it's like, Okay, we have to pay this guy.

479
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: Let's see if we can get anything for Vet Creachy.

480
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: They get a couple of second round picks and basically

481
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 3: they're going to use Dwop Wreath as a guy to wave.

482
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: And then they move Christian coloco in from a two

483
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: way contract to a real contract.

484
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: He's been pretty solid for the Hawks.

485
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 3: So good for the Hawks business side of things, and

486
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: good for Portland to get a guy who can shoot,

487
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: like Tass said. Their thirtieth and three point percentage this year.

488
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 3: Veats like a rotation guys, like an eight or ninth man,

489
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: but we're talking about like a CD Sosoco, another G

490
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: League legend, Chris Murray, Ryan Repair. Those guys have fewer

491
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 3: combined three pointers than vet.

492
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 2: Dust this season. So cool, good work. Yeah, all right,

493
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: at least we got some trades.

494
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's something this week trade deadline on Thursday,

495
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: we will be doing sort of an all day live

496
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: stream here from the Classic Factory starting at ten a m. Eastern,

497
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: going all the way through to the actual trade deadline

498
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 1: buzzer at three pm Eastern. So we're gonna go absolutely

499
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: mental in here.

500
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: We have some fun.

501
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is at least we got something over

502
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: the weekend.

503
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: The bus is already here, the buzz is here for

504
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 2: trade deadline week. I felt it. I felt it walking

505
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: in today.

506
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: Do you think Giannis is going to get traded today?

507
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: As soon as we log.

508
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: Off, man, he's there till the summer. Allright, it's got

509
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: to be an offer. There's got to be an offer.

510
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: Let's hear your thoughts on those two minor trades. But

511
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: let's talk about the All Star reserves. Those were also

512
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: announced over the weekend. Once the he Creechy trade goes down,

513
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: you should have to wait a day to announce the

514
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: All Star reserves. But the twenty twenty six All Star

515
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Game reserves were announced on NBC Slash Peacock during the

516
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: premiere of.

517
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Basketball last night.

518
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: Seven players from each conference named as reserves, selections made

519
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: by NBA coaches without regard to position. So let's show

520
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: them to you here. I'll read them for the podcast listener.

521
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Your Eastern Conference reserves Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Johnson, Karl, Anthony Towns,

522
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: Pascal Siakam makes this team. Norman Powells, Dorman Norman, Scottie Barnes,

523
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: and Jalen Duran. Those are your seven Eastern Conference reserves.

524
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: In the West, it's Anthony Edwards as a no brainer.

525
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: Jamal Murray Kitchener's finest. Vince Carter said on the broadcast,

526
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. He makes his first All Star Game.

527
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Chet Holmgren does as well. For the Thunder Kevin Durant

528
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: mikes his I don't know sixteenth. Devin Booker made the list.

529
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: Denny Avdya of the Blazers and Lebron James sneaks in there.

530
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it was the last pick. I think they

531
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: sort of announced season the order of total votes from

532
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: the coaches.

533
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

534
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: Lebron makes his twenty second consecutive All Star Game. So

535
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: your takeaways and your snubs. Of course, what jumps out

536
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: to you. TK from the reserves announced.

537
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: Siakam was the biggest surprise I think in the Eastern Conference,

538
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 3: just because it was like, how are they going to

539
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: get to enough All Stars here in the Eastern Conference.

540
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: We had MPG when we did this a couple of

541
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 3: weeks ago. But I'm fine with Siakam going over MPJ.

542
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 3: Then that's totally fell off. Seacam has better like impact stats,

543
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 3: advanced stats, box score goes to MPJ, but Sakam has

544
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: the pedigree. I would personally argue that Indiana has been

545
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: disappointing this season, even given all their injuries. Look what

546
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 3: Boston's doing. They didn't fall off the way Indiana did. Meanwhile, Brooklyn,

547
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 3: I think has still been surprising, even though they've had

548
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 3: a rough stretch lately. But it ain't that big of

549
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: a deal Siaka over the MPJ.

550
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: The East released their picks. That's exactly what I was

551
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: thinking I was, and a couple of weeks ago, I

552
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: was looking at Michael porter Junior up against the Magic.

553
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: I was looking for somebody to take from the Orlando Magic. Somebody,

554
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: where's my Desmond Bane. He didn't have an all Star

555
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 2: worthy season, but I thought when it came down to it,

556
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 2: we'd get a Franz Wagner in there. But Franz has

557
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: been hurt, so it hasn't happened. So you know, Trey

558
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: went hard on Michael Porty and I was okay then,

559
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: thinking I'd get a few weeks to see what happened

560
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: with the Orlando Magic. But really Pascal Siakam was the

561
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: one who went and grabbed it. They'd had a seven

562
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: and eight January. The Indiana Pacers did good. That's good

563
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: for that good time, So they're basically at the same

564
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: record as the Poopy Brooklyn Nets, which is sad. But

565
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: you watch Indiana play, they go to Pascal Siakam in

566
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: the mid range to allow him to operate. He's their guy,

567
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: and he's so good at it. So I understand why

568
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference coaches made this pick.

569
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: And sticking with the Eastern Conference takeaways before we go

570
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: to the West Norman Powell now the fourth oldest first

571
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: time All Star since like nineteen sixty. I think everybody

572
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: was just old back in the late fifties or something

573
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: like that. But Sam Cassell was thirty four when he

574
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: made his first All Star Game, Anthony Mason thirty four,

575
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: Kyle Korver thirty three, and now Norm thirty two.

576
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: I've talked about this before.

577
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Weeks ago when we were wondering if Norman pell would

578
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: make his first All Star Game. So that's cool. And

579
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: in addition to that, I think it was trill bro

580
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: dude tweeted last night people are going to look back

581
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: at the twenty nineteen Raptors and think this was the

582
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: greatest team in the history of the sport. Well that's true,

583
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: trill Bro. But six all stars now on that squad

584
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: Kawhi Lowry, Fred Van Vliet, Marcasol Siakam and now Norman Powell,

585
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: and then three all defensive guys in Serge Ibaka. Can't

586
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: believe it never made All Star game. Did shock me

587
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: a little bit? Danny Green and then og Anobi so

588
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: all those guys have made an All defensive team. So yeah,

589
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: six All Stars in that squad rotation guys were talking about.

590
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 2: And then the other guys were good too.

591
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Oji didn't play much obviously championship run, but pretty impressive.

592
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: Six first time All Stars in total. Two okay, just

593
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: a good percentage.

594
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: I like that.

595
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: I like some new blood, but then a lot of

596
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: the ogs one quarter so Western Conference. Who's the biggest

597
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: snub here? A biggest surprise TK from the West. Of

598
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: those seven guys, I think.

599
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 3: The biggest surprise is Lebron getting in over Kawhi Leonard.

600
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: Games played pretty even Lebron thirty one games versus thirty

601
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 3: five for Kawhi. I saw John Hollinger say about the

602
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: Lebron selection, It's the most bizarre and indefensible selection of

603
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: my adult life. He also said this is the worst

604
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: reserve choice of the century, adding Lebron over Kawhi Leonard.

605
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Kawi has been awesome when he has played.

606
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 3: Lebron has been good when he plays. But Lebron's Lebron

607
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 3: and Kawhi Leonard is underneath investigation by the NBA. I'm

608
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: not super surprised by it personally.

609
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: I wonder how much that came in to play with

610
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,239
Speaker 1: the coaches when they said, well, yeah, yeah, I mean

611
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: the more the h the guy has averaging twenty seven points.

612
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 3: He's killing He's like fifty forty ninety basically, but he's

613
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: been a top ten player in the league when he's

614
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 3: been out there.

615
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, strong words from Johnny Holly. Yeah. I think

616
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 2: that comes from somebody who watches every single night of basketball,

617
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 2: and I think when we're looking just at the coaches

618
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: and what they see, I think part of it is

619
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: the Clippers stunk for a long time and they kind

620
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: of are already making their picks. And I know Lebron

621
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 2: wasn't playing for a big chunk of it, but Lebron

622
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: just gets the check because he is Lebron. Coaches respect

623
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 2: Lebron James. I get why they respect Lebron James. But

624
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 2: I do want to see the ballots. I would love

625
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: to see them. They're not going to release those. Come on,

626
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 2: walk in there and grab the ballots.

627
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: I didn't realize the way they do the coach voting

628
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: is they do it in order of like who they want.

629
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: The top two get five points per vote, the next

630
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: two get like three points per vote, so it is like, yeah,

631
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: like similar to the MVP ballot. I didn't know that,

632
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 3: Hollinger wrote, all about it.

633
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I had no idea. I also do.

634
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: Think like I don't have anything to back this up,

635
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: but my gut says they announced those in order of

636
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: like total votes they did receive from these coaches when

637
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: they did it last name, because you see the NBA

638
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: when they tell you the All Star reserves, always alphabetical order, always,

639
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: But NBC and Peacock they were announcing them like Anthony

640
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: Edwards was the first name they said. It's like, okay, yeah,

641
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: of course he should have probably been starting, maybe over

642
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: Curry and Jamal Murray. And then I think as it

643
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: went down, I think it was like less and less

644
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: and less and Lebron was the last name. Now, maybe

645
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: they did that for drama, but I think they I

646
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,479
Speaker 1: think that's what him just like probably sneaking in over

647
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: an Elprin Schengun or Kawhi Leonard. That's what my gut says.

648
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: So I sort of like how they did that interested on.

649
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Them and with the waiting system, Like it's definitely possible

650
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: that coaches were choosing between Kawhi and Harden for a

651
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: Clippers All Star, right, and Harden's having a great season

652
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: as well. Dude's averaging twenty five a game. I can't

653
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: believe that. Actually he's been like twenty eight twenty won

654
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: a game for the past couple of years, but he

655
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: has carried the team when Kawhi was out. It's complicated

656
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: by the fact that when Kawhi was out, the team sucked.

657
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: So that's kind of hard to say. But if they're

658
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: splitting votes and they're at the bottom of the ballot,

659
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: you can see how Lebron would sneak in, which is

660
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: weird because this Lebron.

661
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so we know we're going to get a

662
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: twenty fifth fall Star because Giannis is not playing in

663
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: this game, and so we therefore know it's going to

664
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: be an international player.

665
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: But it's funny with you, honest, because there was no

666
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: sort of MRI done, no report about the MRI as

667
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: to what happened, maybe four to six weeks and then

668
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: we haven't heard of things. Yeah, he probably just wanted

669
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: to sit. There was a team you say. There's a

670
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: teeny tiny smile as well when he told the media

671
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 2: in front of him, I'm out four to six weeks.

672
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: I know that I'm going to get the MRI done,

673
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: and that's what and that comes from my NBA experience,

674
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: and then he smiled a little bit. Now, I don't

675
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: know what he's.

676
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: Smiles, what you're reading into him, like I'm just gonna

677
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: shut this down until I'm traded.

678
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you're totally reading into it, or maybe he's

679
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: just smiling because he liked the way he said, that's

680
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: my that's talking from my NBA experience, And I don't know,

681
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: maybe because he just wanted to seem knowledgeable. But when

682
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: does that happen? But that never happened. We get mad

683
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: and then we don't we don't see the results from

684
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: the m R point. Oh yeah, yeah, it was more

685
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: like a shutdown. I'm done until the trade deadline because

686
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm older and I get injured a lot, and I

687
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: want to be out of here. Yeah.

688
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: Probably, so okay, so this is fascinating. Now though, if

689
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: Towns who has played international basketball for Dominican Republic, and

690
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: Norman Powell, who has played or wants to play right

691
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: for Jamaica, has he played on a roster.

692
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: He might have played it.

693
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, qualifier tournament. Yeah, so Towns in Powell if they

694
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: are they're American born players. So if they're on the

695
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: American team or one of the American teams. Then that

696
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: means we would have eight international players Luca Jokic, Wemby,

697
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: Jannis Sga, Murray Siakam and Denny Avdia. And like we said,

698
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: if Joannis doesn't play in this, who knows what is

699
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: actual status is, but you would assume then elprin ch

700
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: Gun will be the selection unless it has to come

701
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: from the same conference. I don't think so, why would

702
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: it matter? So I feel like she Gun's most likely

703
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: to replace the honest, But then again, if Powell or

704
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: cat Or considered like an international player, and then it

705
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: could be a Kawhi a bump for Kawhi to replace.

706
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: So we'll find out. I think they said next week

707
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: the actual teams, which it actually matters for this to

708
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: depend on whether Kawhi or probably she Gun is the

709
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: pick the replacement for you, honest. If he doesn't play,

710
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: that weird.

711
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: That is really weird.

712
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: And apparently Donovan Mitchell is advocating that he can be

713
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: an international players. Grandmother is Panamanian.

714
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 2: I believe yes. He seemed very excited about the possibility

715
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: of playing for Panama in interviews. He would have loved that.

716
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he's going to be team World. Sorry,

717
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: in the pecking order, it's going to reprobably go Cat

718
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: most the best chance to play for World, and then

719
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Powell and then Donovan Mitchell and I think they'll all

720
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: be on the American team like they probably shouldn't.

721
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: Well, very weird. Yeah, as far as Donald Mitchell goes,

722
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he's ever played for Panama ever in

723
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: any sort of international competition.

724
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: They played for Team USA.

725
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: Well, yes, he's definitely played for TEA. As far as

726
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: Kat goes, he plays for them every he plays for

727
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 2: the Dominican REPUBLICA.

728
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: That's why I put him like the most likely maybe,

729
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: But also I don't think they will because it's like

730
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: they don't need more big.

731
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: Guys on the world team. They have a million of

732
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: them and the best ones. So they have set themselves

733
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: up very well to be able to decide. Okay, international

734
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: roster a lot of bigs. Now, let's get a little

735
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: guy in there. I mean, who are they gonna put

736
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: on there? Though? Shangun?

737
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Shangun replacing you? Honest, yeah,

738
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: I guess. But the Kahi part is fascinating. But like,

739
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: is the NBA just going to be like blinders on

740
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: don't want to draw more attention to the whole obviously

741
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: investigation into the Clippers.

742
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: That's his arena. They're playing in his arena. That's the

743
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: weird part.

744
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: It's a catch twenty two. Yeah, because if he's not there,

745
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, is he not there because he's under investigation.

746
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 3: And if he is there, it's like, tell us about

747
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: the investigation, exactly what we're supposed to do.

748
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: So we also learned that the two USA teams will

749
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: be referred to as stars and stripes. Oh yeah, they

750
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: said that. They stepped that in there yesterday Maria Taylor did.

751
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: I saw and they had the They sort of showed

752
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: the graphic said like you could see stars on the

753
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: one USA team and then the world team and then

754
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: stripes on the other USA team. So I think what

755
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: we should do is we should draft those teams at

756
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: some point this week, the two American shirts, right, just yeah,

757
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: we got all the American pool now of players and

758
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: we can draft them, see who does the best.

759
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 3: I also saw that Mitch Johnson is the coach from

760
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: the Western Conference, but they still don't know how they're

761
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 3: picking the third coach. This is awesome. The All Star

762
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: Game is two weeks away and they're like, yeah, we

763
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 3: don't know how we picked reserves or the third coach

764
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 3: that's going to be there, but we'll figure it out.

765
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: We really don't need coaches if we're being there.

766
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 3: No, no, we don't. Bill Murray coached the Stripes team.

767
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 3: There you go like that, all right, So let's hear

768
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: your thoughts. Who are you most upset about when it

769
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: comes to snubs? Is it Kawhi, is it Sheng Goon?

770
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior?

771
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 2: Who else?

772
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I guess Julius Randall very little buzz for him. Bam

773
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: maybe bam Adebayo, Yeah, and then any.

774
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: Of the magic players, the two like Norman Powell over

775
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 3: Bam is one of the like we have to pick

776
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 3: one from this team. We had Bam I think the

777
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 3: first time we ever talked about all Star reserves, and

778
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 3: then we flipped to Norman Powell. So fine with us,

779
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 3: I would have to.

780
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: I think Norm was helped out by the way last

781
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: year's incredible year with yep the Clippers and not making

782
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: it too and I think that carried over a little bit.

783
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then Katie versus shng Gun I think was

784
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: probably a question for the Rockets numbers pretty similar. Katie

785
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: leads Houston and scoring, Shenggun leads them in rebounding and assists.

786
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: Katie leads in some advanced stats. Shnggun leads in some

787
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 3: advanced stats. Kevin Durant is Kevin Durant, and I think

788
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 3: that's probably what took it over the edge for him.

789
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: And then we're saying, like, maybe Lebron got in over

790
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: kwhy shngun like are saying like, well, what about Like

791
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: Devin Booker maybe was a surprise to some people, but

792
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: obviously he's like the leader of the Suns team. Maybe

793
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: his stats haven't like wow, you maybe, but there were

794
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 1: other people saying, well, you could have taken Kawhi or

795
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: Shannggun over him as well, and the coach is elected

796
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: not to.

797
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: But we had them all on our squad and we

798
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: did it. Phoenix Suns are ten games above five hundred.

799
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: Their best player's got to be there.

800
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: In my opinion, so Dylan Brooks should be there.

801
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm kidding.

802
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: Is he kitchen He's not Kitchener's finus or is he

803
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: from Miss Saga.

804
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: The Dylan Boks Dylan, I don't know, I don't know.

805
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: I think he's a Saga boy.

806
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 2: The bottom boy is a sagr boy.

807
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 3: I think that, says mississaiga On.

808
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: I realize that. Where do you go, Philip Bocock.

809
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and when we come back,

810
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: we'll do NBA weekend winners and losers.

811
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: Are you ready for? Wasn't football? Super moost coming?

812
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 3: Kick off?

813
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: Is too late?

814
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: Six thirty pm, way too late. That's too cheat? Are

815
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: you six thirty six thirty? Yeah? Okay, Grandpa. I wanted

816
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: earlier in the day. I wanted a long term, a

817
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: whole day thing. I don't want to a whole day

818
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: I don't need hours.

819
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: Bowl.

820
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Bubby Bowl might be the best part of

821
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. The final chance to place your bets

822
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: before the NFL season closes. Its tap is this week.

823
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: It's tapped. I say tapp, but I was like that

824
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 2: sort of works out.

825
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: People taps dripping over these last couple of days with

826
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: the super cold weather we had here in Atlanta, testedt's

827
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: keep a tiny stream going.

828
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: Oh you're not. I don't know.

829
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: I read conflicting reports on the drip to the tiny stream.

830
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: It's got to be stronger than it dripped anyway. Super

840
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: do what we usually do on Monday's podcast, and that's

Speaker 1: get a start. Who's your big winner of the weekend.

843
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 3: I got the Oklahoma City Thunder as a winner of

844
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 3: the weekend. Take you behind the Podcast. I was picking

845
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: a winner from Denver Okasee.

846
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 2: Regardless of all that game went.

847
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: Oh it could have been Jokich had an awesome game

848
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: on Friday and his return, but kind of struggled against

849
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: the Thunder. But I am giving it to Oka See

850
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 3: ultimately because they did play great, got to win on

851
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: the road against Denver and one of their best wins lately.

852
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 3: It was the three point shooting that really did it

853
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 3: for OKA. See, they went nineteen of forty eight from three.

854
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 3: That is their sixth most makes this season, fourth most attempts.

855
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: They've been struggling to even get attempts up lately, so

856
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: to get up forty eight was pretty huge. Basically, Denver

857
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: was just putting two on the ball anytime she goes

858
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: just Alexander had it and he would either find a

859
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 3: dude for a release bowl three pointer or give it

860
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: to Jalen Williams and he would find a guy for

861
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 3: a three pointer. It was the third quarter really that

862
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 3: was the difference. OKAYC went eight of thirteen from three,

863
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 3: and at one point they hit five straight threes on

864
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 3: possessions to blow the game open. Chet hit one, case

865
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 3: and Wallace hit one, then another one, Sga hit one,

866
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: and then finally Aaron Wiggins knocked one down as well.

867
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: Part of the reason OKC has been struggling since the

868
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 3: NBA Cup is they just haven't been shooting the ball well.

869
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: They've been in a major slump twenty first in three

870
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: point percentage since January first, thirty four percent on the

871
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 3: month in a couple of days, so to see them

872
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 3: shoot the ball the way they did, they looked impossible

873
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: to beat on this night, Denver. I do think that's

874
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: like the right defensive strategy. Make somebody else beat us,

875
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 3: make caseon. Wallace hit seven three pointers, which he did make.

876
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 3: U Dort makes some threes. Unfortunately they didn't take away

877
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 3: anything else. Shake Gildas Alexander went for thirty four on

878
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: eleven of sixteen shooting, also had thirteen assists. So even

879
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: though I understood what they were doing, they weren't really

880
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 3: doing it. What's the problem. So I think you throw

881
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 3: that in with Jokic looking ordinary, pretty great defense. I

882
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 3: thought by the Thunder it was either Hartenstein or Jay

883
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 3: Will guarding Jokic being physical with him, and then Chat

884
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: was just hanging out and helping on the backside. A

885
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: lot of guys injured on both sides for these teams,

886
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 3: but we had Sga out there, we had Jokic out there,

887
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: and the Thunder looked like the better team for sure.

888
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, watching that game, I just thought, well, the NBA

889
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: is a winner. We're getting Sunday Night Basketball, it is

890
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 2: now being promoted as Sunday Night Basketball, and they're getting

891
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: the broadcasts to free over the air networks here on

892
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 2: NBC more and more year to year as their new

893
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: TV deal has kicked in. They're called exposure, as Adam

894
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 2: Silver called it preseason, these over the air broadcasts and

895
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: it's helping I mean Sunday Night basketball, it's now the

896
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 2: new Sunday Night football and didn't used to be called

897
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 2: Sunday Night basketball. But it makes sense to just tap

898
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: into these network television stations here, well NBC specifically, and

899
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 2: I considered them a winner because NBC, this is what

900
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 2: you're going to get in the Western Conference Final. You're

901
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 2: getting to broadcast the Western Conference Final this year. NBC

902
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 2: along with Peacock has got to cover all the bases

903
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 2: here and.

904
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: You think we'll see thunder Nuther, Yeah, I think so.

905
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, Shay was in that championship mode. I mean he

906
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: just looked like he was he was locked in. I

907
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 2: thought the Peyton Watson defense when they did get him

908
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 2: a little one on one, was was pretty solid. The

909
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 2: lengthier guy to get on him as they try something

910
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: out when they don't have, you know, their three starters.

911
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: But it did hurt like one pass away that they

912
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: were just a little too slow from getting out to

913
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: Cason Wallace or you know, they were the bringing the

914
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: double and they're they're locking in on Shae, but they're

915
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 2: just a little too slow to get out to Case

916
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 2: and Wallas, who had his career high because of that,

917
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: because Shay was awesome at finding those guys. But she

918
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 2: was just great. I mean, he was. He was breaking ankles,

919
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: he was breaking the andium shoes of our guy. You know,

920
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 2: Andyum do you know Andyim? Are you familiar with and

921
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: anyone familiar with Spencer Jones? Yeah? Yeah, I could think

922
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: of Andium, but I couldn't think of Spencer Jones for

923
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: a second anyway. Spencer Jones Andiums were crushed. He was,

924
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: he was locked crushed in. He was lock Yeah.

925
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: And this was our first thunder Nuggets game of the season.

926
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: So they got three more still and they've really spaced

927
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: him out here. I think they play later this month,

928
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: and then they play in March, and then they play

929
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: in April. You're the end of the regular season. See

930
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: if that last one matters at all, but.

931
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: A couple more.

932
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: I think those next two are on ESPN and then

933
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: back on the cock so they get another one of these,

934
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, see he gets to win. This guy

935
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: was waiting until late Sunday night they picked the winner.

936
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: Came down to that final game.

937
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, what am I supposed to pick?

938
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: I was totally with you. I was doing the same thing,

939
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 2: and I know you tend to do that. You're a

940
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 2: Sunday Sunday person. Yeah, you're the latest of us. All.

941
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: Something happens on Friday, Like, did it happen, it's got

942
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: to be very impressive.

943
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Or the only show of record for it. So I

944
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: mean we make note of it.

945
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: We try to.

946
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're right.

947
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if it happens on a Sunday or even

948
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: a Saturday, it's more likely to make the Monday Show

949
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: than a Friday.

950
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: Night big game or big Rail time. This is Sunday

951
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 2: night basketball. It's like Sunday Night football.

952
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: Sunday Night basketball is back, well not next week, but

953
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: then it's back again, right.

954
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 2: Fay not doing a Sunday night basketball the super Bowl,

955
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: I'd imagine not, especially with that late in the Olympics. Yeah,

956
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: the Olympics. It's a great point.

957
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know if we'll see Sunday night basketball

958
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: for weeks now.

959
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 3: It's soft launch. Yeah, Friends and Family open kind of

960
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 3: an underwhelming turnout. I thought for the OKC postgame interview,

961
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 3: there was like a guy in warm ups Brooks Barnheider

962
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: was out there. All the good guys are like, Shait,

963
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 3: just go talk. We don't need to talk right now.

964
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: Wow, that's it. That's all they had was Brooks. They

965
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: had like three guys.

966
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: Brooks guy in wre like in a not a not

967
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 3: in Oklahoma City sweatsuit, just like a sweatsuit. And I

968
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 3: forget who the other one was, but it was it

969
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 3: was like the fifteenth men. Wow, coming out there. I

970
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: guess they need their shine too. Sunday Night basketball.

971
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 2: Winner for me this weekend was Jared Allen, whoa Jared

972
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: Allen had a forty spot, a career high. They were

973
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: just going to him and he was literally out sprint

974
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: guys yes day. He's going right at Donovan, clinging whit

975
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 2: he could. He was just showing it all. He was

976
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: clearing with that big body. He showed you. He showed

977
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: a post move where he went ball fake to the

978
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 2: left and then went back to his left hook shot.

979
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: A hook shot with his left hand from Jared Allen.

980
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 2: He was just ready to fight. Forty points, seventeen boards.

981
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: I have assists four blocks. That's a wow.

982
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 3: Boy.

983
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: That is a whoa boy. Twenty nine minutes and thirty

984
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: seconds of play. I saw it. Was the first player

985
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 2: in NBA history with a forty fifteen to five and

986
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 2: under thirty minutes. We're going down at the second. Please

987
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 2: done that.

988
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's got all those other records for like

989
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: fastest sort of like crazy stats, but he doesn't have

990
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: that one.

991
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: But he probably plays over thirty minutes at the end

992
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: of the game. Oh yeah, yeah, right, anyway, awesome night.

993
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 2: And they interviewed Jared Allen, Well, they didn't interview Jared Allen.

994
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 2: They had the MIC's going when Jared Allen was in

995
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 2: the locker room saying his thing to the Cavs after

996
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 2: they splash him with water, and he said, I appreciate

997
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: y'all fellas. I don't score for myself a lot. Tonight's

998
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: my game night. Everybody got so excited.

999
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't seem like a guy to swear it's probably

1000
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: not a good f bomb.

1001
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's one of.

1002
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,280
Speaker 3: Us, long time f bomb.

1003
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. I bleeped it out because they also bleeped it

1004
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 2: out on the Cavs social media. There was the decision,

1005
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: but the Cavs are going at the right time. Obviously

1006
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: there's there they're rolling. But this is Jared Allen's one

1007
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 2: game night where he has a one game of season,

1008
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: I should say, where he has a monster.

1009
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: Does feel like he has one of these one or

1010
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: two a season where he's has these crazy lines where

1011
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: it's like a yeah, a thirty twenty type game or

1012
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: this forty and seventeen with all the blocks.

1013
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for one of these. And we've discussed for months,

1014
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: is this the season that they decide to move on

1015
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: from the front court of Evan Mobley and Jared Allen

1016
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: or the back court of Dono Mitchell and Darius Carland.

1017
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't see it happening. And in either situation, they

1018
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:37,399
Speaker 2: don't ever need to.

1019
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: Move on because unfortunately one is always injured in the

1020
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: front court or the back court. They rarely get all

1021
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: about there.

1022
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's a good point. Look, well, will they

1023
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 2: and ken they trade Darius Carland with an injured toe?

1024
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 2: Are people just you know, saying he's gonna be fine

1025
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: and take a chance on Darius Carland? And with Jared Allen,

1026
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 2: it's a good question as to whether or not they're

1027
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 2: just going to go to Evan Mobley instead of Jared

1028
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: Allen as their five type of thing. So I think

1029
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 2: it's a fair question. But right now he ain't going

1030
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: anywhere because that's the first forty to fifteen and five

1031
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 2: and under thirty minutes in NBA. Yes, yeah, they had

1032
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: a good game, obviously, obviously a lot it's not a

1033
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: lot of It wasn't post moves. Is just bang bank

1034
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 2: bang offensive rebound off that type of thing, because that's

1035
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 2: who Jared Bllen is.

1036
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had sixteen makes. Six of them were dunks,

1037
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: and I went through and watched all the makes. I

1038
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 3: think he took ten dribbles, So I wonder where this

1039
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 3: ranks on, like fewest dribbles in a forty point game.

1040
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson has the record plays up there like Shaq

1041
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 3: and Wilt. I'm sure have forty point games where all

1042
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 3: they're doing is dunking, just like he was. But it

1043
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 3: was just leaving Donovan clinging in the dust of the

1044
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 3: entire time, Cleveland huffing and puffing, getting back and just

1045
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 3: dunk after dunk for Jared Allen. So this was a

1046
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 3: nice and nice one.

1047
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have nice fines from jaal En Tyson A

1048
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: lot of them too, and that's a big reason why

1049
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 2: they said, DeAndre Hunter, you're out of here. We got

1050
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: a new guy. Joe and Tyson is our new guy.

1051
00:47:59,080 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 2: He's fine.

1052
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of like mini winners to check out.

1053
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: You guys, chime in on any of this. You already

1054
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: brought up. Yokic, who did return over the weekend. On

1055
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: Friday Night, dominated the Clippers in his first game back

1056
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,959
Speaker 1: from knee injury, which he suffered in late December. Thirty

1057
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: one points, twelve boards, five assists in twenty five minutes

1058
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: of play for Yo Kid. So good return. Didn't play

1059
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: as well obviously against the thunder, Joel Embiid scored a

1060
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: season high forty points to lead the Sixers to a

1061
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: victory over the Pelicans. This guy man came on a

1062
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: little too later, otherwise he would be an All Star snub.

1063
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he is for some people, but obviously started slowly

1064
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: and that was part of the game plan. But he

1065
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: is playing his best basketball in a long time. So

1066
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets are a winner. Yes, extended their win streak

1067
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: to six straight. That's the longest Hornets win streak in

1068
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: like a decade. And they got that win over the Spurs.

1069
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: The Hornets also are never playing a night game ever. Again,

1070
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: all they play is like these crazy like twelve o'clocks

1071
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: and three o'clock. So there's been a lot of poor

1072
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: weather down here in the South that's affected them. They've

1073
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: like bumped up a lot of star time to try

1074
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 1: and get people in safely and out.

1075
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: And it's working because today's game has been bumped up.

1076
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 2: I know.

1077
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: I think they play at three o'clock today and it

1078
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a night game. But the Hornets

1079
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: are hot right now. Yeah, and we talked a little

1080
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: bit about them last week. Any thoughts on them, Brandon

1081
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: Miller again, another great.

1082
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: Game, Yeah, game and a half out of the tenth seed,

1083
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 3: which is the Hawks right now. They play here in

1084
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: Atlanta on Saturday's.

1085
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 2: Right.

1086
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 3: I go through the Hawks schedule at the beginning of

1087
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 3: every year, highlight the games.

1088
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: I would go on and go and see.

1089
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 3: I guarantee you I don't have the Charlotte Hornets one

1090
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 3: highlighted from October, but if I were doing it now,

1091
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 3: i'd be an instant highlight. I might be there anyway.

1092
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: Well, our buddy John John's coming to town this week,

1093
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: so we're trying to get tickets to that game. So

1094
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: we're all going probably.

1095
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 3: I'll see you there.

1096
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 2: Okay, what a weekend.

1097
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 3: I know you got your weekend Olympics opening ceremony Friday night.

1098
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,240
Speaker 3: That's right, biggest game of the weekend. Hawks versus Hornets

1099
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 3: Saturday night, and then a late start Super Bowl on Sunday.

1100
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 2: It's right. Sports are back, Sports are back.

1101
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: Maybe another winner to the Piston set a franchise record.

1102
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: They beat the Nets by fifty three last night. Fifty

1103
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: three point route there, Detroit Piston. That's a big route.

1104
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: That's a franchise. It's been around for a long time.

1105
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of good teams from Detroit. That's

1106
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: a record for them. Winner to the Celtics and Bucks

1107
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: competing in the inaugural NBA Pioneers Classics. So this is

1108
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: going to be an annual game to honor the league's

1109
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: first black players in Chuck Cooper, Earl Lloyd and Nathaniel Sweetwater.

1110
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: Clifton I thought that was sort of a cool presentation.

1111
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 2: Now the game.

1112
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: The game was a blowout, and asked was she lacking

1113
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: by the Celtics on the Bucks but cool of the

1114
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: league here On February first Black History Month to do this,

1115
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: and I guess it's going to be a thing going forward.

1116
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 2: That's a winner.

1117
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: Five foot seven Yuki Kawamura winning a jump ball for

1118
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: your Chicago Bulls. Oh yeah, I said, five foot seven, guys.

1119
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: This is one of the tiniest guys in a long time,

1120
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: tiniest guy to ever play for the Bulls short of

1121
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: the Nate rob By inches. And he went and got

1122
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: it timed to perfectly.

1123
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, six for five. Casper jackonas can't jump apparently went insane.

1124
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was Eric Collins mode. I want to give

1125
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,720
Speaker 1: a Winner of the weekend to the Low Utah Jazz

1126
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: Fan Club. I don't know if you guys saw this. Uh,

1127
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: with the help of the owner of the Jazz there's

1128
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: like this big group of jazz fans, especially in Uruguay

1129
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: and other South American countries that came up for games

1130
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: over the weekend and Friday night against the Nets. They

1131
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: had like a soccer like atmosphere going. There's like only

1132
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: thirty of them, that's all it takes sometimes and like

1133
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: they had the chance going like it was a really

1134
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: good scene. So that was very cool that they did that.

1135
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 1: So shout out to them. And then finally the Knicks

1136
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 1: taking care of the Lakers on Sunday, one more winner

1137
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: matched the season high, their sixth straight win for the Knicks,

1138
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: most of them coming pretty easily, and they finally beat

1139
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: a Lakers team that had a lead going into the

1140
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So the first l all season where that

1141
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: was taken back from them and victory was snatched from them.

1142
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, the nationally televised game, Nicks came through, got

1143
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: it done. So there's a bunch of little mini winners

1144
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: for you mini winnies.

1145
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wonder if the league will make sure

1146
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 2: that Wemby's games aren't bumped up the way they were

1147
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 2: in the way it was against the Charlotte Hornets. Ever again,

1148
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 2: h he like snaps. Apparently he's a man of schedule,

1149
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 2: and that's.

1150
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: He likes his meditation too. His naps regimented, Well, what

1151
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: are they? They couldn't get out of what they were

1152
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: in Charlotte, weren't they?

1153
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 2: They were stuck. The Spurs were because they were trying

1154
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 2: to get back, so they made it earlier.

1155
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: No, I know, No, the Spurs game was delayed.

1156
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they played like six hours late yesterday because they

1157
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 3: got stuck and they had like plain problems. They said,

1158
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 3: it was pretty scary. They had to touch down here

1159
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 3: in Atlanta switch plans.

1160
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was supposed to be an earlier game,

1161
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: I thought, and it kept getting pushed back.

1162
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 2: Do we have that they had a twelve pm Eastern start?

1163
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: What are you talking about though? Yesterday? No, Saturday, Saturday.

1164
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 3: I think that one may have gotten moved up earlier,

1165
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 3: and then the Sunday game got pushed back as they

1166
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 3: played last Yeah, they beat the Magic.

1167
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was supposed to be an earlier game, but

1168
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: it kept getting pushed back because they could not get

1169
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: back from Charlotte because of the bad weather in a

1170
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: game that was already bumped up. You're right, they've just

1171
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: been like through the ringer here in terms of start times.

1172
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: So it's been very difficult.

1173
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,280
Speaker 1: Also, this whole Lebron thing in Madison Square Garden is funny,

1174
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: like because he is not saying that this is his

1175
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: last season, right, we don't know, and uh, you know,

1176
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: people sort of are having to approach it like maybe

1177
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: it is so like the ticket sale prices were like

1178
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: insane for Madison Square Garden.

1179
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Lakers Nicks.

1180
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: It's going to be an expensive ticket always, but could

1181
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: be Lebron's last MSG game, like seats WI like up

1182
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: in the nosebleeds, like five hundred plus dollars and then

1183
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: obviously thousands of dollars to sit court side. So it's

1184
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: like he's Lebron's really doing the league of favor here.

1185
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: I just realized, like not one hundred percent saying it

1186
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: whether it is or not, because then you're gonna sort

1187
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: of treat it like maybe it.

1188
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 3: Is good way to get if you want to retirement.

1189
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 3: See that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, sounds good for Lebron.

1190
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's do NBA Weekend LOSERSK Paul George.

1191
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 3: Gets a loser of the weekend. He's been suspended twenty

1192
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 3: five games for violating the league's anti drug policy, and

1193
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 3: a statement George took full responsibility for taking an improper medication.

1194
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 3: I don't think we've heard yet what said medication would be.

1195
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 3: Who knows. Yeah, but it just goes to show you

1196
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 3: don't say anything good about the seventy six ers. We

1197
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 3: talked up how while they were playing in the middle

1198
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 3: of December, said they had a chance in the Eastern Conference.

1199
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 3: They instantly lost three straight games. On Friday, we said

1200
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 3: it's a good vibe season for the Sixers, and then

1201
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,919
Speaker 3: a guy gets suspended for a quarter of the year.

1202
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 3: Good news, Sixers did beat the Pelicans on Saturday in

1203
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 3: the first game of Paul George's suspension, and being went

1204
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 3: for forty points eleven rebounds. But Philadelphia is sixth place

1205
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 3: in the Eastern Conference right now, only three and a

1206
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 3: half games back of third. You would think maybe they

1207
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 3: could make a run at a top four seed had

1208
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 3: Paul George been healthy, But now it's more like, let's

1209
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 3: take a look at the other side of things. Two

1210
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 3: two games up on the eighth seed, heading out on

1211
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 3: a five game Western Conference road trip that starts tonight.

1212
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 3: Fifteen of the twenty five games that Paul George is

1213
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 3: gonna miss are going to be on the road. It

1214
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 3: has been a home heavy schedule to start the year

1215
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 3: for the Sixers and now they're going to have to

1216
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 3: go figure out how to win on the road, going

1217
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 3: into a trade deadline where they were probably looking to

1218
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 3: upgrade at Paul George's position. Anyways, Kelly Ubray will step

1219
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 3: into his role play a little bit more. He's been

1220
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 3: banged up this season, but he was back, he can

1221
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 3: play more ubre, but they still got to find a wing,

1222
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 3: and they're never going to find a guy who's able

1223
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 3: to switch the way Paul George is. He's probably been

1224
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 3: their best defender this season. Maybe Edge Combs in the

1225
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 3: mix as well. The only silver lining I can really

1226
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 3: find is that Paul George is supposed to come back

1227
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 3: with ten games left this season, so we'll probably be

1228
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 3: healthy for the playoffs.

1229
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he did say, quote Paul George. Over the

1230
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: past few years, I've discussed the importance of mental health,

1231
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an

1232
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking

1233
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,879
Speaker 1: an improper medication. So this was to combat mental health.

1234
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: But whatever this drug was on the list. He gets

1235
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: drug tested, probably after that game where he hit nine

1236
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: toy threes, because you only get drug tested, I think

1237
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 1: like randomly, like three or four times a season. Randomly,

1238
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: they see him have a great game, drug test him,

1239
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: and obviously this is why he gets the twenty five

1240
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: game suspension here. But yeah, he should be back, and

1241
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 1: you're right, he should be healthy. But they are fighting

1242
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: against the heat, the magic for the sixth seed right now, you.

1243
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, they don't lose him. I still don't think

1244
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 2: that ten games is a good sign, you know, not

1245
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 2: to go with what Michael Jordan said in his interviews

1246
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 2: here on NBC that you just want to have that

1247
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 2: camaraderie every single game, every single week. But I mean

1248
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 2: we have seen Paul George hurt before, you know, when

1249
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,439
Speaker 2: he broke his leg and then he tried to come back.

1250
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 2: I know it's an injury and it's different, but he

1251
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 2: tried to come back late in the season. He just

1252
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: wasn't right in the playoffs. I mean, ten games is

1253
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 2: not a lot for a guy who's older and not

1254
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 2: really all that together every single game. I mean, he

1255
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: has picked it up now, but I don't know, you

1256
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 2: just cut that off. I don't think that's just a

1257
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 2: great sign. Really great physically too, literally not playing basketball

1258
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 2: for two much.

1259
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 1: But he in theory could stay playing basketball because it's

1260
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: not a physical thing. It's not a broken knee or Yeah,

1261
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:11,720
Speaker 1: lust chance.

1262
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: He gets hurt while he's suspended. That's the main thing

1263
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 3: to me, Like, that's that's the biggest worry for the Sixers,

1264
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 3: is having all their guys healthy.

1265
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So hopefully he is back and They

1266
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 2: are a decent road team. You know they are playing

1267
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 2: in the road, but they're twelve and eight on the road.

1268
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: Somehow they get it all together. They obviously got good camaraderie,

1269
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 2: so it shouldn't be a bad thing. Yeah, that's all.

1270
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 2: That's all. We'll see what Paul George can do. Do

1271
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 2: you have a loser of the weekend? Yeah, we got

1272
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: to go for Kawhi Leonard. I'm giving it to Kawhi

1273
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: not named to being an All Star in his home

1274
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: team's arena, sad, he obviously is a great player. Had

1275
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 2: twenty one and twenty five this weekend in two games.

1276
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 2: Twenty seven consecutive games with twenty or more points for

1277
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard. That is a career high at his own

1278
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: believable to me that that's happening now at this point

1279
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: of Kawhi Leonards's career, that he's that consistent. He's just

1280
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: looking so good. He's going to looking fast, which you

1281
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 2: don't really ever say about Kawhi Leonard when he's splitting

1282
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 2: double teams and throwing down dunks. He's looking strong as

1283
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: he was against the Phoenix Suns, Jordan Goodwin literally draped

1284
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 2: all over him and He's able to fight through and

1285
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 2: shoot over top of him. And that's exactly what you

1286
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 2: need from Kawhi Leonard, because that's what Kawhi Leonard is.

1287
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 2: But to come through with a key bucket late in

1288
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 2: a fourth game, late in the fourth quarter with Jordan

1289
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 2: Goodwin on him being able to fight for three and

1290
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 2: a half quarters and be able to be that guy,

1291
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 2: being able to fight through every single game and be

1292
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 2: that guy who scores twenty or more. I just didn't

1293
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 2: see it coming. Nobody saw it coming for this year,

1294
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 2: this far into Kawhi Leonard's career, fifteen seasons now that

1295
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: he's been around one missed because of an injury. So

1296
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 2: incredible stuff. He's a loser just because he didn't get

1297
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 2: named to be an aeah. It's unfortunate for him. It

1298
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 2: doesn't care. Probably not, I gotta assume, yeah, maybe not.

1299
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 1: But it is crazy, like Kawhi Leonard is a six

1300
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: time All Star and this up at least until the

1301
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: All Star Break is the best season Kawhi has had

1302
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: in terms of scoring the ball, Like that is pretty wild.

1303
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: But there's all these other circumstances that we've already gone through,

1304
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: maybe played a part and maybe you agree with them,

1305
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: maybe you don't like is that it's not really that part.

1306
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: Could maybe not be his fault at all, but and

1307
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: maybe his owners. The investigation is still a long aging

1308
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 1: so who knows. But yeah, we'll see if he gets

1309
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: a selected. There could be another injury or two before

1310
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: we actually have the All.

1311
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 3: Star a little bit of time.

1312
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: Unfortunately that that happens before. So yeah, we'll probably get

1313
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: up to you know, twenty seven total All Stars, and

1314
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: if we do, he will guaranteed, well, I think he'd be.

1315
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 2: One of them. He has only played in thirty five

1316
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 2: of his team's forty eight games, and I think that's

1317
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 2: a big factor if you're just looking at it.

1318
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like he said, like company, is Lebron played

1319
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: like thirty one?

1320
00:59:59,080 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1321
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean there's the other QUI it has

1322
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 3: been better than Danny Abdia, but Abdia has played forty

1323
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 3: four games.

1324
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1325
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Clippers are better. Now that's weird.

1326
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: And how many of these Booker played He missed a

1327
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: decent out right now a little bit. Yeah, So okay,

1328
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: I guess Booker's up to forty one. I thought it

1329
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: was less than that. I have the Sacramento Kings. To

1330
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: go full circle here with today's podcast, I have them

1331
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: as a loser of the weekend, not to do with

1332
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: the trade that we started this show with. But I

1333
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw yesterday's game against the Wizards.

1334
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 1: This is something else. This was Legiti tank off, and

1335
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: I guess the Kings did win the tank off, so

1336
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: that's maybe a winner of the weekend, helping the lottery odds.

1337
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: But against the Wizards, let's call them C team, really

1338
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: G League team, the King's starting lineup was unable to

1339
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: close the game down the stretch against the Wizards, who

1340
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: shamelessly leaned into a tank job. In this game, Brian

1341
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Keith pulled all of his starters on the Wizards when

1342
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: there was they were up like five points with like

1343
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: four minutes ago in the third quarter. They never returned.

1344
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: The game was close, and he was like, no, we're

1345
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,440
Speaker 1: closing this game out. The Wizards did with Sharif Cooper,

1346
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: A J. Johnson, Will Riley, Anthony Gill and Scalby. I

1347
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: forget how you say this, guys. Last the BCIR thank

1348
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: you four players who have spent time in the G

1349
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: League this season. And the King still lost. And they

1350
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,439
Speaker 1: were playing their starters by the way, they're playing their

1351
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: guys for.

1352
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 2: The most part.

1353
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: So the Kings now have the worst recon in the

1354
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: entire NBA at twelve and thirty nine.

1355
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 2: But man, this was something else.

1356
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is I didn't even know scal was back.

1357
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a reason s.

1358
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: Scal and Marvin Bagley the third getting revenge against the Kings,

1359
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: who they once upon a time played for.

1360
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 3: Bagley's having a good season. Yeah, no, no, Wizards are

1361
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 3: winning some games here.

1362
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 2: I know they're trying not to, I know.

1363
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: So this is actually good for Sacramento. The only thing

1364
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 3: that will turn around the Kings is getting a top

1365
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 3: three pick, So every loss for them is a win.

1366
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: And they've they've figured out we don't even need to

1367
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: sit our guys.

1368
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

1369
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 3: This is like one of the most incredible tank jobs

1370
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 3: that's ever been.

1371
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: Their strategy is like, exactly, Bean DeRozan, you guys need

1372
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: to score thirty points each Okay, do that, shoot all

1373
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 1: the time, and nobody else will do anything and we'll

1374
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: get a loss. And it's worked a lot of the

1375
01:02:16,440 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 1: time this season.

1376
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean it's balling out there.

1377
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 3: He had a chance to tie it up, took a

1378
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 3: deep three and he missed.

1379
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, strategist perfectly played perfect. So is that that's an

1380
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: ethical tank?

1381
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 2: To you?

1382
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 3: That this is maybe the most ethical tank there's ever been.

1383
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 3: If they thought they were going to be good, I

1384
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 3: thought they were going to be I'm dumb too, Scott.

1385
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 2: All right, So just start with the kangs. I with

1386
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 2: the kanks.

1387
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Well boy, well boy. The night sponsored by Brandon Medic

1398
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 3: can what to Why make the All Star team if

1399
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 3: it's Adam Silver that has to fill out the roster?

1400
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean that's who does it. In theory, a.

1401
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 2: Spot man.

1402
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I think he would ultimately pick him. But

1403
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna he's gonna be saved by the

1404
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: international aspect and will not need Kawhi. He'll probably right

1405
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: as an American, but maybe they'll need more. We shall say, yeah, yeah,

1406
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: we'll find out.

1407
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: I agree. I think Shang Gun gets picked first from

1408
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 2: Western conference as we tend to be picking teams now.

1409
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 2: If we're still in the conference mode, even though it's international.

1410
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: Mode, it doesn't matter at all. All right, tonight's pick

1411
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: them tasks. Were starting it back up here for February.

1412
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: I owe a pick and payoff for January. We'll see

1413
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: if we can get it in this week. Hell, maybe

1414
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: i'll do it on the live stream on Thursday's Marathon

1415
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Trade deadline special. It could be a time to do

1416
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: it if we think in the right thing.

1417
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 3: How about you can't go pee the whole time?

1418
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 2: Oh damn, it's not healthy, pretty hard.

1419
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I drink a decent amount of coffee here today.

1420
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 2: That'd be tough.

1421
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 3: Six hours, No pee, It's not easy.

1422
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 2: It can be done. Yeah, I could do it.

1423
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I just wear a diaper like New Year's Eve,

1424
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: Like great, Yeah, diaper payoff yeah, diaper payoff, but you

1425
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: have to use it.

1426
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, do it? Do it? Yeah, go on

1427
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 2: n's game. We go somewhere where peas happen because they

1428
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 2: have so many toilets in the end to it Dome. Nice.

1429
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 2: That was Steve Bombers set up for sure. Now the

1430
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Clippers are hosting the Philadelphia seventy six Ers.

1431
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 2: This is an intriguing game. What will the Philadelphia seventy

1432
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 2: six Ers be able to do in Los Angeles Clippers

1433
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 2: playing on a back to back the favored by two

1434
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 2: and a half. In this one, Trey brought up how

1435
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 2: the Sixers now got to go on a bunch of

1436
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 2: road games because they've played a home heavy beginning of

1437
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 2: the schedule. So I'm surprised you pick the Sixers to

1438
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 2: go into Los Angeles and basically win, but they can

1439
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 2: lose by two exactly b to be for the Clippers.

1440
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 3: Maybe it's negraded by the clip by the Sixers having

1441
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 3: to travel, but I don't know.

1442
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 2: Philly is good, Yeah, good, still good.

1443
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see.

1444
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 2: I was shocked that you both took Philly.

1445
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I was the last one into

1446
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: the dock here to make the pick and I was like, oh,

1447
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: they're both take it, Philly.

1448
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't take clips.

1449
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm on an game losing streak right now,

1450
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: so wow, Philly will probably cover or win.

1451
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I looked at the first time that they played

1452
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 2: earlier this year, played in Philadelphia without Joel Embiid, and

1453
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 2: Beach should be playing in this one, so wow, here

1454
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 2: he should have bots will play him. Well yeah, questionable, huh, Yeah,

1455
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 2: he was last I saw.

1456
01:05:58,560 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: But I think you're right.

1457
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 2: I think you will play.

1458
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's our pickup game. It's really the only

1459
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 1: good game on tonight. Pelicans hornetss are hot early Melicans

1460
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: are playing better too. That's an early three o'clock start.

1461
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: We got Rockets, Pacers at seven, Wolves, Grizzlies on Peacock

1462
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: and then six orch Clippers is the second.

1463
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Game on Peacock. Yeah, Peacock time. It's the Cock time, baby.

1464
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Getting ready for the Winter Olympics.

01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:22,280

01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, lesson.

1467
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm never super excited about the Winter Olympics, is anybody?

1468
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 2: But I have been watching a few of the one

1469
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 2: oh ones that Peacock offers. That's what this is what

1470
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 2: happens in this sport. It's mainly for my kids to

Speaker 1: Yeah, like once it's on, you'll be into it.

1474
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 2: Maybe a following the stories, are you having a podcast

1475
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 2: Winter Olympics podcast?

1476
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,919

1477
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: Nora and I will not be back for the Winter Champions.

1478
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,240

1479
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 2: No.

1480
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean I do like the Olympic. I love both Olympics,

1481
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,360

1482
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, yeah, way cooler. Actually enough.

1483
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 2: Ironically, actually, the hockey, now now that we're saying, I mean,

1484
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 2: that's the only thing I really truly get into in

1485
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 2: the Olympics. That should be fun.

1486
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've watched zero NHL games.

1487
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 2: Well, I've been to Canada during the winter and it's on,

1488
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 2: so I watched some. Okay, I watch some of the

1489
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 2: maple leafs. There's another. Yeah, it's still a good game.

1490
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally. I love the hockey is awesome.

1491
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

1492
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did play off hockey.

1493
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: But always remember I was talking about the arena though

1494
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: in Italy for these hockey games.

1495
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 2: I just saw this.

1496
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Well it's built. The ice is there, the rink is there,

1497
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: but like like corporate boxes, a lot of the vendor

1498
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: like uh, like vendors sites or whatever, like places you

1499
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: buy food and drink. Like, they're not completely built yet.

1500
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,959
Speaker 1: They're going to be starting the games in this build

1501
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: with not everything done.

1502
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 2: That just amazing.

1503
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 3: No concessions.

1504
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, concessions, that's the one I was looking for.

1505
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they will, but it just will

1506
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: not look good. It's just like some guy, it's just

1507
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the pretzel. Yeah, this pretzel.

1508
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 2: I don't mind not having concessions. Watch the game walk in. Uh.

1509
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: The Olympics actually start Wednesday. I saw events start, you

01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Yeah it could be curling.

1513
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 3: I wouldn't like curling last the entirety of the Winter

1514
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 3: Olympics because they have so many like prelimbs and stuff.

1515
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and those stones.

1516
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 3: Move so slow that they got to start soon.

1517

Speaker 2: Wednesday. Curling, you guys call, and freestyle skiing. Freestyle skiing.

1518
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,559

1519
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: because there's so many skis.

1520
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 2: There's a lot of events.

1521
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:04,519

Speaker 1: you get? Are you all using the same mountain?

1523
