1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Reading sports headlines whilst pretending sports don't exist, suggests a

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: fascinating world of magic and whimsy. Darnis Suit says he

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: was this close to becoming of Raven. David Montgomery was

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: pursued by Viking Bears. Transfer portal created in good faith,

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: but it's out of control, as they so often are.

6
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: A Wolf enters the transfer portal terrible news. I hate

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: when that happens. Wizards and Raptors. Injury reports are terrible news.

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,040

Speaker 1: Wow?

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 3: This one's built upside down? No, not that way.

41
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, there you go. Okay, Sorry, I've been off for

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: microphones on the front.

43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: On Today Show.

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 5: Honestly, I've been dreading this thing. Sit in front of me, skates.

45
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: It's rattled me.

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: That's all right.

47
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: You didn't have a work on the beach or at

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: the pool, I guess huh you didn't have a mic

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: at the beach or on the pool?

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 5: No I did. Yeah, but it was a laugh.

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: On today's show, we're going to get you all set

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: for the NBA Playoffs and preview the four playing games

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: that are coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday night. We

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: got some NBA news in regards to Jaylen Brown and

55
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: Chauncey Bill, and I'm gonna recap how we all did

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 3: with our over under team win total bets way back

57
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: in the preseason. I added it all up and we'll

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: see who did the best. But before that, someone's taken

59
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: a shot of nut dust. Entering the final day of

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: the regular season, Tray's Utah Jazz tasses Washington Wizards were

61
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: tied for last place in the league at seventeen wins,

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: so a loss for both teams would have meant no

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 3: Dunk's history two men doing a shot at nut dust.

64
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: But instead for Tassie, bub Carrington banked in a game

65
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: winner as time expired to put the Wizards above the heat.

66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: Look at this shot, a crazy finish to give the

67
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: Wizards the win, to give task that much needed win,

68
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: and uh Utah couldn't match it in their later game,

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: So Trey, they couldn't, you, my man and your Utah

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Jazz finish in dead last with seventeen wins. Wizards get eighteen.

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: My pelicans pretty clear there with twenty one. So yeah,

72
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: it's time for a shot of nut dust. Ye'll leave

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: it there for a second. Oh my good, what do

74
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: we got in here? Well, okay, here's some things that

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: I know are in here. Spicy Cajun mix. That's the

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: orangest you'll see here.

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 5: A large chunk of it is peanut powder, which I'm

78
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 5: kind of scared of that one. Seems like it's gonna

79
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 5: be very chalky to me. And then Skeezy brought home

80
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 5: the dessert today some honey roasted sugar salt.

81
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: I guess was the honey roasted almond sugar. So yeah,

82
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: that's a concoction. So bottom's up, I guess.

83
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: I know.

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: I think I'm gonna have like a Nick Young Javail

85
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 5: McGee puff puff of powder.

86
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: So let's see. Yeah here we go.

87
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: Wow, nice down. Yeah, great that you took it all

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: in one goat.

89
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: There's odd just like last year with task a little

90
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: bit of crunch.

91
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: Well yeah, like on pernal porn. You're right, but I

92
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 5: am feeling quite thirsty.

93
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, sipping water allowed. I'm not even sure we didn't

94
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: really talk about actually drinking anything down because that's the problem.

95
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: You got powder in there.

96
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 5: You're saying, no drinks.

97
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should have a drinking.

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 6: Spicy spicy powder. Al right, Okay, good stuff. Way to

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 6: go to the Utah Jazz coming in.

100
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a little jealous. I didn't get the protein powder. Well,

101
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 2: I love a good pizza.

102
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: You were pissed off, and.

103
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: Man, that was that was a wild shot.

104
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: Oh god. Yes, they almost blew it too, because they

105
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: had a pretty comfortable lead down the stretch the Wizards did,

106
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: and the Heat were chipping chipping away. Big game from

107
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 3: Hockeys Jr.

108
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: But Trey is feeling the heat. I'm surprised, no Miami

109
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: Heat pun intended.

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, after we did that Tabasco Sauce Show

111
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 5: brought to you by Tabasco Sauce, I thought my throat

112
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 5: would be completely ready for it. Once the dust gets

113
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 5: in there starts kicking around, it's bad.

114
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: All right, Well let's see if you can power because

115
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: we got lots of talking.

116
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 5: No drinks, no sure.

117
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: The seeds for the twenty twenty five NBA Playoffs and

118
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: Playing Tournament are locked and loaded. After all thirty teams

119
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: competed Sunday afternoon, the final day of the regular season.

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: I had a blast flipping back and forth between the

121
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: NBA Action and the Masters there for a good chunk

122
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: of the afternoon. But overtime, here's the official bracket. That's right,

123
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: congrats to Rory. So we'll show you here on YouTube.

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 3: Here's the breakdowns that We've got a couple of these

125
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: matchups obviously ready to go, and what we're gonna do

126
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: with our playoff previews. We're gonna start rolling those out

127
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, so we'll probably tackle the East Tomorrow, Pacers, Bucks,

128
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: Nick's Pistons, you know, break them down in regards to

129
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: things to watch for factors, and obviously make our predictions.

130
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: On Wednesday, we'll get to the West Nuggets, Clippers, Lakers, Walls.

131
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: These are nice and spicy. But the big game from yesterday,

132
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: the marquee game, was that Warriors Clippers game. Clippers clinched

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: the number five seed in overtime, so the Warriors fall

134
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: all the way to the plan, which again we'll preview

135
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: a little bit later in the show. But let's talk

136
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: about this game a little bit because holy crap, the

137
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: superstars were coming through for both squads and it came

138
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: down to the wire.

139
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Superstars. Surprisingly, it was Jimmy Butler scoring like

140
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: he did. It was a month ago he was asked

141
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: about scoring for the Warriors down the stretch because he

142
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: didn't have to do a lot of it playing with Steph,

143
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: and he said, don't worry. When it's my time, you'll

144
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: know it's my time. I'm going to pass to the

145
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: open man now and I'll turn it on what I

146
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: want and then bang his first thirty point game as

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: a Golden State Warrior. The Warriors were winning the game

148
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: when Steph was on the bench. They went on that

149
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: run with Steph on the bench, surprisingly, sixteen to three

150
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: run in that first quarter. They lost by fifteen. With

151
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Kurry on the floor. In the first half, it was

152
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: still a close game because Jimmy was Jimmy. But then

153
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: you saw the weaknesses of the Warriors in the second half.

154
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: Theree rebounds, the size was a problem. Fourteen to six

155
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: second chance points for the Clippers, forty two to twenty

156
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: five overall in the rebounding department. That's a freaking big

157
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: gap seventeen boards. And obviously Zubats, who's a Warriors killer,

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: was monsters twenty two points, seventeen boards, eleven to sixteen shooting,

159
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: and the perimeter defense just couldn't stop the Kawhi and

160
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: the hardened combo. It's crazy when you think about this game.

161
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: The Clippers only got eight points off the bench and

162
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: they still win a game because of Kawhi and how

163
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: he looked phenomenal. He looked back to that old Kahi

164
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: and he made that great steal of thirty seconds left.

165
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: So he's looking great on both sides stealing it from

166
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 2: from Steph. But James Harden was the guy thirty nine points,

167
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: ten boards, seven rebounds or ten assists, seven rebounders should

168
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: say he scored all but one of the Clippers points

169
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: in overtime. That's pretty phenomenal that you could just rely

170
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: on that guy to go over and over and over

171
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: on one side. Well on the other side, Yeah, the Warriors

172
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: couldn't get it done on those couple of possessions, especially

173
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: with Draymond Green missing a layup with thirty seconds left

174
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: and then Buddy Healed missing the three point shot right

175
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 2: after that. So the question is should Jimmy have even

176
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: been on the floor after getting popped by Kawhi Leonard,

177
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he really was not himself. On the other end,

178
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: he was just stood there while Draymond Green was the

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: guy to go to on the offensive end. Here's your layup,

180
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: Jimmy's just standing in the corner, and then he inbounded

181
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: the ball for Buddy Heal. So do you guys think

182
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler should have been on the floor in that

183
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: instance or should he have been sitting for somebody else,

184
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: because obviously Steve Kerr was going for it in this game.

185
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: Jonathan kaminga you don't see him in it. I mean,

186
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: he was really just playing the guys because they're going

187
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: forward the win. But in that instance, I thought, maybe

188
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: you should switch it up because Jimmy is literally Olympic

189
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: on the floor.

190
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 3: He was banged up. Yeah, I mean, I don't know

191
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: if it had that much of an impact. I think

192
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: Draymond Green watching a bunny obviously had much more of

193
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: a difference on this game. And it was like, I mean,

194
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 3: a sort of credit. I think Gary Payton waited a

195
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: beat too long to pass that to him. I think

196
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 3: he wanted to pass it to Jimmy in the corner

197
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: at first. Then he found Draymond and I think Draymond

198
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: he had a little Kawhi in his head there who

199
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 3: was coming back to help, and he tried to rush it.

200
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: He also tried to do the Draymond thing where he's like,

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm almost trying to get the foul and yeah, I'm

202
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: not focusing on the layup, huge miss. But those other

203
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 3: steels like that one too where they got I think

204
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 3: it was Zubats and I forget who's with them in

205
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: the corner, got Kurry down the yeah down the stretch

206
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: as well. That was a big turnover. But yeah, I guess,

207
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. Leaving Jimmy out there for the final

208
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: thirty five seconds where he's hobbling around didn't have the

209
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: It didn't lose the game for the Warriors. For me, Well,

210
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: we'll see how he looks, I guess on Tuesday night though,

211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 3: or Wednesday night.

212
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 5: That's the worst thing that happened to the Warriors is

213
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: that they have to play again so soon after Jimmy

214
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 5: took basically a knee to the knee. So I'm with you.

215
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 5: I think they tried to keep him out there as

216
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: a decoy. Maybe he ends up making a big play

217
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: and then they get a week off, which would be huge. Obviously,

218
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 5: that didn't happen because James Harden is great. He's a

219
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 5: great player. He should be an All NBA player this season.

220
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 5: They got fifty wins this year. That's crazy. Tylu barely

221
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 5: getting any buzz for Coach of the Year, but he's

222
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 5: first team All Coach. They got to fifty wins basically

223
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 5: playing hardin Zubots, Derek Jones, Junior, a Mere Coffee, Chris Dunn,

224
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 5: and Nick Batoum. Those are the only guys that played

225
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 5: seventy plus games for the Clippers this year. Norm Powell

226
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 5: great season, he only played sixty, Kawhi Leonard thirty seven.

227
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: They kind of lucked out in that Kawhi got healthy

228
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 5: when Norm Powell went down, so they could kind of

229
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 5: sub in and out there. So I guess they had

230
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 5: maybe eighty games of those guys combined, which is huge.

231
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 5: But this is not a team that I thought was

232
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: gonna be great. Harden didn't have the most efficient season

233
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 5: he's had, but he was such an engine offensively as

234
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: a playmaker scoring as well. Zubots was big time defensively.

235
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 5: Now you look at the Clippers, they made it to

236
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 5: the playoffs healthy. That's impressive, and now they got to

237
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 5: make it through the playoffs healthy. You know, Kawhi Leonard

238
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: has oftentimes gotten to the playoffs and getting hurt right away.

239
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: This is most similar, I think to the twenty twenty

240
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 5: three year played a Ton gets to the playoffs awesome

241
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 5: in the first two games, torn meniscus, and then he.

242
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: Was out after that.

243
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 5: Last year as well, Sat the first playoff game, played

244
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 5: too out after that. So if he's there, they look

245
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 5: like a team that could make some noise because they

246
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 5: play playoff basketball all year round. They played defensively and

247
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: then they just mismatch Hunt on the other end. Kawhi isolations,

248
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: Harden isolations. That's what happens in games five, six, seven

249
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: in every playoff series. We get rid of the bad players.

250
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: We played defense and you hit touch shots. They've got

251
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 5: guys who can do both. Let's see if they're both

252
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 5: on the court. Let's see if they're both reliable in

253
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 5: the playoffs. That is the question. But good stuff, awesome

254
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: end to the regular season that this went into overtime

255
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 5: as the last game that was happening, as the only

256
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: game that was odd at the time, Steph Curry said,

257
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 5: I don't mean to over sell things. This is going

258
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: to be like a Game seven. And then he had

259
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 5: an awesome game. Butler had an awesome game. Kawhi and

260
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 5: Harden had awesome games. That's what it's all about.

261
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was playoff atmosphere. I thought the Clippers did

262
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: get the benefit of those fifty to fifty calls. A

263
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: couple down the stretch. This guy's still confident.

264
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: I got corn. He's killing me.

265
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: They got the one where a corn dust bowl, geez.

266
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: The one where Harden was definitely throwing the lob to

267
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: zubats and they called it like, oh, I guess it

268
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: was a shot. So he got the free throws on

269
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: that one. You know, one of those like fifty to

270
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: fifty ones. There was the Jimmy Butler goaltending call.

271
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: Now that one, I.

272
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: Think they did get rightyking it. It was coming down,

273
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 3: even though Bob Myers was trying to say, I don't know.

274
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

275
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 3: I don't know. Uh. And you know, there's a couple

276
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: other just bang bang calls where they saw they more

277
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: than more often than not went the Clippers way. But

278
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 3: what a game, and if it was a weird game

279
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: of the Warriors shot well, shot well from three, got

280
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: to the free throw line, more. You know, recorded thirty

281
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: one assists, so they were moving the ball around. They

282
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: had points off turnovers more than the clips, but they

283
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: still lose because they just got spanked on the glass.

284
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 3: That was that was huge. I mean Zubats was coming

285
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: up with big ones. Ben Simmons had a huge one

286
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: in this game, sort of down the stretch and they

287
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 3: were just hustling for loose balls and getting to those.

288
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: So fun game and huge, like could have a massive,

289
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: massive impact, of course on this postseason where the Clippers

290
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 3: are now in the four or five matchup against the

291
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: Nuggets and the Warriors gotta like fight their way in.

292
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: You feel confident that they can take care of the Grizzlies.

293
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: I know we'll get to it, but like to get

294
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. Could this work out for them? I

295
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 3: guess what I'm getting at. You know, if they beat

296
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies and then the seventh seed and they take

297
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: on obviously an inexperienced Rockets team.

298
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: I think they would have rather chilled here. You look

299
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: at the guys, they're completely bumped up. I mean they're injured.

300
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: I know they're gonna play. Jimmy's gonna play, Steph's gonna play.

301
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: Draymond also went to the locker room with a neck injury.

302
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: He came back, but yeah, to see Butler take that

303
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: shot to the thigh and Steph he had that thumb injury.

304
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the thumb injury doesn't mean a whole heck

305
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: of a live if you watch them pregame, he's in

306
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: half court shots. But he did start a little bit slowly.

307
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: And they needed Jimmy to be awesome, and they're gonna

308
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: need Jimmy to be awesome again. I mean when we

309
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: previewed this game, we'll talk about how they looked the

310
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: last time they played. Steph had fifty two or Jimmy

311
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: also had an awesome game scoring twenty seven. So they're

312
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: just going to need that stuff. But no, I think

313
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: they'd rather be chilling. But yeah, the Clippers guys, they

314
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: came through it. Even Chris Dunn three steals, Like they

315
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: just don't allow anything to happen for the Warriors. They

316
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: were just in every single passing lane. They did a

317
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: great job. Yeah, and the size was huge. I mean

318
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: eight turnovers for Steph Cree. You just don't see that

319
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: very often. It's the Clippers defense man.

320
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: Nobody else wanted to shoot for the Warriors either was

321
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: a big thing. Like when they have Draymond out there

322
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 5: with Jimmy Butler, they're not always looking for their shots

323
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 5: and there's not a lot of spacing for the Warriors.

324
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: And I think that's another part of the reason Kaminga

325
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: didn't play. The guy really throws off the chemistry on

326
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 5: the team. He doesn't move the ball either. I think

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 5: this works out better for the Warriors. I think they

328
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: have an easier path to the Western Conference Finals, assuming

329
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: they beat Memphis in the seven eight game. You don't

330
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 5: want to play Okay See in round one, but I

331
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 5: think they would feel pretty confident going up against the Rockets.

332
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: In Round one. They were three and two, that's a

333
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: weird number against Houston during the regular season, two and

334
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 5: one against Oka See, which I guess, you know, don't

335
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 5: feel confident at least because they played them pretty tough

336
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 5: this season and last He's in just one and three

337
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: against the Lakers. But they got to worry about Curry's thumb,

338
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: they got to worry about Jimmy's leg, And I mean,

339
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: like the Rockets have been playing a double big lineup

340
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 5: that's been pretty successful recently with Adams and scheng Gun.

341
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 5: That could be a problem for Golden State, but I

342
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: think this is an easier path for them to advance

343
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 5: in the Western Conference than they were going against the

344
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 5: Lakers in Round one.

345
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: Right. Just back to Chris dun for a second. He

346
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: brought up it's like how great he is defensively, and

347
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: he is. He should be on one of those all

348
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: defensive teams, and I think he will be. I liked

349
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: myself from him, like where they like, hey, can you

350
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: be Draymond Green for a couple of minutes here where

351
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 3: we're gonna run the double and get the ball out

352
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: of Kawhiir Harden's hands, like aggressively, and he's right there

353
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: at the nail. He made some nice place, turned around,

354
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: actually looked either for a shot or more times than not.

355
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I can just throw it to Zubots on

356
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: the back line there in the dunker spot. So I

357
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: think they're gonna see that at times where you're just

358
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: gonna force those other superstars in Harden and Kawhi just

359
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: get rid of the ball. He came through in that game.

360
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: He was really really good.

361
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, any other thoughts, It's wild that yeh fifth overall

362
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: pick has found his role in this league as a

363
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: real complimentary guy. I think it's gonna keep going for

364
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: his thirties. I mean, it just feels like he's been

365
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: around forever. But yeah, he is. Yeah, he compliments those

366
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: other guys. If they're playing, they're gonna look great.

367
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 3: This is gonna be Chris Dunn's like, really first postseason

368
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 3: was he on the Hawks? Maybe once. I don't think

369
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 3: he played all that much when they made the playoffs.

370
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 3: But he has had very little postseason success and been

371
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: on teams in there, So that's good for him. He's

372
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: on a good team.

373
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 5: Here and mostly played on bad teams instance the Bulls,

374
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 5: for instance, the Jazz. We'll see if you can shoot

375
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 5: in the playoffs. That's what it's gonna all come down to.

376
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: He's gonna be guarded by whoever the worst defender is.

377
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: He's gonna be left open. They're gonna encourage him to shoot.

378
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 5: He made three yesterday, that's awesome. Can he make three

379
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: in a playoff series? Maybe? Because if not, he's gonna

380
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 5: be on the bench.

381
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, again, we will preview Nuggets Clippers. We'll

382
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 3: do that later this week. We got all week to

383
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 3: get ready for those series that start on the weekend

384
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: and we'll get him to playing in a second. But

385
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: I wanted to get your opinion on McHale Bridges, the

386
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: NBA's iron Man. He logged just six seconds in Sunday's

387
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 3: regular season finale before purposely fouling a NETS player and

388
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: checking out for the remainder of the game versus the

389
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: tanking Nets there at Barclay Center. So here it is

390
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 3: on YouTube. He is gonna foul right away and then

391
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: he checked out. All right, see you later. So it

392
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: represented bridges five hundred and fifty sixth consecutive game played,

393
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: almost double the number of number two Harrison Barnes, who's

394
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: streak hit three or four on Sunday, playing all eighty two.

395
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 3: But man, Twitter, social media have a lot of opinions

396
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: on this. It fell fifty to fifty. People are like, what,

397
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 3: this should not count. He's done this before. I think

398
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: he's done it like twice before, where he's done the

399
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 3: whole Let's keep the streak alive. I'll suit up, I'll play,

400
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: I'll foul, and then I'll check out. So people are like, no, no,

401
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: that shouldn't count. This is this is a joke. This

402
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: is a loophole. And then the other people are like, relax,

403
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 3: you know he got in there, who cares? Where do

404
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: you fall in this debate of mckill bridges, you know,

405
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: with you know, getting tricky to keep the streak alive.

406
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 5: Okay, so I did go and look a C. Green

407
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 5: did the same thing once during his streak. He's got

408
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 5: a four second appearance in a game. It was in

409
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 5: like the second half. They literally just checked him in

410
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: to keep the streak going. Okay, that's all this is.

411
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 5: But this shouldn't count now that we have these rules

412
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 5: for like sixty five games for the awards thing, and

413
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 5: you gotta play twenty minutes in those games, and that

414
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 5: seems like the definition of a game that counts. Yeah,

415
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 5: just keep him out there, play a whole first stint.

416
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: If you play six minutes, it looks better than if

417
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 5: you play six seconds. Six seconds is pretty ridiculous. My

418
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: favorite part.

419
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: Did you notice in the clip I swear he like

420
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 3: goes and takes out his mouth guart so he had

421
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: his mouth guard in. Yeah, now he has said I

422
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 3: guess task like like I was good to go. I

423
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: was ready to go, but obviously Nicks weren't playing for anything,

424
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: and so you want to save him for the postseason.

425
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 3: You don't want anybody injured. So he's saying like, this

426
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 3: isn't my choice really, and I want to keep the

427
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: streak alive. But what's your been?

428
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have rather seen a couple of minutes.

429
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: I think it was way more interesting to see Jared Allen,

430
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 2: who wanted to play eighty two games in Cleveland. He

431
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: actually played forty seconds. I thought that was more interesting.

432
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: The first possession that he got, he chucked a three.

433
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: He had played one offensive possession to play was run

434
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: for him to shoot a three ball, which he doesn't shoot.

435
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: He shot a few this year, but he chucked that,

436
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: and then he played two plays after that, and then

437
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: he fouled and he's done. I thought that. I thought

438
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: there was a little more. There's a little story there

439
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: for us talking about it the next day, rather than

440
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: Guy Fowls, he sits Jared Allen, monster doesn't shoot threes.

441
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: He chucked one. I mean Miguel Michel shoots threes. So

442
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what the equivalent really is for him

443
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: to do, you know, like do something different, do something fun.

444
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: There ain't really any something.

445
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 3: Waited for the jump ball and then filed the guy

446
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: I neither literally five or six seconds.

447
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, what would happen if they won the jump ball charge?

448
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: Just shot at once? Maybe yeah, yeah, shot it once

449
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 3: and fouled.

450
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: I would assume, well, I would be very mad at

451
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: whoever their center was jumping center didn't even get a

452
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: shot attempt. Yeah, he's still seven and three quarter seasons

453
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: from breaking A C. Green's record six hundred and thirty

454
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 5: six games shy at this point, not even halfway there.

455
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 3: That is amazing, And I like, look, it's why.

456
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 5: Doing this twice and the day he got.

457
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 3: Traded, has done this three times?

458
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 5: I think he's done. Maybe so, I definitely know he

459
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 5: did it in twenty twenty three, which is when I looked.

460
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 5: And on the day he got traded in twenty twenty three,

461
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 5: the Brooklyn Nets had a game that he didn't play in.

462
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 5: But the NBA said that's okay. Yeah, they want this

463
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: streak broken, they want a C. Green out of the red.

464
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 5: Don't do anything to keep it going.

465
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: It's gonna take a while, though, like you said, a

466
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 3: very very long time until we're maybe talking about Bridges

467
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: passing a secret. Well, let's everybody's opinion again, Everyone like

468
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: has a has a take on this shouldn't count, this

469
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: is a joke or who cares? I mean he did play.

470
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: It's like again, I just keep thinking, like he gets all,

471
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: he's gotta put his jersey on, he gotta go through

472
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: the motions, and then's just all for five or six seconds,

473
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: take the mouth guard out and off to the locker room.

474
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: What do you guys think about?

475
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 4: Uh, these guys that were planned for it, just the

476
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: bit and then they come back out in the street clothes.

477
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 3: Yeah right, like go literally in shower and then come

478
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: back to the bench.

479
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: Because I feel like that's the worse offense than playing

480
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: six seconds.

481
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: To me, I don't know's I agree.

482
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: I agree because like mckel bridges, he goes any fouls,

483
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: he's like, okay, you gotta have like keys, a streak,

484
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 4: a lot whatever. I shout out to work, that's cool.

485
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 4: I get rewarded for it. But these guys are just like, yeah,

486
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: I'm here.

487
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

488
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 4: To me, like like you and the backers hat thing skeets.

489
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 4: Yeah this this to me, I'm like, ah, man, you

490
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: stay in your jersey.

491
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

492
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: It just kind of it upsets you more if someone

493
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: plays literally fifteen minutes and then because they know they're

494
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: not playing the second half, shower at halftime and coming

495
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: the team on the bench. Yes, I don't know why,

496
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 3: but I saw it. It didn' Kuzman did it yesterday.

497
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 5: It's definitely happened.

498
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like Jalen Green maybe did it. Yeah,

499
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: in the game.

500
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

501
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: To me, that's super weird.

502
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

503
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 4: It's just me being a sticker, I guess, but more

504
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 4: weird than playing six seconds.

505
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 3: I think it would be very funny if you did

506
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 3: do that, but then like your team got like in

507
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: crazy foul trouble and guys were fouling out or injuries happened,

508
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: and then you're like you gotta go back and change.

509
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 5: That suck sweaty jersey.

510
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, Yeah, Yeavin, Mickael Bridges didn't even need to shower.

511
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: I mean he didn't run, he warmed up, did he sweat?

512
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 5: I feel like you're playing six seconds? How hard are

513
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: you going in pregame war books?

514
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm dicking around so much doing it.

515
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 5: Let's see the tape.

516
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, like that's the thing he may have

517
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: gone through like his normal routine. These guys are creatures

518
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 3: have happened, right, they do go through everything the exact same,

519
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's watch the Bridge's warm up tape. Anyway.

520
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: This is also in addition to that Iron Man, I

521
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 3: guess your twenty Chris Paul started all eighty two games.

522
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: He made some NBA history in doing so. Previous mark

523
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: was held by Utah's John Stockton for the oldest guy

524
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: to play all laighty two games. He did that in

525
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: his nineteenth season. John Stockton did. But like I said,

526
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 3: you're twenty here for Chris Paul and Craig Man Ron

527
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 3: Spurs had they have three guys that did it, Harrison

528
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: Barnes and maybe a Champagne also played in All Lady two,

529
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: which hasn't been done in a very long time for

530
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: a team to have three guys run the gauntlet. So

531
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 3: kudos to Chris Paul. That's pretty amazing.

532
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 5: That is honest, that's pretty amazing. I turned on a

533
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 5: Spurs game like two weeks ago and I was like,

534
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 5: what I've literally had forgotten about Chris Paul. You know,

535
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 5: once Wenby went down, the Spurs weren't necessarily at the

536
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 5: top of my watch list. So see Chris Paul out there.

537
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: Actually doing stuff. I think it makes sense that he

538
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 5: would be going against John Stockton. He's kind of our

539
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: generations John Stockton.

540
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, makes sense. The Thunder they finished sixty eight

541
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 3: and fourteen. Just wanted to slip this in here. They

542
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: finished the season outscoring teams by twelve point nine points

543
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: per game, smashing the previous mark that it stood for

544
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: more than half a century. The Lakers outscored teams by

545
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: twelve point three points per game in seventy one seventy two.

546
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: That was the record until now. So that's how dominant

547
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: the Thunders regular season was. They outscored opponents by over

548
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 3: one thousand points, one thousand and fifty five points. Sixty

549
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 3: eight and fourteen, one of the best records of all time.

550
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: I think it's maybe seventh or something. So now it

551
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 3: means nothing, you honestly, it's an incredible regular season. Now

552
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 3: means nothing, and if anything, sort of the pressure is

553
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 3: on now to be like all those teams that have

554
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: those crazy, you know, records where they outscore teams, they

555
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: generally go on to win the championship. So now can

556
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 3: okase he do it? Yesterday, Celtics coach Joe Mizzula confirmed

557
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: an ESPN report that Jalen Brown received pain management injections

558
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: during the week to help his troublesome right knee. So

559
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: his minutes had been decreasing over the last month or

560
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: so while he tried to work through this knee injury.

561
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: But obviously, like I said, Maz confirming, yeah, we're trying

562
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 3: to take care of this. He did say he should

563
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: be good to go. Are you concerned it all tasks

564
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: for the Celtics chances to repeat with this Jallen Brown injury.

565
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think Jalen Brown is tough

566
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: as nails. As his teammates have said, I mean, he's

567
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: gonna play through it. Chris Asworzana said, he's good, He's

568
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: gonna play through it. He even said quote, I learned

569
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: that I have a lot of skill during this because

570
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: my skill level is very high, and as you've seen

571
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: tonight in a previous game, he said after a game,

572
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 2: he said, no dunks, no transition points. I can still

573
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: affect the score again in multiple ways, so no dunks. Yeah.

574
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: So it's it's like he learned the game in a

575
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: different way. It's it's like you're sitting on the bench

576
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: and understanding the game in a different way. So I

577
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: don't think it's a problem. I think he knew this

578
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: whole time what he was gonna do, and that's it. Frankly,

579
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: I'm not too concerned.

580
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 5: It's only a problem if it becomes a problem. You know,

581
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 5: if they because they're gonna need Jalen Brown to win

582
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 5: the championship, then they're gonna need him at his best

583
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 5: because he's their go to wing stopper against the bigger guys.

584
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: So you're thinking his size, his strength, his quickness are

585
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 5: vital against Shake Gill, just Alexander should they meet the

586
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 5: Thunder in the Championship series, the Championship easy baseball.

587
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: Guy Okay, Patrick Dumont.

588
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 5: In the championship games, Luka Donchez at the Lakers somehow

589
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: make it to the finals as well, even against Cleveland's guards,

590
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 5: I think he the jumbo size that Jalen Brown brings

591
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 5: with the quickness he has is huge against them. Those

592
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 5: games are months from now. We're all thinking that the

593
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 5: Celtics are gonna have a little bit tougher time in

594
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference playoffs. If he's getting injections before we

595
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 5: started the hardest part of the season, I think that's

596
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 5: a little bit concerning if it degenerates and becomes a problem.

597
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 5: Once they get to the conference finals and the finals,

598
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 5: they're gonna need Jalen Brown at one hundred percent strength

599
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 5: because he's gonna have a huge lift on the defensive end.

600
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: One of my other takeaways from this was, I believe

601
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown doesn't think he's gonna make the All NBA

602
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 3: third team, let's say, because he could have played through

603
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 3: the pain here and got out there and got his

604
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: minutes in like he was mckail Bridges or something like that,

605
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 3: and played in two more games to hit the sixty

606
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: five game threshold because he falls short at sixty three.

607
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: But he has had a little bit of a down here,

608
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: especially shooting the three ball. Still good twenty two, six,

609
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: four and a half. Like he's a very very good

610
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 3: player and they're gonna need a lot from them in

611
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: the playoffs, like you guys said, but even I think

612
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: he was like, I'm probably not making All NBA this year.

613
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: Don't need to play those games. And then I read

614
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 3: this from Boston dot Com. Speaks to what you were saying,

615
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 3: Tass about him watching and maybe adapting his game a

616
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 3: little bit. Quote Brown's discomfort has been visible lately, and

617
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: he said he has been studying game tape of Paul

618
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: Pierce as he adapts to a somewhat less explosive style

619
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: of play. So I was like, oh, okay, So he's like,

620
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm turning into Paul Pierce here, maybe because I've lost,

621
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: you know, that explosiveness a little bit because of the knee.

622
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna watch them Paul Pierce game tape. So

623
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: I mean, don't I agree?

624
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

625
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, So something to watch here when we get into

626
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 3: the postseason. Is he turning into Paul Pierce.

627
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? And you can flip it into a positive and

628
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: say he didn't play in sixty five games because he

629
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: wanted to get ready for the playoffs and sit out games.

630
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: And he said, quote, you know, before this whole thing happened,

631
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: he said, I bank on being by the playoffs. We

632
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: got some stuff lined up. I bank on being even

633
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: better than I feel now. The things lined up were

634
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: some injections. I mean, he was ready to get injected

635
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: and yeah, no doctors here. No Dunk's also no doctors.

636
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: Unsure how he's going to look. But if Jaln Brown

637
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: looks anything like he looks like, I mean, he's going

638
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: to be a great player, and now he can play

639
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 2: like Paul Pierce. I guess I mean groundbound, which isn't fantastic,

640
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think he'll be totally fine.

641
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: Some coaching news yesterday, the Portland Trailblazers have signed coach

642
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: Chauncey Billups to a multi year contract extension. Portland finished

643
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: thirty six and forty six, the same record as the

644
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns. Just to put that in perspective, but Billips

645
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: led the Blazers to a twenty three and eighteen record

646
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: since like mid January, and they ranked like top five

647
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: in the NBA and defense as a young team tray,

648
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 3: So they are rewarding Chouncey Billups, who was a guy

649
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: no doubt that was like on the hot seat heading

650
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: into the season. Maybe at the start of the season

651
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: we wondered if he was even going to last the season,

652
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: and he turned it around the second half and had

653
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: them playing well, and he's gonna have an extension here.

654
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you, Skates. I think coming into the

655
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 5: year basically a lame duck coach wouldn't have been some

656
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 5: if things went the way the first half of the season. Went.

657
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 5: Chauncey Phillips probably isn't getting this extension, but for the

658
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: first time since he's been the coach there, they have

659
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 5: a little bit of an identity being one of the

660
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 5: best defensive teams in the league for half of the season.

661
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 5: They've got a little bit of an upward mobility going here.

662
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 5: Zero expectations. I think it helps that Scoot Henderson had

663
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 5: a turnaround season. I think it definitely helps that most

664
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 5: of the improvements in the second half were with young

665
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 5: guys like DeAndre Ayton wasn't leading the charge. Jeremy Grant

666
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 5: just doesn't play. He hasn't played a game after March

667
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: twelfth since he came to Portland. Amazing, that's crazy. I

668
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 5: just have you seen Jeremy Grant play a minute for

669
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: the Blazers. No, you haven't. Nobody watches this team and

670
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 5: nobody watches Jeremy Grant. But they've played defense. Denny Avia

671
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 5: had a great year, Tamani Kamara is gonna get votes

672
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 5: on the All Defense team. So I think it's at

673
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 5: least encouraging. Next year there will be more expectations. They're

674
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 5: still going to be in the Western Conference. I think

675
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 5: very very far West West is still going to be

676
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: good next year. They have to make the play ins.

677
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 5: My prediction would be that Chauncey Billups doesn't finish this

678
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 5: contract that he's signing with the Blazers, but at least

679
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 5: he got it. I didn't think he would heading into

680
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 5: the season.

681
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: So you think they're just not gonna be good enough

682
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: and he'll get canned at some point.

683
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, expectations start to rise. He hasn't had a five

684
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 5: hundred season yet.

685
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

686
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, he's turned some of these players into good players.

687
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: That's why he gets this extension, and he deserves it obviously.

688
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 2: That they have an identity and yeah, guys like Donovan

689
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 2: Klingon look awesome in his rookie season, and you mentioned

690
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: the shad and sharp growth the Kamara. They look like

691
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: a great team.

692
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 3: Joe Cronin also will be sticking with the Blazers in

693
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: the front office role as their GM. Those guys are tight,

694
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 3: so he's also going to stick around. I think with Billups,

695
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: the best traits a young coach can have is have

696
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: your team play some defense, which again, like I said,

697
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: they did turn on in the second half of the year,

698
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: and just play hard for forty eight minutes like, that's

699
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 3: the that's the baseline when you have a very young team.

700
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: I think they're the third youngest team in the league,

701
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: despite you know, some of these I guess vets on

702
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 3: their squad that are not really playing all that much

703
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: in Jeremy Grant's case. But that's good and that's why

704
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 3: I got it. And I do hear you though, Tray,

705
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: because now expectations start to get set. This was a

706
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: great year, great second half. So if you're sort of

707
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: looking at the Rockets trajectory, well that was sort of

708
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: they were very bad for a while. Then they were

709
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: flirting with the play in sort of what the Blazers

710
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: were sort of doing here this year, maybe with a

711
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: little too far behind. And then it's what it's obviously

712
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: get into the play in at the very least, if

713
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: not the playoffs. So there will be expectations next year.

714
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 3: But got some talent on that team, and they definitely

715
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: he helped coach him up, so he's got the contract extension.

716
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 5: The fourth and the eighth seed in the Western Conference

717
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: fired their coaches. Yeah yeah, And now I mean thirty

718
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: six and forty six, that's good for the Blazers. That's

719
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 5: not good. Thirty six and forty six next year doesn't

720
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: look the same.

721
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: Right, wouldn't hit the same, But maybe you can turn

722
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: them into a forty six and thirty six. That'd be

723
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 3: very tough in the West. But maybe just start with

724
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 3: making the play in or at least sniffing it. Speaking

725
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 3: of the play in you want to preview them, let's

726
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: do it. Play in tournament features the team seed at

727
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: seven through ten in each conference. They're battling for those

728
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 3: last two playoff spots. Teams have finished seventh and eighth

729
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: in the standings, they face off first for that number

730
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: seven seed, and here is the schedule. Teams have finished

731
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: ninth and tenth, They go ahead to head the next night.

732
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 3: Winner of that game then faces the loser of the

733
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 3: seven eight game on Friday, and that winner will get

734
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: the number eight seed. This has been around since twenty

735
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 3: twenty one. The play in tournament. You can bet your

736
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: ass nas Valencunis is back in it. He never misses

737
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: a play in tournament. So let's go through them. Let's

738
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: get some predictions things to watch for. We'll start in

739
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: chronological order here. Tuesday night, first game seven thirty on

740
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: TNT Number eight Hawks versus the number seven Magic task,

741
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: so the winner earns the seventh seed. How do you

742
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: see this one playing out?

743
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: Let's start with the biggest game Magic Hawks. Baby.

744
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 5: They played yesterday. Yeah, totally different game on Tuesday.

745
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: They played seven days ago. I mean they played last Tuesday,

746
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: so six days ago, but seven days before their next game.

747
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: And Bunko is awesome. In that game, the Hawks kind

748
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: of lack a big to really guard him, and Kong

749
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: who had to guard him. Uh, Bonko looked great. Uh

750
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: and he got in guys into foul trouble. Resurche mogay,

751
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 2: they're in foul trouble. Every everybody sitting down being said.

752
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna rely on pile of banco again because their

753
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 2: offense overall it stinks. So they just have to rely

754
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: on those guys. And will Tray Young have a moment.

755
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 2: He's had big moments in the postseason. This is their postseason,

756
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: I mean, this is this is it for them. Can

757
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: Trey Young be awesome in Orlando where they have a

758
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: one a game this year?

759
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 5: Does that mean something?

760
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: Does mean something? They've won a game on the road,

761
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 2: But really it's gonna be those bigs, very young Biggs.

762
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: When I mentioned Mo Gay and Kangu being able to

763
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: guard punk ban Cao. That's that's the biggest thing. I

764
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: know it's not really an X factor, but it really

765
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 2: is the way the Orlando Magic function on offense. It's

766
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 2: up to that guy to Adam monstros game. Yeah.

767
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, both teams have a starter that when I'm going

768
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 5: through the lineups, I put, really Corey Joseph is really

769
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 5: starting for the Magic. Mogay is really starting for the

770
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 5: Hawks in a do or die game basically, So I

771
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 5: don't know. It basically comes down to who plays better

772
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: between Trey Young and then Franz and Polo, because I

773
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 5: think there's not great matchups either way. Trey Young has

774
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 5: kind of struggled against the Magic because they throw a

775
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 5: ton of size at him. Franz Wagner's the main defender

776
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 5: on him, and he just kind of envelops Trey gets

777
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 5: the ball out of his hands. So it's gonna be

778
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 5: on the other guys to make shots as well. So

779
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 5: that includes Resa sche A Congu has to have a

780
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 5: big game. Mogay's got to do something out there. The

781
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 5: Hawks definitely have better depth than the Magic do. Between

782
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 5: Lavert Niang and Terrence Mann thirty seven points per game.

783
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 5: Does that matter all that much in a one game scenario.

784
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 5: I don't know. You can just play your starters forty

785
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 5: five minutes here the magic, which is what they should

786
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 5: probably do because then you get the rest. But it's

787
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 5: a bit of a styles makes fight kind of game.

788
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 5: Post All Star Atlanta sixth then offense twenty first in defense,

789
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 5: post All Star Orlando twenty first in offense, third in defense.

790
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 5: You know they Orlando's gonna play defensively pretty well? Do

791
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 5: they get any sort of offense efficiently from Polo? From Franz?

792
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 5: What's the turnovers look like? I think there's gonna be

793
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 5: a huge question there. And can Trey have an awesome game?

794
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 5: Is what it comes down to for the Hawks.

795
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the magic can they I guess the magic

796
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: number is what hit ten or eleven more threes, because

797
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: if they do that, they're they're pretty solid. When they're

798
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: under ten, they're ghastly like. They have a five and

799
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: twenty nine record when they can't hit ten or more threes.

800
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: Though oddly one of those victories came against the Hawks,

801
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 3: so I don't know what that says. But they are

802
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: the NBA's worst three point shooting team in the league

803
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 3: obviously in the play in or playoffs, whatever you want

804
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: to call this, But they were like they're basically unbeatable

805
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 3: when they hit like fifteen threes, which is like almost average.

806
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: It feels like for any other team, they're like twelve

807
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: and two in those marks. So can anybody knock them down?

808
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: You would think the Hawks will allow them, see if

809
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 3: those shooters can let them rip. But I'm leaning towards

810
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 3: the magic in this one. You know, home court advantage, obviously,

811
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 3: the Palo factor. I'm with you, task I just don't

812
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 3: see anybody that can stop him. He needs to have

813
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 3: a good game because he'll every once in a while

814
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 3: he'll have like your five for eighteen five or nineteen

815
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 3: type game and just where it's not falling for him

816
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 3: and he can get frustrated. But I'm leaning magic. You

817
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 3: go in ATL or RL.

818
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: I lean magic for sure, but I want to trade

819
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: game just for fun. But yes, I think home advantage

820
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 2: is something okay, where you going to matchups is something

821
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 2: all right?

822
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 5: Elsewhere I'll take the Hawks.

823
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, one game, right and then you have experience. This

824
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 3: is years in a row. Is this for the Hawks?

825
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 5: Fourth? So at least the third maybe fourth fourth.

826
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 3: I think it's a fourth straight play in appearance, so

827
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 3: they know what comes with this type of game. Orlando's

828
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 3: gonna be a little shook. I'm not gonna get it.

829
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: What do you mean we're only playing once?

830
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 2: What?

831
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 5: Polo had an awesome Game seven last year thirty eight points,

832
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 5: sixteen rebounds against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He showed up do.

833
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 3: It again, but he had some stinkers also in that series.

834
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean he I think he

835
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 5: shot ten for twenty eight in that game. Thirty bad

836
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 5: like Paula will put up a huge number in the

837
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 5: point department and a lot of shots as well.

838
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's hear from everybody out there, and uh

839
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: esh or Minnie Mouse, you know, don't don't be afraid

840
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 3: to chime in here. Who who you got? Team? Your team? Hawks?

841
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? You go the Hawks Wow?

842
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 5: Even though Disney sponsors the Magic Wow.

843
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 3: The second game on Tuesday night, this one looks a

844
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: little bit better. Number eight Grizzlies versus the number seven Warriors.

845
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: Winner goes through as the seventh seed and we'll take

846
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: on the Rockets. Warriors have never won a playing gameh

847
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: and three in their previous two appearances. Steph Curry has

848
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 3: never won a playing game. How weird is that? But Trey,

849
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 3: you get to start to here, what are you watching

850
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 3: for and how do you see this one going?

851
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 5: I'm watching a lot of things in this game because

852
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 5: I think it's kind of confusing on both sides. Who

853
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 5: guards Drama Rant for the war? Are they gonna start

854
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 5: with their small lineup that they've been going with, Pajeenski, Curry, Jimmy,

855
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 5: Moses Moody and Draymond Green. That's what they've been winning

856
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 5: with since the Jimmy trade basically, But that doesn't leave

857
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 5: you a great option for guarding John Moran. I guess

858
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: it'll be a little bit of Pajemski, It'll be a

859
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 5: little bit of Moody as well. Jimmy probably slots in,

860
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 5: but Jimmy also guards Jared Jackson Junior quite a bit.

861
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,439
Speaker 5: I think Zach Edy can be an X factor here.

862
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 5: Certainly the Grizzlies are going to have a size advantage

863
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 5: between Edie and Jared Jackson Junior. So does Kevon Looney

864
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 5: get a spot start? Does he start the second half

865
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 5: for this team if they're getting destroyed on the glass?

866
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 5: I think there are questions to be had there. But

867
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 5: then when you look at who could potentially be the

868
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 5: X factor for the Grizzlies, that kind of comes down

869
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 5: to Scottie Pippen Junior and Zach Edy. I think I'll

870
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 5: take my chances with the Warriors. On the other side,

871
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 5: I think you can also throw out a lot of

872
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 5: the season long stats for the Grizzlies because they've been

873
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: so bad during the last third of the season. Here,

874
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 5: losing Jalen Wells hurts massively for them. Their best game

875
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 5: against the Warrior, he held Curry without a field goal,

876
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 5: putting his head on his chest. Yep, he's out. So

877
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,479
Speaker 5: now they don't really have a great option for guarding

878
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 5: Steph Curry, and that's the biggest issue for this team,

879
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 5: alongside Jaron Jackson Junior getting in foul trouble. Jimmy Butler's

880
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 5: gonna pump fake this guy into oblivion. So stay down, buddy,

881
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 5: if you want to have a chance.

882
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: So you're leaning Warriors.

883
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 5: I'm leaning heavily Warriors. I think they're gonna win this easily.

884
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta go with the Warriors here. There's no doubt.

885
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: They played two weeks ago against Memphis Grizzlies. That was

886
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: the night that Steph had fifty two and they needed

887
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: every single point and went down to the wire. Jimmy

888
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 2: Butler was also massive in that game because he had

889
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: twenty seven on twelve free throws. So yeah, he will

890
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: be pump Fagan and Dre will be in his ears

891
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 2: saying pump fake that. Jared Jackson Jr. And they were

892
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: able to get Jared Jackson Junior fouled out in this game.

893
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 2: Can they do it again? I think there's a good

894
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 2: possibility now. The injuries on the Warriors side are real.

895
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Steph's thom is fine, but Jimmy hobbling around

896
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: is something. And will he be able to feel good

897
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: going into this game. He didn't feel good at the

898
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: end of that game against the Clippers. I mean he

899
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: was literally just standing there. But that being said, I

900
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 2: mean they have enough to beat the Grizzlies, especially no

901
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: Jayalen Wells being able to face guard Steph Curry. I mean,

902
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: who is otherworldly to score fifty two points, That's just

903
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: freaking hard to do. On the other side, like Zachi

904
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: Edie had sixteen boards in that game, they can outsize

905
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors I don't think they're going to

906
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 2: turn to Kevon Looney or q Post Quentin posts that

907
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: all that much. But I don't think they have enough offense.

908
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: Like Morent has gonna have to be incredible, and he's

909
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: pretty good against the Warriors. He had five threes. Two

910
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: weeks ago against the Golden State Warriors, he scored thirty

911
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 2: six points. But you're just gonna have to get some

912
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: special offensive performances, and you got to get Jared Jackson.

913
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: You're just being smart and not fouling out, So you're

914
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: just asking a lot against the team that's playing for

915
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: their freakin' I don't think they want to get into

916
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: a second playing game. The Golden State Wars want to

917
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: win this thing here and finish it and get into

918
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

919
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and give themselves a chance even to win against

920
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 3: the maybe A Houston Rockets. To gam I think even

921
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 3: if you're the eighth seed, not only do you have

922
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 3: to play that game to get the eight even then

923
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: you're playing in the thunder and it's like, okay, good

924
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 3: luck with that. Butler does say don't worry about the

925
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 3: quad injury. He said, I'll be all right, go home,

926
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 3: play some dominoes. Drink some coffee and hope it feels better.

927
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: So did you just get like almost like a weird

928
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 3: Charlie horse, I mean, Quie bang the hell out of

929
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 3: that quad? Or you know, it looked like it was

930
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 3: his knee at first, but I guess that's better that

931
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 3: it was above the knee.

932
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: That's above the knee. But even in the hallways afterwards,

933
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 2: he was that being said, you know, some coffee and

934
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 2: some dominoes. All good?

935
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 3: Yes, everything, Okay, So you're you're going Warriors. I'm with you, guys,

936
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 3: ash where you're going. Grizzlies didn't do this again. They

937
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 3: beat the Warriors before in a playing game. Do it again?

938
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I hear what you're saying about the Warriors

939
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 4: never went into the play in But I do have

940
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 4: faith in the Warriors here. I think they got it,

941
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 4: especially with all turmaro around the Grizzlies. Yeah, over the

942
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 4: past couple of weeks, past month or whatever.

943
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: So we have Warriors and they just can't. They just

944
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: had a really high stakes like sort of playoff like

945
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: game against the Clippers. Obviously you can sort of just

946
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: keep riding that wave. I'm with you, guys, I'm going

947
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 3: Warriors in this Okay, Wednesday, seven thirty Eastern the number

948
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: ten Miami Heat versus Trey Kirby's number nine Chicago Bulls.

949
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: Loser is eliminated. Winner gets one more crack at trying

950
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: to win the eighth seed. Where you're going, Well, TK,

951
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 3: I know where you're going. But why you going Chicago

952
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 3: Bulls at home over the Heat.

953
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 5: Well, my heart wants the Hawks to lose the first

954
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 5: playoff playing game and then the Bulls to win so

955
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 5: I can see a show down here and that. Okay,

956
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 5: my heart knows the best or my head knows the

957
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 5: best thing for this is the Heat to win in

958
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 5: the Bulls to get into the lottery. I was tankethon

959
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 5: mad this morning. I had to sim twenty four times

960
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 5: before I got the Bulls jumping up. But they did

961
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 5: jump up to number one on that twenty fourth. Okay,

962
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 5: I think they got a six percent chance of being

963
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 5: in the top four. But the thing with the Bulls

964
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: is they're not gonna have the element of surprise. I

965
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 5: think part of the reason they had success during the

966
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 5: last twenty games of the season is that they were

967
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 5: a curveball team. They played the fastest pace in the league.

968
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 5: All They're doing is chucking threes. It's different when you

969
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 5: have one game and you're preparing for one team. They're

970
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 5: not gonna be able to surprise the heat like that.

971
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 5: But three to zero against Miami, the Bulls are a

972
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 5: better three point shooting team than Miami has been. Their

973
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 5: third in the league for the entire season versus eleventh

974
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 5: for Miami and after the All Star break for whatever reason,

975
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 5: the Bulls are good at defense tenth in defense, surprisingly

976
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 5: good in the clutch. I think they finished fourth in

977
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: clutch defense after the All Star Break. Miami, we know,

978
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 5: is a terrible clutch offensive team, thirtieth in clutch offense

979
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 5: after the All Star Game. I think there's gonna be

980
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: a ton of cross matching in this one because the

981
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 5: defensive matchups just don't make sense literally for either team.

982
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 5: Who you want guarding who. So I think there's gonna

983
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 5: be a ton of switching, which is advantage Bulls because

984
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 5: they play fast and you can get the other team scrambled.

985
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 5: They just have to be able to play fast. It's

986
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 5: gonna come down to who makes more threes, and the

987
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 5: Bulls are generally better. So we shall see.

988
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: Can Josh Gitty stay hot? Can Josh Kitty shoot when

989
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: it comes to shoot off, hasn't That might be, you know,

990
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 3: a big reason why the thunder maybe moved off him,

991
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 3: like he sort of got like played off the floor

992
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 3: at time, like everybody was leave him, like he's not

993
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 3: a threat to shoot, he doesn't want to shoot. So far,

994
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 3: so good right now with the bulls at least for

995
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: the last little stretch. What do you think you're the test?

996
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see Josh Giddy in a big

997
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: game scenario. I mean, this is it's fun to see

998
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,919
Speaker 2: a guy you will everybody will call the march Man

999
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: like somebody who's played extremely well.

1000
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: Mickey Mouse March.

1001
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 2: What do you think, Mickey Mouse March. Do you think

1002
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 2: Josh Gitty's gonna play great? I'm his stats after the

1003
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: All Star Game are ridiculous. Since then it's nineteen games,

1004
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: it's not just a handful. He's averaged twenty one points

1005
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: on fifty from the floor forty six from three, rounding

1006
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: up almost eleven boards and nine assists of season. Yeah, yeah,

1007
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: he has been fantastic. He's also grown a little bit

1008
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 2: into his pull up shots because he's never been good

1009
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 2: at that, and he's not incredible at that. But everybody

1010
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 2: will drop below any sort of pick. Everybody will drop

1011
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 2: if you're defending against Josh Katy. But he's been better

1012
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: this entire season. He's doing a little bit more. So

1013
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 2: I just want to see him in a big game performance.

1014
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 2: They should have a huge home advantage situation. It's a

1015
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: tough place to play. I'm looking forward to the Miami.

1016
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 2: They balls are better on the road than Yeah, I

1017
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: know we'll come playoffs. The UC will be alive. It's

1018
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: going to be happening there.

1019
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 3: It's a strange one, like I do think the Bulls

1020
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 3: are gonna win, but it's like I do. The Heat

1021
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 3: obviously have played in a ton of playing games as well,

1022
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 3: but you know, Jimmy Butler was sort of in the

1023
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,879
Speaker 3: mix then and they've their season has been like it

1024
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 3: was obviously just railroaded by Jimmy Butler. It's like completely

1025
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 3: wasted on a weird way. They haven't been good. They

1026
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 3: weren't good before or Jimmy Butler tray, they weren't good after.

1027
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 3: But then I'm like they have like maybe the two

1028
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 3: best players in this game, like when they're at their

1029
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: peak in Bam and Tyler Hero And that's not to discredit,

1030
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 3: like obviously some of the great Bulls players and Kobe

1031
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 3: White and Giddy the way he's played, but they are

1032
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 3: They just are. So it's like, why wouldn't they one game?

1033
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: Those guys should come through and at least give him

1034
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 3: another chance. So I think this is gonna be the

1035
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 3: closest game. I'm gonna make my breath. This is gonna

1036
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: be the tightest game we actually get of the four

1037
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 3: playing games here on Wednesday night. But I'm gonna say

1038
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 3: the Bulls just squeak it out because I'm feeling chalky

1039
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 3: about a lot of them chucking.

1040
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 5: For the thunder in a playing game time. Wow, look

1041
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 5: at that. Yeah, I had a huge game. Then he

1042
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 5: followed up with six points in the next playing game

1043
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 5: that they lost.

1044
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 3: Okay, well will you live with that? You get at

1045
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 3: least to see them here in Atlanta potentially, Yeah, that

1046
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 3: would be perfect. That would be the ideal scenario. And

1047
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 3: they're still in the lottery. Oh right, yeah, yeah, it'd

1048
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,720
Speaker 3: be check check. Okay, So everybody leaning Bulls and and Minnie,

1049
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 3: you're going Bulls. You're going heat with the They're like

1050
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: top end talent.

1051
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to Miami.

1052
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, Okay, I don't mind that.

1053
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,760
Speaker 2: You know, this is the opportunity for the first tenth

1054
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: seed to make the playoffs. So the Miami here are

1055
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 2: playing here again in the Eastern Conference, where you can

1056
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: win two games. This is the best opportunity because it

1057
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: hasn't happened, and the Miami Heat, you know, you can

1058
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 2: play for that. Sposter can say, the guys, let's see

1059
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 2: that first seed. Yes, Jimmy Butler was there when they

1060
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: had a miraculous run and they were an eight seed

1061
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: and made the finals. But you know they just got

1062
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: to win two here.

1063
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 3: Final final playing game is Wednesday night, ten o'clock number

1064
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 3: ten MAVs versus the number nine Kings test. Why don't

1065
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: you going to start it here? Loser obviously eliminated.

1066
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: Well, I want to see Dematas Sibonis against Anthony Davis.

1067
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: Supposed to gotta be good against this uh Mavericks team.

1068
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: Demons has always always dominated Anthony Davis until this year.

1069
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 2: I mean he had won ten straight against Anthony Davis

1070
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 2: and then it didn't come through. Really, he's got to

1071
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 2: be Zach Levine has got to get hot. The Kings

1072
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 2: sort of they kind of rely on his ability to

1073
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: get hot and sometimes it does not happen, and so

1074
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 2: we'll see about that in that scenario, and we'll see

1075
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: CLAYT Thompson. I'm interested to see KLAYT. Thompson played against

1076
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings last year when he was with the Golden

1077
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 2: State Warriors in the play in and he was over

1078
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 2: over in that play in game where the Warriors got

1079
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 2: crushed by the Sacramento Kings. So he's got something to

1080
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 2: play for as well. But he's gonna have to be big.

1081
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 2: Those are my matchups I'm watching.

1082
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 5: It's interesting because the MAVs have the best player in

1083
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 5: the series in Anthony Davis. He's looked all right since

1084
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 5: coming back from injury, had some big games, had some

1085
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 5: okay games. The Kings, meanwhile, have the most play and

1086
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 5: experience I think ever, and it will probably no one

1087
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 5: will ever approach the play in accolades that this team has.

1088
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 5: All their guys played in the play in. Last year.

1089
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 5: They added de Rozan who played in the play and

1090
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 5: with the balls all the time. Levine also played in

1091
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 5: the play with the ball all the time, mister play

1092
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 5: and Yonis play in. Tunis himself hasn't missed one yet.

1093
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 5: This team is built to be in the play in

1094
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 5: and I think there's more question marks for the Mavericks

1095
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 5: with regards to their starting lineup, because this doesn't make

1096
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 5: sense to me to be a series where they would

1097
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 5: start PJ. Washington, Anthony Davis, and Derek Lively. So I

1098
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 5: wonder if maybe Max Christi gets the start for Derek Lively,

1099
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 5: who just returned from injury, which would then have Anthony

1100
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 5: Davis on Sibonas. I don't know if that's good news

1101
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 5: or bad news for the Mavericks. Sabonas could get him

1102
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 5: into the foul trouble for sure, but I think they

1103
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 5: would maybe want a little bit more defensive acumen on

1104
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 5: the perimeter in Max Christy. I don't know. It just

1105
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 5: odd matchups all around, so I don't know. I think

1106
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 5: it would be encouraging for the Mavericks to win, like

1107
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 5: a bigger win for the MAVs. But I'm leaning Kings

1108
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 5: for whatever reason, I don't know.

1109
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 2: I don't feel good about that.

1110
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 3: At all that I know. Whatever you pay it comes

1111
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 3: to the Sacramento Kings, the opposite will happen, as we've

1112
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 3: proven time and time again. Are you backing taking the Kings?

1113
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 3: I am as well, I'm doing like March madness chalk here.

1114
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 3: It feels like with all the disappointed well, I just

1115
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 3: know they're gonna lose now if I am taking them,

1116
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 3: they're going to lose. So congrats to the Dallas Mavericks

1117
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 3: and manywhere you're going with Dallas Sacramento.

1118
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 4: Everything's pointing toward the king. So I feel like it's

1119
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 4: gotta be the Mavericks.

1120
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 3: Okay, where that's right, that's the sword if you do

1121
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: all right. So those are the playing games again. They

1122
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 3: start Tuesday. Wednesday will be course recapping those in detail

1123
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 3: the following morning, and then eventually looking ahead to the

1124
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 3: Friday matchups when we see who the winner and losers

1125
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 3: are of those particular games. But I have the final

1126
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 3: results for how well we fared with our NBA preseason

1127
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 3: over underwin total picks, and I am happy to spit.

1128
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 3: I am happy to say, despite losing the nut dust

1129
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:45,240
Speaker 3: Bowl tray, you cooked this year. Look at these stats.

1130
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,280
Speaker 3: TK hit sixty six percent of his over under picks,

1131
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: finishing ten and five in each conference twenty and ten. Overall,

1132
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: you went four and two with your locks. You hit

1133
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 3: the Celtics over fifty eight and a half. We actually

1134
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 3: all had that one. You hit the Wizards under twenty

1135
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 3: and a half, we all had that one, and you

1136
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 3: hit the Thunder over fifty six and a half. We

1137
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 3: all had that one too. That's a strong strategy, maybe

1138
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 3: playing the consensus. You hit the Jazz under twenty nine

1139
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 3: and a half, and your two losses were taking both

1140
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 3: the heat and Sons over. There's a reason you burn easily.

1141
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,959
Speaker 3: Maybe on the beach, but you actually picked up two

1142
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 3: over under win total victories. On the final day of

1143
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 3: the season. You cashed in on the Raptors under thirty

1144
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 3: and a half. If they had won, that would have

1145
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 3: been thirty one. Tessa and I could have took it obviously,

1146
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 3: and the Grizzlies you had over forty seven and a half,

1147
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 3: so they just got there. And again Tessa and I

1148
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 3: were on the opposite side of that one, so we

1149
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 3: could have used those. As you see our records.

1150
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 2: I locked both of those there. Yeah, you had two

1151
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 2: game down to the final game.

1152
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 3: Two locks that you got sort of screwed there on

1153
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 3: the final day.

1154
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: Was fine.

1155
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 3: I had fourteen sixteen overall records, three and three on

1156
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 3: my locks, and that's fine. I guess my best ones

1157
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 3: were the Knicks under fifty four and a half, the

1158
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 3: Jazz under twenty nine and a half and the Spurs

1159
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 3: under thirty six and a half. And I probably got

1160
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 3: lucky with the Weemen Yama injury for that one. I

1161
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 3: lost on the Magic over Nuggets over by two games

1162
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 3: and the Bulls Under. I was trying to be a

1163
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 3: good friend and said the Holes were gonna be bad

1164
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 3: this year, and then money millise tough year. I have

1165
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 3: you down as eleven and nineteen with the asterisks there though,

1166
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 3: because I swear in watching it a couple of times,

1167
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 3: you never actually picked a side for the Bulls over Under.

1168
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 3: When we did our podcast, I put it down as

1169
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 3: an L. But you're really eleven eighteen and one because

1170
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 3: I don't think you picked.

1171
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 2: Oh I picked all right, I was riding the bulls.

1172
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 3: What do you mean you didn't say it on the podcast?

1173
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 2: Well, I picked them.

1174
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 3: How would I know.

1175
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 2: That you didn't need to do this? I didn't anyways,

1176
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: I'm twelve and eighteen.

1177
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 3: Okay, twelve and eighteen okay? Sure? Sure you went one

1178
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 3: in five on your locks though, And yeah, those two

1179
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: yesterday that you said the wraps in Grizzlies didn't.

1180
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 2: Hit, Yeah, I took the Bucks and the Nuggets way

1181
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 2: over and the horn didn't happen. Yeah, yeah, the Bucks Nuggets.

1182
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 2: I don't feel so bad about the Hornets so gosh terrible.

1183
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 2: And then the as far as the Raptors go, it's

1184
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 2: all injuries, man, it's solid injuries. If Emmanuel quickly plays

1185
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: half the NBA season, they went thirty one games, that's

1186
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:15,479
Speaker 2: for sure.

1187
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 3: One more. It looked like it was gonna happen yesterday

1188
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 3: with Jamison battle on fire early. Well, I was watching.

1189
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 3: I was locked in on Raptors Spurs there for a

1190
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 3: little bit yesterday. But anyway, congrats to you. That's a

1191
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 3: hell of record. Twenty and ten, no joke, it's pretty good.

1192
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 3: You make some cash if you back those.

1193
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 5: And the best pick them record for the season, Yes

1194
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 5: you did, you're right, and the worst Nutust Bowl record,

1195
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 5: Hey the trifacta.

Speaker 3: Work for a little while. You've already sort of done this,

1221
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 3: but that's about the extent.

1222
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,280
