Speaker 1: Back stateside and still filling in for JD. You see

Speaker 1: him here. I'm not even sure JD's ever coming back

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: at this point. He looks like he's enjoying himself in

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: the one photo I've seen of him in Mexico. But

18

Speaker 1: we got guest producer Andrew Schle what's up Andrew? Ready

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: task is right at one point where we will make

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: our way back to the Classic Factory. But we got

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: playing games to preview and predict over the first couple

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: of days here before we get to the actual playoffs

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the week on the weekend. But

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: we did have some notes here. Lee, there's a lot

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: happening right now in the NBA. I'm going to chuck

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a bunch at you. Then we'll get to previewing and

36
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: predicting again the play in games. But we had Joelle

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Embiid becoming the first center since Shack to win the

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: scoring title a young doing something tiny archibald Ones did,

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: and that is leading the league in total points and

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: total assists. It's pretty insane. It's only those two guys.

41
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: We got the Rockets finishing with the league's worst record

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: along with the Magic and Pistons. They're gonna have equal

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: chance at the number one pick because of the odds

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: being flattened there. We had some wild forty point burgers,

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: uh Obi top it Deepo maleak Monk. We had some

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: crazy trip doubles too. I saw Trey tweeting about that

47
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: and then here's the big one, Lee, And I'm sure

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: you got some thoughts on this. Uh woes yesterday last

49
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: night saying Frank Vogel is out as coach of the Lakers,

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: And they asked Frank Vogel about it and he was like,

51
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: what you know, He's basically like, uh, I mean, I

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: don't know anything about that ship. Basically we're saying, I

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: guess it's gonna happen today according to Woch. So, yeah, Lee,

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: one of those the NBA news there, did you want

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: to touch on?

56
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 3: Well, there's lots in there, isn't there. There's some good,

57
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 3: some bad, some pretty ugly, And I think I will

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: start with the ugly because that is the big thing here.

59
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 3: The Lakers are likely to move on. It hasn't become

60
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: official yet. He wasn't on the exit interviews though there

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: Frank Vogel. So he's done in LA and look he's

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: the way they've treated him, I think has been bad.

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: I've been saying this a lot this season. We've known

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: for a while that it's very, very highly unlikely that

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: he wasn't returning this season. They could have fired him

66
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: a few months ago and at least sort of said, Okay,

67
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: you're not our guy, we're going to move forward to

68
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: someone else. Instead, they've strung him along like this, making

69
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: him believe that there is somehow a chance he could

70
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: hang on next season. But anything short of a championship

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: I think was going to be the death now for him. Then, look,

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: Frank Vogel's been a good soldier. He maybe isn't the

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: best coach. Fair enough, okay, but at least you show

74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: some respect to a guy who did bring you a championship.

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: And I don't think they've done that. I don't think

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: they did that. Even at the start when they signed him,

77
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 3: he was their third choice. They gave him the contract

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: for three years. He wins a championship and they sort

79
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: of begrudgingly gave him a one year extension, which is

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: one of those, you know, dead on a ride all

81
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: sort of contracts. It's like, we're only giving this because

82
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: we sort of have to, and they've just been so

83
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: badly in the way that they've shown a guy who's

84
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: brought them a championships. I think that's bad. I think

85
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: Rob Blink is the one here who deserves all the heat.

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: I think he's done a terrible job as the GM.

87
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: If you go back to even in the in the

88
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: early days there, you know the signings he's made Lebron okay,

89
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: but Lebron basically wanted to go to La anyway, and

90
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: Magic Johnson was the one who apparently finalized that deal.

91
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis eventually goes to the Pelicans. That's because after

92
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: the Pelicans finally reluctant gave up and in return got

93
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: a ton of draft picks and draft capital from the

94
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: Lakers there, and then you look at what he's done

95
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: this season. Guys like Rondo, Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, Kent

96
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: Bazemore just nothing players for that team. And of course

97
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 3: that's after they trade for a guy who did not

98
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: fit playing with Lebron in Russell Westbrook, instead giving up

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: Kuzma and KCP, who two guys at least fit in

100
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: playing around Lebron. So Rob Polinka is the one here.

101
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: He's done a bad job. But Ginny Buss as well.

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 3: It starts at the top. She's the owner. She's the

103
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: one who ultimately has all these decisions, along with Linda

104
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: Rond of course, but ultimately around us, the Lakers have

105
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: been an embarrassing, an embarrassment of a franchise this season.

106
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: There's no question that the way that they've treated people

107
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: and their coach has been terrible. So in some ways,

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: Frank Vogel was probably like, you glad to escape that

109
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: sort of environment. But he's still a head coach for

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers. You want to go there and you want

111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 3: to succeed, and that is still one of the glamour

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: positions in theory. But it's very interesting. You know there's

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: names being linked with that job now. You know Quinn Snyder,

114
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: I think there's some possibility there because I think his

115
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: time in Utah is coming to an end. Doc Rivers,

116
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: I think his time is also coming to an end

117
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia if they especially if they go out in

118
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: the first round. Nick Nurses me, why the fuck would

119
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: Nick Nurse want to go to la Honestly, he's a

120
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: hero in.

121
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Toronto, is a rockstar man.

122
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: Counter coach. Mysteries as the coach of the round because

123
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 4: he could be on like a real TV show if

124
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: he goes Balan.

125
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: Nick Nurse has has done everything in Toronto. He's loved

126
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: by the fans, he's loved by the players. He's got

127
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: a good relationship with Thesi. He just signed an extension

128
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: himself not too long ago. I don't know why you'd

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: want them to reach and go to the Lakers organization,

130
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: but that to me is still This has been one

131
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: of the most humiliating seasons in the Lakers history. Would

132
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 3: never have happened under Doctor Jerry Buss, I believe, because

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: they at least showed some more class in running the organization.

134
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: But the last two seasons I think has been shocking

135
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: for just the way the Lakers have treated people and

136
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: handled their business.

137
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, tass anything to add to

138
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Lee there and Logol being made to be the scapegoat

139
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: here on a brutal season. Though the construction of the

140
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: team left a lot of people scratching their heads.

141
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: Oh, of course it was the construction. I thought the

142
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: construction of Woja's tweet giving everyone the news was incredible

143
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: to quote well which Frank Vogel has coached his final

144
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: game for the Lakers, a decision that's expected to be

145
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: shared with him as soon as Monday, so versus l ESPN.

146
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: I feel like the verbiage of these tweets is just

147
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: it's getting it's getting nuttier and nuttier, just just more

148
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: nuanced every single month we get here. It's very creative writing.

149
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: I'll say that. I think what the Lakers may do

150
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: is get very creative with their roster. And my question

151
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: is if they stretch Russell Westbrook's contract, his forty seven

152
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: mil that he's owed this season, would it be smarter

153
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: for them to just say we'll pay you that forty

154
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: seven over three years and release you to be able

155
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: to sign other players because they're pretty handcuffed with the

156
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: way their roster is constructed. Or as Mark Stein was

157
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: reporting that the Hornets are somewhat interested in Russell Westbrook

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: coming to their team because they want to clear up

159
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: the books because they've got to sign LaMelo Ball and

160
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: Miles Bridges to long term deals. They're still on their

161
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: rookie contracts. I know it's a bit of a stretch,

162
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: but they're paying Gordon Hayward thirty mil in these next

163
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: two seasons. Could Gordon Hayward and Kelly Ubra makes sense

164
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: for Russell Westbrook in that type of wackage. I don't

165
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: think it's crazy. They also are paying Terry Rozier twenty

166
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: to twenty six million in each of the next four seasons,

167
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: so there is something to be I don't know, talked about,

168
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: at least for Russell Westbrook, whether the Lakers release him

169
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: or potentially move him on to the Hornets, which you know,

170
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: if they play him aside LaMelo ball it sounds a

171
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: little crazy. It would be taking away LaMelo's touches. But

172
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: at the same time, Gordon Hayward is their problem, so

173
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: it would be one problem for another problem. Just like

174
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: John Wall was traded for Russell Westbrook, Gordon Hayward isn't

175
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: currently playing right now and he's had trouble staying on

176
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: the court. So I find that very very interesting.

177
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: Trey, what did you think though, of Woe's tweet? How

178
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: it was worded like Tess said, then Vogel literally being

179
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: asked about it fifteen minutes later. I love the idea

180
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: of like Woe was tweeting this and maybe Vogel doesn't

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: even find out until one day from the actual Lakers organization.

182
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Very weird. And then yeah, moving forward, would you want

183
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to coach the Lakers, I guess is a fair question.

184
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: I know they're talented with Lebron and Ady there, but

185
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: it seems like a bit of a headache too.

186
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 4: Oh, it's definitely a headache. I just hope they told him.

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: I mean, it's only seven o'clock on the West Coast

188
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: right now, so he could still be asleep, just no

189
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: clue about what's happening with his own franchise. But I

190
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 4: don't know. Yes, I would still want to coach the

191
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 4: Lakers because think about what happened with Frank Vogel here.

192
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: He didn't have much of a reputation after coaching the Magic.

193
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: They were a bad team, coached a couple of seasons there.

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: He was going to be on the bench with the Lakers,

195
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: and now, after the way things went with Jason Kidd

196
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 4: and Monty Williams, he's got a title. He's got this

197
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 4: extension that the Lakers gave him, which he's been fired

198
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: before it even kicks in. So he's got a year

199
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 4: to kind of take to get paid and take some

200
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 4: time off and figure out what the next move is

201
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: because he will be in demand a little bit. You know,

202
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: he's got a title, he can obviously build a defense

203
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 4: if you give him players who can play defense. So yeah,

204
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 4: a bummer ending to the way things happened with Frank Vogel,

205
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: But that's kind of how it's been with Lakers coaches

206
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: over the past few seasons. Luke Walton included. Obviously he

207
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: didn't work out there. But unless you're a Lakers legend,

208
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: it's gonna end poorly for you in Los Angeles. So

209
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, I was not surprised to see that

210
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: there are no front runners yet because clearly the Lakers

211
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 4: are waiting to see who disappoints in the playoffs here,

212
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: whether it be the Jazz, whether it be the seventy

213
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: six ers or I mean, they're not gonna get Nick Nurse.

214
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, I guess the Raptors could lose

215
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: in the first round and maybe he wants to try

216
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: something different. Doesn't make sense to me, but you know,

217
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 4: the Lakers are going after a big name with this

218
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 4: next coach. It's just a matter of who's it gonna

219
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: be and who actually stinks it up in the playoffs.

220
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: But I don't know, I mean, it doesn't really matter

221
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: who coaches the Lakers. The only thing that matters is

222
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 4: if Lebron and Anthony Davis can stay healthy and play

223
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: seventy games during a season. If they can, the Lakers

224
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: will be good. If they can't, the Lakers will be bad.

225
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: By the way, where are we with tampering these days?

226
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Lebron's talking about you know, Steph Curry, Yeah,

227
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: I'd love to play with him, Windy saying that watch

228
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: out for Luca Dunci. I mean, like this is where

229
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: the tampering rules and finds. It just don't make any

230
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: sense Lebron last year apparently an aad had dinner with Lillard.

231
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: You know, Westbrook came over as well. Apparently Derozen was

232
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: involved at some point as well. So surely that is tampering.

233
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: Surely Lebron isn't able to just like openly.

234
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: The players are the out here. That's the thing. It's

235
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: when Magic Johnson goes on television and starts saying this

236
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: player is really good, he'd be great in the Lakers uniform,

237
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: then you're in trouble. But players are okay.

238
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: I guess so, I guess. So it's just weird to

239
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: me that, like, what difference does it make when Lebron

240
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: is openly actively trying to recruit players to his team.

241
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: If it's Lebron or Magic, what difference does that make.

242
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Lebron's the most influential player on that team. Still,

243
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 3: so this is some weird stuff going on.

244
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Welsh says, the Lakers searcher expected to be lengthy and expansive,

245
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: with no clear initial front runner and one hundred percent

246
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: on board could be anyone, but there are definitely if

247
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: they have their eye on one of these coaches in

248
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: one of these playoffs series, they probably are crossing their

249
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: fingers and hoping, saying, Quinn Snyder and the Jazz lose

250
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: in the first round, be it Doc and the Sixers

251
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: lose the first round, and they get like one of

252
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: these guys they want if that's who they have in mind,

253
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: because you think it, they usually like a marquee name.

254
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean they did settle for Vogel, right, I mean

255
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: it was missing out on whom Monty Williams and ty

256
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: lew that's right, And so Vogel was their third choice

257
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: and Vogel got him a championship. And yes, it helps

258
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: when you have Lebron and Ad healthy, but he gave

259
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: them a defensive identity which they were lacking, and that

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: was the weird part. They go win the title with defense,

261
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: and then they like completely just like pivot the entire

262
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: different direction and give them all these old guys that

263
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: don't play a lick of defense, and he's probably left

264
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: going like, what do you want me to do? Here?

265
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Had to have been frustrated, but he's got a title.

266
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: So there you go.

267
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: Okay, that's enough on the Lakers, at least until they

268
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: hire their next coach. Play in previews and predictions tasks.

269
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Let's get this started. We obviously you know these playing games,

270
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: so let's start here on today's show with the two

271
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night Tomorrow night, and we'll begin with the

272
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: Cavaliers versus the Nets. Calves are the eighth seed. Nets

273
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: are the seventh seed, so they'll be hosting this one

274
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: at the Clays, as the Nets twitter account likes to

275
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: call it. They're really pushing that I've noticed. So let's

276
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: talk about this keys to this game. It's only one game.

277
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: Of course, you win, you're the seventh seed, and you'd

278
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: be taking on the Celtics maybe X factors and then

279
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: ultimately predictions. But get a start a task. What you

280
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: got your eye on.

281
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: The Cleveland Cavaliers. They end up in the play and

282
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: after such an incredible season, it hurts. It hurts. But

283
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: as we saw when the Nets played the Calves on Friday,

284
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: second last game of the season, for both these teams,

285
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: they suit it up against each other. The Calves are

286
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: not going out easy. Even if everyone's picking the Brooklyn Nets.

287
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: They play hard. But I think they need their most rugged,

288
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: tough player back in Jared Allen to win this game

289
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: because I'm picking the Brooklyn Nets as well. But if

290
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: we go back to Friday, I'll show you the reasons

291
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: why they need Jared Allity in there, because it came

292
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: down to the fourth quarter and the Nets outscored the

293
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: Cavs thirty five nineteen in that quarter and it was

294
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: just an eleven point wins. So I'm trying to tell

295
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: you that it was a close game coming down the

296
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: stretch because the Nets are going to chill for a

297
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: lot of the game defensively, and the Calves are going

298
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: to put up points. Darius Garland scored thirty one against

299
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: the Nets. That guy is going to score against the

300
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: guards of the Brooklyn Nets. Ben Simmons ain't coming back.

301
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: On Tuesday night, Evan Mobley, back from an injury, scored seventeen.

302
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: Lowry Markins scored seventeen. Karis Lavert revenge against the Brooklyn Nets,

303
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: he scored sixteen. The Nets are gonna score no matter what,

304
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: but they are not going to blow out the Caves

305
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: because I think the Cavs are going to fight now

306
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: where they need alsar. Jared Allen's toughness is to prevent

307
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: the stars of the Nets from scoring. And he's not

308
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: going to guard Durant. He's not gonna guard Kyrie, but

309
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: I think he can really slow down Kyrie in the

310
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: paint because Kyrie likes to get in there and Jared

311
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: all is just such a good defender. He will deter

312
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Kyrie from scoring. So this star power that got them

313
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: over the hump in the fourth quarter can be deterred

314
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: if Jared Allen comes back and stop some of those

315
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: easy ones. Now he's got an injured finger. He hasn't

316
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: played in over a month, but he had a full

317
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: workout this weekend. He kind of looks ready to go

318
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: for my dumb naked eye on the television, he looked

319
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: like he was good out there and on Friday he

320
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: would just for another example, why Jared Allen would be great.

321
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: He would just shore up some of the easy ones.

322
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: Andre Drummond he killed the Calves. He had fifteen and

323
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: twelve five offensive rebounds in just twenty three minutes. Bruce

324
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: Brown had four offensive rebounds. I think if Jared Allen

325
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: is back, he'll control those backboards and then he could

326
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: do to the nets what Drummond did to them, grabbing

327
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: offensive boards. That's where they have to be taken advantage of.

328
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: That's where the nets weakness is their front line, and

329
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: it is a good thing. As I mentioned, Evan Mobley back,

330
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: He's now played two games. He had eighteen ten and

331
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: four blocks on Sunday. So this Cavs season, that is

332
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: a frickin' roller coaster. Losing their backcourt of Ricky Rubio

333
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: and Colin Sexton and losing heavy Mobley, losing everybody's been

334
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: hurt on this team. Now, if they can get back

335
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: their frontline for Tuesday Night, I think it will go

336
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: down to the wire and should be an ugly game,

337
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: and it should be Darius Garland and Karris LeVert trying

338
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: to make it work against Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving,

339
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: which you automatically say Oh, that's a losing equation. But

340
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: if Jared Allen is in there, I think there could

341
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: be a fight down to the wire in this game.

342
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: All right, Jason Fire thirty four here in the stream,

343
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: team looking forward to the Kyrie revenge tour, and Jason

344
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: saying first Cleveland here in this play in gamely and

345
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: then Boston. So Jason's already looking ahead, He's got the

346
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: nets winning this game. I would assume ninety nine percent

347
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: of people out there are going to be taking Brooklyn

348
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: in a one game affair with a healthy Katie and

349
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Kyrie playing obviously being able to play at home versus Cleveland.

350
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: But what do you think or what are you watching

351
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: in this one task baby down?

352
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, obviously even Durant is the guy

353
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: you're not going to back against him against the inexperienced

354
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 3: Cleveland team in this one game. I mean, it's not

355
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: life or death here for the Calves, because they will

356
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: have another chance if they lose. But seeing Brooklyn eight

357
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 3: point favorite, it's like, ah, yeah, that's a big ish line.

358
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: Because as good as Kevin Durant is Kyrie irving back there,

359
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: they were only fourteen and fifteen in the twenty nine

360
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: games he's played this season, and while his numbers sort

361
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: of look okay there, he's had a couple of games

362
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: like this recently where he's gone twelve for thirty two,

363
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: nine for twenty two, seven for twenty two, nine for

364
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: twenty six. Like he does sometimes shoot badly, and that

365
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 3: could be something that that if he goes cold, if

366
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant doesn't get anyone else sort of supporting him

367
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: scoring the ball. Because this is where as Tas mentions there,

368
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: Cleveland's going to win this game by just outscoring Excuse me,

369
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: Brooklyn's going to win this game by simply just outscoring

370
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: Cleveland because they've got the firepower to do it. But

371
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: if they don't get that, if Kyrie is having a

372
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: bad night, then I think that just gives the Calves

373
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: a chance. The Caves have played an incredibly good season.

374
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: They've fallen off a little bit here towards the end,

375
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 3: but they're largely healthy going in if Jared Allen does

376
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: play here, So if they can defend well enough and

377
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: keep the game close. We've seen Darius Gullen have some

378
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 3: very good fourth quarters, and they're just playing with that

379
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: sort of confidence in that they haven't been there before,

380
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: so it's not like there's a huge history of playoff

381
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: failures with this team. Kevin loves me very very good

382
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: for them coming off the bench, and think get that

383
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: sort of production off him and keep it close, then

384
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 3: there are a chance. I mean it's in Brooklyn, of course,

385
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: so that they have home court advantage there of Brooklyn,

386
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: and Kevin Durant is the hardest guy to guard out

387
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: of any player on that team. But I don't think

388
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: this is just going to be a whitewash here for

389
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: the Nets. I think the Cads believe they can keep

390
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: it close, as we saw on Friday night, and then

391
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: if they can, if they get it close down the stretch,

392
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 3: They've got guys who I think they can at least

393
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: believe they can maybe steal a win here. So I'm

394
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: excited for this one. I think it's really a really

395
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: good match up here. Caves has got so much of

396
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: this season that they want to keep it going as

397
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 3: long as they can. If they were to win this

398
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: game and get into the playoffs in their first go

399
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: that would be a great result for them. But I

400
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: am picking Brooklyn to win. Just don't think they're going

401
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: to get that eight points out of it, though.

402
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: So both Tass and Lee Trey say Nets are going

403
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: to win this game, but it's gonna be close. These

404
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: guys are making the case that Cleveland is gonna especially

405
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: if Jared Allen plays, that it's going to be tight

406
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: down into the fourth quarter. Do you agree or disagree?

407
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: And what are you watching in this one?

408
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: I think at one comes down to Jared Allen's availability,

409
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 4: whether or not this is a close game. Because he

410
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 4: doesn't play, I don't really think the Calves have a chance.

411
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 4: Chris fador feed Or at the Cleveland Plain Dealer says

412
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 4: there's pessimism regarding Alan returning for Tuesday, and if he's

413
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 4: not there, for all the reasons Tass mentioned, it's going

414
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 4: to be tough for Cleveland. I think they went seven

415
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 4: and eleven after he went down with an injury to

416
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: end the season. There the nuts, though, We're still going

417
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 4: to need some of their role players to show up.

418
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 4: We saw in the loss against the Hawks when Kevin

419
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 4: Durant had fifty five I think Kyrie Irving had thirty

420
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 4: two something like that. They scored a whole bunch of points,

421
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: but everybody else was pretty bricky from the field and

422
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 4: the Hawks were able to steal a win, so that's

423
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: kind of the gonna be. The recipe for the Caves

424
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: is like slow down everybody else. You're not gonna really

425
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: slow down Kevin Durant. Maybe he can make things tough

426
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 4: on Kyrie, have him take a lot of shots. But

427
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: you know, the Nets offense seems to be a little

428
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: bit ahead of where the Caves are going to be

429
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 4: considering the personnel that's available. But just getting experience is

430
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 4: going to be huge for this Cavs team in a

431
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: play and game, in a game that really really matters,

432
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 4: because outside of Kevin Love and I guess Caris Lavert,

433
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: they don't have any experience. So it's going to be

434
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 4: a level up and we'll see the Nets taking a

435
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: level up as well. They've been putting things together during

436
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 4: the second half of the season, at least ramping up

437
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 4: their effort going down into the playoffs. Here's a random

438
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: potential hero for you for Brooklyn, LaMarcus Aldridge. He hasn't

439
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 4: scored a point since March six, hasn't played a lot

440
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: lately for the Brooklyn Nets, but he average nineteen and

441
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: seven on sixty three percent shooting against the Cavaliers. He's

442
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: just taller than Kevin Love, so he can shoot over

443
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 4: Kevin Love coming off the bench. There. We'll see if

444
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 4: Steve Nash dusts him off.

445
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that All said, can Kevin Love do what he

446
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: did against the Bucks this weekend and fifteen minutes scored

447
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: thirty two points, hit eight threes, and chipped in ten

448
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: rebounds too. They're gonna need a monster. They're gonna need

449
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: a monster the cast to pull this off huge Garland

450
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: game of course, like he's got to be a rock

451
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: there at the point. Composition basically has to to equalize

452
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: what Kyrie is gonna give him on the other end.

453
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: So you know you're looking for that thirty point performance,

454
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: which we know he can do, and then yeah, you

455
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: need a massive Kevin Love game here. You need another

456
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: one of these where he just can't miss from three.

457
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: That's why I find these predictions for playing games sort

458
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: of difficult, because, I mean, we watched a lot of basketball.

459
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: The worst team can beat the better team on any

460
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: given night, and I don't even care like how high

461
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: or load the stakes are. It's true that All said

462
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: I would be pounding the nets line there when'd you

463
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: have it at eight? Eight and a half. I think

464
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: they actually are going to crush them here. I guess

465
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: this is me believing the hype of this team sort

466
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: of with Katie as their leader and Kyrie like, Okay,

467
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: it's go time here, and you know this is one

468
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: game we take care of business and then we're at

469
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: least in the playoffs. We can figure how we tackle

470
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics in a two seven matchup. But uh,

471
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: I would I would like my chances. I like the

472
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: next chances, excuse.

473
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: Me, of.

474
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: A dominant victory. I'll put it that way. But then

475
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: Cleveland will have one more chance against the.

476
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: Winner of Hornet Hawks.

477
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: We'll get to later.

478
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: Always calling it.

479
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: Now, hey, standing room tickets, they're not available yet? Or

480
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: what's going on here?

481
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: Very wed very weed. Uh I guess they'll just pop

482
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 3: up letter on this ton of tickets. So that's what

483
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: they tend to do.

484
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Uh okay, So all of us taking the Brooklyn nets

485
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: definitely waiting to see what the Jarrett Allen sort of

486
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: decision is. Does he play in this game? Do they

487
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: even is there anything here where It's like the Cavs

488
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: are like, well, maybe we even quote unquote save him

489
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: for the next chance of beating the Hornets or Hawks.

490
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, do we see a little weird I guess

491
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: with a with a finger injury. I mean, if you

492
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: can go, you can sort of go. But maybe there's

493
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: something there. But yeah, everybody taking Brooklyn, let's hear from

494
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: the stream team's your actual final score predictions from the

495
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: stream team. Let's see if anybody can nail this one.

496
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: Anything else task this with this game that gets us

497
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: started on Tuesday night, seven pm on TNT.

498
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, the NETS depth has become a bit of a worry.

499
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: They got Curry and Drummond in the deal, and they

500
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: picked up Dragage, which was a phenomenal move. But he's

501
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: been out with a COVID sickness apparently symptomatic, and he

502
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: hasn't played in several games and he really helps out.

503
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: I think that could be an issue. Seth Curry's ankle

504
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: could be an issue. He's riding a bum ankle, but

505
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: I assume they're just saving him for this play in game.

506
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: So I'm just looking at what I'm trying to poke

507
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: holes in the NETS chances here. But I definitely like

508
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 2: the NETS chances. That eight points is huge. But yeah,

509
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: Kevin loves has got it. Kevin Love has to be

510
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: like he was on Sunday scoring thirty two points in

511
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: how many minutes did you say there? Fifteen fifteen? I

512
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: wonder our man John Hollinger made the case for Kevin

513
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: Love being the sixth Man of the Year sort of

514
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: in his argument was it's not just about points. Tyler

515
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: here was just scoring points off the bench. Did Kevin

516
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: Love score too many points to be John Hollinger sixth

517
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: Man of the Year. Now he's just a points scorer now,

518
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: But no, he has to be hot, because, yeah, Garland

519
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: and Lavert need help. But as I said on that

520
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 2: the Friday night game, I know the Nets, you know,

521
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: don't want to play defense for four quarters. But everybody

522
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 2: can go off. The Cavs can score against. This team

523
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: is just going to come down to the fourth quarter.

524
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: And Garland's got to be huge for this.

525
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited to watch him in a sort of

526
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: a do or die, so to speak. Game. I know

527
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: they get another chance whoever loses this game, but big

528
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: one here to try and figure out who is going

529
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: to take on the Celtics there again in the two

530
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: seven matchup. Okay, let's keep it going here. The second

531
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: game on Tuesday Night. It's one we've known for a

532
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: little bit, Clippers versus Wolves. So the eighth seeded LA

533
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: Clippers visiting Minnesota Trey, get your howl on here. What

534
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: do you watching in this one game? Here? What's an

535
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: X factor? What's your prediction?

536
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 4: This is a huge test for the timber Wolves. They

537
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 4: had a great season, They're best in sixteen years, if

538
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: you really want to make the argument, But they kind

539
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: of sputtered there at the end. They lost six of

540
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: their last ten, and a lot of it just seemed

541
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 4: like a lack of focus and kind of stopping doing

542
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 4: what had made them such a fun team to watch

543
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: in the middle of March. And now they've got to

544
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 4: beat the Clippers, who are basically the same team now

545
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 4: that took two games off the Suns in the conference

546
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: finals last year. Plus they added Norm Powell and Robert Covington,

547
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 4: Plus Paul George is back coming off three months of rest,

548
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 4: and that really matters because in the three games that

549
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: Paul George played against the Wolves, the Clippers won those

550
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 4: three by an average of nineteen per game. The one

551
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: game he didn't play, the Wolves won, but it was

552
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: also COVID rosters This also happened way back in the

553
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 4: day November, so early in the season before the Wolves

554
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 4: were really clicking. But massive tests for Minnesota, and the

555
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 4: key to everything is Karl Anthony Towns. He needs to

556
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 4: dominate this matchup, needs to dominate this game. Zubach and

557
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 4: Hartenstein big bodies, but Kat is an all NBA center

558
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 4: right now. He's gonna be tested on defense. The Clippers

559
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 4: like to run pick and roll. They're gonna put him

560
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: in pick and roll all night, and he needs to

561
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: look for his offense, especially if he ends up guarded

562
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 4: by Nick Batoom, which happened a lot during the series

563
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 4: this year. Three games against the Clippers this year for

564
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: Carl Anthony Towns only fifteen points per game on forty

565
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 4: two percent shooting. That's not gonna cut it. If the

566
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 4: Clipper or if the Timberwolves are trying to get out

567
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 4: of this play in tournament. The X factor, I think

568
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 4: is gonna be the Clippers playing small ball because the

569
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 4: Timberwolves need Towns on the floor and they need him

570
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 4: to attack the switches when he ends up with you know,

571
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: like a Terrence Man on him. He's not Rudy Gobert

572
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: out there. The guy can score from inside and outside.

573
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 4: He says he's the best outside shooter big man in

574
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: NBA history. We shall see. He needs to have an

575
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 4: all NBA style game playing against the Clippers because that

576
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: is a clear advantage for the Timberwolves coming in. So

577
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 4: throw on those gorilla fight videos. Watch him from now

578
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 4: until tomorrow night, buddy, you gotta be fired up. This

579
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 4: cannot be a take a back seat game for Karl

580
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 4: Anthony Towns.

581
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think something to watch in this to speak

582
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: to what you were talking about their trey with Towns

583
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: having to have a big, dominant game is when Vanderbilt

584
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: is out there, especially that guy cannot stretch the floor.

585
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: He has to be around the basket. So what the

586
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: Clippers will likely put the center, the big Zubats Hertenstein

587
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: on him, right, I say on in quotes because it's

588
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: like they're sort of roaming and they'll very likely put

589
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: up a tomb A Morris, maybe a Covington on town

590
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: so a much smaller but still physical, mobile forward and

591
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: Towns has to make them pay and cook those guys.

592
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's easy. But you know, this

593
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: guy's one of the best centers in the game. So

594
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: he should. He has to be huge because you can

595
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: rattle Karl Anthony Towns too. We've seen that some hard fouls.

596
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: He's a little frustrated. He can unwind a little bit

597
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: in a game and then he's picking up offensive fowls

598
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: or he's throwing it away. So I think the Clippers

599
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: are going to try that, and I'll be fascinated to

600
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: see how Towns handles it. I hope he can. I

601
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: think this is going to be a gemley. But what

602
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: are you watching it?

603
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 3: Yeah? I hope it's a great game too. And the

604
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 3: other thing I think in the Clippers favor is Tyleru.

605
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: I think is a very good playoff play in coach,

606
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: you know. So I think he's going to tactically be

607
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: very well prepared for this. Chris Finch, obviously this is

608
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 3: his first go Mark Stein reporting, Actually Chris Finch got

609
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 3: in a contract extension or is getting one going into

610
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 3: the you know after this season whenever. That had weird

611
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: timing if you ask me, But anyway, he has done

612
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: a very good job. And the Wolves themselves when they

613
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: started winning just before, as Trey mentioned, they went four

614
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: or six of their last ten, they were starting to

615
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 3: sort of, you know, act a little bit cocky and

616
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: sort of say, hey, we think we can we can

617
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 3: mix it with the best teams in the NBA. Well,

618
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: now is a perfect chance because even though they're at home,

619
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 3: this Clippers team is experienced, and Paul George has been

620
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 3: pretty good since his return, but you'd still think he's

621
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: probably finding a little bit of his game shape because

622
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 3: it was three months out, which is an incredibly long

623
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 3: time here, So the Wolves have to feel that they

624
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: have the advantage. Patrick Beverlely, I think, as well as

625
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: an interesting player in this series because it's a bit

626
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: of a revenge game. Of course for him, he loves

627
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: these moments, He loves being in hack for one way

628
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 3: or the other. Could help his team absolutely certainly could

629
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: harm his team as well if he doesn't know where

630
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: that line is, because we've seen him cross that several

631
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 3: times throughout his career and especially this season. So the

632
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: Clippers I think are the favorite, or should be the favorite.

633
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: I think the line is actually Minnesota slightly, but the Clippers,

634
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 3: based on experience, based on Paul George, and based on

635
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 3: the way that Tyler can get this team ready, I

636
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: think makes them probably the team that I'm going to pick.

637
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm interested to he talking about Vanderbilt. I think Malik

638
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: Beasley's an interesting guy because he can spread the floor

639
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: for them and knock down those threes. He's been very

640
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: good the second half of this season here for Minnesota,

641
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: just getting out there. He had the ten to three

642
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: point game, so they're going to need that sort of

643
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: production from him. But I absolutely believe that he's Karl

644
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: Anthony Towns's game here to put his stamp on the

645
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: league and say he's likely an All NBA player this season,

646
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: and he's got to go out and do it in

647
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: a game like this where he can really solidify his

648
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: place and get Minnesota out of that potential danger spote

649
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: of maybe having a beat then San Antonio on New Orleans.

650
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: It would be a disastrous season here if the Wolves

651
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: weren't able to get at excuse me, get out of

652
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: the playing tournament. But that's that's the sort of thing.

653
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: If they lose this game, then they've got just another

654
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: tricky one that they have to manage to get through.

655
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 3: So I think it's going to be great. I think

656
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 3: this one's going to be very very tight, maybe even

657
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: a little bit sloppy, but I think you're going to

658
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: see low scoring game here because there's a lot at

659
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: stake here for both teams.

660
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like tass I don't know, just from

661
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: my initial reaction scouring the internet at that A lot

662
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: of people are taking the Clippers. I think a big

663
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: part of it is the experience obviously have Paul Geordan,

664
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: normOn Powell back, and maybe the idea like the Wolves,

665
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: despite playing at home and that place the Target Center,

666
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: should be rocking. I mean, they have not had a

667
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of great, big games to get excited for, and

668
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: they have a fun team there, but there is like

669
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: feels like there's a lot of pressure on them to

670
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: win this game, whereas the Clippers less so I guess

671
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: because of their weird season. But what will you be

672
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: watching in this one?

673
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Wolves end of the season just struggling

674
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: and the Clippers just yeah, they're playing with house money

675
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: right now. They're the underdog. Yeah, but at the same time,

676
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: the Wolves should look at themselves as the big favorite

677
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: in this game. We're going to see what happened to

678
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: Luka Doncic the last two postseasons against the Los Angeles Clippers.

679
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: In this one game, the Clippers are going to get

680
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: rough with Carl Anthony Towns. They're going to get physical

681
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: with him. And as Trey mentioned, he hasn't had a

682
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: good season against the Clips, shooting only forty two percent,

683
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: and so we're going to see, Yeah, the guys who

684
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: were assigned to Lucay, like Marcus Morris and batoum to

685
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: go just rough up Carl Anthony Towns somewhat. And Carl

686
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns really has to test the officials and get

687
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: as physical as he can on the offensive end, and

688
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: that he should be able to win that battle. But

689
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: even if he wins that battle in the first quarter,

690
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: the Wolves are always a team that gets up in

691
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: the first quarter. They always give the leads back. And

692
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: the Clippers are really good at coming back from double

693
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: digit deficits, while the Wolves are among the league leaders

694
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: in losing double digit advantages. So this is going to be, yeah,

695
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: a bit of a roller coaster game. I think the

696
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: Clippers are good at getting down and coming back. They

697
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: got down two in the first two rounds last season.

698
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: Now it's got to be done in one game, but

699
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 2: they came back and won both those series last year.

700
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 2: So they're going to try and uh, you know, look

701
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: at themselves like the more physical team like they have

702
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: in the postseason past, and uh as the team that's

703
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: got way more experience because they do. The Wolves really

704
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: have have beverly going. And as he said about when

705
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: he was talking crap to Russell Westbrook online, if you remember,

706
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: I made two conference finals with two different teams. So

707
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: that's their experience right there, that guy and the and

708
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: and otherwise they're lacking in terms of the experience department.

709
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, Chris Finch might have to go quick with

710
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: uh taking Jared Vanderbilt out, maybe putting Tory and Prints

711
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: in there to extend the floor a little bit to

712
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: give Kat space. But Kat should have a lot of space, uh,

713
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: and and should be dominating, so the other guys I

714
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: think will follow suit. If Kat has a good game,

715
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: then the Wolf should win this thing. I know the

716
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: Clips are the hot pick right now, but really the

717
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: Wolves should look at themselves as the favorite.

718
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kat aka Kat Williams as some call him. Did

719
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: you guys see that.

720
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: I think he's competing with Anthony Edwards for just the

721
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: mic check after the game. Like Anthony Edward's so good

722
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: on the mic. I've heard a lot of Carl Anthony

723
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: Town's lines the last few weeks. Like he said, this

724
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: game is the real deal holy Field. He's got a

725
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: lot of lions. He's just throwing out there. They're competing

726
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: on that team. Beverly talks a lot, so Carnthony Town's

727
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: just stepping up his mic game.

728
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: I think it's wild to think he's only played in

729
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: five postseason games. Carl Anthony Towns, he hasn't played in

730
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: the postseason. I mean, I'm calling this the postseasons playing.

731
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: But since twenty eighteen. Yeah, in one series that I

732
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: was over in five and this is a long time ago.

733
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: He's a different player. You know, he averaged like fifteen

734
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: and thirteen. You know, it wasn't dominant. They were going

735
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: against a very good team in the Rockets there. But yeah,

736
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him. I want to see him

737
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: have just a monster. This is my game. And instead

738
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm terrified that we're going to be talking on Wednesday

739
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: morning about like where was kat Why weren't they getting

740
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: the ball? Where? Why was he demanding the ball? I

741
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: hope that didn't happen. And I do think it's gonna

742
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: be close. So let's get final predictions. Trey Who's winning

743
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: this one game? Clippers Wolves on Tuesday Night?

744
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 4: One game? I gotta go with the Clippers and my

745
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 4: boy playoff p wow. No, I love how he shows

746
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: up in the playoffs. Okay, Okay, last year he was great.

747
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 4: I can't do Yeah, yeah he was. Okay, we got

748
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 4: clips from Trey.

749
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: What about Ulie?

750
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

751
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 3: I also am taking the clips. I just think the

752
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 3: experience I think Paul George and the way that Tyler's

753
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 3: gonna get the guys ready. I just think the Clippers

754
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 3: are gonna do it and could be it could be

755
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 3: a little tough night there for the Wolves. Hopefully not

756
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: hopefully I'm wrong, but taking the Clippers Okay to.

757
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 2: Us, I'm riding the Wolves. Did you see Patrick Beverly

758
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night almost getting tossed from a game that

759
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 2: meant nothing. That guy's never talked before. I think he's

760
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: ready for the playoffs. I just hope that. Yeah. I

761
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: think the Wolves will be ready the Clippers. That definitely.

762
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: Paul George helped this team go to the conference finals

763
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: last year. I think it's easy to sort of just

764
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: forget about the guy just had two months off. Is

765
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: he going to be you know, in playoff game shape

766
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 2: for four quarters here, we'll see. He could be for sure,

767
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm banking on the fact that the Wolves

768
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: have done it for longer this season than the Clippers have.

769
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm definitely in that camp that everybody else is,

770
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 2: you know, taking this as their upset pick. I can

771
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: see that, but I'm going with the Wolves.

772
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm also going with the Wolves. I'm with you Tasks,

773
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: especially because I want to hear Trey do his rendition

774
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: of the Wolves of Minnesota the Werewolves of London remix.

775
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: So I want to hear that, and I think that

776
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: place is going to be rocking. Like I said, Pat

777
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: beev is huge. D'Angelo Russell. I saw the stream team

778
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: saying it. He is such a wild card. I mean

779
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: he can have stinkers and then you obviously see like

780
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: sort of that All Star, former All Star sort of

781
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: player in him. You can have really good games. So

782
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: it's like, which one are you going to get from him?

783
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: I mean, flip a coin. Honestly, it feels like but

784
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: I'll take Minnesota in a very close game here, though,

785
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: Tass is right. If Minnesota gets up fifteen sixteen points

786
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, second quarter, Do not turn it off.

787
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: Do not go to bed on Tuesday night. Okay, it's

788
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 1: very likely the Clippers will come back because Minnesota will

789
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: help give that lead back, and it will probably be

790
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: close down the wire. But let's hear from the stream team.

791
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: Drop your predictions, Clippers, Wolves, let's see the final score,

792
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: and we're going to take our first break.

793
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 4: I got one play questions, skates. I was meaning to ask.

794
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 4: We haven't been together in the studio for a minute.

795
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: Does somebody have a Timberwolves jersey? I feel like somebody

796
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 4: did at well we did.

797
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was Halloween. But that one didn't make

798
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: it from the transition. But okay, let me make some

799
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 3: colds and see what I can do for him.

800
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: I like that any wolf shirt, okay, timberwolf jersey preferred

801
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 4: any wolf shirt coming into to it.

802
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: Remember when we got those, we got an Adida's shoe

803
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: and Andrew Wiggins shoe. I thought it was the Timberwolves

804
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 2: jersey was part of that package you.

805
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 4: Get there was there is There is a Wiggans jersey

806
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 4: with the twenty two on it, but I don't know.

807
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 4: I don't know where that's located.

808
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to call her man cap Land, tell

809
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 2: him the go search. At least that's what Lee's ideas.

810
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: I actually just can't believe Trey, you don't own that

811
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: classic three Wolves howling at the Moon type of shirt

812
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: that was popular for a couple of years.

813
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. It's pretty ugly though, so I can play it

814
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 4: on my body. I couldn't do it. Okay, Well, yeah, exactly, exactly.

815
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had the one giant one one d Yeah.

816
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: If everybody out there has got a Wolves jersey trake

817
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: and borrow, especially if they win on Tuesday night, then

818
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: holler at your boys here. Okay, we're gonna take our

819
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we'll start looking at

820
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: some of the other playoff series. Locked in, we got

821
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: some Wedgie used to show you and of course tweeted

822
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: the night, So don't go anywhere. All right, back with

823
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: No Dunks here doing big numbers here on a Monday.

824
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: People are excited for the play in Predictions, So if

827
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: get into some of the other playoff series, and I

828
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: want to ask you guys, which one that we know

829
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: of intrigues you the most. We had some more wedgies.

830
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: In fact, we have had weggies five out of the

831
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: last six days and it's well, we'll go back to

832
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Friday night. It was Keon Johnson in Dallas with the

833
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: the little floater sort of the layup. Yeah, a little

834
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: wedgie there. Look at it. Look at jumping up, hanging

835
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: on the rim to pop it out. So yeah, here's

836
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: another look at it. Good stuff. This is number thirty eight. Guys.

837
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 4: Sorry, Burton's defense on the clip is very funny. They

838
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 4: should not have let him wear number forty four to

839
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 4: Sean Bradley for me.

840
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: So that was number thirty eight, and then we didn't

841
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: have one on Saturday, but it's okay. We had one

842
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday and it was jail and green from an

843
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: interesting position on the floor for a weggie. That's the

844
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: tough I mean, he's at the top, I'm a little

845
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: to the side, but sticks it because he goes left

846
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: and he's smiling. He knows that's getting on, no doubt,

847
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: he's like, oh yeah, what a way to end the season.

848
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: Went for what he had forty one points I believe

849
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, he's been he's been dominant to

850
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: end the season. I think six of the last seven

851
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: games he scored over thirty points. Uh, and the Rockets

852
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: lost all of them. So flawless execution there by the Rockets,

853
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: but a good season from him. And uh, I said, task,

854
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: that's enough for me to give him Rookie of the Year.

855
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: It's my vote.

856
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: Stuck a weggie, Scottie Barnes didn't stick a edgie, and

857
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: Mobilely didn't stick a.

858
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: Edgie seasons this season.

859
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: Guess oh, well that's true.

860
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 4: That's true, regulars true award mate.

861
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but uh yeah, so Jailing Green sticks

862
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: weggie number thirty nine. I checked a weggie tracker on

863
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: Pace for forty two when you consider the play in

864
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: games and the playoffs, which we of course do so yeah,

865
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: well you know again right now, we're just hoping to

866
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: not set the all time record for lowest amount of

867
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: weggies in the season, which is forty. So need two

868
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: more to to avoid that, which I think we're gonna

869
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: get it. Don't worry. Okay, So let's talk a little playoffs.

870
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: In fact, let me show you the playoff schedule that

871
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: we know now this is not play and remember those

872
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: are on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then the final games

873
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: of the play ins on Friday. But on Saturday, and

874
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: I think Andrew, you've got it there in the yard Jazz,

875
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: MAVs get us started at one pm Eastern on Saturday Saturday.

876
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: Then we get the West number seven seeds, so we're

877
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: waiting to see if that's going to be Clippers of

878
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: the Wolves versus the Grizzlies in the three thirty slot.

879
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: Now you got Raptor sixers. Oh my god, six pm start,

880
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: what's going on? I love it? And we've got the

881
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: Nuggets Warriors wrapping up that day one of the NBA

882
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: Playoffs at eight thirty pm Eastern, and then the one

883
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: we know on Sunday it's Bulls Bucks, though of course

884
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: that is to be decided time wise and network wise.

885
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: Try and figure out where they're slotting at. So Trey,

886
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: we know this is what we know, right? We know Bucks,

887
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: Bulls three six with Sixers, Raptors four five, Warriors, Nuggets

888
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: three six, and MAVs Jazz four or five of those

889
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: four locked in? Which one intrigues you the most as

890
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: we get ready for the weekend.

891
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 4: Well, three of the four of those series sound pretty tight.

892
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 4: Skeets and I'm obviously most excited for the guaranteed blowout,

893
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 4: but your mileage may vary. The most intriguing though easily

894
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 4: Sixers versus Raptors. No one has more questions to answer

895
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 4: than Philadelphia going into the postseason. They made the big

896
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 4: trade for James Harden. He has his own playoff baggage

897
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 4: in the past, alongside everything that's gone on with the

898
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 4: Sixers in the past five seasons. Basically, also, Philadelphia got

899
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 4: the matchup they could not have wanted because the Raptors

900
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 4: are deeper, they're more athletic, and they're better coach. But

901
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 4: the Sixers do have Joel Embiid and James Harden. So

902
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 4: the first question to me is how many minutes is

903
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 4: and be gonna be able to play? Because he's dominant

904
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 4: when he's on twenty nine points eleven rebounds per game,

905
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 4: and the Sixers win those minutes, but he's not going

906
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 4: to play forty eight minutes a night. Probably. It's also

907
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 4: the first round of the playoffs and they're trying to

908
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 4: win the title, which means James Harden's really going to

909
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 4: need to play to his capabilities. Maybe a week off

910
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 4: will be beneficial to him to get a little bit

911
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 4: of his burst back, but he's going to have a

912
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: tough go of things playing against a bunch of switchy,

913
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 4: long active defenders in the Raptors. He also throw in

914
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 4: the matist Thaibal wrinkle. We know he's not gonna be

915
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,959
Speaker 4: able to play Games three and four in Toronto, which

916
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 4: means Pascal Siakam is probably going to be running wild

917
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 4: once again, because I doubt Doc Rivers wants to have

918
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 4: Joel Embiid guarding him for the entirety of the series.

919
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 4: So this one kind of feels like a toss up.

920
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows.

921
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 4: It's basically comes down to can the Raptors outscore the

922
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 4: Sixers enough when Joel Embiid is sitting Maybe they can?

923
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, tass, I assume this is the one that's got

924
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: you salivating the most here, especially as a Raptors fan.

925
00:42:58,600 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: A potential upset here in a five.

926
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm most concerned with Trey getting home for a

927
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: Game three. They're a schedule on Sunday now for Game one.

928
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 2: That really throws things in a in a flox there

929
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 2: for Trey. When's he gonna go home for Game three? Yeah? Yeah,

930
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: yeah home? Yeah. As far as I'm concerned for you too, Skeets.

931
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 2: When are you going home for Game three? It's a

932
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 2: Saturday game one six o'clock.

933
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 3: That's so easy to get to, Skeats. You cannot, That is.

934
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: An easy time to get to. You're right, I mean

935
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 1: you're flying Saturday morning if you want.

936
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 2: No problem to Philly.

937
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but oh yeah yeah good.

938
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 2: Hey guys, they're on the road. Guys. Uh but but right,

939
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 2: but listen, Raps fans should go bonkers. Uh they've gone

940
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: bonkers all season long because they say their team gets

941
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: no respect and it's already starting. Squill O'Neil and TNT said,

942
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: the Sixers are going to win in a sweep? What

943
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 2: the is that? What is that? Rappers fans?

944
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: Something that hasn't watched a single Raptors game this season is.

945
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 2: Right, and a lot of America hasn't and and and

946
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: that's what Raptors fans always say. And they've got a

947
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 2: point in this case. Sometimes they get a little over zealous.

948
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: We're not getting the calls.

949
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 2: We're playing five Verst State well right now, they are

950
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: not getting any sort of appreciation. The Raps just dismantled

951
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 2: the Sixers. They beat them in the non embedd minutes,

952
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: as Tray said, and he just got to play a

953
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 2: ton and you know, if he plays forty five minutes,

954
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: if he can, if Harden can help him with when

955
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: he sits at the very least, and help them when

956
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 2: they're out there together, then the Sixers should be the favorites.

957
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,399
Speaker 2: There's no way in hell I'm taking them. But yeah,

958
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: there's there's a bunch of factors that, as Tray said,

959
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: there's so many questions. Mattis s Thaibel can't play on

960
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: the road. He would be phenomenal against Pascal Siakam to,

961
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: even though he's smaller than Sakham To at least try

962
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: and slow him down, because the Sixers had to resort

963
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: to putting Joel Embiat on Siakam and that just hurts

964
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: their overall defense. Anyways, I know we'll get into breaking

965
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: this series down, but just first feelings, you gotta be

966
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: pissed if you're a Raptors fan, But then take a

967
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: step back and say, we didn't have og Ananobi, we

968
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: didn't have Fred van Vliet in that game that they

969
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,959
Speaker 2: just beat the Sixers. So they've got to feel good

970
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: at throwing not only og at Harden, but Siakam and

971
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: then some Scottie Barnes, even some Fred just to peeve

972
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: him off, to get underneath him, and yeah it can

973
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 2: harden just yeah, reboot and say, oh my burst is back.

974
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean potentially he could be just you know, passing

975
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: off the last couple months for these moments. But yeah,

976
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: he's he's he's the key if he if he decides

977
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 2: to be a twenty five point scorer, then the Raps

978
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 2: are just gonna have a hard time keeping up. But

979
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: they have so many weapons and at slowing him down

980
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: and making him look like he doesn't have that burst.

981
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 2: So it's, uh, it's gonna be fun.

982
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. Raptors six Ers Part Part three, let's call it that,

983
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: go all the way back to the iverson Vince Dates

984
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: and then of course the uh kawhi shot in the

985
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: corner to eliminate the Sixers in their championship.

986
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: Bro Raps don't have many teams that they've played three

987
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 2: times in the playoffs. They haven't been to the playoffs

988
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 2: very many times. The Nets, how many times it's been

989
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 2: the Nets just twice?

990
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: Sounds right?

991
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 2: Oh?

992
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: Well, Brooklyn, they played Brooklyn down in the bubble and

993
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 3: they played them.

994
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: Oh oh, yeah, Yeah, didn't they.

995
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: Play them now series twice?

996
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: There, so three times I care? So this is number three?

997
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: Three for it might be number three. We have not

998
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 2: been on fire today, Massau Jeri has said f the

999
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: nets at least at least twice.

1000
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: So Lee and tast said it just for everybody joining

1001
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: us here live and listening, like, we are going to

1002
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: do some deep dives and make our predictions for these series.

1003
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: But we have all week to play with some of

1004
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: these and we got a lot of shows to fill,

1005
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 1: so we don't need to do it all here today.

1006
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: But is there a series let's go to the West? Yeah?

1007
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: Of those two series that we know, be it Warriors

1008
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: Nuggets and Maps Jazz, which I think both look pretty

1009
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: great on paper, and there's some questions are surrounding a

1010
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: few both of those series. Which one intrigues you the

1011
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: most in the Western.

1012
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: Gas well, I think the Mavericks Jazz now because Luka

1013
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: Doncic's health is under a bit of a cloud right now.

1014
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 3: He's strained a calf yesterday and according to in Street Clothes,

1015
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 3: this sort of injury and again we don't know the

1016
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 3: full extent of the injury right now, could potentially take

1017
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 3: sixteen days for him to come back. Now he gets

1018
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of an advantage here because usually the playoffs,

1019
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 3: the season ends on a Wednesday, and they playoff start

1020
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: on a Saturday. Well, they ended on a Sunday and

1021
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 3: they don't start until a Sunday now here for the

1022
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 3: oh no, it is Saturday. Sorry for the MAVs and Jazz.

1023
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: So he's going to have a few extra days here

1024
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 3: to at least get ready and potentially play. But that

1025
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 3: obviously casts a huge shadow over this series. If Luca

1026
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 3: can't play for the first two, maybe three games, then

1027
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 3: surely the Jazz that's the sort of luck they need

1028
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 3: to be able to get out there and get ahead

1029
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 3: and potentially go out and win this series, because I

1030
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 3: think with Lucer on the court, I'd be shocked if

1031
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 3: anyone's picking the Jazz based on several factors. The Jazz

1032
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 3: have just been so bad in the last half of

1033
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 3: this season. If they gave up a huge deficit or

1034
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: blew a huge lead here to the Phoenix Suns in

1035
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 3: a game that really didn't mean anything on Friday Night,

1036
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 3: and they were bad there. So they've also had some

1037
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 3: questionable playoff performances themselves in the last two seasons blowing

1038
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 3: leads against the Clippers and the Denver Nuggets. There's obviously

1039
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: speculation about the relationship there between Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell,

1040
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 3: and then Quinn Snyder's futures up in the air as well.

1041
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 3: So this is the sort of thing the Jazz need

1042
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 3: a little bit of luck to go their way where

1043
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: they can maybe take advantage of another team that has

1044
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 3: got an injury. Now for the Mavericks, even if Luca plays,

1045
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: they have some questions as to whether or not they're

1046
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 3: going to get enough help from him, because he's been

1047
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 3: great in the two playoff series that he's played, average

1048
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: thirty seven a game against the Clippers last season, but

1049
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 3: they blew a two ozer lead, they blew a three

1050
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 3: to two lead to the Clippers, and couldn't win at

1051
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: home to knock the Clippers out last season, and I

1052
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 3: think part of the reason was they just didn't have

1053
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 3: enough help. Boobahn was maybe their second best player in

1054
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 3: the end of that series, which is not a good

1055
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 3: sign there for the Mavericks. But Spencer Dinwood, he's come over,

1056
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 3: He's been brilliant since he came over in the trade

1057
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 3: and he's the sort of ball handler create a guy

1058
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: who can get his own shot. He's had a couple

1059
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 3: of game winners. He stepped up and really helped out.

1060
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 3: But is guys like Finny Smith and Dwight Powell can

1061
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 3: they raise their game to the level they need in

1062
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 3: the playoffs because they have been better in the second

1063
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 3: half of the season here, but we haven't seen it

1064
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. So I think this series is fascinating.

1065
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 3: Of course, if Luca is in any sort of way,

1066
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 3: not one hundred percent, then I think it tilted back

1067
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 3: towards the Jazz. But if he is fine, if this

1068
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 3: is only a minor injury, and he's able to go,

1069
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 3: certainly in Game one or two, then I'll be taking

1070
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 3: the Jazz. I'll be taking the MAVs in that series.

1071
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 3: They have got home court advantage as well.

1072
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,760
Speaker 1: This is a man that just got.

1073
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 4: Another Belba.

1074
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 3: Well he was I remember bobun started and I was like, actually,

1075
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 3: he was better than Paul Zincas last year in the

1076
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 3: in that series. So you know, Boba's still on that team.

1077
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 3: He's a big playoff performer. I mean, maybe he gets

1078
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 3: Rudy yet to handful of minutes.

1079
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

1080
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's not the way one. Yeah, they're just

1081
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,240
Speaker 3: going small these days. But but look for the Utah Jazz.

1082
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 3: They will be honestly hoping and praying that Luca is

1083
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 3: at least hobbled in this series because they desperately need

1084
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 3: to win this first round series if they don't expect

1085
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 3: big changes in Utah.

1086
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: Back to Bucks Bulls that three to six matchup, Trey,

1087
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: you know you're the Bulls fan. Of course, you haven't

1088
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: beat the Bucks since twenty seventeen. I think, is how

1089
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: far December twenty sixth crazy?

1090
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,760
Speaker 4: That was my wedding anniversary. I've been married twenty seventeen.

1091
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 4: I guess I would have been married nine years. So

1092
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 4: Laura and I were just celebrating that, you know, that

1093
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 4: huge win over the Box, not knowing that it would

1094
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 4: be another four years afterwards that they can't get a web.

1095
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: That's amazing. What did you think of or what's your

1096
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: take on Milwaukee was duck in the nets this weekend

1097
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: with you know, sitting a lot of their guys losing

1098
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: their game basically on purpose letting the Celtics jump them

1099
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: to take the two seed, or you know, you see

1100
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: some Bucks fans. I know, Ziggy one of them in

1101
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: our stream team saying no, that's what Bud does. It

1102
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: was a three and four night situation. Get the guy's rest.

1103
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: They're not really worried about anybody. They've won the championship

1104
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: as a three seats. What's your what's your take on

1105
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: all of this, especially with your team being the one

1106
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: everybody wants to play.

1107
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 4: Hey, you get what you ask for. Bubble Bulls are

1108
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 4: bringing Dune Levy back? Can they get Yanna shaken in

1109
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 4: his boots?

1110
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1111
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think the Bucks were duck in anybody.

1112
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 4: I don't think the Bucks are scared of anybody, you know.

1113
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 4: I think that they are capable of beating the Nets

1114
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 4: whenever they play them. Whether that I don't even really

1115
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 4: understand what the argument would because they're gonna still have

1116
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 4: home court advantage whenever they face the Nets. They just

1117
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 4: gotta beat them at some point, and the Bucks to me,

1118
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 4: will still be favorites then. So yeah, I mean, we'll

1119
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 4: get into our playoff previous of the Bulls. But I

1120
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 4: just hope they win the game. I simply hope they

1121
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 4: win the game, and I hope it's game three.

1122
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Uh this is fun. Also happening in the stream,

1123
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: team Courtney Barnes jumps in to say, what's up? Just

1124
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: tuning in for a minute while waiting to get called

1125
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: back to the operating room for a C section. I

1126
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 1: get a son today. Wow, yeah, s muzzled top. Congratulations

1127
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: and I hope it goes well. And uh, you know,

1128
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: people are wondering do we get to name the baby? Yeah?

1129
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 3: We should?

1130
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, were we going with Hank?

1131
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 4: Gotta Gary?

1132
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 1: It's gotta be Gary. Yeah, Gary Barnes.

1133
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 4: Get the stats up. Gary Barnes one of the best

1134
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 4: bowlers for Australia's cricket team back in the nineteen eighties.

1135
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, Oh Barnes.

1136
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like Barnes. Okay, I can't believe by

1137
00:52:56,160 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: named Gary. Anything else to add task to any of

1138
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: these series that we, you know, maybe haven't touched on.

1139
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: You know, the Warriors Nuggets one is interesting too, because

1140
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: we don't know Steph Curry's status in that series. It's

1141
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 1: it's still up in the air whether when he's playing

1142
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: in it. I guess I assume he's returning at some point,

1143
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: but is it for Game one?

1144
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 2: Go aheadly, I know you got a tidbits.

1145
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 3: Well, mine's actually back to the Raptors Sixer series, skeets.

1146
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if you saw Zilla's an email this morning,

1147
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 3: the newsletter. Yeah, the newsletter.

1148
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's not a personal email too, each it

1149
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: feels like it, Yeah, it does. No, I don't think

1150
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: I did.

1151
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 3: Well, there's a little line in here that might intrigue

1152
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 3: you a little bit. It comes from the Sixers Raptors

1153
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 3: series and it says the Raptors have no one in

1154
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 3: serious all NBA consideration.

1155
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,959
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's interesting, very interesting, that's very interesting. That's straight

1156
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: up wrong.

1157
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1158
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 1: I was very surprised.

1159
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 3: Zilla's usually on top of absolutely everything in this league.

1160
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 3: I was very surprised. Maybe it was just an overslide oversight.

1161
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 1: Okay, fascinating tidbit. Well, that's a nicer you know what,

1162
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: way to set me up? Actually, because I wanted to

1163
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: give everybody here listening and joining us live sort of

1164
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: the breakdown of what we're doing this week. So on

1165
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow show, we'll do the play in previews and predictions

1166
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: for the other two games, because we've already talked about

1167
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: the two on Tomorrow night, which is the Cavs Nets

1168
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: and the Clippers Wolves. Then on tomorrow show we'll talk

1169
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: about the Hornets, Hawks. It's first Pelicans, so we will

1170
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: predict those and preview those tomorrow. I on tomorrow show, Leady,

1171
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: this is you set me up nicely here with that

1172
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: Ziller tidbit. I'll be doing my ten all NBA teams tomorrow.

1173
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: I sat down last night. I put way too much

1174
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: time and effort into this. It's ridiculous. Then I had

1175
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,439
Speaker 1: a guy on Twitter like making me rethink where I've

1176
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 1: got Aaron Gordon. Oh God, maybe I do have to

1177
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: have him on the tenth team. I thought he was gone.

1178
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh it's tough. It's tough. It's very difficult when I

1179
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: get down to my eighth, ninth, and tenth teams. So yes,

1180
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: the ten all NBA Sico teams. I'll share those with

1181
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow and you can get all upset. And

1182
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of snubs, so don't worry. On

1183
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: Wednesday's show, we'll recap the first two playing games from

1184
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: the night before, and we'll start doing our deep dive

1185
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: on the actual playoff matchups. Because we'll talk about we'll

1186
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: be able to talk about the Celtics versus the number

1187
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: seven team, which we'll know bea Cavs or Nets, and

1188
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk more in detail and make our predictions for

1189
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks Bowls and for the Sixers Raptors. On Thursday

1190
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: show similar idea will recap the other two playing games

1191
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 1: from the night before, we'll do our playoff and previous

1192
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: and predictions for the West Series, including the Grizzlies versus

1193
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: the number seven team, whoever we find out that is,

1194
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: and then on Friday's drop we'll preview and predict the

1195
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 1: final two playing games for that Friday night. We'll set

1196
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: you up deciding who's going to be the eighth seeds,

1197
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: and we'll just tackle some big questions about the NBA

1198
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: playoffs in general. All of that coming this week in

1199
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 1: addition to new No Breaks Tray tomorrow. Is that correct?

1200
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 4: That's right, buddy, Australian GP. You watch it last yesterday,

1201
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 4: Leave last yesterday?

1202
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 3: Backing out, I'm catching up. I was on the plane yesterday.

1203
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was a pretty exciting one. I know that.

1204
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 2: Spicy, very spacy.

1205
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: So that's No Breaks and then we've gotten New Survivor

1206
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: No Bufs coming on Thursday, which is we got a

1207
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: two hour episode this week on Wednesday, which is which

1208
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: is very difficult because we might be going down to

1209
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: the fortress for a hocksky if anybody can get these tickets,

1210
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 1: you got to keep refreshing, refreshing.

1211
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1212
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 3: Now that I'm back in the US, I can actually

1213
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,399
Speaker 3: access ticketmasters website, so that's that's good to know. Yeah,

1214
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 3: it wouldn't work while you were there, very very weird.

1215
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah any any uh, you know, fun things to share

1216
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: with us in the last couple of days in Aruba

1217
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: of your vacation.

1218
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It was pretty good. Very very windy.

1219
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 3: I have mentioned that before. Extremely windy down there, but

1220
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 3: also okay, see what's yes, but great place. And I

1221
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 3: just had a fan actually just DM meat this morning

1222
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 3: and said, hey, you want to go and get some

1223
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 3: buckets while we're down there, But missed him. I missed him,

1224
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 3: so it couldn't happen. Unfortunate. I would have loved to

1225
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 3: have gotten some buckets down there in Aruba. But yeah,

1226
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 3: great place, great country, very nice people, highly women. Yeah,

1227
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 3: just a little windy.

1228
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: But top to shoot around.

1229
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1230
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have made it even more fun, though,

1231
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,959
Speaker 3: wouldn't it. You know, I wonder how the I wonder

1232
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 3: if they're good at driving inside the Urubens, I don't

1233
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 3: think they'd have too many. Probably don't have like great

1234
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 3: jump shots, you know.

1235
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it may be some there may be some double rooms.

1236
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: Out there too.

1237
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. The weather, yeah, those out door chorts, it may

1238
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: be tough. Yeah, okay, great.

1239
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm very excited. I just want to

1240
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 3: pitch a little again to No Breaks tomorrow. Very excited

1241
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 3: for my appearance there because the Grand Prix and Melbourne.

1242
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 3: You do know how many like Melbournie and men just

1243
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 3: want to talk about the Grand Prix as if it's

1244
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: ours and we own it and like, you know, like

1245
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 3: because if everyone's driven around the track, it's like a

1246
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 3: street track, you know, they close it off for the

1247
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 3: race and so you know before in the week's leading up,

1248
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 3: the cops just get so many people speeding around the

1249
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 3: tracks because everyone's just ripping aroun out in the car

1250
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 3: thinking there, yeah, yeah, it's awesome. So oh the petrol

1251
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 3: heads come out, it's great, it's great.

1252
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 4: It's gonna be our first questions talking all about Melbourne.

1253
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 4: Apparently this was the biggest sporting event in Australian history.

1254
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 4: That's crazy to me.

1255
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: When the weekend. Yeah, I think they said like four

1256
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people or something attended over the three days.

1257
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: So well, get the biggest events, I think, because I.

1258
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 3: Don't think I think Adelaide even had bigger crowds back

1259
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 3: in the eighties and nineties. I think this may be

1260
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 3: is the biggest Melbourne Grownd Prix crowd and also the tennis.

1261
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure the tennis has had bigger crowds than that

1262
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 3: over the two weeks there. But anyway, this is great.

1263
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 4: Tomorrow we're counting down the top ten attended events in

1264
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 4: Australian history, including Lee's performance in the Grand Final.

1265
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, so yes there's there is the week

1266
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,479
Speaker 1: but for you, uh not you petrol heads, you NBA heads,

1267
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 1: you hoopsheads. Tomorrow will do the play in pre Us.

1268
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: Some predictions for Hornet's Hawks and Spurs Pelicans. We gotta

1269
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: take one more break when we come back. Very fun,

1270
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: tweeted the night. Speaking of movies on TV, I've started

1271
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: noticing that Weekend at Bernie's is on a lot. I

1272
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: think it's like it's back in the in the zeitgeist.

1273
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: I tell you, it's really strange to me. I love it.

1274
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite movies.

1275
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 2: But people just referenced it so much that they're like.

1276
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent convinced. I don't remember this ever

1277
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: seeing this in the Guy, and now I see it

1278
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: all the time weekend of Bernie's. So we should do

1279
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: a film session for a weekend a Bernie's.

1280
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 3: Okay, make a weekend of Bernie's too as well.

1281
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah I believe so, yeah, yeah, I don't think I

1282
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: saw it though, still dead though spoiler. Uh, let's get

1283
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: to tweeted the.

1284
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 2: Night, tweet out the night.

1285
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, I've got tweeting the night here. It's actually

1286
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: a video from at bleacher Report, but I will describe

1287
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: what's happening for everybody listening. Drew Holiday started Milwaukee's lost

1288
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: to Cleveland on Sunday, his sixty seventh game played this season.

1289
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: But he didn't stick around for long because seconds after

1290
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: the opening tip, Holiday intentionally fouled Darius Cartland exited the game.

1291
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: You see him go off to the bench and he

1292
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: never came back, and he gets a little standing out

1293
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: from the Bucks players. So why Well, a lot of

1294
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: you listening or watching to this, you guys are sick

1295
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,479
Speaker 1: of so you know, but Holiday's game total sixty seven

1296
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: games played. It triggered a three hundred thousand dollars plus

1297
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: bonus in his contract, and so him just playing Lee

1298
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: in that sixty seventh game, you know, they don't want

1299
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: to risk an injury to him. Obviously, got a big

1300
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: series coming up against the Bulls, and he got it

1301
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: eight seconds boom, he's out.

1302
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1303
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: And we see this from time to time, these like

1304
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: either yeah, points, you got a hit or rebounds assists

1305
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: games played. But this one, this one's very It's really

1306
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: funny to me because it's like, couldn't the Bucks and

1307
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe they can't because of the CBA, but couldn't they

1308
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: just say, hey, we're just gonna give it to you. Yeah,

1309
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: sixty six, sixty six games close enough to sixty seven,

1310
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: we're good. Well, you know a little addendum on that.

1311
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: But Insteady goes in there. I don't know, strange.

1312
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 3: That's what I thought, too, is like, why go through

1313
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 3: all that in the incredibly unlikely chance that he would

1314
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 3: roll his ankle or something, because he probably warmed up

1315
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 3: in that, Why don't just say, Cloison, that's good enough,

1316
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 3: we'll give you. We'll give you three hundred thousand instead

1317
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 3: of three hundred and six. What I bet that we'll

1318
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 3: cut it off the sixth Wow.

1319
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean maybe they maybe they can't.

1320
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 2: They like, yeah, I.

1321
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 3: Guess again legally can probably possible.

1322
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: But funny moment.

1323
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Asks wonderful moment. Yeah, it's one of those where this

1324
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: team that won a championship can say three hundred k,

1325
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 2: no big deal with the smile on their face. But

1326
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 2: if it was a poopy team and a cheap owner,

1327
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:04,919
Speaker 2: three hundred k might be a little anger from the owner.

1328
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 2: But in this instance, they're doing it with a huge

1329
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 2: smile on their face, and Yannis was pomping them up.

1330
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 2: Really excited, the whole bench really excited, especially because it's

1331
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday, a guy that everyone loves. But yeah, this

1332
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 2: this trade that we often talk about, a lot of

1333
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: draft picks, a lot of capital traded for Drew turned

1334
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 2: out to be a well well worth it. Three hundred

1335
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:26,479
Speaker 2: k on top, no big deal.

1336
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: Chris is a little confusedly, not that one stupid streamer Lee.

1337
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: He is not injuring his ankle going up to grab

1338
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: someone at a quarter speed. I think you meant in

1339
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: warm up, he said, warm up?

1340
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Come on, Chris, Yes, anything can happen Glenn McGrath rolled

1341
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 3: his ankle just before the second test of the Ashes

1342
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 3: in two thousand and five, knocked him out for the series.

1343
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 3: Australia lost for the first time in twenty years. Crazy

1344
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 3: things can happen.

1345
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Man, in your face, Chris your face face.

1346
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 3: For three hundred grand I mean, what's what's true Holiday

1347
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 3: earned in his career. He's he's like, he must have

1348
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 3: earned like two hundred and fifty million in his career.

1349
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you know he's gonna eat that three hundred

1350
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 3: thousand more. Maybe it's in the contract, that's what there's money. Also,

1351
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 3: I think it ends up costing the Bucks even more

1352
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 3: than that.

1353
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Because of.

1354
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 4: Luxury tax.

1355
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 1: Over the luxury tax, yeah, I think it's like, I

1356
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: think it might be over a million dollars. It ends

1357
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: up costing them there maybe in addition to the rebound

1358
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: thing stuff like that.

1359
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 4: But anyway, good point here by Ziggy NBA is watching

1360
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 4: the Bucks like a hawk. They got hit with a

1361
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 4: tampering fine not too long ago. They had the problems

1362
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 4: with trying to sign Bogdan Bogdanovic. They lost some draft

1363
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 4: picks for that one, so they got to do it

1364
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 4: by the book here. But skeets should have just weekend

1365
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 4: at Bernie's them have Giannis and Brook Lopez just like

1366
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,919
Speaker 4: carry Drew Holiday out there for the tip he's wearing

1367
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 4: glasses on.

1368
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 2: Why not?

1369
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 4: Why not?

1370
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: I do love the clip too, because you can tell

1371
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: that Drew has told Garland I think in advance, like

1372
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: before They're like, I'm gonna come up and wrap you

1373
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 1: up here. I'm not. I'm not playing really tonight. I'm

1374
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: just playing to get my bonus. It feels like that

1375
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: to me and Garland because Garland's laughing as Drew starts approaching.

1376
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 3: It's like, oh damn, he knew he should have shut

1377
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 3: the free at least and then then right, you know,

1378
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 3: go to the line.
