Speaker 1: On this episode of the Eat Check. It's a Friday, folks,
Speaker 1: Happy Friday. I am heading to Glendale, Arizona tomorrow for
Speaker 1: the Final Four to watch my Yukon Huskies. I don't
Speaker 1: actually have any real allegiance to them except for money,
Speaker 1: but to watch my Yukon Huskies go to the national
Speaker 1: title game. Julius Rando, by the way out for the season.
Speaker 1: That is fucking terrible. Doc Rivers continues on the blame train.
Speaker 1: We play the blame game. I love you bucks, obviously
Speaker 1: are thinking. That's why that's happening. We introduce you to
Speaker 1: Evil Dante DiVincenzo aka Malachi Flint, and now we can
Speaker 1: judge whether the league's sixty five game mandate was a
Speaker 1: success or not. So come on, Anthony, do me a favorite, folks,
Speaker 1: Let's get right into it and drop that motherfucking beat.
Speaker 1: They should be.
Speaker 2: Rihanna all right, as we have no cute stories.
Speaker 1: At the end of the season, we got like the
Speaker 1: biggest probably development is that probably the Sacramento Kings are
Speaker 1: going to ride this thing out into a play and
Speaker 1: that's the only way they can get into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: They had a massive lead tonight or last night. I
Speaker 1: guess because you're listening to this tomorrow on the New
Speaker 1: York Knicks, And guess what they did. They let it
Speaker 1: all slip away, and I think they still lost by
Speaker 1: double digits and a game that they were three and
Speaker 1: a half point dogs too, So terrible, terrible stuff. Kawi
Speaker 1: tweaked his back, he might miss in time. Clippers lose
Speaker 1: to the Nuggets. They are going to try to figure
Speaker 1: out how to get Harden to like be a good
Speaker 1: version of Harden, Like, oh, you don't say, Trista Harden
Speaker 1: is like not good at the end of the season
Speaker 1: or in the postseason. You don't really, you're shocked. Also,
Speaker 1: put the stake through the Rocket's heart and they locked
Speaker 1: up a play in tournament spot. And ad finally says
Speaker 1: the quiet power aloud when he admits that he and
Speaker 1: Braun checked themselves back into a game that the Lakers
Speaker 1: needed to win without telling to Darvin Ham. Not a
Speaker 1: lot of huge stories, but pretty interesting. I tell you what.
Speaker 1: After two months out though, this is the big story.
Speaker 1: Julius Randall will have season ending shoulder surgery. Why didn't
Speaker 1: he just have surgery earlier? I guess he was hoping
Speaker 1: that at some point he come back. This is just
Speaker 1: a very significant blow to a team that desperately needs
Speaker 1: additional wing help. Like Josh Hart is a fine player, right,
Speaker 1: Like he's fine, but when we're asking Josh Hart to
Speaker 1: play forty minutes and hey, Josh, give me a triple double.
Speaker 1: Josh Hart was like a random bench god off the
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers that they got a late first round pick
Speaker 1: for and we got to have Josh Hart be the
Speaker 1: main Dude, that's tough. They are now gonna miss Randall's
Speaker 1: size as well as his offense, I'm sure. To his credit,
Speaker 1: Randall's devastated. We are devastated by the news. He tried
Speaker 1: to come back, but the decision was made by him
Speaker 1: and his team and probably the Knicks to undergo surgery.
Speaker 1: And that means that the Knicks hope this season falls
Speaker 1: squarely on the return of Ogn and Obi in that elbow,
Speaker 1: Oh the Mows. I talked about Og in the context
Speaker 1: of my question of a question to my co host
Speaker 1: Ryan Horvaught that we asked on the other show, but
Speaker 1: I'm Jim tonight. He asked what players have the most
Speaker 1: to lose and to gain in the playoffs this year
Speaker 1: and for me, it's og and Andobi. Here's a snippet
Speaker 1: of our conversation.
Speaker 3: So I was thinking about this last night, and I
Speaker 3: also kind of ripped it off of ESPN, which I
Speaker 3: usually don't even look at their website. I don't watch
Speaker 3: espno other than Scott van Pelt. Shout out Scott van
Speaker 3: Pelt at night, yep.
Speaker 4: But they had the.
Speaker 3: Topic and it was who has the most to gain
Speaker 3: in the end playoffs? And I was thinking who has
Speaker 3: the most the game? But I'm a negative guy, so
Speaker 3: I was thinking who has the most to lose? And
Speaker 3: I was thinking Jason Tatum, right, because I'm a big
Speaker 3: JT guy. A couple of years ago, I had the
Speaker 3: NBA finals futures when Boston started really slow, and then
Speaker 3: last year I had more Boston futures and they didn't
Speaker 3: even make it to the finals or the conference finals
Speaker 3: because they got beat by the Heat, which nobody expected
Speaker 3: because they were a playing team. And the last couple
Speaker 3: of years, I know he's dealt with some injuries, but
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Jason Tatum, if he wants to
Speaker 3: be the face of the I'm not even gonna say
Speaker 3: the face of the league because there's so many dudes now, Jokic, Yannis,
Speaker 3: But I mean he's the best player on the best
Speaker 3: team in the Eastern Conference, the best team in the league.
Speaker 3: But if they don't get the job done, and if
Speaker 3: he doesn't show up and have the clutch stats, the
Speaker 3: clutch numbers, like I legitimately think he has to.
Speaker 4: Average thirty plus the entire playoffs, right.
Speaker 3: For Tatum, if he doesn't get the job done and
Speaker 3: they get bounced early, and he averages twenty two to
Speaker 3: twenty three points per game, shoots like forty percent, turns
Speaker 3: the ball over a bunch.
Speaker 4: How's he viewed next year? Is he still considered like
Speaker 4: an MVP candidate, a top ten five player in this
Speaker 4: league because it's all about the playoffs, it really is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I'd say he has the most to lose in the
Speaker 4: entire playoffs.
Speaker 1: I think he's like a top nine or ten player
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe yeah, but definitely nowhere near the top five.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so either. I mean, it's so
Speaker 4: tough right now, though it changes like every year.
Speaker 3: Jokic, Yannis, em Bead obviously, who else?
Speaker 4: I mean, Steph is still Steph's.
Speaker 1: Not better five? Yes, He's not better than Steph. He's
Speaker 1: not better than Lebron.
Speaker 4: He's say I still got Lebron in my top five.
Speaker 4: I don't care how old.
Speaker 2: He's not better than Kawhi.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not better than a lot of people.
Speaker 1: I would rather have Dame Lollard than Jason Tatum. Really yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean Dame Lillard has shown to be very clutch
Speaker 1: in many, many situations, more than Jason Tatum.
Speaker 4: Player do you think has the most to gain? I'm
Speaker 4: gonna go with Aunt Edwards.
Speaker 3: I think like if Minnesota makes a run, he's so good,
Speaker 3: and I still.
Speaker 4: Feel like him and Shay.
Speaker 3: I feel like there's still people and now Shay's at
Speaker 3: least on some commercials and if you're watching March Madness,
Speaker 3: like he can't get enough Shay and chat. But I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go with Aunt because I still feel like there's
Speaker 3: people that don't know about him. And he could go
Speaker 3: off for thirty forty any night. He could put anybody
Speaker 3: out poster and he's still a baby, like he's still
Speaker 3: a kid.
Speaker 4: He's still got baby fat on him.
Speaker 3: He's like the closest thing to Kobe Michael Jordan I
Speaker 3: could remember, and he's a killer.
Speaker 1: Is obviously a big one. Carl Anthony Towns is a
Speaker 1: big one. If he can play well, come back in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, end up, I'll say him, but I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why, and then I have one other as well.
Speaker 1: But if he can come in and stay out of
Speaker 1: foul trouble, not be the baby cry baby that we've
Speaker 1: known him to be when there's adversity, If him and
Speaker 1: Rudy can play together and keep that defense really solid
Speaker 1: in the half court game, I think the Timberwolves as
Speaker 1: a whole have a lot to gain. But another player
Speaker 1: that has a ton to gain and also a lot
Speaker 1: to lose is og Anobi. Og Anobi is a free
Speaker 1: agent this offseason, and he wants four years, one hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy million dollars. If he's not healthy and he
Speaker 1: can't play in that first round, or if he's not effective,
Speaker 1: the Knicks are going to have a hard time giving
Speaker 1: him that money. And I think there are other teams
Speaker 1: that probably are less palatable or less savory that will
Speaker 1: be suitors of his and may even offer him less money.
Speaker 1: So if he wants to be a Nick and he
Speaker 1: wills his bread, he better show out. And that's maybe
Speaker 1: why he's sitting out right now is to just get
Speaker 1: that inflammation down until it's absolutely critical that he plays,
Speaker 1: because he can play right now. I'm telling you he
Speaker 1: could play right now. It would be slightly painful, but
Speaker 1: he would do it and he would be effective. We
Speaker 1: saw in the game against the Kings and then the Warriors,
Speaker 1: he basically had like a dead shooting arm. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: couldn't even lift it. He wants to play through pain,
Speaker 1: but that's not a good idea. So for him, I
Speaker 1: think he has a lot to gain and lose.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3: That's the other thing I was gonna do right before
Speaker 3: we got to the playoffs, and I do it every
Speaker 3: single year. Is I'm gonna look at upcoming free agents,
Speaker 3: not gonna I'm not gonna like blindly bet their props
Speaker 3: like people do with the NFL incentives. Odell Beckham Junior
Speaker 3: needs thirteen grabs and he's gonna make an extra seventy
Speaker 3: five k.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure Odell Beckham Junior is gonna go out
Speaker 4: there and catch fourteen passes for seventy five K.
Speaker 3: But I am gonna look at guys like Jalen Brunson,
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago for the Dallas Mavericks that
Speaker 3: are dirt. It's a contract here because you know they're
Speaker 3: gonna ball out in the playoffs to get the big
Speaker 3: money deal. So that's a really good point about OG.
Speaker 3: I was looking at Pascal siakam, but then they extended
Speaker 3: Indiana because I think I don't think the Pacers could
Speaker 3: win a playoff series, but if they get the right matchup,
Speaker 3: like we talked about last night, I would love to
Speaker 3: see them against Milwaukee. I know Milwaukee fans don't want
Speaker 3: to see that, but I really want to see that matchup.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they've extended up.
Speaker 4: They didn't.
Speaker 3: I thought that they when they made the trade that
Speaker 3: they signed him up for or signed him up, that
Speaker 3: they extended them for three years.
Speaker 1: No, certainly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see he's a UFA right now, but I
Speaker 4: thought that that was wrong.
Speaker 3: Uhh No, Well, then I might be looking at some
Speaker 3: Pascal Siaka props when we get there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think OG needs to play as well as
Speaker 1: humanly possible in order to get his GWOP. Like I
Speaker 1: think he's trying to get four years, one hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, trying to get thirty mili a year.
Speaker 1: He could play his way like he's trying to get
Speaker 1: his gwop, or he could play his way out of it.
Speaker 1: And as for the Knicks, I like their chances of
Speaker 1: winning a first round matchup, especially if they catch the Cavaliers,
Speaker 1: but with doubt, Julius Randall and a banged up og Anobi,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough sledding in New York for them
Speaker 1: to be the contender that we were hoping for them
Speaker 1: to be, someone that maybe could make some noise and
Speaker 1: shake things up. Give the Boston Celtics or the Milwaukee
Speaker 1: Bucks a little scared, and now nobody's scared. Moving forward.
Speaker 1: In other news, Ah, Doc, Doc, Doc, Why why does
Speaker 1: he do it? Like? What is the deal? You know?
Speaker 1: This is great content, right, we love that. We love
Speaker 1: it when Doc, like an AI generated human being walking
Speaker 1: the earth, blesses us with gold quotes of ignorant gold.
Speaker 1: But I just do not understand why he says these
Speaker 1: things out loud. I say a lot of things out
Speaker 1: loud I should not say. But it would take me
Speaker 1: getting aggregated about two times for me to be like,
Speaker 1: I should be more careful with the words that I choose.
Speaker 1: This means this right, and he, no matter what's going on,
Speaker 1: won't say hand up, I'm struggling. Hand up, I got
Speaker 1: some things to clean up on my end. So who
Speaker 1: is Doc Rivers blaming? Now? At first, he blamed his
Speaker 1: own team, the players, their heads are not into the game.
Speaker 1: He blamed when he came on to the team, and
Speaker 1: like how late in the season it was, and how
Speaker 1: coming in around the All Star Game is just no
Speaker 1: one would know. Let me say, like, this is not
Speaker 1: a job that I would wish on anyone to coach.
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard and Jannis On Dedakupo the latest man, I
Speaker 1: would not want to be an intern in this office
Speaker 1: right now. The latest is the Doc Rivers and the
Speaker 1: Bucks have lost four of the five games last five,
Speaker 1: including losses to the Wizards and the Memphis Grizzlies by
Speaker 1: double digits on the road, like the Memphis Grizzlies have.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know we're on the team. Did you
Speaker 1: know Scottie Pippen Junior was on the Memphis Grizzlies or
Speaker 1: did you think maybe he was still on the LA
Speaker 1: Lakers because I did, No, No, he's getting buckets right now.
Speaker 1: They've lost eight of the last fourteen games. The Bucks
Speaker 1: are now fifteen and fifteen in his tenure as the
Speaker 1: head coach. Remember, Adrian Griffin got fired for being thirty
Speaker 1: and thirteen, So what could it have been? How could
Speaker 1: he be blaming someone so obscure that he becomes a
Speaker 1: segment on this show. Let's take againder shall we?
Speaker 5: It's funny. I've actually been sitting back and watching everything,
Speaker 5: not just our players, but our travel crew, everything, and
Speaker 5: I've made a lot of notes. I will say that
Speaker 5: I won't share that, but we don't bring the necessary
Speaker 5: professionalism seriousness on the road, and that's something that we
Speaker 5: can fix. Uh, that's something we're gonna have to fix.
Speaker 1: I have a co worker who went to Vegas with
Speaker 1: me and he was out every night till three, four am,
Speaker 1: and the boss kept seeing them out. For whatever reason,
Speaker 1: they just kept running into each other. The boss was
Speaker 1: just waking up for the day, getting his steps in,
Speaker 1: and my co host was just coming back for the night.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that. Like poker doesn't start until midnight,
Speaker 1: you get on a heater. Who knows that's fine? Right?
Speaker 1: But like when I hear that, I'm like, man, more
Speaker 1: people trying to hold our guys down. Doc Rivers knows
Speaker 1: the players go out on the road. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the fuck the travel crew though, Like you're blaming
Speaker 1: what does that even mean? The travel crew? Is there
Speaker 1: a part of this NBA ecosystem that I don't quite
Speaker 1: fully comprehend, cause like, the travel crew in my mind,
Speaker 1: and I must be ignorant, I must be. The travel
Speaker 1: crew in my mind, is like booking the flights, getting
Speaker 1: the hotels that are preordained destined for you because it's
Speaker 1: the same team hotel in every fucking NBA city. It's
Speaker 1: the same one every time. It's like the Rits or
Speaker 1: the Four Seasons every time, so they get near your hotels.
Speaker 1: But you got a flight, but it's a chartered flight,
Speaker 1: so that's taken care of. You got the equipment managers,
Speaker 1: you got the guys giving out per diem. What is
Speaker 1: the travel crew? I don't under like, can someone explain
Speaker 1: to me what that is? And he's like, I'm making
Speaker 1: notes and a lot of them, but I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: share what those notes are to you. It feels I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it and it's not gonna sound good, but
Speaker 1: it feels very Trumpian. And I've been making a lot
Speaker 1: of notes, but I will not share what they are.
Speaker 1: Like lots of notes. I've got the greatest notes. I've
Speaker 1: got so many notes, books and books and notes. So
Speaker 1: then I'm like, Okay, this clip could not get worse,
Speaker 1: and it does. Let's check that out.
Speaker 5: As a coaching staff, we have to figure out what
Speaker 5: we need to do different as far as practices and
Speaker 5: training as a travel staff, not talking players. We may
Speaker 5: have to do something different there too, because something's missing.
Speaker 5: And everybody seems happy, you know, but except for me
Speaker 5: after a game.
Speaker 1: Except for me, everybody seems happy except for me. Oh man,
Speaker 1: who's happy?
Speaker 6: You think Dame's happy, he's getting DMPs, he's literally like injured.
Speaker 6: You think Chris Middleton with his inflamed ankles and knees,
Speaker 6: You think he's fucking happy. You think Johannis right now
Speaker 6: is happy with you at fifteen and fifteen.
Speaker 1: You think that John Horst is happy that he has
Speaker 1: three guys, three different men a on the payroll for
Speaker 1: the exact same job, and none of them are doing
Speaker 1: it well. Two guys are at home and they're doing
Speaker 1: it better than the current guy. No one's happy right now.
Speaker 1: No Bucks fan is happy right now, doc more like
Speaker 1: nurse Rivers. Holy shit, this man, how does he do?
Speaker 1: How does he find new ways to plat past the
Speaker 1: blame baton? I swear to God, when Milwaukee flames out
Speaker 1: in the first round, I would not want to be
Speaker 1: the cowboy. I promise you that, because you're getting thrown
Speaker 1: under the bus. You better watch out now. Put in
Speaker 1: your resignation in game six when the Bucks are up,
Speaker 1: cause it's coming.
Speaker 2: That melt folks is coming.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move forward. So I did a video
Speaker 1: about this on social but it's just so improbable that
Speaker 1: I needed to dig into this deeper. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: Malachi Flyn. What's up with Malachi Flynn? Oh? You know,
Speaker 1: just just a role player who made NBA history by
Speaker 1: putting up fifty six and five off the bench, which
Speaker 1: no one in NBA history has ever done ever in life. Ever,
Speaker 1: all the NBA players that have come in come out
Speaker 1: ones that have just been the sixth Man of the Year,
Speaker 1: the Jamal Crawfords of the world. Nope, it's Malachi Flynn
Speaker 1: alone on the rock by himself. So we got to
Speaker 1: break it down. In the season of incredible scoring feats,
Speaker 1: no more shocking stat line than that if you missed it,
Speaker 1: no one blames you. Guess who's putting up fifty points?
Speaker 1: The Evil Dante DiVincenzo aka Malachai Flynn. He's a throw in,
Speaker 1: So who is he? He was a throw win in
Speaker 1: two trays this season. This season came off the bench
Speaker 1: for the Pistons. He became the third non starting player
Speaker 1: in NBA history with fifty. The thing that's crazy is
Speaker 1: like he shot eighteen for twenty five. He went five
Speaker 1: for nine from three, meaning he was shooting every seventy
Speaker 1: five seconds and like in not like game time, in
Speaker 1: real time, and like like set your clock to a time.
Speaker 1: So where is he from? He spent three and a
Speaker 1: half years with the Raptors, had a decent rookie year,
Speaker 1: but of course when you play for Nick Nurse and
Speaker 1: you're not over twenty seven, you're probably not getting any minutes.
Speaker 1: He went from twenty minutes a game to thirteen minutes
Speaker 1: a game, and then he was moved, got traded from
Speaker 1: Toronto to New York and then worse situation, right just
Speaker 1: been much like probably worse Nick Nurse, Tom Thibodeau. You're
Speaker 1: either playing thirty minutes for Nick nurse or you're playing
Speaker 1: three minutes for Tom Thibodau, which is exactly what he
Speaker 1: was doing. He was so deep on the bench we
Speaker 1: didn't even know he was there except for that he
Speaker 1: looked strangely like the other guy on the team getting
Speaker 1: a lot of minutes. Donte Divinceenzo, and then he gets
Speaker 1: shipped off to Detroit in the Evan Fournier deal, which
Speaker 1: sent Quinton Grimes and Evan Fournier to Detroit in return.
Speaker 1: Boy On Bogdanovich and Alec Burks thought it was a
Speaker 1: good trade. In the hindsight, it was not the only problem.
Speaker 1: Monty Williams, third coach for Malachi Flynn, who also hates
Speaker 1: young guys, doesn't want to play him, does not want
Speaker 1: to play him. Dude cannot catch a break. So he
Speaker 1: decided on that night, on that fateful night, he was
Speaker 1: gonna make his own breaks. Yeah, you put me in
Speaker 1: the game, coach, and I am lighting it up. Played
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes a game until the past week that
Speaker 1: he comes off the bench in the first quarter against
Speaker 1: the Hawks and then proceeds to immediately go nuclear nuclear folks,
Speaker 1: twisting diving floaters, mid range jumpers off balance threes for
Speaker 1: three and one. He even had time made time for
Speaker 1: three steals as well, was everywhere all at once like
Speaker 1: the film that won the Oscar, And of course, of
Speaker 1: course the Pistons lost. Still in his incredible game won
Speaker 1: eighteen win twelve. A lot of people, like Malkai Flynn,
Speaker 1: I believe outside of going to Wazoo, he went to
Speaker 1: Santio State, but I cannot be sure. And to be fair,
Speaker 1: he did average nineteen five and five the last five
Speaker 1: games of his rookie year. But I don't know that
Speaker 1: anybody saw this coming, except for maybe Dante DiVincenzo, who
Speaker 1: probably shares a brain with him. Let's see how long
Speaker 1: it takes though, because Monty Williams, he's like, hey boy,
Speaker 1: hey man, hey sir, you're.
Speaker 2: Going back to the bench.
Speaker 1: Moving on, quick question, how do you think the Leeds
Speaker 1: load management rules have gone this year? New rule, new situation.
Speaker 1: How are we doing? What's up? It was? This major
Speaker 1: change impacts things like MVP, all NBA lots of money.
Speaker 1: Of course, so we're starting to get a clearer idea
Speaker 1: of how it's impacted the game. The results actually shockingly
Speaker 1: kind of like the playing tournament pooh poot hated, dismissed positive.
Speaker 1: This season, the following players have surpassed it's their previous
Speaker 1: five year average for games played. Zion has played sixty
Speaker 1: five games compared to his thirty eight game average. Kawhi
Speaker 1: has played sixty eight games compared to his fifty two
Speaker 1: game average. Paul George sixty nine games nice compared to
Speaker 1: his fifty three game average. Lebron sixty seven games compared
Speaker 1: to his fifty three game average. Anthony data Day Davis
Speaker 1: seventy one games compared to a fifty game average. Kevin
Speaker 1: Durant has played sixty nine games nice compared to his
Speaker 1: forty five game average. Others who should surpass sixty five
Speaker 1: games this year CJ.
Speaker 2: McCollum.
Speaker 1: He played sixty games opposed to forty nine in his
Speaker 1: five game average, five year game, five year average per
Speaker 1: each year. You know what I'm trying to say. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Brandon Ingram. He's played sixty three
Speaker 1: games before his injury compared to his fifty three game
Speaker 1: average for the year. Not easy to say, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. Steph Curry played sixty nine
Speaker 1: games as well, opposed to his fifty one game five
Speaker 1: year average and the most games. By the way he's
Speaker 1: played since twenty sixteen. Twenty seventeen, Luca will have played
Speaker 1: more games than at any time since his rookie year.
Speaker 1: You get the point. The list goes on and on.
Speaker 1: Safe to say, Adam Silver is fucking elated. Other than
Speaker 1: Joe el Embiid going down with a very substantial injury
Speaker 1: that kept him from being a true MVP candidate, the
Speaker 1: new rules have been pretty pretty pretty good, and what
Speaker 1: stan Van Gundy said about Zion might apply to the
Speaker 1: rest of the league as well. Run them, run them
Speaker 1: like the horses that they are. Just run them, run
Speaker 1: them around the track, don't let them slow down the
Speaker 1: don't let them sit down, don't let him stand down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember Sam and Gunny was like, Hey, all all
Speaker 1: Zion needs to do is just play as much as possible.
Speaker 1: That's the truth. That's the trick from Duke and until
Speaker 1: he busts through his shoes, keep that man, he's a
Speaker 1: run in. So these guys playing on days that they
Speaker 1: normally might have rested because the new league rules might
Speaker 1: keep them playing all the court. That's all the time
Speaker 1: that we after this episode, the heat check come back
Speaker 1: Monday for an all new episode, and check out the
Speaker 1: feed for past episodes and many episodes which drop unexpectedly,
Speaker 1: like Doc Rivers blaming the travel team. Don't know what
Speaker 1: that means. Do not forget to follow the heat Check.
Speaker 1: If we head down a stretch, that means download, that
Speaker 1: means subscribe, that means tell your friends, all of them,
Speaker 1: even Greg Popovich, who told Doug McDermott at his exit
Speaker 1: interview after last season, you may be one of the
Speaker 1: worst defenders I've ever coached, but you can shoot the
Speaker 1: leather off the ball. Kid. I want to see you
Speaker 1: next September. Tell him, Hey, Pop if you really want
Speaker 1: to hear some sick burns, some truth bombs, listen to
Speaker 1: the Heat Check, but Tristan criek and do not forget
Speaker 1: to follow us at this heat check and at Tristan
Speaker 1: krik on TikTok, Twitter and ig and at some point
Speaker 1: I promise you, I know you do
