Speaker 4: It's been a while since you gentlemen have thrown some

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: thumbs up or down. So got a few topics.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: I jangle my hand. I don't know if I can

23
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: use that.

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got some slop some other notes that we

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: will debate whether they're up or downworthy. But we had

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 4: some games last night. Actually a lot of games on

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: and we start with a few of the homecomings and

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 4: forty Simons since the late go ahead floater as the

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: Blazers spoiled Damian Lillard's homecoming in Portland. But man, they

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 4: gave them a huge ovation. They gave them two tribute videos,

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: very classy touch actually from Portland there, one highlighting Dames

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: on court accomplishments, iconic moments, and then the other showing

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 4: his impact off the court and in the Portland community.

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 4: So that was pretty cool. But yeah, Blazers sort of

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: shocked the Bucks here at the end.

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: What do you think?

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a huge win for them. I was

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: surprised Dame didn't even take a winning shot attempt at

39
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: the end. It didn't happen. Although, yeah, walking in that

40
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: warning apparently he took his son to school who lives there,

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: and he got a call from CJ McCollum as he

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: was riding in for a shoot around because CJ McComb

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: knows his schedule exactly when he's coming in. And then yeah,

44
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: obviously that arena was a buzz for Dame. Became a

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: ninety second standing ovation before the game, and then yeah,

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: every break was a tribute video. In the first quarter

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: they had two, so I wondered, if are we doing

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: every break? Are we gonna get fifteen here? It didn't happen,

49
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: just the two and it was done. But the Blazers

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: were ready. The Scoot show in the first half was awesome.

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: He came off the bench because the older guys were starting,

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: but he had that dunk where he went underneath the

53
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: hoop and slammed it down. Then he got Dame with

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: the stroke through, you know, the classic classic going through

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: with the ball, and obviously, yeah, they ripped through and

56
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: then Lillard he fouled him, but he had fifteen and

57
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: first half that was nice. This was close until the

58
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: fourth quarter when Andffrey Simon's got it going at the

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: third end of the third quarter. Then the Bucks had

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: six straight turnovers to start the fourth, which was really good. Yeah,

61
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: but they're back. They were coming to back. Late in

62
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: this game. He saw that the giannice block of that eight.

63
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Allue's that's cool? What is that? That's that looks like

64
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: the finals? I mean it basically it looked exactly like

65
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: the finals. Lillard started to turn on the dunk with

66
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: under a minute left, and then Simon's had two consecutive turnovers,

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: so the Bucks took the lead, but Simon's no time

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: out from Chauncy Bils just brings the ball up euro

69
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: step off one foot. You don't see that, ye.

70
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 6: Cool off his right foot, Yeah, handed off shot, especially after,

71
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 6: like you said, the two prior possessions where Beasley was

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 6: cousin havoc all over the floor and Simon's yeah, involved.

73
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: In a couple of those turnovers. So to sort of,

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: you know, settle down and take that shot and then yeah,

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: no dame heroics. So at the end, Brook Lopez should

76
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: have gave it back to him. Man, he was open, Hey,

77
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: let it go. I mean he could have passed it

78
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: back to Damien.

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: He definitely could have. Yeah, Lillard ran to pick and roll,

80
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: he had eight and automate and was kind of taken

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: away his three, so it gave to Brook and then

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: Brooke fired up with three. Although dam was a little

83
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: coach called for it. He was kind of all you

84
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: could have dign that shot with surprise, surprised that he

85
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: didn't get it back and then Brooke missed. But it

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: felt good for Portland to get a win here as

87
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: they sit very very far down the standings. But it

88
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: was a big win for them, obviously, it felt it

89
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: felt like old times for Dame there.

90
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: What do you think, Yeah, pretty cool if that's how

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: you do it, honor your franchise icon and then go

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: beat him. Great stuff. And honestly, they were going at

93
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard for the entirety of the fourth quarter only

94
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: when they weren't going at Malik Beasley. I thought the

95
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Bucks really competed on defense in the last five minutes.

96
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: They're basically switching everything and it was just taking turns

97
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: either pulling Beasley or Lillard into pick and roll and

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: then Jeremy Grant just shooting over the top of him.

99
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: Like Malik Beasley, he's competing, he wants to guard the

100
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: best perimeter guy on the other side, but he's too

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: short and it was just too easy for Jeremy Grant

102
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: shooting over the top. And then Simon's just as well

103
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: for the game winner. Weird stuff, I thought offensively for

104
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: Milwaukee in this one, a lot more Damon brook Lopez

105
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: pick and roll. Giannis got one touch in the half

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: court in the last five minutes of this game. It

107
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: was on a sidelines out of bounds. They threw an

108
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: ALLEYU to him he got fouled. They run a similar play.

109
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: He catches the ball on the wing and hands it

110
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: off to Dame Willard, who shot a hero ball shot

111
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: right away. I don't know, like if the idea is

112
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: getting the ball out of the Janisa's hands, I don't

113
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: think that's the smartest idea from Doc Rivers. I was

114
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: not impressed with the Bucks offense down the stretch at all,

115
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: even the final play they're down by three. Why is

116
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: Dame inbounding to Giannisanza Takumpo when you know they're going

117
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: to file down three ninety feet from the basket. You're

118
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: just asking to give the ball back to Portland. There

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: was no way they were going to win with Dame

120
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: taking the ball out.

121
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, very perplexing decisions here from Doc now oh and

122
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: two in his Milwaukee coaching career, so still looking for

123
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: his first one. You weren't hearing as many comments. I'm

124
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: pumped about the team here. Still really loving this team

125
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: despite the loss after game one, because this one, you

126
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: know you shouldn't be losing to Portland. I'm sorry, You're

127
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: a much better team, but they played great. Contributions from

128
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 4: Grant look at DeAndre Eaton had a good game for him. Obviously,

129
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: Simon's the hero down the stretch. You've rocked him contributing.

130
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, not a good start here for Doc Tass

131
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: and a little confusing, like TK saying some of these

132
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: decisions offensively.

133
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Dave had a bad night when we look

134
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: at it big picture here, he shot three of thirteen

135
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: from three. He was he wasn't feeling it, but they

136
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: kept going back to him, so they may have been

137
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: a little off with all that. And yeah, he did

138
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: turn it on a little bit in that fourth quarter

139
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: with a couple of big plays, but Blazers were far

140
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: better and it was just a fun ESPN game watch.

141
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: They only had one turnover in the first half. Both

142
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: teams only had one turnover in the first half, so

143
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: it was just a good watch. Although I heard some

144
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,679
Speaker 2: shade and sharp news that the injury that he has

145
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: to his groins not allowing him to come back anytime soon.

146
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: They'll update it sometime soon. So I've just started thinking

147
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: about the dunk contest. Is he going to be there?

148
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: It's I'm very unlikely at this point if he's injured.

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but he was on the court warming up,

150
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: so he's not injured, injured, injured, but hopefully he will

151
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: be back. That's what I started thinking about already.

152
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: We have heard any new though that he was even.

153
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: Going to be in the thing, right, No, yeah, well

154
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: no one's in.

155
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't know, Chet mclung. I guess I defend you.

156
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: Any other thoughts on Portland Milwaukee, Yeahduc Rivers.

157
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: When he was hired, he said they're gonna need at

158
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: least one of the young guys to step up and

159
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: play for him, and he hasn't played literally any of

160
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: their young guys a single minute thus far. I think

161
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: that's once again a concern. You're gonna get way too

162
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: many Bobby Portous minutes, I think from the bucks. And

163
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: then you mentioned that dunk that Dame had down the lane.

164
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: Awesome dunk. Mark Jones's call, though, was surprising to me.

165
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: He hit that like a stimulus check.

166
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't get it.

167
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: I was like he cashed a check for six hundred bucks.

168
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, And he said it with some conviction. He had

169
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: that one chambered because he the dunk happened, and it

170
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: was almost like on the replay he let that line go.

171
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't really understand it. Simular check. You're excited

172
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: to get it. That's what sort of sort of sounded

173
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: like he was excited to get the opportunity to slam

174
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: dunk a ball, like he was excited to get the

175
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: opportunity to see a stimulus check a d D A

176
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: direct depositive. I don't know. I don't know either. He

177
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: just had he had one, I guess, playing one in

178
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: the chamber, and that's what it was.

179
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: It was just surprising to me every one that what

180
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: to break it down. It is exciting when you get

181
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: it and you don't think you're gonna get it. My

182
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: guess is that Dame was probably in too high of

183
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: a tax bracket to get the stimulus checked out. I

184
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: don't know, probably.

185
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it was weird they have done it this

186
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: season where the Yannis has been the focus a lot

187
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: of the game and then Dame is the focus the

188
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: last like six minutes.

189
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Clutch Yeah.

190
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to let Yanni's chill a little bit because

191
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: you have Damian Lillard. But he honestly probably didn't feel

192
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: good for him the way he was shooting, and he

193
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: just tried to make up for it a lot.

194
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: Tree is right though, I mean, he was trying to

195
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: go Dame time in Portland. Yeah, the whole time.

196
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, nine to twenty three.

197
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: Which understandable, but they got to win games as well.

198
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 4: Fair all right, moving on, we had another homecoming Kevin Durant.

199
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: He scored thirty three points in Brooklyn. That was his

200
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: return there, leading the Suns to the one thirty six victory.

201
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: And uh, you know, the Nets did play him a

202
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: tribute video before the game, before you know, he was introduced.

203
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 4: It wasn't coming during a timeout in the first quarter,

204
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: even though Katie had asked on social media earlier in

205
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: the week, Hey, don't give me one.

206
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't want one. They said, oh, well we're gonna

207
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: sort into one anyway.

208
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: He was awesome, fucker, and uh yeah. They a pretty

209
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 4: dominant sort of takeover sort of later in the third

210
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 4: quarter into the fourth as Phoenix created some separation Trey.

211
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 4: Any takeaways from Katie's return to Brooklyn.

212
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: If you catch the Suns on the right night, you're like,

213
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the title because they make it look

214
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: so easy. It's one hundred percent Matrix mode. It was

215
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Devin Booker the last time. It's like, oh, you're gonna

216
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: double me. Here's an easy dump off for a basket. Uh,

217
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: you got two guys over here. I'm just gonna go

218
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: the other way and shoot a jumper. That was Kevin

219
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Durant on this night. Anytime he got doubled, it was

220
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: the dump off to Nurkic. Eight assists for Kevin Durant.

221
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: He scored incredibly well, thirty three points, easy jumpers, some

222
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: tough shots as well over smaller defenders. But I just

223
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: think that the peak of the Suns looks so good,

224
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: and if you catch them on the right night, they're like,

225
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: this is the team, this is the team out there.

226
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: How can anybody ever stop this offense? It can look

227
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: ugly in fourth quarters, as we've seen, when they basically

228
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: go into prevent offense mode, but when you're winning by sixteen,

229
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: you don't really got to worry about that.

230
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Big three is starting to look obviously very great.

231
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: They were twenty eight and twenty, and Kevin Durant said,

232
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: we're aiming for thirty and twenty just because he's starting

233
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: to feel good and he's been around the league a

234
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: long time. So when he looks at that and he says, okay,

235
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: we're can I get to fifty plus wins, and you

236
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: look in that Western Conference grouping, that's gonna be a

237
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: rough playoffs for everybody. The Suns, Clippers, and Nuggets are

238
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: in there in the top six, so oldies in the league,

239
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: you know, established players that can win any series. And

240
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: obviously the Wolves in Thunder are there, plus the Kings

241
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: make up the top six, and then there's a you know,

242
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,479
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of other good teams that's gonna be tough. Obviously,

243
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant feels good. They got the ball out of

244
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: his hands and he gave to use of Nurkic, so

245
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: did Booker. That was that was an impressive use of

246
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 2: Nurkic game to be the complimentary guy outside their Big three.

247
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: Fifteen shots, he had eleven of them for twenty eight points.

248
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: Same with Eric Gordon, who's replacing mister Grayson Allen in

249
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: that starting lineup for now, replacing Grayson Lacy Glayson Fallen.

250
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: Allen has hurt himself. I tried, I tried to get

251
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: a foul and Allen, no, it's not that good, not bad.

252
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: He's hurt. But I just like I bring up those

253
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: guys because the support for the Big three is looking good.

254
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: We knew it was gonna take them some time, especially

255
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: with Bradley Beal's injury. So they've got those couple guys

256
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: to go with Grayson Allen, who's been playing well. They've

257
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: decided on Ibanks, You Banks, No, we all Banks, Drew

258
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: you Banks as the backup center. So that's the that's

259
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: their lineup. And we all remember what happened to them

260
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: against the Nuggets last year. They couldn't do it. Chris

261
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: Paul got hurt. I mean, then you start to think

262
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: about this lineup, you think this team could, this team

263
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: could do it.

264
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 4: I just blew my mind. Despite all the injuries to

265
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 4: start the season, that last night's outing marked the seventeenth

266
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: game Durant has played with Booker and Bradley Beal, you know,

267
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 4: his son's co stars this season across the entirety of

268
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: their time together in Brooklyn, Katie, Kyrie and Harden played

269
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: sixteen games.

270
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,479
Speaker 1: That's still that's stat.

271
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: Just blows my mind. So yeah, and that's despite all

272
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 4: the injuries to Phoenix this year. But yeah, they're looking

273
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: better here and they're they're sort of rolling. That record

274
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: caught me with surprise. Yeah, twenty eight and twenty it

275
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: feels like they've been bad, you know, disappointing, and they're

276
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: still you know, hanging around at the top of the

277
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 4: Western Conference. And I'm with you, TK. I know, right

278
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 4: now I will be convincing myself, Oh yeah, they're gonna.

279
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: Win, and you know, they can go on and beat.

280
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 4: This team in this playoffs and they could win the

281
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: whole title. I can see myself doing it. I did

282
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 4: at the start of the season. I was drinking the

283
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: kool aid. But then you see it in action, You're like,

284
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: oh my god, how that's gonna be difficult to stop,

285
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 4: you know, four times out of seven in everything series,

286
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: but last can happen still, and they need the contributions

287
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: like that NRK and Katie action last night Bully. Oh yeah,

288
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: but that's against a team you know in the nets

289
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: that are you know, he's just too big for them.

290
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: And then we had Kevin Durant dropping the little you're

291
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: too small and doing this whole thing again.

292
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: That was a mean one. I felt bad. Who was it,

293
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: Cam Thomas, Yes, it was that was yeah. He just

294
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: like stood stared at him, waited and then finally hit

295
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: him with the pinch. I couldn't tell what he said.

296
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: That little or something like that. He didn't say too small,

297
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: it was a different phrase. That was great. Also, Devin

298
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Booker used Michale Bridges celebbration his like Manny Machado thing

299
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: right at him. That was hilarious. Bridges looked quite sad.

300
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, yeah, yeah, moving on here. Sga scored

301
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 4: thirty four points. Thunder beat the shorthanded Nuggets one o

302
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: five to one hundred. We had this one on playback

303
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: for some of the night. We were focused on this one.

304
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: He was close for a while. Obviously ended a five

305
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 4: point victory for Okac no yokicch So you know, you're

306
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 4: probably not going to take a ton away from this game,

307
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: But what did you think tasks of the Thunder here

308
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: getting the victory on two of the best teams in

309
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 4: the West?

310
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: Oh? Really? It went to the beginning of the fourth

311
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: quarter is where it really started. And that's with Shay

312
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: on the bench and Chet Holmgren out there deciding I

313
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: can beat this Denver Nuggets bench no problem, and he

314
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: got set up for a couple of big shots. They

315
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: went on that fourteen to two run and Shay was

316
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: jumping up from the bench as soon as Chet was

317
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: stroking that three. Chet looked great throughout this game with

318
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: eighteen points set, just supporting Shay, who then came onto

319
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: the floor and was able to get wherever he wanted.

320
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: So even though he's been named an All Star starter,

321
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: he just goes out and looks like one He can

322
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: just he can just do it. He just is a

323
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: phenomenal player that many look at and say, ah, too

324
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: many free throws for that guy. He's not going to

325
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: be able to do it in a postseason. He's just

326
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: a really talented guy. He can get to wherever he

327
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: wants on the floor, and that's what he did in

328
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: this one, you know, without Jokic playing and other guy's

329
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: for stepping up. It was good to see Gordon take

330
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: on more of a role and Porter Junior was awesome too.

331
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: But in the end, okay, see that too much? Okay,

332
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: see it too much? Even with oh Jalen Williams, who's

333
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: hurt right now?

334
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: Yeah again, we had this one playback. Anything to add

335
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: TK that he didn't last night?

336
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hot, Abe was looking good. I liked what Chet Holmgren,

337
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: how he played last night with no Jokic out there.

338
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Chet's kind of hit the wall a little bit here

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: in the past couple of weeks. He's coming off a

340
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: nine point game in a four point game, I think,

341
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: but there was no size inside for Denver. They played

342
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: small all night with Aaron Gordon at the five, so

343
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Chut was inside all night. He took nine shots at

344
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: the rim. He had five offensive rebounds, five blocks. He

345
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: had that big tip dunk in the fourth quarter. At

346
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: one point he got Jamal Murray on him on a switch,

347
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: bullied him inside shot the hook over the top. He

348
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: was like, I'm the tallest guy out here. I might

349
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: not be the widest guy out here, but I'm still

350
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: sticking inside. And he was really great. I also think

351
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Vasilli Meechic that guys fun to watch. He is not

352
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: often in the rotation for the Thunder, but they're thirteen

353
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: and seven when he plays ten or more minutes. Oh

354
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: that's because he plays mostly in blowouts. Like every game

355
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: you see is like plus twenty six for the Thunder,

356
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: but twelve points five assists last night he actually made

357
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: some shots, which isn't always the case with Mechich. He's

358
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: at least exciting to watch as a random dude who

359
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: comes off the bench. And then Test mentioned that was

360
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: a cool Aaron Gordon game, he was basically in Yokich mode.

361
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: They're playing throw him at the elbows, letting him pass.

362
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: He had seven assists, sixteen points, thirteen rebounds. The big

363
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,479
Speaker 1: difference though, is that when Aaron Gordon rolls to the rim,

364
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: he's not stopping at the free throw line to find

365
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: a cutter. He's detonating on your head. He had a

366
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: monster dunk in this one too.

367
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would add to the thunder bench Wiggins

368
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: twenty five minutes, five of eight. He's great as well.

369
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I like we've said this before about the

370
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 4: thunder roster. It's like they are one of those teams

371
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 4: like you got your star guys and then it's like

372
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: you don't know who's gonna pop off. Be it a

373
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: Joe one night, a Wiggins metchicch Obviously Wallace as the

374
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: Ruckus had some good games. They just have so many

375
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: guys on the team that they feel comfortable slotting in

376
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: there and can go off on any given night.

377
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kendrich Williams got his first started season. Wasn't all

378
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: that goody. He didn't have to do much because they've

379
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: got so much support and trust from Mark Digno who

380
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: just lets them all go and try it out, and

381
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: it was cool.

382
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: It was cool. It was cool for them just.

383
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: To have all their all their guys play and be good.

384
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: Cool coach moments.

385
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: Last night, I thought Chauncey Billips allowing Andthrety Simons to

386
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: go try and get that game winning shot after turning

387
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: to the ball over two consecutive times didn't look all

388
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: that good. They didn't call a timeout. Simon's just eurosp

389
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: I don't know how he did it, And it just

390
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 2: reminded me of, Yeah, when I watched this OKC game,

391
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: like Case and Wallace and another Jalen Williams off the bench.

392
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: They've they've got so many guys including Vasilium Mechicic, who yeah,

393
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: will probably not be in a playoff rotation, but it

394
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: doesn't it's uh, They've got the depth, so they're they're

395
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: just a tough team to beat.

396
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler scores thirty one points to help the Heat

397
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 4: beat the Kings one fifteen, one oh six. This is

398
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 4: noteworthy because they snapped a seven game skid and Butler

399
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 4: was you know, he was a monster. Thirty one seven

400
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: and six ten or fourteen from the field get into

401
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: the free throw line and Josh richardson task what you've

402
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: talked a lot about. He did come off the bench

403
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 4: and he scored a season high twenty four points. He

404
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: had six threes, So they snapped the losing streak. They

405
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: really needed this one. Uh and Sacramento just never wins

406
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 4: in Miami. I saw an insane an insane stat from

407
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: Deuce and Mo here this morning on Twitter that the

408
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 4: the Kings are like five and thirty one in Miami

409
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: and Chris Weber in fact, never won a.

410
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: Game in Miami.

411
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 4: They won once in two thousand and one, but he

412
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 4: didn't play in that game. So just like mind blowing

413
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,479
Speaker 4: stuff here, so they never win there. But he got

414
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: it done and they were led by Jimmy.

415
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: Sometimes that back to back in Florida's tough, Orlando then

416
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: Miami having fun South Beach flu should imagine you.

417
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: Get to go one time a year? Yeah, exactly, exactly, Yeah.

418
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: It ain't that surprising. Let's let's go talk to those

419
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: old Sacramento Kings, so wo'd be go and ask Volati, Dvach,

420
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: Chris Webber, Mike Bibbi, Doug Christie why they didn't win

421
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: in my there's gotta be Adory Prime one twelve, I'm sure.

422
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: And then they ate that giant ass salad at Prime.

423
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: Holy crap.

424
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, wedge salad was huge.

425
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: It's the biggest salad I've ever seen in my life.

426
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yeah, Like, and that was only

427
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: a wedge. Imagine how big the head of let four

428
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: of those salads. It was as big as the table.

429
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: Does it makes sense?

430
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: Good news for you in this one, JD. Because we

431
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: talked about Starry and how they're going to be a

432
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: three point contest spot again, you know those two spots.

433
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: Josh Richardson was awarded this Storry three point shot of

434
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: the night. He was he was giving it.

435
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: Tone because he hit a three point on the broadcast.

436
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: Isn't that exciting?

437
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 5: I'm glad to hear Starry mentioned this show again for free.

438
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it was great for them because it looked

439
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: like the Miami Heat, not of the early two thousands,

440
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: but of the team that went to the finals where

441
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: they just keep moving that thing over and over and

442
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. Tarot Zeers started. He

443
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: was one of eight not that could be a ten assists.

444
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: Six guys had three or more assists on this team.

445
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: Forty assists in total on forty two baskets. That's a

446
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: franchise record. That's almost impossible to do. Forty assists on

447
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: forty two baskets. And yeah, I was fine watching Josh

448
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: Richardson off the bench, but he was doing Miami heat

449
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: things where he was scrambling to double to get in

450
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: there and do those type of things. He threw a

451
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: baseball pass or Patrick Mahomes pass, whatever you want to

452
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: call it, to Jimmy Butler fifty feet. He was awesome.

453
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 2: He finished the game. Yeah, six threes. How does that

454
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 2: happen for Josh Ritza And it's not gonna happen forever,

455
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: but yeah, he was just splashing. Yeah, they needed a win,

456
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: so I don't know if this was just just a

457
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 2: rest because they had lost so many games that they

458
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: were going to win one. But the fact that they

459
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 2: were passing that much again, it looked like Goran Dragic

460
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Butler and all those guys who were able

461
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: to go to the finals, they just passed it more.

462
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: That's that's what Eric Spoultra has been wanting.

463
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 4: Any thoughts on that game where you want me to

464
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 4: throw the other ones out?

465
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: You, I like Miami. Having fifty points in the pain

466
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: they averaged forty five, twenty eighth in the NBA. Like

467
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: you said, the assists were great, but they only took

468
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight threes. The problem with the Heat offense is

469
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: they take so many midrange jumpers. Jimmy's a midrange guy,

470
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: BAM's a mid range guy. Hero likes to pull up

471
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: in the mid range as well, so they got to

472
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: get more threes up. But on a night when you're

473
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: actually able to score at the rim, keep going to

474
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: the rim.

475
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: The other games we had, Mitchell scored forty five as

476
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: the Caves held off the Pistons. One Darius Garland did return.

477
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: He played Kobe White, was awesome for your bulls there.

478
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 4: Thirty five points handed the Hornets their fifth straight loss.

479
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 4: Jyv and Ingram helped the Pelicans get past the Rockets.

480
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 4: They snapped a little skid that they were on. Hounds

481
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: led the Wolves to the dominant victory over the MAVs,

482
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: who had no Luca and no Kyrie, and the Magic

483
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: staved off a fourth quarter rally to topple the Spurs

484
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: one to eight ninety eight. They were up huge. We

485
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 4: were basically done with that game. On playback, and then

486
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 4: somebody in the chat was like, that's like a two

487
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: point game now, and it was like, what the hell?

488
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 4: The Spurs got back into that game in a hurry,

489
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 4: but the Magic pulled out in the end. Any of

490
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 4: those games you wanted to address?

491
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: Kobe White thirty five points, nine assists, twenty came in

492
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: the second half they beat the Hornets. Who cares? But

493
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: I was interested to see where Kobe White falls in

494
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: the MIP leader boards right now, because I'm thinking this

495
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: guy's got to be top three case oh I think so? Yeah?

496
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: Where do you think he finished or is right now?

497
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: According to bet mgmh.

498
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 4: According to the odds, Yes, according to the odds. Well,

499
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: you're making it sound like he's lower. So is he

500
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: like fifth or something like that?

501
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: Nice third?

502
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: Oh?

503
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: Okay, like fair, pretty fair? Who do you think there

504
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: is the top two? Oh? Good question? MIP MAXI right now? Yeah?

505
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: And then is it someone's similar similar to a Maxi

506
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 4: kind of character, not in play style, but maybe in

507
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: like reputation?

508
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: Right, so will be an all like flirting with an

509
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: all star, flirting, flirting, hurting, flirting, but he won't make it,

510
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't think. But he's he's sick to watch. He's

511
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: a future All Star. Absolutely, It's not Scottie. No, it'd

512
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: be weird. Uh, I don't know.

513
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 2: I don't know.

514
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: Shanngun, Oh, yeah, Shin.

515
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: I thought Shanghun. But when you said a Maxi style.

516
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I threw you off with. He's gonna be a

517
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: snub list for All Stars.

518
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 4: He's probably not gonna make it tonight, but he'll be

519
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: on a lot of people's list tomorrow.

520
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: Shangun. Yeah, but man, Kobe White, he's averaging ten more

521
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: points per game this season than he was last year.

522
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: So if this was I don't know, twenty twelve, I

523
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: think he would be the leader. Right now, m IP

524
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: tends to go from good to great, and that's exactly

525
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: what Maxie is, rather than player to good player. Yeah, oh,

526
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: you're right. So that's something ten years ago. This is

527
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: he's the leader.

528
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 4: That's exactly right in the odds, but it's changed. It's now, Yeah,

529
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 4: who's the good player who's turned into like an All Star,

530
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: you know, and one of the top twenty five guys

531
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 4: in the league. And that's sort of what max He's done.

532
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 4: We've seen it with John Moram, We've seen with the

533
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 4: other guys, So all right, good stuff. Any thoughts on

534
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: any of those games?

535
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pistons Cavs. Obviously the Calves got to win that game,

536
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 2: but it came down to the wire and the Pistons

537
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 2: were playing freaking well. Danil Gallinari performed his trade deadline audition.

538
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: I think last night he was bawling actually coming off

539
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: the bench for the Detroit Pistons and save me. Yeah,

540
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: twenty points for this guy. I've scored eleven thousand points

541
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Trade for me. Now, I'm not sure

542
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: that Boston Celtics can afford it. It's a lot of money,

543
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: but I would kind of like to see him go

544
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: back to Boston where he signed that long term deal,

545
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: but it's eight eight million, so it's difficult to do there.

546
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: Are there's definitely a chance you involve a third team there.

547
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 2: It could happen to get him out there. But it

548
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 2: was an interesting game that I went down to the

549
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: wire and those guys and Havin Mobile and Darius Garland,

550
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 2: who are trying to work themselves back into their prominent roles,

551
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: they didn't close the game in this one. They were

552
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: on the bench and Jared Allen along with Donovan Mitchell

553
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: were absolutely balling. I'm sure Jared Allen's going to get

554
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: snobbed in the All Star Reserves games tonight, but that

555
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: guy is just the one of the least talked about

556
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: players in the NBA, but he's been really important for them.

557
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 4: All Right, well, let's take a break and when we

558
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: come back, we are going to get into the Updown

559
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 4: Report to talk about Embiid, talk about the rocket slop,

560
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 4: and a whole lot more. Don't go anywhere, all right,

561
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 4: back in the Classic Factory, we're laughing at some of

562
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 4: the comments here from the stream team. Make sure you

563
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: hit the like button, make sure you subscribe.

564
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: Let's get into the Updown Report.

565
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's been a minute since we've gotten into

566
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 4: the Updown Report. Gotta find out if your thumbs up

567
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: or thumbs down on a few topics. First one, according

568
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: to WOJ Joelle Embiid out for tonight's game against the

569
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,120
Speaker 4: Utah Jazz and we'll receive further evaluation.

570
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: On his left knee in the coming hours. Now.

571
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: The reigning MVP was injured in the fourth quarter of

572
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: Tuesday Nights lost to the Warriors when Kaminga fell there

573
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 4: on the knee seventy six Ers zho to four on

574
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: this current five game trip. So here's my question off

575
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: of this in the updown report Upper down on the

576
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: Sixers staying competitive without Joel Embiid. We're waiting to find

577
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 4: out the severity and how long he'll miss, but you

578
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: can assume it's going to be a week, few weeks,

579
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 4: maybe longer. Can they stay competitive?

580
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: Upper down?

581
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: Up? I think they can because Tyrus Maxi hasn't been

582
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: part of this road trip at all. Basically, he's missed

583
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 2: every single one of their losses, was hurt in one

584
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: of them. So I think if he's coming back, which

585
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: it looks like he'll be back against the Utah Jazz,

586
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: yes he can stay competitive. And that's also me just

587
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: thinking that this injury isn't that substantial and that he'll

588
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: be back at some point. You know, we were all pondering, oh,

589
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: maybe he should have sat against the Pacers and played

590
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: against the Nuggets and he would have been okay. And

591
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: the fact that he's going to do more testing at home,

592
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: I think just means that he's just going to sit

593
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: out the Utah Jazz game regardless. And this is just

594
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: a good way of getting home. I'm just assuming that

595
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 2: he's not that injured, but I could be totally entirely wrong.

596
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: We hope you're right on that one.

597
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: But what do you think, Trey again, if he's missing

598
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: some significant time here, can the Sixers stay competitive? Thumbs

599
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: up or sums down?

600
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm more down on this one. Three and nine without

601
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: Embid so far the season. Like you're saying, a lot

602
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: of those have come with Maxie, but there was also

603
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: a run where it was just Maxie without Embid, and

604
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: they didn't look the same because the guy is absolutely

605
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: dominant every single minute he's on the court. As for

606
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: staying competitive, the good thing is that the schedule's pretty soft. Yeah,

607
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: for the Sixers. They've got the Jazz on the road tonight,

608
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: then the nice home stand here Nets Mavericks, Warriors, Hawks,

609
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: then they go on the road for the Wizards and Calves,

610
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: come back home for the Heat, then it's the All

611
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 1: Star Break. My guess he probably doesn't play any of

612
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: those games. They can stay competitive through those ones, and

613
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: they've got a five game lead as of now on

614
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: the seventh seed. So if m Beat is able to

615
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: make it back this season, hopefully that's the case. Hopefully

616
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: he's only out for a couple of weeks. Hopefully he

617
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: can get back into rhythm like he has been prior

618
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: to gimping through some things a little bit here, they

619
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: can still be in the mix for a home playoff seed.

620
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: I think agreed. Yeah, eight games before the All Star Game.

621
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: If he sits out until the All Star break, it's

622
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: probably good feeling for him and probably I think something

623
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: they're thinking about because he doesn't care to win the MVP.

624
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a rap basically anyway. Yeah,

625
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: the sixty five games.

626
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 2: R Yeah, I misses. If he misses all these games,

627
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: and that's that's what he's I'm sure taking into account

628
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: last year he would have been like, oh god, I

629
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: gotta play. I gotta win the MVP this year. I

630
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: think that's that's gone. He's already done that. So he

631
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: just has to be obviously healthier as the season goes on.

632
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: We've seen him bumped it, bumped and hurt into the

633
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: playoffs before. He just wants to be healthy, So I

634
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: think he could sit these eight games and listen, he's

635
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: tough too, guys. Are teams are bouncing ahead of them

636
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: for sure.

637
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: But well, that's it.

638
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: Right, The Knicks are playing their best ball, The Calves

639
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: are playing their best ball. You know, the Pacers obviously

640
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 4: with the Siakam trade and Halliburton returning, you know, you

641
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 4: think they're gonna start getting their stuff together here. These

642
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: are all teams that are like in the mix there

643
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: with the Sixers. You know, lucky luckily for them, I

644
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 4: guess for Philadelphia. You know, the Heat just had a

645
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: seven game slide and so didn't make up any ground.

646
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: But I'm with Trey, I'm sort of down. But the

647
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 4: right move here, don't get me wrong, is don't play here.

648
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: Come back after the All Star break hopefully, and then

649
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 4: you know, start ramping up and be healthy come playoffs.

650
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: It's all the matters for him and this team. He

651
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: has to be dominant come April and May, and especially

652
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 4: once we get done of the idea that he could

653
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: even win MVP or All NBA. Sure, that's weird, I

654
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: get it. It will be weird if the guy averages

655
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 4: thirty five points per game and isn't on an All

656
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: NBA team. It's gonna be strange. But we'll talk about

657
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: it when it happens. But yeah, just come back hopefully.

658
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 4: It's nothing I'm just like, I'm dreading, dreading that it's

659
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: like done for the season, because it's possible. I mean,

660
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 4: we were hoping the MRI comes back and then now

661
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: they're saying, no, now he's going to fly home and

662
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: get more looked at.

663
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I think they like the fact

664
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: that this this that he's got to get more research

665
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: done is just gets him out of the Utah Jazz game.

666
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: I think that is a good thing for them. And

667
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: no one's asking, oh, where is he? Is he coming back?

668
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 4: But maybe I mean people saw him his knee sort

669
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: of like go backwards when Kaminga fell on him, Okay, and.

670
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: I went backwards. Yeah, who knows he did limp off.

671
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: I just don't think it really matters where the Sixers

672
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: end in the standings, like we've seen it the last

673
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: few years, and they they're kind of like a middle

674
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 2: pack team. Last couple of years. They were finished fourth

675
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: when they beat the Raptors a couple of years ago,

676
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: then they finished third last year when they lost again.

677
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: So they're going to be on the road for the

678
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: second round again. That's just what happens.

679
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: I do think it means that Darryl Morey will be

680
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: pretty aggressive this week because I think the Sixers needed

681
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: an upgrade on their number three option before Embeat even

682
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: went out with injury. Now you're gonna need somebody to

683
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: help carry the offense alongside Maxi, who is a good

684
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: pull up shooter but also often a bad pull up shooter.

685
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: He's better at catching shoot, so they could use another

686
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: ball handler, which is why they've been so attached to

687
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: de Jonte Murray. Yeah.

688
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 4: Oh well, okay, let's talk slop because a new slop

689
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 4: arrived thanks to our guys at the Athletic According to

690
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 4: Eco Shams and Amick, my favorite NBA law firm, Houston

691
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 4: is keeping tabs on Kelly Olynyk Clin Cappella, Andre Drummond.

692
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: Time Lord.

693
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: They want a defensive minded big. They're thinking about Malcolm Brogden,

694
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 4: Jalen Green. He may no longer be untouchable. You want

695
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: Jalen Green. You can maybe get him and the golden

696
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 4: corn in the trough for all the piggies of the slop.

697
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 4: The Rockets even made an offer for the Nets Mikhale Bridges. Apparently,

698
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 4: Houston was prepared to send back several of Brooklyn's unused

699
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 4: remaining draft picks. From the hard and trade. Now the

700
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: Nets have said no, but up or down to you

701
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 4: get it started here, up or down on the Rockets

702
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: aggressively trying to trade for mckill Bridges and just all

703
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: of this slop. I guess okay, thumbs down.

704
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm down on trying to trade for McHale Bridges, specifically

705
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: for the Houston Rockets. I just think those Nets picks

706
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: are way too valuable to cash them in for McHale

707
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: Bridge is a guy who's twenty seven, almost gonna be

708
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, a very very good player. But

709
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that adding McHale Bridges to what the

710
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Brockets have going on puts them anywhere in the stratosphere

711
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: of contenders right here. So why not just hang on

712
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: to those super valuable picks and hope that the next

713
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: trade McHale Bridge is somewhere else so those picks get

714
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: even better. People actually like going to Houston. They'll be

715
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: able to sign free agents, They'll be able to package

716
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of expiring contracts and picks and young guys

717
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: that they don't want to pay in the future to

718
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: get a big time star who will actually re sign

719
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: in Houston. So I would prefer to keep my powder dry.

720
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: But I know Udoka is basically pushing.

721
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: Like I make the playoffs.

722
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta make the playoffs, which is why they're

723
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: attached to like every other possible name here. So go

724
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: for one of the smaller names and get into the

725
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: tenn seed.

726
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Who knows what their offer for mckel Bridges actually

727
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: was with these draft picks that they got. Was it unprotected?

728
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: Was it a lottery protected? Because I'm sure, I'm sure,

729
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: and they should want to use those picks instead of

730
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: training it for somebody who mckel Bridges was traded for

731
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: a lot of picks. I mean they were able to

732
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: get a lot of picks back from the Phoenix Suns

733
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 2: for Kevin Durant, so he came along with a lot

734
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: of picks there. I don't see why they would even

735
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: trade him. I would say this is down from the

736
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: Rockets perspective and from the Nets perspective. I just don't

737
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: see why they would trade mckel bridges at this point

738
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: unless it's yes, first these unprotected and incredible picks, I

739
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 2: don't see it happening. I mean, the Nets did something.

740
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: They're obviously struggling here. It's nice to hear that the

741
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: Rockets are want to go for it and in some way,

742
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: and you look up and down the roster, how many

743
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: guys they have. Shangun is obviously established really well. Jalen

744
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: Green has good moments and bad moments. He you know,

745
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: he was averaging in that article. It was good to note.

746
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: Good to see twenty six point eight seven point two

747
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 2: rebounds and forces over the last five games before yesterday

748
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: when he had an opher and he had zero. I

749
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 2: love the guy, but there he is up and down.

750
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: There is no doubt. But there are guys in Jabari

751
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: Smith and Tarry Easton and I'm and Thompson and cam

752
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: what more of that other teams are looking at like,

753
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I would like them on my team. There's

754
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: no doubt. So they do have they are they have,

755
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: you know, so many of those guys that I'm sure

756
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: they're going to be talking to teams.

757
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a lot in this article, Like I

758
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 4: set this up with some of the notes, but the

759
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 4: other one was Jayshawn Tate is attracting interest from teams

760
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 4: like the Suns and the Celtics. But my biggest takeaway, like, okay,

761
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: this bridge is thing I don't think is happening. I

762
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 4: don't you know, the Nets aren't doing it, and probably wisely,

763
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 4: Jalen Green sounds like it's.

764
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: Like I mean this to me.

765
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 4: Within all this article is like Jalen Green, we will

766
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 4: we will trade him for the right piece coming back.

767
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 4: So make your offers. And honestly, like intriguing young player

768
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 4: who's still at this point of his career looks awesome

769
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 4: some nights and other nights is like an over and

770
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: the Rockets are like pivoting to we got our vets

771
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 4: in here that we got in Fred van Vliet and Brooks.

772
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 4: We love Shnguon as a building block, and maybe Green

773
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: doesn't fit the timeline moving forward, so let's hear your offers.

774
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 4: That's that's a suddenly a very interesting name at the

775
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 4: deadline here with a week ago.

776
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: Definitely a guy who's gonna be dangled hard here because

777
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: a very talented player and when you see him on

778
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: his best nights, he looks awesome and he's playing his

779
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: best basketball right now, but could easily not be in

780
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: their long term plans just because they have so many

781
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: good young guys who they're gonna have to pay, and

782
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: then they've got all these picks coming in the future

783
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: as well. You literally can't pay everybody. So would you

784
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: rather pay cam Wit more like twenty five percent of

785
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: what you're gonna pay Jalen Green? Maybe? Yeah, yeah, exactly.

786
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 4: And I could see teams when you see Jalen Green

787
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 4: as like we could have we could get him, We

788
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 4: could get an explosive score that obviously young. Still, you

789
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 4: know there's gonna be teams that are interested in that,

790
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 4: Teams that are, like, you know, maybe not going for

791
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: a championship this year, but there's a lot of other

792
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 4: mediocre to bad teams in this league. Who if you

793
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 4: can get Jalen Green for you know, a decent deal,

794
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: do it.

795
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: That was a treat by that.

796
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm interested to see who we be traded for.

797
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: If we're talking to Mickel Bridges here, then Jayalen Green

798
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: would be the big gem of that package. It wouldn't

799
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: be like Jalen Green in two first round picks. Highly doubted.

800
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: So a fun article. Many many, many, many players to

801
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: be had at Houston's. But what are they trading them for?

802
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: And so they're.

803
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: Just open for business man, Okay, they are open. They're

804
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 4: saying we want we want to make the playoffs. Yeah, yeah,

805
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: they did for it, and we got picks, we got

806
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 4: young guys, let's go.

807
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but mckail bridges. I really wonder what they're offering

808
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: for mckail bridges. Of course, yeah, mckel bridge is on

809
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 2: their roster to be damn good, right, but how how

810
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 2: deep are they going on that for on those first.

811
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 4: Round And it sounds like it doesn't matter because the

812
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 4: Nets are like, it doesn't we don't care, We're not

813
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: training him.

814
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: I think the Nets would do it if the Rockets

815
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: decided to give them all their picks back, all of them.

816
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all of them.

817
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: They have their unprotected pick in twenty four to twenty five,

818
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: twenty six and twenty seven James Harden, Yeah, he's two

819
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: teams past. The Nets are right, Yeah, yeah, So I

820
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: think they would do it. And of course the Nets

821
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: are one of the biggest liars of all time. At

822
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: the trade that they said they weren't trading Kyrie Irving

823
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant last year. They're on different teams.

824
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they got unprotected picks. I doubt I doubt

825
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: that they would get back unprotected picks. It's fun to say, hey, yeah,

826
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: we'll just.

827
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: Trade it exactly. That's why we say we're not trading them.

828
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it seems like teams don't trade first round

829
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 2: picks the way they did even last year. I mean,

830
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 2: they just don't. They protect them if they do, and

831
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 2: they were dealing way less of them. So that's what's happening,

832
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: although it'll be fun the next seven days.

833
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 4: Important to note, though, when it is slop season, that

834
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 4: also means it's smoke screen season. They go hand in

835
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 4: hand with all of these reports and oh, we're not

836
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 4: doing that, or no, we would never trade that person. Eh, Yeah,

837
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 4: that's the smoke screen.

838
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: A lot of the times can be yeah, and they

839
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: could just be dialing it into the media just to

840
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: say that, hey, we're talking to teams. But they may

841
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: not be really, they may not really have anything substantial

842
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 2: even though their team is fun. They went and got Fred,

843
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: they went and got a jock in Landale. Why the

844
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: heck isn't he playing?

845
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: They want to trade him?

846
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they have expiring contracts, the Rockets do.

847
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: In Oladipo.

848
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 4: There's bobon there is, yeah, Jacquelindale's contract. That's he's got

849
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 4: the weird contract, right.

850
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not guaranteed past this year, So.

851
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: Jeff Green, they could trade. There's a lot of guys

852
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: they could trade.

853
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they have lots of.

854
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: Well, let's move on here, talk a little bit more

855
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 4: about trades because the deadline is approaching and some teams

856
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 4: have been active. Still plenty of others who might need

857
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: to make a move. So ESPN they had their experts

858
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 4: come up with some fake trades, and Kevin Pelton the

859
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 4: machine he went star hunting for Lebron and I have

860
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 4: seen this trade in some form or another getting floated

861
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: around left and right. Here it's a three team deal hypothetical.

862
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 4: It's really simple to follow. The Lakers they get to

863
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 4: de Jontay Murray, the Hawks they get Spencer Dinwittie and

864
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty nine first round pick by way of

865
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 4: the Lakers, and the Nets they get D'Angelo Russell coming home. Okay,

866
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 4: so we're we're doing a swapping here of guards. De

867
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 4: Jonte to the Lakers, Spencer and that pick to the Hawks,

868
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: and the Nets getting D'Angelo Russell. Are you up or

869
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 4: down on this hypothetical three team times?

870
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: Down?

871
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: Thank you?

872
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: The Atlanta Hawks snore at this one. They say for

873
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: John ta Murray, who gave up a thousand picks for

874
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 2: what we're gonna get him back for it is a

875
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 2: first round pick for the Los Angeles Lakers. Yeah, they've

876
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: got They've got some really good players on that team.

877
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 2: It's going to be a mediocre pick at best.

878
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 4: It's in it's far Okay, Davis will be a bull

879
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,439
Speaker 4: by then right at the end of his career.

880
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: That's when they go to the ball.

881
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody goes, everybody goes to Chicago. But really, you're

882
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 2: gonna get what could be an okay pick and Spencer

883
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: Dinwitty for de Jontay Murray. I'm not saying that your

884
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: team is getting any better now. I don't. I don't

885
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 2: think the new front office of Landry Fields and Kyle

886
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 2: Korver or that's just not good. They're not going to

887
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 2: start this this run as being in the front office

888
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: with that. That's not good enough.

889
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 4: The Hawks are apparently seeking two first round picks, and

890
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 4: they're looking to shed future payroll without taking any back

891
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 4: to avoid the luxury tax next season in trade talks

892
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 4: for de Jontay Murray. We know that, and then Woes

893
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 4: this morning is saying the Hawks want Austin reeves in

894
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 4: any sort of de Jontay Murray type deal, and that's

895
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 4: where the hang up is. Wosh also said Lakers players

896
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 4: and fans loved players and fans, should temper their expectations

897
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 4: for this trade deadline, and that wos thanks waiting until

898
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 4: the offseason when they have three available first round picks

899
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 4: to start putting into deals. Then maybe you can get

900
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 4: something done, but not maybe at this deadline with just

901
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 4: that one pick. But anyway, are you up or down

902
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 4: on this KP hypothetical?

903
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: Just keep waiting, Lakers, just keep waiting. Kendrick Nunn is

904
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: coming soon. No no, no, Kay Benson's coming back soon.

905
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: No no no.

906
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: We're getting somebody at the in the summer. It should

907
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: be fine. If I'm the Hawks, I'd rather have the

908
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: lakers twenty nine pick than D'Angelo Russell. I'll start there.

909
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: But I also don't think the Hawks can bottom out.

910
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,439
Speaker 1: They owe San Antonio unprotected pick in twenty twenty five,

911
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: they swap rights with them in twenty twenty six, and

912
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: then they ownly Glam another unprotected pick in twenty twenty seven.

913
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: So the Hawks have to stay good or they're losing

914
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: some pretty bad or some pretty good picks here. Yeah,

915
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: so do not understand the interest in de Jontey Murray.

916
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: The Hawks are a team that has had him now

917
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: for two seasons and they're trying to trade him before

918
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: his extension kicks in and before they have paid back

919
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: anything that they owe to Spurs. But he's the hottest

920
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: name out there.

921
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like, think about this, if they did some

922
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 4: sort of deal like this, especially when you're like, oh,

923
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 4: they want to like cut payroll and all that, that

924
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 4: would be like three basically three starting, starting caliber guys

925
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: in a row that the Hawks are just trading for

926
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 4: like cost cutting, like Herder Collins and then Jontay Murray's

927
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 4: on another level. But my god, like what are they doing?

928
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, again this is hypothetical. I mean when you

929
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 4: start saying, hey, you got to include Austin Reeves. No,

930
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm not the biggest Austin Reefs fan in the world,

931
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 4: but I think it starts to make a little bit

932
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 4: more sense if you are ready to move off of

933
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 4: to Jante Murray, like and you're demanding that back and

934
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 4: then a third team or whatever. Okay, it starts to

935
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 4: make a little bit more sense. But yeah, maybe I

936
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know what to think about John

937
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 4: Ta Murray anymore, and whether or not he's gonna just

938
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 4: end up in La and bron gets his way.

939
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: This wouldn't be a fun a fun day in Atlanta

940
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 2: because they've been getting Literally, Spencer Dinwoody would be starting

941
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 2: beside Treon. That's what they're going for. A guy who

942
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: needs the ball in his hands, needs to be the

943
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: starter of He's.

944
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: A way worse to Jante Murray. They thought he was

945
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: on strike this year.

946
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it doesn't make any sense if for the

947
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 2: contract reasons. Yeah, but yeah, if if Atlanta's rebuilding this thing,

948
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: they got to go defense in some way, and Spencer

949
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: ain't that guy. So I'm not sure what they're thinking

950
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 2: they're but this team is just so poor defensively. It's bad.

951
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: We went and watched the G League Skyhawks. They play

952
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 2: way harder on the defense events It's sad, it's not

953
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: right true, And so yeah, I wonder if they're sitting

954
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 2: there and saying, Trey Young's going to be our our guy,

955
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 2: but we need defense around him, guys who care, and

956
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate. Yeah, they gave up Kevin Herder, who was

957
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: a big part of that twenty one Conference finals team

958
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: John Collins, who was a part of that twenty one

959
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: Conference finals team, and they signed DeAndre Hunter to a

960
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: long term deal. He just can't play. Who's really good defensively,

961
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 2: but he's always injured. So here we are. That ain't good.

962
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 2: This ain't real. This is not a hypothetical. I do

963
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: not buy it.

964
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: Okay, that trade is not real. I do like the

965
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: idea of the Nets reuniting D'Angelo Russell and Ben Simmons,

966
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: so back to back high school championships. We forgot to

967
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 1: want anything.

968
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 4: Since I forgot to even mention that Ben Simmons didn't

969
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 4: play last night, I know.

970
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: I was shocked. Oh my god, I was shocked by

971
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: a lot of things. He brought up. Kendrick Nunn going

972
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: back to the Los Angeles Lakers. I was looking at

973
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 2: his stats recently because he's playing Greece. The man is young,

974
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 2: and he goes and plays in Greece at least thirteen

975
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: point three per game. That's something. He's twenty eight. I

976
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: guess he's all, Well.

977
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 4: Here's here's who could fix the Hawks. Get Marcasol, talk

978
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,959
Speaker 4: him out a retirement, good get him on Lanta. Yeah,

979
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 4: Marcasol standout defender during his fourteen NBA seasons. He officially

980
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 4: announced his retirement on Wednesday.

981
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 6: Now.

982
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 4: He last appeared in the NBA in twenty twenty twenty

983
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 4: one season. Had been playing in his native Spain for

984
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 4: the last few years, a team in which he owns.

985
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 4: He made three All Star teams. He won Defensive Player

986
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 4: of the Year. He was named two All NBA squads.

987
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 4: He won his only title with Toronto, huge instrumental part

988
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 4: of the Raptors Championship in twenty nineteen, shutting down Embiid,

989
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 4: hitting a bunch of threes, chugging wine during the parade,

990
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 4: and he had an incredible international career.

991
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Are you up or down?

992
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: Though? On Marcasol Hall of Fame chances you get.

993
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: Started, easy up, easy up, easy up. Good NBA career,

994
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: like you're saying, three time All Star, two time All NBA,

995
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,479
Speaker 1: has accolades on top of that, and then the great

996
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: international career I think really pushes him over the top.

997
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 1: Two Olympic silvers Boston twice, two World Cup Golds, probably

998
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: beat to USA twice in that one, and then two

999
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: EuroBasket Golds as well. Yeah, he's an easy, easy in.

1000
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you may label him or he may

1001
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: get the tag of International Hall of Famer if that

1002
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 2: means anything, because they allow guys to have great international

1003
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: careers that get him in. But that was big, I

1004
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 2: mean two big medals for Spain. He has become a

1005
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 2: he's become a great guy. So, yeah, just a good person.

1006
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame of people undoubtedly is Marc Gasol. So

1007
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 2: he gets in for that. Read that great ESPN article

1008
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: where he was in the Mediterranean twenty twenty one trying

1009
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: to save people in boats who are leaving. I forgot

1010
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: that was a phenomenal article. But he's just a good

1011
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: dude and yes, an incredible wine chugger when they won

1012
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 2: that that that's a Hall of Fame performance. He took

1013
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: that bottle of wine and put it in his all

1014
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: of it in his body, not the glass, but the act,

1015
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 2: the liquid. Yeah, that's fricking impressive stuff. Yeah. Yeah, Like

1016
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: as far as the NBA goes, you know, you know,

1017
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: it's quite questionable.

1018
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, it's not not not a diss to him.

1019
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 4: I mean it's like the numbers are good. He's a

1020
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 4: great defender. But obviously the Hall of Fame tends to

1021
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 4: look overlook a you know, defensive minded guys. A couple accolades, sure,

1022
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 4: but it's not going to allow you when you add

1023
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 4: the international play. The Gasol brothers are some of the

1024
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: greatest international BASKETBA players of all time period, both of

1025
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 4: them pals in. I mean, it had better NBA career

1026
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 4: than Mark in accolades and all that. But I was shocked.

1027
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 4: I put this poll up on no dunks. I thought

1028
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 4: it would be flipped up or down on Marcosol's Hall

1029
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 4: of Fame chances. Seventy five percent of people some up

1030
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 4: and you know a lot of people. I just in

1031
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 4: my I just thought people would have it the other

1032
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 4: way around. I'm happy to see that because people think, yeah,

1033
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 4: you include the international accolades.

1034
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: He's a shoein, so yeah, we'll see.

1035
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he should have got more defensive Player of

1036
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: the Year awards, just because it came around a little late.

1037
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: Zach Lowe was definitely going to vote him for the

1038
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame because he was the one who popularized

1039
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,919
Speaker 2: the way Mark Gasol was able to alter a defense. Dude,

1040
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 2: just to do everything to influence a defense. And so

1041
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 2: he only had one. He's only scored twelve thousand points

1042
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 2: in his career. He's not a point getter by any means.

1043
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: I was surprised by that, just because he felt like

1044
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 2: he was a twenty point game guy for a long time.

1045
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 2: But he wasn't. Surprisingly, But anyways, he brought a championship

1046
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: to Toronto, that is for sure.

1047
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 1: I wonder if a brother has ever inducted a brother

1048
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: into the Hall of Fame, because Pow will absolutely give

1049
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: the speech for Mark since he's already in. It's pretty

1050
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: cool if it happened, that's really cool.

1051
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. I can't think of anyone

1052
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: special moment when they have a.

1053
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: Question to Dick and talk to it. How Danny. I

1054
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: don't think Danny made the Hall of Fans though, Yeah, no,

1055
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

1056
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. The ball tipping at the All Star Game between

1057
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 2: the two of them, that was a pretty cool moment. Mark. Yeah,

1058
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 2: I wonder if he gets a little boost because Powe's

1059
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 2: in there. I guess for some reason.

1060
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 4: He's getting the no dunks boost, slash the starter's boost.

1061
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 4: We love Marcasol and it's obviously great guys, and we

1062
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 4: had the chance to have them on the show back

1063
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 4: over that All Star weekend, right, and Trey's do tweeted it.

1064
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 4: They were helping us move furniture around.

1065
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: The guys, good guys. The first time we rearranged here,

1066
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: we'll call him up. They got free time, he must

1067
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: move stuff. Well, we'll see pow at all star. He's

1068
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: happy to be coaching. But also, here's a call out

1069
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: to all the Internet out there. Once upon a time,

1070
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,479
Speaker 1: there was a picture of Marcasol sitting on a couch

1071
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: at an anthropology waiting for his wife who was shopping.

1072
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:56,959
Speaker 1: And I thought it was one of the greatest NBA

1073
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: pictures of all time, because I'm like, that is so relatable.

1074
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: Any man who has ever gone to an anthropology with

1075
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: a significant other has sat on the couch and just waited. Well,

1076
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,080

00:51:58,880 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: any minutes.

1126
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:04,560

00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 5: but little human wings they're big birds not doing ship.

1133
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 5: And you can't have the counts on your team. What

1134
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 5: too many bats flying around? You could never play in

1135
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 5: San Antonio. Coyota would be all over him snatching those

1136
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 5: bats out of the air.

1137
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 2: You sound like Oscar the Grouch. What's your team then?

1138
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, my team is all snuffle center. That's the only

1139
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 5: I have Grover too as a point guard. I have Bert,

1140
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 5: also sneakily athletic, and he's tall.

1141
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: Bert is the tall head one.

1142
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 2: He's tall head, single forehead.

1143
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 5: This might be a this might be a deep cut

1144
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 5: hairy monster, the blue monster, Like he's not the cookie

1145
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 5: not cookie monster, but he's just like you're going off

1146
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 5: board here, Sesame Street characters. And then this one is

1147
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 5: a really really deep cut. It's the cheese.

1148
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Okay, we're going to see a photo.

1149
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 5: Of the Yes, look at the look at the reach

1150
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 5: on this guy.

1151
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: God, you are old. Eh. This looks like from nineteen

1152
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: sixty eight or something.

1153
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, And he kind of floats. He doesn't have legs,

1154
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 5: but he floats around. And in this sketch it's called

1155
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 5: Chase the Cheese and not nobody can catch him. Nobody.

1156
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 2: It's like a how many arms.

1157
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 5: He's got one arm, but they're so like gangly that

1158
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 5: they just sort of like. But when he stretches him out,

1159
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 5: imagine the wingspan.

1160
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, that looks huge. I thought there was

1161
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: more than two arms on that cheese. Anyways, that's my start.

1162
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: Anybody want to chime in with a starting five of

1163
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: sesame streak.

1164
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm going big Bird at center. Yeah, he's lying around.

1165
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: I thought Oscar the Groage would be a good power forward.

1166
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: He's a garbage man. That's good cookie monster to me,

1167
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: small forward. I agree with that. Cookies that My back

1168
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: court's Burton Ernie, the new Steve Francis and Katino.

1169
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 5: I think it's good you have on the team. But

1170
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 5: do you remember the bench when Dwight Dwight Howard fart

1171
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 5: at that time, like cleared the bench his own bench.

1172
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 5: Dwight Howard fared Grover. It's not Grover. Oscar constantly fighting

1173
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 5: and he just stinks in general like he was guy.

1174
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, g Grover's being overlooked here. This is a big

1175
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 4: snub super Grover man. Yeah, wear that shirt, prime athlete guys.

1176
00:54:51,360 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: Wearing a Grover Jersey's totally absolutely he is freak. He's

1177
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: like this guy's like John Wall.

1178
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1179
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 5: He said he's also got a bit of a temper

1180
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 5: on him, and not a bad way, like when he's

1181
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 5: a waiter, like.

1182
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 1: Grover's got that dog and he's got that dog? Is

1183
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: he a dog? I don't even know what any of these.

1184
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 1: Obviously a bird.

1185
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,720
Speaker 4: Okay, I like Cookie, I like Cookie Monster. He's definitely

1186
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 4: playing the three or four and I gotta have.

1187
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: Bird at four or five. Yeah, I mean his dad's Larry.

1188
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: Dad's Larry. That's where he got it from. You can

1189
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 1: shoot ball family. Not a lot of people know that.

1190
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 2: Chris Anderson, so many, so many jokes.

1191
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 4: All right, man, Sesame Street starting five, who you're taking?

1192
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 4: Did NBA Peyton tweet that to stephen A.

1193
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: Smith?

1194
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, let's say yeah, because Stephen A is like

1195
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 4: being asked all these insane questions and.

1196
00:55:53,560 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: He's doing man with chars are over Blasthois And then

1197
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,399
Speaker 1: all of the Pokemon fans were like, that's a great call.

1198
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: You're actually right about that. He does. He's not as

1199
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: limited as Blastois and Venus Sore. That's good man. Steven A.

1200
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: Smith is going in his new beach step in podcast.

1201
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: But what a night for Twitter. I had some wins

1202
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: and some losses. Dead and Company announced at the sphere.

1203
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: Cannot wait? Yeah, and then I wake up this morning

1204
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 1: and see Lewis Hamilton is going to Ferrari. It's joke. Well,

1205
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if he wants to retire with the exact

1206
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: same amount of titles as Michael Schumacher, it's fine because

1207
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: he ain't winning another one with Ferrari. But I guess

1208
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: I'll be a Ferrari fan starting in twenty twenty five.

1209
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 2: Let's let's ask Stephen A. Smith what he thinks about that.

1210
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: That's a good tweet.

1211
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 2: Answer it. I didn't realize that he answered this sesame

1212
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 2: Street starting five, but he did. He's already started. He

1213
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 2: put up a video sixteen hours ago. I see him

1214
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 2: moving around like he's I guess snuffle up becaus I

1215
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 2: don't know. He's moving left to right, right to left.

1216
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 4: I thought there was a thing with snuffle Upicus that

1217
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 4: it's I guess it's not true, but like that only

1218
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 4: big bird saw him.

1219
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 5: That was what it was. When I was It was

1220
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 5: so frustrating as a kid as well.

1221
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: Right, so the no one else could go and see him.

1222
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 5: No, no, he well, that was the thing, like he

1223
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 5: would just sort of wander off when Big Bird was like,

1224
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 5: I was just talking to mister stuff a love like us,

1225
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 5: and he's like, looks behind it and he's gone, And

1226
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 5: it was like, okay, big Bird, whatever man is your

1227
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 5: imaginary friend, what's wrong with that? It was frustrating because
