Speaker 6: somehow like sixty four people worse. So he said, that's yeah.

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 6: Maybe they didn't actually complete. Oh yeah, I actually couldn't see.

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,680

00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 6: the top five hundred in the standings, so I just

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,440

46

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,079

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 6: we got off to a rough start, like Trey said,

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 6: but a lot of fun. Did you watch?

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I can't imagine though I saw, I didn't

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: know the a ton of opposits and things happening there.

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: So imagine whoever.

56
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 6: Is well the one you wanted Saint Peter's yeah, and

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 6: their funny litt mustache. Yes, they're still alive.

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: I talked, Yeah, so that's the white guys though, you know,

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: but that's the thing. Whoever's leading must have less idea

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: than us, because I must have been picking my.

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

62
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 3: Well, because the Kentucky's at and is Duke had as well?

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 6: No, no, no, Kentucky's out? Yeah, and then are our

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 6: wild Iowa State to win it all? Pick No, i

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 6: State is actually still alive anyway.

66
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: All right, we've got the leader right now is the

67
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: four one two kid who's got Kansas in the championship

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: winning the championship and Kansas and Duke the other the

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: other final member here still available. All four teams in

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the final four before one two kid is looking good.

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I watched a little of this basketball tournament over the weekend.

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: The main thing that stuck out to me, this is

73
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: the orangest basketball you have ever seen. It looks like

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: it's glowing, and it was apparently on purpose, you know,

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: like Wilson came out with some cool, fancy basketball using

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: all of their latest basketball tech. It dribbles truer than

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: any ball before. But also they made an extra orange

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: so it sticks out on TV. It looks like everybody's

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: on fire.

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 6: It has resulted in too, I think three or something

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 6: like that in at least the men's bracket.

82
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, great, So it was a good weekend, and

83
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: it's a good weekend for basketballing. The Zags were fun.

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 7: Drew Timmy, tim he.

85
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Looks like Scottie Barnes out there, the way he dinks

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: and dumps, and he's.

87
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 7: Fifteen years older than Scottie Barnes.

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's great. Yeah, great speech afterwards,

89
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: he said, He said, at halftime, he told his guys,

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't give a flying f what happens out there.

91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna try flying f He bleeped him. Yeah, that

92
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: was great. That was against Memphis. They Memphis almost beat them.

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: It was a really good Gape.

94
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: Tiger's there almost rough week in for Memphis in Atlanta.

95
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 6: Anyway, the Fortress on Friday night, the Hawks took care

96
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 6: of them. No Tree Young.

97
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: No. It was surprisingly a bit of a flat game,

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: wasn't it. Really? No one had the Hawks blowing out

99
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies without Trey Young. But we did have a

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: great moment that you guys would all appreciate here because

101
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: just before tip off, someone came running up the stairs

102
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: that we both recognized, so Foster, so we stopped him,

103
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: gave him a little like dap up, but he was

104
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: in a rush. Oh yeah, sir Foster. Before the game.

105
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 6: It was yeah, even tried like get a selfie, but yeah,

106
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 6: like Lee was like as he was running away, like

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 6: could we get a photo when he was along, guy,

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 6: He's like he's already out the urinal.

109
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to stop him, and that's

110
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: what we call it.

111
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 6: He was very excited.

112
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: We like, we saw faster, take us faster, and.

113
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 6: It's pretty of me that have been the highlight of

114
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 6: the game. It was pretty flat, but I mean, great

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 6: win for the Hawks, and they followed up with an

116
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 6: l of course, but yeah, just it was lacking something there.

117
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: We just kept saying that this is great, this is great.

118
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: The Hawks up twenty. You know that Grizzly is going

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: to make a run Jason to turn it on. He

120
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: had some nice moments, but none of those like classic

121
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 3: job moments.

122
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, the most hilarious part was standing room only, of course,

123
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 6: the only way he knows how to do. And I'm

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 6: there with them having a blast, having a beer, and

125
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 6: every time the Grizzlies would like, maybe get ready to

126
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 6: go in transition, Lee would like fumble for his phone

127
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 6: and then try and record because he's excited. John's going

128
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 6: to do something you know in transition, but never really happened.

129
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 6: If it did, you definitely missed it.

130
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: Even in the pregame warmups. He threw it high up

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: off the you know, to bounce it in to throw

132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: it in the reverse and he missed it. Yeah tough. Okay.

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 7: How was the green Egg though?

134
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, any customers, I didn't wheel the green Egg down there.

135
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 6: Okay, let's get into our actual winners and losers of

136
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 6: the NBA Weekend.

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: Was a winner, No, I think the advertisers, the advertisers

138
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: who put two ads at the top of this show.

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: Because I'm convinced. They thought we're gonna talk about nc

140
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: double A this week. Two ads off the top of

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: the show. They must think it's an NCAA show. And

142
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: then people at the athletic set that basketball throwing a

143
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: couple there off the top. That's fine, they're winners because

144
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: we talked thataa Friday minutes and then a green egg.

145
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: It's true integration. I don't know.

146
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 6: Could you have for your big NBA all the weekend?

147
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Oh there is a perfect weekend for the Timberwolves of Minnesota.

148
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: They just kept picking up half games left and right

149
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: all weekend. Friday night they didn't even play, and they

150
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: improved their position. The MAVs lost at the seventy six ers.

151
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Nuggets lost to the Calves. That's like hitting a good

152
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: card out of the community chest when you're playing Monopoly.

153
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: A bank error in the Timberwolves favor helped them out Friday.

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: On Saturday night, oh easy, they helped themselves out. The

155
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Bucks came to Minnesota, No Yannis. The Bucks are trying

156
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: to manage a little right knee soreness for their MVP candidate,

157
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: and the Timberwolves took an advantage of that opportunity. Twenty

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: five points, eleven rebounds, five assists for Karl Anthony Towns

159
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: twenty five points, four assists, three steals for Anthony Edwards.

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: He had twelve points in the first quarter, looked great,

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: threw down a nice windmill dunk as well. Sixteen points

162
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: nine assists for D'Angelo Russell. Meanwhile, nobody on the Bucks

163
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: scored more than fifteen points on the night. The Timberwolves

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: were quicker to the ball all night. They had so

165
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: many weird bounces where like it almost looked like somebody

166
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: was shooting an air ball. It would just tip the

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: rim and fall right to a Timberwolf who would be

168
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: able to finish at the rim. They also hit twenty

169
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: two of forty seven from three. It was just their

170
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: night in a dominating win one thirty eight to one nineteen.

171
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: This game had it all, had some drama in the

172
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: first quarter surge of Baca and Tory and Prince get

173
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: into it. Patrick Beverly sprints over from forty feet away

174
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: and just pushes a baka. He ended up getting ejected,

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: as did a Baca Abacca digget it yep. George Georgeill

176
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: got ejected because he got in the mix as well,

177
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: pushing Beverly after Beverly ran over a baca. I think

178
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: got a technical and maybe there was also a double

179
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: file or something like that, but I don't know. I

180
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: have my problems with Patrick Beverly, but but he's bringing

181
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: some swag in chemistry, no doubt, to the Timberwolves, and

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I didn't even mind that one. It's like, if you're

183
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna get kicked out, at least make it a cool

184
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: way of getting kicked out. Also had some comedy too.

185
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: After the game, Karl Anthony Towns and Brook Lopez took

186
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: this classic jersey swamp photo. But else you'll see here

187
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: on YouTube, they didn't actually swap their jerseys. Apparently Carl

188
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: Towns's jersey was already going to be raffled away for charity,

189
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: sold for eighty one hundred dollars for the Fast Break Foundation,

190
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: which is great for them and also just a hilarious picture.

191
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: I imagine Brook Lopez got a kick out of. This

192
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: turned out to be Minnesota's tenth win in eleven games.

193
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: They're calling themselves Minnesota on Twitter. Flipped it over pretty good,

194
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: and it still gets better because Dallas lost to the Hornets.

195
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: On Saturday, the Nuggets lost to the Celtics on Sunday,

196
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: which means the Timberwolves have finally clawed themselves out of

197
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: the play and into the real playoffs. Currently the sixth

198
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: seed right now tied with Denver, but they got a

199
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: two to one tiebreaker and the game and a half

200
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: back of Dallas for the fifth seed. Timberwolves have been

201
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: playing great, they just haven't gotten many breaks with regards

202
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: to the Nuggets and the Mavericks playing so well. They

203
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: finally got a break this weekend and they did a

204
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: good job winning their one game that they needed to win.

205
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: Everybody's a Timberwolves fan right now. I know they're going

206
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: crazy in the stream team right now. I've never seen

207
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: such a wolf pack.

208
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, what do you think? Lee of Minnesota's weekend?

209
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: It was a fantastic weekend for them, and it could

210
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: really get even better because two of their next three

211
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: games are against the Mavericks. They win both of those,

212
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: and they've got the Suns in between that, then they

213
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: got Celtics, so it's a tough schedule, but if they

214
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: can win those games against the Mavericks, then they can

215
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: almost sort of get themselves out of playoff, but play

216
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: in contention, which is I think the ultimate goal here.

217
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: They don't want to have to face anyone in that plane.

218
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: They could still win. They should do it. They've been

219
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: the best team out.

220
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: They should be a Clippers in a way.

221
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: They should, but it's just such a it's an unknown

222
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: thing with the Wolves because they've only been that one

223
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: time with Kyle Anthony town so they've been playing great.

224
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: The Patrick Beverley thing, I mean, he just have to

225
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: get thrown out for just being a dickhead and just

226
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: like you didn't need to come in and it's third

227
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: man ruling hockey, isn't it. It's like there was there

228
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: was nothing really happening in that scuff. Well, he comes

229
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: in and pushes and I think the rest is just like,

230
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 3: let's just get out just being an idiot tonight. I mean,

231
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: I've talked glowingly about what Patrick Beverley brings to this team,

232
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: and in this game it didn't cost them. But if

233
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: he behaves like that in a playoff game, let's say

234
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: it is this, you know one and done playing, that

235
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: could cost his team because there was absolutely no reason

236
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 3: for him to come in and escalate that to that. So, yes,

237
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverley, I've said before, fifty percent of me loves him,

238
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: fifteen percent of me can't stand him when he does

239
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: these things. It didn't cost his team, but you got

240
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: away with one, I think there because this was a

241
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: very convincing performance otherwise from Minnesota.

242
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't watching it live, but my man Deve

243
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: said and said, did you see what Patrick Beverly did?

244
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: And I thought, you know, considering all the stuff he's

245
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: done in the past week, that it must have been

246
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: really bad for him. For my man sentence to see

247
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: it that way sound is just a gentle push. But

248
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: I was as soon as he said that, I was

249
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: ready to jump on the anti Patrick Beverly pandwagon. You know,

250
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: it's a pendulum, baby, it's been swinging in the right direction.

251
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: It could swing in the wrong direction. But this was

252
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 2: about already defending his teammate get tossed. You know, he shouldn't.

253
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: That shouldn't happen in the playoffs. But yeah, this is

254
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: a glowing night to drop one hundred and thirty eight

255
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: against a Bucks team. It's still a professional team without

256
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: Giannis on the defensive end. Still, that is a lot

257
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: of points, and Towns felt like he was the best

258
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: player on the floor in that game. I think that

259
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: was clear going back and watching this and that's that's

260
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: what the Wolves desperately need. They need that every single night.

261
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: We talked about the beginning of the season and thinking

262
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: back the first forty games that this is Anthony Edwards team.

263
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, man has that flipped, Karl Anthony Towns has

264
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: shown how fricking Grady is and that's what they're gonna

265
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: need going into the postseason. And Dallas hasn't been playing well,

266
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: so this that bodes well for this week for the Wolves.

267
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 6: You're absolutely right, though. It feels like this is a

268
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 6: team a lot of people are cheering for, and it's

269
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 6: because they've had, you know, so little playoff success. I mean,

270
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 6: making it the one time when Jimmy was there, it

271
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 6: was col Anthony Towns. Like you said, but like, I'm

272
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 6: all in. I love it. I love seeing their fan

273
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 6: base rabid pun intended going nuts over the Wolfpack here.

274
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 6: And I hope they do sort of remain out of

275
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 6: the play in and actually in the playoffs, and I

276
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 6: think they're gonna put up one hell of a fight

277
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 6: whoever they play in a first round series, be at

278
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 6: a three to six matchup. Even if they get up

279
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 6: to five and a four or five, it's like that's

280
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 6: gonna be I think will be like a six seven

281
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 6: game series easily, and who knows which way it goes.

282
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 6: The way they're playing right now, Yeah, if they're playing

283
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 6: with some confidence, and part of that obviously comes by

284
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 6: way of a guy like Patrick Beverley with his sort

285
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: of just attitude. But then Karl Anthony Towns, like you said, Hey,

286
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 6: I might be the best player out here on any

287
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 6: given night. Anthony Edwards plays that way as well, so

288
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 6: you know they're gonna be playing with a little bit

289
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 6: of nothing to lose attitude.

290
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if you look at a team like the Warriors,

291
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: you know, Steph might not be and healthy Clay is

292
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 3: still trying to figure it out, Wiggins has been unconvincing,

293
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: and even Draymond is sort of coming back, So that

294
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: could be the best time to play the Warriors. And

295
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: then look at the Grizzlies. As great as they've been,

296
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: they haven't proven anything yet in the playoffs, so it

297
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 3: doesn't really matter where it is for the Wolves. They

298
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: gonna feel at this point pretty good against one of

299
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: those things, right.

300
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 6: But you did say it. I think of those teams

301
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 6: like the Mavericks and the Nuggets. Even with the Wolves,

302
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 6: Minnesota has the toughest schedule still remaining, So I mean

303
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 6: they got us still win these games get in and

304
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 6: those head to heads are obviously massive. Yeah, tass, Who

305
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 6: do you have for a winner of the weekend?

306
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: Well, I was in Toronto for the weekend, and I

307
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: think I needed to be in Toronto on Canadian soil

308
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: to really understand what Scotty Barnes is all about. We

309
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: talked about on Friday the Rookie of the Year race.

310
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: I proclaimed Evan Mobley the winner and that Scotty was in,

311
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: you know, the two to three seed with Kate Cunningham.

312
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: And then Friday night against the Lakers, he had his

313
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: career high where he was controlling, controlling the game a

314
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: lot coming down to the fourth quarter in those last

315
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: few minutes. He's just so good with the ball in

316
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: his hands. He's got a lot of responsibility. He can

317
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: either you know, get into the lane and dink and dump,

318
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: or he's so good at driving, putting the ball way

319
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: over his head and taking some hits into the body

320
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: and then throwing it up. And then if he's not

321
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: part of the play, of course he will be part

322
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: of the play. He makes himself known on the glass.

323
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: He had seventeen boards in this game to go along

324
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: with six assists. Just a great night for Scotty Barnes. Yeah,

325
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. The banks are

326
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: open late in Canada. Lebron with that crazy three there late,

327
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: but yeah, he was solid in that game. So just

328
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: to add that, I still think Evan Mobley is the

329
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: guy with the whole package. But going into Sunday, the

330
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: Reps they bounced back. Baby. They played the Sixers on

331
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: the road and they showed why nobody really wants to

332
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: play this team because they can just get so gritty.

333
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: You think Joel Embiid led offense against this team that

334
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: only plays six to nine guys would find a way

335
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 2: to mash the Raptors. But Scotty Barnes did a very

336
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: good job on James Harden again coming down the stretch.

337
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: Had to guard James Harden. He was only six of

338
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: twenty and then Joel Embiid was going up against the

339
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: precious a Chua. They got that little relationship, the Nigerian

340
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: Cam Rooney relationship and pressure that you had no problem,

341
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: no problem trying to guard him. Obviously, and Bid just

342
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: missed some shots. But as soon as they put the

343
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: ball on the floor, Nick Nurse had his guys just

344
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: going at Embiid and there they're solid. They're very, very

345
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: solid six of twenty on defense. I'm sorry for Embiid

346
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: on this night. So the Raptors didn't allow Embid or

347
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: Harden to score over twenty one. The seventy six ers

348
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: are eight and three with James Harden, but it doesn't

349
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 2: feel like a very good eight and three whatsoever. Jimmy

350
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: James was passing off a lot in this game, and

351
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: the Raps did a good job, including Scotty Barnes, just

352
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: to get an ugly, ugly, ugly win. And you can

353
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: see that going to the postseason.

354
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, that guy felt like a postseason game. That's what

355
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 6: you're gonna see I think from Raptors games in the postseason.

356
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: Straggling and again, Scotty Barnes came back to earth in

357
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: this game six to twenty one on thirteen points. I

358
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: think he's feeling so good he's starting to pull up

359
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: a lot from three point land or just pull up

360
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: and off the dribble. That's not him. He that's just

361
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: not his game. Quite yet, but he's you know, he's

362
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: feeling good, and obviously he's going to get better come

363
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: the off season. So you know, the Wraps an up

364
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: and down weekend, just like the Lakers an up and

365
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: down weekend. But you know, they gotta feel good. They've

366
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: got to feel good going into the poor season that

367
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: they can know that they know they can win with

368
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: defense and with no Fred out there, you know, one

369
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: and one's a fine weekend.

370
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gotta clanked a couple of free throws late

371
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: and this one sort of precious miss one, so the

372
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: Raptors nearly blew it, even though they sort of had

373
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: control there. But yeah, I think the Raptors right now

374
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: are feeling pretty good. Fred. The injury is a bit

375
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: of a concern because it is that knee, and again

376
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 3: he's played a ton of minutes, so we'll see how

377
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: that sort of works out. But overall, I think a

378
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: pretty good bounce back. I don't know if the Raptors

379
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: just took their eyef the ball against the Lakers on

380
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 3: Friday night, but Russell hit that big three.

381
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 6: It was Drake was shocked.

382
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean everyone was shot because it was like.

383
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: You would live at the corner. You're just at the

384
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: corner of the back.

385
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: You would live with that shot every single time, you say, fine,

386
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 3: take that shot to win or to tie the game

387
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: at least. And they did so good on Russ. They celebrated.

388
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: Then they lost to the Wizards the next time, Yes,

389
00:17:59,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: they did.

390
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 7: So it is, you know, some funny stuff.

391
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Lebron claiming that when he saw Scotty Barnes play in

392
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: seventh grade that he instantly knew he was going to.

393
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 7: Be a star.

394
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: Very funny, trumped by Scotty Barnes saying that he likes

395
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 1: Kobe more than Lebron even though Scotty Barnes grew up

396
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: in Florida, he would have been like ten or eleven

397
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: years old.

398
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 7: When Lebron won his first title with the Heat.

399
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe he's more of a Orlando Magic

400
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: fan growing up, but that was very.

401
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 7: Funny to me.

402
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: And then a nice scrap out when for the Raptors yesterday,

403
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: twenty offensive rebounds against the Sixers, who obviously had a

404
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: huge dude in Joel Embiid, fifty points in the paint,

405
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: eighteen second chance points, Like they just out physical a

406
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: team that's bigger than them, So that's super impressive.

407
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 6: And it did look great when they started that game.

408
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: They were down in a big hole against Philly last night,

409
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 6: but got back into it and precious a twa. I mean,

410
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 6: this is the guy that some Raps fans were getting

411
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 6: excited about when they did the you know, the sign

412
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 6: and trade there with the heat and Lowry goes there

413
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 6: and yeah, Gordon Dragic comes back. That's contract reasons. You know,

414
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 6: he's obviously barely even played and it was gone, but

415
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 6: was precious as the piece where you're like, you know,

416
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 6: if you watched him on Miami, You're like, there's something here.

417
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 6: And then he just got off to a brutal start

418
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 6: to start the season with Tronto. And I mean I

419
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 6: remember talking here going like this guy keeps watching like

420
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 6: can't catch the ball, He's like missing bunnies and.

421
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: Like run and dribble.

422
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he is on a tear right now. Suddenly

423
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 6: you can't miss from three. And then the defensive presidents

424
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 6: like you guys were pointing out against him be last night.

425
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 6: He just looks like a completely different player, I would say,

426
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 6: over the last couple of weeks, which is a huge

427
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 6: boon for the Raptors.

428
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Nick Nurses, I think has done a good

429
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: job sort of trust him, because early on there was

430
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 3: a few times his decision making was awful and you thought,

431
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 3: how much longer can he keep this guy out there for?

432
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: So he's obviously shown some trust in him, he's worked

433
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 3: with him, and now Precious is repaying it.

434
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, Lee, Who do you have for a

435
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 6: winner of the weekend?

436
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: The team that is still just continuing to roll as

437
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: the Boston Celtics right now, another fantastic week Ah, they

438
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: beat the stick Kings, who cares? But last night in

439
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: Denver they absolutely pounded the Nuggets. I mean, this one's

440
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: over in the first half. It was an absolute blood

441
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: bath there against the team that is also struggling. And

442
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: if you look at just thefficiency here of the way

443
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 3: the Celtics played fifty seven percent. They shot from the

444
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 3: field nineteen for forty from three, so that's forty seven percent,

445
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: eleven for eleven from the line. I mean, there wasn't

446
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 3: tons of free throws because this game was over. And

447
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: then they just didn't turn it over eight times in

448
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: there last night twenty nine to six thirty eight reb

449
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 3: They just suffocated Nikola jokicch and the Nuggets and it

450
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: wasn't even close. And I like the way that they

451
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 3: defended Jokiic. He had one of his worst performances because

452
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: he just could never get going. And it was Robert Williams,

453
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: Grant al Horford, they all had to go at him

454
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 3: after the games, Grant Williams calling himself Batman because he

455
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 3: stopped the joker. Even his own teammates Jaalen Brown and

456
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: Jason tam we're really feeling it the Celtics, like on

457
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 3: you know, their defense is incredible right now, but on offense,

458
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: the way that that Baurn moves, everyone knows exactly what

459
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: the play is, who's getting the shot, where it's going to,

460
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: and they just look almost unguardable. The Nuggets, certainly yesterday

461
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: had absolutely no answer whatsoever. And it gets even better

462
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: here for the Celtics because they are now two games

463
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: clear of Chicago for fifth, They are tied with Philadelphia

464
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 3: for third, three and a half games back of Miami,

465
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: who's the leader, and only half a game back of

466
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: the Bucks. The Celtics could finish second, Yeah, they absolutely could.

467
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: They've got the Thunder next, so that.

468
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 6: They've won something like twenty one or twenty five games,

469
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 6: and like they're one of the most dominant twenty five

470
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 6: game runs of all time in terms of just point differentially. Yeah,

471
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 6: hammering team.

472
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: And the eye test certainly backs that up. There's no

473
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: sort of lucky wins. There's no like, oh, they're beating

474
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: up on all bad teams. They're playing some good teams

475
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: here and beating them. Yeah. So they've got the Thunder next,

476
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 3: then they've got Utah and then Minnesota, so you know,

477
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: that's a couple of tougher games there, but after that

478
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 3: they've got a reasonable schedule here to close out. They

479
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: do play Miami once and Milwaukee. But I can see

480
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 3: Boston right now. They don't have any significant injuries. They're

481
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 3: playing really, really well. I can see them slipping into

482
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 3: second in view.

483
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 6: Are they a total contender in the bus and Celtics?

484
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 6: Do they need to be included, you know, on the

485
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 6: shortlist there of teams that could actually win this whole thing?

486
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 6: What do you think?

487
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 7: I think?

488
00:21:58,920 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 3: So?

489
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: I think they played great defense, and then they got

490
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: a guy in Jason Tatum who can go for thirty

491
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: any night. He had thirty against the Nuggets, as did

492
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. Like, if you're able to get thirty from

493
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: two separate players, and you play defense the way the

494
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Celtics do, you're certainly a contender in my book, especially

495
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: because they've got mostly solid players the entire way through

496
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard. He's like, they're only small guy out there,

497
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: and he's shooting the ball incredibly well right now. So

498
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, maybe come playoff time, teams get a lot

499
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: more daring about, like trying to have Marcus Smart beat him,

500
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: trying to you know, target their two bigs line up,

501
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: like trying to put sorry Robert Williams into stuff, maybe

502
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: attacking Grant Williams just because he's a little slow of

503
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: foot sometimes. So there are things that will get tougher,

504
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: I think for the Celtics in the playoffs. But I

505
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: mean they're on a roll right now. Their fans were

506
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: so loud in Denver that Mike Malone said it was

507
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: a Celtics' home game. Nice stuff that was loud, Like

508
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: there was some loud MVP chance for Jason Tatum. Yeah,

509
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: and there's an MVP candidate playing for the Nuggets.

510
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 6: What it last while, Yeah, it's the actual MVP at least,

511
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 6: still raigning anything to add to Boston here.

512
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think the beauty of the Eastern Conference. A

513
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: lot of the time we come into playoffs and say

514
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 2: that's wide open, you know, like we feel like these

515
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: second tier teams, like if they're not part of the

516
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: absolute top that we still think they can get in,

517
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 2: but when it comes down to it, they can't. But

518
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: in this instance, it really feels like any of these

519
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: teams can get through. And I think that includes the

520
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: Boston Selecs. I think they do a good job with

521
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: the Bigs in the Eastern Conference that seem unstoppable and

522
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: Joel embiide Yannista Kompo. They've got that sort of defensive advantage.

523
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: So really, I think anybody can win a couple series

524
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: and blow through. It's I don't think there is by

525
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: far and away a number one team in the East.

526
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: The Bucks should be the favorite.

527
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 6: So you get there, you're putting Miami, You're putting Milwaukee.

528
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 6: Sounds like you're probably still putting Philly though maybe you're

529
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 6: questioning there a little bit. For sure, you're obviously including

530
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 6: Boston at this point.

531
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 2: It's wide open.

532
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 6: And then what the Brooklyn Nets factor with Kevin Durant

533
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 6: of course Kyrie. Yeah, and I didn't stop there or like,

534
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 6: are the bulls in there or the raptors in there?

535
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 6: Probably I think you're starting to cut it there.

536
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably starting to cut it there.

537
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well five teams.

538
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, it feels like again, any of those

539
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: teams can falter though at the top. So yeah, why

540
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: can't the bulls get hot? The problem is where you

541
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: do have to get into a flow before the playoffs.

542
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it has to happen at some point, especially

543
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: because your first round matchup is kind of tough. So

544
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: the Celtics, the fact that they've won twenty one to

545
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 2: twenty five, they gotta feel good.

546
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: I got a few mini winners here. Let's get to

547
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 6: Lebron all right, finally for somebody in the stream team

548
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 6: freaking out, when are you gonna talk about Lebron? Let's

549
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 6: talk about Lebron. Okay, he passed Karme alone. He's now

550
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 6: number two on the scoring list, so he's done it.

551
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 6: He entered Saturday night just nineteen points behind Karmelone's thirty

552
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 6: six and twenty eight, which has stood as the second

553
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 6: most in NBA history for like two decades. Yeah, but

554
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 6: Lebron played in this game after heavy minutes, you know,

555
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 6: the game. Before Trey you had said, I don't think

556
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 6: he's gonna play against Washington because it was a little

557
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 6: backback situation. He'll probably then play against Cleveland tonight and

558
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 6: instead Nope, Saturday night, Lebron, I guess through warm ups

559
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 6: felt good. He said let's give it a go and

560
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 6: easily got to the point mark and passing Karl Malone.

561
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 6: It was funny because we had a debate what they

562
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 6: were going to do when he did that. Now I

563
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 6: know it happens on the road here, but they didn't

564
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 6: stop the game. Game continued. Then there was a foul

565
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 6: satur Aansky. He was upset about the foul. He kind

566
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 6: of complained about that Lebron did and then they put

567
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 6: it up obviously on the on the big screen that

568
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 6: he's just passed Karmelone in nice little standing ovation. But

569
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 6: there was no stoppage, there was no gameplay. I know

570
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 6: we were having that debate what they were actually gonna do,

571
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 6: and in the end they really didn't do much at all,

572
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 6: just sapt hey, way to go, wait to score.

573
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: A bunch of points.

574
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Very nice that he got to celebrate with his old

575
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: teammate Casep. It was beautiful Lebron DAPs up casep after

576
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: passing Karl Alone for second all time scoring. Weird headline,

577
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: but I loved watching Lebron break the record with like

578
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: a flurry of scoring. You know, it wasn't just like

579
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: he barely got to twenty points over the course of

580
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: the game. He caught fire in the second quarter, and

581
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: it was very, very funny to see him hitting like

582
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: these massively long three pointers. When early in his career

583
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: it was like you got to give him the three,

584
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: playoff him and give him the three. Not anymore times

585
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: have changed. That was really cool.

586
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 6: In the past two weeks, Lebron has eclipsed fifty points twice.

587
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 6: He's become the first player in NBA history to hit

588
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 6: ten thousand points, rebounds, and assists. Nobody's hit those marks

589
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 6: in all three and now he's passed the Mailman here.

590
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 6: But then the funny part of all of this is

591
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 6: the Lakers lose this game. They are eleven games below

592
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: five hundred Washington.

593
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they're gonna still make the playing, So that's

594
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: just the way it is. Lebron though, Yeah, it's just

595
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: gonna be really to see how far how close he

596
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 3: gets to Kareem By the end of this season, they've

597
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: probably go to what eleven or twelve games left. I

598
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: guess I expect he's going to play in most of

599
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: those and you know, try to get fill it up

600
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: as much as he can so that next season he

601
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 3: overtakes Kareem pretty ill.

602
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 6: And is he gonna still gun for the scoring title?

603
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 6: Here we like in neck and neck between Lebron, Embiid

604
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 6: and Gyannest. It's like if one guy scores one more basket,

605
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 6: automatically take the lead. That's how tight it is. So

606
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 6: we'll see how he.

607
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 3: Wants that last day of the season. Imagine we have

608
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: them both got all three of gonflock fifty to try

609
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 3: to Yeah, that'd be fun.

610
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it could be in play. But they did lose. Yeah,

611
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 6: so they couldn't stop Porzingis.

612
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: In the fourth. Yeah they have no size. Really, Lebron

613
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 2: is their center, and yeah, it's it was an unfortunate

614
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. I will say that for them, their lack

615
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: of depth really showed in this game because their starters

616
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 2: actually played really well starting unit their plus seven in

617
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: the first quarter and then in the third quarter. They

618
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: also won those minutes, but their depth killed them in

619
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. They're up going into the fourth and

620
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: then the back court of Avery, Bradley and DJ Augustine

621
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 2: at front court of Wedding Gabriel, Loom and Carmelo Anthony

622
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: along with Westbrook couldn't find the hole and then they

623
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: got down. And then yeah, so so rose colored glasses.

624
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 2: Their starters are playing well at Anthony Davis playing forty

625
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 2: minutes at a great level, and maybe it don't have

626
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: to go to Wendy and Gabriel and friends deep down,

627
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: deep down in the rotation. Yeah, they are going to

628
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: need some miracles like they got Friday night to end

629
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 2: games to win like they did against the Raptors. But

630
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: there was some good signs of the Austin Reeves, Malik Monk, Westbrook,

631
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: James and Stanley Johnson five man unit. There was cutting,

632
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: there was baskets. They were they did they did outplay

633
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: the Wizard starters when they were on the floor both times,

634
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: but then the bench gave it away.

635
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 6: We will see when Lebron now just surpasses Kream of

636
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 6: Blue var I mean, knock on wood that he doesn't

637
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 6: get injured here over the last stretch of this season

638
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 6: and early next season.

639
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: But like if he.

640
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 6: Keeps up this sort of scoring pace twenty five to

641
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 6: twenty nine a night. It's not going to take all

642
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 6: that long.

643
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 3: Next Yeah, it should be I think in the first

644
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: half of next season. This scening he's healthy.

645
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, so right for that, they will stop the game.

646
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I just wonder how far ahead he will

647
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: get k Yeah, yeah.

648
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 6: That's pretty pretty incredible. I mean, I saw a brain

649
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 6: windhorse on ESPN had a long article about Lebron is.

650
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 6: I don't want to put words in windhorse mouth, but

651
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 6: the idea that he's changing the narrative for like the

652
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 6: greatest fault time in the sense that it's longevity. Of course,

653
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 6: it's coming into play and just the accumulation and being

654
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: so good for so long, and that's the one thing

655
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 6: he's going to hold over. Of course, MG, if you're

656
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 6: comparing the two.

657
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: I mean, to have the high piece had coming in

658
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: from high school to the NBA and then exceeded that,

659
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: I think is incredible, and so he's That's the thing.

660
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: You can love or hate Lebron, but for a kid

661
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: to come in at eighteen years of age and have basically,

662
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 3: you know, nineteen twenty years later still playing at an

663
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: elite level and breaking records. He's got the championship, he

664
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: should have had way more MVPs than he's got. I

665
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: mean that the hearty did you have him down for again?

666
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 3: I think eleven. I think the hardest thing I think

667
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: in sport is to live up to any hype expectation.

668
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: You know, you think of how many guys have come

669
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: through drafted high and you know, quble one, number two, whatever,

670
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: and they're fizzled out or haven't even gotten close to

671
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 3: the expectations, and he just continues to exceede them.

672
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: The longevity argument and ain't gonna win any arguments. No, No,

673
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 2: you're in a barbershop and you say, but Lebron played

674
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: longer and stronger.

675
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 3: It's not.

676
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: It's not a good argument. It's not a good argument.

677
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 6: It's your team Lebron it is. I mean, that's the thing.

678
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 6: People have their.

679
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: People gimme Kevin Willis baby n No. I mean, what

680
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: he's doing is absolutely incredible. It's just it's not an

681
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: it's not an argument. Buster the word longevity in an argument.

682
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: It's not. It's not a winner for me. Obviously, he's

683
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: incredible and he's going to be the number one score.

684
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 6: Okay, what about what if his son shouldn't even be

685
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 6: in the NBA league, but gets drafted because Lebron is

686
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 6: basically guaranteed them going to your team. If you draft

687
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: my son, they draft him, Lebron goes there, and then

688
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 6: he wins a title with his son.

689
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, the good, good, good good exclamation point on, of course.

690
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 7: Which team is Lebron's score the most points against? Oh,

691
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 7: that's a good cue conference for sure.

692
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you think of this as a Lebron

693
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: rival at all, or Milwaukee, it is Wow, seventeen hundred

694
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: and twenty three points. Which team has he scored the

695
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: fewest points against?

696
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 3: Probably a West coast San Antonio.

697
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 7: You use use your old noodle here on this one.

698
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 6: It is a newer, newer, No, no, no, It.

699
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense when you consider Lebron's career.

700
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Which team he would have scored the fewest points against?

701
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: Cleveland's Cleveland?

702
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 7: Where would be the funniest place for Lebron to break

703
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 7: the record next year? Wow, Sacramento a late one?

704
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 6: Yeah? Sure, yes, at least well, I don't know, I

705
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 6: guess they had a.

706
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: That's where he scored.

707
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 7: All right, I'm rooting for sacer Benot.

708
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, I have a couple other mini winners here,

709
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 6: the Calves. You know, you're talking about the Raptors trying

710
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 6: to catch them, but the Calves held onto the sixth

711
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 6: seed over the weekend. Yeah, they did a good job.

712
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 6: Two wins. Friday night they beat the Nuggets in overtime.

713
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 6: We'll get to that when I talk about Denver in

714
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 6: a little bit when we get to losers. And then

715
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 6: Saturday the Calves held on beat that scrappy Pistons team

716
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: by four. So they're looking good that they are going

717
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 6: to probably stay out of the plane. I don't want

718
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 6: to jinx it for them, but they hold the tiebreaker

719
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 6: over the Raptors, which is huge. I mean that means,

720
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 6: you know, Rap's got to clear them by a game

721
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 6: there when it comes down to it, because they beat

722
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 6: them three times this season, so they have a fourth game,

723
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 6: but it won't matter in the head to head tiebreaker.

724
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 6: So just some pretty impressive victories. I thought the Friday

725
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 6: Night one Lowry marketing huge season high thirty one for him.

726
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 6: And then you had Garland and Mobley doing their thing,

727
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 6: and you talked about Scottie Barnes, you know, and him

728
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 6: maybe like making it a little bit closer than the

729
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 6: Rookie of the Year race. But you know, Mobley had

730
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 6: an awesome game on Friday night, you know, not not

731
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 6: as amazing on Saturday. But still he's probably whole going

732
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 6: on to this thing. I think in the end as

733
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 6: great as Scottie Barnes and Keyed to some extent it played.

734
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 6: I think he will and I think the Calves are

735
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 6: going to hold on too.

736
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: I do.

737
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 6: Those were massive wins of the week.

738
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: They were If Nikolai Jerkic, I wish that shot went

739
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: into at the end of regulation, that would have been

740
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 3: the perfect It was close, it was very close to

741
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 3: going incredible, just the classic Driveway Dirk Dad dir Yo

742
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: kid shot. So unfortunately, Yeah, tough, tough weekend though he

743
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: for the for the Nuggets. But yeah, the Calves, the

744
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 3: Caves and the Bulls now they're in a real battle

745
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 3: here to get to that stay in that six.

746
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 6: Well, my final winner is the Bulls. Just a minor

747
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 6: one here because Patrick Williams is set to make his

748
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 6: return tonight against the Raptors, first game since having risked

749
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 6: surgery in October. We haven't seen Patrick Williams in a

750
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 6: long long time. He's supposed to be on a minute's

751
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 6: restriction here, so he probably will not start being a

752
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 6: reserve role. But the Bulls could use anything right now,

753
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 6: a little injection of life. Three game losing streak they've

754
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 6: dropped in another past ten.

755
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been ugly for the Bulls. They're coming up

756
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: a little bit later. But good to see Patrick Williams

757
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: coming back. But a lot of expectations on a guy

758
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: that's played seventy six games in his career to come

759
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: in and be like the only big body out on

760
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: the way to help in the defense. But little, any

761
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: little bit of juice is going to help at this

762
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: point right now. The Bulls just need something to energize

763
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: them a little bit.

764
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Okay, So those are our winners of the NBA Weekend.

765
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 6: Anyone else you want to throw in there. I know

766
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,680

Speaker 6: you know, sure up into ninth exactly the home court

Speaker 2: Lakers love playing on the road.

00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 6: first break. When we come back, we'll get to the losers. Okay,

776
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 6: we've done the winners of the NBA weekend.

777
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 3: Let's do the losers.

778
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 6: Tat who do you have?

779
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to get nasty with the referees here,

780
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: but I got to get a little nasty with the

781
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 2: referees here just a little bit. I mean, people complaining

782
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: about the NCAA refs this weekend, there are some rude ones.

783
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: But the Spurs Warriors game, it got odd in the

784
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: third quarter. The Warriors, who are fighting to try and

785
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: get a flow here, they don't have Steph And then

786
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 2: Draymond Green was tossed and it was an interesting one

787
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: because he was angry about a call against him. Okay,

788
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: got a technical for it, a little too much talking.

789
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: Then they go to the other end. Wiggins gets a call,

790
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 2: The Warriors actually get a call, but Draymond Green has

791
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: not stopped talking, and so he goes to the referee

792
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 2: and it's easily it's easily visible. He was just saying

793
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: that was terrible, that was terrible, and that's all he said.

794
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 6: Oh did he deserve I mean, at a certain point,

795
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 6: you have to stop.

796
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he.

797
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 6: I mean, he actually gets away with so much and

798
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 6: they okay, let Draymond go, and then eventually you gotta

799
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 6: be like, okay, man, come on.

800
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: The funny part is, yeah, the Warriors were getting a call,

801
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: and then as soon as he was tossed.

802
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 6: That's when he really went anyways.

803
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: And then the funny part is he goes to Steve

804
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: Kerr and he's he tells him what he said, and

805
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: the Steve Kurs Matti's come on, quite reasonable. Yeah, so

806
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 2: he was fine with it anyway. So Draymond's tossed and

807
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 2: and they don't have staff. They don't have Draymond at

808
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: this point in the fourth quarter. The Spurs are trying

809
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: to get into the plane though, so this is an

810
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: important game. We're tied at one seven time ticking down here,

811
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole goes for the winner, misses, Andrew Wiggins comes

812
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: up with the rebound three seconds left, touch foul. It's

813
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: not even a foul. He's sort of looking at the bench.

814
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: I think they were thinking about calling a time out

815
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 2: there because the Warriors had a time out, but the

816
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: referee there, I think she may have thought that the

817
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: score was different than it was. She may have thought

818
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: that the Spurs were intentionally fouling, because there is absolutely

819
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: no way this was a foul call, so a wild

820
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: one to send Andrew Wiggins to the line. He buries

821
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 2: the first good for him, he's been terrible at the

822
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: free throw line thirty three percent since the All Star break.

823
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 2: But he buries that that first one, and then on

824
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: the second one, and over the back call on Kevon

825
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: Looney as he battles Yaka Peardle, who comes up with

826
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: the rebound. Pearl comes up with the rebound, but the

827
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 2: foul goes on Kevon Looney and so uh in that instance,

828
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 2: Ed malloy whistles. I think he could have even gone

829
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: to the other officials after he saw that the Spurs

830
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: came up with the rebound and said, you know what,

831
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: we'll just say it was an invertent foul because or

832
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: an inverting whistle because the Spurs came up with the rebound.

833
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: They called time out immediately. Yaka Peardle called time out immediately,

834
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: but instead they call a whistle for an over the back,

835
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: which from his angle kind of looked like it. But

836
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: a crazy call to send Yak a pearl. Another bad

837
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 2: free throw shooter to the line.

838
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 6: His free throw technique is the old one hand.

839
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, put it there and let it go. So a

840
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: couple of bad free throw shooters here a makeup call.

841
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: Maybe they didn't feel as bad for the makeup call

842
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 2: because it's terrible free throw shooters. Oh they'll just miss

843
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: both anyways. But he buries the first the forty nine

844
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 2: percent free throw shooter does, and then the second one

845
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 2: is a wild bounce and it gets to Eldon Johnson

846
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 2: of the Spurs. It's a tie game at this point.

847
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: He just tosses it up Banks at home game winner,

848
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: good night Warriors. So a tough loss for them. They

849
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: should have, you know, won it earlier, Dre munch and

850
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: have got tossed. But just some some odd refereeing. Do

851
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: you want to make up call there? Because because that

852
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 2: because it definitely wasn't a foul on Wiggins. He goes

853
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: to the line and man, malloy, I'm not sure if

854
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: it was a makeup again. There was a little bit

855
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: of tussling going on. But how you call and over

856
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: the back in a free throw line with three seconds left.

857
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: I can't even come up with a reasonable excuse to

858
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: do that.

859
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 3: That sort of stuff happens, they said Bob Fitz showed

860
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 3: on the call. Now that happens every game, every possession,

861
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 3: almost where there is some contact you could call it.

862
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 3: In a game like that, it felt to me very

863
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 3: much like we really butched the last one, so we'll

864
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 3: give the Spurs a chance here peerdle might save us.

865
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: He didn't because he knocked one in and then they

866
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,959
Speaker 3: got it on the end there. But the Draymond stuff, look,

867
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: I thought Draymond was right in the foul was a

868
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 3: bad call. The original call. He went straight up and

869
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: there wasn't much contact there, but he just did not stop.

870
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: And that's the problem.

871
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 6: And that's when it doesn't matter what he's actually seen exactly,

872
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 6: just he will not stop seeing it. He could just

873
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 6: keep saying erroneous, erroneous on both the erroneous it's like

874
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 6: you're not swearing at the game, but at a certain

875
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 6: point like, okay, come on, because he did.

876
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 3: He did the big ball. Don't lie when Vesel.

877
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 6: Missed the.

878
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 3: Second tech as well for cell So that's I guess

879
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: Pop saying listen, get back up there. But anyway, originally

880
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: I was looking at this, I'm like, all right, Draymond yeah,

881
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: Sometimes when a ref makes a bad court and they

882
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 3: get abused, they hit them with the immediate tea. He

883
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: didn't do that. He sort of gave I think Draymond

884
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: a bit of leeways say, yeah, maybe it wasn't a

885
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: great call, but then it was just like you just

886
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: can't stop talking. And then when the possession is over

887
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 3: and it's down the other end and he's still going.

888
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 3: At that point, I'm with the ref. I'm just like,

889
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: he's not going to stop, so just get out, Like

890
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 3: you don't want the reft to have such an influence

891
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 3: on the game. But Draymond's sure, and Draymond's done this before.

892
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: Remember it's cost the Warriors against that Hornets game. Remember

893
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 3: when it was I think it was last season and

894
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: it was the jump ball and it went against him.

895
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 3: He got dejected and he was like, I've got to

896
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 3: be better than that. I've got to be a better leader. Yes,

897
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 3: he does, and this was not the time for him

898
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: to completely lose his mind like that. So did he

899
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 3: deserve it? In the end, he basically forced he forced

900
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 3: the head because because I've been a ref and I

901
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: know what it's like, well refing kids, you know, but

902
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: it's it's like you just you just get to a

903
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: point where you're like, okay, man, you've you've said your piece.

904
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 7: You kicked the kid out of the game.

905
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: Well on, But I mean when you have like reffed

906
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: adults game and there's those guys who just like they

907
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 3: something happened ten plays ago and they're still talking about it,

908
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 3: and you want to just say, listen, have you seen

909
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 3: yourself play? Really? Do you think you've got that credibility to.

910
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 6: Go the officials better than anyway?

911
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 3: Draymond, it's hard to have a whole lot of sympathy

912
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 3: for him in the end.

913
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 6: I guess yeah, the Silver laying lawless were sort of

914
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 6: burying the refs in this one game is if you

915
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 6: watched any college basketball, you go, well, could be worse.

916
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 6: But yeah, that was a rough one.

917
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: That game that's still roughing is still a tough job.

918
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 2: But Eddie knows what he's doing. I don't know. I'm

919
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: tired of naming refs. I didn't need him.

920
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 7: Cogut called the technicals.

921
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, and Natalie Sago was the one who I

922
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: respected Natalie by not naming her. Just wanted to name

923
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: Ed molloy. But after you gave him what's his.

924
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: Name, morok, Yeah, that was that was who they got

925
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: that Draymond was getting it in I'm with You. It

926
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: was like he was giving him every chance to knock

927
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: Hunt out the game. He was happy to hit him

928
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: with one technical. We shoot an airball free throw and

929
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: call it even. But Draymond, I mean, honestly, it's a

930
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: little bit Devin be Sell's fault. If he makes that

931
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: free throw, Draymond doesn't get the chance to the scream

932
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: ball do live a hundred times in his face, but

933
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: Draymond can't get kicked out there. The war I'm with

934
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: you are in a playoff rights right now for the

935
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: second seed without Curry. They need Draymond out there to

936
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 1: be dishing and distributing the ball and playing defense obviously,

937
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: but also shout out to Yaka Perl just showing up

938
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: in another moment.

939
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 7: Again.

940
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: He's just like always the supporting guy and all of

941
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: these great moments this season. It's a weird season for him.

942
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 1: But uh, a nice win for the Spurs. I guess

943
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: they're still there. They're still a little bit. You have

944
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: the Pelicans winning but the Lakers are losing games. Yeah,

945
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: they're still in there. Uh, Okay, my loser the weekend.

946
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with Denver because two losses over the

947
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 6: weekend to Cleveland, and you said they got hammered by

948
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 6: Boston there, they've dropped down into the play in tournament.

949
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 6: I thought the game against Cleveland where they lose in overtime,

950
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 6: they just shot themselves in the foot, you know, two

951
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 6: minutes left in overtime, Aaron Gordon got called for just

952
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 6: a dumb travel right under the rim, shuffling the feet

953
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 6: a little bit.

954
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 3: You know.

955
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 6: It's it's one of those ones where it's like you

956
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 6: could call that a lot more than they do, for sure,

957
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 6: but they called it. So there's just a bad one.

958
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 6: Then they let karsl Out hustle them to an offensive.

959
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: Ea.

960
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 6: A lot of ball watching on that one from Denver.

961
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 6: Great rebound from Kroslivert, but nice dish to to Mobiley.

962
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 6: He dunks it tie game at one, fourteen forty seconds left.

963
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 6: You don't see this from the joker often. He got

964
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 6: doubled on the baseline. They sent it at a great time.

965
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,439
Speaker 6: It sort of confused him a little bit, the timing

966
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 6: of it, and then he just threw the ball away.

967
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 6: I think he thought he saw Gordon under the rim.

968
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it wasn't eat Co close.

969
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 6: And again you just don't see Yokich make mistakes, you know,

970
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 6: that glaringly in a tight game. Usually the next possession

971
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 6: they stop Garland at the rim, but again they can't

972
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 6: get the rebound. I think he actually gets it again

973
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 6: if I remember correctly, kicks it out to Lowry Marketden,

974
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 6: who splashes the three. I mean the percentage that NBA

975
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 6: players hit on an offensive rebound that leads to a three,

976
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 6: like kicked out, it feels like it's eighty percent. It's

977
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 6: like it almost never miss So that was huge. I mean,

978
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 6: if they could just secure that rebound, they're still in this.

979
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 6: And then finally Denver down three ten seconds to go,

980
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 6: Jokic gets the ball to bone Tyland. There's a nice

981
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 6: look he's on the wing and he sort of just

982
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 6: bricks it, you know. So it just like the Cows

983
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 6: fought hard again, great rebounding mobiley was pretty clutch down

984
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 6: the stretch, but some just some like uncharacteristic Look. Yeah,

985
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 6: what I'm trying to say there characteristic Yeah, mistakes there

986
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 6: from them.

987
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 3: Jokic looked just gassed as well. Yeah, getting beaten for

988
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: those defensive rebounds and then the sort of the sloppy

989
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 3: couple of passes that he doesn't usually make bad decisions

990
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: like that, and it was just five minutes too long.

991
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: They just needed to win that in regulation the Nuggets,

992
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 3: and they couldn't. They got very very close here, but

993
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: you just feel that the workload maybe on jokis.

994
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 6: Catching up a little bit.

995
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: I mean, because Mobile's young legs and his athleticism really

996
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 3: made Yokich look kind of old and slow there in

997
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 3: that in that last couple of minutes.

998
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 6: And then there had been some optimism with the Nuggets

999
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 6: that Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Junior could be back

1000
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 6: in time for the playoffs, you know, maybe down the

1001
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 6: home stretch here, but comments from Michael Malone on Friday

1002
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 6: tests suggests that they're not maybe that close, Like he says,

1003
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 6: there's no eminent return, so okay, And then he also

1004
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 6: added Malone did that Murray still has some hurdles to

1005
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 6: overcome in his return from a torn acl I think that,

1006
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 6: I mean, that's looking less and less and less likely,

1007
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 6: especially like a Murray that you're gonna, like, what are

1008
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 6: you gonna be rushing this guy back for He's obviously

1009
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 6: like a cornerstone to your franchise, Like, yeah, at a

1010
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 6: certain point, you got to play the long game. Surely

1011
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 6: as they fall down the standings.

1012
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Sure, you know, the going about it the other way,

1013
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: you'd think that they look at it and say, we

1014
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: got a shot if Jamal Murray is back, and why

1015
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 2: shouldn't they. They've got one of the best players in

1016
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: the world playing for them. In a Western conference that's

1017
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 2: not you know, the Phoenix Suns are by far and

1018
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: away then number one team, but then a bunch of

1019
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 2: question marks as we've gone through. So yes, it is.

1020
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: It is unfortunate, but it sure is looking that way.

1021
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: And Jokic was asked about it and he says, I

1022
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: just go about it the way of saying to myself,

1023
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: he is not coming back, and that's how he feels

1024
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 2: about it. And I don't know if this news is

1025
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: weighing on his mind. Probably not. He's the joker he

1026
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 2: d gaf, but he's doing a good job of being

1027
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 2: the number one guy. I definitely think this limits their ceiling,

1028
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 2: you know. I don't think they can win without somebody

1029
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: like him, like Jamal Murray being dynamic in the playoffs.

1030
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: Just hey, hey, we need a bucket here. If you're

1031
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: gonna get it out of the joker's hands and double

1032
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: and you're going to really rely on Monte Morris or

1033
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: whether it's in Forbes or Austin Rivers to make some buckets,

1034
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 2: that's a lot. It's a lot to ask. So, yeah,

1035
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: this is unfortunate news for sure, because we are getting close.

1036
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 2: You know, we've spent.

1037
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 7: Saying ten years.

1038
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point he needs he needs some real time.

1039
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1040
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: That's the thing is that even if you bring Murray

1041
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: back now, ten games after missing a year is not

1042
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: enough time to be back in the playoffs, especially if

1043
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: you're expected to be the number two guy and a

1044
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: player who has raised his game in the playoffs before.

1045
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,479
Speaker 1: I also think Will Barton is running out of steam

1046
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: a little bit here. He's kind of struggled the past

1047
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: two months. His percentages are going down, his scoring is

1048
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: going down. Everybody on the Nuggets is just a little

1049
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: bit overtaxed this year, it included. So if he has

1050
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: a bad week, it's not surprising, right because there's a

1051
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: lot on his shoulders. There's a lot on Barton's shoulders,

1052
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: like he's their number two option. Aaron Gordon's had a

1053
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: nice season as well, but Barton is like their number

1054
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: two offensive option, and if that's the case, like he

1055
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: should probably be at number four or maybe like a

1056
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: number one guy off the bench. But Nuggets are just

1057
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: running out of steam a little bit, is what it

1058
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: felt like over the weekend, and that definitely hurts Yokic's

1059
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: MVP chances. They're not given an MVP to a guy

1060
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: who finishes in the seventh seed in the play in tournament.

1061
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously they got a chance still to get

1062
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: out of it. Ten games remain, we shall see, but

1063
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of a strike against him,

1064
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: no doubt this.

1065
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. They're twelve games above five hundred, but

1066
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: and similar records to the Philadelphia seventy six ers and

1067
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid and his MVP candidacy. But yeah, it's just

1068
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: it's an iore you look at the standings, because voters

1069
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: will look at the standings and it is it's a

1070
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 2: mental knock. We look at the standings all year long,

1071
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 2: and even if their records are close, Yeah, it's it's terrible,

1072
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 2: and it's terrible for you. The Nuggets playoff chances because

1073
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: speakers we were hanging on and Sham Charanya on his

1074
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,919
Speaker 2: Inside Pass article for The Athletic also confirms a couple

1075
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 2: guys that aren't going to be back. Zion Williamson not

1076
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: expected to return to play this season, as we've sort

1077
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 2: of talked about, but they're finally at least saying that

1078
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: type of thing. Before it was yeah, we'll see, but

1079
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: now Sham's reporting not expected to return to play, although

1080
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 2: he's making progress towards getting on the court. And Damian

1081
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 2: Millard will miss the remainder of the season as we expect.

1082
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 2: Lock that in.

1083
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,959
Speaker 6: I've got another loser of the weekend, mister temper POI

1084
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 6: Julius Randall. He was in the running at least on

1085
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 6: Fridays Drop podcast the Knicks. They blew an opportunity to

1086
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 6: at least make like the final couple weeks a little

1087
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 6: more interesting in terms of their chances getting into the

1088
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 6: play in, but they lost on Sunday to the Jazz

1089
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 6: and Randall finished six to twenty one from the field,

1090
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 6: one of six from three thirteen points and then in

1091
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 6: the final couple seconds got into a little skirmish there

1092
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 6: with Rudy Gobert and he just had a bad stretch.

1093
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 6: I mean he missed a bunny, blew an easy layup

1094
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 6: when they were like down six with a couple minutes ago.

1095
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 6: Then he lost the ball in traffic and the boo

1096
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 6: birds were out in the garden. This guy just like

1097
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 6: looks so ready for this season to be there and

1098
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 6: just like, just forget about this one, bury this one,

1099
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 6: because it's been a rough year.

1100
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 3: Yea. Even Mike Breen on the coal was exasperated. Yeah,

1101
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 3: I would say with a few Knicks plays in that

1102
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, because I got it to within four and

1103
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: I had the ball, I had a chance to make

1104
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 3: it a one position game there and I can't remember

1105
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 3: exactly what that play was. I think it was just

1106
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 3: a turnover. And Breen was just like, oh, not a

1107
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 3: bad position, you know, like just that like he's seen enough,

1108
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: but he needs the next season, but he needs to

1109
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 3: get to the playoffs.

1110
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're they're done. I mean I think we were

1111
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 6: calling that a couple of weeks ago, that their chances

1112
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 6: were pretty slim, But now I think they're And not

1113
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 6: that the Hawks are like really like cementing their spot.

1114
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: Five games out there, It's hard to imagine the Knicks

1115
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: stringing together enough wins to make five games over the

1116
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: course of ten games. At the end of this they

1117
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: were saying, Rudy Goberts, he's been nice. He's being nice

1118
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: to Julius Randall, putting his arm around and you know,

1119
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 1: trying to be like, Okay, it's all right, man, we're

1120
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: having a good game. Come on, come on, Hey, Gobert's

1121
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: got to be talking trash there at that point, like, yeah, right,

1122
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: you guys blew it, you guys blew it.

1123
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Raandall had comments after the

1124
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 6: game like he wasn't upset with Gobert, He's obviously frustrated. Sure,

1125
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 6: I think it's a big part of it. So yeah,

1126
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 6: we'll slip him in there, Trey, who do you have

1127
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 6: for a loser of the weekend?

1128
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: Much like the Nuggets had a tough weekend, as did

1129
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks. They'd won eight of ten after the

1130
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: All Star break, and they finally had a bad weekend.

1131
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: They got the full brunt of the Sixers on Friday night.

1132
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: Joel Andbiad scored twenty one in the first half, finished

1133
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: with thirty two eight boards, four assists, five steals. Harden

1134
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: was good twenty four points twelve assists. He scored or

1135
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: assisted on fifteen straight points in the fourth quarter. Philly

1136
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: hit sixteen threes. Six of their players hit more two

1137
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: or more great stuff, and they did a good job

1138
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: on dntics as well. Donchers had just seventeen points on

1139
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: five of twenty, shooting two of ten from three in

1140
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: the loss on Friday, also had six turnovers because Philly

1141
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: went to the zone defense and it really took the

1142
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: Mavericks out of their usual rhythm. They followed that up

1143
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: the MAVs day with a loss in Charlotte on Saturday.

1144
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: MAV's been really good defensively lately, but the Hornets hung

1145
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine points on them. Twenty threes

1146
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: for Charlotte. Seven players in double digits, including a season

1147
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: high twenty one from three.

1148
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 7: J Washington. That's what Eric Collins was calling him.

1149
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Nice, I love it, Ah sick. Jason Williams pass from

1150
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: LaMelo in this one. The no look in the lane

1151
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: a legitimate no look and guess what I fooled you?

1152
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: This is actually a stealth winner for the Hornets. Four

1153
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 1: straight wins for Charlotte, half game ahead of the Hawks.

1154
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: Right now for ninth in the East. Over the weekend,

1155
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: you saw a lot of tweets about them being the

1156
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: perfect five hundred team because before this win against the

1157
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: Mavericks they were thirty five and thirty five, seventeen and

1158
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: seventeen at home, eighteen and eighteen on the road, twenty

1159
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 1: two and twenty two against the East, thirteen and thirteen

1160
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: against the West. Obviously, that's a little bit up right now,

1161
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: but a bummer end to the road trip for the Mavericks.

1162
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: They started three to zero, they lost their last two.

1163
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: Now they got to play the Wolves tonight. This is

1164
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: a huge game and it's the Tasmelas traff game. Coming

1165
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: home after a long road trip, this could be an

1166
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Wolves to steal one here tonight. Utah

1167
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: also won both their games over the weekend, so they

1168
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 1: moved ahead of the Mavericks as well.

1169
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 7: Not great for Dallas.

1170
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, just with Charlotte for one second here too.

1171
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 3: You know, as it stands right now, they would play Atlanta,

1172
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 3: but they would have home court, and we saw just

1173
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 3: last week how critical that could be to the tie

1174
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 3: here to have home court. So they're only a game

1175
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 3: up on the Hawks, but it could be huge. So

1176
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 3: Charlotte has this sort of strung it together when things

1177
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: look like they were really falling apart offensively, we know

1178
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 3: they can go out and get it, but can they

1179
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 3: stop anyone? Yeah?

1180
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 6: I just can't get too excited about any of the

1181
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 6: nine and ten teams in either conference. Like, like I said,

1182
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 6: like the Pelicans you could have as one of the weekends,

1183
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 6: Like that's great, They're gonna be in they might have

1184
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 6: home court of Mtage in the first game, and then

1185
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 6: they got to win another one. You know, It's like

1186
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 6: and then what are they gonna do once they're in there?

1187
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 6: Like any of these teams are gonna get their asses

1188
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 6: handed to them?

1189
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1190
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 6: Well, I mean outside of the Nets of course.

1191
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's the Raptors, you would obviously take them

1192
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 3: over Brooklyn if you can, which is probably gonna happen

1193
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 3: if it's Arooklyn. If Brooklyn's in you I think most

1194
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 3: of us are going to take Brooklyn to win that

1195
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 3: one game against who they have.

1196
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 6: So so you're saying out the winner of the Hornet

1197
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 6: Talks is going to play right.

1198
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 3: Now would be Rape in Toronto, Okay, So I mean

1199
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 3: that it's a better option than going to Brooklyn to try.

1200
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 6: But then my point is they get in and then yeah,

1201
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 6: because I don't have no feeth and.

1202
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, but the Hornets just have to have

1203
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: to have something beyond the end of the red season.

1204
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 3: You get Lamello, some raps exactly exactly.

1205
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, who do you have of the weekend ear musters?

1206
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 3: Well, look, you know, usually if you do something on

1207
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 3: a Friday night, you can get away with it, you know,

1208
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 3: because it's like it feels like it's forever ago.

1209
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 6: But the Bulls with your wife, Dude, you had two

1210
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 6: stellars down at the big.

1211
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 3: Stellars, aren't they Anyway?

1212
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 2: The Bulls finished, just put up his hands like it's

1213
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 2: like a small.

1214
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 3: It's the opposite of what the call the cause, like

1215
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 3: we were the opposite. It looks like the biggest thing. Anyway.

1216
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 6: I needed to help haul his beer.

1217
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, bulls. Look, the Bulls got smoked on Friday night

1218
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 3: in Phoenix and that wrapped up a little three game

1219
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 3: mini road trip. Lost of Sacramento, Utah and Fennyth. In

1220
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: those last two games, they really let go of the rope,

1221
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 3: giving up one hundred and twenty five and one hundred

1222
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 3: and twenty nine. There and now, you know, it's really

1223
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 3: interesting because the Bulls got the Raptors night, massive, massive

1224
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 3: game there, and then they got five on the road

1225
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 3: again and it's not easy. You've got Milwaukee one, the Pelicans,

1226
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 3: tough team to sort of figure out right now, Calves,

1227
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 3: and then they've got the Nix and the Wizards. So

1228
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

1229
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 3: But for Chicago right now, they just need to string

1230
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,959
Speaker 3: wins together and sort of get that confidence again because

1231
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 3: they could find themselves into the playing tournament as well.

1232
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 6: If if the Raptors, that's wild.

1233
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 3: If the Raptors and the Calves both kind of have

1234
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 3: a good end of the season here, Chicago could find

1235
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 3: themselves in the plane. So it's been a you know,

1236
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,760
Speaker 3: really rough patches since the All Star break for Chicago,

1237
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 3: and you know, I know that they've had you know,

1238
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 3: they've still got Lonzo Balls toill have, Patrick Will's back, Caruso,

1239
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,240
Speaker 3: he's back. But it's tough to see them right now

1240
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 3: being better than some of those teams. So, uh, we'll

1241
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 3: see how it plans. At Tonight is just huge against Toronto.

1242
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 3: They've got to win that game because if they lose

1243
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 3: it and the Raptors beat them, then they'll be I

1244
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 3: think a tie. I've got the standing. Say, let me

1245
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: just check almost about half a game game half game ahead. Sorry,

1246
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 3: but yeah, with that schedule from the rest of the

1247
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 3: way at Chicago's gonna be tough. Yeah.

1248
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 6: Anything to note their noted Bulls fan, Well, the Bulls

1249
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 6: were in first place three weeks ago.

1250
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 7: Wow, that's how recently.

1251
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 2: They were good.

1252
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: And they're all they're they're in danger of going into

1253
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: the play in tournament. But honestly, Lee, when I saw

1254
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: you put the Bulls in his loser of the weekend,

1255
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: I thought you meant red bull on a track. That

1256
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: being said, it is good that Patrick Williams is coming back.

1257
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: He looks incredibly skinny in this video that they showed

1258
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: of him. I don't know why, so maybe he's gonna

1259
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: be a little quicker out there. The bad news, though,

1260
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: is that Lonzo Ball apparently his knee has not responded

1261
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: to the rehab, so he's still out. They need his

1262
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: three point shooting. The Bulls need a CounterPunch. Like teams

1263
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: have really figured him out at this point. DeRozan said,

1264
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the most double teams I've ever seen in

1265
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: my career teams are doing anything to say somebody else

1266
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: beat us. Levine has it some nights, some nights he

1267
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have it. He's playing through an injury right now.

1268
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 1: But the problem, I hate to say it, I guy Vucci.

1269
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: He's got to be able to punish. You know, if

1270
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: you're double teaming DeRozan and then you're trying to double

1271
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: team Levine. There's not that many players left. It's gotta

1272
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: be vouch who is showing up here. But he did not,

1273
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: especially against the Suns. DeAndre Ayton had twenty points, eight

1274
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: of eleven, shooting for four from the free throw line,

1275
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: five of six in the lane.

1276
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 7: He dominated inside.

1277
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Bulls have looked pretty bad basically since

1278
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: the All Star break. You say, string some wins together,

1279
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: I would like them to string a wis.

1280
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 6: Together three weeks ago the week and now. I mean

1281
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 6: it is possible that they could not even make the playoffs.

1282
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 6: Like worst case scenario, they fall into the play in

1283
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 6: you play the nets, you'll lose that game and then

1284
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 6: you know, you get unfortunate one game, anything happens type

1285
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 6: of thing that would just be insane like that, Like

1286
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 6: you know, in a month span or a little bit

1287
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 6: more than a month span to go from first in

1288
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 6: your conference and not even making the playoffs, and it's

1289
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 6: I don't think that's going to happen, but I guess

1290
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 6: it's in play.

1291
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: I also didn't think that we'd be very excited for

1292
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: random NBA games on Monday on a Monday, you know,

1293
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 2: weeks before the season was done. I thought this was

1294
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: sort of the dead part of the season. NC double

1295
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 2: A is on, but I'm dumped for for Raptors Bowls. Yep,

1296
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: pump for Wolves and the MAVs. Mean, Mike up, Patrick

1297
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 2: Beverly versus Luka Dntrich the you're the real temper boy?

1298
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: How much is he going to be talking to to

1299
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 2: Patrick Beverly.

1300
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 6: Story about him on the on the day, we were

1301
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 6: talking about Luca as mister temper boy because he leads

1302
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 6: the league in text. He's got this whole thing. Now

1303
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 6: he just sings to himself instead of complaining with the referees.

1304
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 6: That's like going to be a strategy.

1305
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 2: I guess, Well, Dirk, I said, I was gonna say

1306
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,439
Speaker 2: that's a classic Dirk move. But Dirk used to sing

1307
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 2: going to the free throw line, right, So maybe you

1308
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 2: got some advice from Dirk former math just sing it. Yeah,

1309
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 2: the Red Bull was even I got into the F

1310
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 2: one on the weekend. Sports were just good. Right now,

1311
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 2: you're watching the Racers weekend.

1312
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 6: I thought you checked everybody, you think, you said you

1313
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 6: like all the sports, and then.

1314
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 3: You don't even watch after Bright getf.

1315
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 6: Oh you were watching because of the track t.

1316
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 3: Get to Alba Park. Then that's when I jump in

1317
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 3: third rice of the season.

1318
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 6: I think, okay, great, yeah, I assume that's.

1319
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 3: The one in Melbourne. That's right, yeah, excellent.

1320
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 6: Well, let's hear from everybody else out there. You're losers

1321
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 6: of the NBA weekend or losers from the start of

1322
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 6: the F one season. Let us know McLaren rough start.

1323
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, tell one for Danny Rick I guess for

1324
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 6: Mercedes Engines or whatever the power units.

1325
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they were looking looking pretty poor down there,

1326
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: but I was happy to see my guy Lewis somehow

1327
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: end up getting a podium.

1328
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 7: That was lucky.

1329
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 6: Yeah. No breaks coming up?

1330
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 7: What tomorrow tomorrow one pm Eastern.

1331
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 6: There you go. If you're a fan of the F one,

1332
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 6: check out No Breaks with Trey and Green Gordian breaking

1333
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 6: down that race. I'm looking ahead to the rest of

1334
00:58:58,400 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 6: the season. We're going to take a final break. When

1335
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 6: we come back, Lee will have tweeted the note. All right,

1336
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 6: let's get to tweet of the.

1337
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: Night, tweet over night wow Twitter.

1338
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 6: Which with you always having Mondays tweeter.

1339
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 3: Okay, we can switch it up, but just the rotation

1340
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 3: just works like that. Sometimes, you know, sometimes the guy's

1341
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 3: away or whatever, someone says, hey, can you take tweet whatever?

1342
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 3: So I'm just in the Monday routine. But I can

1343
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 3: switch it up, we can trade. So I've got a

1344
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 3: good one, I think, because it's kind of a it's

1345
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 3: a tweet of the night, but it's also a fans sign.

1346
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 3: And you'll never guess who it was from. No Wobly Balls,

1347
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 3: no sereal sign, self defeating. Now look at the look

1348
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 3: at the drip he's got going on here. He's got

1349
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 3: a sign. He's got the No Dunks Classic Factory throwback

1350
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: T shirt there, and he's got a sign that says

1351
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 3: this was a real game of basketball.

1352
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah we're not.

1353
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 3: That's a classic. No Michael signed though, that's the way

1354
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 3: he done.

1355
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 6: Real signs on board.

1356
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, anyway, it's a sign, that a sign, this

1357
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 3: was a fan sign. And he also he wrote on

1358
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 3: there though if you see there, you wrote on there.

1359
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 3: Many NBA are in his band signs when there was

1360
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 3: old there you go about Hongo One in particularly has

1361
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: kept signs out, but enforcement has been inconsistent. That explains

1362
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 3: this poor effort. It was a test.

1363
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 6: I see what's going on. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, so no, sorry,

1364
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 6: sorry Michael. It makes more sense why you're not bringing

1365
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 6: your giant signs anymore. But he's going to get back

1366
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 6: to the giant signs.

1367
01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 3: I think that's right. That's right. So this smuggled a

1368
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 3: sign in there and got away with it, and uh,

1369
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 3: you know great.

1370
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 6: That is such actually a funny sign to have at

1371
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 6: a basketball game. This was a real game of basketball.

1372
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,479
Speaker 6: If you need that big and just held it up.

1373
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 3: People start going, yeah, that is a real game.

1374
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was good. All right, he's having back in

1375
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 6: our life.

1376
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 3: Yes.

1377
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 6: And the shirt, that's sure, it's popping exactly. I saw

1378
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 6: a bunch of people tagging us on Instagram this weekend

1379
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 6: getting their no dunks. The jersey has jerseys people rocking

1380
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 6: them at the beach day look great.

1381
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm starting to think about wearing wanting to pick

1382
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: up like it would it be weird to wear your

1383
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,920

1392
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 6: It was the uh Mavericks sixers game. Philly was favorites

1393
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 6: in this one, brought to you by bet MGM of

1394
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 6: course this line and uh well, Philly took care of business.

1395
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 6: They covered handedly in the end, they covered that uh well,

1396
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 6: really two and a half point line. So that's a

1397
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 6: win for me. It's a win for Tray and we're

1398
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 6: both seven and seven. Task took the l he's eight

1399
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 6: and six. He was in striking distance. And Lee unfortunately,

1400
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 6: you're coming up in last right now. You're five and

1401
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 6: nine as we start to get closer to the end

1402
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 6: of March. So you got some you got some work

1403
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 6: to do, yes, But what's tonight's game?

1404
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 2: Well, we got the Raptors and Bulls on the board.

1405
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 2: You know that's a lot.

1406
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 5: Oh boy.

1407
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: What I was surprised by is that I'm the only

1408
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 2: one on the Raptors, a four and a half point

1409
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: dog in Chicago. The three of you guys believe that

1410
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: the Raptor, I'm sorry, the Bulls are going to win

1411
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 2: by five or more. What's what's up with that there?

1412
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 6: Well, they played last night yesterday, the rare like Sunday night,

1413
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 6: East East Coast.

1414
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, strange, eight thirty eastern. Yeah, come on.

1415
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 6: So I'm a little worried about the back to back

1416
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 6: situation here for the Raps and the Bulls desperately need. Why,

1417
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 6: you know, you get a little booster. Patrick Williams doesn't

1418
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 6: feel good always picking against my wraps. But I thought

1419
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 6: I thought the line was a little strange. So that's

1420
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 6: why I'm going.

1421
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 2: Strugg I'm happy to take those four points.

1422
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 6: That's all I'll play, little big line.

1423
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: It was a little surprised to see the balls get

1424
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: ma many points poor they've played recently, Yeah.

1425
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,320
