Speaker 3: Look at the pace task Mellus and all of those

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: wedgies they came within I want to say it was

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: like a half hour of each other. Three of them

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: came like right away, bang bang bang. It was tough

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: to keep up, but then we had that. Kyrie went

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: a little bit later. There was another one in the

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: uh Rockets Blazers game, but it came right after the

36
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: buzzer was called at the end of the third quarter.

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: We couldn't count it.

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: But wow, with so many wedgies, everybody talks about points

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: being up this season, weggies shall be up as well.

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 2: The record that we've tracked over the last decade fifty eight.

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Two of the last three years we've had fifty eight.

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: One was in a shorter type of season, which is

43
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: a little bit.

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: Counting the playoffs of course, yeah, we do, we do

45
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: because that's as.

46
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: Those are games we used to get exited from fifty man, yeah,

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: fifty nothing now nothing now.

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: Sixties to fifty sixty fifty hours driving.

49
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we hit us of the year.

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: Wow, that was that was fun?

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: All right.

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 3: We got a new segment here on today's show. It's

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: called the What Scale. That's right, the what Scale you

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: guys are going to react to how shocked or surprised

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: you were to a particular gamer achievement from last night,

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: using the ferries sophisticated scale of what's what do I

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: mean by that? Well, if you're mildly surprised, that's a

58
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: that's maybe a tiny what almost like a hmm wow,

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: you know, like a like a I didn't know that.

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: Or maybe you're absolutely flabbergasted. You're dropping probably five little

61
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: John Worthy type whats to uh obviously illustrate how shocked

62
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: or surprised you were. Okay, it's pretty straightforward. First one,

63
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: how many whats are you dropping? Between one and five?

64
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 3: On the Hawks Cacka rallying from a thirty point deficit

65
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: to defeat the Boston Celtics. It was here in Atlanta,

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: Boston was rolling. Yes, Hawks were down thirty. Yes, and

67
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: they come back and win this game in regulation? How

68
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: many what's tasks?

69
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: I didn't know the number was more required. I thought

70
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: it was the type of what okay, the little John

71
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: I think is fitting, whether it's five or whether it's just.

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: A what one big one?

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a surprise surprise the Celtics because they

74
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: were up thirty and then they they let the foot

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: off the panel there time. Yeah, they were up. They

76
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: had their fans, a lot of them here in Atlanta

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: cheering for them. Let's be quite honest, and this is

78
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: the biggest comeback in Atlanta Hawk's history. Just so, just

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: like that, the Celtics fans cheering them on, They went

80
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: into the locker room, they chilled out, and then the

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: third quarter the Hawks went on that run. It was

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: a nineteen four run. He had Vat Crachy beat Vat

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,559
Speaker 2: Let's do this thing fast, thirteen points in the quarter

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: for himself. They had a little Boozy Rapper, little Boozy

85
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: who was watching court side, get down, lie down. They're

86
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: literally lie down and fall down because he was he

87
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: was saying, what what is happening here? Maybe things were

88
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: a little boozy for a lot of people in the

89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: stands there, everybody was partying. Is bog down. Bogdanovic was

90
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: going off, brutal, Fernando was going off. Everybody was going off.

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: And then early on in the fourth quarter, the Hawks

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: finally took a lead when Wesley Matthews gave them the lead.

93
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: Trey Young off the bench. You gotta like the bow

94
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: and arrow out the arrow from his back. That's the

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: Wesley Matthews cheer. You don't really see Wesley Matthews this season,

96
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: you don't.

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: It's true.

98
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: He hasn't played a lot the three to bring them forward,

99
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: and they did it the rest of the way. DeAndre

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: Hunter sealed it there at the end. This was astonishing.

101
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: This was just it's it's it's surprising. Yes, that second

102
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: half was very surprising.

103
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: Five what's for sure? Or one big little John what?

104
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: However you want to determine it when.

105
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: I also judged mine by quality of what's okay? I

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: want little John what as well? And I'm giving DeAndre

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Hunter the what what shot of the year? Yeah, taking

108
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: the three off an offensive rebound. There's what maybe like

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: seven seconds left when he shot it. Hawks were up.

110
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: Didn't need to shoot it at all, but he caught it,

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: shot it right in rhythm like he was Robert or

112
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: back in the day, knocked it down game over. Yeah,

113
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: beat was going crazy last night. That was fun to watch.

114
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: They got a college park shot out after the game.

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: The defensive incubator coach Ryan Schmidt down there. We loved

116
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: this guy. So nice to see Veat playing well. Great

117
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: stuff for like all of these random Hawks role players

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: like Garrison Matthews, big shots like you mentioned Wes Matthews

119
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: was playing and playing some really solid defense. But what

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: comes back to for me is that the Celtics like

121
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: can't lose a normal game. You know, they had an

122
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: eleven game win streak, then they blew a lead against

123
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers in that twelfth game. They came into

124
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: this one with a nine game win streak, blew a

125
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: thirty point lead against the Hawks. They were just not

126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: nearly as deliberate in the second half trying to get

127
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: good offense. Only four assists for the Celtics in the

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: second half. They had seventeen in the first half. And

129
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: though there was a huge run in the third, I

130
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: thought it started at the end of halftime. It's like

131
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: a nine to zero run for the Hawks, where they

132
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of swung the momentum in their favor, and once

133
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: it was in their favor, the Celtics just couldn't really

134
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: get it back. So you know, this team is dominating.

135
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: They have literally nothing to play for right now. So

136
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: a bummer loss, but no big deal.

137
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: Though.

138
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I did not like Jalen Brown dribbling literally twenty three

139
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: times on.

140
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: The last session.

141
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one could have sped it up a little.

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 3: That was rough. Yeah, that was you know, de Jonte

143
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: Murray had put the Hawks ahead and then yeah, that's

144
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: what the Celtics were coming up with.

145
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: There's Celtic thing a little bit. Yeah, with those huge possessions,

146
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: Ye don't start it early enough, yeah, or.

147
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and have Tatum dribble the hell out of the ball.

148
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: This one was Brown dribbling and just getting nowhere was

149
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: this Clint Capella's best game this season? That was like

150
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: configurated last night, Like that was a huge rebound to

151
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: kick it out to Hunter who again maybe maybe shouldn't

152
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: have shot it, but it was in rhythm and you'll

153
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 3: love the two for a dollar their TK, but that

154
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: was a big board. I just thought he was like

155
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: playing with energy last night and he has looked like,

156
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: you know, there's injuries and he's in and out of

157
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 3: the lineup at times. But that was like, oh yeah, Cappella,

158
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: when he's locked in, he can be a bit of

159
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: a game changer at the five. But good call. On

160
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: the end of the second quarter where the Hawks got

161
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: to sore to get back in the game, Celtics were

162
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: like throwing the ball away on inbounds like after a score,

163
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: like Porzing has just chucked it away once and Jan

164
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: Brown wasn't ready and like the Hawks scored off of that.

165
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: It was like sloppy, Like, yeah, they're up huge, you

166
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: get it. Like, I don't think people are freaking out

167
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,239
Speaker 3: here really today. And Celtings are gonna win maybe sixty

168
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 3: five games and be like well clear of the number

169
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: two seed in the entire NBA. But when they lose,

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: they generally give up big ridiculous. That's ridiculous. They've had

171
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: fifteen games where they've lost all season. They've blown double

172
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: digit leads in more than half of those. That's cool,

173
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: you know, and like, look, an eleven point blown lead

174
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: is a lot different than a thirty point blown lead.

175
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: That's only happened ten times now in NBA history a

176
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: team that was up thirty went on to lose the game.

177
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: So this is very very rare, because does all happen

178
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: to the Celtics this year?

179
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no, not all of.

180
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: Them to the Celtics. The biggest ever, Sam Quinn at

181
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: CBS Sports still biggest blown lead, go ahead, Sacramento King

182
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls. Well, I have it here as the ninety

183
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: six ninety seven Nuggets allowed the Jazz to turn a

184
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: thirty six point deficit into a four point victory.

185
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Interesting.

186
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a big one according to Sam Quinn there

187
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 3: but thirty pretty damn close.

188
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: To Carl and John. They were doing it.

189
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: I was happy I stopped from tweeting last night. I

190
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: almost tweeted, thank god I didn't go down to this

191
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: game when they were up thirty. As I thought about it,

192
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: I was like, ah, like you said, Boston fans are

193
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: always out there in the Fortress, some good energy in

194
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: the building. And I almost tweeted it. I want to

195
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: come back to bite me in the ass because I

196
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 3: should have went.

197
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I want to come back. I had the same on

198
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: my calendar. I was going, but then we're having family

199
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: come in town, so I'm going Thursday, they played the

200
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: Celtics again.

201
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: That's right.

202
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: Oh, I have a feeling this one is going to

203
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: be the other way. I think the Celtics will come

204
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: out and blow them out on Thursday, and it'll be

205
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: a boring game for me.

206
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: The Celtics, I believe, are just staying here in Atlanta.

207
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: I think they, like you said they bety Man, they

208
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 3: play here on Thursday. But the Hawks play another team

209
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: in between these games, which is a little weird. I

210
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: think that maybe the Hawks play tonight or Wednesday. One

211
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: of them will be a back back situation.

212
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, just strange, sneezing like crazy. One take them down, man,

213
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I look good with their green jerseys.

214
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: That's right. Okay, So a lot of big what or

215
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: many whats on that? On the what's scale? There next

216
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: one Sun suffer unacceptable loss. Those are Frank Vogel's words

217
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: versus the wembeless Suns. Excuse me, Spurs, the wembuless Spurs.

218
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: That makes more sense. Suns losing to San Antonio one

219
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: to five. What's how many you going here?

220
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: I solid? Three watts?

221
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: Okay.

222
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: The Sons have lost three or four games versus the

223
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: Spurs this season, and I think it does feel like

224
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: that time of year where a lot of teams have

225
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing to lose, and they gained confidence by teams

226
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: that don't put the foot on the pedal, and that's

227
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: what happened in this game. They got more confident. You

228
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: saw Jeremy Sohan out there twenty six points, a career

229
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: high eighteen boards and hit the three to really seal

230
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: it at the end of this game when he hasn't

231
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: had an incredible season shooting the ball, but a lot

232
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: of this shots were open. And the Phoenix Suns, they're

233
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: a pretty good team against plus five hundred teams and

234
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: that's good for them because going into the last stretch,

235
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: your last ten games, they've got the toughest schedule, oh

236
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: anybody out there. The average of their opponent six eight,

237
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: six forty eight. Excuse me, Their strength is strength. Schedules

238
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: is tough. That being said, I think they're gonna get

239
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: up for it a little bit. And I know that's

240
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: just it's an easy excuse here against the San Antonio Spurs.

241
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: I'm giving them excuse. You see it. We're gonna We're

242
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: gonna get to a lot of games where NBA team

243
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: just they weren't ready last night, and unfortunately it was

244
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: extremely weird. Unfortunately, they had a couple of injuries that

245
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: that obviously is more important down the stretch. Here U

246
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: Snirkish left this game with a sprain ankle. They need

247
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: that guy going down the stretch. And Bill left the

248
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: game with a hurt right ring finger got a cut

249
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: in a jersey, although he should be back. But the

250
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: Nurkish one, I'm a little concerned about the Suns. It's

251
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: it's a tough stretch and where they are in the

252
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: standings is really important. But three or four to the Spurs,

253
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: that says something to me about the Phoenix Suns and

254
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: vocals right, they gave it up. They didn't play hard enough.

255
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: What do you think how many what's I would go

256
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: probably three watts as well. But this is the reason

257
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: the Suns are in the eighth seed because they don't

258
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: get up for games against lesser opponents. We've been talking

259
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: about the Pelicans so much lately. They're up and fourth

260
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: because they see a bad team on the schedule and

261
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: they're up by twenty halftime and they're able to hang

262
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: on to it afterwards. That being said, Suns still almost

263
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: stole this one because the Spurs were going crazy. I

264
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: thought in the last five minutes, san Antonio went two

265
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: for eight from the field, missed two free throws, and

266
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: had two turnovers. Then Kevin Durant and Devin Booker both

267
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: had a chance to win it for Phoenix. You're guessing,

268
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: like in the grand scheme of things, then when it

269
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: comes down to a game winning three pointer, Katie and

270
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Booker are going to hit him and Jeremy Sohan isn't.

271
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: But that's not how it went last night. I was

272
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: saying a big time what helping off Sohan on the three?

273
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: He was zero for six from three up to that point.

274
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: But the clock was tough ticking down on Devin Vessel.

275
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: He would have had to get up a tough mid

276
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: range jumper, which you're probably living with. But Royce O'Neil

277
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: came down, I thought way too early to cut him

278
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: off at the nail, easy three for Sohn, who had

279
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: the confidence because they'd been playing well the entire night.

280
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, this loss could very likely come back to bite

281
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: them in the ass. Maybe forward here in the playoff

282
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: standings like this could keep them here in a play

283
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: in position, the Suns instead of maybe a six seed

284
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 3: with some of the other results from last night, and yeah,

285
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 3: even just the three losses to San Antonio. Let's make

286
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: that very clear. They've lost three times to the Spurs,

287
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: who are one of the worst teams in the league. Brutal,

288
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: brutal stuff. And it's even made worse with all those

289
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 3: injuries to some of their main guys. That was bad.

290
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: I think you guys are in the right spot there.

291
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: Three to four. What's just because there were so much

292
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: of these type of weird like what they lost to

293
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: who and how and ugh? But does you see the

294
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: Suns like this and it's like I want to get

295
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: you know, I want to get excited for them in

296
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: a potential playoff series, and we've talked about them maybe

297
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: being the best matchup against the Nuggets if they were

298
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: to run into them. But then you get these performances

299
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 3: where they just like, don't give a damn for way

300
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: too long and it's tough to take them seriously at

301
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: least this season. Maybe they'll prove me wrong. Hopefully they do,

302
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: but brutal, brutal loss. Moving on to an achievement, last night,

303
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: Demonte Sabonis sets the post double double streak in a

304
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: King's win. Did this against Philly. He now stands alone

305
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: with the longest streak of double doubles since the NBA

306
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: ABA merger in seventy six seventy seven. He's got fifty

307
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: four of these straight. How many what's TK does this deserve?

308
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm going Noriega, super thug?

309
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: What what?

310
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: What? What? What? What? He's gotta say what at least

311
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: fifty three times in that I imagine.

312
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: Right, probably probably more more.

313
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: He repeats it quite a few times and the chorus,

314
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I mean Demonta Saboni's doing Moses Malone numbers.

315
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Come on, that's pretty cool. Anytime you're on the boards

316
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: with like a Moses or a Wilt Chamberlain, you're living

317
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: the life. This was an easy one, I thought. For

318
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: some bonus, he had yet another triple double, his twenty

319
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: fifth of the season, which also leads the league. He

320
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: was going up against Mobamba and Paul Reid, so easy

321
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: boarding for Sabonis. I looked it up. He did have

322
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: an eight rebound game in January, but guess what, he

323
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: had thirteen sis in that game, so he was able

324
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: to technically extend the streak. Because it doesn't matter what

325
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: those doubles are doubling.

326
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: I was so confused by that when I saw that

327
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: eight rebound game.

328
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: To do this.

329
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: He hasn't had a lack of a double double since November.

330
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: Hold on a second, all these stat people are just

331
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: looking over that one. But no, it was true. It

332
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: was a thirteen assist game. It's nice to give this

333
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: guy a little bit of respect.

334
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: This guy.

335
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: For Marcus, Yeah, classic classic hand for Marcus. It was awesome.

336
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: It was awesome for Kevin Love to be on Twitter

337
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: and appreciate the mantas Sabonis because this guy is a

338
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: little bit underappreciated. Guilty for me as well. Last year

339
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: was it last year? It was two years ago when

340
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: they made the trade Dematus for Tyrese Haliburton. I thought

341
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: the Pacers did it. They absolutely did it. But Demantis

342
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: has been great, and I know people give him give

343
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: him a little guff because of what happened in the

344
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: playoffs against Kevon Looney in that series. I guess it

345
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: was last season, am I right? The last season was,

346
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: but they didn't make the playoffs. Last year was the

347
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: only playoffs, right? Anyway? They all just blend together. But

348
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: Tamantha Savonis derveden All Star appearance there is no doubt. God, yeah,

349
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: is damn good. He just doesn't get the recognition and

350
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: a little bit of a little bit of juicy recognition.

351
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: Only three centers have recorded twenty five triple doubles in

352
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: a season. Yeah, it's Wilt, mister MVP that season, Jokic

353
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: and now Demanta Savonis. This cool stuff, very cool stuff

354
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 2: for him.

355
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: He's averaging twenty points per game, thirteen point seven boards,

356
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: and eight point three assists for the season. He's on

357
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: pace to join Wilt as the only players to have

358
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: those numbers twenty, thirteen and eight. You know, it's a

359
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: lot of rebounds, a little more than maybe Yokic had

360
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: in his dominant years there and continues to have in

361
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: his dominant years. That's insane. It's absolutely overlooked.

362
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: It is.

363
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: It's because he's in Sacramento. It's because he's you know,

364
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: sort of this quiet, sort of humble superstar. You know,

365
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: this is just like sort of workman like stuff here.

366
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: It's just just go out there and give me twenty

367
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: and thirteen every night. But I love the playmaking. You know,

368
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: we talk about it when we talk about him, he's

369
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: he's awesome and to be now, you know, joining that

370
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: list of guys that have only done this longer than Sabonis,

371
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: and this is pre merger. It's Will Chamberlain who did

372
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: it seven times. It's Elvin Hayes who did it twice.

373
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 3: It's Elgin Baylor, and it's Will Bellamy. And now Sabonis

374
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: getting up to that streak, and I don't see why

375
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 3: it won't continue. Barring some injury that knocks him out

376
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: of a game early here, what could he get it

377
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: up to. It's obviously into the sixties. I guess if

378
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: he plays on And that's another part. It's like he's

379
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 3: an iron man, Yeah, and he plays through injuries and

380
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: he and he's always out there putting up these numbers.

381
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: So you know you got to respect that as well. So, uh, noriego,

382
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 3: what I hadn't thought about that song in a long time.

383
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: Man If control f is to be leieved, to be

384
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: believed more than three hundred, what's wow heavy? As for Sabonis,

385
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: the only like the biggest issues he's gonna have continuing

386
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: it streaked throughout the season. Thursday April fourth, they play

387
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: the Knicks. They are a pretty good rebounding team. And

388
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: then I would say Thursday, April eleventh. A week after that,

389
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: they got the Pelicans, another team with some bigs out

390
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: there at least, but otherwise it's like Mavericks, Mavericks, Jazz, Clippers, Celtics, Nets, Thunder.

391
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: He could do it, he could do it.

392
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: He can, and he definitely needs to for this team

393
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: because he is by far their number one rebounder and

394
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: they lack that. They lack the size a little bit.

395
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: But all that being said, they are playing a different

396
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: type of defense recently. They're hot in the month of March.

397
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: They've had eight straight games here, holding their opponent to

398
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: under one hundred and ten. That's not Kings like, but

399
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: four of those eight even under one hundred points. And

400
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: they're a month the month of March is it's ridiculous

401
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: really when you look at it. Since the Keon Ellison

402
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: insertion into the starting lap, they're third in defense in March.

403
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: They're playing harder and I can't wait. I can't wait

404
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: for a playoff appearance by the Sacramento Kings team because

405
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: they need that and they have sort of been a

406
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: middle of the row type of defense team. But they

407
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: are looking different and hopefully that carries over into the postseason.

408
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: I've seen some notable Kings fans say they believe in

409
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: their defense more than their offense. At this point, you

410
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: would never think you'd say that about the Sacramento Kings.

411
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, especially with Kean Ellison. Then I locked in

412
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 3: all let's keep it going task. He start us off here,

413
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 3: how many what's on Dante DiVincenzo setting the next single

414
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 3: game three point record crushing the Pistons. He hit eleven

415
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: of his twenty three point attempts in forty one minutes.

416
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: Monty Williams was not happy about all this, but how

417
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: many what's.

418
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Give me that?

419
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: Noria? I'll take three hundred.

420
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: It deserves three hundred at least twenty, I guess.

421
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: I mean, we sat here a couple of years ago

422
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: when he was involved in that fourteen deal right before

423
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, and we thought, wow, what is Dante

424
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: Divinchenz was going to become in this league? And he

425
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: went to the Warriors. Steph Curry apparently taught him how

426
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: to get into that, into that mentality of shooting those

427
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: threes and just being better at it. But even him

428
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 2: going into this year where he left for the New

429
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 2: York next, he didn't expect it. Steph Currery literally didn't

430
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: expect a great article on The Athletic about that and great,

431
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: great attitude and persona with this New York Next team

432
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: because Deep Potandal did that post game after hitting those

433
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: eleven threes and he was talking and he was asked

434
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: about it and he said, I want to hit more

435
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: if Jalen brunn just passed me the fricking ball a

436
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: little bit more. That isn't uh no, that isn't a

437
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: poke at Jalen Brunson. That's just they love each other

438
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: on this team. But by far, he's made the most

439
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: threes of his career. He shoots eight per game. That's

440
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: by far the highest of his career. Because he just

441
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: locked into that, and it overshadows all the little the

442
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: negative things about the New York Knicks, which I think

443
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: are worries Julius Ranild still being out or Gianninobi now

444
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: out missed four games since he's resting that elbow that

445
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: he came back from. So those are worries. But Devin

446
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: Jenzo has been given the green light on this team

447
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: to shoot threes, and it's important to just give space

448
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: to Jalen Brunson. You need a shooting guard who can

449
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: absolutely shoot, and that's why he'll always start over Josh Hart, Imo,

450
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: and that's that's the important part for this offense.

451
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Piston's coach Money Williams after the game said, quote,

452
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 3: I don't care about their team at all. I couldn't

453
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: care less those guys the way they got those threes.

454
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to be a part of that story.

455
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 3: He's sort of alluding to, you know, there's a lot

456
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: of threes taken in the fourth quarter from Devincenzo and

457
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: you know, sort of gunning for the record a little bit.

458
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: Josh Hart though, perfect response. If he didn't want to

459
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: be a part of that story, he should have told

460
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: his guys to defend better. What else is there to say,

461
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: we got a guy that's hot, We're gonna try and

462
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: find the guy that's hot. End quote. That's Josh Hart.

463
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: So how many whats on Devincenzo setting the record? I

464
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: think he was tied with or the record was j R.

465
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 3: Smith and Evan Fournier with ten me threes.

466
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why for me, this gets the j R.

467
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: Smith squinting.

468
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: What that should be Jr.

469
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: Smith's record? Man, he was ten for twenty two and

470
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: I remember when he took those twenty two threes, it

471
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: was like, what, somebody's taken twenty two threes? Now he

472
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: got an accountant doing it in college games. It's not

473
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: even a big deal, but uh yeah, or de Vincenzo

474
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: good stuff. He's still seven shy of Evan Fortyer's season record.

475
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: That's pretty weird that he's the all time season record

476
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: for a holder for the Knicks. Devincenzo has thirty four

477
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: I think it's two forty one forty and yeah, eight

478
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: attempts is nice, but he's eleven plus attempts since the

479
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: All Star break. He's letting it fly even more right

480
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: now while still shooting forty percent. Great stuff and exactly

481
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: what the Knicks need from that spot. Playing alongside Brunson

482
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: who wants to get inside, Randal who will be inside whenever.

483
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: So if OG's able to get healthy and stay on

484
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: the court throughout the playoffs, they got two guys who

485
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: are great shooters, who are gonna shoot it every time

486
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: they are open.

487
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: I can't believe looking at Devin Chanzel's numbers this scene.

488
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: It has been quiet, I guess because of Brunson. But

489
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: six games with thirty points or more, Yeah, it's a

490
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: little surprising done with what Brunson demands in terms of shots,

491
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: what Randal demands in terms of shots. Yeah, that's that's

492
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: a surprising number.

493
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 3: It is insane how great his years been here. Like

494
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: he's doing, like in terms of volume and efficiency at

495
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: the three point shot, like he's doing like Kurry and

496
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 3: Clay like thinks in terms of just pure numbers that

497
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: he's putting up here, and you would never have thought that,

498
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: like obviously a couple of years ago. But locked in

499
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: final one here, we gotta start with Trey on how

500
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: many what's this deserves? Or what type of what? I

501
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 3: don't know what this has turned into here? The Wizards

502
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: beat the Bulls one o seven to one oh five

503
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 3: for a season high third straight win for Washington TK

504
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 3: how many.

505
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: What's just one?

506
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: Exasperated?

507
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: What?

508
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: These Bulls they just refuse to be back.

509
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: Man, they can't.

510
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 3: They'll never be back.

511
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: I'll be back four games under five hundred right now.

512
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: That means they gotta go seven and three the last

513
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: ten games here. I think they're not back.

514
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: Who knows.

515
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: It's the Bull's first three game losing streak since November.

516
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: Cool story, and it's also the Wizard's first three game

517
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: win streak of the season. Ye throw them a nut

518
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: laden pizza party five or Sean Holmes out there. I

519
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: thought last night he went for fourteen points, fifteen boards,

520
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: a couple assists, a steal on a block. He was

521
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: playing harder than literally anybody. Jared Butler, Is that the guy's.

522
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: Name that by Jalen Green?

523
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: Was it?

524
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly right.

525
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: You had thirteen assists off the bench, and this is

526
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: gonna get a little weird too. Vusavich's oh it happened. Yeah,

527
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: we got Nikolovucevic obviously for the Bulls. Tristan Vuksovic made

528
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: his uh, he's started playing for the Wizards now. And

529
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: they shared the court together, which the Bulls got very

530
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: very excited about. Adam Amin and Stacy King because they've

531
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: had a long time sponsor on Bulls Broadcast Nationwide insurance

532
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: agent Jeff Vukovic Nation that is on your side, the

533
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: Golden Pipes. That was an exciting moment there in the

534
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter when those two were on the court together. Man,

535
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: that was cool.

536
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: Corey Kispert had twelve rebounds in this game for the

537
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 3: Wizards too, and they went three straight and JD's throwing

538
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 3: up here because this was a big win for me.

539
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 3: Remember a week and a half ago when I said

540
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: it was over, I'm done, the Wizards are gonna be

541
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: the worst. Well I did the reverse Jags. It worked

542
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 3: perfectly because now the Wizards are two games ahead of

543
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 3: the Pistons after this three game win streak. You know,

544
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: I think the Hornets are fine. I think Tk's fine,

545
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: but Task is in trouble now.

546
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: Yes, a three game win streak.

547
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 3: Of course I trouble.

548
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: So that gave me a what I couldn't believe that

549
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: the Wizards had their first three game win streak. And

550
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: the Vuksovich sighting. I remember talking about him after he

551
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: got drafted last year. He's a second round draft pick

552
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: of the Washington Wizards, but he was a stash guy.

553
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: He's going to be in part on partisan in Europe,

554
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: and that's who we played for this season. And the

555
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: Wizards say, come on over here in late March, that's

556
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 2: when they got him. They brought him over and that

557
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: was his first shot, was a nailed three pointer last

558
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: night of his career, and it was just his second game.

559
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: And I remember reading that draft report. It was a

560
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: draft combine report by Ian Miller. That guy hit spot threes,

561
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: tax close outs, he makes jumpers off the dribble. Buksovic

562
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 2: could be better than Butvic. That's all I'm saying. Okay,

563
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 2: that's too much, that's way. Yeah, does sound like Buksovich

564
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: can't wait to see I.

565
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: Know that I'm gonna screw that up so many times,

566
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: so I'm not looking forward to it. Also, in this game,

567
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 3: I was sort of like, I was happy the Wizards

568
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: win because I want another one in the nut dust

569
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: Bowl standings ahead of Task and its pistons. But I

570
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 3: also wanted Demarta Rosen to hit that three pointer at

571
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: the end. Yeah, that wasn't far off. Yeah, I mean

572
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: it was like half court because the Wizard had hit

573
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 3: their free throws if I remember correctly. Yeah, and then

574
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: the Bulls had no timeout to advance it, so they

575
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: had just chuck it in, had some seconds to work with,

576
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: and DeRozan let it fly basically from half and oh

577
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: my god, it almost went.

578
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: He shot it with about two seconds left as well.

579
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: He could have taken another gro and gotten closer, but

580
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: there was a defender there. He's like, it's gonna be

581
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: a long shot. Anyways, so I thought it was better

582
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: to shoot it early and get a clean look and

583
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: it at least hit the back rim.

584
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: So the Bulls have lost three straight. Like you said,

585
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: they're only one and a half up now on Atlanta

586
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: for the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference. I mean,

587
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 3: we think they're playing each other. It's just who's gonna

588
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 3: be hosting that game? We thought it was like a

589
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: week ago, it was like, oh, the Bulls definitely will be.

590
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: They still might. They hold the tiebreaker, so that's big

591
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 3: Hawk's gotta leap them in the standings to actually host

592
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: a game here in Atlanta.

593
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: And they play on April first in Chicago.

594
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: Right, a big game in terms of standings. Absolutely, absolutely.

595
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 3: I was just going to ask you this is a

596
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 3: weird question because I think I know your answer, but like,

597
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 3: I mean, we live in Atlanta. Would you prefer to

598
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 3: go see your Bulls play in the play in here

599
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: in Atlanta in a nine ten matchup? Or would you

600
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 3: rather the Bulls keep the night seed because you know,

601
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: maybe their chances to win.

602
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: Killian and Bape. I will be there no matter what

603
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: if the Bulls are playing here in Atlanta. I'm very

604
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: like underwear.

605
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: But you're gonna go fly home to Chicago.

606
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: I will not be there, no matter.

607
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: That's the opposite of that.

608
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: I will be there depending on what the game is.

609
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 3: All Right, So you're actually hoping now Atlanta jumps them.

610
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: I got you.

611
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: I guess that's true. Uh and then okay, that's it

612
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 3: for the what scale? We'll find out if that's a

613
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: segment we keep. But there was a bunch of other

614
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: games last night. I'm not going to go through them all.

615
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 3: The Rockets did extend their wind streak to nine straight.

616
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: You know, a bunch of other things happening, any of

617
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: them that you want to touch on tasks or deserve.

618
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: Nope, Like Frank Vogel said about the Pacers, he was

619
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: worried about. I'm not the Pacers. I got Frank Vogels,

620
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: the coach of the Pacers again, Frank Vogel for the

621
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns. Similarly, it's because I just saw the word

622
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: pacers because they beat the Los Angeles Clippers. Similarly, Tylo

623
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: sat at the at the the press conference afterwards and

624
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: he said, do we have an identity? Yeah, we're soft

625
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: right now. And that's that's worrisome for the Los Angeles Clippers.

626
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: They don't have an identity because they're just not trying

627
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: as hard. They just are ready for the postseason. It

628
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 2: feels like teams are just scoring on them pretty easily.

629
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: And yeah, we get the James Harden versus Philadelphia in

630
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 2: Philadelphia on Wednesday to try and write that a little bit.

631
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: But they have they have not looked strong recently, so

632
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: that one stands out. And also Hornet's Cavaliers Marcus Morris

633
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: was signed there to be a just a strong willed

634
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: guy in the postseason in the locker room for a

635
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: ten day. He had a ten day here a weekend.

636
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: He drops Nick Richards with an elbow because because he

637
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: said the dunk rules prominent. I wonder they keep him

638
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: around after the ten day. I mean he's trying to

639
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: set the tone for the Cavaliers, which I mean, I

640
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: guess is helpful. But it's like it's like we're ten days.

641
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 2: It's like we're ten years ago where guys banged each

642
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: other with with elbows like that a little bit more so, Yeah, it.

643
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Worked though, Yes it work, And so Amy said, I

644
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: never really want to get ejected from a game. I

645
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: still want to help my team, but I'm just happy.

646
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: We responded really well, So if I got to lay

647
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: somebody out every game and we're gonna respond like that,

648
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: then so be it.

649
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: That's why they're keeping him around. That's why signed.

650
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: Literally, like, if we're going to keep winn, I'll knock

651
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: a guy out every game. So yeah, they're gonna sign

652
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: him again.

653
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: Dude, you're playing the Hornets. Man, you were going to

654
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: win the game regardless that, But that was that.

655
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: That was the game changer.

656
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, so any notes from any of those

657
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: other games I've task had him on the ones I

658
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 3: was interested in Marcus Morris and then the Clippers.

659
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: Clippers have lost six of nine. The Pelicans just passed

660
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: him in the standing and yeah, ty lu called him soft,

661
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: which I guess. I don't know. Is that better or

662
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: worse than Paul George saying they I have no identity,

663
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: because Tyler was like, yeah, we do have an identity.

664
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: It's soft if you want to call us that. And

665
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: they just don't look the same. Basically, they went twenty

666
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: six and five, then they went on their long road

667
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: trip during the Grammys, and since they've been back, it's like,

668
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: get us to the playoffs.

669
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, at this.

670
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: Point and It kind of feels like maybe the no

671
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: load management has caught up to these Clippers. They played

672
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: really hard through the first two thirds of the season

673
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: and now they're just trying to maintain their seed and

674
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: maintain their bodies to get to the playoffs.

675
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: Sort of healthy, right, Yes, if you're looking at the

676
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 3: standings as of today, Nuggets in the number one seed.

677
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: They're one game clear of OKC, who's two. Then you

678
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: got the Wolves, then it is Pelicans four, Clippers five.

679
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: Kings are up to sixth, Dallas is seventh, they did

680
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: win last night, Sons have fallen to eighth, and then

681
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: it's Lakers, Warriors, Rockets in the nine ten to eleven

682
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: in the Rockets are a half game back here of

683
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: Golden State, and then yeah, notes in the Eastern Conference,

684
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: the Pacers like have put together decent little stretch here

685
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: and they're in the sixth seed. Magic obviously fifth, Nick fourth,

686
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: and then Miami Philly, Chicago, Atlanta are in the plan

687
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: and Nets are not catching anyone there. So we know

688
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: the teams, we know the ten best teams in the

689
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference. Just figuring out who's gonna play who We'll

690
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: take a break and when we come back, we will

691
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: get into the NBA investigating raptors Johntay Porter for betting irregularities.

692
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere, all right, It still here in the

693
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: classic factory. Let's get into a little is this news

694
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: we'll lead with quite the headline that was making the

695
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 3: rounds last night from the Athletic, the NBA investigating raptors

696
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: Johntay Porter for betting irregularities. Let me give you just

697
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: the quick rundown of this story. So Raptors forward Johntay Porter,

698
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: brother of Michael Porter Junior. He's under investigation by the

699
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: NBA following multiple instances of betting irregularities over the past

700
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 3: several months. At issue are prop bets involving Porter from

701
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 3: games on January twenty sixth and March twentieth, and in

702
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: both those games there was like this increased betting interest

703
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 3: on the unders for Johntay Porter's lines for his props.

704
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 3: In both games, Porter played very few minutes before leaving.

705
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: January twenty sixth, he played four minutes before leaving the

706
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: game because of what the raptor said was a reaggravation

707
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: of an eye injury he'd suffered four days earlier in

708
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: a game and then on March twentieth, Porter played just

709
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: three minutes before leaving the game because of what the

710
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 3: raptor said was an illness. So this is I mean

711
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: a lot of us we expected this. We didn't expect

712
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: it from Johntay Porter maybe, but we figured this will

713
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: be coming. This sort of headline. Is this news, I

714
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 3: assume you believe it is.

715
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: It is absolutely news. Something like this was bound to happen,

716
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: that either a person who plays in the NBA bat

717
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: on a game or he was making sure someone's bets

718
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: that he knew were being placed were cashing out. Now,

719
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: investigation is being done. Sure that is a positive all

720
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: in all, and that made me do an investigation when

721
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: I saw these exact things that were said, Oh, I

722
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 2: got to the video. I wanted to see what he

723
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 2: did in these games. Because the ESPN was the first

724
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 2: to report that the two incidance January twenty six, Porter's

725
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: number of three pointers made prop that prop zero point five.

726
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: He hit the under and that's where people cashed out

727
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: because he hit the under because he didn't take a three,

728
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: and so it really worked out that he didn't hit

729
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: a three. And the report was that he left the

730
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: game because he aggravated an eye injury from the previous game.

731
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: He played four minutes and I watched watch the tape.

732
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: He walked off the floor at the end of the

733
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: first quarter. He didn't look like he was injured or

734
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: reaggravated anything, but he went to the bench and he

735
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: went to the coaching staff and did something to his

736
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: I pointed at his eye. There's something going on. And

737
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: as Ryakovic was asked here just now, he said, I

738
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: never doubt injuries. I never doubt honesty from players. Obviously,

739
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: I've never had a situation like this before. So that happens,

740
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: and then the prop bets are the moneymaker. In the

741
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: other game, in the March twentieth game, where he played

742
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: again the last couple of minutes of the first quarter.

743
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: That's all he played. Then he walked off the floor

744
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: and never came back. And this one was because of

745
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: an illness. That being said, players get suspended for betting.

746
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: We've seen it in the NFL over the last few years.

747
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: A lot of them have happened, and a stricter rule

748
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: has been associated by the NFL. Any player who gets

749
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: caught betting on NFL will feast at least a one

750
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 2: year suspension two years if you gamble on your own team.

751
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: So it's something for the NBA to monitor. Obviously, Obviously

752
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: they have been monitoring their data scientists in every front

753
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 2: office that talked to the NBA and discuss it with

754
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: these betting companies as well. So it's bound to happen.

755
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: It's bound to get worse. I assume what do you

756
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 2: think about this?

757
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think task has nailed it. It was bound

758
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: to happen, but it happened pretty quickly after the league

759
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: added betting to the League Pass app you know, like

760
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: the same week basically. And maybe John tay Porter wasn't

761
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: the most obvious candidate, but if you see what tennis

762
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: fans were saying yesterday, this is exactly who it's gonna be.

763
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: Little things like this with players that nobody's really paying

764
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: attention to, like a bench guy on a team that's

765
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: not in the race right now, that's exactly who it's

766
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: gonna be. So pending the investigation, it's interesting to think

767
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: about what the punishment would be for him, because you

768
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: have to imagine that the league is gonna come down

769
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: really hard on this to send a message, because it

770
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: really destroys the integrity of the game. You got that

771
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: clip going around of John day Porter on Twitter last

772
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: night banking in a three pointer and looking disappointed after it.

773
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: You got task going back checking the four minutes he

774
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: played to see what happened and tell me you didn't

775
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: think of other players when this came out and you're like, oh,

776
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: I've seen some guys have a two point game when

777
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: they needed you to be the second scorer that night?

778
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: Were you in the bag? That's the worst part about

779
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: the entire thing. So it's gonna be interesting to see

780
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: what the league has to say once they've done their investigation.

781
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point that this is exactly, unfortunately,

782
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 3: the type of player that would maybe try this again.

783
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 3: These are allegations right now they're doing the investigation. I

784
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: guess you could. It could be a cool incidents. It

785
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 3: sure doesn't feel like it. But point being two way guy,

786
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: you know, he makes a lot of money compared to

787
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: the rest of us. He sure doesn't make a lot

788
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: of money as a professional athlete. Does he make like

789
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 3: four hundred thousand ballpark there as a two way guy

790
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 3: with the Raptors? You know he you know, you're learning

791
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 3: a lot more about John tay Porter here over the

792
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 3: last you know, twelve hours of his interests off the court,

793
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 3: cryptocurrency and you know, going on podcasts and flipping five

794
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 3: thousand dollars into one hundred thousand dollars. That sure doesn't

795
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: look good when you're going, I want to give the

796
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: guy the benefit of the doubt what's going on here.

797
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: But that's a great point. How severe if this is

798
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 3: found out to be true that he was either doing

799
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: this himself or he was actually doing it with someone

800
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 3: to hit these unders, what will the punishment be? How severe?

801
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: Will Adam Silver come down to send any sort of

802
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 3: message like will this be a lifetime ban, a year ban,

803
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: two ban? I don't know what type of termination of

804
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 3: contract you obviously can do that. Players are allowed to

805
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: bet on sports for the NBA rules, just not on

806
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 3: the NBA, not on the G League, not on the

807
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 3: w NBA. That's a violation of league policy. They can

808
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: go and bet on, you know, a baseball game. They

809
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 3: can go bet on a football game, but it is

810
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: you know, it's a weird look with all of the

811
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: sports gambling they are propping up the leagues and all

812
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: of the media feels like half the time. I mean

813
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: every second commercial, so an ad for a sports gambling

814
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 3: website then and so it's like, okay, we'll take your money.

815
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: This is great, we're all making money. But then, holy crap,

816
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,479
Speaker 3: if this starts happening, you got egg on your face.

817
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: Yep, a lot of egg on their face. The only

818
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: I guess. Calvin Ridley was recently suspended by the NFL

819
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: for betting on games. He got suspended for a year

820
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: and then he's now back playing. But I mean, Calvin

821
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: Ridley is like a big time receiver in the NFL.

822
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if John Tay porters standing the league

823
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: will make the league come down even harder on him,

824
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, just because he's not necessarily a guy who

825
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 1: has established in the NBA. We shall see.

826
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was weird after that first game. This is

827
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: months ago, and this is me just loving the investigation

828
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: part of things and getting into it. But after that

829
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: first game, the next day, DraftKings reported that those props

830
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: that didn't happen were the biggest money winner for betters

831
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 2: from NBA player props the night before.

832
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's the red flag that pops up.

833
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what the.

834
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: Second time they're like what, Yeah.

835
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: It should be a red flag first time, it should

836
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: be over the first time, and figuring it, but they

837
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: let it happen again. It happened again, and here we go,

838
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: Well we'll get it, we'll get stricter. That's obviously going

839
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: to be the case.

840
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 3: Within that is like sort of the stupidity, the greed.

841
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 3: I mean, that's gambling of maybe they would have gotten

842
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 3: away with it again if this is true, if they

843
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 3: would have gotten away with it if you just do

844
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: it the one game, but yeah, you do it a

845
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: month later, the basically the exact same thing. Heavy money

846
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 3: on a no name player, a two way guy to

847
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 3: hit these unders, who then removes themselves from the game

848
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 3: under sort of weird circumstances like whoa, this is a

849
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 3: pattern here and hence looking into it. So look, I guess,

850
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 3: I guess it's good that it was caught, but unfortunately

851
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 3: it just goes, well, how many of people have already

852
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: done this, how many more will try? And what are

853
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: the safeguards to catch it and prevent it? And can

854
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: you And then again it's like you sort of a

855
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 3: lot of people are gonna roll their eyes, but it's

856
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: like you asked for it. You made your bed, now

857
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 3: you gotta lie in it, and then you're gonna maybe

858
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,959
Speaker 3: hurt the product and maybe hurt fan and stuff like that.

859
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 3: We'll see, we'll learn more here. I'm sure about Porter

860
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: and whether you know whether how much he was involved,

861
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:30,879
Speaker 3: whether he was involved in all that.

862
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: And it's positive that there's dedicated personnel from each NBA

863
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 2: team that does an investigations. There's the league has a

864
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: team of data scientists and they work with a third partner,

865
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 2: a third party excuse me, that also looks into it.

866
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: That being said, it did weird me out reading everything

867
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: that happened in the first game. That was just a

868
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: huge alert. Why did it happen again? Why was it

869
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: allowed to happen again? That being said, who knows what

870
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 2: he has done?

871
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 3: We will wait and find out next one here CBS Sports,

872
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 3: they wrote the headline like such. Kaser's coach says, free

873
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 3: throw disparity versus the Lakers was impossible to overcome, as

874
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: La Pad's NBA leading stat This is Rick Carlisle. We

875
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: brought it up on yesterday's show, the huge discrepancy in

876
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 3: that Pacers Lakers game. But we've learned more about the Lakers'

877
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: trips to the free throw line. It was at Andrew D.

878
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 3: Bailey on Twitter showing us, you know, heading into last

879
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: night's games at least, just how much more the Lakers

880
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 3: have shot at the free throw line compared to you

881
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: see the Knicks there and second, Bucks and third. Huge discrepancy. Now,

882
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 3: this was going back to last season, including the playoffs.

883
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 3: I saw that over the course of this season, the

884
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 3: Lakers were leading the league in free throw attempt differential

885
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: by like plus four to twenty that they had the

886
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 3: Bucks were second nearly two hundred less. Is this news,

887
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 3: Tray Kirby, the Lakers over the last couple of years

888
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 3: here having this huge free throw disparity.

889
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think it gets news

890
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: at all. Everybody knows the Lakers draw a lot of

891
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: free throws, and I think the thing that doesn't necessarily

892
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: stick out is that they don't send teams to the

893
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: line all that often. It last season lowest opponent free

894
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: throw rate, second lowest in the playoffs, second lowest this season.

895
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 1: Last year they had the lowest personal files, fourth lowest

896
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, lowest this season. Lebron and ad don't

897
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: file like they famously are very good defenders who don't file.

898
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: Lebron has filed out six times in his NBA career,

899
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: The last time was in twenty seventeen. Anthony Davis has

900
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: filed out four times. He had won in November and

901
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: prior to that it was all with the Pelicans. So defensively,

902
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: they're a middle ten defense. They don't file that much,

903
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: those guys specifically, and then like, who's gonna be fouling

904
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: on the outside, D'Angelo Russell, I don't think so, Tim,

905
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, not surprising, but when you put it as

906
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 1: total free throw points differential, it can look really bad.

907
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: The Lakers played sixteen games in the playoffs last year,

908
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: the Magic played zero. You know, ye the Bucks played five.

909
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: So that's why the total number looks like that. In reality,

910
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: they're about even with these teams.

911
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: It's a very good way of describing it, because they're

912
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: actually fourth per game among teams this season in terms

913
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 2: of free throws per game. But the Bailey tweet gets you,

914
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: it makes you think about it, obviously, but the postseason

915
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 2: was huge, and in the postseason that's where they play.

916
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 2: They are good at that, and they are towards the

917
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 2: bottom in terms of three pointers attempt per game this season,

918
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 2: so they play inside the arc, they drive it. You

919
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: can say, well, the Denver Nuggets are also towards the

920
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: bottom in terms of three pointers per game, but they

921
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: don't draw as many fouls. That's because Yoki is just

922
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: passing that thing, ain't driving the things. So it's a

923
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: little different. So I don't actually make much of it.

924
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: I think Trey Burke broke it down pretty well right there.

925
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 3: Next one here from Awful Announcing, it's yearly headline. Maybe

926
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 3: change the name every once in a while, but Mike

927
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 3: Greenberg makes absurd claim that Yukon could make the NBA playoffs.

928
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 3: All right, every year we get one of the most

929
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: dominant looking teams in college hoops and somebody goes on

930
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 3: air and says, I think you put them in the

931
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference, they can make the playoffs. Is this news,

932
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 3: Tess Malls.

933
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: As you said, the headline is very similar year to year.

934
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, this is a classic.

935
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 2: That's why it's news to me. In that change it up.

936
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: Why don't you go, well, you can't, you can make

937
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Do that. That's a better headline. That's why

938
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: it's news to me.

939
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 3: Want Awful Announcing to make it upun the headline.

940
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember Karan Butler kept saying it when

941
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: we worked at NBA TV. Yeah, anytime he saw an

942
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: NBA as anybody from NB from Yukon do something, he

943
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: would say, you can't uk I like it, Come on,

944
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 2: what is there to say? What is there to say?

945
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, neither j Williams or Seth Greenberg wasted any time

946
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 3: in a sort of this argument from from Greeney there,

947
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 3: They sort of like, Nah, that's bait. I'm not doing

948
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: that again, doing that again, Trey? What do you think

949
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: about this yearly? This yearly headline that the you know,

950
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 3: one of the better college teams could hang in the NBA.

951
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: Didn't Yukon destroy Northwestern? I think that's who they beat. Yeah,

952
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: that's definitely where Mike Greenberg went to college. So I

953
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: can see where he's coming from. But uh, you know,

954
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: to to investigate a little, I looked at the ESPN

955
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: mock draft to see where these Kentucky or these Yukon

956
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: guys are. Shanavan Klingen mocked is the fifth pick right now,

957
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: Big defensive center Stefan Castle is the seventeenth pick. He's

958
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: like a defensive guard. And then they got a guy

959
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: whose last name is Caravan and write down his first name,

960
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: but I bet it's Dodge. He's a fiftieth pick, mocked

961
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: as a fiftieth pick. So I'm like, what team is

962
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: similar to that right now that has three rookies who

963
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: would be a top fifty, top fifty draft, right because

964
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean these guys are twenty one years old, basically,

965
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: who would be coming to the NBA. How about the

966
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers. They got the third pick, Scoot Henderson, they

967
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: got the twenty third pick Chris Murray, and then they've

968
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: got the forty thick third pick and Ryan Rupaire in

969
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: the fifty second pick Ni Kamara. They are nineteen and

970
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: fifty three r fourteenth place in the Western Conference, and

971
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: they have veterans that play for them as well. Malcolm Brognam.

972
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: I saw him play for the Blazers this season, Jeremy Grant.

973
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: He's got a big time deal. So I don't think

974
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: this is true.

975
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 3: No, no, no.

976
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I think it would be impressive if

977
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: they weren't in last place in the NBA.

978
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. They should tone these down and

979
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: say Yukon could win a couple of games in an

980
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: NBA season. Maybe maybe you still have the issue of

981
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 3: you have maybe three NBA guys versus fifteen NBA guys

982
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 3: or twelve guys that are gonna play whatever. There's that,

983
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 3: but maybe yeah, a game or two. No, when they

984
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 3: go start saying they'd be in the playoffs and hosting

985
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 3: a series like what come on? It's ridiculous. But then again,

986
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: look at those Villanova knicks right now, that's right, that's right.

987
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: Wait till they had bridges in that, We're basically gonna

988
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 3: just see it play out.

989
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: I would like it. How about this would be great

990
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: to take. I would like to see this Yukon team

991
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,839
Speaker 1: could make the play in tournament after they play five

992
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: years together in the NBA.

993
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, there we go, there we go.

994
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: If we keep them together for five years, they could

995
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: do it.

996
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 3: Okay, I just had to slip that one in there.

997
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 3: Final one, Sports business journal Adam Silver says the All

998
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 3: Star Game maybe past the point of being competitive. He

999
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 3: talked about this on an appearance on A King Charles

1000
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 3: the TV Show on CNN. I forgot this was a show, Yeah,

1001
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 3: with Gail King and Charles Barkley.

1002
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're sitting there listening to Adam Silver talker.

1003
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 3: Watching the CEA King and Charles Barkley.

1004
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: That's why they call it King.

1005
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 3: Charles, that's right, that's right. And so here's what Silver

1006
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: said about All Star weekend. It was a great weekend,

1007
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 3: but it wasn't a basketball game, the All Star Game.

1008
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 3: So I think maybe as opposed to trying to create

1009
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: a super competitive basketball game, which I'm not sure the

1010
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 3: teams or the players really want at the moment, we

1011
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: should do more fun events. He said, We're gonna look

1012
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: at the USA Versus International. I just think maybe we're

1013
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 3: past the point where we're going to play a truly

1014
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 3: competitive game. Adam Silver almost giving up here on the

1015
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 3: All Star.

1016
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: Almost Well, yeah, I guess it's not officially given up,

1017
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: but it feels like it. Two months ago he told

1018
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: us that was going to be competitive. Well yeah, that

1019
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: was back to basketball. Yeah, he said, we have one

1020
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: last chance. We tried it. Nothing else we can do basically.

1021
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 3: Okay, So do you think USA versus International could quote

1022
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 3: unquote save the All Star Game?

1023
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he was leading that at all. Charles

1024
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: was saying USA versus International, that could be a different

1025
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: All Star Game version. Yeah, until he was just saying.

1026
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: Nothing that will do absolutely nothing.

1027
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he was nothing. He was just I think

1028
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 2: he was throwing Charles a bone. There.

1029
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: He does.

1030
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 2: He doesn't want the USA Verus International. He doesn't think

1031
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: that will help. He was just saying, Charles, yeah, I

1032
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 2: understand what you're saying, but uh, we're gonna have dodgeball.

1033
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 2: I mean that's what it sounds like to me, like

1034
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna change it up. We're going NFL style, because

1035
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: that's what they do, right. They stopped playing a competitive game,

1036
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 2: trying to play a competitive game, and they said, you

1037
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 2: know what, we make a lot of money. We don't

1038
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: care to that effect. And I do buy that. I'm

1039
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 2: silver is basically done with it. I mean, he told

1040
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: us a few months ago that I'm not sure about

1041
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 2: the G League Knight's future. They just went bye bye.

1042
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 2: They've shuddered after this season. So it's interesting. It is interesting, though,

1043
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: I mean, the All Star Game I think can get

1044
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 2: competitive a little bit more. And I do agree to

1045
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 2: the usavers International. I'm not sure that's not enough, Like

1046
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: we do have enough international players for it to be good. Obviously,

1047
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: the guys just keep winning freaking MVP after vyp and

1048
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: Kanis and all that.

1049
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 3: But it could just be a bunch of International All

1050
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 3: Stars and a bunch of American All Stars, just like

1051
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 3: we have in the actual All Star Game.

1052
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: It might work. We'll get the rivalry developing between Bowl

1053
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: Bull and Victor Webbin Yama. People take up for Bowl Bully.

1054
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: Why I don't know what, What is any reason besides

1055
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he's not in an international player.

1056
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 3: They don't want to play in this game because they

1057
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 3: don't want to get injured in an exhibition game. You know,

1058
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 3: they're tired, they want to break. This is the biggest part.

1059
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 3: All of their non All Stars are on a beach

1060
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 3: in a very long season and they're looking at them

1061
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 3: on ig going, damn it, I gotta play in a

1062
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 3: meaningless game, and I don't really want to, especially don't

1063
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 3: want to get hurt. You know, most of these guys

1064
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 3: like so. I don't think USA First International does anything

1065
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 3: for the All Star Game. It did nothing from what

1066
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 3: I remember from the Rising Stars, didn't change the dynamics

1067
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 3: of that.

1068
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: Maybe go to a tournament, well maybe maybe.

1069
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I did find it. Adam Silver, I found it

1070
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 2: odd that Adam Silver would say they want to break

1071
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: it's a long season.

1072
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: Well, Shorten say, this was like depressing to me as

1073
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 3: a huge All Star weekend fan. I was like, oh god,

1074
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 3: they lost Adam Silver because you're right. He was like, Hey,

1075
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 3: we're going back to basketball. You're getting rid of all

1076
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: these elam endings and blah blahah We're just gonna play.

1077
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 3: The guys are gonna play. And it was like they

1078
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 3: did nothing changed. It was even worse or just as bad.

1079
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 3: And now he's law. He's like, all right, they got me.

1080
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 3: They don't want to play.

1081
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think, yes, he is a little bit

1082
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 2: just tired of watching it. Year after year they tried to.

1083
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 2: They went up to the players Association and said, we

1084
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 2: want you guys to play. I will say, though, thinking

1085
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: about the international part Yiannis said to Coubo was trying

1086
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 2: on defense at times in this game, speaking specifically an

1087
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 2: international player, there isn't it's not that far difference. I

1088
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: know it looks like whoa, these guys can shoot from

1089
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: center court and they're not playing defense. But they just

1090
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 2: tried in the fourth quarter a little bit over the years,

1091
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: like it ain't that far. I don't think. I think

1092
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 2: you try it again, try to get the players freaking

1093
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 2: motivated to play a little defense, because again Yannis was

1094
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 2: bodying a guy at the three point line. It was

1095
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: one position, but one possession of every pay possession. That's

1096
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: not enough, okay.

1097
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 3: Adam Silver basically pleaded with them to play hard this year,

1098
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 3: he said, Joe.

1099
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: Dumarzen, they did it.

1100
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: Joe Dumars called him and said, come on, come on,

1101
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 2: get it.

1102
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 3: So now what So now you either have to make

1103
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 3: it a monetary thing, which feels crazy for guys making

1104
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 3: you know, forty fifty million dollars. I guess everyone wants

1105
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 3: more money. I've you know, kicked around the idea of

1106
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 3: like these guys want vacation, play for vacation, play for

1107
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 3: a break winning team. You're you're off man, hit the

1108
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: beach for five days, like, get like something that'll actually

1109
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 3: get them, you know, wanting to play a little bit

1110
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 3: hard or yeah, just get rid of it. And that's

1111
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 3: where Silver seems to be leaning, and maybe it's the

1112
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 3: right answer. Maybe it is just going really fun with weird,

1113
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 3: Like I don't know what you would do anything. I

1114
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 3: guess Papa shot games and rocking jock style. Yeah, yeah,

1115
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: just go crazy with it what Dan Cortez is up to.

1116
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: But man like that. People want to cancel the dunk contest.

1117
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: People want to candl the All Star Game. All we

1118
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: got is Arnie Duncan shooting hubshots in.

1119
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 3: I think we're the only ones that can save Well

1120
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 3: Star Weekend at this point. Back out, I'd be quite sad,

1121
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 3: quite sad. I thought that I interview Good to see

1122
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 3: King Charles though the television show, because I remember like

1123
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 3: lead up, I remember like, oh, really they're gonna Yeah,

1124
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 3: we talked about it, like Gail King and Charles Berkley

1125
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 3: on CNN talking about the the big topics issues. Yeah,

1126
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 3: the issues. We're gonna start a conversation.

1127
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,959
Speaker 1: I do like a little All Star talk a month

1128
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: after All Star because usually it's like we can play

1129
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: it for two weeks and then it's gone until next February.

1130
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:25,479

Speaker 1: exact same NBA highlight clips that get recycled at the

1136
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: same time every year started a list. Number one Derek

1137
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: Roses three dunks against the heat. Always watch a good one.

1138
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: Number two Jason Williams passing highlight tape. I will always

1139
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: watch that one and then three, four and five are

1140
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: for you to fit. So what's an NBA highlight clip

1141
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: that always gets recycled? And I will say in a

1142
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: good way that you're excited to see time and time again?

1143
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 3: Okay, some obvious ones you know of the dunk compilations,

1144
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 3: Vince Carter, Yeah, baby, anytime you're showing specially young raptors days. Well,

1145
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean he had some bangers with the nets as well,

1146
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, any VC dunk compilation. Same goes

1147
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 3: for Sean Camp, same goes for Blake Griffin. I'm watching

1148
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 3: it every single time, like, oh, yeah, those are great dunks.

1149
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've really actually liked seeing the Blake Griffin ones

1150
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 1: go around since Anthony Edwards had his dunk and people

1151
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, you're you're young. If you don't remember

1152
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin's post or collection wasn't how long ago?

1153
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 3: Then yeah. The good thing about good though Blake, is

1154
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 3: anytime a big thrunk happens. The old throw dunk, you

1155
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 3: get those blake classics. Uh, I'll at Steph Curry's half

1156
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 3: court shot versus the thunder double bank, Oh, double bank

1157
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 3: from Breen. That's you know that, always making the rounds

1158
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 3: and rightfully so. And then this is a bit more

1159
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 3: of a joke one. But uh, shirtless Ben Simmons jumpers

1160
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 3: during the offseason. I get very excited every time. It's

1161
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 3: now a great bit. I believe he's leaning into and

1162
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 3: I'm excited for it. Later this summer when shirts off

1163
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 3: in a smaller gym and he's just cashing threes and

1164
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 3: jumpers on the on the break, man's great one, and

1165
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 3: I will be proudly there on the island, going.

1166
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, buddy, this is the year looking good, looking good Ben.

1167
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 3: I'm convinced he'd kill the NBA if they let him

1168
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 3: play with no shirt on. Holding him back, that's me.

1169
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 3: I think it's got something to do with his back.

1170
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: Too much weight, too much weight on the back, too heavy.

1171
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: Oh those mine, but you got those are great ones.

1172
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 2: So I just watched a few of them just this

1173
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: last week, like the Shawn camp. Yeah yeah, I'm like,

1174
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's coming through, embarrassing somebody and dunk and

1175
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 2: pointing in his face. That's been a while. I haven't

1176
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 2: seen that in twelve months. And the I would say

1177
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: the steph one great shot from half court. I always

1178
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 2: love the dribble through four clippers through Spencer Hawes over

1179
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 2: Chris Paul just back step back, three point shot. That's beautiful.

1180
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 2: Stuff 's Carter over Frederick Feiss. I don't think we

1181
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 2: see enough, maybe because we don't have the rights to

1182
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 2: Olympic Games. But he was literally dumping, dumping over people,

1183
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 2: dunking over people, dumps and dumps. Yeah, dumping dumping over people.

1184
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 2: That was hard to do way back in the day.

1185
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 2: That was astonishing to me. So those are the ones

1186
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: that stand out to me. But there's there's a ton

1187
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: it really is.

1188
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, some good answers from the stream team Ziggy says

1189
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: the Shaq and Kobe duo package that like starts with

1190
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: their feet. But that was just the meme in and

1191
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: of itself. At this point, you already know Russell Westbrook's

1192
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: scoop shot against the Lakers. Remember he shoots it for

1193
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: like twenty feet basically banks it in. That's a good one.

1194
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: Sean Kemp dunks of course. Baron Davis highlights who the

1195
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: Rex Chapman shot where he just throws it and somehow

1196
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 1: goes in the valley oop. Some good stuff. I would

1197
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: also throw in insanity, like starting in the January, end

1198
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: of February, that time of year. Those are fun ones

1199
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: to watch.

1200
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 3: Great great tweet there from Dom. Let's hear your answers.

1201
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 3: Continue to drop him in the stream team, drop me

1202

Speaker 3: go check that out. But Rod was on with Mattio

1208
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 3: and JD going through a number of topics, including confronting

1209
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 3: noisy neighbors. Do you do it or not? It's always

1210
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 3: a tough one. Man that's always struggled with that one too,

1211
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 3: you know, living in like apartments and condos. And I've

1212
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 3: done it once. I did it once. Someone was playing

1213
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 3: rock band, God damn rock band for like the fourth

1214
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 3: week in a row, like that weekend and like the

1215
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 3: four consecutive weekends, and I was just over it. And

1216
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 3: they were shitty at it too.

1217
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not solo for carry on my wayward son,

1218
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty tough.

1219
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: Well it was.

1220
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 3: It was the drum set up too, and they were bad,

1221
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 3: and I went down and gave you a knock on

1222
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 3: the door, said a rock on man.

1223
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 2: But uh, it's.

1224
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 1: Getting a little much god man.

1225
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 3: But I'm guilty. I know we had the rock band session.

1226
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: That's why I've never complained being noisier than they are.

1227
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's at least back into the apartment days.

1228
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyway, check out that I t G with

1229
