Speaker 2: I just have to say, I'm just so fucking happy

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: that the playoffs are here. Like I was just sitting

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: on the couch and I kind of gave myself like

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: a little hug, you.

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,080

Speaker 2: Good games in front of us. I'm so happy about it.

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: And it really drives home how fucking dogshit the regular

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: season is at the NBA.

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: Because the playoffs are so great.

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 6: Is there a league with a bigger difference between playoff

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 6: and regular season.

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 5: I guess baseball.

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: I have a regular season baseball game.

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: Who the fuck is watching those?

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 6: Bro?

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: The problem is.

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: With baseball is that the sport doesn't get worse when

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: the people don't care about it.

35
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: It's the same shit, like with the exception maybe of

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: a pitcher or something, but basketball it's such as.

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 5: Droppers right right, right right like the baseball.

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: You go to a baseball game Sunday at one pm

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: in April May, I don't care that the I just

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: don't care about playing. We're all there having a great

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: time together and watching them play baseball. The way they

43
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: play in baseball in May is fine. Watching a regular

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: season basketball game compared to a playoff game, it's like

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: a different sport.

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: And it's just I won't quite gope you like John

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: study you, but man, it's just it's been a great weekend.

48
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: We are all honesty here.

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: We're recording right about as the Nuggets Timberwolves game hits halftime.

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: It is going to be a long playoffs. We are

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: recording at night. Half of our producing team does live

52
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: on the East Coast, so we're going to try and

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: cut a couple of corners wherever we can here to

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: make this thing sustainable for everyone's lives. But we're also

55
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: not going to bullshit you about that and try and

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 2: you know, make up a Nuggets reaction or something they're

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: handling the Timberwolves right now is expected.

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 5: We watched every second guarding every second of every game.

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: You're right, exactly, But as of right now, road teams

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: are four and three in the first weekend. We've gotten

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: to see a game in every series. I think we're

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: all more excited about the second round than the first round.

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: But there have been some incredible matchups in the first round,

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: and I think we have to start with the Los

65
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Angeles Lakers.

66
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: Are the Lakers him? Has it happened?

67
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: Austin plant Out said, I am him, and I thought

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: about our little Hymnathi.

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 5: Bron got him bucket and said, I am him. Not

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: tweeted Bro.

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 6: You could hear him pronounce the apostle apostrophe and that

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 6: motherfucker that was.

73
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: The most proper I'm him.

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: I am him.

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Every white kid in the nineties had a had a

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: proper version of rap that they did, right, There's.

77
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: Like one, two, three, and two, the four Snoop Doggie.

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: Doug and like, yeah, like every white kid had that

79
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: in their back pocket. And that's so Austin reeves about

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: all basketball. I am him, It's me him.

81
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: It's to me Austin.

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: Every time you.

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 6: Use a Mario, boys, I think about that pizza man,

84
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 6: young clown.

85
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: Story.

00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: Tell tell that story. It's Sunday night, Tell that story.

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Oh ship, Well, there was a pizza dude who used

88
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: to come to our dorm deliver a pizza and looked

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: like Mario dog Like. He had the mustache and everything

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: like that mustache, had the curls and all that ship

91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: and that mother and he wore used to always wear

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: a hat too, so he always used to look like

93
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Mario whenever we saw that dude, and motherfuckers just like,

94
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: it's me mine him.

95
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 4: Bro.

96
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: Did you see that clip of that kid doing the

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Mario voice in class and his teacher got on his

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: ass about.

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 5: I did see it. I need that.

100
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: It was one of those this is why teachers came

101
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: and have guns things. And the teacher is yelling, He's like,

102
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: you've been talking to me like Mario for the entire day,

103
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: and just in the background.

104
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: You just hear mommy.

105
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win against the kids.

106
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: Bro.

107
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: I don't know why teachers don't realize that once you

108
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: show the kids that they have gotten to you, you

109
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: have already.

110
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 5: Show. Okay, that is.

111
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 7: Bro.

112
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 5: The teacher didn't laugh. Is he a psychopath?

113
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 6: Bro?

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 5: No matter how angry you are, that is hilarious. Dog.

115
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 4: That's how angry he was.

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: He couldn't appreciate the moment of the kid delivering a perfect.

117
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 6: Joke, best joke you ever delivered, potentially, Bromma.

118
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: All right, So look, I think all three of us

119
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: we talked about the case for the Lakers against the

120
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: Grizzlies on the last show. There's a plus case, is

121
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: a minus case. This was kind of a best case scenario, right,

122
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: Like the role players stepped up. Ruey had the game

123
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: of his life, title Lakers record for most playoff points

124
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: off the bench. Austin Reeves obviously an unbelievable game. You

125
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: go on the road and win a game one where

126
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: Bron and Ad combined for forty four points.

127
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: Or something like that. It felt repeatable.

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: I know Ruey obviously had a great game, but that

129
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: felt like a repeatable Laker, Like you're gonna get better

130
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: games from Bron and a d than that. You know,

131
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: So what I mean, what do you what do you think?

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: I thought Game one feel out game Bron looked disengaged

133
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: in the first half, as we expect. I thought they

134
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: put the pedal down for Game two. But at this

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: point I think they could they could be greedy and

136
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: try and leave Memphis up to a What do you

137
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: guys think?

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: What do you think seriously of the Lakers' chances after

139
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 4: watching that game?

140
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean I said that that I think that the

141
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: Lakers probably get him out there in five. You know,

142
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: John is the one who thinks that the Grizz get

143
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: a cente home. So you know, yeah, I can for

144
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: sure see them going up too. Oh, Like you know,

145
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that we're gonna in this postseason. We're

146
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: gonna see you know, Rui and and Austin Reeves past

147
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: like that in the same game again in.

148
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 5: The fourth quarter, right, Harry Lakers.

149
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't think that matters because you know,

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: it happened this game and you cash out and got

151
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: the W four.

152
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: That's all you can ask for.

153
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: So but yeah, you know, like I said, like I

154
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: don't I know, John was concerned about these boys but

155
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't see it. Like I said, I think the

156
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Laker's gonna win this in five.

157
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: Bro.

158
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: I mean.

159
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: John can't even close his hand, so like if he's

160
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 6: not playing basketball, it's cooked, you know what I mean.

161
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 6: Like we saw himself of it into the game. But

162
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 6: like I mean, the missing Adams was huge, bro. They

163
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 6: got a lot of buckets in them at the Cup.

164
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 6: G You know, Adams is a big deal. So that

165
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 6: size difference, I mean, it's as great as you know

166
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 6: Jared Jackson was, you know, I mean incredible. We still

167
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 6: got a lot at the Cup, you know what I mean.

168
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 6: So even with John there, we play like this in

169
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 6: this team shows up. Yeah, man, I would switch it.

170
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 6: Lakers is six, but we could definitely lead too old

171
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: for sure, being at you know, Job's hurt now.

172
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: And a hat tip to Darvinham for putting Vandy on Jaw.

173
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: I'm so happy with that decision. Obviously played out beautifully.

174
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: You want to talk about what he playing.

175
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: Good though, he was like eight for thirteen before it

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 5: got hurt. He was like, I mean, he just wasn't

177
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 5: he made eight bucket is it?

178
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: But that's what I'm saying. He had eight field goals

179
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: and three quarters.

180
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: It was like, it wasn't what you were worried about

181
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: Jow doing to these Lakers when you were looking at

182
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: the guard matchups and going, there's no one that can

183
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: stay in front of this dude, you know what I mean.

184
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: But then I was just I was sitting there with

185
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: my friend watching the game. We're like, that's life as

186
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: a defensive role player in the NBA. You're guarding Jaw

187
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: all game. You're doing a great job. Obviously, there's still

188
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: a couple of players where you look like an absolute

189
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: fucking idiot and he has you in a mixer, but like,

190
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: but you hold their superstar eight field goals. He goes

191
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: out of the game injured. You put on JJJ the

192
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 2: next play and he's backing you down. He weighs one

193
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: hundred pounds more than the dude you were just guarding.

194
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: Like that.

195
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: Shit was just like, I don't know, man, Like that

196
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: is life in the NBA right there. But yeah, I'm

197
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: I'm I'm with you, guys. I think this is the

198
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: Lakers have it. I want to bring Jackson in real

199
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,239
Speaker 2: quick to ask about this because we had the horrifying

200
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: moment as Lakers fan would look like ad dislocated his

201
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: shoulder or worse. Later in the game, Jah has an

202
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: injury and goes out Jackson. You know, I was texting

203
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: with Jackson about Gianni's being potentially hurt, which we'll talk

204
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: about later later on the show as well. But what

205
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: is the what do you guys think morally is the

206
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 2: appropriate reaction when a team you're playing against has a

207
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: key guy get injured? Like, what does your heart do

208
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: in the in that moment.

209
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: It's you wish the guy all the best and you

210
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: hope for your squad to cash out. Like anyone who

211
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: says that that that that is not what they're thinking

212
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: is probably lying or they probably think worse shit. You

213
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Yeah, I think that is the

214
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: reasonable way to approach you when shit like that happens.

215
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 6: There's no way I'm gonna see a key guy go

216
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 6: down and be happy that he's hurt. But there's no

217
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 6: way I won't be happy, not happy he's hurt, you

218
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like explode run that back flight

219
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 6: like bro, Like I'm not gonna be like.

220
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm glad this dude got injured.

221
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 6: Right, I'm not happy about the injury, but I'm happy

222
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 6: we don't have to worry about if I'm going to

223
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 6: get Siannis.

224
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: I'm happy we don't have to worry about Giannis anymore.

225
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. If I'm the heat, right,

226
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 5: but I'm not happy Gianni's got an injury. It's you

227
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. It's like dog like, of course, I.

228
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: Don't want to see the best player in the world

229
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 6: get injured in the playoffs. But I'm glad my team

230
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 6: they got to worry about this motherfucker no more. You

231
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, Like it's a complicated situation.

232
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 4: Mike, No, it is.

233
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: No, That's That's genuinely why I'm asking about it, because

234
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: it's like it's such a it is just such a

235
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: weird emotion. Like when John Went got hurt, my heart

236
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: likes gifted me. I was like no, and then part

237
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: of my brain was like.

238
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 6: I get a chance to run through these boys, to

239
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: get a little rest before next you know what I'm.

240
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: Saying, right, So, Jackson, Jackson, you know, in fact, I'm

241
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: a giannest fan too. I know Jackson is a Janni fan,

242
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: but I know he's also a Celtics fan, and I

243
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: know that he knows If Yannis has to miss any

244
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: amount of time, the Boston Celtics chances of winning an

245
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: NBA championship, which would make Jackson very happy, go up

246
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: dramatically absolutely.

247
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 7: And I think for me, the trying to use logic

248
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 7: a little bit. Part of me is like it's about

249
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 7: the severity of the injury. If Yann his tour his achilles,

250
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 7: I would not be happy. I'd be like that, that's

251
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 7: a huge bummer for the league period point plan. Yes,

252
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 7: it's better for my team, but like that's that's just

253
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 7: a net negative for everyone. If has like a backstrain,

254
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 7: and and if I was a Heat fan, I would

255
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 7: be fucking I'd be like, this is great, He'll be

256
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 7: he as a person, it is going to be fine,

257
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 7: his money is going to be fine. The league, like

258
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 7: everything is fine. My team doesn't have to play him now.

259
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 7: Like that That's sort of the differentiator for me is

260
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 7: that if it's like a season or career like altering injury,

261
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 7: then it's like hard to be happy for.

262
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 6: I remember when Kadie had the rupture of the Achillies

263
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 6: and I was rooting against them every second of every

264
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 6: game for the last fucking what five years.

265
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: At that point four years, you know what I mean.

266
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 6: And he went down and I was like, not like

267
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 6: this though, like any way I think I ad tweeted anyway, but.

268
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 5: This way, you know what I mean?

269
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 6: Like so yeah, he like, yeah, of course if it's

270
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 6: like a huge injury. There was no happiness there. And

271
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 6: actually I was like rooting against the Raptors at that point,

272
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 6: as it's crazy that sounds. I was like, bro, man,

273
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 6: I just I don't want to see them, you know,

274
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 6: them lose in this fucking way.

275
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 5: It was. It was, it was super sad. But yeah,

276
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: I mean if it's like you know.

277
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: So we're all basically the Drake mean the Drake clip

278
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: when he saw KD walk past them in that finals game, not.

279
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 5: Situary because that was right, but like yeah, yeah, but but.

280
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean I think I mean telling you how I feel.

281
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, we gotta win these minutes when this

282
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: dude is out. If he's gonna be out ten minutes

283
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: in the back, you know, and he's gonna be good

284
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: to go, or if it's gonna be out the whole game,

285
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: like you know, you got to win the minutes when

286
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: that guy is not on the floor, as simple as that.

287
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 5: And that's what the Lakers did. They stretched that thing out.

288
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 7: The finals adds another wrinkle to it too, especially for

289
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 7: a team like the Raptors or like, say the Kings

290
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 7: make it to the finals. I don't think they will

291
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 7: say the Kings make it to the finals and the

292
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 7: Eastern Conference team has a key player tears a cl

293
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 7: like not a career unning injury, but it sees a

294
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 7: very bad one the finals. It's like, how can you

295
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 7: not like it's hard. I would understand the Kings fan

296
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 7: being like, well, like bummer, but like, let's go win

297
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 7: the fucking finals, now, you know what I mean. It's hard.

298
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 7: I can't imagine how I would listen.

299
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 2: But but I think, like the reason I wanted to

300
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 2: bring this up, first of all is because it's like

301
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: a weird aspect of being in a sportsne but also

302
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: like this is every year a huge part of the

303
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: storyline in the NBA playoffs. We had four like you

304
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: had Giannis go out today, you had John go out today,

305
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: you had Tyler Herro broke his hand, and it looked

306
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: like again, like the Lakers continue to be in this

307
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: fucking Schrodinger's box with a d where he gets hit

308
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: like something's bothering him, and half of your brain is like,

309
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: this season's over, I quit, and the other half of

310
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: your brain is like, he might literally come back and

311
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: score twenty more points.

312
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: He came out in the sling. I know, I wasn't

313
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 5: watching another minute of that series.

314
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: Bro.

315
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: If he came out of the sling.

316
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 6: I'd been on his motherfucker lying every night talking about

317
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 6: the Lakers.

318
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 5: Stop. That was not gonna put myself through that stress.

319
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: Ain't no way in hill Dog.

320
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: All right.

321
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: He came back, he was, you know, and he was

322
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 3: a underlying story.

323
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Here is them little punk ass hoo's your ass win

324
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: one for the gip rass charges sent fucking jaw andis

325
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: out of you know, opening playoff games, Bro, I don't know.

326
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 5: I mean, it's a part of the game, but yeah,

327
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: it's frustrated.

328
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: Someone's someone tweeted, you know, like we got to take

329
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 2: the charge out of the game. And the correct response

330
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: to it is just like, well, there's not a way

331
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: to do that. Like, but by taking the charge out

332
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: of the game, what you would allow would be defenders

333
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: to just run through to be run through, you know

334
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, and you can't do that either.

335
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: It's the specific problem is the stationary charge where you're

336
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: stepping in right, but if but if you're not stationary,

337
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: then it's a blocking foul. So like there there is

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: a penalty for doing it incorrectly, you know, Like I

339
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: don't know what the answer is other than guys you're.

340
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: Definitely seeing I mean, they already have that circle, you know,

341
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 6: like they.

342
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: Are, so you can try and expand the circle out.

343
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: But like, yeah, but I'm I'm with Tyler.

344
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: I hate it.

345
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: And they took away closing out to the feet from

346
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: a shooter, which did used to be a legitimate defensive.

347
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: You're trying to get a people's head. I wish there's

348
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: a way for him to do it. I just don't

349
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: know what.

350
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: The language of that rule change would look like. But

351
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 4: I'm all for it.

352
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: It's bro I hate it, But it's not going anywhere

353
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: because I think that you know, those the the suits

354
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: at the NBA are very well aware of the whole

355
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: these guys don't play defense myth that they're battling to

356
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: try to get the casual fans to come on board,

357
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: and the fucking casual fan that they are aiming at

358
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: loves the fucking charge.

359
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: Right, those are some hoosiers.

360
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: Let's go Brandon motherfuckers who they're targeting to get in

361
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: and you cannot take the charge for them because that

362
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: is like their favorite fucking place.

363
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: Fans you mean middle aged white fans. It's basically you

364
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: mean baseball fans. All right, let's talk about the Clippers game.

365
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: Did Russell Westbrook have a good game?

366
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: A phenomenal fucking game, best three for nighteen game I've

367
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: ever seen in my life?

368
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: What though?

369
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: And enigma?

370
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: Right?

371
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: He was everything, everything, everywhere all at once. He was

372
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: a hot dog finger motherfucker out there to night Dog

373
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: like seriously bro like, like the just a monster on

374
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: the offensive glass, you know what I'm saying.

375
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 3: He was just dishing that motherfucker. He had, you know, the.

376
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: Free throws that that put him up. Then he had

377
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: that fucking lockdown defensive playing on book that locked that

378
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: shit up. He had the fucking inbound assists that really

379
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: put the shit away. Like he was hooping best three

380
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: for nineteen game we've ever fucking seen.

381
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 6: He was going KD for a while two when Kad

382
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: was struggling early on as well, you know what I mean, Like, yeah,

383
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 6: so I was, I mean they won, and he did

384
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 6: the things and when he time, it matters.

385
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: So we had a good game. Would I want to

386
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 5: you know, if I'm a Coopers fan, would I want

387
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 5: to see him have another three for nineteen game?

388
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 6: No, you know what I'm saying. But right, actually he

389
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: did what was necessary to win.

390
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a complete Russell Westborod experience. Like

391
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: here's all of the things that could go right, and

392
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: here's all of the things that could go wrong, basically.

393
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 5: And both happened all the things that you know what

394
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: I'm saying, they both happened.

395
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that series looks like it's gonna be a really

396
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: fun one. What's even without? Looks like a motherfucker right now?

397
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: And you can't, like, you can't deny it. He looked

398
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: at Devin Booker, and he looked at Chris Paul, and

399
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: he looked at Kevin Durant and he said, fuck all

400
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 2: of you.

401
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 4: I'm the best player on the fourth quarter.

402
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 5: Chris Paul, Like what does he have? Like you know

403
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 5: what I mean, It's like, does he have another year?

404
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 5: You know, like do we need any more Chris Paul basketball?

405
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: Tonight? I feel like he was effective tonight, Like.

406
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 6: I just this is not the Chris Paul in any

407
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 6: way that we even saw last year, let alone the

408
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 6: year before who got him to the chip.

409
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I wouldn't caught him a

410
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 5: Big three.

411
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 6: They have two really good players and some guys that

412
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 6: are affected, you know what I'm saying.

413
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 5: And it's crazy to say that with a team for

414
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 5: Chris ball was on the point. But yeah, man, like.

415
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know, like he had he had eleven

416
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: rebounds Tennis is two steals, but he was two of

417
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: eight with seven points, and and was like ugly in

418
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: the in the lane and like it, like the shots

419
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: where he gets a guy on his ass that you

420
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: just expect, those little piggyback shots that he always makes,

421
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: always like breaking the fuck out, not.

422
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 5: Even close though, that's legs, that's legs.

423
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: But man, but but that's what I love about a

424
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 2: series like this. You talk about Chris Paul, you talk

425
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: about Russ, like not scoring but doing gritty fucking you

426
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: know who's your type basketball shit?

427
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: Like he took some charges to out there. I saw,

428
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 3: I saw you, Russ.

429
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

430
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: What do you guys think about that series going forward?

431
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: And any changed the way I think we all have

432
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: the Sons coming out of that series.

433
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: But with with the Clippers going on the road and

434
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: winning Game one, what do you think.

435
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's it's like we said, I

436
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: don't think we'd be surprised if they could bounced first

437
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: series or if they win at all, you know what

438
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean? I think that a major concern is that

439
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: bench is trash, That bench is garbage and manty trot

440
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: staggering buck you know, to to rest the old bones

441
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: a KD and Chris Paul. But that ain't looking like

442
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: fanser either. They've got a serious depth problem and we

443
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: knew that when when they traded for Kdi. But you,

444
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: of course you still make that fucking trade a million

445
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: times out of a million times.

446
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: But but yeah.

447
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: It's you know, when you're going up against a team

448
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: like the Clippers, who have a real legit coach like

449
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: fucking ty Lou, you knows who knows what he's doing

450
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: out there, and you got guys who are locked in

451
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: on the defensive en guys who are committed to rebound

452
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: and like the Clippers are, and you know, guys who

453
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: are just going to you know, get in a fucking

454
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: dogfight with you for forty eight, those legs start getting tired.

455
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: You know, you can't go to that to the bench

456
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: like you like you need to.

457
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 6: And also like I think, like them not playing as

458
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 6: much together it is affects them more on the defensive end,

459
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like we think about the offensive,

460
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 6: like they're not playing together, not having the rhythm.

461
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 5: I think it affects the more on the defensive end,

462
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

463
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 6: But like, I don't know, bro, Like I think the

464
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 6: Suns could like Tyler was saying, could definitely win. I mean,

465
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 6: I think it's about what for what now? You know

466
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 6: pg's not coming back with the PG came back woo,

467
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 6: you know.

468
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: What I mean. But like I don't know. I mean,

469
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 5: we'll see I mean Chris Palky playing like Steve what Chakowski.

470
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

471
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, right right.

472
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: You guys mentioned the Sun's only had one bench player

473
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: who played more than eight minutes, Like, if that's how

474
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: scarce the minutes are for your bench in the first

475
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: game of the player that was But.

476
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: Here here's here's what's crazy.

477
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: What's even crazier because you mentioned the depth is they

478
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: only have one guy who played more than eight minutes,

479
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: but every one of their starters is in the positive

480
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: on a plus minus. Wainwright played seven minutes minus twelve,

481
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,959
Speaker 2: Okki played seven minutes minus ten, Biambo played five minutes

482
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: minus eleven.

483
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: Like once so sad, like if you take.

484
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: One starter off the court, they lose those minutes so

485
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: bad that it is like genuinely, I don't know that

486
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: you can find a way to make that shit work

487
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: with KD. And I do think maybe maybe I underestimated

488
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: how important that.

489
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 4: Would be when you get into the playoffs. I don't know.

490
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 4: I don't know.

491
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: And and those old ass legs are only going to

492
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: get tired the deeper they get into the into the playoffs, and.

493
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 6: All the Minuti's not hasn't played. I don't know if

494
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 6: that helps him as a whole. Dude, you know what

495
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 6: I mean, Like, right, got to get back in shape.

496
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: I have.

497
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 7: I have a macro take about this that because of

498
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 7: Lebron transcending all of expectations and all of basketball and

499
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 7: being the best player of all time, we ended doing

500
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 7: it for so long we have collectively as basketball fans,

501
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 7: greatly underestimated team building as like an important factor of

502
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 7: winning an NBA Championship. For so long, it was just like, oh,

503
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 7: if you give Lebron two other good players, they're gonna

504
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 7: make the finals, right, so you don't need a bench.

505
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 7: But now it's like, oh, if you don't have Lebron,

506
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 7: j even Steph like they need probably the second best

507
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 7: player of this era needs quality team around them. When

508
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 7: they didn't have a bench of years, they didn't quite

509
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 7: do it. So like other than Lebron, you kind of

510
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 7: need to construct your team. Well, even Janni is like

511
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 7: those teams like didn't have d Wayne Chrispo, but like constructive,

512
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 7: relatively deep, Like I don't know, I think it's it's

513
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 7: almost like a thing we have to we have to

514
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 7: sort of rearrange.

515
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 5: They're missing, you know what I mean?

516
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, but I think you're I think you're I

517
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: think that's exactly right. Broun had a classic Broun lie

518
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: today talking about like the first moment I laid eyes

519
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: on Austin Reeves, I knew he had a game that

520
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: would fit with mine, but like.

521
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 5: But that may that was that's not a whopper like

522
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 5: the past ones.

523
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: Like about almost every kind of player, you.

524
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying, that's always like all we got

525
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 5: to shoot. We haven't had those years.

526
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, this guy can play with

527
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 6: me so that I can I can see that he

528
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 6: is like three or four open threes.

529
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 5: That's all I need from you, my guy. You know

530
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. The other ship is additional.

531
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, all you need is to be to

532
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: to fit with Bron is to you know, be able

533
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: to catch and shoot right Like like every every fucking question,

534
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: how does this player fit with Bron? That all all

535
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: balls down to. Is this someone who can cash out

536
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: on the drive and kick from Bron. That's basically what

537
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: that whole conversation comes down to.

538
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's it may have been a whopper, but

539
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 6: it's a believable one.

540
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 5: It's not.

541
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: Half of.

542
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

543
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: It is incredible that they somehow managed to turn fucking

544
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: Kendrick Nunn and Russell Westbrook into into championship caliber role

545
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: players around Lebron chains Bro Like. It doesn't take much.

546
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 2: It does not take much. All Right, let's talk about

547
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: King's Warriors. Looks like it's gonna be the series of

548
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: the first round. That was one of those games that

549
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 2: when it was over, you were like just play another

550
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: forty quarters right now, I will clear my schedule for the.

551
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: Rest of the year. What do you guys think of

552
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: that game?

553
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: And what do you think? I mean, I'll be honest.

554
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: The King showed me something John Textan after the first quarter.

555
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: He said Kings might have it and I said, well's

556
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: see if they shop down their leg in the fourth

557
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: quarter or not, because that can happen with young teams.

558
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: Dearon Fox's first playoff game, did not shit down his lake?

559
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: If that team looked like they were ready for that series.

560
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 4: What'd y'all think?

561
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: The Aaron Fox official that boy Nights Club, that motherfucker

562
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: can go.

563
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: Well, I fucking love his game. He had what thirty eight? Yeah,

564
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: so you know, I still think that the Warriors win this.

565
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: I think that they win this handily.

566
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: But you know, of course, I think the Kings are

567
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: going to give him the trouble because you know, the

568
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: whole young, scrappy team.

569
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 3: With nothing to lose.

570
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: Of course, they've got Mike Brown, who's spent years on

571
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: that Warriors bench, knows that you know, personnel inside, and

572
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how to scheme against him as well.

573
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: So but yeah, I mean, I think the Kings are

574
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna put up a good fight. I think the future

575
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: is bright for the Kings, but I do not think

576
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: they're getting past this series. But I would love if

577
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: they did. Oh don't get me wrong, I would absolutely

578
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: love it. Please please understand that.

579
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 6: It was interesting seeing like you know, near fact Fox

580
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 6: going crazy right instead just sitting on the bench clearly emotionals,

581
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, like come out, there was

582
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 6: Cookie too. You know they still lost, but oh this

583
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 6: team ain't affected by that, so I still think, you know,

584
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 6: defin could be the Warriors.

585
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 5: Of Six, but this King's team is good.

586
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 6: And like I said on the group chats, I don't

587
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 6: I don't want no parts of these niggas brou.

588
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 5: They would fucking give us so much trouble, you know

589
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 5: what I mean, Like they're really really good.

590
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 6: They're legit dog and that that I mean the fans crazy,

591
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 6: I wish, I mean to me though, it was a

592
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 6: perfect basketball game. You see a perfect basketball game? Did

593
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 6: you watching it?

594
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: Did you see that teenager who looks Steph in his

595
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: eyes and said forty on your fucking head?

596
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: Did you see that?

597
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 6: No?

598
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 5: I didn't see that.

599
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: No, yes, And everyone's like, oh no, you shouldn't have

600
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh no, you shouldn't have poked the bearers.

601
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: This kid looked like he was about fifteen six I'm like, bro,

604
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: when the fuck are you ever gonna have? You might

605
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: not ever have another game where you know, the Aaron

606
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: Fox Spas is like that, you know, puts up thirty eight,

Speaker 1: Chris Weber you know, Bloody dev Mike Bibi years or whatever.

Speaker 2: to fucking be up there. For this ship, I asked

622
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: him after the game. I said, well, this is the

623
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: biggest Kings win since blank. Now, Brian and I went

624

629
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 2: We've lived so much fucking life since two thousand and two,

630
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: twenty one years ago. And he was like, hands down

631
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: by far, the biggest win in twenty one years, game

632
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: one of the first of the first round of the playoffs.

633
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 4: And I can't argue with him.

634
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 5: They've done nothing since. What I'm saying, nothing, you know

635
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 5: what I mean? So good, I mean, but super fun

636
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: to watch. The Warriors scene is good.

637
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 6: They played well. It wasn't like they stunk it up

638
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 6: and they got beat bro. They played well. The kids

639
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,960

00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 4: It does happen for the kid.

644
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 2: I will say Game one had written all over it,

645
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: big emotional win for the King's biggest win in twenty

646
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: one years.

647
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 4: Warriors come back and steal game two.

648
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, I just.

649
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, we'll see that good Like

650
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: it wasn't like.

651
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 6: You know, you know, Wiggas looked solid, Pool wasn't quite himself,

652
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, But it was it was

653
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 6: good to I mean, both repeatable games, you.

654
00:28:58,560 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 5: Know what I mean.

655
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: Right, Nicks beat the Cavs. Did you guys see that coming?

656
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: I was, first of all, Jalen Brunson is another dude

657
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: you put in that category of like the Dallas Mavericks,

658
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: the stupidest motherfuckers in history. They literally said it was

659
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: like if Jalen Brunson was eight shades lighter, dude, They're

660
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: given that man two hundred million dollars if.

661
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: He was Jalen Bernakovitch or something like that.

662
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, but but you know, I you know, like

663
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: when we did the previous I was like, bro, I'm

664
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: looking forward to you know, Jalen versus you know, Mitchew.

665
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: I think that is like the battle for the two

666
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: best offseason acquisitions that we got this season.

667
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, this series is gonna be fun.

668
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, I see this going seven, man, I'm

669
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: looking forward to like every fucking game of this.

670
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 6: I mean, uh, mister Robinson on the board, they they

671
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 6: they were killing the Twins hours over Cleveland on the

672
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: boards though, you feel me, Jalen Bruston.

673
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: Does he misshots the fuck?

674
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 6: Like I was like this nigga crazy dog, you know,

675
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 6: but talking was killing him on the boards too, So

676
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 6: I mean, like, mo, they gotta figure it out, you

677
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 6: know what I mean. I even think like DG like

678
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: he was kind of quiet. A's like, I don't know,

679
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 6: be shot in the first like quarter and a half,

680
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 6: so I don't know it was It was a It

681
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 6: was a fun game to watch, but it just can't

682
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 6: be Donovant out there by himself dropping forty balls trying

683
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 6: to beat them.

684
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 5: You know. The good thing about this team is they

685
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 5: played team basketball. This didn't looked like it yesterday. You

686
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 5: feel me, soet Mitchell gets MMB so good.

687
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 8: Too, And it's just seeing him playing like that, that

688
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 8: that that that hurt me really. But I mean I

689
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 8: think at the end of uh, he just got bullied

690
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 8: by Randall and I'm like, this is this is like

691
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 8: playoff basketball team.

692
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 6: You need to get your ass in the fucking right

693
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 6: wrooman tough enough. You're missing fucking bunnies, you know what

694
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 6: I mean? And ship like this is this is playoff basketball.

695
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 6: I think it's it's a learning experience of nothing else, you.

696
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 5: Know what I mean.

697
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: So I need I need Donovan Mitchell to get to

698
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: get to get to a coast like he cannot be

699
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: condemned to like at least like at least Dame lives

700
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: in a real time zone, you.

701
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 4: Know what I mean.

702
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: Like I can Donovan Mitchell flailing around.

703
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 6: Between the Utah I love zone, but I love living

704
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 6: in the Central time zone. It was always weird calling

705
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 6: age when he was out here and it was like

706
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 6: the middle.

707
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 5: It seemed like the afternoon. It was like ten pm.

708
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: I'm like, bro anyway, but I don't know, Gee, I

709
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 5: don't know. We'll see, we'll see, But about this weird.

710
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 5: I love seeing Donovan play basketball for the weirdest reason.

711
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: His face.

712
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 6: He has no matter where he's at, what movie makes,

713
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 6: He's always on balance when he shoots, always dog. You know,

714
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 6: he got those running back legs. Gee, he'll do a

715
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 6: spin move and be like perfect on balance to pull

716
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 6: the jumpers. It's beautiful to see you. He's a He's

717
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 6: a fucking fucket.

718
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: The other games all looking pretty unremarkable. Celtics Sixers, Nuggets,

719
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: Nuggets currently up by fifteen, uh and looking very comfortable.

720
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 6: Uh, midw could be good if they weren't so dumb,

721
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

722
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 5: It's like me when I remember, like in high school.

723
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you both zeroed in on the Timberwolves is

724
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: a dumb basketball team.

725
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: It's just likely your last season.

726
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 6: I remember in high school, like, I got a three

727
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 6: point eight my senior my senior year cause my mom

728
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 6: was like, you have to get the three point out

729
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 6: to keep your car right.

730
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 5: And I just did my homework. It's the only difference.

731
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: And I thought, damn, I could have done this the

732
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 5: whole time, but I did it because I was dumb,

733
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 5: even though I was smart, you know what I mean.

734
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 6: So I'm I'm like, yo, y'all would be good if

735
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 6: y'all wasn't stupid, if you know what I mean.

736
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 5: It reminds me of.

737
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,479
Speaker 1: Look, bro, if Mike Conley can't fix stupid, it might

738
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: be a lost cause.

739
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 4: Dog, it might be it might be anything else.

740
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 6: Uh.

741
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: You guys saw from Celtics or six years, I mean,

742
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: I think those are the series that we kind of

743
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 2: felt pretty comfortable knowing what was gonna happen. I didn't

744
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: see anything to dissuay me that anything else on those.

745
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: Sixers beat the fun out them by, Like what.

746
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 5: Nothing to talk about that he would ever supposed to do?

747
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 7: All right, I would just like to quickly that I

748
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 7: said in the group chat Michael Porter Jr. One assist

749
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 7: one minute into the game, over under one point time

750
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 7: for the game.

751
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 5: We might not see another assist for the rest of

752
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 5: the series.

753
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: My guy, he he want to bet, he want to

754
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: bet with someone on that, and it was not based

755
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: on the line.

756
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: It was.

757
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: It was based on whether he could do the one

758
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: or not. Okay, So some other interesting tidbits on some

759
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: teams that are not in the playoffs. We've been talking

760
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: quite a bit in the group chat about this ship

761
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: with the Pelicans, where some people came out and said, hey,

762
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: we're all behind Zion. Everyone in this locker room, no

763
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: one's looking at him any kind of way. And then

764
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: basically everybody else came out and said, we're fucking pissed

765
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: at Zion, We're pissed at b I. What do you

766
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 2: guys think is going on over there? And how did

767
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: this shit go wrong? Like they weren't good enough yet

768
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: to have the promising young team go wrong.

769
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, They didn't accomplish anything yet,

770
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: so what the fuck is up in New Orleans?

771
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 3: Yeah?

772
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 4: It was.

773
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: It was like when they faced off against Okay, so

774
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: it was like y'all were once oka see the promising

775
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 1: young squad, right, and that was just like eighteen months ago,

776
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.

777
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't like five years ago.

778
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 2: But I mean, just briefly, twelve games into the season,

779
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 2: Lakers are two and ten, the Pelicans are in first

780
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: place in the West, and all of their fans are

781
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 2: all over Twitter talking about plus we get the Lakers

782
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: lottery pick this year, and shit could not possibly have

783
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: flipped more for both teams.

784
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean it basically came to be because

785
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Skip said, you know, he got he had word that

786
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: execs and players and the Pelicans organization weren't pleased with Zion.

787
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: Then Larry Nancy, you know, quote sweet him, said that's

788
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: a lie. No one's looking at him any type way.

789
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: I never doubted Skip for a second. I told y'all

790
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: that because you know, for as much of a fucking

791
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: hot take artists that melted Kevin Bacon face of a man.

792
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 3: Is he's still a journalist at heart?

793
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 5: Right?

794
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: And I believe if he's stepping out there and he's

795
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: putting his sources out there, I believe that he's running

796
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: with something substantial. And and we saw a player hop

797
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: out there and CJ say, you know, you know he

798
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: wasn't feeling you know, Zion's rehab process. We saw an

799
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: exac hop out there with Griffin who say he wasn't

800
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: feeling how Zion was approaching the rehab process.

801
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: So Skip was right. You know, you might hate the motherfucker.

802
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: I don't fuck with it either, but the motherfucker was right.

803
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: I think the biggest question here is, you know, we

804
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: had a discussion in the group chat about how we

805
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: weren't really rocking with how CJ mccomen went about this.

806
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: You know, of course, you know, leadership is is you know,

807
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: holding God's accountable, you know, saying what guys need to do.

808
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: But you know, I felt that when you know that

809
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: criticism for one of your guys is off the rails

810
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: like it is with Zion, where he's getting you know,

811
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: all the fucking fat jokes on on Twitter, on the internet,

812
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: and he's and Zion has spoken out out his own

813
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: mouth and said how hurtful that shit is?

814
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 3: I think, ain't that?

815
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: You know, as a leader, there's some shit you shouldn't

816
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: say publicly when you know that the criticism has gotten

817
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: off the rails for you one of your guys to

818
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: add fuel to that fire, right, I thought that's all

819
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: CJ was doing with stoking the flames, because he wasn't

820
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: telling us anything we didn't know. Of course, guys have

821
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: to rehab right, take care of their body, eat right,

822
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: get on right, sleeping schedules. Of course we all know

823
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: that shit. But it was for sure a jab at zign.

824
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: And then Griffin comes out and says that a big

825
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: part of the delays in Zion's rehab process were on him.

826
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: And so I mean, I feel like if they're going public,

827
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: they feel like they're probably not getting through design privately,

828
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I think that if

829
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: you're a Pelicans fan, you know there might be concern

830
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: for that there.

831
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 6: So I think like when you're young like that, you know,

832
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 6: it takes a while for you to learn how to

833
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 6: become a professional basketball player, you know what I mean.

834
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 6: You played basketball because you love it, right, but like

835
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 6: you know, basketball players that play basket befare living play

836
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 6: basketball when they don't feel like you know what I'm saying.

837
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 6: They eat right when they want to eat something else

838
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 6: because they know they have to, you.

839
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 5: Know, take care of themselves.

840
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 6: They go get you know, work done and you know

841
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 6: all that shit after games, even when they don't want

842
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 6: so they want to go home because the day doesn't

843
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 6: end when the game's over, you feel what I'm saying.

844
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 5: And I don't think Zion has learned how to be

845
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 5: professional yet because I.

846
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 6: Think, like yo, he came and shake you were talking

847
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 6: about he looks when he came and looked great and

848
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 6: when he came back right. But part of that, you know, hey,

849
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 6: when you get hurt in the season, you got to

850
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 6: do keep that shit up so you can come back

851
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 6: as soon as possible.

852
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 5: And he hasn't out these quite figure that out. Unfortunately

853
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 5: for him.

854
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 6: He has a body type that's hard to stay healthy

855
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 6: if you bullshit period, even if you're not bullshit, you

856
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 6: know what I mean, a lot of other guys that

857
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 6: are not built like you know what I'm saying, they

858
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 6: play football, you know, have a little leeway.

859
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 5: He doesn't have that.

860
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: Brandon Ingram would have to work very hard to accidentally

861
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: put on thirty pounds that can happen on the drive home.

862
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

863
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, and I have more Zion's body type, And

864
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: I would say that at thirty nine years old, I'm

865
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: just starting to learn how to eat correctly so that

866
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: I can wake up and feel good on the average day,

867
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:01,919
Speaker 2: just so that I could feel good.

868
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 4: And and I was poor for most of my adulthood.

869
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: So I can't even imagine being Zion and having all

870
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 2: of that money and trying to learn how to do

871
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 2: that stuff. That being said, if you're a Pelicans fan,

872
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: it shit's gotta be frustrating. Like you know, like you

873
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 2: you have that feeling, yes, and you have that feeling

874
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: this is a year we're building. We got to pick

875
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: and all this ship, and then it flips around to

876
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 2: coming down to the end when, like you said, you're

877
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: looking at the thunder that just completely snatched the fun

878
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: young team chain off your neck and your superstar saying

879
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 2: like I feel good to go, but I don't feel

880
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: like myself.

881
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 4: I don't know.

882
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: It's gotta be it's it's hard to imagine feeling shitty

883
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: in New Orleans, but I can't imagine that that feels

884
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 2: very good as a Pelicans fan.

885
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta go extra hard on on the on the grenades,

886
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: on bourbon if you're a Pelicans fan right now. Look,

887
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: but I think I think Zion's gonna be okay. You know,

888
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: like we said, these aren't like, you know, career debilitating

889
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: injuries that he's had to battle from. These are I mean,

890
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, I hate the piling on

891
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: about his weight, but these are these these are injuries

892
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: because he is carrying a little too much weight. He's

893
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: got to kind of get that under control a bit.

894
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: But but I don't know, man, It's it's a sticky situation,

895
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: very sticky situation.

896
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 5: Luck to the man, though. I want to see him.

897
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 4: Yes, hell yeah, all three of us do.

898
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 6: Forget you know what I'm saying, going crazy, But yeah,

899
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 6: he gotta gotta. You gotta learn how to take care

900
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 6: of himself, learn how to be a professional.

901
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 2: Basketball I need him to be in shape enough to

902
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,959
Speaker 2: dunk on chet Homer is so hard that that man's

903
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: limbs fly off his body like a fucking action figure.

904
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: Next year, bro, we need that. We need that badly

905
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 2: in the fucking West Conference.

906
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 4: Okay, let's Wow.

907
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: I just remember the fucking hilarious story from Jermaine O'Neil

908
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: about when he realized he was no longer cut out

909
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: to be an NBA player and he retired.

910
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 3: Did y'all hear that story?

911
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 5: No?

912
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 3: When? When?

913
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: When he was with the Heat and you know, the

914
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: Heat are one of the fucking most stringent, you know,

915
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: most advanced body science type, you know, organizations in the league,

916
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: and they this man on like, you know, a strict

917
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: die plan and target weights and all that, and he

918
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: said one day he was just looking at some orioles

919
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: in his cabin. He was like, I can't eat these

920
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: oriols because I gotta play basketball. He decided right then

921
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: and day he was done with basketball. And good for him.

922
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 5: That's the question.

923
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens.

924
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 7: Man.

925
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 4: He knew, he knew, he knew it was a choice.

926
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 4: He knew he had to make the choice.

927
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 5: Do you want to make that choice anymore?

928
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 2: I mean, last thing to talk about the Dallas Mavericks.

929
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 2: You know, go within the span of a couple of

930
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: months from making a trade to finally put a superstar

931
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 2: next to Luca, to tanking to close out the end

932
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 2: of the regular season, get hit with a seven hundred

933
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars fine for resting players in the

934
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: last game of the season trying to avoid accidentally tripping

935
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: their way into the fucking play in.

936
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 4: What do you?

937
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 7: What do you?

938
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: First of all, you know, I actually don't really have

939
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: anything against Mark Cuban, but for some reason I do

940
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: find it funny when shit like this happens to him.

941
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 4: But what did you guys think of this?

942
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: And is this tanking competitiveness thing solvable for the NBA

943
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 2: or do they need Like I understand why they have

944
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: to signal that they care about it with this fine,

945
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: but it feels like the play in was about and

946
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 2: the lottery, you know, flattening the odds and the lottery.

947
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 4: For the top pick.

948
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: It feels like that's all they can really do. And

949
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: some of this shit from teams nine through twelve is

950
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: going to be inevitable.

951
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if that motherfucker has Whimby, that'll be

952
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: the best seventy five hundred thousand dollars he ever fucking spent, right, Like, Like,

953
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: how big of a deal with seven hundred fifty thousand

954
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: dollars to this fucking multi billionaire. That's like fucking fifty

955
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: Bucks does probably twenty bucks or maybe. But I mean,

956
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 1: like I said, if you want to tank, this is

957
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: the year to do it. If you want to get

958
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: out there and get you some fucking balls in that lottery,

959
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: this is the year to do it. With that fucking

960
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: seven foot five god over there, you know, coming to

961
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: the league next year. That's the reason I was happy

962
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: that Okay see got because I want Okac to have

963
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: a shot at Wimby.

964
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 3: I am like, so fucking boring at where I'm at

965
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: with Wimby.

966
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: Everyone wants like the stars and the and the goods

967
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: and the glam and they want him in the big market,

968
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: so they want him playing with LaMelo. I'm like, bro, no,

969
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: we need this kid in a responsible franchise. Get this

970
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: seven foot kid, you know, who moves like a two guard.

971
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: Get him to a competent franchise that will will you know,

972
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: we can trust with his development and we can trust

973
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: with this physical upkeep. I want this dude to go

974
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: to either OKC or the Spurs. That is the oldest

975
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: shit I've ever said as a basketball fan. That's where

976
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm at right now, though.

977
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 6: Take care of that man, I get it, bro, you

978
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, we want him to see the

979
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 6: best player could be.

980
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 5: Don't rush that shit either, you feel what I'm saying. So,

981
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 5: but yeah, man, as far as he does have a

982
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 5: stink on it, that shit was wild.

983
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 6: Like you're like, you'reing like they have a chance to win,

984
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 6: and they're sitting motherfuckers and like, you know, he's playing

985
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 6: an eighty fifth game and you know, I mean, seventy

986
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 6: fifth game. Whatever the fuck's's the fifth game? And then

987
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 6: like and then he's sitting there in the first quarter

988
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 6: or whatnot. It has a stink on it. But I

989
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 6: don't know, man, mole is gonn get bos Anyways, they

990
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,919
Speaker 6: were not good at basketball, So no, let's not let's

991
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 6: not drag this sound anymore. Let's not risk any injuries.

992
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 6: We fucking stink even if we make it to the plane,

993
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 6: we're not going any fucking wear. We're wasting our fucking time.

994
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 6: Let's just go on vacation. Figure it out for next year.

995
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 6: I get that, bro, I get that.

996
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: Effectively, they were fined for starting to tank too late, right,

997
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 2: I mean, like, there's plenty of teams that did less

998
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: competitive ship this year than what the Mavericks did in

999
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: one game. That's what to me was so funny about

1000
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 2: it is like you knew coming into the year, like

1001
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: did anyone find the Rockets for being non competitive?

1002
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: You know the entire year they flat out announced they

1003
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: were putting Luca on a minute's restriction on a fucking winning.

1004
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: Your end game.

1005
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: But you fucking get like so blatant, like they deserved

1006
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: everybody that found for playing in our face like that

1007
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: that was just blatant.

1008
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 3: Ug mad at them, but that was blake.

1009
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 5: Why you ain't playing? I don't know. Your guess is

1010
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 5: good as my nigga.

1011
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 4: All right, that's all I'm trying. Yeah, it was stinky.

1012
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: I get that, I get, But that's like that's the

1013
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 2: business of having superstars strategy.

1014
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 4: I don't know whatever it is. It is part. It

1015
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 4: is part of the NBA.

1016
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 2: Like that's what to me, that's what needs figuring out.

1017
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: And let me say this, if you're a thunder fan,

1018
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 2: I like, how much better do you feel about the season?

1019
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously they have nine thousand fucking draft picks

1020
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: coming up, but how much better do you feel about

1021
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: the season based on what you say about next year,

1022
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: based on what you saw in the in the two

1023
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 2: playing games. You know what I mean, like, that's my

1024
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 2: that's if I was a fan of one of those teams,

1025
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to see them tanking for the one

1026
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 2: point eight percent chance of being the eleventh place team.

1027
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, that's that's me.

1028
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 5: If you go, I don't nobody tells the truth all

1029
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 5: the time. If you're going to lie to me, make

1030
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 5: it believable. Right to lie tastes good, nigga. You know

1031
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.

1032
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 6: Don't put you some bread awesome ship and stuff it

1033
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 6: in my face and be like, enjoy this.

1034
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. That's what the mass did.

1035
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 3: You know?

1036
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,200

Speaker 2: There's people who really really care about the basketball ship,

1059
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: and there's people who really really don't.

1060
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,800
Speaker 4: And I think the shows for both of those types.
