Speaker 3: you haven't already, did you.

31
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Guys fire that one up over the weekend?

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I can assumed it.

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: Yes, good, good, good time, Thank you, thank you. Well,

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: it's so easy to talk to him. We got lots

35
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: of winners and losers of the NBA weekend. Let's do

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: a couple of rounds of winners task, get it started.

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: Who you got your eye on?

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: Shay Gilgess Alexander Because whenever an OKAYSE player does a

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: postgame interview, he's on the court, but his whole team

40
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: is around, right, most of his team is around him.

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: And when Shae was asked the first question, how do

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: you stay so consistent? He said, didn't take more than

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: a second to say, my whole life is consistent, and

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: his teammates went crazy. I loved watching you know, that

45
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: meme where that kid falls into all of his buddies

46
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: because he's just overwhelmed. That's what happened to jab. Jalen

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: Williams just kind of lost it. He just liked it

48
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: so much. As Shae got into why he's so consistent,

49
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: he said, everything I eat, the way I sleep, my

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: recovery jail come on, sounds like a boring life. Yeah,

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: because the way he eats. Yeah, man, No, I was

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: a good answer. Man, that was a good answer. He

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: had Jalen Jaylen Williams touching each of his fingers, giving

54
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: you every single reason why what? And he jumped in

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: there he said, what about your workouts? That kind of thing?

56
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 2: Is that? Is that exciting enough workouts?

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: No?

58
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: But maybe that's why they got two guys named Jalen Williams.

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: He wants everybody to have the same name.

60
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm consistent with the teammates names. Look these two.

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: I think OKAC has got the best postgame interview team

62
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: in the history of the national basketball So who does

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: it better?

64
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: It was better I do enjoin it.

65
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: I think it's a good it's a good bit for

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: the team where whoever gets the walkoff interview that everybody

67
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: else comes in and sort of hypes up the guy.

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of it as well. It's a great

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: top five.

70
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 5: I would also throw in the Miami heat photo bomb

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: era and that was legendary run.

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: It was, it was, And that's the reminder because they

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: beat Miami that night when Shay Gills is Alexander drop thirty,

74
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: So you can easily start to think about the heatles

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: when they used to just jump into each interview, but

76
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: really it was just like one person like Chris Bosha,

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: does you know the weird Ostrich thing? And that was funny,

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: But they're not as into it. They're not as much

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: of a team. This is a team. This is a

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: super young team, and they feel good. They feel so

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: good that they're all standing there as a team, as

82
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: a squad. So, yeah, can this team do what Miami didn't,

83
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: you know, go win a couple of championships? Well maybe

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: it's a little too early at this point, but it

85
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: starts to feel that they love each other so much.

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: And the question that Nick Galla was basically asking, why

87
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: are you so consistent? Because it was his forty seventh

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: game where he scored thirty more where he scored thirty

89
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: or more points this season. That's fricking a lot. That

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: ties their franchise record. Kevin Durant's done it twice, and

91
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: he's going to pass Kevin Durant. He's going to become

92
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: the all time leading franchise guy to have thirty or

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: more points. It's pretty fricking phenomenal when you think about

94
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: a guy who led the league in scoring four times.

95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: He did that twice with Okay see where he scored

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: thirty or more forty seven times. So fantastic, fantastic for Shay.

97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 2: That's all I want to talk about was the postgame interview.

98
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: He got to eat sleeper covery. I guess what would

99
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: have made it more of fun. He could probably talk

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: about his Skims commercials.

101
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Which I don't like inst with my skims. I don't

102
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: like the same pair every day. Yeah, I like those

103
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: sexy commercials.

104
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks great. He's gone under her on

105
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: and nothing on top. The muscles are very evident. Yeah

106
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: sure they look good. I mean, what can you say

107
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: other than these are my skims.

108
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

109
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: Friday, they beat the Heat by seven and then just

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: waxed the Grizzlies there on Sunday.

111
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: That's their third straight.

112
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: Win, and okay, see back into the number one spot

113
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference. With the Wolves losing a few games,

114
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: Denver actually now up to second and you're right now.

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: We just it's very exciting because we get to see

116
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: what's this team gonna look like in the postseason. They're

117
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: a hell of a unit. They play hard, they're well coached.

118
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: They'll probably win Coach of the Year. You got a superstar,

119
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: you got all these complimentary pieces, guys that are incredible

120
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 3: in the second secondary role and tertiary role in JDub

121
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: and Chet and then all these other guys and guys

122
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: that get hot from three and play a little defense.

123
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: It's all the ingredients are there. This is the most

124
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: exciting thing, but changes a little bit in the playoffs

125
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: where it has caught some teams by surprise, like what

126
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: happens when it's one to one in a series and

127
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 3: sort of feels like a must win Game three. I

128
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: have faith in them to go win a series or two,

129
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: but we're gonna find out soon in about a month

130
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: and a month and change.

131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just such an interesting thing because they check

132
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 5: like every single box you would think of for a contender.

133
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: They're top five on both sides of the ball.

134
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: Phil Jackson said back in the day, if you get

135
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: to forty wins before twenty losses, you're a true contender.

136
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: They're forty five and nineteen right now. But another thing

137
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 5: you factor him with contenders is having won a playoff

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: series before, and they haven't done it yet.

139
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: In your right skeets, what's going to.

140
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: Happen when they figure out maybe one of their guys

141
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 5: can't stay on the court in the playoffs. What happens

142
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 5: when chet Holmgren picks up three hot fouls in the

143
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: first half of a pivot game five?

144
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: We will see.

145
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 5: But as of now, they're so consistent that they got

146
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 5: to be considered one of the premier title contenders right now.

147
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 5: It's just going to be so interesting to see how

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: they deal with the adversity of the playoffs.

149
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: And any other thoughts here one, no, yeah, the other

150
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: benefit that they have is Carol Anthony Town's injury. Was

151
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team that's close to them, But

152
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: it was interesting to hear on the broadcast Timberwolves Lakers yesterday.

153
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: George Sedano came up and just was doing his pregame

154
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: thing and basically said that Chris Finch told them just

155
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: after Karl Anthony town surgery that he should be back

156
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. That's the way they're thinking about things.

157
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: That's the optimism. That's an interesting thing to say for

158
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: a coach, you know, right after a surgery. It's that optimistic.

159
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: That's a long time from now, so before he's even evaluated.

160
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: So it's a good sign, a good sign for the

161
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: Minnesota Timberwolves.

162
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: All right, So SGA, mister confidence there consistent as well.

163
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: I guess he's confidence as well.

164
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to you.

165
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 5: Would you consider him mister a liable as well? Remember

166
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 5: that drama from the Kelly days. Ooh they called him

167
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 5: mister unreliable on the front of the Oklahoma and then

168
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 5: he was gone suddenly.

169
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: So what happens if he has a bad game in

170
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs, he's mister inconsistent.

171
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Don't do it? Oh, don't don't do it? Thunder or

172
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: ok see beat writers, editors. So SGA gets a started.

173
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: Let's go to you, Trey, who.

174
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: Got I got the New Orleans Pelicans hottest team in

175
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: the league right now? Four wins, not a very long

176
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 5: win streak, but it's there. They're eleven and four in

177
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 5: their last fifteen games. Weird win on Friday against the

178
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 5: seventy six Ers, got up by thirty five. It was

179
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 5: fifty five to twenty with four minutes left in the

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: second quarter. Twenty points the seventy six ers have. They

181
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 5: have basically nobody playing right now. Sixers fans were booing

182
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: him off the court, but the Sixers rallied and the

183
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 5: fourth carter cut the lead to five under a minute

184
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 5: to play.

185
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: Herb Jones hits a three from the corner. It's Joe version.

186
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: Had a great game in this one, twenty three points,

187
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 5: twelve rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocks. I

188
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: thought he was flying around on the DEFENSI event, he

189
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 5: looks really good right now. And then on Sunday got

190
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: another banged up team in the Hawks, and they took

191
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: it to him, controlling the game the entire time. I

192
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: don't think they ever trailed by or ever led by

193
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: fewer than ten points. In the second half of this game,

194
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 5: Zion had another good game twenty seven points, six rebounds,

195
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 5: seven assists, two blocks. His numbers for the entirety of

196
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: the season don't look all that overwhelming, nor do Brandon Ingram,

197
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 5: but they're both playing such good team basketball. They kind

198
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 5: of are playing similar roles where they play point forward

199
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: and Zion you got to give him some credit for

200
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 5: completely fitting into this team. He talked about it early

201
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 5: in the season and people thought it was a bad thing.

202
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: He's like, I'm just trying to do the right thing,

203
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 5: trying to play the right way he is. He gets

204
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 5: off the ball early. Sometimes it'll come back, sometimes it doesn't.

205
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: A lot of times it ends up in the hands

206
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: of Trey Murphy, the third, who finished with twenty eight points,

207
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 5: seven rebounds, and another six threes in the win against

208
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 5: the Hawks. He's had twenty eight or more and three

209
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 5: of his last four games playing really really well.

210
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: He's six foot ten, He's a great athlete.

211
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 5: He's running, catching lobs from Zion and then giving the

212
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: space that the Pelicans need on that end the court

213
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: as well. Herb Jones is on another level right now.

214
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 5: Shooting the ball really well and of course bringing it defensively.

215
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: Helped held de Jontay Murray to seven of twenty field

216
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: goals in the win on Sunday. Murray was playing in

217
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 5: a crowd the entire night. But you got to give

218
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 5: some credit to Naji Marshall, Trey Murphy the Third, and

219
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 5: Zion as well. I thought did a good job when

220
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 5: he was switched out on de Jontay Murray. So four

221
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 5: straight wins for the Pelicans. The last three came on

222
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 5: a road trip. They had a twenty point lead in

223
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 5: the first half of all three of those games. Their

224
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: eighth in offense, their sixth in defense, their fourth and

225
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: net rating. This is like the healthiest the Pelicans have

226
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 5: been in four seasons. Probably Dyson Daniels out for the year,

227
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 5: everybody else is playing right now. But it's also very

228
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: similar to the Thunder, where you're like, is this team

229
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: realistically a playoff contender? They check a lot of boxes,

230
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: but we've seen Zion had a bad ist game that's

231
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 5: kind of been a stain on his season that people

232
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 5: refer to. Of course, their second net rating since that loss,

233
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 5: all wake up call for them if you will. I've

234
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: been very impressed with the Pelicans and they look great

235
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 5: this weekend.

236
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: I saw some people in the stream team before we

237
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: went live wondering could Trey Murphy the third be named

238
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: Player of the Week for this week. I don't think so.

239
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: He had two monster games. He had that one game

240
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: against the Raptors where he hit ten threes, had thirty

241
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: four points. Then you said the one there TK over

242
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: the weekend twenty eight points where he hit six more threes.

243
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: He has sort of one quiet game in that win

244
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: against Philadelphia, but on the week twenty four points per game,

245
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: twenty four points per game off the bench. In all

246
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: three of those, it's probably going to go to like

247
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: an SGA or someone like that, or a Luka or

248
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: something with the monster numbers. But maybe an inconsideration for

249
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: Tray murphifth third, who's obviously playing unreal right now where

250
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: he's like he feels like he can slot him in

251
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: for four or five six threes a game, giving you

252
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: a little defense who had his height, and everybody playing well,

253
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: it's like it's another team, Like, you know, we made

254
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: the comparison to the guy that's got the no no

255
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 3: going It's like when it's going good, just sort of

256
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 3: don't look at them, don't talk about them, because unfortunately

257
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 3: always someone gets injured with the Pelicans. But right now, Tass,

258
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if you agree with Trey like they

259
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 3: look legit like there's a team like right now, the

260
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 3: way they're playing, you would expect to win a playoff series.

261
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's other thing to disagree about. They look awesome.

262
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 2: They have been programmed by Willie Green to just have

263
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: sort of Zion, Brandon Ingram and CG. Mccollam go through them,

264
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: but then have Herb Jones beside them to play defense

265
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: against somebody. And he was awesome against de Jontay Murray

266
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: against the Hawks. He blocked him twice in that first quarter.

267
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: Just you go get the best perimeter player on the

268
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: other side, Just just go get them. And so I

269
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: think they have a nice just a nice roster period.

270
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: I mean Trey Murvin come off the bench and just

271
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: hit shots. So yeah, it's programmed very very well. This

272
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: team does fight hard in the playoffs we've seen, but

273
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: it hasn't been that many times, and it hasn't been

274
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 2: with Zion. I mean they went and fought Phoenix a

275
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, so we'll see what they can do. Obviously,

276
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: they got to be healthy and that's what it comes

277
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: out to. So yeah, the West is going to be tough,

278
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: extremely tough. We're talking about a team here that's sort

279
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: of solidified themselves as the fifth best team right now.

280
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: Their fifth best and standings. But man, you can go six, seven, eight, nine.

281
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: They're all going to be tough.

282
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

283
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 5: I gotta also get a quick tip of the cap

284
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: here to our guy vit Crachie had an incredible highlight

285
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: in this one.

286
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: He almost lost the ball.

287
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 5: Out on the perimeter, somehow dribbles it behind his back,

288
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: then just goes behind the back for no reason before

289
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 5: dropping off a wrap around past the Clint Capella. It

290
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 5: was looking like the Gateway Center Arena playing for.

291
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: The Hocks getting an opportunity.

292
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: All right, I will go with the Eastern Conference standings

293
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: four through eight for a winner of the weekend. Maybe

294
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: not because of the games they played. I'm specifically talking

295
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: about the seventy six Ers and the Knicks on Sunday

296
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 3: playing a game that ended seventy nine to seventy three.

297
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: There you go, Adam Silver, there's your defense. Lowest points

298
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: total in the NBA this year. Sixers win seventy nine

299
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 3: seventy three. New York shot thirty two and a half

300
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: percent from the field, even worse from deep hell. A

301
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: hell of a game when it cames to building houses

302
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: with bricks. But Sixers got done, and it's important here.

303
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: We're going to show you the standing's in second because

304
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 3: we also then had Halliburton Siakam. They scored twenty each.

305
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: Pacers beat the Magic one eleven ninety seven that pulled

306
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 3: them within a game of Orlando in the Eastern Conference standings.

307
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 3: I think this was like the third or fourth time

308
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: this year for Indiana that I saw TJ McConnell come

309
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: in and sort of change the game. He did it

310
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: in this one too. Just the energy attacking really helped

311
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: the Pacers, and then everybody started contributing. But those results

312
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: paired with the weird Heat loss that I'll get to

313
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: in a little bit. Look at the logjam here in

314
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference standings. I know we sort of keep

315
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: showing this here on the show, but the Knicks still

316
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 3: in fourth and they are only two games clear of

317
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: the Heat in eighth. I love that these teams are

318
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: playing for so much. They're playing for home court advantage,

319
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: They're playing just to be in the playoffs, playing to

320
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: obviously have home court if you're in the play in.

321
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking Nicks, Magic, Sixers, Pacers, and Heat. This is

322
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: the NBA Sikos version of March Madness. Somebody ELSEO called

323
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: it March midness because's fair with all the injuries right

324
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: now to a lot of these teams. But those two

325
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: results there, Pacers being the Magic and then Sixers beating

326
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: the Knicks. Any matchups between teams four through eight right

327
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: now are going to be huge in terms of jockeying position.

328
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 5: What's going on with Julius Randall and Joel Embiid would

329
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 5: be my main question. Randall, it still seems like he

330
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: could maybe have surgery on his shoulder, the lack of

331
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: updates we've been hearing. I know he was traveling with

332
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 5: the team, he had started doing some basketball stuff, but

333
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 5: still waiting to.

334
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: Hear on that.

335
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: And then the Embiid obviously is a huge question because yeah,

336
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 5: the Sixers did get a win and they absolutely needed one.

337
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: They had been struggling big time since he went out

338
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 5: and still unknown what his status is going to be.

339
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Knicks, by the way, play the Sixers again

340
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: on Tuesday night, and then they don't play one of

341
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: those other teams that they are fighting position for until

342
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: April against Miami. The Magic played just the Sixers on

343
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: April twelfth. Again, I'm looking at the schedule for these

344
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: teams versus these other teams that they're jockeying for the

345
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: magic of an eight game homestand coming up still though

346
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: eight game I was like, what, so that's good for them? Yeah, nuts, right,

347
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: Sixers play the Knicks and the magic, of course, but

348
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: they have two left versus Miami, So the Sixers actually

349
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: have the most games left against some of these teams.

350
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: Pacers host just the Heat on April seventh, and that

351
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: leaves Miami playing obviously Philly twice and Indy once. So

352
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: not a ton of games left between a bunch of

353
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: these squads. I have no idea those tasks. I can't

354
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: even guess how it will shake out here.

355
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: Nobody knows thruugh.

356
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: Right when they're only separated by two games in.

357
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 2: The last column. Yeah, it has become extremely tight. It

358
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: looked like it was pretty easy to tell who's going

359
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: to be there earlier on in the season. But yeah,

360
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: it's gotten very cloggy. And then you get a game

361
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: like that where two games two teams score under eighty points,

362
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: which just doesn't happen in the NBA ever. Now, it

363
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: was like six years ago the last time that two

364
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: teams scored less than eighty points.

365
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: That's it's hard to do seventy nine seventy three. Though,

366
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: that's like we've gotten used to seeing that as a

367
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 3: halftime score. We probably have seen that a couple of

368
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: times this year, yeah, with some of the squads, but

369
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 3: that was the entire game. Six have pulled it out though,

370
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: and they needed it. Let's do another round tass winner.

371
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are playing really well. Obviously Appera and

372
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: Shngoon against the Sacramento Kings is horrendous. We'll get to that.

373
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: That injury that was just in the final minute, because

374
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: before that, the first forty seven minutes of that game.

375
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: The least or sorry, the most recent run of the

376
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: Houston Rockets has been awesome. They've won four or five games,

377
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: beat the Phoenix Suns. Then it took in this weekend.

378
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: They went and got Portland no problem. They handled it

379
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: extremely well. It was just fun to watch this team

380
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: that is so athletic. Even though this team is now

381
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: eleventh in the Western Conference, doesn't look like they can

382
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: even sniff the play in. We're just fun to friggin

383
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: watch Cam Witmore coming off the bench and Jalen Green

384
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: obviously in the starting lineup. As Tyler lou said this

385
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: past week, It's like t Mac and Vince Carter when

386
00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: they got to Toronto. Young but extremely athletic. They're just

387
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: buds Friday, They're really close together and it was fun

388
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: on Friday. Shangun was feeding his man Jalen Green, and

389
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: it obviously turned in the third quarter when Jalen Green

390
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: just detonated that monstrous dunk that we'll get to as well.

391
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: That was fun. And then against the Sacramento Kings, same

392
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: thing happened in the second quarter. Things turned around when

393
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: Cam Wentmore came off the bench. He's a freaking kid.

394
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: He's nineteen years old. He picked twentieth in this past draft,

395
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 2: but him in this calendar year is when he started

396
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: to really play for the Houston Rockets. Came off the

397
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: bench him, I'm and Thompson. They just look so good,

398
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: so athletic to combine with Jalen Green, they're fun to

399
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: freaking watch. And second quarter, yeah, they just came out

400
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: and turned this game and they were just dominating the

401
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings the entire game, all the way up until

402
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: that final minute. So it just feels good, I think

403
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: for the Houston Rockets because they're playing hard defensively. That's

404
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: what Imo Judoka is just asking them for and even

405
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: though Jalen Green is an up and down type of guy,

406
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 2: it's an interesting thing and it's an interesting thing to

407
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: compare them to Team Mac and Vince Carter. So maybe

408
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: they'll only play two years together like those two guys

409
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: did because somebody's going to probably move on.

410
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: It's too good that you're saying that, Oh yeah, really,

411
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 5: team made there they are. It's Carter right next year, Yes,

412
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 5: as you're doing it. But man, their top ten of

413
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: defense for the entire year, and that's exactly what the

414
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 5: What the Rockets were looking for this season was some

415
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 5: sort of an identity Under Steven Silas, they were basically

416
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: a pickup basketball team. They brought in all these defensive

417
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 5: minded veterans and Brooks and Van Vleet and most importantly

418
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: imy Udoka as a coach because they needed to have

419
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 5: something to fall back on, and they actually have a defense.

420
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 5: It's similar when the seventy six ers were in the

421
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 5: Process era. At least they had a defense that they

422
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 5: would give effort on. The Rockets have that now and

423
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 5: they're able to scrape out some wins here. It's too

424
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 5: bad they're not really going to be able to challenge

425
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 5: for a play in tournament spot. Here they're four and

426
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: a half out of the tenth seed, and both the

427
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: Warriors and Lakers have been playing their best basketball this season.

428
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 5: But they got a defense and they absolutely got a

429
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 5: steal in Cam Witmore.

430
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, not technically out, obviously a sniff in the plan.

431
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they wish they were in the Eastern Conference

432
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: right now, they would be the tenth seed. You know,

433
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: I think the Hawks have the exact same record in

434
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: the East. But it's cool to see them still playing

435
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 3: hard here, you know, despite maybe falling a little out

436
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: of the race with the Lakers and Warriors getting things

437
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: together here after the All Star break.

438
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: But they're fun.

439
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: Team and Trey's right, this was you can tell this look,

440
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 3: this was the game plan. No, I'm sure Udoka's like, no,

441
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: the game plan was to be five hundred to be

442
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. But you at least are making the

443
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 3: right steps to that, and it's it's great to see,

444
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 3: you know, Jaalen Green having a couple of great games

445
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: and huge highlights, just that that youth where you get

446
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: excited if you're a Rockets fan, where you're like, oh,

447
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: you're you're pumped about maybe I don't know, renewing your

448
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: season tickets or obviously just getting to go and watch

449
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: games or have them on League Pass.

450
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: That's good.

451
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: That's a good sign for a franchise that was really

452
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: bad for a couple of years there, so I sort

453
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: of went out of the radar how garbage they were with,

454
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: you know, flirting with twenty wins half the time, learn with.

455
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 5: Twenty wins and all last season it was like a

456
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 5: team would come in and play the Rockets and afterwards

457
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 5: be like that team.

458
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: Is a disaster right now, right right? Yeah, that's why

459
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 2: they bring in those vests, ya, but also vets that

460
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 2: are kind of un short term deals some of them anyways,

461
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: like Fred van Vlid only two years guaranteed because they're

462
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: thinking about who they got in Jalen Green, obviously, Cam

463
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: Whitmore as a kid I'm and Thompson. Kim Wimer just

464
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: kept slipping to them, kept slipping to them. It was

465
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: interesting because obviously he could have gone five for a while,

466
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: but he kept slipping, kept falling down. So number twenty,

467
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 2: things are looking very very good for the Houston Rockets,

468
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 2: even though yeah, again playing ain't gonna happen unless they

469
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: were in the Eastern Conference. They ain't. They ain't doing it.

470
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: They just can't. Trey.

471
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: Who else do you have for a winner of the weekend?

472
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 5: The Lakers in general, Yeah, Deadline d Lo in specific, Wow,

473
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 5: two and oh. Weekend for the Lakers started Friday against Milwaukee.

474
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 5: Lebron was resting his ankle, joking with Jeanie and Deadline

475
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: d Lo came through season high forty four points, six rebounds,

476
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 5: nine assists, had twenty one points in fourth quarter, career

477
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: high nine threes. The two man game with Anthony Davis

478
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 5: looked really nice. There was a possession in the middle

479
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 5: of the fourth quarter. I guess it was out on

480
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: the right wing. Davis comes up in screens, de Lo

481
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 5: goes all the way down to the free throw line,

482
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 5: comes back out to the left wing, and they just

483
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: run through it again and he gets into a mid

484
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: range jumper there.

485
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: Down six.

486
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 5: The Lakers were with a minute and forty eight seconds left,

487
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 5: and they just kept getting good looks and good threes.

488
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves found ruy hot Chamura for a three, then

489
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 5: Pat Conatan scored a layup. Then Reeves draws two, gets

490
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 5: it to Davis who kicks it to D'angela Russell for

491
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 5: another three didn't. Spencer Dinwittie gets a nice stop on

492
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 5: the other end on Giannis, the Bucks or the Lakers

493
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 5: win a challenge. On the review, Giannis makes an incredible shot,

494
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 5: then Dangela Russell gets a flip and one off a drive.

495
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: Then he hits a really deep floater with Dame Lillard

496
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 5: on his back to give LA a one point lead,

497
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 5: and then Spencer Dinwitty defense Dinwitty walks Dame Lillard on

498
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 5: the step back jumper. Epic quote from D'Angelo Russell after

499
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 5: the game. He told reporters on the floor, I've always

500
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 5: felt like I was capable of doing things. Getting a

501
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 5: hot makes it a little more exciting. Off the floor, obviously,

502
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 5: you all know what I've been through. Public humiliation has

503
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 5: done nothing but mold me into the killer that you

504
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: all see today. I never lack confidence. I never fear confrontation.

505
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: I want all the smoke. I just feel confident in

506
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 5: what I bring to the basketball game. So whatever room

507
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 5: I walk in, I'm confident.

508
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: Jeez.

509
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: I've been in an elevator with D'Angelo Russell and he

510
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 5: was exuding confident.

511
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: He touched those buttons with confidence. Round floor. Let's get

512
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: out of here. I mean we were all leaving, so

513
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: we all knew where we were going.

514
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: That's interview I'd rather have share I've seen. Yeah, that

515
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: interview was fine. He was chilling, chill.

516
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 5: Right now, helf right now, and he's playing incredibly well.

517
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 5: Public humiliation has done nothing but mold me into the

518
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 5: killer that you all see today. He's brought up public

519
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 5: humiliation a bunch of times already this season.

520
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: Right now, he's alluding to who's a Nick Young.

521
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 5: I think he's referring to trade talks for season after

522
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 5: season after season. That's what he said before was being included.

523
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 5: But I mean maybe the Nick Young as well. That's

524
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 5: way exactly help bold Man.

525
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: Remember Iggy Azalea?

526
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, where's she? I don't know, I do not know.

527
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: I also give him a lot of credit here to

528
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves. He had a steal at the end of

529
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 5: the third quarter where Giannis was basically trying to walk

530
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: the dog. There's like two seconds left, the ball just bouncing, bouncing, bouncing.

531
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: Reeves runs up, gets the ball, finishes a layup right

532
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 5: at the rim. They won by one point. That was

533
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 5: a huge play in this game. Sunday, another win for

534
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 5: the Lakers. They beat Minnesota no Carl Anthony Towns, no

535
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert, so Anthony Davis.

536
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: Where Anthony Davis ran wild.

537
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 5: He came in questionable but finished with twenty five points

538
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 5: twenty seven rebounds. That's a lot of roast beef. He

539
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 5: had twenty one rebounds in the second half. Also had

540
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 5: five assists, seven steals, three blocks, nearly a beefy five

541
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 5: by five. He had the third block with nine minutes

542
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 5: left in the third quarter.

543
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: It was it could have gone for a five by five,

544
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: but I.

545
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 5: Don't think nas Reed and Luca Garza really are going

546
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 5: to be able to hold down Anthony Davis. It was

547
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 5: a layup line for the Lakers. I thought in this one.

548
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 5: They went fifty eight percent from two. Ad had a

549
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 5: ton of layups and dunks. Lebron had a ton of

550
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 5: layups and dunks, and Jackson Hayes did as well. Lakers

551
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 5: are fifteen and eight since Ruy Hachimura has been starting.

552
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: Now. I know what you're thinking.

553
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: Did they go to the Western Conference Finals starting Ruey

554
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 5: Hatchamura last season?

555
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, yes they did. Could they have started in

556
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: this entire season. They could have, but did they know?

557
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: But they are now and it seems to be working.

558
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: Ham is playing chess out there. Why play him early? Yeah,

559
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 3: to play him later in surprise all you teams. But yeah,

560
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: thirty six and thirty the Lakers are one game back

561
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: of the Mavericks, who you know, did their part as

562
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: well over the weekend, win in some games, but they're

563
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: within striking distance tasks of not only the MAVs, the Kings,

564
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 3: even the Suns. You know, Pelicans are four games up

565
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: on them. But Delo and Ad doing the heavy lifting

566
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: for the Lakers over the weekend.

567
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun watching Austin Reeves and Dangel Russell, to

568
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: be honest, they just love each other. So when Austin

569
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: Reeves does a little dancy dance on the court with

570
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: his behind the back, then Dangela Russell will do a

571
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 2: little dancy dance on the sideline if he's on the bench.

572
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: I don't know who was better, Austin reeves beautiful move

573
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: behind the back or Dangel Russell's dance in those large pants.

574
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean they warm up pants. But anyway, they were cool, awesome,

575
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: That was fun. Good, Just to qualify man.

576
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 5: I thought that the interview was good for shake yalt

577
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 5: to Alexander, But living your life eating the same food

578
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 5: every day is.

579
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: Boring to me. You got to mix it up. Variety

580
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: is the spice of light.

581
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, you wouldn't. You wouldn't think he would do that.

582
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 3: Maybe with his diet when you see his fashion choice.

583
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 5: Exactly, Yeah, definitely, Maybe that's it. That's his mode of expression.

584
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 5: I suppose you think so, it's his vice. We can

585
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 5: we can carry guys. That's how much sickos we are

586
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 5: arguing over who has the better post game quotes.

587
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that everybody who does postgame just does

588
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: boring interviews. That's what any genuinely use of them wins.

589
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, I would like to give a winner

590
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: of the weekend to me, to this guy, Yeah, Jay

591
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 3: Skeen's winner of the weekend. Few reasons why. First off,

592
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 3: I just want to say I helped. I'm an assistant coach,

593
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: so I just helped the under eight YMCA basketball team

594
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 3: to their third consecutive championship over the weekend. Shout out

595
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 3: to my guy Connor, smallest guy on the team, locked

596
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 3: down the other best player and then he hit a

597
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: game winning jumper with like thirty seconds to go. We

598
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: won by two, back and forth affair team won three

599
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: in a row where like they had them replicating the

600
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan photo with.

601
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: The hat on the three. It was awesome.

602
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: So shout out to my team there at the at

603
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: the YMCA. Also Winter of the weekend again myself because

604
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: we're called no dunks, but you know it's ironic. We

605
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: actually love dunks and you already alluded to a task

606
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 3: Jalen Green with one of the best dunks of the

607
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: season on the fast break, just cocking it back and

608
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: putting Simon's on the a poster in transition.

609
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: Dirty duck, dirty down. Oh my god.

610
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: Nice.

611
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: That was nice for a really good game there from

612
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: Jalen Green. But the real reason is my Washington Wizards

613
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: doing the unthinkable, coming back from the dead winning two

614
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: games over the weekend. That's right, on Friday, the Wizard

615
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: snapped a sixteen game losing streak with the one to

616
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 3: twelve one hundred victory over Trey Kirby's Hornets. Now he's

617
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 3: fine because they're a lot better than the Pistons and Wizards.

618
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: But man, Washington shot sixteen to twenty in the fourth

619
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: quarter to get this w and snap the losing streak.

620
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: On Sunday, they weren't done. The Wizards Kuzma. He goes

621
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 3: for thirty two points as they beat the Heat one.

622
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: Ten, one oh eight.

623
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: Very bad weekend from Miami. Duncan Robinson Jimmy Butler both

624
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: had looks at game winning threes and they both missed, obviously,

625
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: So the Wizards hold on. They were up sort of

626
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: a decent amount late. He came storm and back, but

627
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: they couldn't hit that final one. So huge nut dust

628
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: Bowl implications over the weekend. Trey' hornets. Like I said,

629
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: sixteen and forty eight, All right, you're you're okay my man?

630
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeahah, that's right.

631
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: But man, I have now taken the lead back from

632
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: tasks My Wizards eleven and fifty three, tass Is Pistons

633
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: ten and fifty three. So the Zards have played one

634
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: more game. We have a big game.

635
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: I was looking at schedule. We got to jump on playback.

636
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: I think for it.

637
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: Friday, March twenty ninth, it's Pistons Wizards. Washington leads the

638
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: season series two to one. What are we doing in

639
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 3: the event of a tie if the Wizards and Pistons.

640
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: Both have fourteen wins or thirteen wins? Are we both

641
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: doing both?

642
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Eating dust?

643
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: The nut dust? Okay, I just wanted to make sure

644
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: that was the rule.

645
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: Okay, but so.

646
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Big game on March twenty ninth. But way to go

647
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: those zards.

648
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 3: I thought I was toast and suddenly I'm still in it.

649
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 3: I'm still in this thing. Yeah, man, crazy wins. I

650
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: can't believe they went to in a row.

651
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe they beat the Heat. I wonder what

652
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: the hornet's Okay, sure, but that's a big win beating

653
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: the Heat on the road.

654
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 5: I wonder what the longest win streak is after a

655
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 5: ten plus game losing streak.

656
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: Wow? Probably three games?

657
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: Like, I mean, teams that lose ten plus usually aren't

658
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 5: very good. But still two wins after sixteen losses. That's

659
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 5: a huge man.

660
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so sorry, I just I'd like to see

661
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: my my under eight YMC basketball team take on the Wizards.

662
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: I feel like that should happen next weekend, see who

663
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: the better team.

664
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: Sorry to interrupted, Jimmy Butler just basically sat at the game. Yeah,

665
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: we stunk. It was one of those them heates aren't

666
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: good enough sometimes occasionally because they saw the Washington Wizards

667
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 2: on the other side. He said, we played their game

668
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: more than we played ours. Yeah, and up and down

669
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 2: pickup game, and they're good at that. Oh oh, that's

670
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: a direct shot at that team that just wants to

671
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: play up and down while we played defense you did.

672
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a huge, huge race here. We are the

673
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: only people on the play in it, you know, invested

674
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: into the Wizards and Pistons and to some extent, Hornets results.

675
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Actually, I feel like we need to do this again

676
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: next year. It is kind of nice.

677
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: Actually, other ways, you don't talk about these teams law,

678
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: you sort of forget about them. But having a little

679
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: something on the line, as weird as it is what

680
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 3: we're doing on the line, I like it. So let's

681
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: do it again. If you almost have to wait like

682
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: a month into the season, figure out who the really

683
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: crappy teams are, and then we we pick.

684
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: Our champions, choose your tribute. Yes, that's right.

685
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 5: We got to start getting some nuts, like to accumulate

686
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 5: the dust.

687
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: Oh, this is true. We got to select our nut bags.

688
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: Yea extracted.

689
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: I took down some pistachios last night. Not a lot

690
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: of not a lot of dust from pistachios. Though no

691
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: peanuts is the way to go. That bag is peanuts.

692
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: Peanuts can get dusty.

693
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: I was thinking.

694
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: Like anything that is heavily spiced a lot, a lot

695
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: of remnants after like the Trader Joe's everything, but the bagel.

696
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Bag of nuts.

697
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: Coughing going on, Yeah, has to ultimately do the cinnamon style. Okay,

698
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: so there's our weekend winners. Obviously a lot of options

699
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: still out there. Tell us on the stream team, let

707
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: winner of the weekend. But we're getting very close to

708
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: one hundred k, so help us out. Tell a friend

709
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: about the show. Podcast listeners leave us a five star

710
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: rating and review. I keep seeing this comment a couple

711
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 3: times here in the stream team. Oh I love this time.

712
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: Keep the show at this time, And I was like, really, confused.

713
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, what are you talking about? Start at the

714
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: same time we always start at and always five minutes late.

715
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: But of course the time change which caught me by

716
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: surprise over the weekend, the spring forward. I wasn't ready

717
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: for it. I usually know, and I was unsure of what.

718
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: Was going on on Sunday morning there.

719
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know where that person is, but I

720
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: assume their time has not been sprung. That's right there,

721
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: So it feels like a totally different hour.

722
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: I guess it works better for at least Nathan here

723
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: in the stream team. All right, we'll keep it.

724
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we are. This one's for you, Nathan and

725
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: the Philippines. Time has not been changed.

726
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, as i'm.

727
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: Seeing here, so this is a way better time.

728
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: Goods good to know. Let's do some losers of the

729
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: NBA weekend tasks. Who do you have?

730
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unfortunate Alpern Shengon got injured at the end

731
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: of that Sacramento Kings game because it was a very

732
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: good game. They're leading the whole way than forty seven

733
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: forty seconds left. He's going back on defense. He's sprinting

734
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: down as Demat Simonis has a fast break move and

735
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: he jumps, puts both hands up and the way he

736
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: landed was very unfortunate. Looked like after all the replays

737
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: you could see that basically that right ankle almost touched

738
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: the floor. It was such a big one. He fell

739
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: on his left leg and corralled his right leg and

740
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 2: was extremely frustrated, extremely frustrated, and he was so injured.

741
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: They pulled out a wheelchair for him and he slapped

742
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 2: that right leg. Something going on there, and all the

743
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: Kings fans all right, excuse me, all the Rockets fans

744
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: doing some work on what he said. Apparently even in Turkish,

745
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: he was saying, I'm finished and my ankle is left up.

746
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: Now there's some inspection about his knee potentially being hurt.

747
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: He's undergoing x rays today. Hasn't been told what exactly

748
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: is happening, but that whole leg, after an incredible season,

749
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: is hurt. Obviously his best season here in year number three.

750
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: He's the best Houston Rocket this year. He's just looked

751
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 2: fricking awesome, and it just sucks. Again. They've won four

752
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: or five now because of him, because of how he played,

753
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: and they had won this freaking game. They're up eight

754
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: and he's just spritten back to play defense, and yeah,

755
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: everybody going through it afterwards, because yeah, it was a

756
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: pretty bad injury. Hopefully it's hopefully it's just ankle injury,

757
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: but we shall see.

758
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 3: I hate to see any player unable to walk off

759
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 3: the floor and then have to sit in the wheelchair

760
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: and get wheeled off, unless it's Paul Pierce because he

761
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 3: crapped himself, you know.

762
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: But otherwise it all sucks.

763
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 3: And especially with his hands in his head there, and

764
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: we wait to find out how serious it is. You

765
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 3: can't imagine we'll see him for probably the rest of

766
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 3: the season, no matter what the extent, unless it's this

767
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: weird tweak. I don't know why you wouldn't be able

768
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,959
Speaker 3: to walk off if it was that was just the case.

769
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot of MRIs that we'll probably find

770
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: out later today, I assume, Yeah.

771
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 2: It was.

772
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: It looked like a bad one here.

773
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 5: It looked like it could be either his knee or

774
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 5: his ankle, and his ankle definitely looked like it had

775
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 5: a bit of a Gordon Hayward look to it, I thought,

776
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 5: with the way he landed at but his knee kind

777
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 5: of bent backwards as well too.

778
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you hope it's just that he's.

779
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 5: Done for the end of this season and that it

780
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 5: doesn't extend into next year as well.

781
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: But Sheng Goon was gonna be.

782
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 5: We'll probably finish as a finalist for Most Improved Player

783
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 5: this year. Twenty one points per game, night, rebounds, five

784
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 5: shit a, five assists, shooting fifty four from the field,

785
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 5: and just has looked like the rockets best player, maybe

786
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 5: even the best player in the twenty twenty one draft,

787
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 5: despite the fact that his teammate went number two and

788
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 5: this guy went number sixteen before the Rockets swung the

789
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: trade for him. So I think at this point it'll

790
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 5: be figuring out just how bad this is and hopefully

791
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 5: having him ready to return at the beginning of next

792
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 5: season would be awesome, but at any point next season

793
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 5: I think would be fortunate at this point for the Rockets.

794
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 3: Yes, we will wait and find out the extent of

795
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: the injury. Well, speaking of injuries, Trey, I know you

796
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: got another one here on the list.

797
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've had an honestly really bad run of injuries

798
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 5: here since we've come back from the All Star break,

799
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 5: with Shng gouon the worst one this weekend. But Benedict

800
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 5: Mathren also is having season ending surgery. It'll be on

801
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: his shoulder. He's got a torn right Labram comes at

802
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 5: a pretty bad time for the Pacers. You mentioned the

803
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 5: standings earlier. Everybody's jammed up fourth through eight right now,

804
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 5: and Mathron has been balling nineteen points per game on

805
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 5: forty one percent from three in his last five games. Now,

806
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 5: they did get a nice win on Sunday against Orlando.

807
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 5: Slow start from the field for Indiana, but then they

808
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: turned it on fifty six percent from the field fifty

809
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 5: eight percent from three in the second half. They're only

810
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 5: five and four since the All Star break. Encouraging signs though,

811
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 5: is that tal Tyres Halliburn has had a couple of

812
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 5: good games in a row. He had twenty three and

813
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: thirteen against the Bucks during the week last week and

814
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 5: then twenty and eight against Orlando. But the Pacers since

815
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 5: the Buddy Heeld trade have've kind of fallen off. Up

816
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 5: until the Buddy Heeld trade, obviously, they were the best

817
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 5: offense in the league one hundred and twenty one points

818
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 5: per one hundred possessions. Basically, that was first since then

819
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixteen point six points per one hundred possessions.

820
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 1: Still good, but it's sixth in the league.

821
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 5: And now they're obviously without Healed since he's a seventy

822
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 5: six er, and they're going to be without Mathren.

823
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: Andrew Demphard is a good player.

824
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 5: He gives them a lot defensively, but he's not the

825
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: scorer that Mathren Healed.

826
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: Are same with TJ.

827
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 5: McConnell i thought he was really good against the Magic

828
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 5: as well. Came in, brought the energy, but you can

829
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 5: see the way he's defended. They're just waiting for him

830
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 5: at the free throw line. You need the three pointers

831
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 5: that either Mathren or Healed would bring. Doug McDermott has

832
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 5: not been able to be that guy for the Pacers.

833
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 5: So a team that is built to be an offensive

834
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 5: powerhouse is just losing more and more of their perimeter players,

835
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 5: and you wonder how many they can lose before it

836
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 5: really really has an effect, because it's not always the

837
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 5: backup that's the problem. It's the backups backup when you're

838
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 5: playing guys who aren't super experienced in the league. So

839
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 5: poor timing for the Pacers, especially considering we already know

840
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 5: this one is season ending. He'll be back next season,

841
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 5: which will be great for the Pacers, but bad timing

842
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 5: for them if they're trying to win a playoff series

843
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 5: for the first time in a while.

844
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that little run that they had gone through here,

845
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: it felt like they're sort of finding the way. The

846
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: way they be Dallas, the way they played Minnesota extremely hard,

847
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: so a final buzzer, and then they beat Orlando felt

848
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: like things were working and so obviously this is this

849
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: is kind of drassic. This is big for them.

850
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: My loser of the weekend goes to Rudy Gobert, and

851
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: let's explain it for those that maybe or keeping up

852
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 3: with the NBA over the weekend. On Friday night, Rudy

853
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 3: Gobert suggested sports betting is influencing how NBA referees are

854
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 3: officiating games after one of the refs assessed him a

855
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: technical foul with about twenty eight seconds to go in

856
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 3: regulation of an eventual loss to the Calves in overtime.

857
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: So Rudy Gobert was whistled for his sixth foul while

858
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 3: Minnie was leading by one point, and he responded by

859
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 3: flashing the money sign with both hands. He did it

860
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: for a while too. He continued to do it. A

861
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: ref saw him slapped him with a tech and that

862
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: sent Garland to the line tied the game up in

863
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 3: ninety seven. It was a big point that he gave

864
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 3: away at that part of the game. After the game,

865
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 3: he explained his gesture as the truth. It's what I

866
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: truly believe, he continued. Mistakes happened. Referees make mistakes too,

867
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: but sometimes I think it's more than mistakes. I think

868
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 3: everybody that's in the league knows. I think it's got

869
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 3: to get better. I know the betting and all that

870
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 3: is becoming bigger and bigger, but it shouldn't feel that way.

871
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: The league didn't take all that long to hit him

872
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: with one hundred thousand dollars fine, the largest fine issued

873
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 3: to a player not suspended this season, for straight up

874
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 3: suggesting that the referees were influenced by sports betting, both

875
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 3: on the floor doing the money signs and then in

876
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 3: his comments after he not only costs his team the game,

877
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 3: cost himself one hundred thousand. Rudy likes to speak his

878
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: mine like, I'll give him that the foalley got called

879
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: for By the way he fouled Jared Allen, I think

880
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 3: he was frustrated with how the game was going. Jared

881
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: Allen was sort of having his way with him, went

882
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: to the free throw line. A lot played physical, had

883
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 3: a great game, and I think that sort of got

884
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 3: Rudy to this point where he had convinced himself, oh no,

885
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 3: the fix is in here now. And it was Scott

886
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 3: Foster who gave him, you know, the call that sixth voul.

887
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: He came running in again. It was a foul.

888
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 3: You know, there was some boxing, boxing out and jockeying

889
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 3: for position inside and he sort of ripped him down

890
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 3: and pulled them up top on Jared Allen.

891
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: It was a foul.

892
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,959
Speaker 3: But yeah, do you have thoughts on Rudy here? Because

893
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 3: the interesting to see it's been interesting to see how

894
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 3: people react to this. You get half the people going,

895
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 3: he's right, the fix is in and half these games

896
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 3: Rudy speaking the truth and another one going, come on, Rudy,

897
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 3: where's your proof. It's not just because you fouled out here.

898
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 3: But Rudy has said things before too, and that's what

899
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 3: the League has sort of said. It's because he's implied

900
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 3: things like this before, hence the one hundred thousand. But your

901
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 3: take on.

902
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 5: All this and I remember there was that one time

903
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 5: he didn't he get ejected from a game and like

904
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 5: smacked a water bottle of crazy, like totally blasted. He's

905
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 5: a guy who will, like you're saying, skates, He's gonna

906
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 5: speak his mind, ah o what he thinks. But there's

907
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 5: a reason he got one hundred thousand dollars fine because

908
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 5: the league is say, hey, you can't be calling into

909
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 5: question the integrity of the officials. Leave that to the fans. Basically,

910
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 5: that is what they're saying. Because the fans are going

911
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 5: to say it, and he ain't nothing you can do

912
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 5: to stop that. Because the influence of gambling is definitely

913
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 5: real in the NBA. You know, after decades of staying

914
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 5: away from it, never mentioning it, you're getting it on

915
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 5: every broadcast. You're getting live lines all the time. There

916
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 5: was a documentary about Tim Donnegie where Scott Foster was

917
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 5: mentioned repeatedly and hit that any NBA player could go

918
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 5: and watch on Netflix if they've subscribed.

919
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 3: You know.

920
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 5: So Rudy's the first and they hit it with a

921
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 5: huge fine for it, but he probably won't be the

922
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 5: last guy to say something about it.

923
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to prove Rudy. I wanted to know

924
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 2: exactly what's going on through his head. Obviously, I think

925
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 2: it's the Scott Foster, Lincoln all of it. If I

926
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 2: have to guess, said, Okay, yeah, what he did back

927
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: with Tim Donneghey, what.

928
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: Exactly what he did or didn't do? Is I think

929
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,760
Speaker 3: where Rudy's getting to here in his mind.

930
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: Yes, maybe what he did or what he didn't do, though,

931
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 2: was a while ago. I think he may have been

932
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: mad about air bawling a dunk like there he went through.

933
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 2: He went through a bad game. He had a bad game,

934
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: and so he may be pissed off about that. But

935
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,439
Speaker 2: he said, I think it's hurting our game. And it's

936
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,240
Speaker 2: not so much that it's in every broadcast that you see,

937
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 2: every potential team that you want to bet on that night.

938
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 2: It has to do with the referees that he is come.

939
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: He is basically saying, are fixing the game. So I

940
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: just want to proof. Let's let's figure this thing out

941
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 2: and not just imply that Scottie Foster is trying to

942
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 2: make some money here at the age of seventy for

943
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: somebody sticking some I don't know how old Scott Foster

944
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: is I assumed he's seventy, but somebody's sticking some money

945
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: in his pocket. I think we got it.

946
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: And to make it clear, it wasn't It wasn't Scott

947
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 3: Foster that gave him the technical for the money signs.

948
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: That was another official that he sort of was doing it,

949
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,959
Speaker 3: you know, right in.

950
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: The face of it.

951
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: She's right there and she had You know, some people

952
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: are like surprised he all only got one hundred thousand

953
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: dollars fine for his comments. These are these are this

954
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: is a slippery slope that the you know, it's also

955
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: a bed the league has made when they went into

956
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 3: all these prop bets and lines and all you talk

957
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: about for sure that you're gonna get more of this,

958
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 3: and it's a weird thing. It's like you have to

959
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 3: like penalize the guy for his actions and his comments,

960
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 3: but it's like you can't go too far because I

961
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 3: feel like then people are like, whoa, Okay, see now

962
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 3: he's got a point trying to quiet you.

963
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: Ready, but they can't go too lenient.

964
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 3: It's like, I mean, they can't really wins my real point.

965
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: I guess. But the league went into this so people

966
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: could bet on it, not referees could bet on it,

967
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: of course, so that is players. Yeah, yeah, so that

968
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 2: is the thing that he is implying, he basically said,

969
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 2: and not even just implying. He said it that guy,

970
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 2: that guy who gave me follow to toss me out

971
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: of the game or whatever, you know, the technical foul.

972
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 2: Everybody who's wearing black and white stripes.

973
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: He's got. He's got the calves tonight.

974
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: Somehow, I see on FanDuel that you can bet plus

975
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 2: forty for yeah, one forty for the Cavs. It's gotta

976
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 2: be good. Scott's gotta be betting on the right. Anyways,

977
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you could. You can find his bets of

978
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: Scott Foster's meeting bets, which I'm sure he hasn't but

979
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 2: can't wait to find out, can't wait to see the doc.

980
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: The crazy part is he cost his team the game.

981
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the I mean, yes, okay, he can afford

982
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,959
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand whatever. He doesn't seem to care about

983
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: the criticism that he may or may not get from

984
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 3: some people like us or other people are don't come on, man,

985
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 3: what's your proof?

986
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

987
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 3: You're just upset because you had a bad game. But

988
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 3: uh yeah, he gave a point to tie the game up.

989
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: You know, they got to stop they win this game.

990
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: It's possibly, you know, it could play out a million

991
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 3: different ways. But then obviously not to have him in overtime.

992
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: He thought he thought Scott had something going on.

993
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: Him, an equalizer. Yeah, yeah, right right when it comes

994
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: to playoff series.

995
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 5: For Luca did get fined last year for doing it

996
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 5: right as well? Thirty five k right, that's a guy

997
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 5: that complains a lot as well.

998
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah he does, he does, so, I mean not drastically more,

999
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: drastically higher.

1000
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think I think again, I think it was

1001
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 3: the money, the money flash hands on the court, and

1002
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 3: then also the comments.

1003
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, if you remove one of those, maybe it's.

1004
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 3: Just your more normal thirty to forty thousand dollars fine,

1005
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 3: but maybe together it's like, wow, you are really leaning

1006
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 3: into this narrative of yours that obviously we don't agree with,

1007
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 3: and nor can we have like you know, catching fire right, yeah, squash.

1008
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: It right away.

1009
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: I guess players do that money signal to say I

1010
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 2: would like to give the league some money.

1011
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Here you go, I'm getting fined dollar bills.

1012
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 3: I have one more loser. I wanted to switch. Sorry

1013
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 3: slip in here. Did you see Jamal Murray over the weekend.

1014
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 3: He had a killer game against the Jazz season high

1015
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 3: I think thirty seven points cook it, I mean, they

1016
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 3: killed them. And then he did the postgame press conference,

1017
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 3: but while he was doing it, he was on his

1018
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,919
Speaker 3: phone the entire time watching the UFC fight card.

1019
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: Yep.

1020
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 3: And he still answered the questions, but it, you know,

1021
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: it had a lot of people going, Wow, that's quite rude.

1022
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you are a pro. This is a part

1023
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 3: of your what you have to do as a professional athlete.

1024
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 3: Go talk to the media, and you did, but you're

1025
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: not looking up barely from your phone.

1026
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: I didn't.

1027
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 3: So if some people think it's hilarious, some people think

1028
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 3: that's that is rude to the media who are just

1029
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 3: trying to do their job. And you can probably pause

1030
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 3: it and catch back up on your on your fights,

1031
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: but you're all laughing and smiling.

1032
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 5: So it is weird to see a guy watching a fight.

1033
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 5: You know, we went out to dinner. I was watching

1034
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 5: UFC fight when we were in Vegas for Summer League.

1035
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 5: We want to dinner. I was watching UFC fights on

1036
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 5: somebody else's table. They had their phone. Oh you know,

1037
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 5: they're very engaging on a pay per view card.

1038
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 1: That was a big one. You f C two ninety nine.

1039
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 1: You weren't getting interviewed. I wasn't getting interviewed. I wasn't

1040
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: getting interviewed.

1041
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 5: But I can understand you would want to catch it live,

1042
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 5: but you could also wait like ten minutes and watch

1043
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 5: it on demand.

1044
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 3: Or as other people said, couldn't he I mean, I

1045
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 3: know they do this, Like Jamal could have been like, hey, Gordon,

1046
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 3: to go take the press conference today. I don't want

1047
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 3: to do it because I want to watch the fights.

1048
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:16,880
Speaker 3: But maybe they all wanted to watch it.

1049
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1050
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said I didn't want to miss the fights,

1051
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 2: so that's why he had it there. But I actually was.

1052
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 2: Somebody tweeted at me his mean answer to a question

1053
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: by Met Moore, and so I had no idea that

1054
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 2: he was watching MMA. But he did give a pretty

1055
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: fair answer, so he was able to do both. I mean,

1056
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: he was a multi Matt Moore said, so, do you

1057
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: guys feel like if your playoffs started this weekend, you

1058
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: guys would be ready to go? He's like, kind of question,

1059
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: is that, bro? That's exactly what he said to Metmore

1060
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: because he didn't like the implication that we're not good

1061
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: enough for the playoffs or we just won the freaking championship,

1062
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: so he asked for a follow up. I mean, Matt

1063
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 2: Moore followed up and he would back at him. I

1064
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 2: think they also don't like Matt Moore. I saw during

1065
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: the other I mean they just they know that Matt

1066
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: Moore asks some uh some questions that have peeved them off.

1067
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 2: I watched yead I was there in the NBA Finals

1068
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: when Jokic kind of asked Matt Moore, what kind of

1069
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 2: question is that? Like, Matt Moore has been there, He's

1070
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 2: been a good job, done a good job for the

1071
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: media for years and been into the Nuggets for a

1072
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 2: long time. So I think they just kind of get it,

1073
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: get under each other's skin. But anyways, that's a good

1074
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 2: job flight Card. I feel like Jamal Urray didn't. Isn't

1075
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 2: like part of his thing that he trains m M

1076
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: A and off seasons or something like that. Yeah, yeah,

1077
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 2: he's really into it. There's no doubt he would be

1078
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: the favorite then. I do believe, yes, I.

1079
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 3: Would take him more to no offense more. I don't

1080
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 3: know if he's been hitting the Matt hard, Matt Moore hard.

1081
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: Well, Francis Nagan who hit the Matt hard.

1082
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 3: I almost say, look, I go to bat for Jamal

1083
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 3: Morey more than anyone good old Canadian boy.

1084
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: But no, this was a this was not a good

1085
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: old Canadian boy move at all. It's rude. I'm sorry

1086
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: you're a professional athlete.

1087
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 3: As dumb as the questions might be, as you know,

1088
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 3: just generic as they might be at times, it's still

1089
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 3: a bad look in my opinion. It's just just as

1090
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 3: as a person, that's all. But I hope you enjoyed

1091
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 3: the fights, which apparently did have been the leading score. Yeah,

1092
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 3: you should have a bad at when you when you

1093
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 3: see a UFC card that you want to watch and

1094
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 3: you know it's on at the same time, you got

1095
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 3: to put up a dud, not thirty seven points.

1096
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: They obviously want to talk to you though. It's a

1097
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: great point. Let's start wrapping this up with a tweet

1098
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: of the night.

1099
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: Tweed of the knight.

1100
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 3: Wow, so tweeted the night sort of inspired I guess

1101
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 3: by the Oscars in a weird way, you know, a

1102
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 3: bunch of people getting their fits off.

1103
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw any or have

1104
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: any favorites. I saw Julian huffwaar a giant pair of pants.

1105
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 1: That's right. It was a huge pair of huge, huge,

1106
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: some big. I think Ariana Grande a giant dress that

1107
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: she came out she had carry out.

1108
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, then you got the suits on

1109
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 3: the guy and stuff like that. Anyway, this is not

1110
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 3: about the Oscars, but Miles Turner of the Pacers had

1111
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: an interesting look over the weekend, and we're showing it

1112
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: to you here. It's really the jean jacket that you're

1113
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: gonna be fascinated by because yeah, that's Lego on this

1114
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 3: custom Miles Turner jean jacket with a whole bunch of

1115
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 3: lego and the back is really where the lego shines.

1116
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 3: But man, a lot of questions about this. I see

1117
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: a Mario chompin thing. It's really really unique, really creative.

1118
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 3: Did he do it because we know he loves Lego?

1119
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 3: If not, how much did this cost? Can you sit down?

1120
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 3: How do you sit down in this? You can't mean

1121
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 3: you're just you can't lean back. I would assume he.

1122
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 5: Had to take it off when they were on the bus. Yeah,

1123
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 5: I just stand the whole time you could.

1124
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: Have my seat.

1125
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 3: If I was a teammate of his, it would be

1126
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 3: impossible to not want to like pick at it if

1127
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 3: I was walking behind him or near him, right, because

1128
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: I want to see, like, oh, how is this? Like

1129
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 3: how glued together is this? And like I don't know,

1130
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 3: I just want to play with it.

1131
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 5: I would, Yeah, definitely, you would be because I was

1132
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 5: zooming in to see all of the little mini figs.

1133
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a C three po.

1134
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 5: You might have some Elsa and Anna up at the

1135
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 5: top where it looks a little bit more Frozen themed. Yeah, right,

1136
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 5: it's the octopus is very cool. I really like the

1137
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 5: fringe on the sleeves of the jacket, so do I.

1138
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? Are those Lego?

1139
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, Lego not familiar.

1140
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I didn't know that there are Lego chains.

1141
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: Those are literally like Cheney, but who knows.

1142
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: So you like it?

1143
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 2: I would like it because yes, of course it would

1144
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 2: start some conversations with teammates, although they would have to

1145
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 2: be looking at your back and you'd have to turn

1146
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 2: around if you want to talk to them kind of thing,

1147
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like it would be nice

1148
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: to be on the front. Yeah, but really, back, intricate

1149
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 2: back is the fun part, there's no doubt.

1150
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 3: Then do you think he takes this next level and

1151
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 3: just builds a shirt out of lego almost like like

1152
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 3: Knight and shining armor type thing like I don't know

1153
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 3: what you call that piece of equipment on a night

1154
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 3: but breastplate.

1155
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, breastplates. Yeah, but make that out.

1156
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 3: A lego, right, like, slip into it or maybe build

1157
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 3: it around him.

1158
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: Very complicated.

1159
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 5: Would be tough for him too, because I'm sure he

1160
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 5: would want to be the one building it.

1161
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: But can you build a lego build his self?

1162
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,120

00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can at least a helmet, Like we saw him.
