1
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't eat breakfast in the morning so I can

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: come to work hungry, so when I get to lunch,

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm hungry. And that's just the kind of person I am.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: I know, my two thousand and three Chevy Taho's got

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot of play this week so far, but like,

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't have AC and it doesn't have heat. And

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: the reason I do that is so I can practice

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: my mental toughness during the winter when it's cold, and

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: I can practice my mental toughness during the summer when

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: it's hot. That's the type of person I am.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Good mornings, sweet world.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,960

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday. We got a lot of games to

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: talk about. Ley, we got somes, this news JD's got

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: tweeted the night. You never know where that's gonna go. Nope,

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: usually doesn't have anything to do with basketball. So we'll

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: get ready everybody. But first a little hoops. Let's go

55
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: through some of the big games from last night. First one, Lely,

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: you're going to get a started. The Suns snapped your

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: New York Knicks nine game win streak with the one

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: to eighteen one ten victory. Booker and Chris Ball doing

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: special things down the stretch. But a really good game.

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 5: I thought, Yeah, it was a great game, and the

61
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: Knicks early on looked like they were going to make

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: it ten in a row. In that first half, the

63
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: ball was dropping, they were hitting all their shots. But

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 5: and the Sons, you know, on the second night of

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 5: a back to back, end of a long road trip.

66
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 6: You thought maybe the.

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 5: Suns just haven't quite got enough in this one. But

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter, I thought they had more juice

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 5: than the Knicks. I thought the Knicks actually looked, if anything,

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: a little lethargic themselves, And I thought, what was really important,

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 5: the Sun's got some good minutes out of Cam Johnson

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 5: and Michal Bridges hits in Big three's. Cam Johnson had

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: been struggling, but he hit a couple. I think it's

74
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 5: three in the fourth quarter there, which really shows the

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: improved depth of the Suns. Booker was great in this one,

76
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: of course, thirty three points, but those guys contributing during

77
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: that key stretch of the fourth quarter to get the

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: the lead. And then Chris Paul when the game's on

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: the line, if the ball in his hands, he's going

80
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: to do it. We saw it from the thunder last season.

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 5: He's done it so many times throughout his career. Closed

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 5: out with three big shots. One of them was just ridiculous.

83
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 5: You know, he's just been incredible all season long. Very

84
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 5: impressive win for the Suns. Again, as I mentioned, that

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 5: fifth game end of a long road trip here, that

86
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: second two days in a row. But they pulled it out,

87
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: and you know, I thought about at the end of

88
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 5: this game, who do you think we talked a little

89
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 5: bit about MVP votes at the end of the season.

90
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 5: Who's going to get more of those end of the

91
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: ballot votes? Randall or Chris Paul?

92
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 6: Do you guys think?

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 5: And then I've got a follow up question after that,

94
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 5: who will get.

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: More end of the ballot MVP votes? Chris Paul or

96
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: Julius Frailer. It's tough, honestly, because the Sons are going

97
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: to have a drastically better record. They're going to have

98
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: the number one record in the damn League, so that's

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: going to warrant some votes. But then I worry will

100
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: they be split between Booker and Chris Paul a little bit?

101
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: I think Chris Paul's gonna get light Randall ah, Man,

102
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: I guess I go Chris Paul Trey. That's my answer

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: to that one. Do you have a guess?

104
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 4: I would lean Chris Paul based a little bit on

105
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: the reputation, no doubt, But yeah, I mean that's probably

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: gonna be pretty fair between the two of them. Like,

107
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: I think one of those two has a solid chance

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 4: of at least coming in fifth you know, and that's

109
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: kind of an accomplishment, like making the final four in

110
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament, ending up in the top five of

111
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: an MVP ballot, that's a little bit of an achievement

112
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 4: to have under your cap. I guess I would lean

113
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: towards Chris Paul since it's been a while since we've

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 4: seen him in the top five of an MVP and

115
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: what he's doing with the suns and the clutch scoring

116
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 4: and just making shots when the Sons need him every

117
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 4: single night. I think he would probably be the guy.

118
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 4: But you can't deny a New York bump. You can't

119
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 4: deny Julius Randall's improvement bringing the Knicks back. But maybe

120
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 4: that's part of the problem with his case, is that

121
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: he's a lock to win m IP, so maybe that

122
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 4: hurts the votes in the MVP thing. Nonetheless, they're in

123
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: the restaurant. Welcome to the rest Yeah, yeah, let us

124
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: know what you want. We may have a few things

125
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: left over. We can split it this year.

126
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, and then and then following up from that,

127
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 5: yeah there, yeah, yeah beautiful. I mean, where does Devin

128
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 5: Booker finish in the MVP rights does you finish top ten?

129
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: You know, because come on, well you don't think so.

130
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: Well, you're you're in about two guys in the top

131
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: ten from the same team, Why don't I mean one?

132
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying is I think Booker and

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 5: Chris Paul are those fifth place ballots votes. I think

134
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 5: Devin book is going to get a fair few of

135
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: them as well.

136
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 4: Sounds like they don't have an MVP.

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: Then I'm just saying, That's what I'm saying. I think that, like,

138
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 5: they've both been so good. But do you give to

139
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 5: Chris Paul because he's like, well, he's the veteran, he's

140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 5: the leader of that team, or do you say, well,

141
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: Devin book has been awesome as well this season, so

142
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: he's going to get few because he was great last night,

143
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: Devin Booker with thirty three points, but it was Chris

144
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 5: Paul at the end of the game to close it

145
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: out that sort of almost stole some of Devin Booker's limelight,

146
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 5: I thought from that game. So I just think that

147
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 5: they're both going to get some votes.

148
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: Well, okay, hold only if you can only give one

149
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: of them a vote. It sounds like you're giving Chris

150
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: Paul the MVP of the Suns. Yeah, is that what

151
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: you're that's where you're ultimately deciding on. Yes, I am.

152
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 5: But but again, I think I think people are going

153
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 5: to recognize what Devin Booker has done as well this season,

154
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: and he's gonna pick up a few of those vote parts.

155
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: I think I think it's gonna happen because again, he's

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: been so good for them, you know, scoring the ball

157
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: and shooting. He stepped his game up. But again when

158
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: the game was on the line there last night, it

159
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 5: was Chris Paul just said, now I'm closing this one

160
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 5: out because that's what he does.

161
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

162
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: No, great timing here for Chris Paul, like a big game,

163
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: snapping a huge win streak against the hot New York Knicks. Yeah,

164
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: some insane shots there, that one that he just flips up,

165
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: threw up. I mean, it just drops good timing in

166
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: the sense like, oh yeah, MVP of votes are going

167
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: to be placed somewhat soon here, Trey, like in the

168
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: next couple of weeks, i'd imagine, right, So yeah, that'll

169
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: help his case. I think he ultimately finished his higher

170
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: than Booker, and I'll have him just ahead of Randall

171
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: there wherever that is, because I'm still not even convinced

172
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: either of those guys is a top five finish because like,

173
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, you do have guys like Lillard and

174
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: Luca and like of course Curry most people have in

175
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: the top three. It's going to be very difficult. So

176
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: maybe one of them gets in the top five. We

177
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: will see great great game though, Suns, man, I know

178
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: we're gonna get to the Jazz losing again in a second.

179
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: Suns are what one game back from the Utah Jazz

180
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 3: for the number one seed in the Western Conference. That's

181
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: pretty incredible and I think definitely helping the case for

182
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: Money Williams to win Coach of the Year too. If

183
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: we're talking awards here on a Tuesday tray, I mean,

184
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: if they are the number one seed, I don't know

185
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: how he doesn't win it at that point.

186
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: How many votes is Chris Paul gonna get for Coach

187
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: of the Year? Oh?

188
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 6: I like you.

189
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 4: Oh, they might splip that one as well. How far

190
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: down the ballot does he finish? The main thing for

191
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: this game, though, I'm a little disappointed that the Knicks

192
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: couldn't keep their end of the bargain because I was

193
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: looking forward to the Bulls snapping a ten game, losing straight,

194
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: our winning straight. Unfortunate stuff from the Knicks coming short

195
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 4: in the clutch when it really mattered.

196
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about that Eastern Conference tenth scene.

197
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: Your Bulls in the mix. I'm gonna throw three games

198
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,359
Speaker 3: at you, Trey. We had the Spurs outlasting the Whizzizards

199
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: in overtime. They ended Washington's you know, streak of eighth straight.

200
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: The Bulls held off the heat late. They win one

201
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: ten there in Miami. And then the Raptors they beat

202
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: the Cavaliers one twelve ninety six. All three of these

203
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: teams Wizards, Bulls, Raps trying to get into the play

204
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 3: in tournament, Wizards trying to hold on for dear life

205
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: there with the ten seed. Who's taking this thing? Or

206
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: what did you think of all three of those games?

207
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: Two of these games won these games, like, what a

208
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 3: what a crazy game? That's first Wizards one one. I

209
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: don't if you saw that they were trading shot for

210
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: shot Derosic, beals Brook, Murray. It was awesome that one.

211
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 4: What do you think call the Southern lawyer because we

212
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: got all sales race. Everybody is talking about and obsessed

213
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 4: with three teams that are combined twenty five games under

214
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: five hundred. We're living and dying with these losers and guys.

215
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 4: It feels amazing. What a night last night for the

216
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: race for the tenth seed. I guess start with the Wizards.

217
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: I think their game was over first. Like you mentioned,

218
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: skeets zero defense in this one. Both teams shot fifty

219
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 4: three percent, and I think it was killing Drew Gooden

220
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 4: on the broadcast down the stretch. He just kept saying,

221
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 4: whichever team gets a stop first, he's gonna get the

222
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 4: win here. Whichever team gets a stop first is gonna

223
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: get the win here. Uh, not a lot of stops.

224
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: I felt like that meme of the guy who's like, Nope,

225
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: not this time, not this time, try again. Forty five

226
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 4: for Bradley Beal on the night. Another triple double for

227
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook, but Bill missed a three to tie things

228
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 4: at the buzzer. The streak is over thanks to thirty

229
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 4: seven and ten. I think that was assists right.

230
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 6: Skeets.

231
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 4: DeRozan was great nine in the fourth quarter. There's that

232
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: fun moment right at the end of regulation with Westbrook

233
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 4: was guarding him. He got a stop. Wait, there was

234
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 4: a stop there? For Drew Gooden. Wait a second, the

235
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: Wizards were the first team to get a stop and

236
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: they didn't win. Something doesn't add up. But you do

237
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: love to see a former Raptor helping the Raptors. Speaking

238
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: of the Raptors, they took care of business. You gotta

239
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: beat the Calves to stay in the mix. The Bulls

240
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: lost to them recently. That was a bad loss, but

241
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 4: no problem for Toronto. Twenty five for Siakam eighteen for

242
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: Malachi Flynn. The biggest story from this one was obviously

243
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: Kevin Love. Will get to that in a little bit.

244
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: As for the Balls, I would say that was their

245
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 4: biggest win of the season. Last night, Wow down four

246
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: with eight minutes left, playing against a full strength Heat team.

247
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 4: I mean they had no Tyler Hero, but a basically

248
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 4: full strength Heat team. I said the Laura, these are

249
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: the biggest eight minutes of the season. How many times

250
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: have I talked to you guys about the Bulls blowing

251
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 4: a game in the fourth quarter. Not this time. They

252
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 4: responded kind of blew out the Heat, outscoring them by

253
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 4: twelve in the game's last eight minutes, won the fourth

254
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: quarter thirty four to twenty, largely thanks to Daniel Tye

255
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 4: Tyson Tys Baby ten points, seven rebounds in the fourth

256
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: for Tys played all twelve minutes, finished with twenty three

257
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 4: and twelve. He's been the bulls best player since the

258
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: trade deadline. I would say Vouch added twenty four points,

259
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 4: eleven rebounds. He hit four threes. Bad loss for the

260
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: heat honestly, considering that they're actually still playing for something.

261
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: So the Wizards are in tenth place right now. The

262
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: Bulls are a game back, but they've got the tiebreaker

263
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: over the Wizards and the Raptors. The Raptors currently are

264
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: tied with the Bulls. Raptors have a tie break over

265
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: the Wizards, obviously not the Bulls. So who's got the

266
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 4: advantage here? Absolutely no one. Looking at the schedule, the

267
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 4: easiest by far is the Wizards. But the Bulls have

268
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: all East teams and the Raptors get to play both

269
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: the Bulls and the Wizards. With's give them a chance

270
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: to make some moves into standing here That game on

271
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: May thirteenth between the Bulls and Raptors. Man, this is

272
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: turning into a surprisingly big game right now.

273
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: I love the play in tournament.

274
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 4: I just love it.

275
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I was on a podcast Off the Bench

276
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: shout out to our Filipino listeners last night, and I

277
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: was asked like, hey, Luca doesn't like to play in tournament.

278
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: What do you think? And Lee I said, selfishly, as

279
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: someone that sits here every day and talks about basketball

280
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: for a living, I fucking love to play in tournament.

281
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 2: Like I said, like all these teams, they somewhat suck.

282
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: They're ten games below five hundred and at this point

283
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: of any other yearly we're never talking about them. You know,

284
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: the Bulls beat the Heat last night. We maybe mention

285
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: it from the Heat side of things, going, oh man, wow,

286
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: they're near the bottom of the playoff race. Oh that's

287
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: all tough loss. We wouldn't say anything about Chicago, the

288
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: Raptors long gone. The Wizards, you know, such a bad start.

289
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: Oh okay, whatever, They're just the Wizards. But here we are,

290
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: we are talking about them, and it for us again selfishly,

291
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: it's a lot more exciting here in the doldrums. I

292
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: guess of the late NBA season to have like races

293
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: to get excited about, even if it just means these

294
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: teams get in and lose. They don't even get into

295
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: the actual playoffs. Or even if they got waxed in

296
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: the first round, at least it's something, right.

297
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 5: Ah yeah, And this is how it was designed because

298
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 5: you want to be able to talk about these teams

299
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 5: at the bottom. This is exactly what Adam Silva talked

300
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: about because it does mimic what happens in soccer in Europe.

301
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 5: You know, the relegation battle. You've got those bottom five

302
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: or six teams all trying desperately to just stay alive

303
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: because no one wants to go down a division. And

304
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 5: it does make it exciting because all those teams normally

305
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 5: that have got no chance of you know, of obviously

306
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 5: winning the championship, but they've got a chance to win

307
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: something else.

308
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 6: And this play in to ornament.

309
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 5: I mean, if you finished tenth, you're not afraid of

310
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: anybody you're facing in that round in a one or

311
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 5: potentially two game elimination. So you know, I mean Westbrook,

312
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: he's been playing great. I had another triple double again

313
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: last night and he talked his trash afterwards, which was

314
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: great for him.

315
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 6: But this is exactly what we want.

316
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 5: There's only really, I guess three teams in the Eastern

317
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: Conference who you can completely rule out right now. That's

318
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: the Pistons, the Cavs and forgetting magic. Yeah, so they're

319
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 5: out of it, which is which is fine. This is

320
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: what you want to do. You want to you want

321
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: to have create some excitement at the bottom. So it's working,

322
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 5: and you know, regardless of you know, we're not going

323
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 5: to see always great games in that play in, but

324
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: it's just bringing excitement and keeping people, keeping people's attention

325
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 5: late into the season because as you mentioned, ordinarily the Wizards,

326
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: I think a three and a half games back of eighth,

327
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: that's almost too much of a hill to climb at

328
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 5: this point at the sea. But right now it's like

329
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 5: it does not matter. Hey, you get in. Once you

330
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 5: get into that situation, and again it's a potentially one

331
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: game scenario. That's what we all want to see because

332
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 5: it's exciting.

333
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Some people like push back on the playing tournament

334
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: and they're like, well, now there's just too many teams right,

335
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: like making the playoffs. Okay, okay. My counter to that is,

336
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: especially for your wrestling fans out there, the Royal Rumbles, right, you.

337
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: Know, thirty people, thirty men sometimes women.

338
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: Hell, they're even in the Royal Rumble. How many of

339
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: them legit ever have a chance to actually win that

340
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: thing from year to years.

341
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 4: Let's all.

342
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: You can give me a list of five or six

343
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: where you're like, all right, they could win the rumble.

344
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: That's big. I'm talking about.

345
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: More current superstars and then maybe whoever the random returning

346
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 4: exact Stler is.

347
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: Right, exactly, just like an NBA season, the NBA playoffs,

348
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: there's always like five teams tops, really that could win

349
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Does that mean we should just get

350
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: rid of the other twenty five people in the rumble?

351
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: No, that's what makes the rumble fun.

352
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. We want to see the big show.

353
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: We want to see it take fifteen guys to throw

354
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: the big show out of the ring. Right, That's what

355
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: it's gonna be like for these play in teams trying

356
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: to get the number one seed out. I cannot wait

357
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: to talk myself into the tenth seed beating the one seed. Sure,

358
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: the first game of the actual first round of the playoffs.

359
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 4: It's given these teams something to play for. You know,

360
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 4: the Raptors got fined for resting their players. That would

361
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: be how easy it would be to completely tank away

362
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 4: the season?

363
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 6: Right?

364
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could easily just say We're gonna shut things down.

365
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: We're gonna keep Lowry healthy. We're gonna get some developmental

366
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: minutes to Malachi Flynn. All that stuff is still happening.

367
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: But at least the Raptors, the Bulls, the Wizards have

368
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 4: something to play for, even if it's just one more game.

369
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Martlin's Marlin's got it here, Lee, Sorry to

370
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: keep running with the wrestling analogy. The Raptors have a

371
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: great shot at being Scotty too haughty this year a

372
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: fun elimination. This is my point, Marlin. This is entertainment. Okay,

373
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: we could have a fatal four way match. Sure, that's great.

374
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: We just have the best of the best. But why

375
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 3: not get the jobbers in there too? You know, you

376
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 3: never know, you can start talking yourself into Scottie too, Heidi.

377
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 3: Maybe somehow this.

378
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 4: Is golf Zigglers year.

379
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, right, So sorry, you are going.

380
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 5: To say, well, I was just gonna say. I mean,

381
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 5: if you go back to the We Believe Warriors right now.

382
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 5: They won their last five games of the regular season

383
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: to get into the playoffs, and then they upset the Mavericks.

384
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 5: You know, the red hot sixty seven win Mavericks that season.

385
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 5: So you know, if the right team is playing at

386
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 5: the right time and the right way, things can happen.

387
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 5: You know, things can happen. So you know, that's obviously

388
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 5: one example that's happened over over, you know, fifty years.

389
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen very often, but we've seen the Grizzlies

390
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 5: upset the San Antonio Spurs when they drop down to

391
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 5: the eight speed spot to upset them. So you know,

392
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 5: it's it's not, I don't think, just an automatic assumption

393
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: that the teams that do make it in are just

394
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 5: going to be fodder anyway in the first round. I mean,

395
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 5: obviously you don't want to face the Brooklyn Nets. They're

396
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 5: a very intimidating, dominating team. But just if that team

397
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 5: is playing at the right the right way, at the

398
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: right time, and they've got that they're on all, that

399
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 5: first rand can still be somewhat exciting.

400
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: You know, there's still some hard They almost don't even

401
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: care about the one eight matchup. I really just am

402
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: looking at it from last night's point of view of

403
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: like I was tuning into the Spurs Wizards game in

404
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: late April, and I was like following it basket for basket,

405
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: like I'm living and dying with a DeRozan, you know,

406
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: turnaround at the buzzer there that doesn't drop it. It

407
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: goes halfway in and pops that were going over to

408
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: oh and then Murray with a huge deal and Beal

409
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: coming back, And like I was into that because of course,

410
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: you know, the Spurs are playing for their own spot

411
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: in the playing tournament. They keep jockey in position with

412
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: the Warriors. Then I want the Spurs to win, so

413
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: the Wizards lose, so the Raptors' chances and the bulls

414
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: chances are improved. Like yeah, I mean that to me,

415
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: it's a win. Like I'm into these games. A lot

416
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 3: more people are into these games, and you're right, Lee,

417
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: maybe the payoff is, oh, maybe that team that was

418
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: banged up really early in the season, missing a star

419
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: player for a good chunk of it, they go on

420
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: that huge second half run and suddenly they get into

421
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 3: this playing tournament. They win their way in and then

422
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: they're like, ooh, nobody wants to play them. That could happen, too, right,

423
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: you know, like like a crazy example would be suddenly

424
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson or something like coming back for the warrisor right,

425
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: oh god, damn, like that would suck if you were, like,

426
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: you know, the first seed or the second seed and

427
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: you're playing the Warriors, or if they're the seventh or

428
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: eight seeds. So anyway, Yeah, exciting stuff there last night,

429
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: we're all in all the boys are buzzing about the

430
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: play in tournament. Man, we love it. Okay, let's talk

431
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: about the Kevin Love incident. We'll call it that very weird.

432
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 3: He is frustrated with appears to be the official there

433
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: who gives him the ball and he just slaps it

434
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 3: in that's in play and Flynn knocks down the three.

435
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: This is obviously getting a lot of buzz here this morning.

436
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 3: People have a lot of opinions on this trey. We'll

437
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 3: start with you, like, what did you think here of

438
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: Kevin Love's turnover there?

439
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 4: Hilarious? I think this is going to go down in

440
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 4: history with Jr. Like high fiving Jason Terry during a

441
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: play and somebody getting a wide open three from the corner.

442
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 4: As just what is going on here there? Obviously extenuating

443
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 4: circumstances with Kevin Love. He was mad about some calls

444
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 4: prior to this play. But when it gets clipped out

445
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: onto the Raptors Twitter feed, basically just showing Stanley Johnson's

446
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 4: basketball IQ and uscle to get that play. I thought

447
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 4: that was hilarious. I thought that was very funny. But

448
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: I will also say Kevin Love best powder in the game,

449
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 4: and maybe there's something happening here, because let's think back

450
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 4: to the past with Kevin Love. Remember the Isaiah Thomas

451
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 4: handoff pass where he just handed him the ball and

452
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: everybody's like, oh boy, he doesn't like Isaiah Thomas. Guess

453
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: what happened very soon after Isaiah Thomas was traded about

454
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: last season when Kevin Love was whipping passes at teammates

455
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: early last season, what happened very soon after John Beeline resigned.

456
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 4: So now we got this hilarious turnover. Obviously, nothing can

457
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 4: really happen with the Cavs right now since we're past

458
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: the trade deadline. But I think people might be surprised

459
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: to know Kevin Love has actually played eighteen games this season.

460
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 4: He is totally a forgotten man for Cleveland. He's got

461
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 4: two years after this season on his deal. Get him

462
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: out of there, like the Calves. Gotta find a trade

463
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: for this guy over the summer. You know, it's always

464
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 4: kind of been CJ. McCollum for Kevin Love has always

465
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 4: been talked about for years and years, ever since Kevin

466
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: Love signed his second or his next deal there with

467
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 4: the Calves. I don't think that's as appealing for Cleveland

468
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: at this point, considering they're building around two guards already,

469
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't make sense to me that they would bring

470
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: McCollum in. But Kevin Love is just straight up languishing

471
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 4: there in Cleveland, Like, I don't know. I saw he

472
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 4: had like a double double recently. It was like, oh,

473
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 4: neat right, Like that's just what it is. It's like

474
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 4: the only time we hear from Kevin Love is if

475
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: it's bad at this point, so I don't know it was.

476
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 4: It was not a very professional thing to do, but

477
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 4: he had some bad calls go against him, so I

478
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 4: don't know. I kind of just feel bad for the

479
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: guy at this point.

480
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: Well that's the thing. Are we giving him a little

481
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: bit of a pass? Just going ah, feel bad for

482
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: the guy, Lee, I mean, he is the vet of

483
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 3: this team. He just threw a damn temper tantrum with

484
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: the officials who frustrated. But that's a bad look to

485
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: your younger teammates, I think. I mean of course it's

486
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: not professional. It's a bit of a you know, a

487
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: history with him as TK took us through to where

488
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 3: he does have these like pouting or like well little

489
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 3: he's like maybe he's the real temper boy. Now that

490
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: I think about it, goin to give him the title.

491
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: But but what do you think of Like is he

492
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: getting a pass here a little bit? Because I'm seeing

493
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people like, uh man, it's got sucked

494
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: to play for the Caves. I feel for Kevin Love, well,

495
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: do you Yeah?

496
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 5: He's owed two years and sixty million after this season,

497
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 5: so he's getting paid if he really wants out, because

498
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 5: I think they would have tried. They tried to trade

499
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 5: him this season, but no one really wanted that big contract.

500
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 5: We saw Blake Griffin take it by it. We saw

501
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 5: LaMarcus Oldridge give back a little bit of money as well.

502
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 5: Kevin Love this year, this contract I think was five

503
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 5: years and one hundred and twenty million or something around that.

504
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: So he can probably get his way out of Clay.

505
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 5: It's going to cost him maybe ten million bucks. But

506
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 5: if he really wants to at the end of this season,

507
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 5: he could because I don't think there'll be a huge

508
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 5: market for him still, you know, just because of that contract.

509
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: I mean, he's only thirty two years of age. You know,

510
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 5: his numbers are clearly on the decline right now. And

511
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, maybe if he goes to a

512
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 5: better situation, he could be like Blake can be somewhat rejuvenated.

513
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 5: But who's really going to give up a ton to

514
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 5: get him at this point? I don't think a lot

515
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 5: of people. And yeah, what he did last night, I mean,

516
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 5: if you look at that only that play, you think, man,

517
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 5: he's pouting, his unprofessional It looks bad, but he thought

518
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 5: he got fouled. It sort of was more upset at

519
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 5: the ref rather than his teammates or anything like that.

520
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: But still, but still he gave them a close points

521
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 5: exactly exactly. And you know, you can't behave like that

522
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 5: when you if that was a rookie, or if that

523
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 5: was Garland or Sexton, there'd be benched. And it's like,

524
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 5: this kid's got a bad attitude. And Bernie not Bernie.

525
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: Yeh JB.

526
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: Bickerstaff after the game last night said someone asked him,

527
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 5: you know what happened. He goes, oh, you have to

528
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 5: talk to Kevin about it. And then he said you're

529
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: going to talk to Kevin. He goes, yeah, we've already

530
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: talked about it, but you know, we'll talk about it again.

531
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 5: So I was like, okay, so he did talk to

532
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 5: him about it, but yeah, that's that's ultimately, That's what

533
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 5: it comes down to, is like, yes, you can maybe

534
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 5: give him a little bit of an excuse because of

535
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: the he sort of got clattered into there on the play,

536
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 5: But ultimately, you just don't expect that sort of behavior

537
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 5: from a guy who's earning that sort of money and

538
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 5: on that team. So yes, I understand if he's not

539
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 5: happy in Cleveland. The team's not very good, but you

540
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 5: can you can get your way way out of there,

541
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 5: certainly if the team can't trade you. So if it

542
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 5: costs you a couple of million bucks, then that's what

543
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 5: you'd have to do to be able to go to

544
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 5: a situation where you might find yourself enjoying basketball again,

545
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: which is more unprofessional.

546
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: He is playing and parting out there, giving away points

547
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: like that. Al Horford is just at home.

548
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean that's how would you rather have anssion?

549
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: I guess Okay, So then maybe is this on the

550
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: calves is what you're saying they should send Kevin Love

551
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 4: home and say, hey, man, come back next season. We'll

552
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 4: try and make another run at the playoffs, or we'll

553
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 4: find you a new home. I don't know. Meanwhile, we've

554
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 4: got the thunder who are have their best or their

555
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 4: most highly paid player sitting on the bench and they

556
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: are not even close in games. Here. They're getting blown

557
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 4: out every single night. But that's okay. Not for Kevin

558
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 4: Love to pout because he's upset about some foul calls.

559
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 4: Guys pout every single night. Let him chill, I don't know,

560
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 4: give him something else to do because it ain't working

561
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 4: in Cleveland. Get him out.

562
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys pout, But this is like next level pouting

563
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: where you are just I mean, he would have been

564
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: better off scoring on his own net. He would have

565
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: been so uh. I'm with you though, that that's interesting. Yeah,

566
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: the Cavs should have probably done that. If he's gonna

567
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: do this shit absolutely, like, all right, this is not

568
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: good for the identity of a of a team moving forward,

569
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: a young again impressionable team. Yeah, if you're doing more

570
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 3: harm than good at this point, if you're if you're

571
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: pulling stuff like this, so yeah, get him. I guess

572
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: send him home and like you said, look to move them.

573
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: It's a hilarious clip. I can't wait for it to

574
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: be rest of the week. It is very funny, just

575
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: slapping it into play there and then the Raptor's scoring

576
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: off it. I guess Love did not play the rest

577
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 3: to the game.

578
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 6: Lely.

579
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: He exited for the locker room before the final buzzer too.

580
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 3: I saw and he didn't speak to reporters, but yeah,

581
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: Bickerstaff said he apologized to his teammates for it, so

582
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: maybe he'd he should.

583
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he sort of points out, so I

584
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 5: don't know if maybe he had an injury like that.

585
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 5: Lady just says I'm done for this game. But he

586
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 5: should have at least spoken to the media, I think

587
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 5: after the game, because then he could have addressed it.

588
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 5: He knows he's going to get asked about it, and

589
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 5: he could have He could have owned it a little

590
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 5: bit better then and said, yeah, look that was that

591
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 5: was me in the moment, I did the wrong thing.

592
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: But avoiding the media again, I just don't think that's

593
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 5: the right situation. But the Calves, I mean they did

594
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 5: the same thing with Drummond this season where they make

595
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 5: a you stay home, you know. So it's a bad

596
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 5: look on the franchise if you're sending one guy home

597
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 5: and then the other guy, who your other veteran, is

598
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 5: out there behaving like that, So they need to move

599
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 5: on from him.

600
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 6: I think either way.

601
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 3: Lee, what do you think about this question, Dannielle Boyd?

602
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: Should the Calves find Kevin love for something.

603
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 6: Like that symbolically? Why not?

604
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 5: You know, just to say, listen, we don't expect that

605
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: from anybody who cares fine in fifty grand. It doesn't

606
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: make any difference to his paycheck at the end of

607
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 5: the day, like he's got enough money. But it sort

608
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: of could send a little message to the rest of

609
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 5: the locker room that we expect better from our leaders

610
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 5: and nobody is above sort of behaving like that.

611
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 6: You know.

612
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, didn't he get fined last year for punching

613
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 3: like the bench in Toronto? And he was pissed about

614
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: being fined by the organization. I remember there was like

615
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: a dispew with men.

616
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

617
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he definitely got fined by the Caps. So we'll

618
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: see here. What a moment. All right, let's keep it

619
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 3: going here. Wolves beat the Jazz for the third time

620
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 3: this season. What the heck's going on? One a five

621
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: to one or four lead. The Wolves just swept the

622
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 3: Utah Jazz, number one team in the league record wise,

623
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: and the Wolves are near the bottom. They are in

624
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: the tankathon race. What the hell happened here?

625
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 5: Well, it got crazy wild at the end there, and

626
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 5: Mike Conley looked like he'd given the Jazz the lead

627
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 5: when he hit a three, put him up with one

628
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: with six seconds remaining, and really, you just need to

629
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 5: play some good defense. We know the Jazz are known

630
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 5: for defense, and somehow Karl Anthony Towns D'Angelo Russell sort

631
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 5: of screened Gobert. Gobert for some reason scrambled out to

632
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 5: pick up Karl Anthony Towns, but Mike Conley had already

633
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 5: sort of switched out onto town so Gobert should have

634
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: just stayed with Russell. Instead, he left Russell wide opening

635
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 5: the paint without anybody there, and Rubio just fed it

636
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 5: to him and Russell scored the layup, so go Bear

637
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 5: kind of blew that situation.

638
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: But then the Jat still had a chance.

639
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: It was like four and a half seconds to go,

640
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 5: and they played great defense on the inbounds player Mike Conley,

641
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: Ricky Rubio kind of knocked it away, got the ball loose,

642
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 5: and the Wolves.

643
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 6: Went on to win.

644
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 5: So this was a very impressive closeout, I guess by

645
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 5: the Minnesota Timberwolves and D'Angelo Russell coming off the bench

646
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 5: again last night, he was looking like Brooklyn Net All

647
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 5: star D'Angelo Russell twenty seven points, seven of twelve from

648
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 5: downtown twelve assists really gave him that good pop off

649
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 5: the bench because they were down big early on. No

650
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell still here for the Utah Jazz, but impressive

651
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 5: way for the Wolves to actually be on the right

652
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 5: end of it of a close game here. And go

653
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 5: Bert kind of owned it after the game. But really

654
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 5: a complete and utter mess there from Gobert. He didn't

655
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: need to go out. He should have just stayed there

656
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 5: with Russell because Conley Conley sort of saw the situations like, well,

657
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 5: I guess I'll just pick up towns here. But Gobert

658
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 5: running around like a crazy man and DiAngelo the edge

659
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 5: of the Russell I mentioned the brook the Net thing.

660
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: He was up there celebrating the crowd as well last night,

661
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 5: bringing it along. So good to see him back having

662
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 5: fun again, and you know, The Wolves obviously ain't going

663
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 5: to make the playoffs this season, but their future is

664
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 5: looking a lid or brighter.

665
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: Up a couple of weeks ago.

666
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 5: You can see at least, you know things next season.

667
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: They shouldn't lose as many games as they've lost this season.

668
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 5: You are, I'm just fiddle.

669
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 3: I was like, what the hell is that? That just

670
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: flew by the screen?

671
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

672
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: Anything to add to this TK again the Wolves sweeping

673
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: the Jazz.

674
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: I love a game winner. That's a wide open layer

675
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 4: on an inbounds play. Incredible stuff. File it away for

676
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 4: the playoffs. Doesn't seem like it's gonna matter. But you know,

677
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 4: if we're noticing, Wow, that was crazy. How bad the

678
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: Jazz miscommunicated on that switch there. Obviously NBA teams are

679
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: gonna notice, and maybe somebody pulls a play deep out

680
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 4: of their pocket, just like Lee with his pencil sometime

681
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, a little switch move they're reminiscent of,

682
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: like a Lebron James layup that he had against the

683
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 4: Pacers once upon a time. Somebody's gonna remember that, and

684
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: a team's gonna pull it off against the Jazz, and

685
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: either they will have completely figured out how to do

686
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 4: their switching scheme or it's gonna be another wide open

687
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 4: layup exciting.

688
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: I actually got nervous for D'Angelo Russell on that play

689
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: when it was unfolding.

690
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, uh.

691
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: Oh, he's too open. Yeah, he's gonna miss that. He's

692
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 3: like yeah, And like when I think in a clutch

693
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: situation like that, when you're that open right by the rim,

694
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 3: you're probably like, okay, there must be go bear right

695
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: behind me or something like. He's like you panic maybe

696
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: and like botch the layup. But no, he was super

697
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: smooth it. He had a great game. The Wolves are

698
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: eleven and fifteen, I believe since the All Star break,

699
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: So this is better. Now, just do it at the

700
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: start of the season next year with obviously, you know,

701
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: a healthy or at least in a eight mind frame,

702
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell hopefully playing like a Brooklyn

703
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 3: D'Angelo there. I'd like to see it at least a

704
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: chance there with finch finchy in a preseason and stuff

705
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: like that, and practice and what he wants to implement

706
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: in a normal year. You know, Look, the Wolves should

707
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: be decent. I don't think they're championship contenders next year,

708
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: but they should be decent. They should be a player

709
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: race because everybody is.

710
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: The thing with d'angeloid Russell too, is like he's probably

711
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: going to be the starter. He's been coming off the bench,

712
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 5: but that is a pretty good role for him. He

713
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: can be that guy coming off the bench, scoring and shooting.

714
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: He maybe isn't a starting point guard in the league,

715
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 5: Like maybe this is just a better role. Whether or

716
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 5: not they decide to keep Rubio next season, I'm not sure,

717
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 5: but I really like him coming off the bench. But

718
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 5: you know, players just tend to not like to say

719
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 5: that's your role. You know, he's doing it this season,

720
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 5: I think because he missed so much time and it's working.

721
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 6: For him right now. But that could be a little.

722
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: Something there for the Wolves to work on. Like if

723
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 5: you can have a guy who you know is a

724
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 5: bucket off the bench, it helps lee.

725
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 3: Did Rudy Gobert lose Defensive Player of the Year last

726
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: name with some people saying.

727
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: That, ah no, he owned it. You know, he screwed up,

728
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 5: no question, he screwed up. And that is just one

729
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,239
Speaker 5: of those brain farts. It's just like you would just

730
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 5: think most teams would be like be prepared to switch

731
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 5: on that, and Conley was ready for it and has

732
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: like live with towns. You know, maybe he's going to drive,

733
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 5: but he's probably going to shoot a three point or

734
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 5: a deep shot at that point because he doesn't want

735
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 5: to come in if Gobert drops back.

736
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 6: But he got it wrong.

737
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 5: So but again, the Jazz still had a chance, and

738
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 5: their execution on the next inbounds players just wasn't good enough.

739
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 6: So well done to the Wolves.

740
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: Final game will touch on here on today's Daily Show.

741
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: Michael Porter junior scored thirty one points. Hey, is every

742
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: Porter in the league a junior Trey? It's ottol Porter junior,

743
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: Kevin Porter junior and Michael Porter junior. Am I missing anybody?

744
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: That's crazy? What's going on with those Porters and their

745
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: junior MPG scored thirty one points and the Nuggets knocked

746
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: off the Grizzlies one, twenty to ninety six. Nuggets have

747
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 3: won six of the last seven. They've improved to forty

748
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: and twenty one. Just a little love for MPJ, who

749
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: is like bawling over the last two months. This isn't

750
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: a two week stretch anymore. This is like over the

751
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: last two months, he's averaging twenty two points per game,

752
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 3: eight and a half board, shooting fifty eight percent from

753
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 3: the floor, you know, forty seven percent from three on

754
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 3: a ton of like makes like three per game, and

755
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: he was awesome twelve to nineteen in this one last night.

756
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: Mike Malone, Michael Malone, whatever you want to call him.

757
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: Coach Malone after the game said, like he loves when

758
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: Michael he did call Porter Michael, which I found very weird, Like, yeah, Porter,

759
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 3: that he's aggressive, you know, like he's got a beautiful

760
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: jump shot lead it's sort of unstoppable because we talked

761
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: about like he's like Durant like in terms of his shot,

762
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: where he shoots it and how tall he is. But

763
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: like when he's aggressive is when he is really sort

764
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: of a next level player, not settling for that jump

765
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 3: shot and one hundred percent true. Denver pulled away in

766
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. Grizzlies long long road trip, four and three,

767
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: extremely respectable. A couple of those even tough losses could

768
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 3: have been an even better record, but good win by

769
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: Denver here. I don't know, man, Like, what do we

770
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: do with this Nuggets team? Are they still like, you know,

771
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 3: a secret borderline. Yeah, Finals contender. I mean, or after

772
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: the Jamal Murray injury, we thought, okay, well great year,

773
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 3: awesome pick up with Gordon Maybe next year. I don't know.

774
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: Now they're like Porter Junior stepped right into it. And

775
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: this was without Barton, so Morris to last night. Yeah,

776
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: there's a good win there. There's still a tough out.

777
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: When you got I guess the MVP on your team,

778
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: you should be.

779
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean Porter was considered to be potentially

780
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 5: the number one picking the drop before the injury, wasn't he.

781
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 5: I believe that that's why he dropped. He had that

782
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 5: back injury. Yeah, so you're starting to see why because

783
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 5: he scores just so easily. You know, he can get

784
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 5: to his spot. He's just used to that scoring mentalities,

785
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 5: like he knows he can get he shot off at

786
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 5: any point.

787
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 6: It's a pretty good looking shot.

788
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 5: And as he grows and as he matures in his game,

789
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 5: I could just see him going inside to the pain

790
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 5: as well. I'm drawing a ton of fouls because he's

791
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 5: just he's just so difficult to defend. Yeah, it feels

792
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 5: like they can't do it without Jamal Murray. It's like

793
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: too big a player to be missing.

794
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, Lakers in the first round.

795
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah well yeah, yeah, yeah, that would be tough on

796
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 5: I mean, right now, they would have home court advantage,

797
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 5: but it probably still wouldn't be enough if Lebron's back.

798
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 5: We saw him out running yesterday, so looks like Lebron's

799
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 5: pretty close to returning too.

800
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 4: So I thought he was just joggingly. I thought that

801
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 4: was the problem. He jogging there, not a full sprint.

802
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: You're going to intimidate opponents with a jug.

803
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: Most improved Porter Junior got to be Mike Yes, I

804
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 3: think so. I think so. He's got Kevin and Otto

805
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: beat there in that one, So give him that award.

806
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 4: It will be interesting to see him as the unquestioned

807
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: number two in a playoff series though, because we've seen

808
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray in Go Create Something, You got to get

809
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: a bucket. We absolutely need this situation, and the guy

810
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: showed up massively in the playoffs last year. MPJ had

811
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: a great Bubble He was All Bubble team. That was

812
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 4: an award. Not as efficient and not as a productive

813
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: come playoff time. But man, there's a reason they call

814
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 4: him Michael Porter Butter and Junior because this guy is

815
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 4: smooth skeets fifty seven percent from the field forty seven

816
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 4: percent from three in twenty five games.

817
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: Since the All Star Break.

818
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 4: He's legitimately a second star for the Nuggets right now.

819
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 4: The question will be is with the additional focus on

820
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, will he be able to do what

821
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray did, because Jamal Murray wasn't doing it from

822
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 4: the very beginning when he first got to the playoffs

823
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 4: as well. I don't know, though, man Jokic sets him

824
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 4: up with some nice tasty dishes. Aaron Gordon's obviously a

825
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: solid passer and he could shoot over basically anybody. I

826
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: think he's going to be an All Star at the

827
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 4: very least next season, and it's going to be exciting

828
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: to see what he does come playoff time.

829
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: All right, So those are the games from last night.

830
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 3: If we didn't get to one you wanted us to

831
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: talk about, go check out what you need to know

832
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 3: from Tess. He addressed all eleven games in the association.

833
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 3: Let's get to is this news. Hey, Look, these aren't

834
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 3: the juiciest headlines here on a Tuesday, but I'm gonna

835
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 3: throw him at the guys and they're gonna tell me

836
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 3: whether it was even newsworthy, whether I was an idiot

837
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: to even include it in the show, or maybe there's

838
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 3: something to it. First once from the Athletic. Oh a

839
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 3: great website. Go to the Athletic dot com slash no dumbs,

840
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 3: get yourself a subscription. Rockets John Wall out for the

841
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 3: season with hamstring injury. TK Is this news? Yeah, yeah,

842
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: this is news.

843
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 4: I think this is a this is a minor news.

844
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 4: We saw some nice flashes this season from John Wall,

845
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: all things considered. Great to just see him back on

846
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 4: the court, but this will be the fourth straight incomplete

847
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 4: season for John Wall. Still's got a couple of years

848
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 4: left on his deal after this season. I don't think

849
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 4: he did much to increase his trade value this year,

850
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 4: which is surely what the Rockets were going for when

851
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 4: they acquired him from Russell Westbrook. Kind of weird how

852
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: that trade went down. Seemed like the Wizards won it

853
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 4: at first, then right when the season started, seemed like

854
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: the Rockets won it. Turns out the Wizards won it,

855
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 4: but really it's tanks for the memories. John. Pretty sure

856
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 4: the Rockets are going to keep their pick if their

857
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 4: bottom four this year. Their season was obviously derailed by

858
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 4: James Harden at the beginning, followed by Christian Wood getting

859
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 4: hurt basically right away. They went on a massive losing streak.

860
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 4: They got the worst record in the league right now,

861
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: and they're trying to keep it that way. They got

862
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 4: five fewer wins than the Thunder do at fifth, which

863
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 4: means that Houston is likely still gonna finish with the

864
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 4: worst record in the league, which means they're guaranteed a

865
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 4: top four pick, which means they're going to keep that pick,

866
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 4: which is huge because you can't lose a top five

867
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 4: pick in this draft. Plus they're keeping it from the

868
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 4: Thunder who are on the same rebuilding path time blind

869
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 4: that they are so honestly resting John Wall here and

870
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 4: trying to make sure he's as healthy as possible to

871
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 4: up that trade value next season. It's a win win

872
00:38:58,640 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 4: for the Rockets by.

873
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: Lise, Yeah, what do you think Lee? Is Trey Raight like?

874
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: Are the Rockets like looking at the Orlando Magic having

875
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: last sixth straight at OKAC, having last fourteenth straight and

876
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: really leaning into the tank? Did the Rockets go, Okay, well,

877
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 3: we're leading the old tankathon here, but let's really make

878
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: sure we don't win any games here, Like, could we

879
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: see this with Eric Gordon, Kelly Olynyk, Like just play

880
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: all the young guys keep losing games and there's no

881
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 3: worry about John Wile playing for the rest of you

882
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 3: or any of these guys.

883
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 5: Maybe yeah, I mean, I guess these days though, it

884
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 5: just doesn't give you significantly a higher chance of getting

885
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 5: that number one pick. You're still in the in the

886
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 5: mix for it, but in years gone by you were

887
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 5: obviously given a much higher chance. So the NBA has

888
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 5: tried to discourage things like this because overall, I think

889
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 5: just to see John Wore back out on the court

890
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 5: was a success for him. I think overall I thought

891
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 5: he played well enough. He moved pretty well for a

892
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 5: guy who's coming off basically two years of injuries. But

893
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 5: now it's kind of like, what do the Rockets do

894
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 5: going for? Because I think they clearly want to start again.

895
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 5: So is there any significant value out there to be

896
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 5: had in John wall He's only thirty, but he's an

897
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 5: old thirty and he has got a big old contract

898
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 5: on him, So I don't really think there's got a

899
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: you know, they're going to be able to get significant

900
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 5: assets in return, but I think it was that was

901
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 5: part of it. They wanted to play him. Hey, look

902
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 5: he can still play it now. It's almost like, let's

903
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 5: just maybe put him in cotton ball just in case

904
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 5: he injures himself again and it does improve our lottery

905
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 5: odds somewhat. But yeah, I mean the Rockets have been

906
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 5: it's been just a disaster for them this season overall.

907
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 6: I mean from the start, we.

908
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: Should give some really high coach of the year.

909
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 6: He should get yeah, yeah, for.

910
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: Running up with the shit he's had to put up

911
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: with in hereson, like just give it. Yeah, despite having

912
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 3: the worst record in the league. I would like that,

913
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 3: all right. Our next one here headline, Yespa La Clippers

914
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 3: signed to Marcus Cousins for a remainder of the season.

915
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: Is this news. I'll get a started here. Minor, minor news.

916
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 3: I think Cousins had a decent game last night in

917
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 3: a loss to New Orleans. I mean, the Pelicans crushed

918
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 3: the Clippers. There was no Kawhi, but they led by

919
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 3: double digits for the entire second half. They're up by

920
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 3: twenty five, but Cousins had sixteen points, eleven boards, two

921
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: blocks twenty five minutes. That's the most minutes he's gotten here.

922
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 3: Prior to like signing, for the rest of the season,

923
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 3: he was on a couple ten days. He was usually

924
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: playing about fourteen to fifteen minutes a game.

925
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 2: He was fine.

926
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: Trade you know, he's like, isn't okay? Backup big? I guess,

927
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 3: And you can use him. You could see him being

928
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 3: used in the right sort of matchups in a potential

929
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 3: playoff series where he could he could give you ten

930
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: to fifteen minutes. I think so, yeah, you know, good

931
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: for him. I'm happy that he's going to be on

932
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: a team that is, of course trying to win a

933
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: championship and maybe he can contribute in some matchups.

934
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

935
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I have the same feeling with DeMarcus Cousins on

936
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 4: the Clippers as I did with LaMarcus Aldridge signing with Brooklyn.

937
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 4: Neither of these teams really need anything. They both have

938
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 4: been near the top of the league for the entire season,

939
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 4: but like Aldridge gave Brooklyn a low post threat that

940
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 4: they didn't really have. That's the exact same thing with

941
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 4: the Marcus Cousins. He's a skilled big body, which might

942
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 4: come in handy at some point punishing switches. He doesn't

943
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 4: need to be an All NBA player. He needs to

944
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 4: be good for like six minutes at a time in

945
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 4: the playoff a couple of different times, right when when

946
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 4: you're not when you're gonna need something out out of

947
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 4: your center scoring wise, that maybe Zubac can't give you.

948
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's a low risk sort of move here

949
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 4: for the Clippers, but perhaps it pans out.

950
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 3: Lee anything to add Cousins sign him for the rest

951
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 3: of the years Clippers.

952
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 5: There, No, I mean he's yeah, you can put him

953
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 5: out on the floor. He's got six fares, he can

954
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 5: hit a three, he can pass the ball only for

955
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 5: four or five minutes of a game, just to fill

956
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 5: in for some gaps. I think, why not a few

957
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 5: the Clippers. You know that they're obviously trying to win

958
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 5: the championship this year. So a veteran who you know,

959
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 5: he's he's a reliable guy in short stints. You're not

960
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 5: expecting him to play huge, significant minutes, so it doesn't

961
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 5: hurt to have him on the bench.

962
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's talked.

963
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 2: Up a lot.

964
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 3: Cousins has a the Clippers organization too, and I think

965
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: in specifically like sort of coach lou he said a

966
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: belt coach Lo He's done a great job of like

967
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 3: incorporating him and his talents, making him feel a part

968
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 3: of this. So so good on lou there and the

969
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 3: Clippers there. No one's angry with this. I mean, we're

970
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 3: Boogie fans. He's on the roster, and I think maybe

971
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 3: he gets like one little moment to shine in a

972
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 3: playoff game here in a first, second, third round who

973
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 3: knows where it's like WHOA Cousins has like that classic

974
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 3: like throwback game and he's puts up a twenty and

975
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 3: ten because somebody's in foul trouble or there's an injury

976
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 3: or something like that. I see that happening here for him,

977
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 3: So I'm excited about that. Our final one Lee NBA

978
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 3: dot Com, great website, Luka, Doncic, Bradley Beal named NBA

979
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 3: Players of the Week. Is this news?

980
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 5: Well, it's the player for the weak team curse, you

981
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 5: can call it. Because the Wizard's lost for the first

982
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 5: time in nine games to the San Antonio's and then

983
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 5: the MAVs lose to the dearn foxless Sacramento Kings last night.

984
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 5: So nobody wants to win Player of the Week award.

985
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 6: Just not.

986
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: You're just going to get a loss in your next game.

987
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, great to have two of my favorites when

988
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 5: it was awesome.

989
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 6: H what a week? Yeah? Yeah, what a week? Man,

990
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 6: what a huge week.

991
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: Hey, hey, I got a trivia question for you. I

992
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 3: love doing this with these. How many Player of the

993
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 3: Weeks in three seasons has Luka doncic one?

994
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 6: Mm?

995
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: Tell your guess?

996
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 2: Oh say uh? Nine?

997
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 3: Okay, Trey, what do you think?

998
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 6: Twelve?

999
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 3: My god, you guys are way too high. Shocking, really high. Yeah,

1000
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 3: this is only his fourth one in three years. That crazy, Yeah,

1001
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 3: a little surprising, right.

1002
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: I'm doing a deep dive skeets. I'm going week by

1003
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 4: week for the past three seasons to see how this

1004
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 4: stacks up. Okay, well Man needs some more awards in

1005
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 4: his closet. He needs some more Players of the Week.

1006
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm a little confused. I thought that

1007
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 4: Westbrook would be the choice for the Wizards, but then

1008
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 4: I started looking at stats and realized I was looking

1009
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 4: up player of the Week stats, And you know, it's fine.

1010
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 4: Beal's fine. Beel is completely fine.

1011
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 3: And I wanted to check Luca with only only having

1012
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 3: four of these through three seasons, right, how many had

1013
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: Lebron had at this point. You want to tell you,

1014
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: guest Lee end of his third season, Lebron James, how

1015
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 3: many Players of the Week.

1016
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 6: Thirteen tray twenty nine.

1017
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 3: Okay, you guys have got a little too high. Lebron

1018
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 3: had eight at the end of his third season, and

1019
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 3: he went on a little run at the end of

1020
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 3: that third year. He won three in a row near

1021
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 3: the end of that third season there, so I guess

1022
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 3: maybe Luca could sort of like get close to catching

1023
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: him here. Oh, I just thought it was interesting, Luca.

1024
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 3: I was shocked only at four, I will admit I

1025
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 3: was like, that's it.

1026
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's low.

1027
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 3: It's low. But then again, you always gotta remember the

1028
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: player of the week is you gotta have a good

1029
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 3: team record that week. To be you gotta basically have

1030
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 3: only lost one game, max, or it really helps your

1031
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 3: case if you're undefeated like the Wizards were in the

1032
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: mass were in the last week. So yeah, there you go,

1033
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 3: little player of the week's stats for you. I guess

1034
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 3: it was news JD my Man, let's get tweet of

1035
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: the night.

1036
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 4: Tweet of the night.

1037
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 7: Wow, Well I never thought I'd say this in all

1038
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 7: my years, but hey, let's bring it back to wrestling,

1039
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 7: all right, So you know, I mean Tasmelis always comes

1040
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 7: through for me in the clutch. He sent me this

1041
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 7: after what you need to know every morning or when

1042
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 7: it's my when it's my turn to do tweeted the night.

1043
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 7: I'll go, hey, man, if you see a tweet, just

1044
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 7: send it my way, because I got nothing. So he

1045
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 7: sent me this thread from from Alan Underscore a cheap

1046
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 7: shot and it's a thread of crazy Vince McMahon stories.

1047
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 7: Now this is kind of hilarious task because this he

1048
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 7: sent it to me. I'm like, oh, this is great.

1049
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 7: This there's some real doozies in here. But I realized

1050
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 7: that this is from May of twenty nineteen, so this

1051
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 7: tweet is over two years old. This might be the

1052
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 7: most stale tweet you've ever had on tweet of the night,

1053
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 7: But you tell you why I saw it.

1054
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: Spencer Hall retweeted it this morning. Yeah, every day should

1055
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 3: be's at it. Yeah, he said, like, we got to

1056
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 3: read this again. It's so good.

1057
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: But it is good.

1058
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 3: I'm live writing. Yeah, so did I.

1059
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 7: It's it's great and you know there's so many good

1060
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 7: stories in there. He stole a guy's shoes once he

1061
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 7: hates yes men, which is ironic for a guy surrounded

1062
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 7: by yes men. He wantsh his pants trying to squeeze

1063
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 7: out a revenge fart.

1064
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 3: That's the best one.

1065
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

1066
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 7: Well, it is the best one. But this is a

1067
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 7: weird one. And this is the one that really caught

1068
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 7: my attention. Vince hates sneezing. When someone sneezes, he yells

1069
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 7: at him and tells him to control themselves. On the

1070
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 7: rare occasion Vince sneezes, he angrily mutters to himself and

1071
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 7: loses focus for a few minutes. I mean, of all

1072
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 7: the human frailties, sneezing is the least offensive to me.

1073
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 7: So let me ask you, guys, what bodily function do

1074
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 7: you find the most annoying? We're the most inoffensive. I mean,

1075
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 7: anybody got anything?

1076
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 5: I mean, well, I used to work with this guy

1077
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 5: who every time he would bite or chew his you

1078
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 5: know when you can crack your knuckles, his jaw would crack,

1079
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 5: every bite, every shoe, everye like like.

1080
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 4: Smooth.

1081
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 5: When we when we first started working together. You know,

1082
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 5: he'd sit down and he's lunch and I hear it

1083
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 5: and I'm just like, what the hell is that noise?

1084
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 5: You know, and I didn't realize what it was. And

1085
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 5: then I looked up and I saw him, like take

1086
00:48:53,760 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 5: a he had a big mouth. Basically he was yeah,

1087
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,479
Speaker 5: And at the start you're kind of like, Okay, that's weird,

1088
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 5: you know, And at the end of like, I want

1089
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 5: to fight this guy serious, I cannot stand because it's it.

1090
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 5: Then it sort of sticks in your brain, like now

1091
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 5: I hear every single time he would chew, he would

1092
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 5: he would bite or chew, So uh yeah, I think

1093
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 5: that that's the one for me. I still remember still

1094
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 5: like I'm still I'm getting angry now at him.

1095
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, I see, wow, I think.

1096
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 4: I'm the same actually disliking like a bad chewer. Had

1097
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 4: a buddy in college that like, by the end of

1098
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 4: our first semester freshman year, I was like, I cannot

1099
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 4: watch this guy eat chicken wings for the next three

1100
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 4: and a half years. So I would make it a

1101
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 4: point to sit next to him rather than across from him,

1102
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 4: so I didn't have to see it face to face, because.

1103
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 3: Well, he's just like a sloppy growth, like life sound okay,

1104
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 3: so okay, So imagine the chicken wings coming a little basket.

1105
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, pulls it out, yeah, naws on him. Just

1106
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 4: it's just a disgusting knock. It was not my favorite

1107
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 4: thing to watch. And then would leave the chicken bones

1108
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 4: rather than putting the chicken bones back into the container,

1109
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 4: would leave the chicken bones on the table.

1110
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 3: Oh god, I don't like.

1111
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 4: Watching you eat it to begin with, and then you're

1112
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 4: just leaving your bones here. No, thank you.

1113
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, chicken wings is it's it sets people off working

1114
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 7: in a bar. I've noticed that just people have really weird.

1115
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 7: It's the one food that everybody has their way. I

1116
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 7: know that I am the worst. I skeletonize the thing,

1117
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 7: like I. I will filate those flats.

1118
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 3: Like a lot left out there.

1119
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, everything everything has got to go. I think

1120
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 7: it's my immigrant mother.

1121
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 3: JD. You're not even that bad. There are people next

1122
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 3: level like can our buddy, can you like you'll basically

1123
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 3: eat the bone? Yeah yeah, I mean so you're cleaning

1124
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: it dry. But he's like, all right, I'll do that,

1125
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 3: and then I'm going to just start eating it.

1126
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 4: Yeah I will.

1127
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 7: I will crunch on the carlage, which drives Rachel insane.

1128
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 3: But I must have it all.

1129
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 7: I must ingest it all and then use the bones

1130
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 7: for to fashion some sort of tool or necklace out

1131
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 7: of it.

1132
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 3: Community would you prefer? Do you prefer a stinky fart

1133
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: over a stinky burp? Because I think I do. I

1134
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: would rather be in the acquaintance of someone that drops

1135
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 3: a stinky farty than a burp.

1136
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 4: Burp.

1137
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 7: Pretty gross, it is because you're smelling the contents of

1138
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 7: their stomach, you know. And and it actually will sometimes

1139
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 7: still smell like food, right like right, like a.

1140
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 4: Burp smells hotter to me, like way warmer, maybe more humid.

1141
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's just that the proximity to it,

1142
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 4: but I'm with you on burns worse than farts. I don't.

1143
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 4: I don't what you got.

1144
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a good, all right task coming through

1145
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 3: with the old Vincemakrand thread.

1146
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 4: I mean that threat is so good that there are

1147
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 4: stories that repeat in it towards the end of it,

1148
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 4: and I read them every time, Like I read the

1149
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 4: repeating stories at the end, I was like, this is

1150
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 4: still good. I read it five minutes ago.

1151
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: It's great.

1152
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 6: Not like that Kawhi Leonard thread. Though.

1153
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 5: Is it that someone just completely mate up how he

1154
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 5: would eat these apples with a knife and form.

1155
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 3: I think this is actually real Vince mcman stories because

1156
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 3: it's like a lot of it's like from people's books

1157
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 3: or them on podcasts, like sharing these uh Vince stories,

1158
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 3: Like he's he's a crazy person, obviously, yeah he has.

1159
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 5: Why why does he have to be to do what

1160
00:52:54,440 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 5: he's done for so long? I don't mean like you

1161
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 5: have to he's you know the line between genius and insanity.

1162
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 5: He's very, very fine, and I think Vince it slips

1163
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 5: a little more to the insanity side. But I saw

1164
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 5: him interviewed somewhere one time and he was like out

1165
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 5: of character and he was like a businessman, normal guy,

1166
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 5: and he's yeah. He was like, yeah, I realized, you

1167
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 5: know what I'm doing. I have to be the character

1168
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 5: and I have to show everyone who I am on

1169
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 5: the camera. But behind the scenes, he's a different person.

1170
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 5: So maybe Renee can tell us more about it.

1171
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 3: I've heard some Renee stories about working at Yeah w W.

1172
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 3: They're like this thread some of them. There's some hilarious stories,

1173
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 3: that's for sure. Oh man, all right, let's let's get

1174
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 3: to pick up results from last night. Brought to you

1175
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 3: by Bett MGM it was Son's nixt. I needed the

1176
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 3: Sons to come through. I needed my boy Devin Booker

1177
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 3: to go get me a win an MSG and he

1178
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 3: did exactly that. Chris Paul of course helped out too.

1179
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 3: But I'm still alive, baby, because I had the son.

1180
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 3: Soora Tass, he's fine. Tass is in the clear for

1181
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 3: this month. He's eleven and seven. Lee had the Knicks

1182
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 3: falls to ten and eight. Trey had the Knicks, that's

1183
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 3: the big one, false to nine and nine, and I

1184
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 3: had the Sons. Like I said, so I'm seven eleven,

1185
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: give me the slururpee. Give this slurpee to your buddy

1186
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: with that weird job. So I'm still in it because

1187
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 3: we obviously have the rest of this week. So I'm

1188
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 3: two games back at Trey, three games back at Lee,

1189
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 3: so I could even catch the hear Tonight's game, guys,

1190
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 3: task picked it. Blazers Pacers Portland favored by five and

1191
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 3: a half on the road in Indiana despite losing. What

1192
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 3: are they have five in a row?

1193
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 6: Right?

1194
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 3: I know there are a lot of close losses, but

1195
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 3: Blazers are reeling here, could really use a victory. But

1196
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 3: can they win by six or more? Let's start with you, Leely,

1197
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 3: let's go to you.

1198
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 5: Yeah. You just feel like at some point the Blazer's

1199
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 5: gonna shake it off and get a win the Paces

1200
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 5: without Turner and Sabonas. But I think five and a

1201
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 5: half is just enough. I think the PACs can cover.

1202
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 5: It's all taking me yet home.

1203
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, let's go to test here Jay, Let's find

1204
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 3: out who he is. This line seems huge.

1205
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 4: How does Portland win by six or more? There's probably

1206
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 4: a reason the line is this big.

1207
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:09,919
Speaker 6: I don't care.

1208
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Pacers.

1209
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 6: They cover five and a half.

1210
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 3: Ah, that's that said like a man who's in the

1211
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 3: in the clear. Like I said, it doesn't really matter. Okay,

1212
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 3: two of you guys taking the Pacers, Tray, how about it?

1213
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 4: This is real sick of uff here, Skeets. I'm like

1214
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 4: deep in the injury report, trying to see if go

1215
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 4: go Batase is gonna be able to go to You're

1216
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,720
Speaker 4: gonna be able to go go? I guess we will see.

1217
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, the Pacers have actually got three straight

1218
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 4: wins going here. Meanwhile, the Blazers need a victory. Oh

1219
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 4: that's too big of a line. Five and a half points. Okay,

1220
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 4: give me Portland, gimmy Portland, and I will also say

1221
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 4: for the record, a big beef will be beeped by

1222
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 4: the Blazers.

1223
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 3: Wow wow, okay for extra points there. Now this is difficult.

1224
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 4: Okay, hold up, skates, I'm hearing that go go Pataza

1225
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 4: is out.

1226
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, wow wow, that's the line moved.

1227
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I was gonna take the Blazers and I'm

1228
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 3: still gonna take the Blazers. Yes, yes, yes, yes, because

1229
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 3: especially at Lee on the Pacers. This is good.

1230
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:15,160
