Speaker 6: Yeah, do you tell someone when they thought the booger?

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,360

00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 5: Them on TV?

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 6: You know, in a social situation, if it was one

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 6: of your friends and they got the obvious booger, do

Speaker 4: let them dangle?

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 5: Well?

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 6: It just sometimes you do. And just sometimes it's like,

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 6: you know, like if there's someone's talking and it's like

40
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 6: how do you go about it? Do you sort of

41
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 6: just slyly go up them and just tap them, say quick,

42
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 6: you got a booger? Or do you just say whoa whoa,

43
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 6: whoa whoa what? Like my friend Louis who I still

44
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 6: remember to this day. One day I was in that

45
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 6: situation and I'm talking ay, and Louie just goes, LS,

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 6: you have got one huge booger right there.

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 5: And you got your handkees and your Cleanes always hanging

48
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 5: out a pockets.

49
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 6: It just it ends that topic immediately though, and everyone

50
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 6: starts talking about the booger.

51
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: So well anyway, and that seems to be what happened

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: on TNT last night as well, because you had. They

53
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: just kept showing the clips of Dwayne Wade kind of

54
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: going like this, you know, just wiping out his nose,

55
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: trying to send the message to Shack. But eventually you

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: just got to come out and say it. There's a

57
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: booger in your nose. And then you're talking about boogers

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: for five minutes. It's unavoidable. Like you're saying, Lee, that's

59
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: the only thing you're allowed to talk to us, and

60
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: it's the word booger is.

61

Speaker 5: We'll play a little. Is this newslater And we got

88
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: a weird tweeter the Nate Exchange involving me and Kevin Durant.

89
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: But games, lely, get us started. Are you ready to talk?

90
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: Are you ready?

91
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 4: Okay?

92
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Good?

93
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, the lee got

94
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: a huge booger.

95
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 6: Yeah with the mustache as well. Now they get stuck

96
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 6: in that as well.

97
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 5: That is true. The bucks rallied in the fourth to

98
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 5: beat the Nets again one twenty four, one eighteen. They've

99
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 5: clinched a playoff spot, and it's obviously a big win

100
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 5: in terms of tie breakers. But what did you see

101
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 5: from this one? Lee Milwaukee again getting the best of

102
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 5: Brooklyn down the stretch. No James Harden, but yeah, another

103
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: good victory.

104
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you've got Kevin Durant, there's no hollow

105
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 6: victory there from the Milwaukee Bucks. I mean, he was

106
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 6: out there, he was playing hard, and so was Kyrie Irving.

107
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 6: And we've seen this season it is hard in this

108
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 6: sort of Baseball Star format to win two games in

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 6: a row against the same team. But the Bucks did

110
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 6: that last night to clinch the series. And this is

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: huge in terms of the standings because it looks more

112
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 6: and more like these two teams will meet in that

113
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 6: second round of the playoffs, assuming everyone wins out as

114
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 6: they should, and the Bucks are still a game and

115
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,559
Speaker 6: a half back of the Nets, so they can still

116
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 6: grab it. I mean, you'd still think the Nets probably

117
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 6: get it from here, but I think psychologically it's important

118
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 6: as well here for Milwaukee to be like, hey, we

119
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 6: can run with these guys again. No James unsure, but

120
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 6: they had to win the game last night. It wasn't

121
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 6: as though Steve Nash decided to rest his players or anything.

122
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 6: And I think that fourth quarter was key because the

123
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 6: one weakness the Nets have is that, you know, they

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 6: don't love playing defense. I don't want to have to

125
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 6: play They want to just outscore teams. And in that

126
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 6: fourth quarter, trailing by this by six points, the Bucks

127
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 6: really decided to attack the paint. Middleton, Holiday Yarnistevencenzo all

128
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 6: scored high percentage looks. And if you look at their

129
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 6: shot chart from that fourth quarter, only two shots made

130
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 6: from outside the paint. One was a three and then

131
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 6: one was a long two from Chris Middleton. So for me,

132
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 6: I think what was really key here is the Bucks

133
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 6: are like, we have to keep putting pressure on these

134
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 6: guys defensively, and that's what they did again in the

135
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 6: critical moment of that game where it looked like maybe

136
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 6: the Nets are just going to start to open the

137
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 6: gap up a little bit. Here Yanna sat for a minute.

138
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 6: They didn't lose too much ground. He comes back out

139
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 6: there and he led the way. Now, he hit another

140
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 6: four threes last night, but he took twelve, so the

141
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 6: Nets are kind of like, we'll let you have that.

142
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 6: He had a good game, didn't have a huge I mean,

143
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 6: he didn't have a huge game by his standards, but

144
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 6: he got a lot of contribution. Holiday again, Middleton, Devincenzo

145
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 6: guys contributed so impressive back to back wins here from

146
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 6: the Milwaukee Bucks. Looking bigger picture, I think they can

147
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 6: take some things out of this that they know come

148
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 6: playoff time they're going to have to try to exploit

149
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 6: if they are going to beat the Nets in a series.

150
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 6: I would still take the Nets in a series today

151
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 6: for a couple of reasons, but I feel that it

152
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: wouldn't be a sweep or anything like that. I think

153
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 6: the Bucks have got at least the game plan and

154
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 6: they have got the tools to at least make it

155
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 6: competitive here and put the Nets under pressure.

156
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Bucks were down one or three ninety seven,

157
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 5: was about ten minutes to go, and then they responded

158
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 5: with an eighteen to one run TK and obviously changed

159
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 5: the game around and held on the end. Katie had

160
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 5: some good looks at some three pointers that just did drop.

161
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 5: It would have made it like a two point game

162
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 5: or something like that would have been very very close.

163
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 5: But I thought Dante DiVincenzo was awesome for the Buck

164
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 5: that was everywhere last night, And then Lee said it,

165
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 5: Middleton was the closer in this one, going six for six.

166
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: I believe they're in the fourth quarter six.

167
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: For six in the fourth and like you're mentioning Dante

168
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: DiVincenzo for offensive rebounds. I thought he was also pretty

169
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: good as a cutter as well, just finding ways to

170
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: make an impact while being, you know, maybe the fourth

171
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: option at best for that Bucks team. That eighteen to

172
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: one run in the fourth that was massive. Game was teetering,

173
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: felt like the Nets had a chance to really take

174
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: hold of things. But then Middleton and Drew Holliday working

175
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: together I thought was nice because with Drew Holliday being

176
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: such a solid ball handler, such a solid playmaker, Middleton

177
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: doesn't always have to attack.

178
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: The defense head on.

179
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: Sometimes he gets a bent defense, and in that scenario,

180
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: you got an All Star going against maybe the third

181
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: best defender on the NETS team. That's easy money right there.

182
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: You gotta love it. Love the truth telling after the

183
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: game as well. Steve Nash I thought was pretty honest.

184
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: He said they were overall more physical than us on

185
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: both ends. That was one hundred percent true, a fifty

186
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: five to twenty nine rebound advantage for the Bucks also

187
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: outscored the Nets in the paint forty four to thirty.

188
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: That is a clear point in favor for the Bucks.

189
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: Like Lee's saying, they should be able to crush Brooklyn inside,

190
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: and you can see that that was obviously the game

191
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: plan with Giannis shooting the ball quite a bit. Like

192
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: you said, skeets twelve threes, but he also took twelve

193
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: free throws. If you're making eleven of those and you're

194
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: making four threes, that ends up being all right. There

195
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: is certainly a hay to be made for the Bucks

196
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: inside against the Nets. I also like what Nash said,

197
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: We've got a gap to make up here regarding continuity.

198
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: We understand that the Bucks are a team that's been

199
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: running the same offense, been playing together, same schemes on

200
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: defense for years now. This has been a question everybody

201
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: has been asking about the Brooklyn Nets. Have they played

202
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: enough games together with their big three to get things

203
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: going right in the playoffs. Even Steve Nash is saying,

204
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, everybody's saying, you don't need

205
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: to be worried about it. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and

206
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: James Harden are three of the best in the game

207
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: at being able to just roll out the ball and

208
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: go out there and get a win. And that's certainly true.

209
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: But even Steve Nash is saying, I don't know, this

210
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: is a little bit on my mind, and I'm guessing

211
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: that's because it's got to feel a little bit like

212
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Suns versus Spurs for him. You've got the Spurs an

213
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: established team who crushes it inside. Meanwhile, the Suns are

214
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: an offensive first team, just like the Nets are, and

215
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: they're trying to take down a team that's already been

216
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: there and done a little bit of stuff together. And

217
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: I also thought Jannis was telling the truth when he said, yeah,

218
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: this was great. Nobody will care if I don't do

219
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: it in the playoffs. So yeah, I mean, this was

220
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: a fun game, a fun playoff preview, and I think

221
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna look a lot like this in game one

222
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: of this series, assuming they meet in the second round.

223
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, the Nets are gonna give jumpers to Giannis

224
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: to start off with. If he's making them, that's gonna

225
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: be a problem for the Nets end. They still got

226
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: to find a way to keep him off the line.

227
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: But Giannis has to do it in the playoffs or

228
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: else nobody's gonna care about your win on May fourth.

229
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: Ye nobody knows.

230
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: I got this bet going with tasks one hundred dollars

231
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 5: on the line, So a decent little bet here. He

232
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 5: has the Nets go into the finals. And this bet

233
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 5: was made when they acquired James Harden. I said, I

234
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 5: don't know, you know, it's weird to uh just slap

235
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 5: together a super team and go right to the finals

236
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 5: right away. So I took the field. I will say,

237
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 5: if the if Task is going to come through this

238
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 5: hundred dollars from me, he's going to have to earn it.

239
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 5: I mean, the Nets are because I am praying ly

240
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: praying that even if the Nets stay in the second

241
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 5: seed that let's say the Heat fall into the play in,

242
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 5: but play win that game in under the seventh seed.

243
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: I want the Nets have to go through the Heat

244
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: in a first round. Okay, sure, you know it's still

245
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 5: a good Miami team, of course, but I think most

246
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 5: people would have the Nets going on then I want

247
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: them to play the Bucks in the second round because

248
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: as we've seen, yeah, no, no, Harden but obviously the

249
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 5: Bucks are a great team, have a lot of things

250
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: to prove that continuity could be huge, and then maybe

251
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: the Sixers there in the conference finals. I want to

252
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 5: make it difficult if the task is going to take

253
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 5: one hundred dollars for Milan to be difficult.

254
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: So that's you know, that's plausible what you say there.

255
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 6: I mean, the Heat, you know, are going to be tough.

256
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 6: No Jimmy Butler last night, but just like they were

257
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 6: last season, but they finished fifth I think, and made

258
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 6: it all the way to the NBA, so you know

259
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 6: they are going to make the Nets work. The Nets

260
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 6: A yes, would be favored in that series. But I

261
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 6: just think that, you know, if you're looking at the

262
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 6: Bucks last night, again, you just want to say, we

263
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 6: played a really good team, and we played them really

264
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 6: really well in two tough games that we had to

265
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 6: sort of win these games. Like I was saying, Eli,

266
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 6: there wasn't any like resting of players other than obviously

267
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 6: Harden who's injured. But the Nets were trying to win

268
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 6: these games because they want home court advantage and if

269
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 6: they can, they want to overtake the Philadelphia seventy six.

270
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 6: And so you know, the Nets were trying to win

271
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,239
Speaker 6: these games. There was nothing about it here that Milwaukee

272
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 6: did that wasn't in some way, you know, an underscored

273
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 6: victory or anything like that. They had to play hard

274
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 6: and they did and Yannis led the way. But it

275
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 6: wasn't just Yarnis. They got contributions from everybody, and that's

276
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 6: what they're going to need. And Mikey Budenho, he's a

277
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 6: very he's a touch on the side, he's a very

278
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 6: stressed guy on the he hangs off every single basket

279
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 6: and every single play. But listen, he got the jump

280
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 6: downe over the last three days, So good for him.

281
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 5: All right. Our next game, Lonzo Ball bounce back with

282
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: thirty three points TK Pelicans top the Warriors one away,

283
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: one O three. They are holding on by a thread

284
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 5: here with their chances to try and get into this

285
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 5: play in tournament. Would you take away from this one?

286
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: That's right, Ski.

287
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: Just the night after nearly finishing with negative hero points,

288
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: almost becoming a super villain, Lonzo Ball pulled a Loki

289
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: and became a good guy. Thirty three on the night,

290
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: seven threes, a step back jumper with twenty five seconds left,

291
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: really tough shot. UH put the Pelicans up. Then Lee,

292
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: you gotta love it for four from the free throw

293
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: line in the last fifteen seconds to ice things for

294
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: the Pelicans. Obviously, this came just a day after going

295
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: three of eighteen in a loss to the Warriors as well. Apparently,

296
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Lonzo texted Zion after losing that first game, saying I'll

297
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: be better during the second go around. He was true

298
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: to his word, which is not something you can always

299
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: count on from Loki. But just when you thought the

300
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: play in race was over, Pelicans pull off a really

301
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: nice win keep things interesting. There are two games back

302
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: of the Spurs right now. The Spurs got a tough

303
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: schedule here. They've got the Jazz, the Bucks, the Nets,

304
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks, and the Suns twice, plus you can throw

305
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: in a Blazers game. I think they got one more

306
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: as well. The Pelicans, meanwhile, have all playoff teams left

307
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: on their schedule too. It's gonna be tweet going down

308
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: the stretch here. It definitely felt like this could have

309
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: gone the other way and we could be done with

310
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: the play in races, But I don't know. Still a

311
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: little bit of intrigue left here. During the last couple

312
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: weeks of the season.

313
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, do you think the Pelicans can do it lately,

314
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 5: especially with the Spurs, because I think the Warriors sort

315
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 5: of did their part here with the at least the

316
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 5: split from these two. I believe they do have one more, right,

317
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: but you know, that's like they have the tiebreaker, so

318
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 5: that's in their advantage. But maybe it is the Spurs

319
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 5: if there is one of these teams in the West

320
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 5: that falls out and the Pelicans have a chance. But

321
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 5: you're not loving you're doing, You're making a grimace over there.

322
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 6: It just feels like they've got to be almost perfect

323
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 6: down the stretch here the Pelicans to overcome and again,

324
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 6: and I say an experienced team, I mean really that

325
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 6: Spurs team outside of like DeRozan and Paddy Mills, there's

326
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 6: not a ton already gay of courses there as well.

327
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 6: There's not a ton of like sort of Spurs traditional

328
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 6: veterans on that team. But it just feels I would

329
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 6: certainly rather be in the Spurs position than the Pelicans,

330
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 6: but they do have as Trey mentioned, there are really

331
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 6: tough schedule. We've got the Jazz again, then they've got

332
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 6: the Suns to close out. But it could come down

333
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: to again those last two games, and if teams do

334
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 6: potentially rest one or two of those players, and you know,

335
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 6: once they've locked up their position. If that's the case,

336
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 6: because the Sons and the Jazz will probably be battling

337
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 6: to the end anyway for that number one spot. So

338
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 6: maybe that will actually help the Pelicans because the Sons

339
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 6: will play their players. But it was a very impressive

340
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 6: win because again, the Warriors were in control of this

341
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 6: game almost to down to that last minute, and then

342
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 6: and then the the Pelicans pulled it out and lnso

343
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 6: stepped up when I think it was Wiggins hit a three,

344
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 6: he came down hit another one, Steph hit one, and

345
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 6: Lonzo stepped into it with confidence. He didn't shy away

346
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 6: from it. So that was really important. But I should

347
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 6: have brought this up with Seth yesterday. I was looking

348
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 6: at the other day. We might be facing history here, guys.

349
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 6: Stephan Curry is likely at this point to end the

350
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 6: season as the league's leading scorer. If he does, he's

351
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 6: on pace to be the first guy ever to lead

352
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 6: the league in scoring with more threes made than twos made.

353
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 6: Believe that or not? Yeah ah yeah. Back when he

354
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 6: led the league in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, he had

355
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 6: four hundred and two threes. He had four hundred and

356
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 6: three twos.

357
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 4: Did it by one?

358
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, And obviously I looked at James Harden, but he

359
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 6: had so many layups and stuff like that, so he

360
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 6: didn't actually have more threes. But yeah, Steph Curry, he.

361
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: Was up twelve.

362
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 6: I think he's up now. What is he up to

363
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: is fifteen more threes made than twos on the season

364
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 6: at this point.

365
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 5: So okay, so it's looking likely.

366
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 6: It's looking very likely. I think he's about a point

367
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 6: and a half up on Bradley Beal on the average two.

368
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 6: But again, I expect that he'll play every game pretty

369
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 6: much from here out as well, So I think.

370
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: He's gonna do it. We're going to see more history.

371
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 6: History just keeps on happening.

372
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 4: Look at you? Are you going on a nerder? She

373
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: wrote later this week.

374
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 6: It's funny because I was looking around casually yesterday. I think,

375
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 6: I wonder if anyone has addressed this yet, but I

376
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 6: couldn't find it anywhere, So.

377
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: Looking around casually, lean Yeah, Well, it's it's a pretty

378
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 5: unique stut, isn't it.

379
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 6: I mean, when you're thinking about it, like for a

380
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 6: guy who have had more threes made and average as

381
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 6: many as he does. I mean, it's stiff, so it's

382
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 6: not a surprise, but I would have thought if anyone,

383
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 6: maybe Harden did it. But then again, you know, hard

384
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 6: And hit a ton of threes, but he had so

385
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 6: many other ways of scoring as well.

386
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably at the free throw line. A lot of

387
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 5: those were coming to exactly he was living there, especially

388
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 5: that season. There. Okay, that's great, great stat there, Lely. Well,

389
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: let's keep talking about the three ball and one of

390
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 5: my guys hitting a lot of them. Last night. Jim

391
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 5: Hardaway junior made ten three pointers last night, tej another junior.

392
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 5: It's junior month. For forget week, it's junior month. Here

393
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 5: the MAVs rolled past the Heat, who had no Jimmy Butler,

394
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 5: but one twenty seven, one thirteen was the final score.

395
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: I will say, I'm always saying, Timmardoy junior is one

396
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 5: of these days gonna go for fifty. He already had

397
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 5: forty two. Is that just last week that he popped

398
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 5: off for that for some of the weekend maybe, And

399
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 5: now he goes for ten three pointers made, but he

400
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 5: only scored thirty six points.

401
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 4: This is my one.

402
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 5: My guy hit ten threes and he's not even really

403
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: closed the sniff in fifty points, which is weird. But

404
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 5: he shot thirteen and twenty four from the field and

405
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 5: ten of eighteen eighteen three point attempts there from from distance.

406
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: Trivia question, let's throw it out everybody here. He tied

407
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 5: the Mavericks record for threes made in a game with ten.

408
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 5: Timmy did who did he tie?

409
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: Which to?

410
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: Former Mavericks players have also hit ten threes in the game.

411
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 5: No not Dirk Hubert Davis, No not Hubert again you

412
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: now take take it to the shortened three point line season.

413
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: George Cloud, George, that's where we all know photos and

414
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: one more surprising.

415
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 5: I don't remember this happening, but task must have been

416
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 5: on the moon when it did.

417
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 6: Must have been.

418
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: Yes, love this guy Wes Matthews.

419
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's for the Mavericks. I don't remember that happened

420
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: in twenty fifteen apparently, so yeah, anyway, Tim coming through, Uh,

421
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 5: he is is honestly fun as hell to watch when

422
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 5: he's on and this guy catches fire like he is

423
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 5: just the He's lights out when he's in the zone.

424
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 5: I will say too, though, your guy, you're Ozzy rookie

425
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 5: Josh Greenlee. Rick Carlisle was talking him up after the game.

426
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: He said he was like the real difference maker. He

427
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 5: played the entire second quarter and the maps were down

428
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 5: and Carlile was crediting the rookies' energy there that he

429
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 5: brought for this turnaround. So you know, they out scored

430
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 5: Miami thirty three to fifteen on that second quarter. He

431
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 5: was like crashing the boards, Yeah, hitting the floor, had

432
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 5: a couple of beautiful like assist to the corner for

433
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 5: three point shots where he was driving baseline and making

434
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 5: some nice you know, sort of skip passes or chucking

435
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 5: it over the defense there. So he you know, he's

436
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 5: I don't know, we'll see if he can get a

437
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 5: little bit more time here, but bring it. That's what

438
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 5: he's got to worry about, just all these the little things, right,

439
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: stuff like that.

440
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, if you look at his box score,

441
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 6: only four points of four rebounds, but he did have

442
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 6: more of an impact than he finished, plus seventeen in

443
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 6: his minute. So I think he could see that he

444
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 6: was out there just trying to earn that respect from

445
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 6: the coach. And that's right. If he goes out there

446
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 6: and plays hard like that, he's definitely going to get

447
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 6: more opportunity. But you know, he's low in the pecking

448
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 6: or I think he's been down in the in the

449
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 6: G League team there as well. I think he woin's

450
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 6: this season. So you know, it's tough for a rookie

451
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 6: to come in and break there. But yeah, work hard

452
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 6: and you'll get your opportunity.

453
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: Yeah. I saw Josh bo at Bowman fifty five on

454
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 5: Twitter pointing out that the Mavericks best lineup it was Luca,

455
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: Tim Harway Junior, Josh Green, Dorian Finney Smith and Dwight Powell.

456
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 5: At twelve minutes, they scored thirty eight points. They you know,

457
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 5: outscored the Heat by eighteen. They did everything. They were

458
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 5: hitting the threes. Of course a lot of that was

459
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: Tim Hardaway Junior and Luca, but then four steals and

460
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: three blocks.

461
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 4: I love that lineup just in the sense that.

462
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 5: It's like it's Luca, he's the show, Tim Hardaway's like

463
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 5: the flame thrower, and then it's these like gritty guys

464
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 5: that are doing like all the dirty things in Phinney

465
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 5: Smith and then Josh Green now and of course Dwight

466
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 5: Powell even too. So yeah, it did well against the

467
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 5: Heat again. Mavericks Trey have moved up to fifth spot

468
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 5: in the Western Conference as we keep our eyes on

469
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 5: that five six seven race specifically.

470
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: Never waivered man.

471
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: I always thought it was going to be in the

472
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: Mavericks getting out of that play and spot. It all

473
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: comes down to making threes for them. If Tim Hardaway

474
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: is going to hit ten in the game, they're gonna

475
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: look incredible. If he's gonna go, you know, two for twelve,

476
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: then they're not going to look as good. Because if

477
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: you're able to start a Mavericks recap by talking about

478
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: two players before you even get to Luca, that is

479
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: huge for the Mavericks because Luca's gonna be there. He's

480
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna perform almost every single night. It's just a matter

481
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: the role players stepping up and the biggest way that

482
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: they can help, for the most part is making the

483
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: threes that they get off these wide open passes from

484
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: the donk.

485
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 5: All Right, the final games from last night, I'll throw

486
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 5: them all at you tray and you can go wherever

487
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 5: you want. We had Devin Booker scoring thirty one as

488
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 5: the Suns dominated overtime to beat the Calves.

489
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: One thirty four.

490
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 5: To one eighteen. It was an overtime game. We had

491
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 5: garbage time in overtime. May see that often. LaMelo Ball

492
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 5: had a big fourth quarter, Good night for the Ball

493
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 5: brothers to help the Hornets escape Detroit with a victory.

494
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 5: Buddy Hild eighteen points, eleven boards for Buddy Hild to

495
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 5: help the Kings top the Thunder one oh three ninety nine.

496
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure many of you out there were watching.

497
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 4: That one and then one.

498
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: I did watch.

499
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 4: I stayed up late.

500
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 5: The Clippers rallied to beat the Raptors one oh five

501
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: one hundred, ended the Clippers three game skid, but obviously

502
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 5: not helping the Raptors chances of getting into the play

503
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 5: in tournament. I think Fred van Vliet after the game

504
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 5: said we're the best worst team of all time, or

505
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 5: something along the lines to what we've been saying all

506
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 5: season long. I think there's some truth to it. But

507
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 5: that was a tough one. Where do you want to go?

508
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Ray well Skeet's just sort of mentioned it as SportsCenter

509
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Snapchat said big night for both balls, twenty three and

510
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: six for LaMelo last night and highlights galore. The big

511
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: one this time was a magic Johnson bullet passed to

512
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: a McDaniels for a dunk underneath. He had another sick

513
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: dime to a Zeller for a dunk underneath. The guy

514
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: plays with such functional flare. You know, all of his

515
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: highlights I feel like seemed necessary. Lee. You were talking

516
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: about that crazy switch hand layup he had a night ago.

517
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 4: And that it's like he's weaving around the defense to

518
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 4: do it. It's not just pure highlight.

519
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: It's like it felt completely in the flow of the game,

520
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: and that's just exactly how he's playing. Lamello went for

521
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: eleven in the fourth quarter, hit a couple of clutch threes,

522
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: hit a fifteen foot floater that was massive. It was

523
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: certainly a big night for both balls. The only other

524
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: note I've got from this is Serge Ibaka rocking the

525
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: leather Man inspector gadget fit. I think Grant Hill called

526
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: him Darth Vader at one point.

527
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: Quite the look.

528
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: Quite the look for Surge with the black mask as

529
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: well and the bucket hat.

530
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

531
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: I would love to see if his arms are, you know,

532
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: made of metal and very stretchy's.

533
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 6: Looking like Kylo Wrin maybe why you know that one

534
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 6: a bit more but you know, I mean Doth obviously

535
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 6: with the with the mask and the stuff on the

536
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 6: front of the bag cape. But Kylo was a little

537
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 6: bit more tight, wasn't He was a little a little

538
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 6: more buttoned up, I think.

539
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: But I think it's a perfect combination of the two.

540
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 3: Really, you know what.

541
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 6: I think this is a little.

542
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: More Kylo re matrix vibe to me too.

543
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, that too, that too.

544
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: You'd never see a bucket had on the matrix though,

545
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: that's let's no, no, I'm.

546
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 5: Obviously talking about the trench boat there or whatever. Yeah,

547
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 5: that's well, can you go Can they go back and

548
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 5: like digitally put a bucket het on uh on the Yeah,

549
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 5: I would like to watch that again.

550
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 4: The matrix was missing was a bucket head?

551
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 5: Hey, with matrix far is coming out.

552
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: Maybe they've added the bucket to the matrix.

553
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 5: Cool man. Uh yeah, that was a tough loss too.

554
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 5: There for the wraps again, they're probably out of it.

555
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 5: And uh oh, I don't know if you guys saw

556
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 5: Siakam on the fast break a little out of control.

557
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 5: This is very late. They needed a score. I thought

558
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 5: he had. Kem birch open ken Burch has good hands. Hey,

559
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 5: he's not Aaron Bates. You know he's not lend Siakam.

560
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 5: I know you're a little jaded with some of the

561
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 5: centers you've had to play with this year, but you

562
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: can throw them the ball on the fast break, you

563
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 5: might be able to catch it and finish and instead

564
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 5: Sakam like, oh, I just sort of had his head down.

565
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 5: He's just like he looked just sort of control at

566
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 5: times with that hurky, jerky sort of dribbling style that

567
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 5: he hasn't I think it was I think it was

568
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 5: Paul George that ended up taking the chart. It was

569
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 5: bang bangs moving a little bit, but was not helped

570
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 5: by just again, he just appears to be out of control.

571
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 5: So it's like, uh yeah, that's gonna get called the chart.

572
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 5: That was a tough, tough play there. I don't know

573
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: if you were up leally watching that one or caught

574
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 5: the highlights.

575
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 6: I think you know, I wasn't not watching that one

576
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 6: like it's it's been Honestly, the Raptors just they need

577
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 6: this season just to end in getting ready, yes, because

578
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Aaron Baines, I honestly thought this

579
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 6: is a great signing for the Raptors. It just hasn't

580
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 6: worked out for him, but they just the season has

581
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 6: never really been able to get going, you know, and

582
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 6: I mean Pascal and Nick Nurse got into it as

583
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 6: well a couple of times. Freddy's been pretty good for them.

584
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 6: But it's just it's just something you're just looking for,

585
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 6: that one little glimmer of hope, and it just really

586
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 6: hasn't been there for the Raptors at all. I don't

587
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 6: think so. And this season, and look forward to next season,

588
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 6: they'll be back. The Raptors will be back.

589
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I can't wait until I get to come

590
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 5: on the podcast and say the Raptors are back next season.

591
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 5: I look forward to that screaming that at all of you. Yeah, okay,

592
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 5: so those are the games we're gonna get into though.

593
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 5: A little is this news?

594
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: Is this news throwing some.

595
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 5: Headlines at you guys and to everybody in the stream team,

596
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 5: everybody listening, and well, you tell me, tell me whether

597
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 5: or not they're newsworthy. The first one is from woesh.

598
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: ESPN sources Nate Jorkrin's future with the Indiana Pacers uncertain

599
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 5: due to issues with players and staff. This came out

600
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 5: of nowhere last night TK, but is this news that

601
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: Nate Bjorkran might be on the hot seat there in Indiana.

602
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 4: Of course, this is news.

603
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: We've got an NBA coach on the hot seat because

604
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: of Big Beef. You think I'm joking, but if you

605
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: only watched Big Beef rebound highlights, you would have seen

606
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: a Pacers team getting beefed up on the regular The

607
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: last three twenty rebound game have come against the Pacers,

608
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: six of the last ten, all of them since April. But,

609
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: like a lot of people, this is a little odd

610
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: to me. Pacers were hot at the start of the season.

611
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: They really struggled right as the year turned over to

612
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. They've been pretty much a five hundred

613
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: team since then, thirty and thirty four on the season,

614
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: which is maybe a disappointment because the Pacers haven't been

615
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: under five hundred since twenty fifteen. That's the season Paul

616
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: George missed most of the year with a broken leg.

617
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: Just like that year, injuries have been a problem for the.

618
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: Pacers this year. TJ.

619
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: Warren has missed all but four games, Miles Turner has

620
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: played one of the last fifteen games. Kris Lavert missed

621
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: half the season after his health scare, Jeremy Lamb came

622
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: into the season hurt, missed the first half of the season.

623
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: Brogden and Sibonis those guys have even missed time just

624
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: eight and nine games, respectively, but that's about fifteen percent

625
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: of this season, plus they've got all these other injuries.

626
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: The most reliable players for the Pacers this year have

627
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: been TJ McConnell, Justin and Aaron Holliday. From a game's

628
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: played perspective, and that to me sounds like a team

629
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: that would be under five hundred. But obviously it's a

630
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: little bit more like that more than that, because some

631
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: of the words you're hearing in these reports are that

632
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: Jorkrin is controlling or abrasive or over communicative, which really

633
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: just seems like Nate Bjorgen is kind of getting on

634
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: everybody's nerves and unfortunately for him, that's a little bit

635
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: of part of this job too, something that's probably different

636
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: if you're a head coach compared to an assistant coach.

637
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: We see a team that's struggling to stay afloat during

638
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: a tough injury season. Internally, the tensions have got to

639
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: be even higher. You're throwing a new voice who's rubbing

640
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: people the wrong way, and there can certainly be problems.

641
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of you know, random one

642
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: year head coaches in the history of the NBA, so

643
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: it's not a total surprise, but it definitely came out

644
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: of nowhere.

645
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, Lee, what do you think about this?

646
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

647
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 6: Well, I feel a little bad for it because they

648
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 6: have had injuries, but everyone has had to deal with injuries.

649
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 6: They go off to good stuff six and two, and

650
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 6: it was kind of like, here we go again with

651
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 6: the Paces. It's almost like the Grizzlies when they would

652
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 6: just place their coach and they just like the guys

653
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 6: know each other so well, they just go out there

654
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: and perform and sneakily get all these wins. But the

655
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: wheels really have fallen off in the last month or so. Again,

656
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 6: you're missing a lot of players due to injury, so

657
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 6: it's tough. But it just feels as though things are

658
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 6: different there in Indiana this season than they have been

659
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 6: in seasons gone by, where they just can't They've been

660
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 6: getting blown out by teams as well at home, which

661
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 6: is a bad sign. So it sounds like, I don't

662
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 6: know if he survives. He's only really got one guaranteed

663
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 6: year left on that contract, so he might he might

664
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 6: be out the door, but tough situation for him to

665
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: come into. Their injuries, of course happened to everybody. But

666
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 6: if he's sort of getting on everyone's nerves in the

667
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 6: entire organization, might not be a long stint there for him.

668
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 6: So the paces Zilla sort of summed it up well

669
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 6: this morning said the disastrous season has been sneakily going

670
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 6: under the radar, but not anymore. So Yeah, I think

671
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 6: that's a good way of summing it up.

672
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look too, this is wo was reporting this.

673
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: You know there's some truth to this whoever he's talked to,

674
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: and you're going to and like the Pacers beat reporters

675
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 5: are backing this up. I saw J Michael of The

676
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 5: Indie Star. He wrote that b Yorkrin can be too

677
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 5: much of a micro manager and again controlling, there's that

678
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 5: word TK. I guess Brogden and Sibonis have had his ears.

679
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 5: So somebody in the stream team saying that Sabonis was

680
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 5: seen yelling at Bjorkrin. I probably had a frustration way

681
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 5: back in January there. So this is sort of a

682
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 5: first year coaching thing. You got to learn your way,

683
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 5: but it has a lot about relationships, and I'd be

684
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 5: worried that he'll be there because this feels to me

685
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 5: pretty similar to what happened to Lloyd Pierce with the Hawks.

686
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 5: I mean, you start losing the locker room, the losses

687
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 5: keep piling up, there's more and more frustration, and it's

688
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 5: tough to get it back, I think, and I you know,

689
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: you just never know if Nate Yorkrin can do that.

690
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 5: And then on top of that, you see Nate McMillan,

691
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 5: of course, who was the coach. Remember he got an extension.

692
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: He was like fired a.

693
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 5: Week later and like that was weird. But you're like, Okay,

694
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 5: they're tired of losing in the playoffs in the first

695
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 5: round all the time. You know, Nate always gets them there.

696
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 5: They have an identity defensive minded, play slow. But then

697
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 5: he's gonecause they wanted to go on to bigger and

698
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 5: better things. So they bring in Nate Yorkrin, try and

699
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 5: play faster and try and choo a lot more threes,

700
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 5: a little more modern game. But yeah, Nate now with

701
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 5: the Hawks like obviously doing really well. That team got healthier,

702
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 5: so that helps.

703
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: I get that.

704
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: But yeah, they're up to the fifth seed and now

705
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: are knocking on the four seat there, so that doesn't

706
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 5: help Yorkren as well. But yeah, I don't know, we'll

707
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 5: see this is never good. I don't like his chance

708
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: as really like to sort of save this or turn

709
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: it around. Heuse Once this stuff gets out there, Oh god,

710
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 5: that means it's really bad again. I think if Woes

711
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 5: is dropping this bomb with what do we have eight

712
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 5: games to go to? The timing of this is even

713
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 5: a little fascinating to me. And this is a team

714
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: that's in the play in tournament. You know, this isn't

715
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: like possibly you know, Luke Walton with the Kings and

716
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 5: I know they're trying to get in still, but they're

717
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 5: not gonna make it and stuff like that. Like this,

718
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 5: this is a team that is in the mix. They've

719
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 5: just been floundering. But there's a big report from Shams

720
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 5: and I think it was Sam Amick on the Athletic

721
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 5: basically going through the coaches on the hot seat Lee

722
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 5: And we've done this before and I don't think many

723
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: of the names have changed from these guys that are

724
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 5: plugged in. It's obviously Nate Yorkrin, Terry Stotts with the

725
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 5: Portland Trailblazers, just in the sense that he's been there

726
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 5: so long and if they continue to struggle that maybe

727
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 5: they just go with a new voice. Mike Budenholzer, as

728
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 5: we've said a million times around this podcast, Yeah, if

729
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 5: they'll lose in the first or second round or get

730
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 5: embarrassed in a series, that he probably is the one

731
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 5: change you're making, because you're not obviously moving on from

732
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 5: really your three core guys in the honest Chris Middleton

733
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 5: and Drew Holiday and then who else did they are?

734
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: Kings?

735
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 5: Are King Walton, Luke Walton and definitely not the King

736
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: and what was the fifth name? I'm forgetting Scotty Brooks.

737
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 5: Thank you, Scotty Brooks, right right, right right.

738
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 6: I think he's had a contract anyway as well as

739
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 6: Scotty Brooks. He might have done enough to get an

740
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 6: extension here. Who knows, but I think, uh yeah, I

741
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 6: think Budenholz there is an obvious one in Luke Walton.

742
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 6: I think he's as good as going anyway. I think

743
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 6: it's very, very tough to see him staying home with

744
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 6: the Kings next season. And Terry Stotts is almost like

745
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 6: almost like Scott Brooks there in Okay. See, it's like

746
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 6: he's been there so long. If they don't really make

747
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 6: a good strong run into the playoffs, it's almost like

748
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 6: we just need a new voice in there. Anyway, try

749
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 6: to mix things up, because I think that would be

750
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 6: the first move the Blazers would make before trading potentially

751
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 6: ce J McCollum, if that's what they thought they needed

752
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 6: to change things up a bit.

753
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 4: All right.

754
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 5: Our next headline this one from Chams and the Athletic

755
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 5: the Hornets Miles bridges out ten to fourteen days in

756
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: health and safety protocols. Is this news?

757
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

758
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 5: It is because he was playing really, really well and

759
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 5: the Hornets are in a playoff race here trying to

760
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: either either get up to the sixth seed or obviously

761
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: stay on the seventh seed there in.

762
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 4: The playing tournament.

763
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 5: He's only averaging twelve point four points per game six

764
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: boards per game this season in his third campaign. But

765
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 5: over the last little while, I think it was over

766
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 5: the last six games, Leley was was scoring close to

767
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 5: twenty two points per game. Over twenty points per game,

768
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 5: more than that benchmark that you're tired of when we

769
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 5: were talking to Seth on yesterday's podcast.

770
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: But The timing of this is brutal for the Hornets because.

771
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 5: LaMelo Ball just comes back, my League Mom comes back

772
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 5: both from their injuries where they were out multiple weeks,

773
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 5: and now they say goodbye to Bridges who was filling

774
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 5: in for another injured guy, and Gordon Hayward who's been

775
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 5: out for like basically since early April. So I got

776
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: a month with that spring right foot. So they're just

777
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 5: like training to keep their head above water. They just

778
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 5: like they get one guy back and then another goes

779
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 5: out and they get him back in another guys. It

780
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 5: just sucks for the Ornets.

781
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that month of April was really good there for

782
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 6: Bridges in sixteen games, averaging nineteen points, seven rebound, shooting

783
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 6: fifty two percent from the field and forty seven percent

784
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 6: from three point range. He really did step into that

785
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 6: role and perform it well for them. So this is

786
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 6: a blow. And also just as we get LaMelo back,

787
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 6: he and Bridges have been so great. We've got Eric

788
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 6: Collins on the call. I mean, that's something we're really

789
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 6: going to miss. But Eric Collins actually makes any play

790
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 6: sound awesome anyway. But yeah, this is this is tough

791
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 6: and you just hope, you know, like every team though

792
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 6: as well. Like we're just talking about the Paces, they're

793
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 6: dealing with injuries to all their sort of key players

794
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 6: at some point this season, but they are able to

795
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 6: just hang in there, and if you look at their record,

796
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 6: they're actually what a game and a half up on

797
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 6: the Paces themselves. So it doesn't feel like James Barrego's

798
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 6: in any trouble at all. It feels like he's done

799
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 6: a very good job with everything that he's had this season.

800
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 6: So hopefully, you know, i'd like to see the Hornets

801
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 6: get into the playoffs somehow. I don't know who that

802
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 6: would be the expense of, but it'd be fun to

803
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 6: watch them. I think if they're healthy, as with everything,

804
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 6: you know, they're a chance to at least, you know,

805
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 6: compete in the playoffs. I don't think they've win around,

806
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 6: but I don't think they'd get swept either.

807
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, So this is now Bridges and what we just

808
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 5: had Dennis Shruder, similar situation right Trey when he's out

809
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 5: for basically the rest of the regular season is what

810
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 5: we're getting.

811
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 4: We really have two weeks left in the latch time.

812
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 5: You know, it's ten to fourteen DS, so we're not

813
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 5: going to see either Dennis Shruder or Miles Bridges until

814
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 5: possibly a playoff series.

815
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and both teams.

816
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: Are kind of in the same scenario right now where

817
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: they're just trying to get the number six and stay

818
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 1: at at least number six, right, And that's why.

819
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 4: To me it's news. It's certainly news because.

820
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss the Lamello to Miles Bridges highlights for sure,

821
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: But as long as Bridges is back in time for

822
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 1: the play in tournament or for the playoffs, same with Shrewd,

823
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't actually think this is really news. The Hornets

824
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: have already exceeded expectations. They are going to be a

825
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: playoff team, which I don't think a lot of people

826
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: thought was gonna be the.

827
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 4: Case coming into this season. Already a good year.

828
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: If Miles Bridge is able to get back in time

829
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: and actually play in the postseason, all good.

830
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. What is the update to on Gordon Hayward? Like,

831
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 5: does he know when he's coming back? I know he

832
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 5: was like, you know, gonna be reevaluated. That was the

833
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: last I think we heard, but that was a long

834
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 5: time ago. Now when are they reevaluating Gordon Hayward? Has

835
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 5: he got his haircut? Yet what's going on?

836
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, nothing, nothing popping out so far. It has been

837
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 6: very quiet though.

838
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, three days ago he got out of his

839
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: walking boot. Oh okay, So I mean doesn't make it

840
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: sound like he's coming back right away.

841
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: No, no, okay, So I guess we'll be keeping our

842
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 5: eye on the Gordon Hayward situation. Oh for a long

843
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 5: long time. All right. Final one, probably my favorite headline

844
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 5: from the bunch here, but again, is this actually newsworthy?

845
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 5: It's from SI dot com and we're showing you a photo.

846
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 5: The headline is Sons Gorilla mascot signs first ever mascot

847
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 5: apparel endorsement deal.

848
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 4: Look at this gun, drilla, this guy? Uh so Trey

849
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 4: get us started? Is this news?

850
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 5: The Son's mascot just signed in a ap peril deal,

851
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 5: an endorsement deal.

852
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, this is news only because it's hilarious.

853
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 4: The picture of a gorilla signing a contract. Are you

854
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: kidding me? That's a great picture.

855
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Also, the one of the gorilla doing an arena walk

856
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: just dripping in designer a hilarious thing.

857
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 4: You don't know who in the world is.

858
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: Gonna be watching a gorilla mascot walk into a game

859
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: and say, I gotta get what.

860
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 5: That gorilla wants.

861
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Give me the gorilla, give me that gorilla glue, but

862
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: shout out to the gorilla getting a bad I think

863
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: they called it an mcm bag as well. Everything's coming

864
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: up suns this season. Their mascot just signed an endorsement deal.

865
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the endorsement deal is with a like a

866
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 5: luxury brand, right, I guess in the area. It's not

867
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 5: with like a particular just straight up like you know,

868
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 5: like bait or something like that. It's a boutique, right,

869
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 5: BOUTI Yeah, that's like, guess the word I'm looking for.

870
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 4: So he's gonna he might have all this stuff basically

871
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 4: exactly right, exactly right. Can't wait to see what he

872
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 4: wears next, which is actually it's actually kind of confusing.

873
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I feel like the gorilla doesn't usually wear pants, right,

874
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: usually usually just going with the suns, like a button

875
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: up warm up.

876
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 4: Look, yeah, yeah, I can't pants.

877
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 6: I can't.

878
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: He's usually just going, you know, gorilla for out when

879
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: he's jumping off a trampoline or whatever. So a little

880
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: disingenuous to me if he's gonna be pitching pants, I can't.

881
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 4: I can't get on board with that.

882
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: If the gorilla is gonna be telling me you got

883
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: to get these pants and he's not wearing them in

884
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: I don't know.

885
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Lee, what do you think about this? The gorilla

886
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 5: is sawning this apparel?

887
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 6: Well, for me, the gorilla is the og mascot of

888
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 6: the NBA. Still, I think he's the one that sort

889
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 6: of stood out the most. I'm glad to see him

890
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 6: getting a little bit of recognition through through this. But

891
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 6: do you think all the previous gorillas also get a

892
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: cut of the you know, they get their own shoes

893
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 6: and stuff, because they must be. I mean, I'm guessing

894
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 6: there's probably been four or five of them now throughout

895
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 6: the years. I mean, he's been around since the early eighties,

896
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 6: I think at the Gorilla So, you know, I wonder

897
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 6: what the hierarchy is amongst gorillas in the in the

898
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 6: history of the of the Suns there.

899
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 4: So hold on hold, what are you asking?

900
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 5: Are you saying all the people that have previously played

901
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 5: the gorilla, yeah, in the mascot, if they get like

902
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: kick back from this boutique, because.

903
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean they're all part of the one Gorilla family.

904
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 6: I mean.

905
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they're done.

906
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 5: Man, like they're they're, they're, they're retired.

907
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 4: But I don't get there.

908
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 5: Are four or five people playing the Gorilla and a

909
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 5: rotating pig.

910
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I'm saying over the history of the

911
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 6: Gorilla's lifestan, there has to have been because I think, yeah,

912
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 6: I mean, I think the Raptor is still the same

913
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 6: Raptor from the inception, but he must be getting up

914
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 6: there too.

915
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, we know, we know, Benny the Ball has

916
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 5: been a couple of different people. Yeah, even since you know,

917
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 5: we've been following the mascot game closely.

918
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

919
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 5: Okay, what other mascot would you like to see get

920
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: an endorsement deal? Get thin some a key threads lely.

921
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 6: Who Yeah, Yeah, I think Hugo. Hugo and Gorilla are

922
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 6: the two that I just sort of think are the

923
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 6: best mascots.

924
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 5: I mean more than ours, more than the Raptor and

925
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 5: Bennie the well Well, Raptor and the Ball are good,

926
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 5: that is true.

927
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 6: But I sort of remember Hugo when he did the

928
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 6: the Summersault three sixty dunk and then sat on the rim. Yes,

929
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 6: I remember that from like I think it was All

930
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 6: Star weekend.

931
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 5: We had a mascot dunk contest. I think you could

932
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 5: search for it.

933
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 6: But I just remember those early days of the Suns.

934
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 6: I think it was what was there, America West Arena

935
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 6: or whatever it was called there, and the gorilla coming

936
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 6: down going crazy like it was just I mean, because

937
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 6: there's still no connection between Gorilla and Phoenix, is there,

938
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 6: Like like it's just like, hey, we're just going with

939
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 6: a mascot, let's go with the gorilla, all right, that works.

940
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 5: I think there is a story to it that I

941
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 5: can't recall after yeah, like a reason why it happened.

942
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, but no, I you know, Benny, Benny

943
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 4: is great.

944
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 6: Benny is entertaining no doubt about him, so is the Raptor.

945
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 6: But I just feel Gorilla and Hugo for mea they're

946
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 6: sort of like they're just my my all time faves.

947
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 4: I think Hugo has already got a Jordan deal.

948
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wears Eleven's usually he's got a he doesn't

949
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: have to get him from a resale shop.

950
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 4: He's getting him straight from the man himself.

951
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 7: But I love the idea that the previous gorillas have

952
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 7: gorilla equity. They get to share in any profits that

953
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 7: the Gorilla may a crew in the future.

954
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 4: If you got shares, you got a fractional gorilla here.

955
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 6: Well, I think because you're a custodian of the gorilla

956
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 6: costume market, you don't know one is the gorilla. So

957
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 6: it's like you've got such a reputation to uphold. I mean,

958
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 6: the og gorilla. You know, he was going crazy. So

959
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 6: the next guy has to like make it a seamless transition.

960
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 6: So it's like they're all you know, they're all together

961
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 6: and the one team, the one Gorillas.

962
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 5: Okay, So like that's like me moving on from the podcast.

Speaker 4: You guys sliding in. I don't know, Danny LaRue for.

Speaker 4: Tweet out the Night?

994
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 5: Wow, okay, tweet the Night. It's a little weird and

995
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 5: it has a little bit of a backstory to it.

996
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 5: A few days ago I decided for I still don't

997
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 5: really know why, but I was going to share the

998
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 5: ads or the graphics, slash art, whatever you want to

999
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 5: call it, that are on the top of the backboards

1000
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 5: for every single NBA arena. This is something I've just

1001
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 5: been taking screen grabs of all season long, and I

1002
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 5: finally acquired all thirty of them, and I was like, well,

1003
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 5: what am I going to do with this dumb folder

1004
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 5: now in my desktop? Hell, I'll start a Twitter thread

1005
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 5: and I'll just tweet them out and a lot of

1006
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 5: you are any responded, Danny LaRue could never dream of

1007
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: having the tenacity and the commitment and someone like I

1008
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 5: do that, I do have to do something like that.

1009
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: He could sick o Skeets, you can't touch him with

1010
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 1: the screenshots.

1011
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 4: Come no, no, So okay, so yeah I did this.

1012
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 5: You can go check it out. Look at me up

1013
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 5: on Twitter at j Skeets. But anyway, one of them,

1014
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 5: when I was showing the Brooklyn Nets top of their backboard,

1015
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 5: I tweeted the photo of it. There it is, and

1016
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 5: I said, the Brooklyn Nets with the Red Bull energy drink.

1017
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 5: Y'all think KD Kevin Durant knows who Max for stopping

1018
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 5: is obviously f one racer four team Red Bull there

1019
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 5: in Formula one. TK and I are all into it,

1020
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 5: not just throwing it out there. I don't know, you know,

1021
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 5: I just needed something to say with these dumb photos.

1022
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 5: That was putting in this thread. So Trey and I

1023
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: started talking about it again. On last night's Top Shot

1024
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 5: Hot Boys, it came up again. I got a Kevin

1025
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 5: Durant moment, you know, Tk's like once again down on

1026
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 5: you think Katie knows? And we were like debating it.

1027
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm skeptical. Why would he know who

1028
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 5: Maxburt Stopping is?

1029
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: Like?

1030
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 5: Is he an F one racer? A fan? I've never

1031
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 5: heard him talk about it. Trey, you were like a

1032
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 5: little bit like maybe he is, Like how do we

1033
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 5: know he's not. He was out for a while, wasn't

1034
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 5: playing basketball, Maybe he picked up a new sport. Maybe

1035
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 5: he's always been a fan for all we know. So

1036
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 5: I said, Hey, I'm gonna tweet at Kevin Durant. Let's

1037
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 5: find out this guy responds to people. So I tweeted

1038
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 5: at some point last night before I was about to

1039
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 5: go to bed, Hey, Kevin Durant at Katie Trey five,

1040
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 5: random question, but do you know who Max ver Stopping is?

1041
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 5: I'm asking for a friend. I was asking for that friend.

1042
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: Trey Kirby me. He responded to me because Kevin Durant

1043
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 5: is on Twitter. Though it was a weird response. Yeah,

1044
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 5: you got it, joke, Reddy holy Man, kay d geez,

1045
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 5: the trolls have gotten to you. Man. I'm just asking

1046
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 5: you a simple question and I just responded No. I

1047
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 5: was just legit curious if you were an F one fan.

1048
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 5: Tray Kirby thought you might be appreciated response. So there

1049
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 5: it is. I guess he is, or at least he

1050
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 5: knows who max verst staph In is TK. So in

1051
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 5: the end, you were right, though, a man, Kevin Durant

1052
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 5: needs a hug. Man holy He's just.

1053
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 4: Like, you know, you get on Twitter, He's like, ah,

1054
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 4: what do you want? What are you gonna say?

1055
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 5: Why are you gonna make fun of you? No, I

1056
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 5: just want to know if you were an F one fan.

1057
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

1058
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: It's a tough night for Kevin Durant took another loss

1059
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: to the Bucks. He was obviously ready to throw down

1060
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: on Twitter last night, but I gotta be honest with

1061
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: the skeetz. I had a little bit of inside information.

1062
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: Here.

1063
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: This is a photo of me from the twenty seventeen

1064
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: NBA Finals.

1065
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 4: That's me, that's.

1066
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: Naymar and they're in the orange jacket. That's the one

1067
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: and only Lewis Hamilton getting ready to watch Kadi take

1068
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: the court for the Warriors in the finals for the

1069
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: first time. This is twenty seventeen. You have to imagine

1070
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: perhaps they had some sort of interaction there and then,

1071
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: Like I was saying on the stream last night, drive

1072
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: to Survive is huge, man, How can you ignore it

1073
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: at this point, especially if you're an internet kind of

1074
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: guy like Kevin Durant. Truly, he's had the time to

1075
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: check it out here and there still haven't heard back

1076
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: from him yet though on who he thinks is gonna

1077
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 1: win the Barcelona GP this weekend.

1078
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 4: We shall see.

1079
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. We got to find out how much

1080
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 5: of a fan he is. Is he actually watching qualifying?

1081
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 5: Is he into the racist or did he just because

1082
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 5: of Drive to Survive know who he is? Sure? Has

1083
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 5: he ever met him? That's a follow up question, but

1084
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 5: I was afraid to tweet back it up.

1085
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 4: Well geez oh, yeah, ask this guy of question.

1086
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 5: This guy's all fired up. But anyway, thanks for responding again,

1087
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 5: Katie Lee, what'd you think? Are you shocked at all

1088
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,720
Speaker 5: that he that he knows who Max for started?

1089
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 6: No, because actually, try to bring up that fart. It's

1090
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 6: going to say Lewis Hamilton's often been to the NBA Final.

1091
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 6: I think Lewis Hamilton was kind of friends with Kobe

1092
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 6: as well, so I think there's a bit of an

1093
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 6: overlap there from the racing world to the NBA world.

1094
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 6: So it makes you know, it makes sense that at

1095
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 6: some point Kevin Durant has certainly met Lewis and maybe

1096
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 6: Vashtappen as well. I'm not sure. But it's interesting, isn't it,

1097
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 6: Because you know, we tend to think that basketballs have

1098
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 6: to be tall, but for a Formula one race drive,

1099
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 6: you need to be small. So it's like really the

1100
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 6: opposite sort of for Formula one drivers. Yeah, it's smaller

1101
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 6: by other bitter is you know when you get into

1102
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 6: that cockpit, so grit. Would it be great to say

1103
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 6: Kevin Durant in a Formula one.

1104
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1105
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 6: Or if he just puts the legs out over the salad, wow,

1106
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 6: you might.

1107
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: Have to, might have to.

1108
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 5: This is a great idea trying to get Katie unhappy

1109
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 5: or yeah, I'll tweet them back. I'll see what he says.

1110
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 4: We won't talk basketball one, we will talk.

1111
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 5: We don't talk basketball, unhappy, and we'll talk about everything else. Katie,

1112
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 5: if you want to come on, we'll talk about f

1113
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 5: one n FTS. I'm sure you've had some well I

1114
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 5: know you've had some experience with moving houses. Yeah, we

1115
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 5: get into all of that. So now come on happy

1116
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 5: our Katie open invite whenever you want to swing by,

1117
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 5: jump on for five or ten minutes. Okay, So that

1118
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 5: was a weird tweet of the night, but uh, I

1119
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 5: can't believe you responded. It was great. Pick the results

1120
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 5: from last night. It was the Nets Bucks game involving

1121
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 5: Kevin Durant. There I swerved, I took Milwaukee to win

1122
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 5: by two or more and it came through. I'm too

1123
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,720
Speaker 5: and oh for this month of May, pick the results

1124
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 5: brought to you by Bett MGM. Everybody else had the

1125
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 5: Nets thinking, uh no, that's difficult to win these little

1126
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 5: baseball series, to win both of them like the Bucks

1127
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 5: just did. So everybody had the Nets besides me. And

1128
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 5: that's an l lee your own two here in the

1129
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 5: month of May, one hundred dollars to charity on the line,

1130
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 5: which we're loving.

1131
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 4: It's not a bad month to lose, then, No, that's right,

1132
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 4: that's right.

1133
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: Though.

1134
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 5: If you don't win in a game the entire month,

1135
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 5: you have to give five hundred dollars, because that would

1136
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 5: be really impressive if you just can't pick one correct

1137
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 5: game over two weeks. But anyway, tonight's game is your

1138
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 5: New York Knickerbockers versus the Denver Nuggets. It's in Denver.

1139
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 5: Nuggets are favored by three and a half. Let's start

1140
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 5: with Tassie here on today' ShW Let's see who's picking.

1141
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 4: I'll take the Knicks.

1142
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 7: I've decided I'm trying to lose so I can give

1143
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 7: some money to charity.

1144
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: I think the Nuggets are gonna win, but I'm taking

1145
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: the Knicks.

1146
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 5: Oh boy, here we go.

1147
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 4: It's getting interesting. Yeah, he's getting cute with it. I

1148
00:49:58,840 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 4: love it.

1149
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 5: He is taking the Knicks, though he does think the

1150
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 5: Nuggets ultimately will cover a little. But Lee, where do

1151
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 5: you want to go?

1152
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 6: Well, if tass is taking the Knicks and this is

1153
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 6: the month you want to lose, I too take the Knicks.

1154
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 6: I'll get down in the gunner there with Tassie and

1155
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 6: I'll see if I can go. Oh and what is

1156
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 6: it like fifteen or something?

1157
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be that much because I mean, it's it's

1158
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 5: what it's this weekend. Next week isn't that that's all

1159
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 5: that is.

1160
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, left, I think so, well, I'm going to try

1161
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 6: for the perfect month then, because I actually was going

1162
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 6: to pick the Nuggets. I said, I think they bounced

1163
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 6: back in there at home, and Nick's have been good,

1164
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 6: but I think this is a bridge too far for them.

1165
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 6: But okay, I'll take the Knicks. Sure, see if I

1166
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 6: can go one and three and keep this perfect streak intact.

1167
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 5: All right, good luck to you, GK. You want to

1168
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 5: try and pick a winner.

1169
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm going with the Nuggets here. I think

1170
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 4: they're going to win the basketball game. I think they're

1171
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 4: going to cover the.

1172
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: Spread, and I would like to win this month actually,

1173
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: just as of competitive natures.

1174
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 5: I'm also going with the Denver Nuggets to cover this

1175
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 5: somewhat small spread here of three and a half. They

1176
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 5: just lost and the Knicks are playing phenomenal basketball. I

1177
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 5: think it could be a close one. It could be

1178
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 5: one where the Denver Nuggets win the game but don't cover.

1179
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 5: But I'm with TK. I'll go Denver to win by

1180
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 5: four or more. And we got Lee and Tassie taking

1181
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 5: the Knicks though they're doing it to sort of tank here.

1182
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 4: Very strange, but I love it.

1183
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 5: I love it all right, guys, we'll call it there.
