4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,880

Speaker 2: Something to give.

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: If not, you know, just let him know you're thinking

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: about him.

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: But the NBA has pressed on.

33
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: The Lakers took took a week and are back to

34
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: being fairly mediocre, got the ranks beat off them by

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs. But well we'll get into that,

36
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: but first we do want to check in with the

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: two teams that I don't think. I guess people knew

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: okay See was going to be one of the best

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: teams in the league, but I don't know that the

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: Calves were necessarily there.

41
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Harrison.

42
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Before we get into any of this, I do just

43
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: I like to ask all of our smart people who

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: know stuff about basketball, how are you feeling. Is this

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: the Calves Eastern Conference to lose? Or is are we

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: all just waiting to see if the Celtics decide to

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: give it to them?

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: What do you think?

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Is it the.

50
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: Calves in no disrespect to the Calves, who have obviously

51
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 3: been incredible this year. They're just like a buzz saw

52
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: every single night. They just it Like, I don't I

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: have not looked this up, but I feel like they

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: have to have the highest point differential in the league

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: and if it's not, I guess if it's not them,

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: it's maybe okay. See, but it just feels like they

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: blow everyone out just with their consistency. But for me,

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: it's still the Celtics just because of what we saw

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 3: them do last year and we know that teams are

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: it's sort of prone to these title hangovers. It's hard

61
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: to keep up that level of intensity that you have

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 3: when going after your first ring for that whole next

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: year when it's like, okay, wait, we got to do

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: the whole eighty two games again before we get to

65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: the playoffs and defend the title. So I do think

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: that there's some natural like we've seen that throughout NBA history,

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 3: and I think now that the league is as deep

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: as it is that you just feel that more on

69
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: a night to night basis because there are more talented

70
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: teams that you know, if you're only bring your BEEP

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: minus game, like, they can beat you. And the Celtics.

72
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: They have a target on their back because of the

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: defending championship thing and because they sort of ran through

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year. So I still think they're really good,

75
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: and as much as it pains me to say, like,

76
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: but I do think that they should still be considered

77
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: the favorites to come out of the East, despite how

78
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: good Cleveland has been.

79
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: I guess part of me is like in those times

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: in the past when it's like we're just waiting for

81
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Shack to play himself into shape and then like the

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Lakers are gonna do it, or you know, teams. I

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: think the second year that the Rockets won the title,

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: they were like not good during the regular season and

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: then turned it on they were like, yeah they were,

86
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: they were sick, so I think they were six. But

87
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: those were years when I think people were looking around

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: being like yeah, but like they's not a team. There's

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: not a team that's like stormed in and been like, Okay,

90
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: this is actually our league. Whereas the Calves are like

91
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: on pace to win seventy one games. Whether that happens,

92
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like they definitely seem capable of it.

93
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing about what they're doing to this point

94
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: that seems fluky. So it is intriguing. Like I'm as

95
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: somebody who's like a pessimistic Celtic hater, I'm always loath

96
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: to like have any hope that they're not going to

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: win the title, but like, this is more hopeful than

98
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: I was at this.

99
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: Stage last year.

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I'll say, as somebody who just roots for the field

101
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: against the Celtics.

102
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 6: As as your partner in crime in that regard, No, like, seriously,

103
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 6: the deeper we get, I think.

104
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: It's all three of us. I think it's no one.

105
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: There's no podcast in the NBA sphere that wants the

106
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: Celtics to be bad more than this these three.

107
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is we're all pulling in the same direction here.

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 6: But but I genuinely do believe in these caves, like

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 6: the deeper we get the first ten games, I said, Okay,

110
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: you know what, that's cute, that's cool. You know, then

111
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 6: we you know, we get to twenty games, and you

112
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 6: get to thirty games, you get to forty games. End

113
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 6: of the year, it's like, no, unless something catastrophic takes place,

114
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 6: this is going to be the one of the Okay,

115
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 6: maybe not the team, but one of the teams to

116
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 6: be in a very difficult out and when it comes,

117
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 6: you know, from the Boston side of things, just to

118
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 6: kind of you know, uh, touching on what you know,

119
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 6: what you reference, it's a lot more you know, it's

120
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 6: that old boxing addage. It's a lot more difficult to

121
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: get up and run those miles when you're getting up

122
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 6: in silk pajamas, you know what I mean, Like every

123
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 6: everybody's got the grind that first time before.

124
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: That's incredible.

125
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 4: Oh no, but it's Muhammad Ali said it. Uh uh.

126
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 6: The late marvelous Marvin Hagler, one of my favorite boxes

127
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 6: in the eighties, showing my age, he used to say

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 6: it as well. But yeah, you said, basically, the initial grind.

129
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 6: Everybody has that within them. But once you know, once

130
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 6: you reach the top, it's like all of a sudden,

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 6: you know, you went to bend and silk pajamas or

132
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 6: do you really feel like getting up at three am?

133
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 6: You know, to run those minds? And I'm not saying

134
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 6: that Boston is taking it easy, but you know, kind

135
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: of to your point, Jack, everyone is going after them

136
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 6: because now you know, now you're the tight, now you're

137
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 6: the you know, the defending champs. And you're not going

138
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 6: to get a night off in this league.

139
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell wakes up every morning in a hair suit

140
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: and exactly Isonna's grind right away, Yeah, all right, I do.

141
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: I'm just checking in. We're not going to make everything

142
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: about the Caves versus the Celtics. Uh, and we do. So.

143
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: The Calves did beat okay see in their head to

144
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: have matchup ok see, then promptly beat the Brakes off

145
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: the Knicks and our game of the week one twenty

146
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: six to one oh one. Shay put up thirty nine

147
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: on twenty one shots. Jalen Williams was solid. The story

148
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: of the game was Isaiah Joe going eight for eleven

149
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: from three off the bench on the way to I

150
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: think he had thirty one. He's apparently the best player

151
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: in the league based on what I saw in this game.

152
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, is that the story of the

153
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: game or just the story of like your sadness because

154
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: the Sixers cut him in training camp? Yeah two years ago.

155
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: No, it's it's not great. And thank you Harrison for

156
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: bringing that up, because.

157
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 4: Did you even remember that?

158
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

159
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I remember drafting him and.

160
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: This is this is like core sixers trauma over the

161
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: couple years.

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's just guys who come off

163
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: the bench in the league are better at basketball then

164
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: I can even possibly imagine, Like so many of them

165
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: are just waiting for their opportunity to be like I

166
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: have superpowers too. And yeah, he was just so good

167
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: in this in this game, just a lot of back

168
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: cuts and then just knocking down every.

169
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Open three that he got. Did you guys watch this game?

170
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on h on this one?

171
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: I did?

172
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 6: I mean, like, and it's kind of where I think

173
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 6: you're going to go with Shaye, Like I look at

174
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 6: Shae and you know, we mentioned it in the you know,

175
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 6: ahead of the show, like he's got like the perfect

176
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 6: old man's game, but like not slow. I'm not saying,

177
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 6: you know, but he's just everything is deliberate everything, you know,

178
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: there's no wasted energy. It just looks so easy out there.

179
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like what if the old man was also

180
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: the fastest guy in the gym. You know, he has

181
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: all his trickery, but he's still in his complete athletic

182
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: prime and able to stop on a dime and has

183
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: all these turkey jerky moves and it is just like that,

184
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: you know, start stop, sort of like it's a little

185
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: bit like hardened during those MVP years where he just

186
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: was like he wasn't the fastest guy in the league,

187
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: but he was the quickest at hitting the brakes, and

188
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: very few guys Luca does this as well, and like

189
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: Shaye has mastered sort of the dark arts of that

190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 3: mid range, you know, the sort of area where he

191
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: is able to get in there and he's able to

192
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: go back forth, back forth, back forth, and then before

193
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: you know, eventually his defenders was running off in the

194
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: other direction and he's getting a shot off and yeah,

195
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: it's just yeah, he's He's incredible, And it's the remarkable

196
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: thing about Okay, see is at least with the Calves

197
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 3: are like, Okay, they've had their whole team for the

198
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: most part droughoup most of the year, and so of

199
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: course you know they're they're playing firing on all cylinders.

200
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: The thunder are missing a guy or two like almost

201
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: every single night, and they're still managing this. It's just

202
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 3: incredible how deep they are.

203
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Shay makes buckets look easier than anyone. He's as

204
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: good at getting buckets and makes them look easier than anyone.

205
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 2: It is really like.

206
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: Something to behold. I can't think of somebody who ever

207
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: like made it look that easy in my time where

208
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: it's just like it really like it if you're trying.

209
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: You know, people like to like cross someone up and

210
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: have them like fall over as they hit a three

211
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: on them. But like making it look this easy as

212
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: you score on someone has to be also like a

213
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,239
Speaker 1: new kind of dispiriting where you're just like maybe.

214
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: From a guard. But I would say that there have

215
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: been I would say there have been big men who

216
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: make it look like if you watch them for the

217
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: first time, you would just set like Anthony Davis, you know,

218
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: like uh yeah in Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembin Yama, like

219
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: these guys. Like sometimes if you were to just show

220
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: someone who had never watched basketball before, just like Anthony

221
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: Davis getting thirty points, they'd be like, Okay, that guy's

222
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: getting lucky, right, that's falling all over the plate, like

223
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: throwing stuff up, like it doesn't look like he's played before.

224
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: And it's like, now, that's just sort of what his

225
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: game looks like at his height, and you know, that's

226
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: what a tall person with that level of coordination looks

227
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: like they still look not that coordinated, and so you

228
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: know it's but yeah, among guards that he's truly unique

229
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 3: with how effortless he can make it look. I guess

230
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: Steph during his prime it was different, but you know,

231
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: he would just sort of come off of a screen

232
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: and just like like toss up a prayer and it

233
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: was just going in every time.

234
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: That one shot from right before the break where he

235
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: was like running to the left and like did a

236
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: spin move and then threw it up like and just

237
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: kept running was one of the coolest things.

238
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: There's got to be nobody more demoralizing the guard in

239
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: NBA history. It's just like, yeah, he's just like taking

240
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: the shots you want him to take and they're going in.

241
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, but he looked.

242
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: It's like he I always bring back Like during that

243
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: one game against Okay, see that was like I think

244
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: kind of his big call. It was a regular season game,

245
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: but he was just going off and then he hit

246
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: the game winner from half court and somebody tweeted, Steph's

247
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: got a demon.

248
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: That's all there is to it.

249
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: Steph's just got a and like that's always he he

250
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: seems like he has some manner of like uh yeah,

251
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, it's just like yeah yeah, whereas uh Sha

252
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: just looks like he's moving a different like speed or

253
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: it's like it it kind of boggles the mind, like

254
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: how he's doing that real quick. Going back to the

255
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: Isaiah Joe thing, because I'm just curious if you guys

256
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: have ever had an experience with us where you played

257
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: against or witnessed a guy who like came off the

258
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: bench in the league in person, and like I once,

259
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: I went to the Kentucky Basketball camp a lot as

260
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: a kid. My dad was an assistant coach there, and

261
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: you know this is probably like as good as I got.

262
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Was like my sophomore year and Tony Delk was there,

263
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: and you know he knew me from my dad, and

264
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: he was like handed me the ball was like let

265
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: me see, Like what what have you been working on?

266
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: Let me see you like dribble it. And the ease

267
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: with which to so Tony Delk, for people who don't know,

268
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: like not a consistent starter ever in the league. He

269
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: did have one game where he put up fifty great

270
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: three point shooter in college, won the championship in college,

271
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: but the ease with which he took the ball every time,

272
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: like like I was in slow motion or let like

273
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: it was almost like having the magician do the like

274
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: pull a coin from behind your ear where you're just

275
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: like wait, how did that get How did the ball

276
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: get in his hand? Like every single time was just

277
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: like I was like, Oh, we're playing like different games.

278
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: This person who is going to be like scoffed at

279
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: by an NBA fans. Yeah, he's so incredibly good at basketball.

280
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: It's like again like it, yeah, it's like watching a

281
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: magic show.

282
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: It's like I can't wrap my mind around that.

283
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 6: I mean it for me, it really boils down to

284
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 6: the worst player in the league, the guy that everybody

285
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 6: will say like, oh that guy sninks.

286
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: Will dog you.

287
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't.

288
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 4: It does not matter who you are.

289
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: Brian Scalabrini actually did that. He hosted like a tournament

290
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: for guys to come and play against him who had

291
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: like trash talked him on Twitter and just like destroyed them. Yeah.

292
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Scalabrini anecdote is a is a really good

293
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: one for anybody. I think you can still find that.

294
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere. Yeah, I'd never I

295
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: was not a good basketball player, so I was not

296
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: in like high level games against future NBA players, But

297
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: I played like pick up a couple times with like

298
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: guys that had played overseas in Europe or something, and

299
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: we're still in the area and like that kind and

300
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: it's just like even those level guys like they're not

301
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: they weren't anywhere near the NBA, and they're just like

302
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: it's just like a different level of human being. You know,

303
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: it's not it's not fair.

304
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy I played against an eighth grade who

305
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: would like put it between his legs with one hand,

306
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: like he would do right hand in and out, dribble

307
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: through his legs and then like dunk on you. I

308
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: was like, well, clearly this guy is going to be

309
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: the best player of all time. And he ended up

310
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: like playing mid mid division one.

311
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: You know.

312
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, yeah, you have to be an alien

313
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: to make it.

314
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: It's truly unbelievable. Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break.

315
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll talk about our two teams. You know,

316
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: both struggling. But I think we're in the same boat here, guys,

317
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: And I know that makes you feel good, feeling like

318
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: you're in the same boat as the seventy six Ers

319
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: this season.

320
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, we'll.

321
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Be right back, and we're back. So the Lakers took

322
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: a week off following the start of the Southern California Fires,

323
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: return to action on Monday versus the Spurs, and it

324
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: didn't go so well. I was pulling for them. I mean,

325
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: I was pulled for the Lakers when it's not the Sixers.

326
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, the addition of Shake DFS, it's not it's

327
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: not quite what we needed at least thus far.

328
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: Well, how are you guys, as unrealistic Lakers fans feeling

329
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: right now?

330
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? I first of all, I love that you led

331
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: with shake there instead off. That was to a former

332
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: Sixers fan, that's trade.

333
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, as a fan of cool names, that's the

334
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: ship it is.

335
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: It is incredible, just basketball player name, Like it's I

336
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: wish he was better because it would be really exciting,

337
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: it would be really fun, you know. Yeah. Yeah, No,

338
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: from what I've been told from the people who followed

339
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: his career, like he's gonna have some games in March

340
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: where you're going to be like, this guy is ready

341
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: to go playoff rotation. You know, he just dropped thirty

342
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: because just like two, there's two starters out, you know,

343
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: Shake Milton is ready to go cook. Yeah again, speaking

344
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: of like how deep the league is, is like he's

345
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: a guy that can go out and you know, get

346
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: some buckets and is probably not really going to be

347
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: a consistent rotation player for the Lakers. But yeah, I

348
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: think the team is the biggest issue to me and Jabaria,

349
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, you can weigh in here as well.

350
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: Has been that I think that how much they want

351
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: to switch ever since it was pointed out to me

352
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: by Darius Soriano, longtime form Blue and Gold, longtime silver

353
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: screen role as well. Yeah, one of the best like

354
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: Lakers pundits, Like he pointed out like the ease with

355
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: which they're giving up switching, And once you have that

356
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: in your head, you can't unsee it. It's just like

357
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: it is effortless switching. You know, they are not you know,

358
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: they'll just sort of hand you Austin Reeves on a

359
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: platter to go and hunt. It's like, I'm not saying

360
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves, you know, I expect him to do really

361
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: well on defense and stuff, but you should so if

362
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: that's true, you should be trying harder to not give

363
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: up that matchup. You should have plans in place to

364
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: help Austin, you know, but they're just letting teams sort

365
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: of pick on him. And you know, again, I'm not

366
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: saying that he's like some defensive stopper that I think,

367
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, I think he's got to step it up whatever.

368
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 3: It's like, no, if you're the Lakers, used to come

369
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: help him, Like you can't just allow for this to

370
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: be happening, you know, and just like there's like a

371
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: simple brush screen and you're just sort of like, okay,

372
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: well all right, I guess you get often now, and

373
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: that it sort of plays into I think some of

374
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 3: the lazier tendencies of this team, where they're very much

375
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: you know, there are a lot of vets on this team,

376
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: most primarily Lebron and ad Are. They're sort of like

377
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 3: veteran core, and they're two guys who are happy to

378
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: sort of, you know, coast through a night on the

379
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 3: regular season, like they want to see if they can

380
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: put the foot down for one quarter and sort of

381
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 3: eliminate it. And I think that all the switching that

382
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: the Lakers do sort of plays into some of those

383
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: tendencies like ah, you know, Austin's got it. We'll let

384
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 3: really make that back line rotation.

385
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 6: It's fine, Yeah, Darius is exactly right. But the one

386
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: thing that I'll say, it's just straight out Offensively, they

387
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 6: have looked better at times. Defensively, they still look every

388
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 6: bit as lost as what Ad described in the you know,

389
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 6: like a down the stretch of the season last year

390
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 6: when they were laying for him. I'm no longer the

391
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 6: type person he just goes like, okay, get him out

392
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 6: of here. Look you can't. You can't keep going getting

393
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 6: rid of coaches. You know what you shout out to Frank.

394
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 6: Still I still feel strd for you.

395
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: No.

396
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: Look, man, I think we've all seen now that the

397
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Sons got rid of Frank and solved all their problems.

398
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: Everything's better now.

399
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, clearly the guy you want clearly the problem.

400
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: Same with the Lakers. When you guys got rid of him,

401
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: you went from winning a.

402
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: Title, uh, to.

403
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Forget Oh yeah yeah the plan, that's right.

404
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I think of the playoffs. So the

405
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: year he got fired, but that was the fault.

406
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: Nah, I think it was.

407
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 2: I think we got that uh the vocal effect.

408
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 6: But what it feels like to me is, look, we

409
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 6: know what Lebron is at this stage. He can still

410
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 6: you know, wrapped it up offensively in a lot of games. Defensively,

411
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 6: it's hit or miss, and it's going to be hit

412
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 6: or miss even you know, like from one, you know,

413
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 6: from one time down to the Knicks. That's fine, you're

414
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 6: forty something years old, Like I get it. You know,

415
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 6: a d when he's properly utilized, you know he can.

416
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 6: He still looks great. Reeves has been good for them,

417
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 6: but beyond that, look, they got a few style of

418
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 6: players left, but it's not enough, like you know, and

419
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm gonna do shameless Kendrick drops no matter what,

420
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: even if it fits into the conversation or not. But

421
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 6: I feel like, you know, the debate about like whether

422
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 6: this team can turn it on or you'll figure it out,

423
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 6: like we need to stop having net and it's either

424
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 6: go ahead and sell out for the field, you know,

425
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 6: sell out your future, or stop lying and just acknowledge, Okay,

426
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 6: we're just gonna play this, you know, play this out.

427
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 4: Where do you think they're gonna go with?

428
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 3: You know, I've been saying sort of a similar thing

429
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: and that like you know, if you're just trying to

430
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 3: sell tickets around Lebron and ad and you know that

431
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: that's that's sort of the goal for this team, and

432
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: you don't want to mortgage anymore of the future, Like

433
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: that's fine, but you also well, actually, no, it's not fine,

434
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: Like you should be trading off pieces and trying to

435
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: rebuild for the future, like no, no half measures. You know,

436
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: it's the breaking badism, like you should either be going

437
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: all in and use some of these picks to go

438
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: get better at the trade deadline or you or you're

439
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: just continuing to waste every one's time. And so I

440
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: also think that you know not to commit like the

441
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: I'm not saying the Lakers are better without Lebron, but

442
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: I will say that there were moments when he was

443
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: out emissively where it looked like they were not lazily

444
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: switching as often and they were a little bit more intact.

445
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: And I still think, you know, obviously, this team is

446
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: not going to be able to reach like its highest

447
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: heights without Lebron on the roster, Like there's just a

448
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: level of like athletic dynamism and playmaking that he gives

449
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: them that no one else on the roster has, Like

450
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: this team would be bad if Lebron just sat out

451
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: the rest of the season. This is not what I'm

452
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 3: trying to say, but I think that someone needs to

453
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: let him know that it's like, you know, even if

454
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: you have to take ten percent of your offense, you know,

455
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: a ratchet down your offensive effort a little bit, like

456
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: you've got to give a little bit more on defense

457
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 3: than you're giving. Because we've seen this year after year,

458
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: roster after roster, that it trickles down to the rest

459
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 3: of the guys. When you know, when he is sort

460
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: of yelling at you for getting that cut, well he

461
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: was just standing there.

462
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: You know.

463
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 3: It's like that is going to sap morale a little bit,

464
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: and it's good. You're not gonna see guys sell out

465
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: as hard to you know, stop their own man. And

466
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: you can't just have like someone just sort of getting

467
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 3: you know, just allowing players to you know, get loose

468
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: on the weak side. And so I do think that

469
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of he's going to lock in

470
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: more once they get closer to the playoffs, like that's

471
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: what we've seen him do. And so I think that

472
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: to some degree, they just got to get through this

473
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: right now, and I expect that like that effort will

474
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: ratchet up once it gets closer to you know, the

475
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: Promised Land. But yeah, it's kind of rough right now,

476
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: and it's it's not helping, you know, the rest of

477
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 3: the guys sort of find their footing.

478
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I think we just solve each other's problems.

479
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: You take mb, we take Lebron and be for Lebron.

480
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: Who says that straight up?

481
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 6: Teams say no to that, say both both teams cuss

482
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 6: each other out and then yeah, screaming it one another.

483
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: Like maybe that would have been anyway. I do just

484
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: want to raise is it too late to just all

485
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: out tank for both franchises because Cooper Flag put up

486
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: forty two points in a game.

487
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes because the Sixers, isn't the Sixers

488
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 3: pick only top six protected?

489
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

490
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yet I don't know that they're going to out

491
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 3: tank some of the other teams that are down there

492
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: at this point. It's good enough odds and the Lakers

493
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: straight up don't have their pick, so there's no benefit

494
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: for them in louzed like unless they unless they just

495
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 3: really want to do Atlanta favor and just send Cooper

496
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: Flag to Atlanta and help out Tray Young then yeah,

497
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: there's no incentive for them to tank this year.

498
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to be bottom six to get there.

499
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Embiid has been hurt. Now, Maxi's hurt. And

500
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: we were just talking about the Paul George draft before

501
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: you got on Harrison. Paul George, the other people in

502
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: that draft are long gone from the league.

503
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 3: Like he was fourteen, right, Yeah.

504
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: No, Paul Dredge is twenty ten, twenty ten. Yeah, John Walla,

505
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward is like the most recent person

506
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: who was like still playing excuse me, Jack.

507
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 4: That's education reform, as we.

508
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: Will always know.

509
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I didn't think Paul Paul George is like

510
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: one of the elder states man. I was like, yeah,

511
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: he's on the older side of his career. He is

512
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: all like he is up there, man.

513
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: I mean we should have guessed when he tried to

514
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: sort of like come for our jobs as a podcaster.

515
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, he is like like he's preparing for

516
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: that to be his primary source of income after the

517
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: Sixers contract.

518
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 4: You know, so next Lakers coach after JJ, is that

519
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: what you're saying?

520
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 3: Look, the podcaster to a Lakers coach pipeline is it's

521
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 3: it's it bore stronger results earlier in the year, I

522
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: would say, but I think JJ solid. So yeah, maybe

523
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: Paul George was that. That's that's what's next for him.

524
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna he's gonna be the next great podcaster turn coach.

525
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: So you're gonna let JJ stay. You're gonna trade Lebron.

526
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 3: One team should have to hire a podcaster every offseason, every.

527
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: And then they keep their show going though.

528
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 3: It's like the NFL has the has the show that

529
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: goes around a training camp that rotates around the league.

530
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, we spun the wheel, and like this

531
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 3: year it's okay, see sorry, you got to hire a podcaster.

532
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 4: Coach Bill Simmons taking over the Celtics.

533
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be like he know, like he'd actually be

534
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: an okay, maybe GM. He does like tend to have

535
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: a good sense of when the Celtics are good.

536
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: That's what.

537
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: Compared to other like basketball talking heads. As much as

538
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: we like to make fun of him, he does seem.

539
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: To like have a pretty good eye for the NBA.

540
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there would be worst podcasters to hire

541
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 3: as a head coach.

542
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, not me. Though I'm number one.

543
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: I think I would lose the locker rip like I

544
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: would make Adrian Griffin look like he was like in

545
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: the running for Coach of the Year early on with

546
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: the Bucks last year. Well, he kind of was, really,

547
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: he kind of was.

548
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 4: He was twenty twenty plus games over five up dred and.

549
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: They said, then, what's it like if they've been matched

550
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: that pool?

551
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: Once again? It was another team that changed the coach

552
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 3: and fixed all their problems, you know, as he solved

553
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: it as he has in all of his uh, all

554
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: the places he's gone.

555
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: I'd come in and inspire them with a tale of

556
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: Tony Delk picking my pocket repeatedly, and they'd be like,

557
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: this guy, here's what believe.

558
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: Me that I was meant to be a coach.

559
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: Right there you go.

560
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: Elsewhere around the league, the Pacers ended the Cavs winning

561
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: streak at twelve, find themselves up in the fifth seed

562
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. If everybody stays kind of where

563
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: they're at right now, that four or five six with

564
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: the you know, Pacers Orlando Milwaukee fighting it out, UH,

565
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: could be could be interesting. What are you feeling about?

566
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: Just is the East basically Boston and Cleveland. Is there

567
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: anybody else there who has got your eye a glimmering?

568
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I would say the Knicks their result against

569
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: the Thunder notwithstanding, you know, I know that they've they've

570
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 3: had sort of like a rougher you know, last couple

571
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: of weeks. I know they haven't been as good. But

572
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: I do still believe largely in that core. And I

573
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: also think that again, like that's a team that if

574
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: they can get to the playoffs healthy, which has been

575
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: a big if for Tibbs teams, you know, but he

576
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 3: is a guy that has them ready to go all

577
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: out for those playoff level minutes over the course of

578
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 3: a playoff series because he's already playing the playoff level

579
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 3: minutes the entire regular season. And so you know, guys

580
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: like Josh Hart, Guy's like whoever, Like they're in shape

581
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: for that. They're ready. They're not getting winded, you know

582
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: at the beginning at the start of playoff games. They're

583
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 3: ready for that intensity. So I do I like the Knicks.

584
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 3: And also, you know, like their top six is just

585
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: like incredible. So the Knicks in the East, I think

586
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 3: that's probably the only one other than the Cavs or self,

587
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 3: that like I don't know that I could see any

588
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 3: teams coming out of the East to the other than

589
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: those three.

590
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: Not Milwaukee.

591
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 3: You're not believe I'm not in on Yeah, I don't.

592
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: I mean they're okay, you know, respect to the NBA

593
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 3: Cup winners, but yeah, I don't. I don't see it.

594
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: Winning three rounds to get to the finals is a

595
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 3: tough It's just tough to see with that roster.

596
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Or Land is intriguing to me because they have like

597
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: such an incredible weapon and their defense, but you have

598
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: to make so many shots to make it to like

599
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: win the title like that, the ball has to go

600
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: in so many times.

601
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: The Rtlantos is a team that theoretically could get better

602
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: at the deadline because not only have they been like

603
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: really like really really banged up for the first half

604
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: of this year, but they have basically all of their

605
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 3: own draft picks, if not all of their own draft picks,

606
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: And so if there was a team that was like, hey,

607
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: poised to be a buyer and had a real reason

608
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: to because they have a really solid cores already and

609
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: they're like, hey, we're one super ball handling point guard

610
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: away from you know, being able to really compete here,

611
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 3: then you know, the magic could justify making an all

612
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: in push.

613
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 6: All right, here's here's my one crazy thing that I

614
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: say in each episode.

615
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Jabari is one crazy thing, one crazy thing by some medication.

616
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say something that you can you just drop

617
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 3: a sponsor name just for the what about Jimmy to

618
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 3: world and just go all in on being the guttiest

619
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 3: just filthiest team that like like like an inn a series.

620
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: You watch them play, you go, I feel sick to

621
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: my stomach watching that team play. I don't know, I

622
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: like it. It would just be I actually don't like.

623
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 3: It, to be honest, So you can be real, that's okay.

624
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:26,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

625
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: I feel like every time we're like yeah, what if

626
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: they just like steer into their identity. What if they're like, yeah,

627
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: we'll get even bigger and everyone's.

628
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: A big guy. I feel like it like doesn't always

629
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: work out that well.

630
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: You know what if we had another guy who wants

631
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 3: the ball and can't shoot, you know, yeah, and then

632
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna yell at all of our good vibes players

633
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: if things are going well yeah.

634
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, meh, what if the vibes were bad?

635
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 4: We're really bad on this team that has really good vibes.

636
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: If the Kings were not streaking right now, I would say,

637
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: like the you know, Vespiana. We wrote a story for

638
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 3: Espionation about how dearon Fox would be a great target

639
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: for them, and you know, obviously it seems unlikely that

640
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: that's going to happen.

641
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: Now.

642
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: It seems like the Kings have sort of righted the

643
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: ship and probably.

644
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Want to be like I have won seven in a row,

645
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: since they're not going to blow it up at the

646
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: deadline anymore.

647
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: But you know, someone like that, if they could get

648
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: like a quick point guard or someone at some shooting,

649
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: you know, I think that would help them a lot.

650
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: Doug Christie Also, this is the Jacks Don't Look Now

651
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: segment of the Week. We're adding a bunch of sponsored

652
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: segments right now just because, yeah, just because, well why not.

653
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Jacks Don't Look Now of the Week brought to you

654
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: by Super There. It is so easy to drive, you

655
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: don't even have to look while you're driving.

656
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: Don't look now.

657
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: The Pistons are now above five hundred at twenty one

658
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: and nineteen after going eight and two over the last

659
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: ten games.

660
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 2: That's incredible for them.

661
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: Like I'm sad to say, I'm incredibly jealous of the Pistons,

662
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: And I don't know, do we think they should be

663
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 1: buyers or do we think they should just be like

664
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: this is so fun, let's just like see where we

665
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: take it.

666
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: What do you think?

667
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 3: If I were them, I would stick with what they

668
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: have because I don't think that you're gonna I don't

669
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: think that whatever you add at this deadline is going

670
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: to be enough to sort of like push you towards

671
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: any meaningful playoff run this year. Like I would continue

672
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: to evaluate. I would actually see, you know, if not

673
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: necessarily be sellers, but see if you can you know,

674
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: because they they're one of the teams that they're They're

675
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: part of the reason why the trade deadline probably is

676
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: not going to be like that crazy active is because

677
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 3: they were originally a team with cap space that you

678
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: would have pinpointed is like, Okay, they're that third team

679
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: that's gonna help facilitate some of these deals between contenders.

680
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: They'll take on some draft picks, take on some money,

681
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: you know, sort of make the financial stuff work. But

682
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, like they could still do something like that,

683
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: but they may not be as inclined to just like

684
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 3: sort of take dead salary and so that might mess

685
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 3: up the trade deadline for know a number of other teams,

686
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: which you know isn't the Pistons prerogative, but you know

687
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 3: it sort of does sort of throw a wrench in

688
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: some of these scenarios because of the new Apron rules

689
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: around like first second Apron and you know how much

690
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 3: teams can take back in the trade. You a lot

691
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: of times need that third facilitating partner, and you know,

692
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: they can run it back or I guess continue to

693
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: run it with this roster. Yeah, because it's not running

694
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: it back. They're still in this season, but they can

695
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 3: continue to sort of run with this roster and then

696
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: potentially they're going to be like good players available, you know,

697
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: this off season in sort of salary dumps because teams

698
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: are going to be dealing with these like honorous tax

699
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: penalties and onerous honorous So I think that they should

700
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 3: I would say the course if I was them, I

701
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: think that you know, you're in the middle of a

702
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: fun season. You're you're in the most fun type of

703
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 3: NBA season, arguably like a team that wasn't expected to

704
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: be that good and it's now like really fun for

705
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 3: their fans if they can like chase a play in

706
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: birth playoff birth, Like, I think that's enough, and then

707
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: you continue to build on that strong young core.

708
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 6: So say they do this, Say they go that route

709
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 6: and shout out to j B Biggest for the job

710
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 6: that he's done there.

711
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, say say they go.

712
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 6: That route and you know, they get a play in

713
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 6: you know situation where they lose, and you know, but

714
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 6: they was it was a good experience. What type of

715
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 6: player would you like to pair with Kate?

716
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: That's a good question, you know. I think you probably

717
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 3: need like like another guard that can handle a little

718
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: bit and can also like relieve some of the pressure

719
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: on him by being able to shoot. You know. I

720
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 3: think that's probably what they need the money, because he's

721
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: like he's a point guard but sort of you know,

722
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 3: like he's a guy that could probably he's a little

723
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: bit combo GUARDI and I don't mean that it's like

724
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: the insult that a lot of people mean it as

725
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: when they're like basically saying you're a bench guard a

726
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: combo guard. That just means you're a bench guard. You know,

727
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: you're not good enough to start at shooting guard or

728
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: point guard. No, like he's clearly above that level. He's

729
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: a playmaker. But I think that they could use like,

730
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: probably you know, a point guard that can, you know it,

731
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: take a little bit more gravity off of him and

732
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: pull some of those defenders away, like Jade and Ivy's good,

733
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: but he's just not that level of shooter yet, and

734
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: so I think the like adding like a point guard

735
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: with a little bit more shooting ability would probably be

736
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 3: the ideal backcourt partner for him.

737
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 4: I can see it.

738
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 2: I like it.

739
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 3: Listen up, just gonna try and trade him to every

740
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 3: team everyone, even though they're good.

741
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: A trade between our two don't look now teams. And finally,

742
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: don't look now. Zion's finally back. And he did a

743
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: sick windmill three sixty that I don't know, seemed like

744
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: he was inadvertently revealing that he has superpowers. Like it's

745
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: just incredible. It's just like, oh, yeah, I was I

746
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: was hurt in quotes, but watch me do this. But anyways,

747
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: very excited about that. I think he was suspended like

748
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: a game, but uh from missing a team flight. But

749
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be

750
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back, and it is the rapid

751
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: fire out of questioning, Harrison, you're gonna want to give

752
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: us first answer that comes to mind. We're gonna be

753
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: firing shots at you and you just gotta come back

754
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: bounce them back right at us.

755
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 3: As longtime listeners know, I always do really great at

756
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 3: the segment to giving you a break.

757
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: One of the best, one of the best world. All right, Jabari,

758
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: you want to start?

759
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I did throw that silly one in there,

760
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 6: and I will probably proudly.

761
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: Ask Brian start the clock.

762
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Brian, start the clock? All right?

763
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 6: This or that scenario, which would be the more dominant player?

764
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 4: You got fun?

765
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 6: You got three of them coming out, Shack with free

766
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 6: throw touch or Kobe with Curry's shot.

767
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: Oh, Pat, I'm going Shock with free throw touch. Yeah,

768
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: I'll do respect to Kobe. You see, Shack with free

769
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: throw touch is an unstoppable player that wins like eight

770
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: titles in a row.

771
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: Yes, what are we talking? Free throw percenter is like

772
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: we're talking MBID.

773
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: Seventy five to eighty, you know, not like ninety, but

774
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: you know a good I thought we were giving him

775
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: like Steve Nash level free throws, you know, I mean,

776
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 3: you can get likenight perc.

777
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: Let's say eighty, let's say.

778
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: Eight Eightyes, MB, that would be nice.

779
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Embi, it is still going.

780
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: It's so nice having somebody who's that big and can

781
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: get to the line in his area.

782
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: Definitely going shot in today's era. I think you can

783
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 3: make an argument for Kobe with Curry's shot, just because

784
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 3: shooting is so valuable now and just being able to

785
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 3: get up that number threes is huge. But I also

786
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 3: don't know if that like takes away from what made

787
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 3: Kobe great, which is like sort of a lot of

788
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: the mid range footwork stuff, you know whatever, Like are

789
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: you taking him out of some of the positions that

790
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 3: sort of made him special.

791
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Well, the thing with that is that you would need

792
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: Kobe to like actually take those shots, and like I

793
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: don't know that he'd want to get you know, always

794
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: take the shots if he had that kind of stroke.

795
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 3: Oh actually told Kobe, They're like, you have the green light,

796
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 3: launch as soon as you cross half court.

797
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Twenty a game, twenty a game, twenty three is a

798
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: game he would be.

799
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 4: Shooting twenty a game.

800
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: Do you think it would average like thirty shots a game?

801
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh, probably would be unprecedent. It would be will Emberlain,

802
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: like it would be just like nobody touches this thing.

803
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 3: He actually he finally would crack the one hundred, you

804
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: know he would he would get you know, just on

805
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 3: shooting variants one night.

806
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: Like cracked it with not a great three point shot

807
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: close Like imagine.

808
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 6: Magic with Jordan's athleticism or Wimby with Shack strength while

809
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 6: maintaining his flexibility.

810
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 3: I gotta got I'm shack pilled. I guess is what

811
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 3: we're finding out. I gotta go Wemby with Shack. I'm

812
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 3: sorry that that that is an unstoppable player to me.

813
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean is checked strength. But does he have Shack's body.

814
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 4: Like that's current body.

815
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: Wemby's current body, but somehow like he would just be

816
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: like exploding off of his body.

817
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 3: How does he hit so hard?

818
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, man, Magic with Jordan's athleticism would be

819
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. I mean it's not like Magic was a

820
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: bad athlete or anything, but.

821
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: Oh no, he wasn't great by NBA standards. Posted Yeah,

822
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 3: like if you.

823
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 6: Were taking off from the free throw line and it's

824
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 6: like this is a different conversation.

825
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's right, yeah, and still has the same

826
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: playmaking vision and whatever.

827
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: So not probably, he's probably like Lebron, right, just Lebron.

828
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 3: It's funny you mentioned that Lebron. Yeah, because the.

829
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 6: Last one I got here for you is Kareem with

830
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 6: AIS handle or Lebron.

831
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 4: It's seven foot.

832
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: I can't believe that we're debating whether or not a

833
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 3: I would enhance Kareem at this point. Is there's nothing

834
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 3: that this that it's not that, it's not going to touch.

835
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: There's no industry a slap Lebron aka Jokic.

836
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 2: Come on, man, that's not Joic. What are you talking about.

837
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 3: I mean, look, it's Lebron. He stills Lebron's speed and yeah, no,

838
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: it's got to be Lebron. I'm sorry.

839
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: Oh so Lebron's speed like Jokic got it?

840
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 6: Just like it exactly. Yeah, the guy that was beating

841
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 6: my guy, Anthony Davis down the court.

842
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes when I'm watching Lebron highlights and Yokic highlights, I

843
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 3: get the mixed up. Yeah, it's just I got I'm like,

844
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: hold on rewinding.

845
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 4: Was that that was light skin Lebron? That was light skin.

846
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: Labrun And finally you have to help us pick the

847
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: game of the week. Our last guest did a bad job.

848
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. They they picked Thunder at

849
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: the Knicks and it was a snoozefest.

850
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: The Thunder destroyed them.

851
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: Uh, you can't let that happen, Harrison. Are our fans,

852
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: our listeners are counting on you. The NBA is counting

853
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: on you. All right, here are your candidates coming up

854
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: Thursday tonight. For many of the people listening to this,

855
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: you got the Calves of the Thunder.

856
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a tough one to compete with.

857
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: That. What I was gonna pick very quickly Friday Magic

858
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: at Celtics on ESPN or Grizzlies at Spurs also on ESPN.

859
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: Calves at Wolves on Saturday or Sunday, And this one's

860
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: gonna be not that hard to compete with Lakers at

861
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Clippers or Nuggets at Magic, both local games.

862
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 2: Gets the magic? All right?

863
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: Which one are you picking?

864
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: I Calves Thunder I think is the obvious case.

865
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 2: You know that way, let's not get let's just do

866
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 2: the right one.

867
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll say that. Second up, though, I think pretty

868
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 3: clearly is Spurs Grizzlies, because that is one of those

869
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 3: games where it's like you have an opportunity to see

870
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 3: two of like the sort of one of one athletes

871
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 3: in today's game, like that that that game I'm willing

872
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: to predict will be maybe Calf's Thunder will be a

873
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 3: better game, but that game will probably produce the most

874
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: TikTok highlights.

875
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, fun God, just still so fun to watch.

876
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 3: It's like John Wemby trying to just like out TikTok

877
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: each other, you know, just like with the like we're

878
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: we're not playing for the winner of the game. We're

879
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 3: playing for who is going to be the Sports Center

880
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 3: Top ten play tonight?

881
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 4: You know.

882
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's two people who appear to be Marvel

883
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: characters in most highlights. Like it doesn't make sense, all right,

884
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: Harrison Fagan, you have u successfully completed the gauntlet. You've

885
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: made it through the rabbit fire round of questions, you

886
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: got all the answers correct somehow. Congratulations. Where can people
