That's what the NBA is talking about. 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: It would obviously be players limited staff. Do you think 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: the NBA can pull this off? Hey? Man? Atlanta has 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: never been shut down. You got a low number on COVID. 28 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: This is where you need to be. If the All 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: Star must go on, bring it to a condom a 30 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: t L. I'm ready. It's Monday, February one, and this 31 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: is what's burning. Jack, that's got stunned. Last night, Bill 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: in Westbrook scored six points in seven seconds to beat 33 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: them in a high score and shootout. Where were your 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: thoughts about last game? Hey? First of all, I knew 35 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: when Bill was jumping out that court with with a 36 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: good pace, I knew Bill was gonna hit that shot. 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: You know you can't on the road. You want to 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: hang in games like that. But you know what I'm saying. 39 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: You want you want you want to try to not 40 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: give them a chance to hit the last shot and 41 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: then they made a good player. Then you know, Harris 42 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: made a bad pass, a little bad communication between him 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: and Katie, but James Harden wasn't in this game. And 44 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: for me, I look at it like this, It's good 45 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: the Nets are losing these type of games even with 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: James Harden now now because when it comes down to 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: one that comes when when it comes down to when 48 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: it counts, they won't lose these games. So I'm looking 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: at the bigger picture. It's a good win for the Wizards, 50 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: but I'm glad it's also a good loss for the 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: Nets because they won't lose these games coming towards the 52 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: end of the season. Yeah, obviously you want these games 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: to happen earlier in the season. I just want to 54 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: see more consistently consistency with their big three, you know 55 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: what I mean. They're able to win when there's two 56 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: of them, Like, I just want to continue to see 57 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: those three be able to jail. Although this is early 58 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: and all three of those guys are really high up 59 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: there in minutes, so I understand they're taking nights off 60 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: and with that kind of talent, you can afford to 61 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: do it. Um, but their defense is horrendous right now. 62 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: I think team defense. Last night, giving a hop a 63 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: hundred forty nine points in a regular season game to 64 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: the worst team or record wise, so one of the 65 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: worst teams in the league. So I think that's definitely 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: something that needs to be addressed for this team. I 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: know they're looking for some more frontline help, but defense. 68 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: You know, this team could be as talented as they 69 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: want on offense, but if they're giving up just as 70 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: many points, it's gonna be a struggle all season. Big 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: win for Washington last night. It's been well documented that 72 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: deal is frustrated, but he's still going out there and 73 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: playing every night. Um. And another big thing too, is 74 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: westbrooksman injured. I know he has, He's had a bad quality, 75 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: has been struggling with the bad quad. He says he 76 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: feels better now. Jack canna win like this spark Um 77 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: the Wizards. Yeah, I mean it's it's a big win 78 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: for him. I noticed a game day that especially Russ 79 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: had on his calendar. You know, to play those guys, 80 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: but it has to build. They then have a lot 81 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: of work to do us for building that team, to 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: to make Bill want to stay, to make him happy. 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: You know, him and Russ can do that a lot 84 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: of nights and they still won't win. Um. Bill is 85 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: having a great year. And even if the Nets was 86 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: a bad defensive team, Bill has been scoring on everybody 87 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: like that. They can get a little bit a little 88 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: bit of help along with winning games like this, maybe 89 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: it could changed the season. Can Bill in Westbrook carry 90 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: this team? You know they got a lot of young 91 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: talent um Losing Thomas Bryant for the season was a 92 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: big blow to their team. But you know we're gonna 93 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: get from your stars not in night out. What are 94 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: you gonna consistently get from the rest of the team. 95 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: You know they're they're last in the East, and I 96 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: just wonder if they can use this as motivation to 97 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: to to get head in the right direction. Facts weekend wins. 98 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: Dame comes up big in Chicago, down five with just 99 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: under nine seconds ago, hits two clutch threes, one at 100 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: the buzzer off a jump ball to win the game, 101 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: finishes with forty four and nine. Big game Dame strikes again. 102 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? What a whole league is on 103 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: notice now? So when as Nurks went down, they knew 104 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: they was gonna see Super Dame. It's gonna be a 105 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: lot of game winners. It's gonna be a lot of 106 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: forty fifty point games, It's gonna be a lot of 107 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: pulling up from half court. The Dame has Dame has 108 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: to really step up, you know, with the big guy 109 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: out and Mello role, Mello Roll is gonna is gonna 110 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: step up too. So but Dame be ready to have 111 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: to see an MVP year from Dame. He really got 112 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: to step up to get this team in the playoffs. Yeah, 113 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: I mean, this team is at the seventh spot right now. 114 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: But it's a good son that he's able to keep 115 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: them afloat with CJ coming back, uh, you know in 116 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: a in a handful of weeks and Nurks coming back, 117 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: if they can stay within the race, what you know, 118 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: without without two of their stars when they come back, 119 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: they should be sitting good. So this is exciting, you know. Obviously, 120 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: Dame is one of the best players in the league. 121 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: Want to be most clutch, if not the most clutched 122 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: player in the league. And it's just beautiful to watch, 123 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, he does it the right way. 124 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: He doesn't talk. He just goes out there and plays 125 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: his ass off every night. And his big shots Rockets 126 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: with the fifth straight win. Waalen Oliver depot building some 127 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: strong chemistry and Christian Wood is back. Uh. You know 128 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: the rock has been playing well of late jack. What 129 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on their team and and their possibilities 130 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: of getting in the playoffs. But to me, they have 131 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. You know, they have an 132 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: All star point guard and John Wall. They have an 133 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: All Star to Guarden, Oladipo would could be an All 134 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: Star this year the way he playing, you and I 135 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: think he might make it. And we all know bookies 136 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: an All Star. This is a playoff team. To me, Matt, 137 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: they gotta right the right coach who's been around a 138 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: long time, very smart, and you have guys now on 139 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: this team that's buying in that want to play. This 140 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: team is a playoff team and I think this team 141 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: only can only get better. Barn injury, Yeah, I definitely 142 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: think this team will benefit from the seven and team 143 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: playing game and scare people. You know, along with the 144 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: guys you mentioned, you know also you know solid best 145 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: like p J. Tucker and Eric Gordon have been consistent 146 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: for them. So once they get their chemistry and get 147 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: a run with everyone healthy, Um excited to see what 148 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: they can do. Um. You know, the defense has been 149 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot better since James has left, and I think 150 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: these guys have a chip on their shoul. They're under 151 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: understanding the way the trade went down and left the 152 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: bad taste in people's mouth, and they're out here to 153 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: prove points and you know, so far they've been doing it. 154 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: So it's exciting to see them get the right footing, 155 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: especially for our brother coach Silas. Jimmy Butler returns to 156 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: the Heat with a very Jimmy Butler esque performance thirty points, 157 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: eight and seven. Although they're still reeling with injury. Jack Um. 158 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: We both said this team only goes as far as 159 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler will take them. Um, hopefully they can get healthy. 160 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts in Miami right now? Where they 161 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: staying in the Eastern Conference. They gotta get healthy. I 162 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: mean having Jimmy back is definitely a plus. You see, 163 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: they can have guys out and stand will stand with 164 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: games with with Jimmy. But when you look at the 165 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: long term picture, you need these guys to be healthy 166 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: to sheet. This season is not as long as it 167 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: normally is, so guys need to get healthy. They need 168 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: to get on the same page and start playing well. 169 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: You don't want to get to the bottom of these 170 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: a compass and then come to the playoffs playing with 171 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: these top seeds. So I think, I think these guys 172 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: need to get healthy. But having Jimmy back is definitely 173 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: a plus and definitely a step in the right direction. 174 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: They are missing some key guys that would definitely be 175 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: contributing this time. You know, go and drag it more, 176 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: a more heartless and avery Bradley. Um. But this team 177 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: goes as Jimmy goes. But this is gonna be another situation, 178 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 1: like we said with the last one, that the seventh 179 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: through ten could really benefit this team. You know they can. 180 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: They took a fifth seed to the finals last year, 181 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: um up sending some team. So Miami's goal is just 182 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: to get in and they felt like they've dealt with 183 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: the best of the best. They beat the best of 184 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: the best, so they just need to get in and 185 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: they can make something happen. But it's only gonna happen 186 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: if these guys you know, continue to get healthy and 187 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: they keep trying to push their way up to the 188 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: into contention.

A D proved to be 209 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the difference this weekend in the Lakers Celtic matchup seven 210 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: and fourteen. Back to attacking and being the unstoppable force 211 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: he is. For the Lakers to do what they want 212 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: to do, he has to be this person, you know, 213 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: a little less settling, more attacking and mixing it in. Uh, 214 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: he looked great. What are your thoughts about this weekend's game, man, Hey, 215 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: I said this a long time ago. A D is 216 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: Tim Duncan on steroids. A lot of Knights is gonna 217 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: be like this where you just can't do anything with him, 218 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: and uh, a lot of a lot of nights. He's 219 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: gonna be to the reason they won a lot of 220 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: games because you can't. You have no answer for him. 221 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: You can you can add uh Tatum and Brown to 222 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: to to exile Lebron, but you have nothing to exile 223 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. And he's gonna do this a lot of teams. 224 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: He's having a great year and one of the best 225 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: defenders in the game. Absolutely um Celtics. On the other hand, 226 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, Kimba has been struggling for a while. Marcus 227 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: Smart goes down with luckily only a calf string. He 228 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: should be back in a couple of weeks. Um Tatum 229 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: mcbrown one of the best young dudels in the game, 230 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: no question about that. Um. But they're gonna need Kimba 231 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: to step up, and they're gonna have to find that 232 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: big You know, I thought Tristan Thompson was gonna be 233 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: able to help fill that void as far as on 234 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: the defensive end. But you know, we're gonna have to 235 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: keep seeing if that's gonna work. You didn't believe that part, Huh, 236 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: not at all. In the week ahead, the Clippers at 237 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: sixteen and five of the best record in the league, 238 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: facing the Nets in the Celtics. UM. Clippers are playing 239 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: well and Tyler has these guys all on the same page, 240 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: Kauai and uh uh, Paul Georgia clicking. They got some depth. 241 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: Jack thoughts on the matchups come up this week, Man, 242 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: this is probably a great week for basketball because you're 243 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: seeing some duo matchups that we've all been on to see. 244 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: You see Paul George and Kawhi Lang against k D 245 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: and uh and James Harden and Currie. You can't naw Carrie. 246 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: There's nobody on the Clippers team. Can see Kyrie were 247 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: going to them two. We're gonna do what do what 248 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: do a matchups? Then you got the Celtics. Then you 249 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: got the Celtics. You got Kawhi Leonard and Paul Gearge 250 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: against Tatum and Brown. There's gonna be some good matchups. 251 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: You know, Kyie not in this and he not. We're 252 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: not talking about Kybe this week. We're talking about the 253 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: two and three guard matchups. And all these guys are 254 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: all stars, So it's gonna be great to see. It's 255 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna be some good basketball. I just love how the 256 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: Clippers are playing, and I think last year they were 257 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: picked up possibly win a championship. They're not used to 258 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: that kind of territory. There used to be an underdogs. 259 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: So they're back where they're at now. No one's talking 260 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: about them. Everyone is talking about him if anything, So 261 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: I think this is where they're more comfortable at. But 262 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: we all know, you know, great regular seasons don't matter 263 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: anymore for this team. It has to be done in 264 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But I just love the way they're playing 265 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: and I'm excited for them in the playoffs. They're definitely 266 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: gonna be scary. Also, this week, Celtics head out west. 267 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, they play the Clippers also Golden State. 268 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: We mentioned Marcus Smart is out for about two weeks 269 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: with the calf strain. We got the two young stars. Uh, 270 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big test for Kimba, you know, 271 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: obviously trying to get his footing back. We know that 272 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: he needs to be that consistent third option for men 273 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: to really do anything. How are how are the Celtics 274 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: coming into these matchups with these two teams on the 275 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: West Coast? It's gonna be hard, man because you know, 276 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: like you said, they're two stars, Tatum and Brown. We 277 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: know they're gonna come to play, but where's the supporting class, 278 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: Where's the supporting cast, where's the big man, where's the 279 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: rebounding you know, and like you said, Kimba has to 280 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: come in and be that third guy. He's not gonna 281 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,599 Speaker 1: be able to fulfill the defense and the rebounding, but 282 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: scoring Yakee Kimber was going to make big shots at 283 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: the right time. So they're definitely gonna need his offense 284 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: and his leadership. But a lot of those guys that's 285 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: on that bench that's coming in seven eight guys, y'all 286 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: gotta figure out to try to contribute to these guys 287 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: because your stars can only do so much. Well, I'm 288 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: just looking forward the stars, you, Like I said, obviously 289 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: we know moving forward they're gonna need that bench. But 290 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: I'm excited just to see these young guys continuing to 291 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: get better. Uh you know. To me, they're possibly the 292 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: best young tandem in the game and every not on 293 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: the floor. It's just beautiful to see how they work together. Man, 294 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: so bright future for them, But I agree the supporting 295 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: cast has to step up, and that starts with Kimba 296 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 1: Walker for this team to do what they're supposed to 297 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: do in the Eastern Conference. Continuing with the look at 298 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: the week ahead, we have the Lakers and Nuggets, two 299 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: of the best passing biggs in the game. I call 300 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: Lebron big just because he's big and we all know 301 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: he's a guard, but Joker top five in the league 302 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: and assists. Lebron has always been a great passer. These 303 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: guys get their teams going by the way they were 304 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: able to see the floor and get their team involved. 305 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about this playoff free match, Jack, 306 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: Like you said, it's it's some. It's gonna be some 307 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: nice passes. Joking Lebrons, you know, best pass in the game. 308 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: But Yoka has a little Marcus All in him, you know, 309 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: the way he uses the body, way he passes the ball. 310 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: But I love watching the matchup with Yoga Jannathity Davis, 311 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: two of the best in the game. Both of these 312 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: guys are trying to pick up and where they left 313 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: off last year eight A Championship Yokers came up a 314 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: little short, but this matchup is always what I want 315 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: to see. But after the Davids is just different. Man, 316 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: He's just different. He's a monster. Obviously, Denver's hot, winning 317 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: seven of ten. And you know, the matchup I'm kind 318 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: of looking for is not one that's probably gonna be 319 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: talked about too much. But the Michael Porter and Kyle 320 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: Kuzman matchup. I think Michael Porter is gonna be a 321 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: star in this league. He was out for a while, 322 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: came back boys a gunner. Kuzma was a gunner, And 323 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: like I said, I don't think it's a matchup that's 324 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna be talked about a lot, but I know both 325 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: these guys are looking forward to it, so that's also 326 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. So this should be a good matchup 327 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: for us to enjoy. Also, this week, the Warriors get 328 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: to face they struggling Dallas Maverick team. I think we 329 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: all had high expectations for this team, especially after what 330 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: they did in the bubble, and they just haven't been 331 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: able to live up to it. Uh They've lost five straight, 332 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: eight out of ten, while the Warriors are steadily improving. 333 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: Jack thoughts on this matchup. Warriors have vets, they have 334 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: champions they have a championship coaching staff, They know how 335 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: to get through stuff when it when it's tough, haven't 336 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: played down, they can figure out, and they still can 337 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. So you never count the Warriors out. 338 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: You just gotta watch them. But on the flip side, 339 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: the MAVs this why we don't really listen to people 340 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: will never play basketball because everybody come and talk about 341 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a great season, Luca's gonna win m 342 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: VP and they might fight for the Western Cofference Championship. 343 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: Who how could you think that as possible with the 344 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: same team. Luca needs help. You can't expect Luca to 345 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: do it all by himself. The Unicorn can't stay healthy. 346 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't really have a good roster coming off the bench. 347 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: You have a great coach of Rid call Loud, but 348 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: Luca needs a lot more help. And I knew that 349 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: coming to the season. Luca is gonna be great. He's 350 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: gonna dominate, he's gonna give million triple doubles. But winning 351 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: I didn't see that happening, um Jack. I was one 352 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: of those people that thought the Mavericks trinally to be 353 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: good and Luca might win the championship. I mean, excuse me, 354 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: win m v P. I didn't think they didn't make 355 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: it up. I didn't think they'd make it out of 356 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: the West by any means. But I definitely thought coming 357 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: off what we saw last year, that you know, Luca 358 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be able to step up. He was odds 359 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: on favor to win m VP. But a lot comes 360 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: with that. You know, the whole game plan is to 361 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: stop Luca because there hasn't had much help this year. 362 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: So when it's when you only have the game for 363 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: really one main star, it's gonna make his life miserable. 364 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: So he's still be able to put up the numbers, 365 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: they're not able to get the wins. Um if they 366 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: can turn this season around, I don't really know offenses nineteen, 367 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: defense is twenty one. Uh. It's just not looking good. 368 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: But I agree they need to make some changes, uh 369 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: and keep Porzingi is healthy and that's the only chance 370 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: they possibly have it right now. It's not looking good, 371 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: and you know the Warriors are old and steady. Like 372 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: you said, I think you made a great point championship pedigree. 373 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: Knowing how to weather the storm, that's something Dallas has 374 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: never been through. The Warriors have been here before. So 375 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: you're predicting what two and oh for the Warriors this 376 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: week against him? I give him a split, Lucas. That 377 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: good to get a split, Okay, got you next segment. 378 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: Knowing your role Jack, something we figured out and we're 379 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: able to play a long time in the league. Uh. 380 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: These next guys have done that perfectly to a t 381 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: this year, starting with Clint Capella was injured early, but 382 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: now he's at nearly fourteen points and fifteen rebounds a game, 383 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: adding almost two and a half blocks per game. He's 384 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: found his rolling down Atlanta and it's gonna be big 385 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: for them. I think if they can keep him healthy 386 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: and get everyone else on the team healthy. Yeah, I 387 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: think his role and the responsibility that was on him 388 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: in Houston was too big for him. He wasn't ready 389 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: for it. Yeah, he was able to catch up out 390 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: of lives and get a lot of rebounds there, but 391 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: just the pressure on him having a win with with James, 392 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: it was too much for him. He's in Atlanta now, 393 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: he's back to playing free basketball. He's doing what he 394 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: do well, rebound and catch lives, and he's getting a 395 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: lot of libs from from Trey Young. So this is 396 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: a better fit for him. He's with him, he's with 397 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: guys his age, and he's with a younger team that's 398 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: on the rise. I think it's a better fit for him. Yeah. 399 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: I like the outlook for Atlanta in the next couple 400 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: of years. They got a good young core um, so 401 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what they can do in the future. 402 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: Next up Seth Curry, who's been a perfect fit in 403 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,239 Speaker 1: Philly with his father in law, Doc Rivers. He's at 404 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: about fourteen points a game from the field and from 405 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: the three point line. He's been that consistent, although struggled 406 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: a little bit late. I expect him to find his footing, 407 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: but he's been perfect with to help Ben Simmons out 408 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: a lot because He's someone that stretches the floor. They 409 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: definitely needed shooting with the William beat has been playing. Uh, 410 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: Seth has found a nice little role over here in Philly. Yeah, 411 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: I think Dallas that's what Dallas is missing. Dallas is 412 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: definitely missing him now, but not Ben Simmons, not shooting 413 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: and not having J. J. Riddick. This is the guy 414 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: you need. He can create his own shot. He can 415 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: He's a he's a knockdown shooter. He can do everything. 416 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: And he's a tough He's a tough kid. You know 417 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: he'll get he'll get out there and scrap on defense 418 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: as well. And like you said, we're having Joel and 419 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: b you need a guy like him. He's at home, 420 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: like he said, he's with his father in law. You 421 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: couldn't act for a better situation. Yeah. No, definitely great fit. 422 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: Uh scrappy too. I like that you mentioned that because 423 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: you know he he kind of had to get it 424 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: out the mud low key. You know, step was obviously 425 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: highly acclaimed. It took Seth the while to find his 426 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: footing and I think he has that chip on his 427 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: shoulder and that definitely helps him both in the floor. 428 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: So I love to fit there in Philly and they're 429 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: looking continue to see him do his thing out there. Last, 430 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: but not least, someone who's flowing under the radar has 431 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: been very steady Sergey Baka averaging nearly twelve and a 432 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: half a game, seven rebounds, a block and a half, 433 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: shooting two from the field. He is a perfect compliment 434 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: to the Clippers two superstars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, 435 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: a big reason why they're having a great start. Man 436 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: Sergeon Baker is one of those guys who he can 437 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: fit on almost any team because he's a great defender. 438 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: I called him Surgery Blocker because he's gonna he's gonna 439 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: block a lot of shots. He's gonna protect the basket, 440 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: and he's gonna stretch the offense. He could shoot threes 441 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: mid range. Surgeon is bringing a lot of toughness. Did 442 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: this to this team that they lost when they lost 443 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: Montres Horrell. So I'm glad they got him and he's 444 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: gonna be He's gonna be a big piece of this 445 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: puzzle going for Yeah, absolutely consummate pro, you know, super 446 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: vet and he's found a nice little spotting here in 447 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: their life. So only another piece to make them stronger. 448 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Like Clippers are gonna be scary this year. Let's not 449 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: talk about any kind of championship. Let's just talk about 450 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: steady improvement and see what happens when when when when 451 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: the real lights are on? And I and I remember 452 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: Sirs telling me when I played, and this is why 453 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: I was. I got respect with thirds. He's like, yeah, 454 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: y'all talk all that stuff, but I'm a real rebel. 455 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, yeah, I believe that coming from the Congo, 456 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: I believe that Super Bowl fifty five this weekend, Jack Sunday, 457 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: legendary matchup, Goat versus the Baby Goat Bucks first Chiefs. 458 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: Who do you got? It's always hard to go against 459 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, but I'm going for the young Buck. You know, 460 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: I want to I want to see him and go 461 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: back to back. Um, he's he's he's changed the game 462 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: of football for quarterbacks, for black quarterbacks. And uh, I'm 463 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: just some my homes fan, man. I'm we had we 464 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: had Kelsey on the show, and from having him on 465 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: the show, you know, I became a fan of Kelsey. 466 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: So I'm really pushing for those two guys. Super Bowl 467 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: MVP last year, Um, I see him repeating again this year. Um, 468 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: that Kelsey my Homes connection is lethal. Then also you 469 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: throw in Tyreek Hill as well. Um, this is a 470 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: scary team, man, so it's gonna be a fun game. Jack. 471 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: This could possibly be a passing of the torch. You know, 472 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady is getting up there, forty three years old, 473 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: still elevan to get his team to the super Bowl. 474 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: My Homes is young. They're looking for back to back championships. 475 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: This could possibly be a passing of the torch. Thoughts 476 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: on that, Uh, this this the way it has to go. 477 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: Even though Mahomes is the is the return of Super 478 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: Bowl champion and Super Bow m VP, he still is 479 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: deep thrown in Tom Brady in this game. You know, 480 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: bye byby coming back to back and and knocking Brady 481 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: off this throwne of being the goat and the best 482 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. Uh, Tom has done something amazing. 483 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: Bringing the Buccaneers to the super Bowl is amazing. A 484 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks couldn't even think about doing that. But 485 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: it's my homes time, my homeboy, I'm rolling with him. 486 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: M hm. Now I wouldn't be surprised if they find 487 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: a way. Obviously, Tampa Bay. I'm saying to do what 488 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: they do. You know, anytime you have Brady Mike Evans, 489 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: he has a lot of weapons around him. The first 490 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: time in a long time, gronk Uh you know, hasn't 491 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: been thrown too much, became up big in the Championship 492 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: NFC Championship games. So it's gonna be a great matchup 493 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Winding down with 494 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: quick hitters. Jack John Moran is back. He's been back 495 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: three straight wins, two of those have been double doubles 496 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 1: for him. Hats off for the Grillies for being able 497 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: to stay afloat while he's out and Jackson is out 498 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: there right in the middle of the pack still and 499 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: looking to catch this rhythm and climb up. Thoughts on 500 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: the young Memphis team and and the fact that Marant 501 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: is back and hasn't missed a beat. Well, having a 502 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: young team, having a lot of players that haven't really 503 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: been around a lot, You've gotta give a lot of 504 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: credit to this coach to keep these guys in tune 505 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: to what's going on, to keep these guys focused and 506 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: going out there and compete without their stars. Now you 507 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: have one of your stars back. Now you're starting to win, 508 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: So you gotta give a lot of credit to this 509 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: coach with John Moran is a guy you must have, 510 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, explosive, one of the most supposed to guards 511 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: in the league. I'm a big fan of him and 512 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: I want to see him on the court. And when 513 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: you got guys like that on the court, you able 514 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: to win games. Yes, Maran is definitely much washed TV 515 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: with his energy, But like I said, shout out to 516 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: the guys that kept the float while the stars were down. 517 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: And looking forward to Jaren Jackson coming back, We're not 518 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: sure when that's gonna be, but once he is and 519 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: this team has, you know, a full roster, it's gonna 520 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: be fun to see what they can do in that West, 521 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: because the West is tough. Jack This Jason Tatum and 522 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown duo, as I mentioned earlier in the show, 523 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: probably is the best young duo in the game. Uh. 524 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: For those diehard Celtics fans, it kind of reminds me 525 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: of the one two punch that Paul Pierce and Antoid 526 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: Walker used to bring. These guys are on a whole 527 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: a nother love right now. They're playing out of their minds. 528 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: Jaden Browns the twenty seven points a game. Tatum is 529 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: a twenty six point eight. The sky is the limit 530 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: for these two, yeah, man, but they still need some help. 531 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: We like you said, these two kids are great. We 532 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: we don't even need to talk about how great these 533 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: kids can be. You know, Dan and did a great 534 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: job of having patience with him keeping these young guys together. 535 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: And they can have to be the one two punch 536 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: to bring out a championship back to Boston. But they're 537 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: still gonna need some help. But these two guys, man 538 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: are special. You know. I'm like I said, I'm glad 539 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: Dan Age kept them together. This is this is musty 540 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: basketball every time they're on TV. Absolutely love the Celtics. 541 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: Love their young duo. Obviously, with Tatum being an All 542 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: Star before, he should be an All Star again and 543 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: Jadon Brown should definitely be a first time All Star 544 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: this year. He's playing out of his mind. He's been overlooked. 545 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: Um if he doesn't get voted in, the coach has 546 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,719 Speaker 1: definitely got to do their do their job and make 547 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: sure they put him in the game because this kid 548 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: has been playing out of his mind. All Star Game 549 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Jack, I know you're out there right now. 550 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: That's what the NBA is talking about. It would obviously 551 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: be players limited staff. Uh do you think the NBA 552 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: can pull this off? Hey? Man, Atlanta has never been 553 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: shut down. Yeah, don't give a fun You got a 554 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: low number on COVID. This is where you need to be. 555 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: You know, I think that the city has been open, 556 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: we haven't shut down. You know, I've been out a 557 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: couple of times and I've been safe. So if the 558 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: All Star must go on, bring it to a Kando 559 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: a t L. I'm ready. Hey. I mean, these guys 560 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: are gonna be a lockdown if this actually happened, they 561 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: won't get to visit anything you're talking about right there, 562 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: the hotel the whole time. But you know, like I 563 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: said with with safety first, I would love to see it. 564 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: I think one because the games have been so competitive 565 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: of late. And then I know Chris Paul is trying 566 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: to get the proceeds to help HBC use and some 567 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: other causes. So I think the cause would be great, 568 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: the games would be great. Um, if safety can be upheld, 569 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: I think it needs to happen. Um Off the top, Jack, 570 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: let me get your your five Eastern Conference starters off 571 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: the top of your head. Five Eastern Conference starters, Wow, Kyrie, 572 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: Joellen b Greek Free, k D and Bradley Bill. Oh 573 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: you snug bal in there. I got k D, I 574 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: got Embad, I got Bradley Beal, I got Janice, and 575 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: I got Tatum. So we just off Tatum and Kyrie. Yeah, 576 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: we switched them out. Western Conference. Who you got, Ah, 577 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: I got Paul yards Kawhi, Leonard Lebron, James, Anthony Davis. 578 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: And I'll have to throw dam in there. Oh. All 579 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna switch Damon Steff. 580 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Steph in there. But you know, the 581 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: Lakers and Clippers will hold down on the first four 582 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: and then we just rotated guards. So that's all we did. 583 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: Last thing too is like I said, I hope they 584 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: get a chance to see this. Like I said, the 585 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: games have been very competitive. It's gonna be for a 586 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: great call. So normally when the NBA wants to do something, 587 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: they make it happen. So I'm looking forward to that, uh, 588 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: that All Star Game in March. I might have to 589 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: come out there and with you, yes, sir well Jack. 590 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: Today is the first day of Black History Month and 591 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: there's snow all over the East coast. Tell me what 592 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: Black History Month means to you, Um, this month means 593 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: a lot, but it depends on what's history is being 594 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,239 Speaker 1: taught him. I think it should be long. It's no rate, 595 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: no reason that our history should be only a month. 596 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: Should be rep in at our respected are praised only 597 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: in a month when we do so much and we've 598 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: done so much. So I'm not really hug up on 599 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: Black History Month because I praise and honor our people 600 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: all year around. So but it's good. It's good to 601 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: big knowledge. Is good to see NBA uh stand up 602 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: and really make a statement doing this month. But it 603 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: should be all year round thing. Yeah, I mean you 604 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: said exactly what I was gonna say. This is something 605 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: that shouldn't only be a month. But I'm just gonna 606 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: pivot to the to the NBA. The NBA has definitely 607 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: trying to do their part in honoring this month. Uh. 608 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: They do a great job, you know with alternate uniform shoes, messaging, donating, 609 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: so uh, big fan of what they're doing. But I 610 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: completely agree. But you know, I think the world is 611 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: shifting right now. Yeah. See, I think we're gonna start 612 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: being honored a little bit more than just in the 613 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: month of February. I think we're gonna be starting being 614 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: honored year around, like the rest of the world is honored, 615 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: and I think that would be a beautiful thing.
