12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: and here we are. Well. That day of action was

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot more enjoyable than Friday's turd platter. We had

14
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: some unbelievably drunk games today from the bubble and even

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: this one that we were waiting on to finish. Uh

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: to fire up the live stream here the Mavericks holding

17
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: off the Bucks in overtime, of course, Uh, but they

18
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: pulled it out one thirty six to one two. We'll

19
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: get to Luca a little bit later with a whoo boy,

20
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: but he put up some stupid numbers. You're shaking your headly,

21
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: what's wrong?

22
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: Can we even these out a little bit so we

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: can have a couple of these games on Friday and

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: then a couple today. I mean, you know what, I

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: went out this afternoon. I thought, I think I can

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: probably just escape with getting a cup away from a

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: couple of games. And then you look at your phone

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: You're like, oh my god, I have to go back

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 2: and watch all these games because it's like just incredible,

30
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 2: incredible stuff, like just the wild finishes this afternoon it

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: was I mean, it's great, but it's like, come.

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: On, man, what was yesterday? Then? All about what's going on?

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: They're not wrong? Yeah, the first the first two games

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: of the day here Saturday were especially insane. So we're

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: actually gonna play a little whatch you got?

36
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: What's it good?

37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: The first one we saw Rodney McGruder hit a three

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: pointer with twenty six seconds left. The Clippers beat the

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Blazers one twenty two to one seventeen. Portland led for

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: a good chunk of this game, but they couldn't score late.

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: They were outscored twelve to two in the final ninety

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: six seconds Lillard missed the paraphree throws with eighteen seconds

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: ago that were particularly painful, and we'll talk about those

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: in more detail later. The next game just as crazy,

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: though ten minutes longer. Jamal Murray scored twenty three points

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 1: in her his first game of the NBA restart, including

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: some tying and go ahead buckets. He played great. Nuggets

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: beat the Jazz one thirty four to one thirty two

49
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: in two overtimes despite trying to give the way the

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: game away multiple times. And both of these games were drunk.

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: As I said, so what was the bigger WTF game?

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Was it the Clippers, Blazers or the Jazz Nuggets? What

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: you got tests.

54
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: Might have just changed my opinion because I'm watching ESPN

55
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: and the font at the bottom is Yokich hit that

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: tough fade away. Was Jokich hits tough fade away versus Jazz?

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: That almost swayed me? That headline they basically they just

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: they outlined it as Jokic hits tough fade away. That

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: almost sold me. But no, I'm not going with that

60
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: tough fight away. I'm going with the Clippers because they

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: just tried to give away this game. They tried to

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: give it to the Blazers. They did not care. They

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: closed the game with a lineup of Terrence Man big Who,

64
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: Roddy McGruder, Landry Shammitt, Patrick Patterson, and Jamichael Green, a

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: couple guys that might be in the playoff rotation. But

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: it wouldn't be surprising if none of those guys were

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: in the playoff rotation and they were the ones who

68
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: couldn't score. You said, the Blazers couldn't score either of

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: the Clippers for three minutes, under five minutes, about buck

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: forty left. They didn't score their down forty with a

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: buck forty left, and because the Blazers couldn't score, Yeah,

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: Rodney mcgre r steps up, they go on a little run.

73
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: Twenty seven percent three point shooter gives him the go

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: ahead shot, and then killer. I'm sure Leellis was back

75
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 4: on his TV watching this down one eighteen seconds left.

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 4: Lillard in eighty nine percent career free throw shooter. He's

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: got two free throws. Miss is the first. All right,

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: you can tie this thing. Miss is the second. John Hollinger,

79
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: a colleague at the Athletic, a lover of numbers, He said,

80
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: the odds of an eighty nine percent career free throw

81
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: shooter missing twice are one point two three percent, so

82
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: that one percent chance came through. And yeah, the Clippers won.

83
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 4: And we'll get into the reaction on the bench of

84
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: Patrick Beverly and Paul George and Lou Williams having some fun.

85
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: But Doc Rivers was really just pulling a Greg Popovich

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: move here of playing his second and third string guys

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 4: and hoping that they can be good cheerleaders in the

88
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: postseason because they played some game some minutes here in

89
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 4: a you know, game down the stretch, just just to

90
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 4: have them around just in case, and they have to

91
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 4: break glass in case of emergency here in case somebody

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: goes and gets some more wings at Magic City. So

93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: that's all this was. And they wanted to give this

94
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 4: thing away. And yeah, it's a killer for the Blazers

95
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: in the moment. They still have a shot at making

96
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 4: this thing. But to see Dame, such a clutch guy

97
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: missed two free throws, you know, the Jazz Nuggets was nuts.

98
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: But I don't know this one incident of seeing Damian

99
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: Lillard come up way short and I know he's gassed

100
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: and he's got to play tomorrow, but that was more

101
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 4: surprising to.

102
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: Me, definitely.

103
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: The guy has a nickname after being clutch in clutch time,

104
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 5: and he didn't come up clutch when it really mattered.

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 5: You know, you saw the Blazers, I think had a

106
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 5: one point lead going into the fourth quarter, and eventually

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: you saw Paul George was gonna be going to the sideline.

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: It looked all good.

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 5: It looked like this is gonna be a game that

110
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 5: the Blazers are gonna be able to win because they're

111
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 5: playing as hard as they can to get it because

112
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 5: it means a lot more to Portland than.

113
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Does to La.

114
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 5: But like you're saying, Tassy a great nickname for Terrence Man,

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 5: the big who. He comes in and for whatever reason,

116
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 5: that ignites Rodney macgruder to hit that huge clutch shot.

117
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 5: And then Damian Lillard, you think he's money at the line.

118
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 5: The guy's ready to tap on his wrist, but uh,

119
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: just a couple of short he's there. And while we

120
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: don't ever expect Dame to melt down, it's a kind

121
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 5: of the second time that it's happened in the bubble.

122
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 5: He had that weird play against the Celtics where they

123
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: were down three and he dished it underneath for a

124
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 5: quick basket. They didn't have time left. So the guy

125
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 5: comes up to clutch time and time again. But when

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 5: you ask for it every you have a single time,

127
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 5: and he's got to come through every single time, there

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 5: are bound to be a couple of failures.

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lee, what do you think He's played forty five minutes,

130
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: forty four minutes, forty minutes, forty one minutes, and then

131
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 2: thirty nine today. Not to make any excuses, but those

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: two free throws were both well.

133
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Sure they were way off, they were close.

134
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: So with in front of the room, that to me

135
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: tells you that he's a little bit heavy in the

136
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: legs right there because he's had such a heavy workload.

137
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: He went ten for twenty three today, only two for

138
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: ten from downtown, so again he didn't shoot the ball

139
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: all that well. Now, the Clippers, the conspiracy theorists were

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: out early when Kawhi was rested, and again as as

141
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned that closing line up, the Clippers were basically saying,

142
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: it's your game if you wanted, Blazers, and the Blazers

143
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: not being able to close this one out when they

144
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: led late is a bad, bad loss of them.

145
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: They're not out of it yet. There's still there's still

146
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: a chance.

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: But clearly this was one that if they do miss out,

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: this is the one that's gonna they're going to look

149
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: back and think, how do we blow this one? Because

150
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: it was basically handed to us against the good team,

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: and yeah, they've only got themselves to blame. And Lilid

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: you know, like you think you look at a game

153
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: like this thing. Man, he didn't deliver and he made

154
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: that mistake against the Celtics too, But this guy is clutch.

155
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: He's got a proven track record of doing it. But

156
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: not everyone just is one hundred percent in clutch time,

157
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: and they that cost him. That cost him then and

158
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 2: then the foul there once he missed those free throws,

159
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: well that cost us in the pick and pay for

160
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: sure there, But we'll.

161
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: Talk about that at the end. I should have come.

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: J in the field goal percentage savings club, man, Like

163
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: what are you doing out there?

164
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: But it's crazy.

165
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: Like just you know, when you when you're in a

166
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: close game like that, all you want is just to cover.

167
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: If you're on that side of it, when you see

168
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: that those fouls, you just want to kill the guy.

169
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: But you know, it's all, it's so good fun.

170
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm just more just sort of bummed out for the

171
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: Blazers because they're you know, they're a good team, and

172
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: they're the sort of team that I think will give

173
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: the Lakers a better challenge than the Grizzlies. But they

174
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: might not even get there, So we'll see what happens.

175
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: I know Damien was tired because I was watching the

176
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: TNT overtime feed of just him. Couldn't log in, couldn't

177
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 4: get access to my television, so I'm washing the dishes

178
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: watching the tn T overtime feed that just tracks Damian Lillard.

179
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 4: I've been down the floor for the second half. He

180
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 4: wasn't doing a lot of you know, much getting into

181
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 4: the paint.

182
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: Just he was.

183
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 4: He was definitely saving every ounce of energy. I mean,

184
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: I was watching him, was thinking, this guy is lazy

185
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: in a way, but obviously he just didn't have it

186
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 4: all the way through, you know. I think I think

187
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: as we see team sit guys, I think part of

188
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 4: it is they're just not used to playing every second

189
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: day or back to backs. Because it's we see Lebron

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 4: he comes back, he looks great. We see a lot

191
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: of guys resting just one game and then they come

192
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: back and then they're looking they're looking real good. So

193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: I'm sure they'd like Dame to sit a game here,

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: but that ain't happening.

195
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: No, not now for sure, and they play tomorrow. Correct, Yeah,

196
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: we do have back to back and actual back to back. Yeah,

197
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: that was tough one. I mean, look, I agree with

198
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: you guys. If I had to pick between this this

199
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: is what you got, I would go with that one.

200
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: But the Jazz Nuggets game equally is insane because, as

201
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I said, they're in the intro twice I think it was,

202
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: the Nuggets had like six point leads and just gave

203
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: it all away. Donovan Mitchell was hitting huge shot after

204
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: a huge shot. Now, maybe it's not as crazy because

205
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Denver ultimately pulls it out in the double overtime. But

206
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: I think we'd be singing a little different tune here

207
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: if the Jazz won this game. But it was, I mean,

208
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: blow for blow shots being made by Mitchell and Jamal

209
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: and then Yokich and all that. Like, it was a

210
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: fun game, this one for surely what you did you

211
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: catch up on this one?

212
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: Yes?

213
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: I did, And the big takeaway for me was Jamal

214
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: Murray looked pretty good. He didn't shoot all that well,

215
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: but he looked like he was ready to play. And yeah,

216
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 2: not a big game from twenty three points, twelve rebounds

217
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 2: and hit some big shots and he just makes a

218
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: huge difference to that team. I think he just gives

219
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 2: them another engine get some going, and they obviously need

220
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: him in the playoffs if they're going to make a

221
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: real push there.

222
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: So great to have him back there.

223
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 2: Nicola Yokich again just I mean, I've run out of

224
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: things to say about him. Just he's a crazy, crazy player.

225
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: But the Jazz, they will they will regret this one

226
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: as well because Donovan Mitchell, I mean again, he didn't

227
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: shoot all that well, but he hit the massive shots

228
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: to keep his team in it. And a fun, fun game,

229
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: great game, but at the end of it, like one

230
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: of those ones, you're just like you feel sorry for

231
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: the same that comes out short on this because the

232
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: Jazz they needed this one, I thought, and I played

233
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: well and off conly hit a big shot.

234
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: Joe Ingles was very good again, But I.

235
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Might be burying the lead too with this game because

236
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: we had how many like clock malfunctions in this one

237
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: tray too, Like we had a play where we ended

238
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: up like not starting the clock and then they're like, well,

239
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: let's just go time it our digital timer, and like, yep,

240
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: he would have gotten it off, and like, just got

241
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: it off. It was the right call. I mean, there

242
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: was three point four seconds left in overtime. Jo Kich

243
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: drove baseline. It was way too easy for the big guy.

244
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: But they didn't start the clock. And then they're like, well,

245
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: if we had started it when he touched it, he

246
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: would have gotten it off. I mean, then there was

247
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: other instances where the clock was not starting. Like that

248
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: adds to the WTF element? Does it?

249
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: Not?

250
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Tray?

251
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 5: Oh, you gotta agree with that. I'm like, Lee, you know,

252
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: I'm trying to live my life a little bit here

253
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: on a Saturday.

254
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to.

255
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: Watch Jazz versus Nuggets. So it's very strange to try

256
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 5: and catch up on this with all the clock malfunctions

257
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: that you're seeing happen on twin or that you know

258
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 5: are happening. And then you know the times are just

259
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 5: changing here and there in between cuts of little different plays,

260
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: so you go back and watch it.

261
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: I thought the shot that Jokic hit was in time.

262
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: I don't know, if it was timed perfectly to three

263
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: point one seconds with a stopwatch. I find it hard

264
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,599
Speaker 5: to time things with the stopwatch, but it looked like

265
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 5: a great move. He moved quick, and like he said afterwards,

266
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 5: he's like, I thought it was good because everybody kept playing,

267
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 5: and that's kind of what it seemed like to me.

268
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

269
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 5: Jokic again filed out another Monster Center. The guy looks

270
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 5: super quick and still super strong. He's been pretty impressive

271
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: so far. I think, you know he's had He had

272
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 5: that first game early where he only had like maybe

273
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: nineteen looked a little underwhelming. But for the most part,

274
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 5: Jokic has been impressive.

275
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. I started thinking of the Raptors Nets playoff series

276
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: back when their shot clocks weren't working and they'd like

277
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: had to take them down and they're basically the referees

278
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: were counting the shot clock and yeah, that was just

279
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 4: those I don't know those one moment. I guess we

280
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: have had many screw ups here in Orlando, so I

281
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: guess it's true we probably should have expected more, but yeah,

282
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 4: this is just one. So everything's working out pretty pretty well.

283
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 4: I would say, just watching Nikola Jokic play with now

284
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 4: Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Junior. I think this is

285
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: this is just heaven for Jokich because he's not a

286
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: selfish player, and now he's got two guys that can

287
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 4: legitimately score around him all the time. And now it's

288
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 4: going to be really really fun to watch him play

289
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: off both those guys. And I thought they were both

290
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: sort of I don't know, I don't know if they were.

291
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 4: They just didn't know where each other was going. Because

292
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 4: this is new for Jamal Murray to be playing as

293
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 4: a starter with Michael Porter Junior, and so that's going

294
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: to be something they got to get used to real

295
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 4: quick before the playoffs if Porter Junior is going to start.

296
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 4: And so that hurts the Nuggets. They had a bunch

297
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 4: of guys not starting with them as they got to

298
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 4: the bubble. They came late, including Jokic and obviously all

299
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: these injuries. So that hurts. But in the long run,

300
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 4: you know, after this postseason, it's going to be it's

301
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 4: gonna be sweet for Yo Kitch. He is going to

302
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 4: love just pecking off these guys. But now Murray's Murray

303
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: thinks he's the guy who's gonna be picking rolling with Yokic,

304
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: but Michael poul Junior's got to get his. Uh So

305
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: it's gonna be it's gonna be fun.

306
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: Though.

307
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: Those three guys, if they're there new Big three, that's

308
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: it's huge for them going forward.

309
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: How about the Yo kitch with the old classic five

310
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: pump fakes on Gobar in the page. I mean, he

311
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: should have been calling for three and the kid was

312
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: like a glitch in the matrix. This is pumping, pumping, pumping, pumping.

313
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: It was amazing. But he is yeah, I mean he

314
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: did that against one of the best defensive centers in

315
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: the league. At times, I thought made him just look

316
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: silly because he's, like Trey said, he's he can move

317
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: quicker because he has lost weight, but he's still a

318
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: gigantic dude. And he's a problem because go Bear that wingspan,

319
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: it blocks everybody else's shot or deters everybody else's shot.

320
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: But Yo kich is like it's got enough width to

321
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: him that he and he loves the little hook enough

322
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: that he feels pretty comfortable with it. It's like you're

323
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: not blocking that, Like the blocks got to come from

324
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: behind from somebody else. Go Bear's not gonna block it.

325
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: He does his arms along, they're not that long. And

326
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: then of course he had the classic driveway Dad Dirk

327
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: that nearly persuaded Tess. His answer here that they had

328
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: up on the scroll. I guess they're on ESPN.

329
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: That yeah, what does that mean?

330
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: Mean?

331
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: What do you mean what they're their ESPN thing or what?

332
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: I yeah, yeah, what does that mean?

333
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: No?

334
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: What you called it? Yeah, that's that's classic. Explain it

335
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 4: for new listeners.

336
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's the it's the Dirk, the one

337
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,479
Speaker 1: legged you know, fade away, which is next to impossible

338
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: to block. But we call it the driveway Dad Dirk

339
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: because it's because it's reminiscent to me of a son

340
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: and a dad playing in the driveway and then mom's

341
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: calling it's dinner time, and like, yeah, dad could just

342
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: back up like k did many times to go Bear.

343
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: He could back up his kid into the net and

344
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: just finish it, you know. But let's, you know, add

345
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: a little flair to this. So let's just a little

346
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: flair in the dramatics. So he steps back just like Dirk.

347
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: That's why I call it the driveway Dad Dirk, just

348
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: because it's because he's just a big, lumbering dude. And

349
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: it just looks crazy to me. Think he hits it

350
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: all the time. If it's a game, I feel like

351
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: there's a seventy five percent chance he hits that thing

352
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: when he's fading away like that.

353
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: So I think it's perfect because it's off the wrong

354
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: foot too. That's yeah, right right, It's like, it's all right,

355
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: we've got to go in and hang on a sec

356
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: Lean's back and just chucks it up. You can just

357
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: see him walking off while it's still in the egg.

358
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: Come we're gonna go in for dinner. That's it's classic.

359
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: Come on, we got meatloaf to eat. Let's all right, well,

360
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: speaking of meat load, we got some beef. Let's get

361
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: back to those missed dame free throws. After he choked

362
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: at the line there as we talked about Patrick Beverly,

363
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: who was not playing in this game, he's celebrated by

364
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: mocking the dame time gesture. He was hooning and hollering

365
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: over there. Morris was loving it, Williams was loving and

366
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: everybody's laughing. Asked about it after the game, Lillard had

367
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: this to say, quote, I sent Patrick Beverley home before

368
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: Paul George just got sent home by me. Last year

369
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He added more, but Lillard's comments then

370
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: led to a response from Paul George, who on Instagram,

371
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: of course, said, and you getting sent home this year

372
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: to it, which Lillard replied, keep switching teams, running from

373
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: the grind, you boys as chumps. There's more too, and

374
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: we can get into it, But Leo, I want you

375
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: to score the post scheme agb fear between PG, a

376
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: little bit of Beverly because he was in on the mix,

377
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: drop in a one two three CanCon versus deem. How

378
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 1: do you score it? I think there were some big

379
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: UFC fights on tonight. How are you scoring this.

380
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 3: One knockout win to Damian Lillard? Easy?

381
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: Easy, because let's start with the stakes here of what

382
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: they're playing for. If you're going to clap back at someone,

383
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: the value has to at least be close to equivalent,

384
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: and no regular season win is anywhere near as close

385
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: as a playoff series ending buzzer beater, which Beverly and

386
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: George have both been on the wrong end of courtesy

387
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: of Damian Lillard. Right, so let's start with Patrick Beverley

388
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: because he wasn't even playing right now, you're taking a

389
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: victory lap on a guy, not because you stopped him

390
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: defensively or you hit a shot in his face or

391
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: anything like that, because he blew it at the line,

392
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 2: and Lillard owned up to he said, yeah, I blew it.

393
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 3: I blew it.

394
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: He's not running off hiding from that. So I think

395
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: that's the weakest of weak sauce.

396
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: And then he's giving him. This is Beverly giving him

397
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: the what Lillard gave.

398
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Paul George last year after he knocked him out of

399
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and he knocked him out of Oklahoma City,

400
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: not Russell Westbrook out of Oklahoma City. Right, so you

401
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: know you're you're in sort of saying in a regular

402
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: season game, yeah, we're even now, we're even. So for

403
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: Beverly like that, just to me, is is weak.

404
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 3: That's weak.

405
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: And then now, look, Dame has a proven track record

406
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: of hitting these monster shots, which we know, you know,

407
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: he's done a million times before and he's gonna have

408
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: a few more before his career is done. And Paul

409
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: George saying you're getting sent home this year, He's probably right,

410
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: He's probably right, But don't say when the guys foots

411
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: halfway out the door, you know you've got you've got

412
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: to say something like that before that. And then Dame

413
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: dame to come back and just say you keep switching

414
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: teams running from the grind.

415
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's facts, boy, Because we.

416
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Got Lian Lillard's corner.

417
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, like because and then Paul George went on Instagram.

418
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: I think that's what you're referring to later on sort

419
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: of saying, you know.

420
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: Oh, that's where Paul George blew it Instagram story.

421
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: Guy, he's saying, I had success on my first team,

422
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: and I've had injuries, and again Paul had Paul George

423
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: had one of the most disgusting injuries, and full credit

424
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: for him come back and be an all NBA level player.

425
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: But every single player deals with injuries and deals with

426
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: having to overcome things like that, and you can't then

427
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: use that once you've thrown a haymaker or attempted to

428
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: throw a haymaker at Damian Lillard. So Lillard basically just said, listen, man,

429
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 2: I got you got out of okay see because of me.

430
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: I knocked you out of that. And this is a

431
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 3: regular season game. I blew it. Hand up my fault.

432
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: You can't just dance on a guy's grave. Then so

433
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned, and I would love to

434
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: see these two teams in a playoff series. That would

435
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: be awesome for me.

436
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: Because Lilid was saying that Patrick Beverley come out on

437
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: the court, man, I want to see you out on

438
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: the court again. It's like if you're sitting on the

439
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: sideline there taking you know, taking cheap shots and carrying

440
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: on like a clown like he was, Patrick Beverley falling

441
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: over himself.

442
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: Men, you're not even on the court, dude, come on,

443
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: come on.

444
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, Lillard lost the lost the battle today, no doubt,

445
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 2: but the actual war, the actual sort of where he

446
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: stands in the NBA's as far as you know, like

447
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: as a killer and a guy who has numerous numerous

448
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: big moments. Little doesn't have to do a lower himself

449
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: to that. So he wins by ko first round. I

450
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: don't know if you guys, I don't know if you

451
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: guys saw that the on No, no, it was on

452
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: it was on Twitter this week where there was there

453
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: was two big guys angry at at a bouncer somewhere.

454
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: I don't know where it was.

455
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: And anyway, the bouncer just throws two punches and knocks

456
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 2: out these two guys, and the other guy comes back

457
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: and he knocks him out again. That's basically what I

458
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: saw today. I saw Paul George and Patrick Beverley trying

459
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 2: to throw punches at the bouncer, and the bouncer just

460
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: went whack whack and knock them both out.

461
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: So uh, that's the way I see it. KO not

462
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: even close. Lilard wins this one.

463
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 5: Wow flalles victory for Demian Lillard, but a flawless breakdown

464
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 5: for le Allison Hawani breaking down Instagram beefs.

465
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

466
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 5: That was Anderson Spider Silva like with the precision breakdown.

467
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 5: But I mean you're right, Lee, the weakest of weak sauce.

468
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 5: You've got the clap back equivalent theory. The only thing

469
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 5: I could possibly add. You gotta love Damian Lillard throwing

470
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 5: in an old school insult like chumps, calling somebody a

471
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 5: bozo or a jib when you're reaching way back, it

472
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: feels good. I'm with you, La, team Willard here.

473
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: What do you think?

474
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: No question, it's all dame. You can't poke holes in

475
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: his past. He's he's dame. I mean he hasn't messed up.

476
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: I will say one thing about Dame. He went on

477
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 4: later and uh threw up an Instagram post himself. It's

478
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 4: him with the ball with a rap line as his caption,

479
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: sucks prey and prey on my downfall, but every time

480
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: I hit the ground, I bounce up like round ball.

481
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's his line.

482
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: I assume it is or maybe not. I thought it

483
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: was his because he obviously has a ton of songs.

484
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, you know, reference.

485
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: Comes only because I saw the T and T guys,

486
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: and someone said it was a biggie reference.

487
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: But I don't know if it is or not. If

488
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 3: I were just saying, hey, that's a biggie thing.

489
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 4: So if it was a biggie thing, then it was cooler.

490
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 4: But if he's quoting himself, I don't.

491
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: Know, a little weird to quote himself now that I

492
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: think about it.

493
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what. That's the only only faux pas, the

494
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: only mark against him. But I would say it was

495
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 4: strange to see Beverly and the crew sitting there on

496
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: the bench doing that in a regular season game, especially

497
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: when they're not playing. It definitely had a little vibe

498
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 4: of Lebron and Wade mocking Dirk in the twenty eleven

499
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: finals when they're in the hallway coughing, just because it

500
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: means it's just so what we love it, this is

501
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 4: what we love.

502
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: Were always complaining all these guys are best buddies, all

503
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: they're hugging each other. I was like, Oh, where's the fight,

504
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: where's the hate, where's the beef? And then we get

505
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: this and I was like, I don't know, maybe it

506
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: was a little too much for Beverly to laughing at it.

507
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: So fuck, this is great, absolutely great. Like I love

508
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: how you guys scored it. I love the breakdown from Lee.

509
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's a winner in this. This is great. If you

510
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: watch the game, there was a lot of chirping going on.

511
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: Now I think this is what actually happened. I saw

512
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: when Gary Trent like hit his like I don't know,

513
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth three of the day. There was a

514
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: mix up with Paul George. There was a lot of

515
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: barking going on, and Paul was not happy. I'm sure

516
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: he was like, you're Gary Trent junior, give me a break.

517
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 4: You know.

518
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: There was there was that vibe to it, there was

519
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: that energy to the game, and I think it just

520
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: sort of led its way to this moment where lil

521
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: It he misses the free throws. But this is awesome.

522
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: I love this. I am a fan of this, and

523
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's going too far. It's part of

524
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: just the trash talk is weird now because it happens

525
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: on the floor, Yeah, and then it happens on social media,

526
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: and it's just an extension of it, and then we

527
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: can say like, oh, it was the better comeback, what

528
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: was the better line? Love it, I'm here for this.

529
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: They seem to some actual beef and Lilard even said, like,

530
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm not offended by it. He said, anything it tells

531
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: you like that I'm in their heads a little bit,

532
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: like I put them through hell and they now want to,

533
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: you know, sort of kick me while I'm down. Okay,

534
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: that's sort of how it goes.

535
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that they were showing Lillard's work and what they

536
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: were basically saying, so you know, like that's the.

537
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 3: Thing Lillard's I don't.

538
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 2: I think it might be only Michael Jordan, but Lilard's

539
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: the only other guy who's got two buzzer beating series

540
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: enders in his career.

541
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 3: So it's a pretty elite company.

542
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 2: There, and I think, you know, poor George saying we

543
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 2: I had more success on the paces, I mean conference

544
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: finals as conference finals was there last year?

545
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: You know, like whether you get sweat fourth twice?

546
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly, So you know, and again it's not

547
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: a great brag.

548
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, you've got to you've got to

549
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: you've got to have.

550
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: Something that's like easily you know, conceivable that it's like

551
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: this is more significant than anything you've.

552
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: Achieved and not there so, but Lilard as well. What

553
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: I love about him, and.

554
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 2: I've talked about this before, is he's calm, he's controlled.

555
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 3: There's no emotion when he talks.

556
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: He's just he's just sticking that knife in behind the

557
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: mask and just saying, yeah, they respect me because of

558
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 2: what I've done to them in the past. And it's

559
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: like those guys scare me way more than the guys

560
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: like Patrick Beverly who were just so a motive on

561
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: the side.

562
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: It was the quiet guy at the bar, exactly like that.

563
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: And that's the thing with Lily, you know, like he

564
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: wants to do it for Portland and he wants to

565
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: be the guy who's going to get the Blazers over

566
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: the line, no matter what it takes. And now that

567
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: they lost this game and he's played a ton of

568
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: minutes as I mentioned earlier, but the motivation for him

569
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: now to get into the playoffs and potentially get a

570
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: chance at going for the Clippers.

571
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: Are going against the Clippers is going to be so

572
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 3: much fun.

573
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 5: I think, Well, when it's going down at the borrow,

574
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 5: you more of the quiet guy or the hype guy.

575
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 3: Interesting. Interesting.

576
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: I remember one time I got into it this guy

577
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 2: in London because he was he was having to go

578
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: with my friend and I didn't like it. But my

579
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: friend kind of had like his girlfriend sort of sitting

580
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: so he couldn't get to him. This guy threw a

581
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: cheap shot at him and I just like sprung out

582
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: of nowhere and grabbed him around the throat like that

583
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: and had him on the ground and everyone just.

584
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: Piled in and uh, and then I got h they

585
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 3: were put there that at that time.

586
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: Ever tell me about my friend toes. Okay, I know

587
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: he's got eight toes. We get to see that. You

588
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: don't get to see that.

589
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: But but then they all it all like there were

590
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: so many people that just got broken up, but this

591
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: guy got thrown out and uh and I was glawed

592
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: to stay in there. And I heard someone say, oh,

593
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 2: there's the Sunbury boy.

594
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: Sunbury, You're a legend manh yeah.

595
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: And I didn't even like there was no punches, It's

596
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: just it was just a reaction, like dive at his

597
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: throat because he was a prick, this guy. And uh

598
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: and yeah he took a cheap shot at me, old mate,

599
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: and uh, yeah it was on anyway.

600
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going here. I got one

601
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: more once we got for you guys.

602
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

603
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Two teams picked up more wins. Two surprise teams. Let's

604
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: call them that. Pacers improved a four and one with

605
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: a big win over the Lakers tonight and the Suns.

606
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: They stayed hot and perfect. They defeated the Miami Heat,

607
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: who were missing a lot of their guards. No Butler,

608
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: no drug eg, no Nune. But they're perfect still the

609
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: only team left undefeated. So who's been the bigger surprise

610
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: here in the bubble? Is it TJ. Warren and the

611
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: Pacers or is it Devin Booker and the Suns? Tray

612
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: you get it started.

613
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 5: This question is too tough because every time I feel

614
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 5: like TJ. Warren has become the official Bubble boy like

615
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 5: he has in another amazing game, he takes over the

616
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 5: conversation on social media. Devin Booker and the Suns then

617
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: played two hours later.

618
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: And kind of won up him a little bit.

619
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 5: You remember, after that third game, I think Warren had

620
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 5: thirty four and he was, you know, basically the Bubble

621
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 5: MVP at that point. Devin Booker then hits the game

622
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 5: winner over Paul George and suddenly the Suns are all

623
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 5: the talk of the Bubble later on that day, and

624
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 5: that's what it was like today as well, seeing TJ.

625
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 5: Warren ball out and then seeing another win for the Suns. Ultimately,

626
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 5: I think the surprise of TJ. Warren individually as a

627
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 5: player a huge surprise, despite the fact that he came

628
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 5: in with a little bit of a rap as a score.

629
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 5: To see him as a superstar is different. But the

630
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 5: story of the Bubble is the Phoenix Suns five and

631
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 5: oh now their best win streak since twenty fourteen.

632
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: Don't need to fact check.

633
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 5: It because it comes straight from the Suns. They've got

634
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 5: a lot of momentum right now. Are they the best

635
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 5: team in the Bubble so far? They're five and oh,

636
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: the only undefeated team. I don't know if they've actually

637
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 5: been the best team, but it's hard to argue with

638
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 5: the results.

639
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: What do you guys think, tasks.

640
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 4: God, it's gonna be fun watching them come down to

641
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: the wire. I wonder if people's opinion of them changes

642
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: if they don't make the playoffs or if you know, TJ.

643
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: Warren falls off against Jimmy Butler on satur or on Monday.

644
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 4: I think that's what it comes down to. For me,

645
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 4: it's TJ Warren has been the most surprising guy because

646
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 4: the numbers are stupid at thirty five points a game

647
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: and sixty percent from the floor. But it all comes

648
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 4: down to Monday for me, the rematch against Jimmy Butler.

649
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: If it's real, then he'll have a real good game

650
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 4: against Jimmy Butler because he'll be motivated. And Jimmy Butler

651
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 4: has missed three games in Mark nine. He will be uh,

652
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: he will be ready to play on Monday. So that's

653
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 4: a good sign for everybody. But yeah, both both stories. Yeah,

654
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: it's a toss up. It's a it's a real coin

655
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 4: flip because those numbers are dumb. Five and oh, for

656
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 4: the first time in six years is dumb, But it's

657
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: possible that the Suns can keep this going with the

658
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 4: thunder Sixers and MAVs on their schedule. You know, they're

659
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 4: kind of through the the really tough part and it's

660
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 4: still tough, but they may need to go seven and

661
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: one to get in there because they're still currently not

662
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: in there. So I wonder if you know, we look

663
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 4: back and say, if they go six and two, is

664
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 4: it was it monumental If they don't make it in

665
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: I hope, I hope to see it keep going. But yeah,

666
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 4: Dame's not gonna die. This is gonna be a battle

667
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 4: till the end.

668
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: On Friday, Yeah, Phoenix has to go last. I saw

669
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: they gotta go three and oh and if Portland goes

670
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: two and one the rest of the way, the Suns

671
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: would be in the playing series. Now, of course that

672
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: depends on what happens with the Grizzlies, but that that

673
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: Blazer's loss was actually massive with the Sun still chase them.

674
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: And you said they're tasks, I mean thunder seventy six

675
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: ers maps, I mean, the Sun's have proven they can

676
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: beat a lot of good teams here down there, so

677
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: why couldn't they beat those guys? And I liked that

678
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: they won this one tonight they did a little different

679
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: if he caught this one. They had just been on fire,

680
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 1: like a lot of their guys had been just shooting

681
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: the lights out, and Carter tonight had a ton of threes.

682
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: Jevon Carter. He was great, but they wanted a little uglier.

683
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty, and they got stops when they needed to. Booker,

684
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was playmaking lead down the stretch,

685
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: like he actually didn't shoot a ton even in the

686
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, beautiful dimes. He was doing some little things

687
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: that I just don't remember seeing a Booker do too.

688
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: And I think a part of it is because his

689
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: team is winning now, there's like momentum, there, a feel

690
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: good story, and he's like digging down now to like

691
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: keep a rebound alive on a tap and stuff like that,

692
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: doing the like little tiny things to help you win

693
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: games as well as scoring the thirty points. But iOS

694
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: was like more impressed, Like how they pulled this one out.

695
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't just every guy on fire and just ride

696
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: the Booker train down the fourth corridor, hit shot after

697
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: shutter shot. Ye, it was pretty pretty gross at times,

698
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: but that's good. I mean, you're gonna have to win

699
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: some of these games like that. You're not gonna go

700
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: flowless eating or with just shooting the lake, So you

701
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: got to win.

702
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: Win them like this, like any wins right now, just

703
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: great for the Suns because it just gives them the

704
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: hope and belief that they are going to be better

705
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: than they have been these last few seasons.

706
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: And you're right.

707
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: I mean Booker fifteen to twenty six, he just didn't

708
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: hit a three, he was oh for seven from downtown,

709
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: but otherwise he shot the ball. We're really well finished

710
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: with thirty five points, and he hit those last two

711
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: field goals, the one where Bam got the goaltender on

712
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: a drive inside and the other jump shot to just

713
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: seal the game. Like they weren't they were up at

714
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: that point. But again that's that's book a kind of again,

715
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: what he did against the Clippers, it's like the franchise

716
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: guy taking the ball and making those shots and that.

717
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: But he also hit like bridges cutting back door. He

718
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: kept going to Carter, who couldn't miss tonight from from downtown.

719
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: They went to him a couple of times like wide

720
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: open in the corner.

721
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say for the heat. I mean you've

722
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: already mentioned Jimmy Butler's there. They're also without drag Itch Tyler.

723
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: Hero was their playmaker again today. He had a better

724
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: performance this game than he did others. But they missed

725
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 2: Butler and drag It for creativity purposes. So you know

726
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: that's something that I don't know if Dragon should be

727
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: back as well as Jimmy Butler on Monday.

728
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: But you know, again, we're still a close game. They

729
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: had chances to win there.

730
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 4: And and Kendrick Nunn too didn't play.

731
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, Kendrick Nunn was also, so they are

732
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: a little bit shorthanded. But yeah, this game came down

733
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: to the wire and again Phoenix Phoenix pull it out.

734
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: So you know it's it's good for them, good for them,

735
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: honestly good.

736
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: I saw this go on. Just to go back to TJ.

737
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Warren for a second, you said the dumb numbers, He's

738
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: averaging thirty five points per game. He's a plus, he's

739
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: a plus eighty in uh in the plus minus, which

740
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: is the best so far in the bubble? Uh can

741
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: we add bubble TJ. Warren to like the other iconic

742
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: sort of thing NBA guys like big Shot, Bob Untucked,

743
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie Game six Clay, Like, can we just put Bubble

744
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Warren there?

745
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 4: Can?

746
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: That just be the thing I saw that going around Twitter.

747
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: It feels rate even though this is these uh, these

748
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: games are not of importance, not as much importance as

749
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 1: obviously those guys I'm naming that are hitting shots in

750
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: like conference finals and finals and stuff like that. But

751
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: I want to just add Bubble Warren because that guy too,

752
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: he is emotionless, like he's he's got the weird Kawhi

753
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: vibe to him where it's like he's hits big show

754
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: after big Shot, it's just like nothing, He's like just

755
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. Let's just do it again.

756
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, That's why I worry a little bit about Monday

757
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: because the one game that he has had in the

758
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: Bubble den Right was emotion filled, even though his face

759
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 4: wasn't shown. It was against his old team that he

760
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 4: didn't have a good game. That was his only bad game.

761
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: Of course, Michael Bridges was awesome for the Suns that night,

762
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 4: doing a great job guarding him. But I wonder if

763
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 4: it's an emotional against Jimmy Butler, because it will be

764
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 4: maybe not as emotional as his old team. But is

765
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: he going to perform. I mean, he might be the

766
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 4: quiet guy at the bar, but it might be sterring

767
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: up in that body as he is being quiet. So

768
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to Monday seeing how I mean, he's

769
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 4: just he's just ridiculous right now, like the ones he's

770
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 4: he's closing games with, like Layton games are three four

771
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: five feet behind the line against the Lakers and the

772
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: other night as well. I mean, he just fifty five

773
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 4: percent from three. That's he's a bubble boy.

774
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: I guess this like it's got the floater going like

775
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: crazy right now too, Like he gets into the near

776
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: the lane a little bit and just it's got the

777
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: perfect touch. He must be.

778
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 5: Almost joke the way he shoots it too, right, Like

779
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 5: he's not setting his feet, He's just kind of kicking

780
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 5: them sideway. He's throwing it up and almost running back

781
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 5: down the court before the ball even gets to the rim.

782
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 4: He's feeling it well.

783
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: We had some follow up news to Ben Simmons. We

784
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: learned today that he will leave the Orlando campus have

785
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: surgery to remove loose body in his left knee. According

786
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: to Jeff Stotts, who is like an injury analyst that

787
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: runs in streat clothes. The term loose body is used

788
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: to describe like a piece of bone or cartilage that

789
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: is floating, you know, within the space of the joint.

790
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: So he is likely gonna miss the Sixers entire postseason.

791
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I know there's some conflicting report. It's like if they

792
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: go deep enough, I don't really know what that means,

793
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: Like is that conference finals finals, if the Sixers are

794
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: still there, he could maybe make his way back. But Tess,

795
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean I was dead wrong. I was optimistic. I

796
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: was like, you know this type of thing. You know,

797
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: he's got this weird kneecap thing. You can come back

798
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: in like a week or two A lot of people do,

799
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: depends on the paintings in. But he's getting surgery. I mean,

800
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be weeks upon weeks here. And is this

801
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, is it almost better maybe for the

802
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: Sixers to know they're not going to have them, So

803
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: like next man up? And what are we doing? Mentality?

804
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 4: What do you think I think I'd rather have Ben Simmons,

805
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 4: I guess, you know.

806
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: But I guess would you rather have like, oh, he

807
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: might be Like it was like the Jowell embiad thing

808
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year's like, oh, we might have

809
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: them for this game. We may not have them this game,

810
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: like I don't know, maybe for a coach and like

811
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: a game plan, and the rest of the guys like, Okay,

812
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: we don't have them. It sucks. We could use them,

813
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: but we don't have them, so let's let's figure it out.

814
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the thing was a little different because

815
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 4: he was sick one game and not in the game.

816
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 4: This will be for a couple of weeks. And I

817
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 4: don't want to be a Jeff Stottson streat close here,

818
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 4: but I did google some some history of loose bodies

819
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 4: and knees and how long it's gonna take, and it

820
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 4: shouldn't be a long period of time. But even if

821
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: it's two, three, four weeks, that means first round without

822
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons, and that's super scary for the Philadelphia seventy

823
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 4: six ers. The way they're playing, I'm not stoked to

824
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 4: see them without a really great ball handler. And there's

825
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 4: gonna be a lot on Shake Milton and Josh Richardson

826
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: and obviously EMBIID and Embiid has definitely came through, but

827
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 4: this is gonna be the MBAT show. Really, he is

828
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 4: there one, two, and three options right now. And yeah,

829
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 4: the lineup's gonna be tough for Brett Brown. And and

830
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 4: he put on a real brave face today saying that

831
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: I think this could galvanize our group. Sweet mother of Mercy,

832
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 4: I will come on, come on, Brett, come on, man,

833
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: what else is he gonna say?

834
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm about to lose my job.

835
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you should say, well, Ben Simmons missing the

836
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: first round, maybe that saves my job for another year.

837
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: Just but you know, they have to they have to

838
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: advance Ben Simmons are not, I think, to save Brett

839
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 4: Brown's job. And then and then that would be a

840
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: heck of an accomplishment, especially with the way they're playing.

841
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: And we talked about au Horford on the bench or not,

842
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: and that's that's gonna be a huge decision as to

843
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 4: what they get out of this team. And and and

844
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 4: it's not just Ben Simmons going out and what those

845
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 4: starters are going to be like. But if you throw

846
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 4: a Horford in the starting lineup, this team just gets

847
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 4: so shallow on the bench. And that's what I'm worried about,

848
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 4: is okay e beads minutes they should be really good.

849
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 4: But then you're gonna trust Alec Burks, matist Thaibel and

850
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 4: Mike Scott and I'm a furkin off the bench. I mean,

851
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: that's your foursome. Are you gonna win those minutes? It's uh,

852
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 4: it's gonna be tough for Brett Brown to get a

853
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 4: lot out of that team.

854
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: You better pray and keeping beat out of foul trouble

855
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: once you get into the playoffs or they are toast.

856
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: But I keep thinking, you guys, who was it? Was

857
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: it Task and Tray that had embid for their MVP

858
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason. We're making our predictions of like maybe

859
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: this is his moment here. He's obviously not winning MVP.

860
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the award finalist in a second,

861
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: but like, could embid with no Simmons just putting the

862
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: sixers on his back and like do something special here

863
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: for three or four series.

864
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 5: People like to reminisce about nineties basketball, will start watching

865
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 5: the Philadelphia seventy six ers because you're gonna see a

866
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 5: whole bunch of post up possessions and it's gonna be

867
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 5: pounding it into Embid him trying to draw fouls. It's

868
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 5: gonna be shack all over again. And maybe that's a

869
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 5: way that he can get back to that best player

870
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 5: in the world level that he likes to call himself.

871
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 5: Maybe there is a little bit of a benefit to

872
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: having the clarity of knowing that we're not gonna have

873
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 5: Ben Simmons. I think they should keep him out for

874
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 5: the rest of the season. This has been a disaster

875
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 5: of a year already for the seventy six ers, So

876
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 5: what's the point of having four more seeding games to

877
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 5: figure out your team? Then you play a first round series,

878
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 5: maybe you get lucky because you've played well against the Celtics,

879
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 5: you beat them in the playoffs. Then you have to

880
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 5: figure out Ben Simmons when he comes back. Why not

881
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 5: just get him healthy for next year and try and

882
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 5: figure something out. This comes down a lot the seventy

883
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 5: six or success. I do think to Josh Richardson, he's

884
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 5: kind of skated by this year because the fit with

885
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 5: Horford has been so tough. Josh Richardson is a guy

886
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: who people had a lot of optimism about him when

887
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 5: he was in Miami that he could reach to a

888
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 5: level of a Jimmy Butler, to a Kawhi Leonard, you know,

889
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 5: as a playmaker and as a guy who's able to

890
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 5: score and be a twenty point per game guy, and

891
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 5: he hasn't been that. He has struggled to be the fourth,

892
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 5: fifth scoring option. And now he's going to be moving

893
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 5: up the ranks as and the ball handlers. So let's

894
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 5: see what you got. Let's see what all that promise

895
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 5: was all about.

896
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Willy anything to add to this Simmons news, Just.

897
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 3: I can't think he'll be back either.

898
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: When you to say the term loose body, to me,

899
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: that's not the sort of surgery where you just go

900
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 2: remove it then you're back to normal. I think there's

901
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 2: going to be a long time, and I think the

902
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: Sixers are better to just let him rest and get

903
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: back because, yeah, you know, if he's leaving the bubble,

904
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to quarantine on return anyway. And yeah,

905
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: this is a this is a big blow for him

906
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 2: because he had the back injury earlier in this season.

907
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 2: So I think he just needs to get himself right

908
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: and ready for whenever next season starts.

909
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: Did we see the video of when he did it?

910
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: Because I couldn't find it, Well, is it out there

911
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: like I've saw him limping. I saw looking at it

912
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: going ah like something wrong. But has anybody seen the

913
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: actual like when the cold I assume he bang these

914
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: was somebody right, or he banged it off the ground.

915
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: I thought it was a landing. It was landing on

916
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: something and then he and then he sort of linked off.

917
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 2: That's what I thought. But yeah, I saw the same

918
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: thing you did where he's just kind of.

919
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: He was grabbing at it.

920
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

921
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 4: Was on that. It was on that possession. I don't

922
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: know what he did, but it was that pre limp.

923
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, maybe the robots didn't catch it on camera.

924
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 4: I don't know.

925
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: I guess not. All right, Well, the NBA today announced

926
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: the finalist for the six major awards that honor the

927
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: top performers for the regular season. The voting results are

928
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: from a global panel of sportswriters and broadcasters and do

929
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: not include any performances from the NBA bubble restarts. So TJ.

930
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: Warren can't win all of these awards. Okay, MVP. Your

931
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: three finalists, this is all we know right now. Jannis

932
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: Harden and Lebron Rookie of the Year, John Morant, Kendrick Nunn,

933
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson, Most Improved Bam, Luca Brandon, Ingram, Defensive Player

934
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: of the Year, Giannis ad and Rudy Gobert, sixth man,

935
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: Montrez Harrald, Dennis Shruder, Williams and Coach of the Year

936
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer, Billy Donovan, Nick Nurse. Biggest takeaway from this

937
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: task any surprise from the names either in there or

938
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: in a mission in the top three, or is this

939
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: exactly what you thought?

940
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 4: This is how we This is when people get angry

941
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 4: about guys being left off the Rookie Sophomore Rising Stars

942
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 4: Challenge game. Now people get angry that their guy wasn't

943
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 4: nominated for an award. It's always a blast, you know,

944
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 4: It's it feels nitpicky for sure. First I thought James

945
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: Harden at third lee. How do you like that?

946
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 2: Hey man, I'm not on the voting committee. You know

947
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: I had the micro vote. He's going to finish the

948
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 2: so it doesn't really matter.

949
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 4: You know. I thought this one, and you guys don't

950
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 4: like me talking about this guy, but a most improved guy.

951
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 4: DeVante Graham should have been up there over Luca. This

952
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 4: is what his numbers are. He's a second round pick

953
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 4: second year player. He jumped from four point seven points

954
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: to eighteen point two points, uh two point six assists

955
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 4: to seven point five assists, thirty four May threes to

956
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 4: over two hundred May threes. I don't know, throw them

957
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 4: all there.

958
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: But otherwise Luca shouldn't be there. I mean, I won't

959
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: go on my rant again, but that's silly. I mean,

960
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: just it's ridiculous to me. He's a second year player.

961
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 5: You gotta win MVP, if you win Rookie of the Year,

962
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 5: to be the most improved player the next year, you

963
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 5: have to win NB.

964
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: They didn't crack the top three. Ter Yeah, he's incredible.

965
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: He's incredible, but I hate that I just make it's

966
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: so silly to me. But sorry, what we're gonna say, well, just.

967
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 2: That that he did take a from like oh my god,

968
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: this guy's good to like an MVP candidate, you know. Yeah,

969
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: I mean that's what you talk about as well. It's

970
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 2: not just the numbers, it's like he did make that leap.

971
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: I agree he shouldn't be there, but I'm just saying

972
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: he's got a strong case. I think, as strong as

973
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 2: any one of those guys there. Because it was like, Wow,

974
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: he's already potentially an MVP. He started off incredibly hard,

975
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: he did cool down a little bit, and Schuman's got

976
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: all his clutch numbers there. You know, Schum likes to

977
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: rub the salt into those wounds because he doesn't have

978
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 2: great clutch numbers. But I mean, he's an incredible, incredible player,

979
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: and this war, this the ward is just weird that

980
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 2: someone could even be considered to that when it's like

981
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 2: it's not really designed for Luca Lucas.

982
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,359
Speaker 1: No, that's my point. When did we start doing this?

983
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: When did this movement happen for like a guy in

984
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: his second year who was a kick ass rookie and

985
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: then got sure he got better as the superstars do

986
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: all the time, and we started including him in the MIPA.

987
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: Just don't really get it. I don't know when it happened.

988
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: Who's to blame, But.

989
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: You know what, they just make it three players, which

990
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: is great. So there's not like a big whole long

991
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: list of players that you can talk about. It's like

992
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: these are the three, that's all we're going with. It's

993
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: out of these three, it's great.

994
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 3: The other thing I.

995
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: Will say, and again, I'm not sure who I would

996
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: replace but Ben Simmons I thought was going to get

997
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: in the top three defensive players of the year, not

998
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: going to get in ahead of yarnis not going to

999
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: get ahead ahead of Anthony Davis. Pustibly have Rudy Gobert

1000
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: because I don't think Rudy I don't think Rudy was

1001
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 2: very good this year. For that, I don't think I

1002
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: think he had a bad defensive year because he got

1003
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: cooked a few times and the Jazzz defense wasn't great.

1004
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 3: Not all on him.

1005
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:34,959
Speaker 2: Of course, he's a great defensive player, but he didn't

1006
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: have a great year I think I thought defensively, whereas

1007
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons I thought was outstanding for the sixers.

1008
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: I think maybe the only other issue I have with

1009
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: the finalists here is Zion being on the list for

1010
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. I mean, if we're agreeing that

1011
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve to win it because he only played

1012
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: nineteen games, but we're also saying, okay, he should still

1013
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: be in the top three. It's like, to me, that's

1014
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: a little strange, Like maybe someone else is just more

1015
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: deserving to have their name on this press release, like

1016
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: a Brandon Clark or someone else, just someone that had

1017
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: more games played and impressed as a rookie. It's like,

1018
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: if we've said we're not gonna, like in theory, give it. Well,

1019
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: I guess maybe people were voting for him. Who knows,

1020
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: he will find out. Maybe he got a couple first

1021
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: place votes. Maybe people thought nineteen games was enough. But

1022
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. That part's a little odd to me. Otherwise, Yeah,

1023
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 1: this is basically who we all sort of expected, Trey.

1024
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you.

1025
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 5: The Rookie of the Year stood out to me just

1026
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 5: because it kind of makes the rookie class look bad

1027
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 5: because you got Jahn Morant drafted this year, a great

1028
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 5: rookie of the year. He's gonna win it, no problem.

1029
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 5: But Kendrick Nunn was an undrafted player who wasn't even

1030
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 5: in this past draft. And then, like you say, in Zion,

1031
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 5: nineteen games. Yeah, it kind of looks like John Morant

1032
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 5: was the only real rookie that played this year. But uh,

1033
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 5: he also was the guy who's gonna win it, So

1034
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what other names you're putting up.

1035
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see if it's unanimous or if someone throws

1036
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: a vote to Zion or somebody else. All right, let's

1037
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: start wrapping this bad boy up libly A littly honorable mentions,

1038
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: a lot of honorable mentions tonight The Joker, Booker, Brook Lopez, Braun,

1039
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: Bubble TJ, Donovan Mitchell, and I can be your Taylor

1040
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: Hero also had a good game filling in there for

1041
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: the heat Guards. But war Boy goes to Luca thirty

1042
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: six points, twelve to twenty four, shooting nine to ten

1043
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: at the line, three three pointers, fourteen rebounds, nineteen assists

1044
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: and one steal. I think they sat on the broadcast

1045
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: and he tied Lebron from most assists in a game

1046
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: this season with nineteen. I think Lebron did that crazy

1047
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 1: crazy stuff Luke against the war Boy. Ley tweeted the night.

1048
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 4: Tweet over night.

1049
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: Wow Twitter, Yes, I've actually got one tonight too as well.

1050
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 3: I've got two.

1051
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: Actually it's two from the same guy, and it comes

1052
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: from former Clippers play by play man Ralph Lawler, who

1053
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: tweeted this this morning. He said, Kawhi will sit out

1054
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 2: for Clippers versus Paces today on first date of back

1055
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: to back games. Hopefully you will play every game the

1056
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 2: rest of the way right through the NBA Finals. Now,

1057
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 2: we obviously made a little blunder there and everyone on

1058
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: Twitter was there to jump on top of oh me,

1059
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 2: oh my, which they shouldn't have done.

1060
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: So he followed that tweet up with this.

1061
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: Of course I meant Portland, however, why we'll not play

1062
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: against places today as well? So in a way I

1063
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: was correct some of you, as though you have never

1064
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: made a mistake.

1065
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: Ease up, wow, Bingal, great stuff, Raffy, he.

1066
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: Is retired, he's eighty years old and he's still doing

1067
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 4: the daily transactional updates.

1068
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,959
Speaker 2: Well, well, Tassy, let me you know he had another

1069
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 2: one about that. Let me see if I can tell

1070
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 2: you what he says here, as he says, I have

1071
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: no inside info about the team, but I do think

1072
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 2: that Kippers are the best team in the league. As

1073
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 2: they entered the POS pet Leonard and George healthy, and

1074
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 2: they will have a great chance to win it all.

1075
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: T and T said today that Tres.

1076
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 2: Will return early in the week at a four day quarantine,

1077
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: so he's still very very much invested in the team.

1078
00:47:54,320 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, Oh just holding his microphone on his couch anytime.

1079
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 4: That's Lawler's law.

1080
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: He can quit his team. What do you think about

1081
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: calling the playoffs the pos? I'm not sure the post office.

1082
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, we gotta say it, man, we

1083
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 5: got to.

1084
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: Alright to pick them results from Saturday here. Yeah, it

1085
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: was the Clippers Blazers game. We gotta talk about this

1086
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: in tiny bit Blazers or ex excuse me. The Clippers

1087
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: were favored by four and a half, so they had

1088
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: to win by five. Now, as we talked about, Blazers

1089
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: were killing it, dominating most of the game. Here come

1090
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: the Clippers, all these guys that you don't rarely see

1091
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: playing for the Clippers in crunch time, and they go up,

1092
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: they go up. What did they go up? They go

1093
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: up five, and the Blazers have a couple of seconds

1094
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: and it's like they're not gonna win the game, but

1095
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: if somebody gonna come down here and shoot it.

1096
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 3: C J.

1097
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: McCollum gets it, gets to around the three point line,

1098
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: goes to fire it, shoots it, It goes in, and

1099
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: they counted on the TNT score bug. It looked like

1100
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: you could see the one official puts his arms up. Yep,

1101
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: that's a three. So that would be a cover for

1102
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: the Blazers despite losing. But then they go and check it.

1103
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: They go over talking through the plexiglass. Nope, nope, came

1104
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: just after the buzzer. We got to take it off.

1105
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: Task wins because he's the only one to take the clippers.

1106
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh Lee, it must have been furious. Man.

1107
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 2: Well, I'm furious with CJ McCollum because he clearly wanted

1108
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: to shoot it off for the buzzer.

1109
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: He wanted to protect his steel. Gou absolutely absolutely did.

1110
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 3: They will see that.

1111
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 4: And how did he time that because he's looking up there.

1112
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: He's looking up there, and you see he just waits

1113
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: the releases until it goes off and then he releases.

1114
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: Like CJ, come on, man, yeah, just just put it out.

1115
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 2: I mean, either don't shoot it at all because you're

1116
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 2: not gonna win, or just shoot it and see it,

1117
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 2: you know, just to see if you can.

1118
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 3: Had your stats a little bit.

1119
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 5: And he was balling in the fourth quarter too, you

1120
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 5: knew it was going in. Just shoot it, man, know

1121
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 5: how long his fingers were.

1122
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,479
Speaker 1: This one's controversial too, because I shared it with Tasks.

1123
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't Task, you get this win.

1124
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: The Associated Press still has the score, like like they

1125
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: counted it. Somebody press send on it, like I just counted.

1126
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: Who cares? Well? We care damn it.

1127
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because at first it didn't go up on

1128
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 4: the little score bug in the bottom corner, and then

1129
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 4: it did and it was one twenty and I guess

1130
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 4: that's when ap hit publish on their reports. And then

1131
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 4: it retracted back to one twenty two and I had

1132
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 4: to go back. I went back and it frame by

1133
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 4: framed it a little pause, and uh, you know, it's

1134
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 4: kind of hard to tell. It's a little blurry. It

1135
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: looks looks like my teenage years the TV was a

1136
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 4: little blurry, but it was on the the fingertips, just

1137
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: the finger nail. I don't think he's trimmed them like

1138
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 4: that was real close. They don't have a manicurist in

1139
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 4: the bubble, oh there's yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

1140
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 4: They do, but uh yeah, maybe maybe they didn't show.

1141
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 4: I haven't read a story on a manicurist, and I've

1142
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 4: read stories about barbers. You guys read any stories about pedicurists.

1143
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no, they're not as Yeah, so that's a

1144
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: win for test. Test is five and five. Trey goes

1145
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: to five and five. I go to five and five

1146
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: with the loss, and Lee you're in last place now

1147
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: four and six don't worry though, we got like what

1148
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: we got like five nights still the bubble seating games.

1149
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: I think something like that five or six actually, So

1150
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: tonight Sunday, a lot of games on task. What's our game?

1151
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, a heavy seven game schedule. I'm going with a

1152
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 4: big one. We've sort of hinted at Portland back on

1153
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 4: the floor after that heartbreaker, and they're playing the Philadelphia

1154
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,759
Speaker 4: seventy six ers, so not an easy game, but the

1155
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: Blazers are favorite bright two and a half.

1156
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a tough one. So tough. I mean, like

1157
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: your gut says Blazers. You know, you're like you're gonna

1158
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: like we're gonna get Dame going for forty plus. The

1159
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: Sixers have been uninspiring. You know, Nurk can maybe hold

1160
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: his own versus Embeid, but there's something deep down insign

1161
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: of me that's like, I don't know, I don't know

1162
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: if they do cover that.

1163
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,399
Speaker 4: You want the Suns. You want the Suns deep down,

1164
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 4: so you want.

1165
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 1: To Yeah, maybe I want those Bubble Boys, the Valley

1166
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: Boys and somebody else go. I don't know, I'm torn.

1167
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 3: I'll take that. The Portland triblizes. I just think little

1168
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 3: it knows. It's like almost doing what I like. I

1169
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 3: agree it is do or die.

1170
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 5: But anytime you think you've got the Philadelphia seventy six

1171
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 5: ers figured out, flip it on them. I can't believe

1172
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 5: they're actually getting points. I understand that Simmons is out,

1173
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 5: but uh, Portland back to back. They look tired at

1174
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 5: the end of this one. They're playing twenty four hours later,

1175
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 5: we'll see give me sixers.

1176
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: You've taken the sixers. Wow, wow wow? Uh task worry.

1177
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: What's your feel?

1178
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 4: Yeah? I guess that's why they're getting points. It's because

1179
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 4: Portland's playing in a back to back. People like betting

1180
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 4: on that, and people don't know that they're not playing,

1181
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 4: you know, uninspiring. I think because they are are getting

1182
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 4: w's even though it is uninspiring. So I'm going with Portland.

1183
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 4: I think Nurk. I haven't looked at this historical matchup,

1184
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 4: but seems like he'd be a pretty good matchup for joelanb.

1185
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 4: But he's gonna be guessed. This is his first back

1186
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 4: to back in years because he didn't play all this year.

1187
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 4: Maybe he sits this one out. Just kidding. He's gonna play,

1188
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 4: but they will be tired, I think.

1189
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: All right, so you're taking the Blazers. Blazers are favored

1190
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: by two and a half, so they got it by three. Okay,

1191
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm going Blazers too, but if they lose, I'm definitely

1192
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: jumping on Instagram and fire and shots at Lillard. Okay,

1193
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm making that very clear, but I'm betting on Dame

1194
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: time for this one. We got three less taking the Blazers,

1195
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: just Tray taking the Sixers to cover. All right, that's

1196
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,959
Speaker 1: it for us tonight. JD. How's that Guinness going down?

1197
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 4: Smooth, going down, real smooth?

Speaker 1: Oh nice, JD? On a Saturday, JD, I feel like

00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,120

Speaker 1: be on our eleventh straight night. Is that gonna beat
