00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,000

00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 4: to one, and you said when I met, when I

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: told you I made that wager, you thanked me for

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 4: my donation to the city of Las Vegas.

30
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: And it turned out to be exactly that.

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: And look at you now, you were you were right.

32

00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:54,440

Speaker 5: I like you right most of the time, not all

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 5: the time. You right about the wrong things and ain't good.

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, that's true. That's true.

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: It was close. I was so close.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got close.

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: I mean I think I told my friend after the fact.

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: He was like, oh man, that's a good bet, Like,

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: did you hedge? Did you like what? I was like,

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 4: that is one of two bets I made all year. Yeah,

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: I'm not You could have that ticket, you know, I

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 4: know I could have it was Poe.

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: I thought about it.

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 4: I was like, I should have just sold that ticket

47
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: for a couple hundred bucks or whatever I would have gotten.

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: Stay true, stay true.

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: Anyways, fun well lasted gambling. Huh really makes the games compelling?

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: Anyways?

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with dreams of thousands being a thousand ere

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: swirling through your little hedge.

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

55
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: Could have been nice, would have been nice, But anyways,

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we're going to get to it. I get

57
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: this is a cool statistic that we just found out

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: that this is going to be the first time in

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 4: NBA history that there's been a different champion for six

60
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: seasons in a row. Yeah, now that the champ has

61
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: been eliminated.

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, what a what a tough one? What was like?

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: So we're looking, since you're here, Jamison, just looking at

64
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: some odds right now in terms of who could win

65
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: the championship. Boston Celtics minus one fifty, the Wolves plus

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: two sixty Mavericks plus five hundred Indiana Pacers plus three

67
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: was just called plus andre three Stacks plus two.

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: Thousand, So you can cant up Indy Indies out right.

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: So it's auto ma gualt. We're not they're not winning

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 5: two series in a row, So they're eliminated.

71
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: Okay, why is it because they're worse than all three

72
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: of the other teams?

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: Is that?

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: Why?

75
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: What's what's your trick?

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: They can't defit us. They can't defit us none along

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: the Celtics, the MAVs or the Wolves. So that's why

78
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 5: they're out. So you know, it is what it is

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: they had right here? Yeah, it's these expectations, but it's

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: time to get the reality.

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, wait, what do you say?

82
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 3: Wait?

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: So who's your team? The Wolves are the Mavericks.

84
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: I want I have the Wolves, you know, winning this

85
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: upcoming series. Okay, I have a dirty by a team

86
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 5: that comes out on top. And I think if you

87
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: were to bet it, I would take the Wolves with

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 5: the whole thing at plus two sixty because you're not

89
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: going to get those kind of odds anytime after today,

90
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 5: So if you're going to bet it, that's the move

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 5: to go. However, in terms of just best odds and possibilities,

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 5: whoever wins the West is your best situation because you're

93
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 5: not getting any money back on the Celtics. You're getting

94
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 5: minus money back, so there's no point of betting.

95
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 4: Then minus one fifty. I'm not I'm not an expert gambler,

96
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: but minus one fifty means that if you bet on

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 4: the Celtics and they win, you have to pay someone

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: from Boston one hundred and fifty dollars and they curse.

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: That is that correct?

100
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 5: They are what set you anyway? Yeah? No, it's one

101
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty dollars.

102
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: To win one hundred Yeah, Yeah, all.

103
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 5: Right, that's so there's no value there. You know they're

104
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: the favorite, and you know we'll see we see how

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 5: they've been playing the playoffs. It's just no value there.

106
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense. So with that being said, you're

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: better off one of the teams from the West with

108
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: everyone you rock with. You go with it and hope

109
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: for the best. That'd be your best bet.

110
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: What's like, what's like an interesting prop bet I could

111
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: take right now?

112
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 5: So, for instance, there are certain props on how the

113
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: series will end. So for instance, if you have Minnesota,

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 5: Minnesota winning a six game is a prop probably around

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 5: like plus four hundred plus five hundred, and that you know,

116
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 5: those are where you can get kind of you know,

117
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: intriguing with the serious prices in terms of guessing the

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 5: amount of games that series is going to go. That's

119
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 5: probably the best bet around this time of the.

120
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: Year, right I For some reason, I'm probably wrong. I

121
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: think I think it's because I just lost money against Dallas.

122
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: So I have like the I don't know if there's

123
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: a gambling term for that, but like the PTSD of

124
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: being soundly whooped by the Dallas Mavericks. But I like

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 4: them more than their odds would indicate it. Like I

126
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: feel like the fact that they have Luke and Kyrie

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 4: out there, even though they haven't been super consistent, they're

128
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: still so dangerous like that. On top of like having

129
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: some size. It's not as much size as Minnesota, but

130
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: I could see Dallas winning this series.

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: Personally.

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, No, they could definitely win it. I don't

133
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 5: think that's an issue. It's just more of the probability part.

134
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: I think they're alive that. I think if you took

135
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 5: me to the whole thing, it's a live that. It

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: makes sense because in a lot of series they might

137
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: have the best player on the court and a minimum

138
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 5: they have the best two out of three. Yeah, I

139
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: think you're always got a shot with those matters are

140
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 5: in yours. However, what that being said is this, they

141
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: have a lot of guys who've never been to this

142
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: point of the season. They're playing big mints, instributing big minutes.

143
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 5: Gafferd PJ. Washington have never been as far and that's

144
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: always turning to be. They're playing huge minutes. That's always

145
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 5: an issue. The same with Darrek Jones Jr. As as

146
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: he's been. I just don't know. Halloween is going to

147
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: go going forward, but they've all been great thus far

148
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: up to this point.

149
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, are there any see this is a

150
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: prop that I would have taken, is any active Canadian players,

151
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: they would lose their series.

152
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: And that's what that's what I called.

153
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: After the Drake Kendrick Beef, I was like Jamal Murray,

154
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Shay, I'm sorry. And I was like Matheren

155
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: didn't count because he didn't play, and then uh didn't

156
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: I think? Jabari brought up Dwight Powell and I was like,

157
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: well he barely played, so that that doesn't count either.

158
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: But yeah, Alexander Walker on Minnesota dah.

159
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, see that's that's all.

160
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: We're talking stars. We're talking the stars. Yeah yeah, okay, right.

161
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Exactly, you know what I mean, like, you know the

162
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: ones that are that are getting the headlines, the headlines

163
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: for sure.

164
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I mean, yeah, the end of that,

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: my gosh, I mean like the Wolves Nuggets Game seven,

166
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: just to touch on that briefly, was ah, so.

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: You know I knew it all along, you know, that's.

168
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, never in doubt as far as I was concerned. No,

169
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: I still don't believe that Minnesota won that game. I

170
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 4: watched the second half twice and I still don't believe it.

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: It's uh yeah, they just defensively shut them down in

172
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: a way that we haven't seen. You know, we saw

173
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 4: it earlier in this series, but that's I don't know,

174
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: it's still like that. I think that's part of the

175
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: thing that's give me a little bit of pause about

176
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 4: picking them against Dallas is just that even like that

177
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 4: win wasn't that convincing. And I think it's just because

178
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: they were going against a much better team than anybody

179
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: else was in the Nuggets.

180
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: So I think they'll probably win.

181
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 4: I just said something about Dallas is making me making

182
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: me pump my brakes a little bit.

183
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: Interesting. Interesting, interesting, Yeah, I mean, what what was that?

184
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: What was that night like for everybody out there who

185
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: was you know, taking action on that Game seven?

186
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: But did it shot?

187
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: Have the Nuggets where there's money line minus four and

188
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 5: a half, you know a lot of people have over

189
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 5: as well because you figure, hey, you know, both teams score,

190
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 5: can score, et cetera, et cetera. Here's here's a secret

191
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 5: for Game sevens. In most cases, especially when both teams

192
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: play defense, like most times, games go under just because

193
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: it's you know, strong defense, longer possessions. You don't have

194
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: that many easy baskets. So most of the times the

195
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: games go under. Unfortunately, the previous game that was on

196
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: that day did not because you know, team shot like seventy.

197
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 5: But in most cases the game sevens go under. So

198
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 5: I wasn't necessarily a surprise that the tempo or the score.

199
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 5: It was more the why it might go and rest

200
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: sue best players up twenty points right, Like that was

201
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: the biggest thing for me. I didn't get why, like, hey,

202
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: you might want to give the guys a breather while

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 5: you guys are up fifteen to twenty points, and they

204
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: never did that, and in a kind of fading way

205
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 5: at the end.

206
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was wild.

207
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: They just kind of see just the evolution that I came,

208
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: like from that twenty point lead and then watching the

209
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: Wolves just kind of like claw their way back, and

210
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: then then at a certain point it just felt like

211
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: the Nuggets just were not They just couldn't believe what

212
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: was happening, and it felt like mentally they just kind

213
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: of were sort of like, oh man, we're trying to

214
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: do whatever we can to stay in this thing, but

215
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: it just was not enough.

216
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: And again, like I said, I think that's what happens.

217
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,599
Speaker 1: They got too comfortable beating the Lakers.

218
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: So in a way, this is a victory for the Lakers,

219
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: you know, for everybody to celebrate, because if they didn't

220
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: beat us so badly that they wouldn't they wouldn't be.

221
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 4: You guys figured out some things that the rest of

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: the league saw, and this is really a victory for

223
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 4: the Lakers above anybody else, above Minnesota.

224
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Even I would say too.

225
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: You know, we gave them the blueprint that they actually

226
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: executed on it.

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 3: So you're well with.

228
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: But let's take a quick break and we'll come back

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: and keep talking Western Conference.

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: And we're back.

231
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: We're back.

232
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: So the Dallas went over. Okay, See, as painful as

233
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: it was, I feel like kind of both series in

234
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: the West felt like a real like testament to the

235
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: idea that like size is king right now because everybody,

236
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 4: at least everybody who's at this stage in the playoffs

237
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: has enough shooters. Like it used to be a novelty

238
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: to have like really good shooting, and now basically everybody

239
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: has shooting, and so then it comes down to like

240
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: who who has enough size inside and with Okay, see

241
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: it was just like they just couldn't get a rebound

242
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 4: like they and they couldn't stop people at the rim.

243
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 4: They were just like getting bodied on the inside, which

244
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 4: is wild, especially when like in the East, like Pascal Siakam,

245
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: like somebody who they could have picked up. I feel

246
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 4: like was playing such an important role that just just

247
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: felt like you just couldn't need you needed size in

248
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: both cases.

249
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: To do it.

250
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's the question I think to looking

251
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: at this series with the with the wolves and the

252
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: maps is like, what how are they matching up with

253
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: you know, Gobert, Cat and Red. I guess like sort

254
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: of like the easy way or the like sort of

255
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: oversimplified ways, Like I don't know how that's all going

256
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: to work out, at least defensively. And I'm now thinking,

257
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, does Luca really, Like, I mean, how much

258
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: does work is Luca going to have to do in

259
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: this series too? Because he does not look, you know,

260
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: at his yea and this this is going to demand

261
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: him to play like at one hundred at least one

262
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: hundred and three percent. I feel like to really to

263
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: give us something, But I don't know. That's just kind

264
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: of my my first impression, jamis, so what do you

265
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: what's what are your thoughts looking at this matchup.

266
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 5: It's a very interesting matchup because you have two teams

267
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 5: that are kind of in a similar voat. You have

268
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 5: two kind of younger teams, but they are They have

269
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: a couple of veterans that you know that have been

270
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 5: there before and made long runs in the playoffs. That

271
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: being said, Minnesota has the better athletes and they have

272
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 5: a better size. So for me, I think the matchup

273
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: over a series longer it goes. I think if every Minnesota,

274
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: because their size, is gonna wear down Dallas, right, they

275
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 5: have defenders to throw out Luca. They have guys that

276
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 5: can really defend. Jay McDaniels is a really good defender.

277
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 5: He might be the best io defender in the league

278
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: right now, which is a huge statement to say, but

279
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 5: he might be. But they have got off the bench

280
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: they can throw on Luca as well. They're gonna take

281
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 5: their chance to look Kyrie with Conley and and and

282
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 5: whatnot mixing things That was so set interesting to see

283
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 5: how that goes. But I'm looking forward to seeing the

284
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 5: rebounding because in the previous series, the MAVs were destroying. Okay,

285
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 5: see on the boards us every time they were getting

286
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: off the rebound, they're getting a big tip out. They're

287
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 5: always getting the keyboards. I don't think they're gonna out

288
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: rebound Minnesota. I just don't see that. So that's gonna

289
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 5: be very especially with nas Reads in the game because

290
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 5: he's a great off of the rebounder, and I just

291
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 5: don't know how it's gonna work for Dallas. With that

292
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: being said, Luke is very special and he finds a way,

293
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: he finds a way to get quality shots. If he's

294
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: going he's gonna hit you know, the twenty someone foot

295
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 5: step back. So it's gonna be very inting to see

296
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 5: what happens there. But if if Minnesota is able to

297
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 5: control Kyrie and Luke and they're not going crazy at first,

298
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: Minnesota great league.

299
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: Yeah that makes sense. I no longer have a feeling

300
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,119
Speaker 4: about Dallas, but I'm over that now. You've convinced me otherwise.

301
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: So just like back to Game seven, I mean, I

302
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: think part of the thing that still seems so strange

303
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 4: is that Murray was finally like putting it together, had

304
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 4: thirty five points.

305
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: Jokic had thirty four.

306
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: Nineteen seven assists and is just they just like the

307
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: shot stopped going in at a certain point and Minnesota's

308
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: defense really picked it up. But it was like, yeah,

309
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: it was almost like an optical illusion. But like I mean,

310
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: you had like Michael Porter Junior's shot not falling and

311
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 4: then just Minnesota hitting some big shots. Cat coming through

312
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: in a way that I still have a hard time

313
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: like believe it, like being like, yeah, I'm comfortable with

314
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 4: him being like the number one offensive option sometimes down

315
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: the stretch of these games, but it feels like he's

316
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: totally comfortable with that doubt and he's still you know,

317
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: making shots I didn't know he was capable of making,

318
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: both in terms of like how big they were and

319
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 4: how difficult they are, so pretty pretty impressive, and then

320
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: ant just being a lot of fun. The waving to

321
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: the crowd moment was a lot of fun. Oh yeah,

322
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 4: with Yok being like why why why and Aunt being

323
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: confused point.

324
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: At the scoreboard, He's like because of that, man, yeah,

325
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: it's like the game's about to be over and you're cooked.

326
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: That's why. Yeah.

327
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean at the beginning though, too, I felt like

328
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: that was the biggest impression that like I got, was

329
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: like oh, Kat is playing at a completely different level

330
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: in this series. So yeah, is your concern that that

331
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: was just for this series and he may.

332
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: Have a bit of a regression or yeah, and just

333
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 4: like past playoff performances where he's like kind of disappeared

334
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: or like gotten into early foul trouble, I mean the

335
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: fact that he still got into early foul trouble in

336
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: this game and still was able to you know, be

337
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: uh was he their leading score? But I mean he

338
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 4: was certainly like their number one offensive option, most consistent

339
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: option in the game. Yeah, So I don't know, hitting

340
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: Chuck with a classic response to finding out that Chuck

341
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 4: hadn't been to Minnesota in twenty years where he told

342
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 4: him to bring his ass to Minnesota.

343
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: And yeah, and then they also turn it into the

344
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: part of the Minnesota tourism website too.

345
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh yes, nice to see them.

346
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 4: A www dot bring Yeah dot com. Now bring Cia

347
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: Oh yes, does it seem like bring yas bring.

348
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: Gas dot com? Yeah? Yeah, no, no, we shall see. Uh,

349
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: maybe he'll go.

350
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: Because the website even had if you looked on the website,

351
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 2: they even put little things that were like little messages

352
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 2: to Charles Barkley, like on some of the pictures.

353
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: They're like, Sir Charles could even enjoy James Beard Award

354
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: winning cuisine, so they put a lot into that.

355
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

356
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: And I think also the MAVs without.

357
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: Without Maxie, I think is also just going to make

358
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: things very, very difficult.

359
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see.

360
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I I would love to see Luca

361
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: give a masterclass. And I know, like probably as we're

362
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: recording this, game one will have already happened. I believe,

363
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 2: so well, the MAVs lose this one like they have

364
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: as tradition.

365
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: Tells us to. They like to watch you game one.

366
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I mean, like whatever's meant

367
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: to happen is going to happen. But does that affect

368
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: the odds at all?

369
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 5: Jameson Uh So game ones are interesting like game ones

370
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 5: and depending on the odds in general, so the series

371
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 5: odds will here's the strategy. So let's say you like Indiana, right,

372
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 5: if they lose game one, their series of odds are

373
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 5: gonna plumb it because obviously the underdog they lost one

374
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 5: game et cetera, et cetera. Uh, if you like, and

375
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 5: then you wait until game one ends. More life people

376
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: hosting the wins. Did you bet a need to win

377
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 5: the series because the odds be tremendously in your favor.

378
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 5: So if they do pull it off, you get a

379
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: nice large sum of funds that they're called the series.

380
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 5: So that's a strategy for that. When it comes to

381
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 5: each game, the spread normally to spread every now they're

382
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 5: up or down based off of an injury or something

383
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 5: like that. But the spread and the toes are what they.

384
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: Are, right right, Yeah, I mean yeah, well we will

385
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: see what happens. I mean if if they get to

386
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: game seven, Like what what does that effect? I mean, like,

387
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: you know Kyrie being you know it was like fourteen

388
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: and oh or something in those closeout games.

389
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: Does that Yeah?

390
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, and like I feel like

391
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: that's the kind of thing like someone like I would

392
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: hold on to as contorted logic to be like and

393
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: you know he's fourteen and no, so oh I lost

394
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: so much money?

395
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we shall see. Moved to the East.

396
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, the Pacers beat the Knicks, uh

397
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 2: in stunning fashion.

398
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: I would say, uh in that game seven.

399
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 4: And calories for the Knicks not at calories. That was

400
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 4: my theory on the Lakers. It just felt like they

401
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: were running out of gas at the end of these games,

402
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: and the Knicks weren't running out of gas at the

403
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 4: end of the games, but they ran out of gas

404
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: at the end.

405
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: Of the series. It felt like, yeah.

406
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: And biased basically, it's just yeah, it was that was

407
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: that was tough at the end. I was really hoping

408
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: for for the Knicks. But the Pacers are now going

409
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: to be matching up with the Celtics. What Celtics won

410
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 2: three of those five games in the regular season and

411
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: n season tournament for zingis still not sure. They say

412
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 2: at least the first two games. But I mean, it

413
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: was like, what was he predicted before? Like, are we

414
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: just doing this thing where we keep kicking the can

415
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: down the road and be like, yeah, at least the

416
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: next couple of games, at least the next couple.

417
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's out, he's out. He's out.

418
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 2: We don't, you know, because maybe they don't want it

419
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 2: to show their hand too much, but yeah, I'm curious

420
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: what they're.

421
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 4: Just keeping it quiet. It feels yeah, we won't know

422
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: until we know. Could be that he pops out Game one,

423
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 4: could be that he's out for the rest of the season.

424
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, based on his reaction when he

425
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: was hurt that like the bearing the jersey, your head.

426
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: In the jersey is always the universal sign of.

427
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: But but yeah, and I guess I mean like looking

428
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 2: at this, I don't know, I feel like we were

429
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: saying at the top, what are the chances of the

430
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: Pacers getting out of this? I see like Celtics fans

431
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: online and they're basically like, you know, the thing is

432
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: we needed any like we were owed an easy path

433
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: to the finals this year, you know, so like I'm

434
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 2: not going to let anybody take that we can't enjoy this.

435
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, Wow, no.

436
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: Way, are you inviting bad karma? Yeah. Bill Simmons on

437
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: his podcast was like, I'm not saying the Pacers are bad,

438
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 4: but let's just like list the five worst teams to

439
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 4: ever make the Eastern Conference finals. I was like, and

440
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 4: he was like, I don't think the Pacers are as

441
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 4: bad as those teams, but pretty bad. Yeah, Like, I mean,

442
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 4: if if it wasn't the Celtics playing against them, he

443
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: would have said that. But he's he believes them reverse

444
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 4: jinxes and all that stuff.

445
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, Jamison, any any hope, I mean betting or not?

446
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: This is just it is. It has been for to

447
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: hold a mistake.

448
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 5: I think the Pacers are three and two Celtics this

449
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 5: year with the n CEAS Tournament included. Whatever you have

450
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 5: offense like the Pacers h and also the somethings don't

451
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 5: score easy baskets like they shoot a lot of jumpers

452
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: as a team, a lot correct And when you think

453
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 5: about how they play in the games that they lose,

454
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 5: they're all similar. They doss a lot of jumpers, a

455
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: lot of threes, and they fell to defend the rim

456
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 5: and that with them, Yeah, always it like it's always

457
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 5: game two, but this yeraries. I think it might go.

458
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: I think they might have a couple of losses in

459
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: the series. Okay, they're Indians, gonna win one at home

460
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 5: in the crowd, the kind of offense they have, They're

461
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 5: gonna win one at home at least. I do think

462
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: he is gonna still win in Boston, whether it's Game

463
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: one or two, not sure, but then they're gonna still

464
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 5: won there just because of the way they play. It's

465
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 5: hard to compare for a team that shoots like this

466
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 5: and plays this contempo, and Boston is a very thin team.

467
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: In turn of rotation, they don't have a lot of

468
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 5: guys they can trust. Colak the Knicks did the last series,

469
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: they eventually wore down. Now it's just sometimes way more talent,

470
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: so that will eventually prevail. But I think this years

471
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 5: goes on a little bit longer than people expect.

472
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of feel that way too.

473
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 4: And the other thing that I think the Pacers I've

474
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 4: gone for them is I think Carlisle is a pretty

475
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 4: good coach and like he's one of the only people

476
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: that I've seen like swing a series, you know, like

477
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: I've seen him win serieses before, which is there's like

478
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 4: a handful of people you can say that about as coaches, but.

479
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 3: He's like one of those dudes.

480
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: And the celic like, I don't know, Joe Mazola like

481
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 4: obviously is doing a great job with the Celtics. They're

482
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: one of the like statistically, one of the best teams

483
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 4: of all time, but like the second they lose a game,

484
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: their fans are like, Mossola sucks. Yah, you know, like

485
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 4: they every time after those game two is They're like,

486
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 4: I'm just sitting here watching Spolstra out coach Mozola and

487
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: it makes me sick. They like it feels like it's

488
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 4: a concern for Celtics fans, uh for sure.

489
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they're always out matched and that's the match

490
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 5: that they're not gonna win versus any coach likes a

491
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 5: young coach, so it really don't fault to his own. Yeah, well,

492
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 5: the guys that are left, he's he's out in that regard.

493
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 5: The best bet would be just having the guys as

494
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 5: play as good as they can. But the chess matches

495
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 5: he's always gonna lose at this.

496
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: Point, right Yeah, yeah, so I mean, yeah, I'm hopefully

497
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: Tyrese Haliburton can also find a bit of form too here,

498
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: because yeah, that is like a back injury, right that

499
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 2: he's dealing with.

500
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: Just did not Uh, I'm just I'm hoping. I would love.

501
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: I would be better than his wardrobe.

502
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah for real, I just need Yeah, I would love.

503
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: Look, I don't want to have a foregone conclusion about

504
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: this year is I would love nothing more for this

505
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 2: to go down to the wire and hey, even Indiana

506
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 2: to win, you know, because I'm not.

507
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: Biased at all, and that's just that's just what I'm thinking.

508
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: I am incredibly biased. I have said from the beginning

509
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 4: of this season that I viewed this season as the

510
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: Celtics versus the field, and I'm rooting for the field.

511
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 4: There is part of me and maybe this is also

512
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: tying into like my Minnesota like you know, bafflement over

513
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 4: is like I was like, I've really felt like the

514
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 4: Nuggets had the best chance of beating the Celtics and

515
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 4: we just lost them. I was rooting for Minnesota, Like

516
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 4: I found myself rooting for Minnesota, and then when the

517
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 4: game was over, I was like, oh, no, what have

518
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 4: we done. We love your chan that was going to

519
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 4: beat the Celtics. But I don't know, like Minnesota versus

520
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: the Celtics would be a good would be a good matchup,

521
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: and I think the Pacers heading into the last two games,

522
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 4: I was like, the Knicks are the best chance, Like

523
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 4: they're gonna give the Celtics the toughest series. And by

524
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: the end of the game seven, I was like, I'm

525
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 4: really glad this Pacers team won. They can score in

526
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: a lot of weird ways, and you know, in a

527
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: seven game series with a coach as good as Carlisle,

528
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 4: maybe you can figure some things out defensively, you know.

529
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jameson, how do you how do you view

530
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: this one.

531
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess more in terms of like the

532
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: inevitability of the Celtics going all the way, but just

533
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: sort of in this round.

534
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: In the next, how do you see it shaken out?

535
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: So I think the Celtics get through the series in

536
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 5: six games or less. I think any it gets a

537
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 5: game or two. But I just really about it. It's

538
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 5: hard when you defend that poorly. If you can't really

539
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 5: act in the win three games defending like that, it

540
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 5: just doesn't work. I'd be extremely surprised. With that being said,

541
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 5: Boston has been underwhelming in these playoffs, Like for a

542
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 5: team with that record and the stats that they have,

543
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 5: you really haven't been that impressed by them. Like you

544
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 5: look at them like, Okay, they're cool, like they're you know,

545
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: they're doing what they should do. But it's not like,

546
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 5: oh wow, this is a sixty one team that's dominating.

547
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 5: You don't get that field right, not from watching them.

548
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 5: So there's been a lot of inconsistencies from them, you know,

549
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: at best, and that's where it's like, ah, don't quite know. However,

550
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 5: I will say this Minnesota is well suited to play anyone.

551
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 5: Think they give everyone matchup problems and if I had

552
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: to pick today, they would be the favorite one the

553
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 5: whole thing, because no one has the size, and no

554
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: one has the defense that they have. The way they

555
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 5: defend at both ends and on the rim and on

556
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 5: the perimeter, that's thing that no one else really has

557
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: to combat with, and that, to me is gonna be

558
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: difference between them and everybody else.

559
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 4: So my fear, my counter to that would be that

560
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 4: Minnesota versus the Celtics, like of all the teams that

561
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 4: are left, Minnesota feels like they have the shakiest perimeter shooting,

562
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 4: like they can go cold from outside, and the Celtics

563
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 4: have great perimeter defense, right, So like I could see

564
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: that being a problem that comes back and by them

565
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 4: if it ends up being that series.

566
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: So you're right, But the thing is they offer the

567
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 5: rebounds well, so.

568
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they get extra looks.

569
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly exactly. That's where That's what happened. The fourth

570
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 5: quarter was Denver, but they didn't shoot that great like,

571
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 5: it was just that whenever they shot it and they missed,

572
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 5: they got it right back and that was issue. That's

573
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 5: why it's warded for Down and Denver have been all

574
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 5: their starters of the whole game. Basically, and you saw

575
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 5: they just weren't able to get those loose balls. Yeah.

576
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 4: Really, it's like a just a mind like a perspective

577
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: shift of being like, oh yeah, just rebounding is so

578
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 4: like rebounding determined the seventy six ers Nick series because

579
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: the Sixers were just too slow to get to the

580
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: ball a lot of the time. Rebounding determined so many

581
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: of these series. It feels like it's an ascendant skill

582
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 4: right now, Like it's obviously always been important, but now

583
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 4: I feel like, for the first time, we're seeing it

584
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 4: like swing series in a way that's pretty like definitive

585
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 4: and noticeable.

586
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 5: Right. Uh.

587
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, As producer Jabari put in our chat here, as

588
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: the Great pat Riley said no rebounds, no rings.

589
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: And he stole that from me. Yeah, he didsing my style.

590
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: And you saw that from Adrian Brody and.

591
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 4: I did steal it from Adrian Brody.

592
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: But also, like Jameson, you were saying you weren't as

593
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: impressed me because they were the the Celtics were winning

594
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 2: their games on average by like about nineteen points. Does

595
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: that is that I'm just guessing you're looking at more

596
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: than just what the score was at the end.

597
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: To say, like you weren't completely impressed by what they

598
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: were doing.

599
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 5: So when Don Mitchell went out in that last series, yeah,

600
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 5: I was expecting the series basically over hey there, you know,

601
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 5: and it wasn't. The games were way too close for you.

602
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 5: Look at the cows. They really didn't have a whole

603
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: lot there, you know. I mean Mobile played well, Garland did,

604
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 5: and a couple of other guys in decent moments, but there

605
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 5: was really nothing there. But you know, having a two

606
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: game or in some parts in the one game, and

607
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: it's like, wait a minute, it's the team that everyone's

608
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 5: tongue to worry about, and they're not blowing the steam

609
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: off from the gig go. It was kind of odd.

610
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 5: And even in the first season, like Miami didn't have

611
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 5: a lot of shot right, Like they didn't have you know, Jimmy,

612
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 5: they are really long guys, and they stole a game.

613
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 5: Now granted they had like twenties three, so whatever. But

614
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 5: it's just when you've built dominant teams, you want to

615
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 5: see them put away the inferior talent as quickly as

616
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 5: possible right away.

617
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, got you.

618
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they there's so much variance going both ways.

619
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: I mean, they shoot a lot of threes and a

620
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: lot of them go in. But I think that's where

621
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: one of the arguments I've heard against the Celtics being

622
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 4: this historically great team is. You know, we've talked about

623
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 4: the Tatum one. That's like in the playoffs, your best

624
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 4: player matters. You need somebody who's like the best player

625
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 4: on the court. Tatum can be the best player on

626
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: the court, but he's not as good as some of

627
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 4: these historically great teams best player, right, which like the

628
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: other historically great teams is like Jordan. But the other

629
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 4: one is just like they're winning by a lot because

630
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: they shoot so many threes, and that like puts them

631
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: up by a ton of points. And they're still like

632
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: gunning threes late into games, so that like put them

633
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: put them up by a lot. But the variance means

634
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 4: that it can go the opposite direction.

635
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't have that like, yeah, cutthroat domination that

636
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: you're looking for.

637
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: I get that, I mean, but it does They're still

638
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: pretty good.

639
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.

640
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: I mean, look again, I'm trying to tell myself everything

641
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: I can so I avoid having to see a Celtics

642
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: jersey with that little number eighteen on the back of it.

643
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: Do not want to see that at all.

644
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 4: But if the Wolves win, that's basically number eighteen for

645
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: you guys, right.

646
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: If the Wolves win, obviously that's yeah, yeah.

00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,160

Speaker 3: the business.

667
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,440

Speaker 2: right after this, and we are back jameson my good man,

672
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,400

673
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: We're just you. You've done this before. We're hitting me

674
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: with some questions.

675
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,880

679
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: we will be very immature. But I know you can

680
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: handle it because you're in Las Vegas dealing with people

681
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,680

00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: Kobe fires the jumper and gives l A the lead.

720
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So then here it is, Jamison, of those three

721
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: moments in history, which one are you showing up to

722
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 2: so you can witness personally with your eyes?

723
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 5: Well, I saw the last two like a lot, well

724
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 5: you know on TV. Yeah, yeah, that the first one

725
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 5: I was. I was really young, So I probably on

726
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 5: that one because I was way more intent because of

727
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 5: where it was located at the history at the time. Uh,

728
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 5: the players out on the court, So I'd probably go

729
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 5: acted that one. The other two I remember very vividly.

730
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 5: I watched the game in four Uh. The third one,

731
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 5: I had a lot of money on the line to

732
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 5: that one, so I don't want to but yeah, yeah,

733
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 5: i'd probably go the first one.

734
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, magic Baby skyhooking the garden. Yeah, that you could.

735

Speaker 3: Could it be me? I don't play basketball, but I.

739
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 4: Don't know off the table now we have this podcast,

740
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 4: No Face of the NBA for the next five years

741
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 4: or faces.

742
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 5: One? Because he has a personality with the game. Well

743
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 5: there's guys that are just as talented, but the personality

744
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 5: that goes with the game.

745
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: In this way, it's can we come up with a

746
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: better nickname for him?

747
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: I feel like somebody was pointing out on Twitter and

748
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 4: this has been a frequent thing. Like people were like,

749
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 4: what happened to NBA nicknames? On Reddit three years ago?

750
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 4: Someone was like Kemp was rain Man, Peyton Glove, Dominique,

751
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 4: the Human Highlight Film, Barkley, the Round Mound of Rebound,

752
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan Air Jordan, Like these are great poetic nicknames,

753
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: and now it's like Anthony Edwards. Well, the first three

754
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 4: letters of his name is ant Okay, okay, we'll call

755
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 4: it him ant man.

756
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: Like what about this Tony no Man?

757
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 3: That's just like a normal nickname?

758
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, all right, what about anton?

759
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 5: No?

760
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 3: So what about a e.

761
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 5: The reason why we don't have great nicknames anymore is

762
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 5: because we know these guys from when they're like fifteen

763
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 5: years old, so there's no mystery anymore. We just called

764
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 5: them by their name or call them whatever nickname they

765
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 5: already have. So we've known them, we've seen them do aau,

766
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 5: seem to do high school. There's no more intrigue anymore.

767
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 5: Back in the day when Sean Kent was dunk on everybody,

768
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 5: that was the first time you saw it. When we

769
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 5: got the NBA, we see all these high these guys

770
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 5: who are fourteen fifteen years old, right, So there's no

771
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 5: more mystery entrigue to them, so it just is what

772
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 5: it is.

773
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 2: But do you do you personally miss like a good

774
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: nickname or you're just like it's fine, let's just call

775
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: him aunt, let's call him ae whatever.

776
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do miss a good nickname. However, the issue

777
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 5: is this, the people will pray nicknames that shouldn't be

778
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 5: doing it. We need people who are cool and have

779
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 5: doing it. People trying to be cool and go viral

780
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 5: like laying with that. And I think that's a big

781
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 5: issue that we have on social media when it comes.

782
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 4: To basketball whatnot, Like some of them, like Barkley being

783
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 4: the round mound of rebound, like that is too sweaty

784
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 4: to like for that to work today. Like granted it's

785
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 4: a lot of fun, but it only was possible because

786
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: there were like the beat reporter for the Sixers was

787
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 4: like I came up with this and I'm going to

788
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 4: keep repeating it until everybody else does, you know, Like

789
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 4: there was like that old media model, whereas now like

790
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 4: I don't think you can get the round mound of

791
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 4: rebound started.

792
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, you can't.

793
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: You can't do like nicknames that sound like an intro

794
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: bar and like a Sugarhill Gang rap song.

795
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, it's rebound.

796
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 4: It's like no I've ever gone over your friend's as

797
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 4: eat and the food just ain't no good.

798
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 5: All yes, wow.

799
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need something. That's what we need.

800
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: We gotta we gotta go to the next We need,

801
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 2: we need something. We need bars okay when it comes

802
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: to these nicknames. So yeah, the the challenge is out there,

803
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: all right. So James, the next question, Barkley's Hall of

804
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 2: Fame career or former guest the Matt Boosti's Robert Ory's

805
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.

806
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 5: Career Barkley seven rings is right, But I would take

807
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 5: Barkley's career. He was a living team, made a lot

808
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 5: of money. He's still making a lot of money. He's

809
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 5: he's just he's just amount of famous you want to be.

810
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 5: People know you don't know too much about you, and

811
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 5: I think that's always cool.

812
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

813
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 5: But Barkley, Yeah, Barkley at one point time the top

814
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 5: of me play in the NBA and that was never

815
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 5: the case for Robert or you know, he had a

816
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 5: Hall of a career, did what he did. But I

817
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 5: would take Barkley's career ten times.

818
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we did, of course say Robert Ory is

819
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer. He's not Basketball Hall of Fame, but

820
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: he's in the much more important Uh, Miles and Jack

821
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 4: got Matt Boosti's Hall of so But.

822
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a shot, won't he.

823
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

824
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 4: I mean, Barkley definitely has a shot at the Miles

825
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 4: and Jackot mat Boosti's Hall of Fame needs to come on,

826
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: you know.

827
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: But I mean exactly.

828
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 3: And a lot of people are asking, why is he

829
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: ducking us? Yeah, a lot of people are saying, I

830
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: don't know.

831
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

832
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I read Interesting to find out.

833
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: I read the book about his life. Seems pretty interesting.

834
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: Seems like an interesting guy.

835
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 3: All right.

836
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 4: Someone's planning to come to Vegas for Summer League and

837
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 4: the second annual NBA Con this July. What restaurant do

838
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: they need to check out that folks don't know about?

839
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 5: So it depends on what they like to eat, you know,

840
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 5: I asked that's the first question, or like they ask

841
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 5: people like, Hey, what are you feeling? What are you

842
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 5: in the mood for? However, if you're coming to Vegas,

843
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 5: it's a little bit out of the way. But if

844
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: you're gonna get barbecue, you gotta go to John Mules.

845
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: It's about twenty five minutes away from the Strip and

846
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 5: where NBA con or something like that. But it's the

847
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,120
