Speaker 1: On this episode of the eight check We've got a
Speaker 1: loaded midweek show. Baby, We get into the looming disaster
Speaker 1: in Lakerland. Yeah, it's disappointing and delightful to say at
Speaker 1: the same time, Rob Plank, are you to blame? We
Speaker 1: talk about Tyrese Halliburton's recent thirty games slump. Aunt Edwards,
Speaker 1: is that the best dunk we've ever seen in our
Speaker 1: goddamn lights? In game he literally dislocated his finger and
Speaker 1: broke John Collins his brain, all with the swoop of
Speaker 1: one ridiculous dunk. Speaking of injuries, we get into more
Speaker 1: of those from around the league. We also must on
Speaker 1: the show talk about DeAndre Ayden's air mattress confession a debacle.
Speaker 1: It was, Anthony, let's get into it. Drop that motherfucker
Speaker 1: beat the should be Rhana crash, boom boom. What's that sound?
Speaker 1: That is the Lakers hitting squarely into a wall at
Speaker 1: the worst possible time of the season. Not only are
Speaker 1: the Lakers seven and six and the last thirteen and
Speaker 1: one and two in their last three, but here's where
Speaker 1: it gets better, folks. The Houston Rockets, who we talked about. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think last show still hot, still very very hot
Speaker 1: seven and one in their last day and breathing down
Speaker 1: their necks for that ten spot, that final play in appearance.
Speaker 1: But that is not why we're talking about them today.
Speaker 1: No friend to show Bill Ryder dropped this bombshell this morning.
Speaker 1: Sources tell CBS Sports that Los Angeles Lakers players Christian Wood,
Speaker 1: Jared Venerable, and Gabe Benson will miss the rest of
Speaker 1: the season, while Jared Vanderbilt still could return. Sots of
Speaker 1: say the expectation is that that will not happen. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: that is awful news for a team that is reeling
Speaker 1: right now, a team that could use these players at
Speaker 1: some point, and with ad just coming back from a scratch, Cornya,
Speaker 1: things are not amazing. The crazy thing is that the
Speaker 1: Lakers have basically been just bread crumbing up pretty much
Speaker 1: all season. Like remember who was it last year? We
Speaker 1: can't fully judge this Laker team until until Kendrick Nunn plays.
Speaker 1: We can't judge this team until we see what Kendrick
Speaker 1: Nunn is like in the lineup. Gave Vincent is the
Speaker 1: new Kendrick Nun of the LA light Lakers. It became
Speaker 1: a joke. Can't judge this team till Kendrick Nunn is
Speaker 1: in the lineup here we are and they were just
Speaker 1: being cagey. Oh, Gay Vincent's coming back return is imminent.
Speaker 1: We kept hearing the return is right around the corner.
Speaker 1: They kept showing us videos at practice of Gabe Vincent
Speaker 1: somehow getting upset shots from eighteen feet. The truth is
Speaker 1: Christian was as several weeks of rehab after getting surgery
Speaker 1: on his left knee before he can hit the court again.
Speaker 1: Van Doh may return, just like he likes to return
Speaker 1: all of his clothes that he gets from his private shopper,
Speaker 1: but there's no certainty to it whether just like there's
Speaker 1: no certainty as to whether he'll pay. And they have
Speaker 1: seemed to be teasing Gabe Vincent coming back for months,
Speaker 1: and he does not seem to be close to seeing
Speaker 1: the court in a game situation, even though they keep
Speaker 1: telling us he's cleared for on court work. He has
Speaker 1: played all of five games this year. Honestly, that's five
Speaker 1: games more than I remember. Not gonna lie to you
Speaker 1: all this underscore is just how awful the trade deadline
Speaker 1: was for the Lakers, which brings me around relate to
Speaker 1: my point, why is Rob Polenka just unscathed at the
Speaker 1: job that he has done for the Lakers. He pulled
Speaker 1: a rabbit out of his hat last deadline, got the
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals appearance out of it by being a
Speaker 1: very banged up Grizzlies team and then taking out a
Speaker 1: Golden State team on their last legs. They were literally
Speaker 1: coughing dust before getting swept to the Denver Nuggets in
Speaker 1: what they call the most respectable sweep in NBA history history,
Speaker 1: the most competitive sweep in NBA history. And then this
Speaker 1: year the Lakers Big three of Braun Ad and d Low.
Speaker 1: Do you know, you know what this team reminds me
Speaker 1: of The Lakers sort of remind me of what the
Speaker 1: Warriors did after they somehow won the title. Right, they
Speaker 1: knew Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins like and the rest
Speaker 1: of these like schmucks shouldn't be extended, right, You shouldn't
Speaker 1: be rolling these dudes back out. You knew midway through
Speaker 1: that season and they weren't the ones, but then they
Speaker 1: had to pay them. They're the Eastern Conference Finals team
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Hawks, where it's like John Collins, DeAndre Hunter,
Speaker 1: bog Don Bogdanovich, and it's like we know these dudes
Speaker 1: are not the ones, but we went to the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference finals, so we kind of had to pay them.
Speaker 1: So then they roll out the same team the Lakers
Speaker 1: ruey Hachi Mura they paid, uh d Lo gets paid,
Speaker 1: Tory and Prince comes back and you're like, still no shooters,
Speaker 1: but I guess, and they still refuse to go out
Speaker 1: and get a buddy Healed who could have opened up
Speaker 1: spacing for Lebron James three years ago and they didn't
Speaker 1: do it. Then they haven't done it now. All of
Speaker 1: this is Rob Polinka's fault. Here's the nail in the
Speaker 1: scouting coffin, because we could use some guys that could
Speaker 1: play some basketball right now, some young legs, some cheap legs.
Speaker 1: According to our very own Anthony Irwin. Shout out to
Speaker 1: my guy, Anthony Irwin for basically writing this segment for
Speaker 1: me of the Lakers lounge. Polenka whiffed on the draft
Speaker 1: not once, but twice. Here is what Anthony Irwin said,
Speaker 1: love him. According to sources, a consensus pick for the
Speaker 1: Lakers was Kobe Buffkin. When he was selected fifteenth by
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers had to scramble so as
Speaker 1: to say, the scouting department preferred Whitmore once Buffkin was
Speaker 1: off the board, but Polenkas and others higher up in
Speaker 1: the organization Akay Linda Rambis and Kurt Rambas and probably
Speaker 1: Genie Buss, we're concerned about his medicals. Polenka having seen
Speaker 1: this is my favorite part. Polinka having seen Hood Chaffino
Speaker 1: play well in the Big Ten Conference tournament, saw something
Speaker 1: special and made his final decision. There's just so much
Speaker 1: to unpack here. First of all, Kobe Buffkin at the
Speaker 1: top of your big board was a choice when you're
Speaker 1: drafting seventeenth. That is mal Feastins. He has been not
Speaker 1: very good for the for the Hawks since he arrived,
Speaker 1: and some people might even call him a bust. He
Speaker 1: is just chucking down in the G League. His his
Speaker 1: literal upside ceiling comp is a man that is considered
Speaker 1: the most overpaid player and the lowest net rating player
Speaker 1: in the NBA right now. Jordan Poole, that was his
Speaker 1: absolute upside. Jordan Poole. Kobe Buffkin. He is chucking to
Speaker 1: the tune of twenty three point six per game on
Speaker 1: twenty shots per game, one point one eight points per shot.
Speaker 1: The league average is one point one five. This is
Speaker 1: the G League that we're talking about, So this is
Speaker 1: like hitting two point fifty. It's like right above the
Speaker 1: Mendoza line in the minors. Fam you're not good enough
Speaker 1: right now, You're not good enough. Buffkins played all nine
Speaker 1: games this season, despite the fact that Trey Young has
Speaker 1: been gone for the year. Since the All Star break,
Speaker 1: the tanking Hawks brought in fucking Paddy Mills over Kobe Buffkin.
Speaker 1: They said, this man's been sitting on the bench in
Speaker 1: his no, this man, Paddy Mills been sitting on the
Speaker 1: couch in his tube socks, eating lace. And they said,
Speaker 1: we'd rather have him anyway. It's not like other people
Speaker 1: didn't see the flaws in Kobe Buffkin. John Hollings, your
Speaker 1: friend of the show, said this at the Summer League.
Speaker 1: Buffkin having to run the offense every place seemed to
Speaker 1: really slow him down. You could almost hear the gears
Speaker 1: cranking at times as he got and thought through the
Speaker 1: pick and roll. Read Buffkins stats also took a blow,
Speaker 1: shooting four for twenty nine from three. He needs to
Speaker 1: improve as a shooter, but mostly his numbers are bad
Speaker 1: due to small sample vary. I'd be more troubled by
Speaker 1: the multiple finishes that were swatted at the rim, again
Speaker 1: caused by him seeming to cruise through an opening too slowly.
Speaker 1: He was so bad that an anonymous Hawks executive told
Speaker 1: Friends of Show, we had a lot of friends of show.
Speaker 1: Ye know, a lot of fucking big ball NBA expert
Speaker 1: friends of show. Keith Smith from Spo Trek, somebody told
Speaker 1: him Kobe Buffkin needs to settle his ass down. The
Speaker 1: ass part was me, I bring all of this up
Speaker 1: because this was the dude that you were salivating at
Speaker 1: at seventeen on your big board, Rob, Rob. And to
Speaker 1: compound problems, when the Hawks reached for Buffkin at fifteen,
Speaker 1: not exactly the most stellar front office the Atlanta Hawks.
Speaker 1: As soon as Buffkin was taken by the Hawks, you
Speaker 1: knew you fucked up. You knew, oh, we're not seeing
Speaker 1: this entire board well. And then you don't have an
Speaker 1: answer immediately when your guy is taken, and your your
Speaker 1: answer is to take a guy you saw in the
Speaker 1: conference tournament play well once in the Big ten for Indiana,
Speaker 1: and we're like, yep, that's our guy, that's the kid
Speaker 1: we like. We saw him play well at the conference tournament.
Speaker 1: So yep, I like that Hood Shaffino kid hoo Chiafino
Speaker 1: currently averaging one point six points per game in twenty
Speaker 1: one games. Much of those games are in garbage time
Speaker 1: where even he looks overmatched there, folks, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I liked me also, Tristaicrik non GM non player evaluation
Speaker 1: expert like Hood Shaffino as well. I liked the band
Speaker 1: workout that they put a hit and put out of
Speaker 1: him on Bleacher Report. I was like, oh yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady's got the plasticity down. I like the
Speaker 1: fact that he could do a nice little downward face
Speaker 1: sing dog he had it down. Look at his look
Speaker 1: at his crow pos hoot Shafino. How does that translate
Speaker 1: into buckets for the LA Lakers. It doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 1: You know who would have been valuable at seventeen who
Speaker 1: was actually there? Heimi Hawkes, who went with the very
Speaker 1: next pick the Miami Heat, saw the Lakers right above
Speaker 1: them and said, there's no way this team is going
Speaker 1: to take who we want. That's you know, who cares
Speaker 1: that they got to the Western Conference finals. They don't
Speaker 1: know what they're fucking doing. They're over there just literally
Speaker 1: grabbing the wall blind, just trying to touch whatever comes
Speaker 1: their way. By the way, Jimi Hawk has played who
Speaker 1: do you play for? A again? Checks notes the UCLA Bruins. Uh,
Speaker 1: just a mere fifteen minutes from Rob Polinka's office, and
Speaker 1: he was like, Nah, I'm good on this guy. He's
Speaker 1: a senior. He was there for four years. You had
Speaker 1: him up close and personal for four years. He will
Speaker 1: make All rookie years the first year. He's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be an All Star at some point, and you missed him.
Speaker 1: You know what? Who else have helped Brandon Pajemski who
Speaker 1: just played up the five from the forum in I
Speaker 1: don't know, Santa Clara, Saint Mary's excuse me? He will
Speaker 1: also make the All Rookie team? Who else would have
Speaker 1: helped you? A guy that was actually slotted to go
Speaker 1: fourth at one point, Cam Whitmore and his medicals slid
Speaker 1: him to the same team that liked him at four
Speaker 1: with the twentieth pick. That Cam Whitmore is averaging twelve
Speaker 1: four to one in seventeen minutes a game, who is
Speaker 1: widely seen as an absolute steal. Palinka, what the fuck
Speaker 1: are you doing? Baby? If you miss the plan or
Speaker 1: you flame out without making the playoffs. Heads are gonna
Speaker 1: have the role and it won't start stop with Darvin
Speaker 1: uncured Ham, No, it will not. Polinka hired him. Polinka.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll be fired, but like the
Speaker 1: roars of the firing will be loud as they've ever
Speaker 1: been about. We move on to Tyrese Halliburton, all star
Speaker 1: point guard from the Indiana Pacers. Who is I have
Speaker 1: to say, and I don't really want to say it
Speaker 1: out loud, and I don't think anyone else wants to either,
Speaker 1: is that Tyrese Haliburton is going through it right now.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean going through defenders, I mean going
Speaker 1: through a slump. And it has been a fucking bismal
Speaker 1: to watch. Really, the numbers you don't want me to
Speaker 1: read them to you, six for thirty six from deep
Speaker 1: in his last five games, and that puts him in
Speaker 1: Jordan Poole territory, Miles Bridges territory is the only players
Speaker 1: to make six or a few threes on thirty six
Speaker 1: attempts or more during any five game span this season.
Speaker 1: I scalled what's colder than being called Hella Burton? Fuck dude.
Speaker 1: I hate saying it out loud. I really do. In
Speaker 1: his last twelve games, Haliburton has put up fifteen four
Speaker 1: and ten on forty percent from the field and nineteen
Speaker 1: percent from three. I'm sorry, guys, those are bad numbers.
Speaker 1: He was asked in the postgame presser after a five
Speaker 1: point loss to the mitchell Less Calves, where he went
Speaker 1: four for fourteen and one for nine from three. Hey,
Speaker 1: is something amiss? He said this. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: figure it out right now. Obviously it's frustrating. I've never
Speaker 1: went through a slump like this in my entire life,
Speaker 1: but it's all part of it figuring it out. It sucks.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got the answer, but it's about me figuring it out.
Speaker 1: So I've got to be better and I will be
Speaker 1: better moving forward. I just gotta be better. Point blank.
Speaker 1: It's clearly the delineation is the hamstring injury. Before it,
Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton was stacking up MVP level stats twenty four
Speaker 1: for four and fourteen on fifty forty and eighty seven
Speaker 1: After it, sixteen four and nine on forty four, twenty eight,
Speaker 1: oh my god, and eighty six from the free throw line.
Speaker 1: Getting worse actually, as a season winds down, slump city
Speaker 1: population Haliburton two different players. He was asked again about
Speaker 1: the slump and how he's been seeing a psychologist for
Speaker 1: some time, and he said this, not everybody cares how
Speaker 1: we feel taff the world. I'm just helping them make
Speaker 1: money on DraftKings. That's what my social media mostly consists of.
Speaker 1: I think it can be funny. Sometimes someone will tweet, Hey,
Speaker 1: I lost a thousand dollars because of you, and I'll
Speaker 1: give a fuck about that. That's why it's important for
Speaker 1: us to have conversations with people who value us as
Speaker 1: human beings. Can it be both? I'm sure he'll shoot
Speaker 1: his way out of this slump soon. Too good of
Speaker 1: a player, not too We've ben Mathron out for the season.
Speaker 1: Even more falls on Halle's shoulders offensively. He needs to
Speaker 1: figure out this shooting slum. Oh, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: quick exit in the postseason. I mean, this is not
Speaker 1: a great team right now, I'll say the Pacers a
Speaker 1: sad end to what was an incredible beginning of the
Speaker 1: year for our Indiana Pacers. We move on to some
Speaker 1: news from around the league, and that begins with Anthony Michael, Jeffrey,
Speaker 1: Jordan Edwards, who had one of the most incredible dunks
Speaker 1: in NBA history last night. So this is what happened.
Speaker 1: Ant swords down, soars down the lane, just ripping through
Speaker 1: John Collins. Doesn't make a business decision. He rises up
Speaker 1: to block Ant. That's a mistake. Maybe the most violent
Speaker 1: dunk I have ever seen with my own two eyes.
Speaker 1: Aunt slammed the ball down on the way down, dislocates
Speaker 1: his finger, dislocates John Collins's face, and puts Collins out
Speaker 1: for the game in what was thought to be a concussion. Dude,
Speaker 1: I've never seen anyone dunk on another human being that
Speaker 1: they needed to be removed from game action. Sham's tweeted
Speaker 1: this Utah's John Collins has suffered a head contusion from
Speaker 1: a play contesting Anthony edwards poster dunk tonight. Did he
Speaker 1: have to say? Hey, like, John Collins may not return
Speaker 1: dnp posterized sources say head injury but no concussion for Collins.
Speaker 1: Someone broke down the numbers on An Edwards's dunk. Here's
Speaker 1: what we got. This is it is crazy. Aunt Edward's
Speaker 1: vertical forty three point nine inches. It's the largest I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. Max ball height eleven point three nine feet.
Speaker 1: The hoop is ten feet and he was almost two
Speaker 1: feet higher than that. Take off distance ten point six
Speaker 1: feet away, ball speed through the rim, Here's where the
Speaker 1: concussion comes in twenty three point six miles per hour.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been hit with a basketball or a
Speaker 1: person going twenty three miles an hour? Maybe the funniest
Speaker 1: thing was set after the game. And it's not the
Speaker 1: part that I can't say out loud. You gotta google
Speaker 1: that yourself. When Aunt Edwards watched his own footage on
Speaker 1: TV and had to be bleeped out from YouTube, he
Speaker 1: said to a kid. Kid was like, hey, and I
Speaker 1: want your jersey, eh, And he goes, no, I gotta
Speaker 1: give it to John Collins. I love it. Edwards never
Speaker 1: changed lost in the absolute chaos of the dunk is
Speaker 1: that the fact that Aunt led the Wolves to a
Speaker 1: massive victory, going out for twenty five in the second
Speaker 1: half on thirty two, seven and seven with three stocks.
Speaker 1: He also set a Minnesota record for most three dy
Speaker 1: point games in a season with twenty seven. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: Minnesota could have had Steph Curry, but you took Johnny Flynn.
Speaker 1: Pretty damn good though he got it. Whatever's now. He
Speaker 1: immediately rose to sixth in the MVP betting conversation. If
Speaker 1: he continues to play like this, the Wolves are gonna
Speaker 1: be a problem in the playoffs. Even without contact. We
Speaker 1: had to get to some injury up dut Jake Well
Speaker 1: out in Philadelphia, Oh watch out. Jojo is thinking about
Speaker 1: returning second week of April at the latest. The hope
Speaker 1: is that he will be able to put a couple
Speaker 1: of games under his belt before he plays in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, folks, the Sixers are gonna be
Speaker 1: a devastating team for almost anyone six seven, eight seed.
Speaker 1: You don't want to see that. No one wants to
Speaker 1: see Nick Nurse and Jojo and my man Tyrese Maxi
Speaker 1: right now, and also Kelly Oubre It's now been six
Speaker 1: weeks since his surgery. He's tracking for a play off return.
Speaker 1: Encouraging news and very encouraging news for Philly. No such
Speaker 1: good news right now for the Knicks. Og and Andobi's
Speaker 1: comeback has been cut short. And I went against the
Speaker 1: Dubs that saw Brunson Strapp staph to the tune of
Speaker 1: four for thirteen from three, pretty damn good. Og went
Speaker 1: to the locker room with elbow discomfort, no reinjury, just inflammation.
Speaker 1: This is what the quote says. I'm told that Ognobi
Speaker 1: is going to be out more than just tonight. That
Speaker 1: right elbows flared up again. They need to calm it down.
Speaker 1: How long he's out is unclear, but certainly it's a
Speaker 1: concern for this next team. They don't know the status
Speaker 1: also of Julius Randall moving forward. The team is pretty
Speaker 1: much unbeatable with og on Nb on the court, fifteen
Speaker 1: to two, that's about as good as anybody splits are
Speaker 1: are they not like fifteen to two? And without Randall
Speaker 1: and Mitchell Robinson, we know what it is like. The
Speaker 1: Knicks struggle to defend the rim. They struggle to defend
Speaker 1: anything there, even though without Ogannoby they were holding teams
Speaker 1: like eighty points per game. The Knicks need to rest
Speaker 1: them though, until that elbow is completely healed and solid
Speaker 1: and no more inflammation. Also, there are some real bullshit
Speaker 1: reports going on. There are reports that he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to play through pain. The truth is Ognobi against the
Speaker 1: Blazers and against the Warriors and against the Kings was
Speaker 1: playing with like one arm, really, and he wants to play.
Speaker 1: But the knickstaff is being very cautious about it because
Speaker 1: why because they're fifteen and two with him in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to save those fifteen games for the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Out in Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell has missed ten of the
Speaker 1: last fifteen games. He will miss another week after having
Speaker 1: a procedure for a broken nose nasal fracture the calves.
Speaker 1: This is pretty much Jalen Brunson's status right here. The
Speaker 1: Calves are four and six in games he's missed. They're
Speaker 1: twenty one and four in the last twenty five games
Speaker 1: he's played, so they need to figure out a way
Speaker 1: to get him back. It is imperative that he gets
Speaker 1: back healthy for the playoffs, especially considering that they might
Speaker 1: end up playing the Sixers in the first round with
Speaker 1: Joe l Embiid fresh off of a nice eight to
Speaker 1: ten week stint of rest, which is when Joel Embiid
Speaker 1: is his best and finally, speak of health, DeAndre Ayton
Speaker 1: is finally healthy and is bawling out for the first
Speaker 1: time this year. DeAndre Aiden, you know who is partly
Speaker 1: to blame for his early season woes. Guess just guess
Speaker 1: what it is? Is it like I don't know, just
Speaker 1: mental transitions with the plan from the suns of the
Speaker 1: Portland was rain no, no, guess again it was air
Speaker 1: air mattress. He was banged up because of the mental
Speaker 1: toll of poor sleep, given the fact that for many
Speaker 1: weeks who knows how long he did not specify DeAndre
Speaker 1: Ayden was sleeping on an air mattress. Many people in
Speaker 1: my Instagram comments are saying, I've made this up, and
Speaker 1: that just shows you how ludicrous the story is. Considering
Speaker 1: that as one hundred percent fact. He said. This quote
Speaker 1: is actually like bonkers the more you read into it,
Speaker 1: because he says, I've got all the money in the world,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, this is an inhumane where
Speaker 1: money don't matter, having people around you and the support
Speaker 1: you need. I was adjusting to everything, just being comfortable
Speaker 1: waking up. I didn't have a bed. I was on
Speaker 1: an air mattress, trying to figure this out. Having all
Speaker 1: the money in the world, sleeping on an air mattress.
Speaker 1: You can delete all the middle parts, but how do
Speaker 1: those two things happen together? I have so many questions.
Speaker 1: Was he like taking some sort of stoic vow of
Speaker 1: like discomfort and like pain that he wanted to punish
Speaker 1: himself for things I'm not working out in Phoenix. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't know the reason that someone
Speaker 1: with thirty million dollars a year is sleeping on an
Speaker 1: air mattress. I've yet to hear a good explanation. I've
Speaker 1: heard that NBA players are not allowed to sleep in hotels.
Speaker 1: I know that is incorrect, considering the Demonisa Bonis when
Speaker 1: he was traded to the Sacramento Kings, slept at the
Speaker 1: hotel just outside of the Golden One Arena for the
Speaker 1: duration of his first season in Sacramento. I've heard that
Speaker 1: NBA teams put you up in an Airbnb, where that
Speaker 1: would be an organ I don't know. I've heard that
Speaker 1: maybe he was waiting for a seven foot size mattress
Speaker 1: to come in the mail. But why an air mattress
Speaker 1: instead of a regular small mattress. Do you is it
Speaker 1: preferable to sleep on a long, extra long air mattress
Speaker 1: over two mattresses back to back, don't I don't know
Speaker 1: these answers, But I slept on an air mattress for
Speaker 1: twelve hours one time, No six hours one time, and
Speaker 1: it was six hours too many I'm one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen pounds. It deflated before I could fall asleep. Before
Speaker 1: I could fall asleep. DeAndre eight and is seven feet
Speaker 1: tall and two hundred and fifty pounds. There is no
Speaker 1: way there's an air mattress supplier in the world with
Speaker 1: a modicum of lumbar support. So just an absurd story.
Speaker 1: I would not have believed this if it didn't come
Speaker 1: straight from DeAndre Ayton's mouth. I just I don't know
Speaker 1: why you don't just call the Blazers to say, can
Speaker 1: we figure this out? Listen. I can barely get an
Speaker 1: orthopedic chair at my company, but if I was making
Speaker 1: thirty MS and max money, I would say, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: need you guys to sort this for me. As a
Speaker 1: Blazer fan, I can say, thank god he got a
Speaker 1: sleeping arrangements fixed, because ever since he got that little
Speaker 1: crick out of his neck from sleeping on a baby
Speaker 1: feed in a baby feet his position on basically the floor,
Speaker 1: he is bawling the fuck out some coming back from injury,
Speaker 1: which I suspect now was also from the air mattress.
Speaker 1: He's averaging twenty seven to fifteen and one with one
Speaker 1: point six stocks on thirty eight minutes per game. As
Speaker 1: they say, that's what a sleep number gonna do for you.
Speaker 1: And if DeAndre Ayton doesn't get a mattress sponsor after this,
Speaker 1: someone on team Dominating isn't dominate. That's all the time
Speaker 1: the way. After this episode of the Heat Check, come
Speaker 1: back Friday for an all new episode. Check out the
