Speaker 4: so you know, yeah, I'm happy about that. And yeah, man,
Speaker 4: it's I've been covering the team in some shape or
Speaker 4: form since twenty fifteen, so you know, beautiful game area
Speaker 4: is still kind of there, but Kawhi is like, you know,
Speaker 4: kind of coming into his own as a superstar. It
Speaker 4: was a really fun time to be watching the team,
Speaker 4: right and then sort of seeing everything after that and
Speaker 4: since and now the Wenber starts, so yes, yeah, interesting times.
Speaker 4: To be a Spurs reporter for sure.
Speaker 2: I feel like we should read your You provided a
Speaker 2: bio that, yeah, was one of my favorite bios that's
Speaker 2: been provided, so I just wanted to read through it

Speaker 2: of work into building a serviceable jumper. Okay, the righty

Speaker 4: It was a funny team to watch.
Speaker 2: Man were crazy. But anyways, I love the writy man
Speaker 2: who of twenty four Hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you got it like that?
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 4: I ran out of contact, so I have like the

Speaker 4: Yeah, because it because it's like I can't see anything,
Speaker 4: but I'm about to get physical in here.
Speaker 1: Right, so they're strapped. Absolutely, don't get it messed up?
Speaker 1: And did you You're like you ended up? Did this
Speaker 1: love story become a full complete love story? You are
Speaker 1: with this person who is the person.
Speaker 4: We just moved into this house together. We gotta get
Speaker 4: a puppy. It's it's we've been together. It'll be six
Speaker 4: years in September.
Speaker 3: Soa you know, as they.
Speaker 4: Say, it's a beautiful thing. Yeah, I love him basketball.
Speaker 4: It's very sweet, wonderful.
Speaker 2: There's some interest around the San Antonio Spurs this season.
Speaker 3: I would say, so found out a bit.
Speaker 2: How what's it like to why what happened? What's it
Speaker 2: like to have been with the team for five years
Speaker 2: and then have this fall into your lap, this Victor
Speaker 2: Webbing yama fella.
Speaker 4: I mean it was. It was kind of crazy to
Speaker 4: watch because very proud tradition here, and they had just
Speaker 4: gotten used to winning after decades of not and then
Speaker 4: you have this era of sustained competition, greatness and winning
Speaker 4: and you have a guy who you think is going
Speaker 4: to carry that torch and Kawhi Leonard and then he's gone.
Speaker 4: And then sort of slowly it was like, you know,
Speaker 4: you trade the best piece for draft picks, and then
Speaker 4: the next best piece becomes the guy, and then he
Speaker 4: gets traded for draft picks and eventually you got what
Speaker 4: you have last season, which was you know, you know,
Speaker 4: it was it was cool to see the development of
Speaker 4: guys like Devin Bissell when he was healthy, and Kelvin
Speaker 4: Johnson and rookie Jeremy Sohene getting a lot of burn
Speaker 4: which he wouldn't have gotten in previous years in San Antonio.
Speaker 4: But then you know, they won like twenty games, so
Speaker 4: it was like it was it was tough, and watching
Speaker 4: the fans who stuck it out through that and watched that,
Speaker 4: and we're still showing up excited and hopeful while those
Speaker 4: people get rewarded, you know, because I was. I was
Speaker 4: at that bar at that watch party where you know,
Speaker 4: they got it up on the big screens and everybody's like,
Speaker 4: like everybody's drinks gets paid for if they give the
Speaker 4: number one pick right in the corner with my tripod
Speaker 4: with the camera and like, you know, electric. It was
Speaker 4: like a championship moment almost like and in a sense,
Speaker 4: like I know it sounds silly and crazy to say,
Speaker 4: but in a way it's almost bigger than that, because
Speaker 4: somebody wins a championship every year you know, but players
Speaker 4: and prospects like Victor Webbin Yama. I feel like everybody
Speaker 4: was pretty much in agreement that this is the most
Speaker 4: game changing prospect in the last twenty years. And you
Speaker 4: see somebody like that come and you know what that
Speaker 4: means because you saw it happen with Tim Duncan, right, yes,
Speaker 4: Like you know that none of the stuff that happened
Speaker 4: here happens without that one singular, all time great number
Speaker 4: one pick. And so you know, people here are just
Speaker 4: like over the moon and like the impact on businesses,
Speaker 4: the impact on ticket sales and marketing the team, and
Speaker 4: you know, the national.
Speaker 2: Time they're number one picks. Really well, it seems like yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean yeah, you bought them out three times and get
Speaker 4: three generational big men, like it's it's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Pretty now. I've been told, speaking of Jeremy Sohan, that
Speaker 2: you you don't mess with the Sohan. Is that correct?
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, he's a he's a scrapper.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just wanted to make sure we were talking
Speaker 2: about The Sandman before we started recording.
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I haven't seen I think I saw that
Speaker 4: movie in theaters. I feel like revisiting that would be
Speaker 4: hilarious to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wonder if that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I actually, like, I think it's going to
Speaker 4: be good for Victor because everybody's gonna be going at Victor.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be good for him to be sharing the
Speaker 4: court with, uh, somebody who likes to mix it up,
Speaker 4: like Sohanna and Zach Collins enforcer Zach Collins as hilarious
Speaker 4: as a concept. But like, if ever there's an altercation
Speaker 4: on a basketball court and Zach Collins is in the vicinity,
Speaker 4: He's in the middle of it. Yeah, like you know,
Speaker 4: looking like he's mad at his stepdad or something. I
Speaker 4: don't know, Like he's like he's ready to go. So
Speaker 4: I think having those two around Victor is going to
Speaker 4: be good and important for him.
Speaker 2: Do you have a feel for like, you know, you've
Speaker 2: seen the same number of games that we have, do
Speaker 2: you have a feel for, like, are the Spurs gonna
Speaker 2: be good right away? Do you feel like or what
Speaker 2: are your expectations for this first season?
Speaker 4: So I think it depends what your expectations are for
Speaker 4: the Spurs as a team, right because if you just
Speaker 4: base it on the win loss from last year and Okay,
Speaker 4: they're getting this guy we don't know how good Victor
Speaker 4: Wemenielm is going to be. I feel like last year
Speaker 4: there was a young team that was still learning how
Speaker 4: to do stuff, and they left a lot of meat
Speaker 4: on the bone in terms of results as a result
Speaker 4: of that. You know, there were games where they played
Speaker 4: really well for three quarters, you know, and you know
Speaker 4: they're they're moving the ball, they're doing the right things,
Speaker 4: and then in the last you know, five ten minutes
Speaker 4: of the game, it falls apart. You know, they're not
Speaker 4: communicating the experience. The other team takes over in boom.
Speaker 4: You know, you've lost thirteen in a row like that,
Speaker 4: and it's it's one of those situations where last year
Speaker 4: a lot of guys were kind of poisted into roles
Speaker 4: that they, you know, have never had before and never
Speaker 4: would have had the opportunity before in previous iterations of
Speaker 4: the Spurs. And so the feeling around the team toward
Speaker 4: the end of last year was like, the guys are great,
Speaker 4: These guys have a ton of potential. They all just
Speaker 4: sort of realized that, like, you know, they need somebody
Speaker 4: to be that guy that they all sort of coalesce around.
Speaker 4: And they got very lucky in the offseason and they
Speaker 4: got that. So I think immediately Victor Wemenyama is going
Speaker 4: to be like a special defender to watch, even if
Speaker 4: the offense takes a while to get there, and you know,
Speaker 4: it takes some time for him and pop to find
Speaker 4: the balance of you know, Okay, you're trying new things
Speaker 4: and you're doing the things that make you special and
Speaker 4: the things that only you can do, but also like,
Speaker 4: let's run these sets so you can get easier looks
Speaker 4: kind of thing. That balance that's going to take some time.
Speaker 4: It's going to take some time with his team. But like,
Speaker 4: as far as I know, he's been either you know,
Speaker 4: he's been combined in vacation or in the lab, you know,
Speaker 4: just all summer and even dyed his hair, which I
Speaker 4: think might have been a Sohnna influenced thing. Although so
Speaker 4: handed this is pleading innocence, Like, you know, I didn't
Speaker 4: do that to him. He made his own choice there.
Speaker 4: But like, I think the Spurs were a perfect landing
Speaker 4: spot for Victor women Yama because you have Greg Popovic,
Speaker 4: you have a team that's been building for this slowly,
Speaker 4: quietly for years, and it depends what moves they make
Speaker 4: because they've got so many draft picks, right, They've got
Speaker 4: a ton of assets, you know, do you take DeVante
Speaker 4: Graham and Doug McDermott and draft picks and maybe maybe
Speaker 4: one or two of the young pieces and and try
Speaker 4: to like really upgrade the roster if in year one,
Speaker 4: Victor women Yama is like really showing you some things.
Speaker 4: So I think I think they're going to be a
Speaker 4: lot better than last year, and probably because people didn't
Speaker 4: watch them a lot.
Speaker 2: Last year, surprising people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there are a lot of guys outside
Speaker 4: of Victor Wembanama who you know, people will tune in
Speaker 4: to watch Wemby, but they'll be like, oh, man, keel them.
Speaker 4: It's fun, Like, oh, I've never seen anybody except Penny
Speaker 4: Hardaway do that like spinning step back, but Devin Miselle
Speaker 4: has that like that's cool, you know, And so I
Speaker 4: I I'm excited for other people to watch Spurs basketball. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: I mean even watching it's just like he's so tall,
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, how do you do how do you
Speaker 2: do that? Is that something?
Speaker 4: I think he had that thing where like you hang
Speaker 4: it up in the doorway and he just.
Speaker 2: Did the stretching thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably hang upside down.
Speaker 2: I think we all have to we have to assume
Speaker 2: that he had that. But he did it off the
Speaker 2: Eiffel Tower. That's why he's so tall. Right, I think
Speaker 2: I had Europe. I'm a I'm a bit of a
Speaker 2: europe expert. Right, let's uh as you can tell? So
Speaker 2: should we let let's just go because we've been the
Speaker 2: way we've been doing the analysis is the win over
Speaker 2: under that Vegas has each team coming in at So
Speaker 2: should we should we take a break and come back
Speaker 2: and talk about san Antonio's over?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get into it angle. We're going to find
Speaker 1: a new angle right after this and we're back and
Speaker 1: we found it. We're gonna talk about it's a normal
Speaker 1: size caller.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know, Jack, it's normal sized.
Speaker 3: It's very normal sized.
Speaker 2: Normal. It was on Victor Webbing Yama.
Speaker 3: That is true. That is true. Okay, we'll credit to him.
Speaker 2: I wear it and suddenly it looks huge like a
Speaker 2: clown dressed to me, he's gone.
Speaker 4: He is going to the Tim Duncan school of being
Speaker 4: that big and somehow finding baggy clothes. Like I don't
Speaker 4: know how you do it. Yeah, but like that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Just got to sell your clothes out of hockey bags.
Speaker 2: Just everything is hot.
Speaker 4: It's been twenty years, so I guess like baggy stuff
Speaker 4: is coming back. I don't know that would be good.
Speaker 1: Or is he just going through Tim's like wardrobe and
Speaker 1: Tim's like, oh I love these in ninety eight.
Speaker 3: Man, you're a.
Speaker 2: Lot better dressed than Tim.
Speaker 1: I have to say, yeah, well, maybe he'll tuck in
Speaker 1: a tea with jeans and wear that like backwards Newsy
Speaker 1: hat and make it all look cool.
Speaker 2: Tim Duncan, owner of the largest pair of Tivas that
Speaker 2: I think, well, that would be my guess. Is he
Speaker 2: has like the record setting you get a custom man. Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 2: he has like five of the biggest Tivas that have
Speaker 2: ever been made, and they are in regular rotation.
Speaker 1: And the sixth one is hanging in Tiva headquarters just
Speaker 1: like as like an art piece when you walk in
Speaker 1: and like.
Speaker 3: This is the biggest Eva on earth.
Speaker 2: All right, So Southwest Division, we got San Antonio, we
Speaker 2: got Houston, we got Narlans, we got Dallas, and we
Speaker 2: got Memphis. Folks. Don't we love them? Folks? I love them.
Speaker 2: Let's kick off with San Antonio. Their their win total
Speaker 2: last year was twenty two, they're expected to gain by
Speaker 2: Vegas seven and a half wins. They're twenty nine and
Speaker 2: a half. That seems like okay, yeah, I mean, like sure,
Speaker 2: it's not very aggressive, I would say, especially like my
Speaker 2: one takeaway from seeing one Beyama the Summer League, and
Speaker 2: I've talked about it before, that I think like a
Speaker 2: smart outsider bet would be when Byama for Defensive Player
Speaker 2: of the Year, Like he really messes with every shot
Speaker 2: that goes up on the court when he's in the game,
Speaker 2: Like maybe people will figure out, maybe like non Summer
Speaker 2: League players, like better players will figure out how to
Speaker 2: shoot around him. But he's he is is contesting shots
Speaker 2: that should not be contestable, right, So I could see
Speaker 2: them picking up more than seven and a half wins. Personally,
Speaker 2: I would go I would go over on this one.
Speaker 4: Somebody said, I forget who said this, but it stuck
Speaker 4: out in my mind. They said that he changes the
Speaker 4: geography of the court.
Speaker 2: Yeah that was probably me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably It sounds like something.
Speaker 1: You European geography tweet that run here at Summer League
Speaker 1: at his first game, You're like, this kid is changing
Speaker 1: the whole geography of the court.
Speaker 3: We're calling him Pythagoras.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's an entirely different subject of school, but.
Speaker 2: It starts with g Oh yeah, and that is all
Speaker 2: that matters exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, he the defensive impact is going to be
Speaker 4: really fun, and they have guys who I think will
Speaker 4: fit around him and be able to switch around him
Speaker 4: really nicely on the defensive end of the floor. You know,
Speaker 4: vissell So and Calden Trey Jones is like, you know,
Speaker 4: a pesky little dude, and like, yeah, I think that
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun basketball to watch, and they're going
Speaker 4: to figure things out, my guess is more quickly than
Speaker 4: the teams that are playing against them, because you really
Speaker 4: have to, like, you know, they're gonna be one of
Speaker 4: the harder teams to scheme for moving forward, just because
Speaker 4: they have Victor wim Yam who you know, Like it's
Speaker 4: it's just different. You have to do different things entirely
Speaker 4: and switch up your your philosophy in some cases on
Speaker 4: both ends of the floor to really game plan for
Speaker 4: a player like that. So it's going to be interesting.
Speaker 4: I'm interested to see everything. Like there's there's no game
Speaker 4: on the on the calendar where I look at it
Speaker 4: and I'm like that's snooze.
Speaker 2: I don't care how the seven foot four guy who
Speaker 2: can shoot from everywhere on the court plays in this
Speaker 2: game now, right, it's.
Speaker 4: Not a concern. I saw. Yeah, I think it's going
Speaker 4: to be over I know, shocking. The guy who covers
Speaker 4: the team is a little bullish, but last year I
Speaker 4: wasn't so bullish. I think it was like right on
Speaker 4: the nose last year and it was like, I don't
Speaker 4: know if they're going to get twenty one winsanz, how
Speaker 4: old weaked over it?
Speaker 3: How old are you going? Tom?
Speaker 4: So it's it's set at what.
Speaker 2: Twenty nine and a half?
Speaker 4: I think they went thirty thirty four to thirty six games.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So just just to shade under playoff contents
Speaker 2: right as the kids call.
Speaker 4: It, like they might make the playing game and like
Speaker 4: they they might do well in that environment. I don't know,
Speaker 4: like if they if they played a first round playoff series,
Speaker 4: it wouldn't shock me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that would be fun, all right. So I
Speaker 2: would have expected San Antonio having a generational number one
Speaker 2: draft pick, that they would have been at near the
Speaker 2: top of like predictions for most wins gained. However, they
Speaker 2: are far below two games below our next team, This
Speaker 2: team Vegas is predicting the biggest win lost jump of
Speaker 2: the season, and it's Houston last year twenty two and
Speaker 2: sixty this year thirty one point five games. I'm slightly
Speaker 2: confused by this, not that I don't think they're going
Speaker 2: to be better, but like, is it all van Vliet,
Speaker 2: Is it all Udoka? Are they just expecting them to
Speaker 2: take the Fred van vliep Ah, I'm done trademark trade
Speaker 2: mark And yeah I wrote that in the dock and
Speaker 2: then I said that I was done, so I have
Speaker 2: no preparation from this point forward in the show.
Speaker 3: It's all chat GBT from here on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what like does this surprise anyone else? I
Speaker 2: guess Dylan Brooks also, you know, yeah, he can he
Speaker 2: can help a team win, but I.
Speaker 1: Mean specially if team added a Dylan Brooks right now,
Speaker 1: because he looks he looks, I mean, he looks as
Speaker 1: good as he normally would. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean it must be e May plus Vamvliet.
Speaker 4: I guess Houston is tough for me because, like you know,
Speaker 4: deep in my soul, it hurts me to say anything
Speaker 4: nice about him. But like their draft this year phenomenal, Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: just awesome. I was super high on a Men Thompson
Speaker 4: before the lottery. It was like, you know what if
Speaker 4: the Spurs got him at three or four, I'll be
Speaker 4: I'll be stoked. He's really really good. Who did they
Speaker 4: get that slid to like twenty five I've forgotten now,
Speaker 4: but it was like a guy that people had top
Speaker 4: ten grades on slipped Yeah, Ken Whitmore, Yeah, slipped to
Speaker 4: like twenty five or something, And it was like, oh no,
Speaker 4: Like that's that's problematic. And you know they got they
Speaker 4: got Shngun in the draft that the Spurs got Primo.
Speaker 4: You know they they've drafted really well in.
Speaker 5: The last few years, and I like the roster that
Speaker 5: they've built. Uh, culture has been terrible, you know that,
Speaker 5: Like the coaching has been bad. They I remember last
Speaker 5: year they were talking about like, oh, Jabari Smith is
Speaker 5: like struggling, but he had this good game and the
Speaker 5: coach is like, yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Know, you know part of why he's struggling is I'm
Speaker 4: not running anything for him. It's like, wow, right, I
Speaker 4: don't know, like maybe that's a point of emphasis to consider.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I really think bringing in Emadoka is
Speaker 4: is going to help a lot. Yeah, I think it's
Speaker 4: going to change some things. And you know, that group
Speaker 4: of players playing with some form of organization is going
Speaker 4: to be I think, you know, cool to watch that development.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they have.
Speaker 2: A lot of time now that I mentioned it, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 4: If you know thirty two wins like that's that's kind
Speaker 4: of the joke I guess right that Spurs fans were making.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, you went out, you spend all this
Speaker 4: money on Fred van Vliet and Dylan Brooks and now
Speaker 4: you're going from not a playoff team to also not
Speaker 4: a playoff team.
Speaker 2: Spurs fans are mean. I thought they were nice.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, they a while back. I was
Speaker 4: sort of like my official title was the Dawn of
Speaker 4: Spurs Mafia. It was it was like a like like
Speaker 4: if you said something dumb about like, oh, I think
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis and Tim Duncan are like like Anthony Davis better.
Speaker 4: Like there were people that would just like your your
Speaker 4: phone is going to overheat from people saying angry things
Speaker 4: that you you.
Speaker 2: Know, like, well the grammar in that sentence was a mess. Yeah. Yeah, First,
Speaker 2: I don't talk, So yeah, I mean you were saying
Speaker 2: it was a dumb sentence, and you are.
Speaker 1: And we're messing with your language after we got to
Speaker 1: ls Island.
Speaker 4: Obviously, I feel like Rockets fans have like really leaned
Speaker 4: into the monetization of Twitter, you know, and and you know,
Speaker 4: done similar similar posting habits. But honestly, I love I
Speaker 4: love that the rivalry between Rockets fans and Spurs fans
Speaker 4: feels kind of back. Yeah, like there's a little bit
Speaker 4: of nastiness, Like like on Lottery Night when Victor Weberenhema
Speaker 4: realized he wasn't going to Houston and gave.
Speaker 2: Like gave a little fist pump.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, you just pissed off an entire city. For
Speaker 4: the rest of those people's lives, they're gonna make you forever.
Speaker 4: And that was before he knew he was coming to
Speaker 4: San Antonio, like he was. He was just like he
Speaker 4: wasn't even thinking about the story building aspect of it.
Speaker 4: He was just stoked to not be going on.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even realize that. So it was Houston
Speaker 2: was off the board. Who was left at that point.
Speaker 4: It was Spurs, Portland and Charlotte.
Speaker 2: Oh that's pretty that's pretty bad, man. It's really cruel.
Speaker 4: Born and you're like, yes, I'm not going to Houston
Speaker 4: like that hurts people, Right, I've been there. It's a
Speaker 4: cool place in Houston, Texas. But yeah, I think I
Speaker 4: think all of those games you know in Houston and
Speaker 4: San Antonio fans are gonna get up. It's gonna be
Speaker 4: fun to watch. I mean this whole division, Like we're
Speaker 4: gonna go through the whole thing. But like, the young
Speaker 4: talent in this division is really really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a fun division.
Speaker 4: Every every team has has young guys who are like
Speaker 4: either already you know, stars in the league or like
Speaker 4: look like they could be the future. So it's it's
Speaker 4: fun to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every every team they have going up and wins
Speaker 2: other than Memphis, who you know, Memphis is a real
Speaker 2: question mark. They're going to be interesting, adding markets, smart
Speaker 2: d Rose, recent Desmond Bane you know, and then job
Speaker 2: being suspended. But I feel like they they have them losing,
Speaker 2: going from fifty one wins last year to forty five
Speaker 2: and a half and five and a half back. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if they if they're like somewhere between
Speaker 2: those two. I don't think they're going to drop off
Speaker 2: that much, but everybody else is up. The line goes up. Uh,
Speaker 2: we got nhlins going from forty two wins to forty
Speaker 2: three and a half.
Speaker 3: Not a huge leap, but an improvement. Nonetheless, It just
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's the health part.
Speaker 1: I'm always just wondering, like they I just a Tray
Speaker 1: Murphy the third he went down with a moniscus injury
Speaker 1: like earlier this week, So.
Speaker 3: You're I feel bad those fans. I bet, I'm sure
Speaker 3: are wondering.
Speaker 1: It's like, can we have one just moment in the
Speaker 1: sun where the health sun shines on this team? But
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone's kind of gonna come into this
Speaker 1: season with something to prove too, So part of me
Speaker 1: does feel optimistic. But I don't know if that's also
Speaker 1: the sort of cycle of watching this team go into
Speaker 1: a new season, Like Zion looks good, he's looking good,
Speaker 1: putting the Mountain dew down. We'll see what happens. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'd love to see them actually, you know,
Speaker 1: because we were pretty big on them last year going
Speaker 1: into last season.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, well they had a great year the year
Speaker 2: before and then had Zion was healthy, liked a great
Speaker 2: year without him, and then Zion was in quotes healthy
Speaker 2: but you know now now he's missed one hundred and
Speaker 2: ninety four games over his career while playing in just
Speaker 2: one hundred and fourteen. So yeah, it's just New Orleans
Speaker 2: for me is always just like hope Spring's eternal. I
Speaker 2: want them to be healthy. I want to see what right,
Speaker 2: I want the whole league to be healthy. And they
Speaker 2: in particular seem like one of the most fun teams
Speaker 2: when they're healthy, so it would be cool. Zion seems
Speaker 2: like he's physically and then Ingram has like a whole
Speaker 2: different look. He looks like a different person.
Speaker 4: It seems like they could be anywhere from like thirty
Speaker 4: five to like fifty wins depending on health almost entirely,
Speaker 4: you know, but like, like again, what a fun young group,
Speaker 4: Like yeah, like Ingram playing with a healthy, explosive Zion
Speaker 4: is just like because Ingram was really coming into his
Speaker 4: own last year, I mean really really solid player and
Speaker 4: fun to watch and at that wing position, great size,
Speaker 4: just incredible scoring ability, you know, and McCollum. Right, they've
Speaker 4: got McCollum. Yeah, yeah, you know, they they're they're built
Speaker 4: for being a playoff team. And I think they can
Speaker 4: get there again provided they're healthy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, re signed Herb Jones, So there's there's a lot
Speaker 2: of fun guys on that team.
Speaker 3: And Zion's liking some really cool dragon Ball.
Speaker 2: Memes too, a lot of dragon Ball memes.
Speaker 1: Yeah you liked this vegeta account about remembering who you
Speaker 1: were before dating or and you're like, okay, get focus.
Speaker 2: Or Dallas is the big question mark for like, not
Speaker 2: not regarding health, just like regarding how they fit together.
Speaker 2: This is the same person who was asking that question
Speaker 2: earlier about Houston, who's phone got blown up because it
Speaker 2: was a dumb question because they don't know how words work.
Speaker 2: The So they re signed Kyrie, acquired Grant Williams, signed
Speaker 2: Seth Curry, Derek Jones junior people. People are pretty impressed
Speaker 2: with what they did in the off season, but they
Speaker 2: should have been better than they were last year. And
Speaker 2: I don't have a full explanation for what happened. I asked,
Speaker 2: I said, Hey, what happened, but I haven't gotten the
Speaker 2: good explanation for it. How are you guys feeling about
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks And they're over under a they're expected
Speaker 2: to go from thirty eight wins to forty five and
Speaker 2: a half, which is a big jump.
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I mean, can they do it
Speaker 3: without Javelle McGee?
Speaker 2: That is the number one question on everyone had mind.
Speaker 1: That's that's a number one question on my mind. But
Speaker 1: I mean, I seven, are they going to be that
Speaker 1: much better?
Speaker 2: It's a lot to put on Grant Williams and Seth
Speaker 2: Curry and like you be one thing to be like, well,
Speaker 2: Kyrie like needed some time to adapt and like they
Speaker 2: need to adjust to one another's games, but like it
Speaker 2: felt like they were getting worse as the year was
Speaker 2: going along. Is that Yeah, maybe I'm wrong about that,
Speaker 2: but they just didn't like by the end of the season,
Speaker 2: it seemed like, oh, this has not gone well. Those
Speaker 2: two on the court together, Kyrie and Luca, even though
Speaker 2: they're both like so fun to watch and like some
Speaker 2: of the best shot makers of all time, it's like
Speaker 2: a confusing like it's confusing that they're not better. They
Speaker 2: weren't better than they were when they were on the
Speaker 2: court together.
Speaker 4: It feels like a really like you know, make or
Speaker 4: break year for Dallas as constructed, Like I mean, and
Speaker 4: it feels like going into that you don't have a
Speaker 4: really good foundation in terms of understanding how those pieces fit, right.
Speaker 4: I think I think, like you said, they made some
Speaker 4: good offseason moves. I like sort of the pieces they
Speaker 4: brought in. But I'm also sitting here wondering, like, Okay,
Speaker 4: so how is how is it going to work? Who?
Speaker 4: You know? Because I see Mark Cuban talking about Kyrie
Speaker 4: standing in the corner, I don't know how Kyrie feels
Speaker 4: about that, you know, right, Yeah, it just it seems
Speaker 4: I feel like if you went down the list of
Speaker 4: players that you could have potentially paired with Luka Doncic,
Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving would have been kind of low on the
Speaker 4: list in terms of, you know, fit, What do you
Speaker 4: need next to a guy like Doncic to not just
Speaker 4: win regular season games, but to make a deep run,
Speaker 4: which is a goal when you have a player as
Speaker 4: good as Luka Doncic. And I still don't really see
Speaker 4: how Kyrie helps you achieve those goals. So it is
Speaker 4: kind of up in the air. I do think they're
Speaker 4: going to win. I'd say, like over forty games, I
Speaker 4: expect them to be around five hundred maybe a little better. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it also could turn into a very messy situation there.
Speaker 4: That one seems like the most volatile, you know, situation
Speaker 4: here in this division.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was totally volatile, totally interesting to see,
Speaker 2: Like where this this really feels like make or break
Speaker 2: year for Luca, where it's like do we you know,
Speaker 2: but what do we have here? Like I've seen, I've
Speaker 2: seen comparison people being like, he's I think the general
Speaker 2: consensus is he is MVP caliber every season. We should
Speaker 2: expect him to be an MVP candidate this next year.
Speaker 2: That's been the way it has been for the past
Speaker 2: couple of years. I feel like there's also like a
Speaker 2: quiet conversation happening in the back where people are like,
Speaker 2: maybe he's like more of a Trey Young figure, like
Speaker 2: really great shot maker and you know, had some like
Speaker 2: deep playoff runs, but overall, like we shouldn't have like
Speaker 2: MVP level aspirations for him. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: I think everybody in the league basically would take Luke
Speaker 2: over Trey Young. But I am starting to hear those
Speaker 2: conversations for the first time in my life.
Speaker 3: And repeating them out loud, yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Then repeating them yeah, I'm saying they're not I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that Dallas fans I don't tell other people are
Speaker 2: saying that.
Speaker 1: Don't put the Dallas mafia on me. Do you know
Speaker 1: who runs the Dallas twitter mafia? If you could put
Speaker 1: a protective order over Jack.
Speaker 4: I don't think they have one. Okay, Dallas seems fairly
Speaker 4: tame to me.
Speaker 2: Okay, Ruby, maybe.
Speaker 4: There's a second tweeter.
Speaker 2: All right, let's should we take another quick break? I
Speaker 2: think we are, and come back and get some bold
Speaker 2: predictions and get into the fastest segment in podcasting.
Speaker 3: Miles, Oh, yeah, we do all of that. I think
Speaker 3: we'll do it all all.
Speaker 2: Right, We'll be right back and we're back and we're
Speaker 2: gonna get into Phoba like once the tournament's over. You know,
Speaker 2: it's been some great games. There's been the big shocking lass.
Speaker 2: According to headlines by the tam USA to Lithuania, it
Speaker 2: was a game that did not matter, which I didn't
Speaker 2: realize at the time when I was reading them headlines.
Speaker 2: It was they knew they were coming out of their
Speaker 2: Division one two, just a matter of who was coming
Speaker 2: out first. And the US has since bounced back against Italy,
Speaker 2: so they're they're looking good. They are in the final
Speaker 2: four of FOBA. I did not know all of that
Speaker 2: based on the headline, so I wanted to do the
Speaker 2: service to people of letting them know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was also of that because I've been following so closely.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, so we're out, No, no.
Speaker 2: Bunch of gotcha bums.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you might need superstars.
Speaker 4: Put some respect on Jones val Man. Yeah, Like he's
Speaker 4: a great litmus test for like ball knowledge. If somebody
Speaker 4: has a high opinion of Jones Valence's like value in
Speaker 4: today's like basketball game, Like you know, he does so
Speaker 4: much at the center position that is like super duper valuable,
Speaker 4: just like pick and pop, pick and roll beast on
Speaker 4: the boards, and he sets about like five hundred screens
Speaker 4: that are just made of granite every single game. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just absolute Like.
Speaker 2: It looks like he hurts to play against.
Speaker 4: Yes, right, those have typically been the types of dudes
Speaker 4: that give say trouble, right, So yeah, yeah, we'll.
Speaker 3: See what happens.
Speaker 2: Should we get into it my house, we're going bold?
Speaker 3: Are we going quick?
Speaker 2: Should we get the let's get the bold in the quick?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 3: Wow, changing the form. I like this, Okay, let's do
Speaker 3: what it takes.
Speaker 4: With a little explanation or context.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's our favorite.
Speaker 4: Cool all right.
Speaker 1: Our latest segment called Wild Irresponsible Speculation with People Who
Speaker 1: Know Better, brought to you by Mis and Jacko Mad Boostie's.
Speaker 3: But here we go. Obviously, Tom, you've heard about this segment.
Speaker 1: This is the fastest question and answer segment in all
Speaker 1: of podcasting history, including shows that are yet to exist.
Speaker 3: Uh, we are going to ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Just answer it, don't think, just respond. Give us that,
Speaker 1: just that deep human response without thinking, blurt it out,
Speaker 1: and we'll keep it moving so we can maintain our
Speaker 1: title of quickest question answer segment in sports history.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm a good blurder.
Speaker 1: Good And if Jack and I started asking weird questions
Speaker 1: that don't make sense or out of context or you know,
Speaker 1: just general meandering, you have to get on us to
Speaker 1: keep this thing moving.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's happening.
Speaker 4: I I'm very vibe spased, So if the conversation flows
Speaker 4: into a happy spot.
Speaker 3: I hear you, I hear you.
Speaker 4: And a people pleaser, it's going to be tough for
Speaker 4: me to do that same.
Speaker 1: First of all, the amount of therapy that Jack and
Speaker 1: I have gone through for trying to get over our
Speaker 1: people pleasing.
Speaker 3: I mean we could, we could heal the world. Okay,
Speaker 3: the amount of.
Speaker 4: Our debrief after this and we can just you know,
Speaker 4: just work with each other. Yeah, do the hard work.
Speaker 3: This is what I'll say.
Speaker 1: Sometimes pleasing the people requires you to just be honest.
Speaker 4: Right, they're already doing it. Stop ask the questions.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, you're right. Fine, here we go, Brian.
Speaker 4: Start o'clock.
Speaker 2: To Brian. So he wants to please everybody except Brian.
Speaker 1: He's played in a lot of bands, he's played a
Speaker 1: lot of live shows. Sometimes he's hard of hearing, so
Speaker 1: I have to raise my voice. That's what that's It's
Speaker 1: an anchor, Okay, because I'm because I like to he
Speaker 1: raise my voice of people with hearing issues.
Speaker 3: Uh, do you want to go.
Speaker 2: First or first? M that's a great question, myles. How
Speaker 2: about you go first?
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I will Tom. I have to ask you who's the
Speaker 1: best player you've ever witnessed in person? And what they do?
Speaker 1: You know, like, what were they doing? That impression so much?
Speaker 1: And also who's the person you pay the most to
Speaker 1: see in person if you haven't already.
Speaker 4: Hmm, I've seen Lebron in person and what do you do.
Speaker 4: The thing about watching him that's crazy is you're watching
Speaker 4: him and you don't realize quite the impact he's having,
Speaker 4: just because it feels regular, like he makes he makes
Speaker 4: spectacular production feel almost you know, routine and expected, and
Speaker 4: within that also like these incredible plays and you know,
Speaker 4: beautiful moments. But it's the kind of thing where you're like, oh, man,
Speaker 4: he's been kind of quiet, and you look up at
Speaker 4: the at the board and he's got thirty eight. You're like, damn,
Speaker 4: all right, yeah, I guess it's not that quiet. I
Speaker 4: really want to Like, I love watching Jokic play. Like
Speaker 4: my view at the arena, you just see all of
Speaker 4: the reads that he's making at the top of the
Speaker 4: key and sort of the lanes that he's looking at
Speaker 4: and so so watching from that angle is is pretty incredible.
Speaker 2: Lebron's my answer to just because you see you get
Speaker 2: a sense of speed and size. Like in person, he's
Speaker 2: just wild, crazy crazy to see.
Speaker 4: Every NBA player the scale is crazy, but Lebron in particular.
Speaker 2: Is, yeah, scale, I don't see it.
Speaker 3: I don't see then why do we lose to the Nuggets?
Speaker 2: Well because of those lanes? Baby ah ah, Tom you got,
Speaker 2: you got to keep moving in.
Speaker 4: I'm really sorry.
Speaker 2: What is your absolute baldest prediction for the upcoming NBA season?
Speaker 3: Hrectly lose your credentials right now.
Speaker 4: I think, uh, Victor women yam a rookie All Star.
Speaker 2: Wow, that'd be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: Okay, it would be so fun even if it's just
Speaker 4: fan vote, because the entire nation of France votes him.
Speaker 4: In Georgia for Zaza Petulia, that's four million people. France
Speaker 4: has got like seventy million. Yeah, you know, and and
Speaker 4: I do. I do think he's going to be like
Speaker 4: better than expected and fun and super impactful and get
Speaker 4: a lot of eyeballs. I think there's gonna be a
Speaker 4: lot of people who become fans of his game very quickly,
Speaker 4: so you know, by by popularity contest or by merit.
Speaker 4: I think he I think he makes an All Star team.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Tom, which team is going to have the
Speaker 1: biggest increase in wins over last year?
Speaker 3: And maybe you could surprise us with the one. But
Speaker 3: who is that team?
Speaker 4: I love what the Orlando Magic are doing. I love
Speaker 4: what the Oklahoma City Thunder are doing. I think adding
Speaker 4: Chet to that team is going to be really quite something.
Speaker 2: Damn dropping firebars quite something? Yeah, hold on, next question,
Speaker 2: hold on now drop the quite something. Yeah, it's quite
Speaker 2: quite quite good, quite good. If you could have any
Speaker 2: players skill set for a day, who are you choosing
Speaker 2: and what skill set are you taking from them?
Speaker 4: This is so easy, and it's so like, it's so easy.
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm breaking the rules. But it's Vince Carter.
Speaker 2: Vince Carter dunking.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking Vince Carter's jumping in dunking ability, and I'm
Speaker 4: going to like the rucker and I'm becoming an urban
Speaker 4: legend like Paul Bunyan, or like Will Chamberlain, like.
Speaker 1: Earl Manigolt get change off the top, being like, oh
Speaker 1: you want me to break that five for you?
Speaker 3: Bow switching took it off the top of the backboard.
Speaker 4: Right, I'm just spending the entire day until I tear
Speaker 4: every ligament in my.
Speaker 2: Knees being wheeled off. Now here's the thing we doing first?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going I'm going elbow in the rim m.
Speaker 4: Interested that on an eight footer when I was young,
Speaker 4: and same I still have a scar. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now that feels like you're going to injure yourself, right,
Speaker 2: away to that.
Speaker 1: Tendon by your bicep, like on the inside of your arm.
Speaker 1: I remember damaging it terribly doing that on a foot.
Speaker 3: Body weight off of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But here's the other thing, because L three sixties my
Speaker 2: answer in case anybody that's my favorite I think of
Speaker 2: all time, or on France and it was I don't know,
Speaker 2: there's something about it that really did it for me.
Speaker 1: But what if you could dunk like you were jumping
Speaker 1: over Wemby like how he did in that game against
Speaker 1: France or who was how tall was that dude that
Speaker 1: he dunked over?
Speaker 3: Was like a seven footer, wasn't he?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't know if I would do it to
Speaker 4: Wemby because then I don't know if the relationship could
Speaker 4: recover from that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's a mad guy. He's a made guy.
Speaker 1: You don't go ahead there and respect you man.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, well.
Speaker 4: That's that's a good point. But I mean, I've listened
Speaker 4: to the show before and people always say Steph's shooting, right. Yeah,
Speaker 4: here's the thing theoretically, and I'm pretty close already. I
Speaker 4: could practice enough to be as good as Steph Curry
Speaker 4: is shooting, you know. Yeah, I could get there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: The guy was a scrub before he really drilled, drilled down,
Speaker 1: you know in high school and college.
Speaker 3: So I think you got something.
Speaker 4: And you know, if you have that skill for a day,
Speaker 4: then what you shoot hot for a day? That definits
Speaker 4: a you know, twenty four hour fitness all the time,
Speaker 4: right right, they know you you don't go go home
Speaker 4: and tell your family about it. But if a five
Speaker 4: ten Italian guy jumps over somebody and dunks it, that's
Speaker 4: something that people are talking about forever. You know, those
Speaker 4: highlights live on.
Speaker 1: But follow up though, because we've talked about this, is
Speaker 1: could your body handle being able to jump high if
Speaker 1: you had the same same fitness except you just had
Speaker 1: that lift.
Speaker 4: I just had crazy bounce.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you like, yeah exactly, But coming down you're like.
Speaker 4: Ah, I would have to learn how to land, and
Speaker 4: I like, you know people who jump that like Lonnie Walker.
Speaker 4: I would show up early to Austin Spurs game just
Speaker 4: to watch him in the layup lines jumping because he's
Speaker 4: like crazy athlete. But he would he would land so
Speaker 4: awkwardly and it was like dude, two feet you know,
Speaker 4: soft be respond, get pack and you.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, work style.
Speaker 4: I get it, So I don't know, but I would.
Speaker 4: I would try. And if I flew too close to
Speaker 4: the sun and died, you know, if I if I die,
Speaker 4: I die.
Speaker 2: Landing is an athletic thing in and of itself, you know,
Speaker 2: so maybe your athletic skills that allow you to jump
Speaker 2: that high and dunk so good.
Speaker 1: Okay, we got to move on, Tom, and shame on
Speaker 1: you for not keeping this segment. You know, I won't
Speaker 1: forgive you with this with this question. That's a just
Speaker 1: just a nice easy underhander for you, ultimate peak, prime
Speaker 1: admirable And I said almost said admirable, prime admiral or
Speaker 1: prime ewing.
Speaker 3: For you? For you?
Speaker 4: I mean, I've got to go David, because David Robinson
Speaker 4: that he's one of the nicest people you could ever
Speaker 4: hope to meet. But he also did something so petty
Speaker 4: and savage by scoring like seventy one points in the
Speaker 4: last game of the season to take the scoring title.
Speaker 4: That's the funniest thing I've ever seen. And there's no
Speaker 4: footage of this game, like it's just like they had
Speaker 4: no cameras. It's against the Clippers, it's in LA, and
Speaker 4: they were like no cameras and he was like, give
Speaker 4: me the ball again and just.
Speaker 2: Crammed it anyone to see what happens here tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I do have a lot of love for Patrick Ewing.
Speaker 4: I actually met him on an airplane one time, and
Speaker 4: you know, I was a fan and I was like,
Speaker 4: excuse me, mister Ewing, have your autograph?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: And he goes, sorry, kid, that's against my religion. And
Speaker 4: I'm like, whoa, I didn't know that. I'm so sorry,
Speaker 4: and he's like, I'm just messing with you. Give me
Speaker 4: that hearing story. He's a funny guy. But yeah, I'm taking.
Speaker 4: I'm taking. I'm taking, David.
Speaker 1: I love that canned response that like athletes have to
Speaker 1: mess with, like autograph seekers, Like there's that one and
Speaker 1: another one where they just deny being the person that
Speaker 1: you've identified them to be.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Patrick Ewing, Like I'm not Patrick Ewing.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's crazy. I get this all the time.
Speaker 4: I'm just a seven foot tall guy right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's sweating so much. Yeah all right. And finally,
Speaker 2: most importantly, Jack were Miles, I gotta.
Speaker 4: Go with my persano, man, it's nothing against you. You
Speaker 4: got you got some some irish I'm assuming Jack O'Brien.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, you put that together yourself.

Speaker 4: I feel something can ship toward you as well.
