Speaker 4: You will, that are very.

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 6: Open about being moved by one particular team, whether they

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: grew up with them or because they're on.

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: Their payroll, and I'm not, so I try to let

54
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: people know that straight up.

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: No, that's that's good.

56
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 6: I am around them an inordinate amount of time, and

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 6: that's been the case for most of the past ten years.

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: So what did you grow up who did you grow

59
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: up being a fan of before became a professional journalist?

60
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 6: You got you gotta remember, I'm from Philly back when

61
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 6: Sean Bradley and Clarence Weatherspoon were an.

62
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: NBA J white, Red and blue.

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, team was, and.

64
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 6: That team was garbage. So local local ties didn't do

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 6: for me. And and I know, Miles, you'll appreciate this.

66
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 6: I mean, eventually my favorite team became whoever was playing

67
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 6: the Lakers, So.

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: Wow, there you go.

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I love that. I love that for I

70
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: love that for everybody, you know.

71
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 6: Even for me though, It's like I just I was

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 6: fans of players and the team lies on.

73
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 4: I was my first favorite player, you know, and.

74
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 6: Glass and and and then you know, I just wanted

75
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 6: to be like appreciative of players and certain teams. So

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 6: I fall out of love with teams, man, And that

77
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 6: was really the case for me, even even early. So

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 6: I'm appreciative when Alan Irison was good or me the

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 6: Sixers good as you say, a, I was.

80
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: Good at at the box, but like you know that.

81
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 6: That associated me with Philly more than any other time.

82
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 6: But man, when they traded him, Yeah.

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: Like all right, I'm off, y'all single tear drop pretty much. Yeah,

84
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: It's easier to be a fan of players too than teams.

85
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: I mean, like, granted, people understand I'm from LA and

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: I have an illness called being a Laker fan, but

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: also I do love I mean like I'm also I

88
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: love Kevin Durant too, and then.

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: I try not to get too bogged down.

90
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: But let's be real, you know, I've I'm I'm definitely

91
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: can be in my bag when the Clippers are doing

92
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: well because I'm insecure.

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 5: And you know what, how many people could say that

94
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: out loud? Right, And that's not in a therapy session,

95
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: you know.

96
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 4: Hey, you remember that Kevin Durant commercial.

97
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 6: I think it was when he was a rookie where

98
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 6: I think from A or whatever up until he was

99
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 6: with the Sonics, he's like taking taking the jerseys off,

100
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 6: that's yeah, I mean, yeah, the.

101
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: Texas one right before and then he comes out on

102
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: the Sonics one.

103
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember that on.

104
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 6: One of the best commercials ever made. Bill, don't think

105
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 6: we do commercials like we used to. No, I'm not

106
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 6: even kidding.

107
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Because nobody watches them because nobody TV.

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: No thrill.

109
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: People will be cutting, core, cutting or whatever.

110
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 6: You know, you can throw your commercial on some thirty

111
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 6: second YouTube spot in between ski.

112
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

113
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: Remember when, like, you know, Nike commercials, especially like Nike

114
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: basketball commercials were like appointment viewing. They're like, yo, they're

115
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: doing that basketball commercial where they're making beats and stuff

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: by squeaking their sneakers and dribbling the ball.

117
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: Commercial doing that commercial game or the fun Police.

118
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: The Fun Police was a great That was a was

119
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: like a perfect Nike basketball commercial.

120
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: I have to say The Fun Police was fantastic.

121
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about a commercial later because I

122
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: think Luca modeled his game after a commercial. Well, we'll

123
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: talk about commercial in a moment.

124
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, iconic commercial nonetheless. But since law you're here, we've

125
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: got you here.

126
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: We got to talk about the state of the Clippers

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 2: forty seven and twenty seven heading into tonight's matchup against

128
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings.

129
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 5: You know, forty three and twenty four with Harden, been

130
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 5: you up your day?

131
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: You're up, you're down, But overall.

132
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 5: I think, you know, it looks like things are coming together. Well,

133
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 5: what do you think?

134
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 6: You know?

135
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 5: I just want to posit this right.

136
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: December and January twenty three and five, February and March

137
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: sixteen and twelve. Now, some people like me rub their

138
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: hands and they go, yes, it's coming apart. But then realistically,

139
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 2: there were some injuries and things like that that would

140
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: if you're being a little bit more objective, that would

141
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: explain those kinds of things. What should we expect from

142
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: the Clippers when we head into like when we get

143
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: to mid March or mid April, Sorry, what do we expect?

144
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see what the postseason field looks like,

145
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 6: both going into the playing tournament and obviously coming out

146
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 6: of it, especially like this Clippers team is to me,

147
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 6: matchup dependent.

148
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: You know, if they get a team that they can score.

149
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 6: On, they're scary that their confidence might have been shaken

150
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 6: a bit. But I honestly just think that they've just

151
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 6: had so many games. Guys have been pushing it all

152
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 6: the top. You know, they were mocks at the end

153
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 6: of last year because they were all said to want

154
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 6: to compete more. You know, try harder, whatever you want

155
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 6: to call it, but no, that's what happened. That's how

156
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 6: you get twenty six and five over the course of

157
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 6: like you said, the beginning of December through the Grammy trip,

158
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 6: because they won the first three years of February, which

159
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 6: is the last games of that road trip, the season

160
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 6: one trip. So that happens because you are, you know,

161
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 6: instead of doing what you did the previous year years,

162
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 6: you know, low advantage guys with valid reasons. Then you know,

163
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 6: one of those guys literally towards damn Aco. You know,

164
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 6: there's a reason he wasn't playing back bets. You know,

165
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 6: people lose jacket app the other has soft issue injuries

166
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 6: every damn year. Like, no, they tried harder, and they

167
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 6: might have peaked a little too soon, but at the

168
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 6: same time, they secured or they're at the point where

169
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 6: they just have to play five hundred basketball, please secure

170
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 6: a top succeed.

171
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: That's where we're at now.

172
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 6: So the very thing that made people go, oh, yeah,

173
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 6: that team can be a problem is the very thing

174
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 6: that has them running on themes a little bit at

175
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 6: this time of the year. It's probably why Kawhi Leonard

176
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 6: is not going to play Tuesday night at Sacramento. But

177
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 6: if they get a matchup where they feel like they

178
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 6: can score, they're going to be a problem. If they

179
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 6: get a matchup like the New Orleans Pelicans, that's they're

180
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: going to have to shift.

181
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: Their narrative a little bit too.

182
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 6: Oh, we're experiencing we have another level because that Pelicans team,

183
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 6: I feel like, can take away the things that make

184
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 6: the Clippers comfortable on that offensive end of the floor.

185
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: And then the Pelicans are big, like their.

186
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 6: Size is going to be a real challenge or a

187
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 6: Clippers team that I think has size at every position

188
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 6: except for power forward.

189
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 4: It just so happens that their power forward is their

190
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 4: best player, Kawhi Leonard.

191
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 6: So the sacrifice that Kawhi has made this year is

192
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 6: he's had instead of having some body like Marcus Morris

193
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 6: or Nicholas Batum getting those bigger being in the small

194
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 6: line of holding things down. Now you're asking, you know,

195
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 6: the guys who are playing two three for most of

196
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 6: the last four years, to be the three fours every again,

197
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 6: that's takes a bit of a physical compromise. So I

198
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 6: think the Clippers do have another level. They have guys

199
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 6: who've been there in the playoffs. They have a head coach,

200
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 6: you've been there in the playoffs. It shows that he's

201
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 6: got stuff that.

202
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: Even the player you know, we had the Finals as

203
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: a player, you know, storied, right, you know what I mean.

204
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 6: But they're not going to be rattled or intimidated by

205
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 6: the moment. We've seen them be down oh two and

206
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 6: may comebacks. So that's the team where it's like, the

207
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 6: Clippers should probably be better than the team that you've

208
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: seen post All Star Break because they know what time

209
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 6: of the year it would be and the desperation level

210
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 6: for that team and that franchise will be a lot

211
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 6: higher than a lot of these other teams as But

212
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 6: for sure.

213
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: The West, there's no there's no safe first round series

214
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: in the West. But there's not a single matchup. Like

215
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: assuming we get Lakers and Sons out of the play in,

216
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: then we've got Pelicans, Dallas, Clippers, Mini Denver. Okay, See,

217
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: like any of those teams could beat the other team

218
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: in a seven game series. I feel like like just

219
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: depending on how hot.

220
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 6: They are, right, and someone's going to miss the playoffs,

221
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 6: you know, yeah, yeah, either the Rockets or Warriors obviously,

222
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 6: you know, two more teams in the playing tournament, Like

223
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 6: there are going to be good teams that are playing

224
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 6: reasonably good basketball right now for several weeks that will

225
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 6: not even make it to the playing tournament, and then

226
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 6: you got two more that won't make it to the

227
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 6: postseason field overall, Like there's no team that you're going

228
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 6: if you're a top four seed, and it's like that's.

229
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 4: We want game one at home, Like okay.

230
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 6: All season you are for your home court advantage just

231
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 6: to lose that job.

232
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the only team that, like Denver

233
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: is probably the one that everybody has on their list

234
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: that they're just like no thing, thank you. But other

235
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: than that, I don't see like I feel like any

236
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: of those teams would feel good about playing any of

237
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: the other ones. Other than so you were mentioning for

238
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: the Clippers, the Pelicans are a kind of counterintuitively bad

239
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: matchup for them, Like they just don't make Yeah.

240
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 6: I've just seen too many as weapons over the past

241
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 6: several years.

242
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So here's my question, because what we

243
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: recorded an episode after I think it was like the

244
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: first game of the playoffs last year, and I was like,

245
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: is Kawhi Leonards still the best player in the league

246
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: at like based on how he played, and I think

247
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: it was like the first two games, maybe got hurt

248
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: in the second game, but he still looked so dominant.

249
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Where would you put him as like he is the

250
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: blank best player in the league, like top ten.

251
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 6: Man, that's tough because I mean, I'm guessing we're having

252
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 6: this conversation for playoff Kawhi, not you know, the Kawhi

253
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 6: that just has to get through the damn season, right,

254
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 6: and again, all the credit to him. This man, this

255
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 6: is the most games, the most minutes, the most dunks

256
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 6: that we see out of Kawhi since he was in

257
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 6: his twenties with the San Antonio Spurts. You know, like

258
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 6: that is I'm excited to see what what he has

259
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,479
Speaker 6: for the playoffs.

260
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: I mean, if you say ten, then that sounds.

261
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 6: Disrespectful, but there's a lot of good players and a

262
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 6: lot of.

263
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 4: Players that have levels, you know, come playoff time. I mean,

264
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: I'll say ten.

265
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 6: I don't really do player rankings like that, try to

266
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 6: position rankings in September when everybody is sleep, But yeah,

267
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 6: I mean at his position, he's top three and.

268
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: Overall, I would I think Tim's a good spot.

269
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: I think I would like put him right now regular

270
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: season ten. But like I said last year, in the

271
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: first game of the playoffs, he was I thought, the

272
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: best player in the league. Like he was unbelievable, like

273
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, in the playoffs. So maybe we get another

274
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Kawhi playoffs and you know he's able to play for

275
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: the whole time, and then the sky is the limit

276
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,239
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. I feel like at that point.

277
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: That's all, that's all anyone wants to see.

278
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 6: You know, who's never finished the playoff series as the

279
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 6: Clippers head coach with both of those guys playing in

280
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 6: the final game.

281
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, And then you know, just looking at

282
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: potential matchups, do you want it with the maps or

283
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: would you rather not?

284
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 5: Based on what we're seeing with Dallas right now.

285
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 6: I mean, look, man, as someone who again I'm gonna

286
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 6: beat it regardless, sure, but like gonna get booked. Shout

287
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 6: out to the athletic Here's how the Clipper should feel.

288
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 6: If you got to play a team like New Orleans,

289
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 6: it's going to be a physical nightmare. You might win

290
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 6: this series, right, your job is not to win one

291
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 6: playoff series for that team. They're trying to win a championship.

292
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 6: It's going to be hard either win. Let me tell

293
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 6: you something about Dallas. They are they are They're beating

294
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 6: teams the way they're supposed to be beating teams.

295
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 4: They are already a powerful offense.

296
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 6: They got more talent at the trade deadline. In a

297
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 6: playoff series, you might want to play Dallas. And this

298
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 6: is not disrespect to you know, the Dallas Mavericks or

299
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 6: the team or the whatever.

300
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: It's just let's just be objective here.

301
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 6: Dallas is an offensively led team, much like the Clippers are,

302
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 6: and so in that kind of matchup, we know Luca

303
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 6: what Luca can do. But in the game of basketball,

304
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 6: your game is deciding on stops, and if you're the Clippers,

305
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 6: it's going to be hard to stop them.

306
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 4: But you are familiar with them.

307
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 6: You are super familiar with Luca, You're super familiar with Kyrie.

308
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: Considering who the head coach of the Clippers is right.

309
00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 6: And literally nobody else on that team concerns you on

310
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 6: any level. Don't concerns you from a shooting perspective, don't

311
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 6: concerns you from an interior offensive perspective. You don't think

312
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 6: any of those dudes can really stop any of the

313
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 6: guys that you have. So yes, Dallas is covered up

314
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 6: in a big way. Luca has been come of age.

315
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 6: He didn't play in the playoffs last year. He will

316
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 6: have an edge. He legitimately hates the Clippers. I can

317
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 6: tell you that, like Luca does not.

318
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 4: No, he's not.

319
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 6: He's a guy who's had his season end multiple times

320
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 6: against the Clippers, dammit. Like that's the reality. He does

321
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: not like that team. He don't like dudes on that

322
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 6: team because they get under his skin and they're not

323
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 6: afraid of him. So you know it's going to be

324
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 6: very It would be another plus series that.

325
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: A lot of people want to see.

326
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 6: I personally do not give a damn, you know, Like,

327
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 6: but if your Clippers are, like yeah, if you see Dallas,

328
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 6: you're you're you're not as bothered as right as the Pelicans,

329
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 6: because again, the Pelicans have won like ten out of

330
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 6: the last twelve Dallas. You literally even this year they

331
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 6: beat they beat the mass who had three times and

332
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 6: the one time they lost they were in the state

333
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 6: of their version of the team that doesn't exist anymore.

334
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and then we're

335
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna step back and take a look around the League

336
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back, and we're back.

337
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: We're back.

338
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Let's stay on the Mavericks for a second. Yeah, they

339
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: snapped Houston's eleven game winning streak. Luca was making scoop

340
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: shots from three point From the three point line, he

341
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: scored forty seven points, twelve boards, six times, nine threes,

342
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: one nineteen foot scoop shot. Wow, that like didn't doesn't

343
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: even like he's got a skill set. I don't even

344
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: know how to describe. Like, you know, we talked about

345
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: shot making, but his is like shot making plus tricks making.

346
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: Like he's got touch both around the rim and touch

347
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: not around the rim, you know, Like that's there's just

348
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: like there's also a clip from Miles that you were

349
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: sharing from the was it the warm up to that game?

350
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, the warm up the yeah yeah, yeah of that.

351
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Game where he made the nineteen foot scoop shot where

352
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: he shot off the JumboTron. Uh and it Rick shatte

353
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: off the JumboTron and went in and not like, oh

354
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: my god, I made that, Like he shot it. He

355
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: goes off the JumboTron and he's already walking away, Yeah,

356
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: because he knows it's going in. What I truly. It

357
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: feels like he saw that McDonald's Larry Bird versus Michael Jordan,

358
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: like horse commercial, right, and.

359
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 3: He saw it.

360
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: He's like, yeah, okay, off the JumboTron, like that.

361
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: Feels like his game is. It's just it doesn't it

362
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. It's wild he has He is like

363
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: some of the best shot making we've ever seen. And

364
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: his teammate is the other person who we always talk

365
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: about having some of the best shots making with Kyrie Irving.

366
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: So they're they're gonna be fun to watch, regardless of

367
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: who they're matched up against.

368
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: It was it was fun just to hear the reactions

369
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: that different different play calling teams are just their reaction

370
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: to that scoop shot. This is the first one from

371
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: the Mavericks side, He's about to hit it and a

372
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: little bit of excitement.

373
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 5: Well, Adrica has done this to many teams his years.

374
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: What little John was there, I think doing a color

375
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: commentary and then this is what it sounds like.

376
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: From the Rockets broadcast when he made that shot. It's

377
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: just sort of like denial.

378
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you gotta go.

379
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: He's he's unbelievable. Yeah, you haven't seen the clip he

380
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: does step through and then just does a underhanded layup

381
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: but from the three point line and yeah, it goes in.

382
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 5: I think it's just like a literacy with them.

383
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 2: It's like jazz, right, you know, like some like players

384
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: can read like the notes, like yeah, I can execute this,

385
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: but some people like I know the scales so well,

386
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 2: like watch mean, just do anything and like work with it.

387
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 5: And I think that's just like why you see.

388
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: Those kinds of shots too, because he's not he's not

389
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: even like limiting himself. He's like, yeah, yeah I'm having that.

390
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Let me try that one too. Yeah, and yeah.

391
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 5: He's got he's got the touch. But yeah, he got

392
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 5: the touch, I mean exactly. Shout out to the Booge Knights.

393
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, you know, we were talking about

394
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference.

395
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: Boston and Milwaukee seems pretty much.

396
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: That's that's fine, It's really about the places underneath them.

397
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: And then yeah, with the Western Conference, it's interesting to

398
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: see six seven eight how that battle plays out. You know,

399
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: we got to talk about book the fifty two points

400
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: in a win over the Pelicans on Monday, and now

401
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: with that fifty two points, he has joined Wilt Chamberlain

402
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: as the only players in NBA history to have three

403
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: consecutive games with at least fifty points against a single opponent,

404
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: which is pretty wild. That just yeah before he was

405
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: fifty two then I think fifty eight in the one

406
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: before that. So one hundred and sixty two points in

407
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: his past three games against the Pelicans, So.

408
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: He's probably looking for that matchup. He's not, he's not

409
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: scared of them. If I guess, there's no no world

410
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: where they're meeting in the first round.

411
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: But that's food brov as they say in London, that's

412
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 5: what he's saying.

413
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got the memo of like how many points

414
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: you're supposed to score if you want. Jalen Brunson did

415
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: not get the memo. Unfortunately, he put up sixty one

416
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: and unfortunately anything in the sixties means your team is

417
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: going to lose this season.

418
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: That's seventy to what you need.

419
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: Went up against the Spurs, wembing Yama had maybe his

420
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: best game. Aren't Brookie is supposed to like wear down

421
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: as the season goes along. He put up forty twenty

422
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: seven assists, three blocks, just all sorts of highlights of

423
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: like just weird things, you know, like those Wemby highlights

424
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: that give you chills a little bit, but like kind

425
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: of make you feel like you have the flu because

426
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: you're just like, what am I even watching? And yet

427
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: one of the stars. The Spurs beat the Knicks and

428
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: Brunson put up sixty one, and you gotta score seventy.

429
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: If you're gonna score sixty, you gotta you gotta get

430
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: to seventy or how you're gonna lose. Those are just

431
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: the rules of the season. Scoring to short yourself. Yeah,

432
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: but I do feel like, so the Knicks are in

433
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: fourth right now, they would be facing Orlando in the

434
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: first round. I just I feel like whatever team Jalen

435
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: Bronson's on, whatever round you intuitively think they're going to

436
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: go to, just give yourself one extra round. That seems

437
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: like where it nets out with him, right, for whatever

438
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: reason he's got that, he's got that plan. The sixers

439
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: rule is second round or not, but like second round

440
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: is the absolute maximum they've been allotted, so purgatory. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

441
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, so the Knicks are going to be interesting.

442
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that They're probably not gonna make the

443
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, but I could see them get into

444
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: the second round.

445
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: I would I mean for the city of New York.

446
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 2: That would be just for the videos that I would

447
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: see outside of Madison Square Garden. I would like to

448
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: see that because they they go off even when they

449
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: just like get into the playoffs recently. So I want

450
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 2: to see the fanfare from the fans for sure if

451
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: that were.

452
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: But the other great performance from this week Lebron tying

453
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: his season high with forty on thirteen of seventeen. That's

454
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: not free throws?

455
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: Good?

456
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: Is that a typo seventeen field goals?

457
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

458
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Oh? But nine from ten from the nine for ten

459
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. Oh no, that's no three,

460
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: the three the three throw line, the three throw Yeah.

461
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know he that. That has been the question

462
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: is like, is he pacing himself? Is he going to

463
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: suddenly like turn it on towards the end of the season,

464
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: And that game certainly looked like it.

465
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: Oh man, that that corner three is just a heat

466
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: checked three. He had it the last one he took.

467
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: I was like, that's the Lebron James that we need

468
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: If I'm going to keep this delusion going for another

469
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: few weeks, Please please Lah, what's well, what's your perspective?

470
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: What do you what do you think what's going on

471
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: going on with Bron?

472
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 4: Is it just a it?

473
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: Is it like?

474
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 2: Is it just that part of his career where we

475
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: get these flashes or you think he's doing the thing

476
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: like now he's being more sort of intentional about where

477
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 2: he's when he turns up the dial and turns it

478
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: back down.

479
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 4: I Mean, look, if it wasn't for like every national

480
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 4: broadcast reminding you how old Lebron is, wouldn't know base

481
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: off of how he's playing, right, Like, dudes only shot

482
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: forty three one year of his entire career, and that

483
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: was his tenth NBA season in Miami, when you know,

484
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 4: he was basically on top of the world right about

485
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 4: winning second Street Finals MVP.

486
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 6: Obviously that comes with the championship after the Olympic gold

487
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 6: medal that.

488
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: He got with with the twenty twenty twelfth team, So.

489
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 6: He was you can really say, like, if you wanted

490
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 6: to say that was the best version of Lebron, you

491
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 6: can say that, right. I mean, he's shooting a career

492
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 6: high from three while shooting more threes than he shot

493
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 6: that year. That to me is a player who understands

494
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 6: that they don't have, you know, as long to play,

495
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 6: but at the same time, it's still the goat. You know,

496
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 6: like Bron's got more ducks this year than he did

497
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 6: last year. Okay, he's playing with so many offensively skilled dudes,

498
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 6: Like this is the team Maggic Johnson probably thought he

499
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 6: wanted to put together when he was like, we don't

500
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 6: need shooters, we need ball handlers. Well, they got ball handlers.

501
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: Who can shoot. So this is one of the this

502
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 4: is it's a hard team to defend right now.

503
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

504
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: Now, on the other end, their food and you know.

505
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: That's there.

506
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's going to be a that's going to.

507
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 6: Be something they got to figure out depending on their

508
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 6: playoff matchup. But the benefit there is Lebron also doesn't foul.

509
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 6: I think we've noticed that all right, Right, Like those

510
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 6: guys him and Ad they can play thirty thirty five.

511
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: Minutes and they won't pick up multiple thousand in the game.

512
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 6: And they're playing the biggest positions on the on the floor.

513
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: So it's just funny how that goes.

514
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, Lebron, he's reached a point where he knows

515
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 6: he's a computer, right, you knows he's supposed to be.

516
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 6: He knows where the defense is supposed to be, he

517
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 6: knows where his teammates supposed to be. He can make

518
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 6: threes at this high clip. And then because you have

519
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 6: so much attention on all these other guys who can

520
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 6: make shots, who can handle and pass the basketball, he's

521
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 6: still getting his stuff easy, right, And I mean that

522
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 6: I don't think there's a pace to it, like that's

523
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 6: your pace. Your pace is Lebron's not the guy who

524
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 6: has to create every damn play. You know, this isn't

525
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 6: the twenty eighteen finals. Cats like Lebron can chill pretty

526
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 6: much and get his stuff and again, it's gonna be

527
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 6: fast and to see who they mass up in the playoffs.

528
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: But you saw what last year they were seven.

529
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 6: That Memphis Grizzly team didn't have the size, or the experience,

530
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 6: or the poise or darkly the coaching, and they wound

531
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: up taking care of a high seed pretty easily. It

532
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 6: can happen again this year.

533
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if you had to pick like two dark

534
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: horse teams from the West, because I mean, I don't

535
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: even know if it's dark horse, right, not one of

536
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: the top so not one of the top three seeds.

537
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: That you could see making a run. Who would you pick?

538
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I gotta go with the Clippers.

539
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 6: They're not going to be a top three seed, and

540
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 6: they are going to get a lot of we don't

541
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 6: believe in them, you know, And I could see them

542
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 6: making a run.

543
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 4: I really could see them making a run.

544
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 6: The other team that I would have to that I

545
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 6: would have to pick, it's tough because I mean, shoot,

546
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 6: I probably would go with the Lakers. We saw it

547
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 6: last year. We saw it last year. I really feel

548
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 6: like that team in a seven game series is going

549
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 6: to be a real problem for somebody, possibly multiple teams,

550
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 6: And if they can avoid Denver somehow, they're going to

551
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 6: have a path where they can feel like, well, we've

552
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 6: beaten these teams multiple times, Like the Nuggets are probably

553
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 6: the only team that has given the Lakers.

554
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 5: A real challenge.

555
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 6: And so that's weird to say for a team that

556
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 6: right now needs to win two games in the playing

557
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 6: tournament just to qualify, right right. I would have said

558
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 6: the Pelicans if Brandon was healthy right now, but I

559
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 6: just I can't do that with Brandon not guaranteed to

560
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 6: be ready, Like I think he'll be re evaluated this week,

561
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: but we all know what that does not mean.

562
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: It does not guarantee that he'll be ready.

563
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, the East in.

564
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 4: The East, man, I wish the Magic had more experience.

565
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: I really like that team.

566
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 6: I really like how their defense. First they're huge, Uh

567
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 6: they can't shoot and they still be cheating. The East

568
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 6: is is like I really don't like talking about the East.

569
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 6: The Celtics something.

570
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: It really is.

571
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 6: It's something to anybody else, Like, you know, everyone's going

572
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 6: to give the Heat undue, you know, respect, because of

573
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,479
Speaker 6: the well that they've been on. Will the Heat make

574
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 6: the playoffs? Are they making it out the playing tournament?

575
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 6: Like we gotta see. I mean, the Sixers are going

576
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 6: to get Joel back, And I actually am excited if

577
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 6: Joel is truly healthy because he's coming back to a

578
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 6: better team than he left. Like he didn't play with

579
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 6: Buddy gild he played with Marcus Wurtz.

580
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a big difference there.

581
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 6: He's going to be, you know, like Tyreee is going

582
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 6: to get a lot of relief. They have they have wings,

583
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 6: they have size. That killy you Bray was you know,

584
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 6: finding his way after that weird accent in in Center

585
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 6: City Philadelphia. Now, like guys have been playing. Uh, and

586
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 6: Joelle's coming back to that team. I think that could

587
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 6: be a team that can make a run. So and

588
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 6: it's a different head coach. So but right now, the

589
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: East just doesn't They don't do it for me as

590
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 6: far as dark horses like I just yeah, it feels

591
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 6: pretty set.

592
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

593
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Sure, So two teams with the red, white and blue

594
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: color way trutier origins the Lakers, you know, so the

595
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: true American, true American appreciate that. Appreciate Yeah, I mean

596
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: Mbat's coming back. I didn't even want to mention it

597
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: because it's uh, you know, I don't want to jinx it.

598
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: We don't know all the details, but yeah, it'll be

599
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: it'll be very interesting like that first came back just

600
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: to see because we have where his body is so

601
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: big that it often takes him some time to like

602
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: get used to moving it get around basketball court.

603
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 4: So he's got a good two weeks to figure that out.

604
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, sure, so that shouldn't be a problem. Uh,

605
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: Sixers going going to the finals. That's my prediction there.

606
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: It is here first.

607
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: A Lakers Sixers.

608
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

609
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: back and We'll put Law in.

610
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: The hot seat for the hottest questions right after this.

00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,160

Speaker 2: But it is time to put you in the hot seat.

614
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 2: It's the fourth quarter. It's the rapid fire round of questioning.

615
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: This is the fastest questions and answer segment in all

616
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: podcasts sports history.

617
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,560

Speaker 2: will be back.

Speaker 5: have a better idea of what the playoff picture looks like.

789
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,680

790
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,640
