1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Straight fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday,

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: November fifth. It is election day. Ladies and gentlemen. Obviously,

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: go out and vote, and then this whole mess will

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: be done and somebody will win and we will move

6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: on and no more political ads, hooray, and we can

7
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: hopefully get back to some normalcy. There's a good college

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: football weekend slate. I don't know if you guys have

9
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: seen it on Saturday. Really it feels like an elimination

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: game for some good teams. There's a good Thursday night

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: football game this week. Obviously the Sunday slates fire. You

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: got to the NFL news also today NFL trade deadline.

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: I expect some, hopefully some good stuff. And I know

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: we haven't done a ton of NBA since the preview.

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: I've got some thoughts on the Milwaukee who lost again

16
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: last night to drop to one and six. Oh boy,

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: you know where I'm going with this, ladies and germs.

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: But obviously we got to start with the indomitable Patrick

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Mahomes on Monday Night football, getting injured, looking scary, helped

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: off the field, could not walk on his own power

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: and then comes back, leads to go ahead drive in

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: the fourth, leads the game winning drive in overtime, and

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs moved to eight. And Oh, my daughter's doing

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: a social studies thing about dynasties. I was like, oh, well,

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: you should talk about the uh Patriots. So Tom Brady

26
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: and she goes, what about the Chiefs. It's like, yeah,

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: the Chiefs sort of dynasty. I mean three super Bowls

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: in the last five years through Super Bowl wins, then

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: they had the loss to the Bucks and Brady and

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: I'll be damned if they're not maybe going back there again.

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: I'm a broken record here, and I'm sure some Chiefs

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: fans will clip this off and come after me. I

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: just I watch them. I don't see special. I don't now.

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt looks solid. Whoever they want to plug in there,

35
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt, DeAndre Hopkins. Hello, they're getting buckets. She's four

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: for four in the red zone. Twelve of eighteen on

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: third down. That's just insane. Twelve of eighteen on third down.

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: And yet still this game went to overtime. Why because

39
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield had the drive of his life against Spagnolo's

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: great defense in the rain on the road down his

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: top three receivers, and Baker Mayfield went right down the

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: field for the tying score. The big question this morning

43
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: is why didn't Todd Bowles go for two? As we

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: know in the Super Bowl both teams get the ball.

45
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: In the regular season, if you get the ball, go

46
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: down and score a touchdown, it's game over. And that's

47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: what happened that Chief's got the ball. They went down

48
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: the field bing bang boom, touchdown, and Todd Bowles is

49
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: left answering why he didn't go for two. Now, you

50
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: could argue in that division they've already been swept by

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: the Falcons, right and going for two was maybe too

52
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: risky and if you miss it, you fall behind. But

53
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: the counter is, bro, you didn't even get the ball

54
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: in overtime. So the real argument is, you know, if

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: you are going for two there and the victory, you

56
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: got to dial up your best play obviously, and Mahomes

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: would have had somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty eight seconds,

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: which we know is plenty of time for him to

59
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: do some damage, and who the hell knows, They just

60
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: chuck it up to Worthy and there's a flag like,

61
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: it's the Chiefs, it's Arrowhead. I'm a little disappointed he

62
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: didn't go for it, and I don't know, Rob, I

63
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 2: can't kill Bowls for it. But again they dropped now

64
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: to four and five with the loss, They've lost three straight,

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: but to all teams with winning records, Raven's Falcons, Chiefs

66
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: and oh, by the way, they've got the Niners on deck,

67
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: and the Niners, by the way, just got Chris student

68
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: McCaffrey back at practice this week, So listen, I don't

69
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: want to go too much in on bulls here. I

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: would have gone for two. I understand why he didn't.

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: But by the way, did you see the snap to McLoughlin.

72
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: It was not great. There was like a little bit

73
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: of a hiccup, and I was like, oh my god,

74
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: can you imagine if they didn't go for two and

75
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: then the kicker botched the kick because the snap was bad.

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: It was just, you know, one of those tough moments

77
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: where it's a bang bang decision and I usually err

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: on the side of caution, but in that one, man,

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: I was like, why not just go for it? Now?

80
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: Part of me was like clinging to a fantasy football lead,

81
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: So and I knew the cover was shot. Chiefs were

82
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: not covering, so I was like, go for it, just

83
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: beat them, you know, And of course they did not.

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: And I got to obviously give a shout out to

85
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, the bionic man who bounced back from that injury.

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: And it's just the same old shit with this guy. Man,

87
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: he's just so good, you know. DeAndre Hopkins looking pretty solid,

88
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt running well. Defense a little bit leaky against Baker.

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean they've got holes, they're not a perfect defense,

90
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: but who cares. There ain't no I maintain this is

91
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: not the best team in the NFL. I would go

92
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. I mean, you could argue to Baltimore Ravens

93
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: right now or a Juggernaut. But it's tough to like

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: build an argument around the Ravens over the Chiefs because

95
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: we all just saw what happened in January when the

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Ravens had hopefield advantage, had the better team, and they

97
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: were favored and they ended up losing. So I can't

98
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: put a ton of stock in anyone taking down the Chiefs.

99
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: But it doesn't make sense. But I just don't think

100
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: they're a great football team, right now they're winning. That's wonderful.

101
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: I just don't think they're a great football team.

102
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't think that's a super you know,

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: scintillating take. I think even Scott van Pell, who's that

104
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: after the game, and Scott is usually one of the

105
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: most you know, positive, happy, go lucky guys in the media,

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: and even he was saying, like, the team that is

107
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: far from unbeatable still has not been beaten, right, And

108
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: that's what you're getting in these Chiefs. To put into

109
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: some perspective. Last night, the chief scored thirty points for

110
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: the first time this season. From twenty eighteen to twenty

111
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 3: twenty three, they led the NFL with forty eight games

112
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: scoring at least thirty points. Here's more, Patrick Mahomes had

113
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: three passing touchdowns for the first time this season on

114
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: Monday night. Patrick Mahomes also led the NFL with thirty

115
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: eight games with three plus passing dutch downs from twenty

116
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: eighteen to twenty twenty three. So this is not your

117
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: Older Brothers version of the Kansas City Chiefs. They win

118
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: in a totally different way. They're a defensive minded team.

119
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: They like to run the ball, even if it's not

120
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: super effective. They'll take the three yards in a cloud

121
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: of dust any day of the week. And Patrick Mahomes

122
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: recently he's been good, but you know he's been turning

123
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: the ball over. If he can just make the key

124
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: plays at the right moments in the right times and

125
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: the critical in the critical spots, they're gonna find ways

126
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: to win these games. And credit to him. On Monday

127
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: night on third down, he was fantastic. He finished the

128
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: game on third down eleven of thirteen for one twenty

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: six three touchdowns. Here's the best part. Ten first downs.

130
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 3: So every time Todd Bowles's defense put him in a

131
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: spot where hey, one incomplete pass, one tackle short of

132
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: the sticks, we get off the field. We give Baker

133
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: in the offense a chance to make them happen. Patrick

134
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: Mahomes did not let it happen. He turned a three

135
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: play drive into a seven play drive, a seven into

136
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: an eleven, a four minute drive into a six minute drive.

137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: And you're shortening the game. You're allowing your defense to

138
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: be rested so that they can get after Baker Mayfield,

139
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: which they did most of the naive o. Baker was

140
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: good there at the end. You know, they played really good.

141
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: Complimentary football, and Patrick Mahomes was great when they needed

142
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: to be.

143
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: But Rob, let me add so kirk Cousins has faced

144
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: this Tampa defense twice, sure, and he put up by

145
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: a mile better numbers than Mahomes.

146
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: Surely.

147
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: One of them was five hundred yards. So it's like,

148
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: it's it's weird. I don't want to say everybody's cooking

149
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: these guys now, because I mean, Lamar shreded them, But

150
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: Lamar's cooking everybody. The kirk Cousins twice. Let's see who

151
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: else they faced. Jade Daniels had a good game, but

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: it was in the opener and they lost. Bo Nicks

153
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: had a good game in Tampa and they rolled Tampa.

154
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: So I mean, again, I don't mean to be negative.

155
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: And I know Chiefs fans hate when I do this

156
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: because I've been doing it for a while. I'm just

157
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: not overly impressed. They're winning, they're getting it done. But Rob,

158
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: to go back to yesterday's conversation, I mean, I felt

159
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: like I was being fair with Nick Sirianni, like they're

160
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: winning in spite of him, and this process is not

161
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: going to get them. I don't think where they want

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: to be, which is a super Bowl. I don't think

163
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: they can do that with Sirianni coaching this way. The

164
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: opposite is true with Kansas City. Their process is phenomenal.

165
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: They just don't have the talent. I mean, Rob, I'll

166
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: throw a couple teams at you. You tell me who you

167
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: think has better offensive players. Eagles are Chiefs, Eagles, Dolphins

168
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: are Chiefs.

169
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: Dolphins or Chiefs.

170
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean, listen, Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Bijeon.

171
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: So am I including offensive lines in this? Because if

172
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: I am, then then I'll take the Chiefs over the Dolphins.

173
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, include offensive the Lions, Lions, Ravens, Ravens, Niners,

174
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 2: nine ers, I mean so like that. That's not how

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be for an eight not team. But

176
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: I know they're undefeated, so you know, congrats Andy Reid Mahomes.

177
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Mahomes had the injury scare. Let me see who the

178
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: Chiefs have next?

179
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: Oh?

180
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: Would you look at that? They're eight and o now,

181
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 2: and they have the Denver Broncos at home, and then

182
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: they have the Buffalo Bills, which is a big one.

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: If the Bills don't get them, there'll be ten and

184
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: oh against Carolina. So eleven and O eleven and oh

185
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: against the Raiders, twelve and oh, twelve and zero against

186
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: the Chargers at Arrowhead. I mean it's probably thirteen and oh.

187
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: Then you've got the Browns. I mean the Texans are

188
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 2: a hope, but that's in Arrowhead, like the week of Christmas.

189
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: I mean, she's man. If the Bills have to knock

190
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: them off in Orchard Park in two weeks, I don't

191
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: think the Broncos are gonna do it.

192
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 3: I don't think the Broncos are gonna be I think

193
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: the Bill's gonna give him a good run because Josh

194
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: Allen quietly is playing at an absurd MVP level, where

195
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: not for Lamar Jackson, I think he'd be the front

196
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: runner for the MVP.

197
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: That's fair.

198
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: I think that the Chargers defense is really good, and

199
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: they're one of the team the few teams that can

200
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: go blow for blow with them defensively where they can

201
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: mucket up just the same way the Chiefs have been doing,

202
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 3: and they'll feel just as confident in a seventeen to

203
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: seventeen game going in the fourth quarter as any other

204
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: team in the league. And depending what happens here in

205
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: the next what is forty eight hours or the NFL

206
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 3: trade deadline. If the Houston Texans can do anything to

207
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 3: show up the offensive line even a little bit, Nico

208
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: Collin's gonna come back here in a couple of weeks.

209
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 3: They're a team that can score enough or put enough

210
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: offensive pressure on the Chiefs to really see if they

211
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 3: can sustain this level of offensive perform. Again, this is

212
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: the first time they scored thirty points, so history this

213
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: season says if you can get to twenty seven, you

214
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: have a good chance of beating them. The problem is

215
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: nobody's been really able to do it. So I think

216
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: those three teams can prevent the perfect season absolutely.

00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: I know it's still football season, obviously, and I should

222
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: not instantly pivot to the NBA. I'll quickly. I'll be

223
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: brief on this one that Dennis Allen firing should surprise

224
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: absolutely nobody. I mean, give me a break, He's just

225
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: like we know, he's not a good coach. The only

226
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: question is like, who's next? You know, I can't get

227
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: too worked up about Dennis Allen getting run. I know

228
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: some people are like, oh, you got to bet the

229
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 2: Saints this week against the Falcons on the coach getting fired.

230
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Everybody loves to back the team where they just fired

231
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: the coach. It's a rally around Derek Carr. Blah blah blah.

232
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that to me, that's a wait and see.

233
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: Falcons did lose Drake London against the Cowboys, so I

234
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: can't do any I can't do anything yet. But I

235
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: mean Chris o'lave obviously not playing after another concussion Rashidha,

236
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: he is down, like I just, I don't know that

237
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: I can get involved with a Saint. They're not a

238
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: good football team right now, even though they outplayed Carolina

239
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: and that loss. All right, let's go to the NBA

240
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: real quick. So I know the Joel embid I'm still

241
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: waiting on Joel embiad information from this incident with the reporter.

242
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: Some people are calling it a push, some people are

243
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: calling it a punch. Some people are just saying, hey,

244
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: put his hands on him, he gets get suspended. Best

245
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: I can tell so far, there is no video of this,

246
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: so I don't want to spend too much time on it.

247
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: I would rather talk about the Jannis Bucks situation, where

248
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: Milwaukee rob has dropped to one and six after a

249
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: loss to the Calves. They lost to the Mighty Calves

250
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: who were eight No, I mean Cleveland, Holy Hell looking

251
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: good and the Bucks are kind of flailing now. Dame

252
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: Lillard had a good game, he had thirty six. They're

253
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: still trying to figure out who their shooting guard is,

254
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Gary Trent not quite working out. Yiannis did not play

255
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 2: with an abductor. So we can't read too much into this.

256
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: But here's the real story. Mark Stein, who used to

257
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: work at ESPN, has one of these subscription services where

258
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: you can pay for his info because he's been covering

259
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: the NBA forever. Right and mark Stein apparently now, I

260
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: haven't read this. I've just seen people talk about it

261
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: on social media because I'm not a subscriber. But according

262
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: to mark Stein, he's talked to executives around the NBA

263
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: and there is a feeling that the real reason that

264
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: the Nicks traded for Karl Anthony Towns is because they

265
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: had a hunch an inkling. Hey, if Jannis is unhappy

266
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee and asks out, we are a desirable location,

267
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: and we need a blue chip talent to pedal to

268
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 2: the Bucks. Obviously, Towns is not equal to Yannis. Nobody

269
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: would imagine that. But in an unbelievable situation, the Milwaukee

270
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: Bucks right now don't have a draft pick, not a

271
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: first round pick, not a second round pick until twenty

272
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: thirty one. That is not a joke. So twenty twenty five, nothing, six, seven, eight,

273
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: not for the next six years, they have no draft

274
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: picks I do. I mean they gave up like five

275
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: second round picks for Jake Crowder, which was a total bust.

276
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: But folks, let that sink in. They have an old team.

277
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton can't stay healthy, Dame can't guard anybody. They

278
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: can't guard I mean, the guards are awful defensively, and

279
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: it's Giannis against the world. And how do you get better, Well,

280
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: you don't have draft picks to trade, so you've got

281
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: to trade guys on your roster. Well, nobody wants Middleton.

282
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't see a big market for Dame Lillard. And

283
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: why would you trade for Dame trade him away after

284
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: you just acquired him, and you want to figure this

285
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: thing out. The only guy on the roster is Yannis.

286
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: And at that point you're just straight up starting over.

287
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: And you know that boy Dame Lillo would be so

288
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: pissed off, wanted out of Portland, and it just spiraled downward.

289
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: But how about this, Yannis, if he asks out, I

290
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: want to go to the Knicks. The Knicks are sitting here,

291
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: We've got Karl Anthony Towns and we still have several

292
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: first round picks. Now it's not like they have a

293
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: ton of great picks, but they've got picks. Right, you

294
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: do that in a heartbeat, You do that named New

295
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: York minute, as you'd like to say. Now, we're still

296
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: very early. There's zero inkling that Giannis is asking out.

297
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: But man, did the NBA just strike gold? I think

298
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: this would this would be the biggest move in the

299
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: NBA since Kevin Durant went to the Warriors and totally

300
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: changed the shape of the league. I mean, there's been

301
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: obvious big moves. Lebron going to the Lakers was significant,

302
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: that netted the Lakers the title. Obviously Kyrie Irving going

303
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: to Dallas they got to the finals one of their

304
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: huge huge moves have there been since Kevin Durant. Obviously

305
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: the Rudy go Bear trade was a big one. Minnesota's

306
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: pretty good now, Donovan Mitchell was a big move. I'm sorry.

307
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: Giannis is better than all those guys, and that's including Lebron,

308
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: who's amazing in the goat. But Jannis is in his prime.

309
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: I think that is would be just unbelievable. Now, Kevin

310
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: Durant going to Brooklyn and then forcing his way to Phoenix,

311
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: those were big moves, But I don't I just see

312
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: the Yannis moves. I mean, Jannis has arguably the best

313
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: player in the league here with Jokic and with Luca

314
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: basically for like the last what three or four years,

315
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: rop maybe five. I don't to me, this would be

316
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: enormous if somehow now I would put it at like today,

317
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: I would put it at thirty three percent chance that

318
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: Jannis ass out, which is low considering. You know, people

319
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: are getting geek because they're one and six. But if

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 2: Middleton comes back now he hasn't given our timetable, and

321
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: if this gets really sideways, like can you imagine the

322
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 2: Bucks missing the playoffs? Now, Paolo Bunco did go down

323
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 2: for Orlando. He's out like four to six weeks. So

324
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 2: there's an NBA team in the East, that's gonna fall out.

325
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: But you have Cleveland way better than anybody thought. Brooklyn's

326
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: being somewhat frisky. It's early. But as we record this

327
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: rob two teams in the East have winning records.

328
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: That's it.

329
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: The East is really freaking bad.

330
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: The Leastern Conference strikes again. No, I'll tell you what

331
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 3: if things go sideways in Milwaukee, my realistic thought is

332
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: that they would trade Dame before they would trade Giannis.

333
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: I don't think what's the market for Dave? Uh h?

334
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: Not great. You're probably selling for sixty cents on the dollar.

335
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: But you know, Giannis is such a generational talent that

336
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: unless he demands out, I don't even entertain the idea

337
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: of trading Giannis. But for argument's sake, let's go down

338
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: this rabbit. I'll jump down there with you. In this

339
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 3: scenario that Mark Steine, you know, reported it was the

340
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: Knicks and the three other more well known contenders. Brooklyn, Miami,

341
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: Golden State. Okay, Brooklyn does not have any good players

342
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: to trade, right, so you're basically banking on draft picks. Miami.

343
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: You're not gonna get Bam. That's be the plan to

344
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: pare him. So it's Tyler hero and stuff, right. You know,

345
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: I like Haimi Hakez, you know, I think he's good,

346
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: you know, But no, not for a guy like Yiannis.

347
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 3: That's not the kind of trade I'm looking at. And

348
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 3: Golden State you're not trading Steph. I'm assuming Milwaukee has

349
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: no interest in Draymond, So it's Pajemski, Kaminga and picks. Basically,

350
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: basically all three of those teams are pick oriented. Here's

351
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: the problem though, with that. If you're Milwaukee, I went

352
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 3: and looked up their draft history. Okay, over the last

353
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 3: few years, they haven't had an even rotational level draft

354
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 3: pick since twenty eighteen. Dante DiVincenzo. Okay, got Kevin Porter Junior,

355
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: who bounced out of the NBA for a bit, Jordan Nauara,

356
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: your guy, RJ Hampton, Isaiah Todd, Chris Livingston, Tyler Smith,

357
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: Marjon Bouchamp. Like it's just a who's who of back

358
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: of the end of rotation players, like a bunch of

359
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: ten to eleven twelve men in the NBA. I've been

360
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: their draft pick for the last five or six seasons.

361
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: One thing that they're not good at is drafting players.

362
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 3: So with that in mind, if I'm going to trade honest,

363
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: and I have no choice but to trade on. I'm

364
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: gonna get the most sure fire thing that's.

365
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 2: Available to me.

366
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 3: And in this scenario, of the three teams listed and

367
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: the aforementioned New York Knicks, New York easily has the

368
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 3: best package because they're giving you an All NBA player

369
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: in return. They're not giving you a lottery ticket and

370
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: hope that you can maybe find the bet next Giannis,

371
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: which we all know is slim to none based like

372
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 3: it's the niland aysnack to drop the guy like that.

373
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 3: So you take the all NBA center who's already locked

374
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 3: up for the unforeseeable future, and you see what you

375
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: can do from there.

376
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: So so Rob, I just looked it up. The Knicks,

377
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: they have the Washington twenty twenty fifth pick, a twenty

378
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 2: twenty five first rounder, but it's protected one to ten.

379
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: They have Detroit first rounder next year protected one to thirteen.

380
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: They have two seconds, they have their own in twenty

381
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: twenty six, so they have way more picks to trade.

382
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you give those away in a heartbeat. Now

383
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: they are protected. So the can gets kicked down the road.

384
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: But Milwaukee's headed towards disaster anyway, right, Like, there's no

385
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: problem if you all of a sudden are just not

386
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: very good. But Milwaukee's gonna go from being relevant to

387
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: totally irrelevant if they lose.

388
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 3: Gianna's absolutely absolutely and that's why they're not one of

389
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: those teams ever going to be a free agent destination.

390
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: In an ideal world, Yes, you'd rather have a picks

391
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: because you want young talent and you want to you know,

392
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: bottom out basically, But the problem is that their history

393
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 3: suggests they're just not good at drafting players. I mean,

394
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 3: I hate to bring this up, but was a Jabari

395
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: Parker remember him?

396
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: You know?

397
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: Because the need to dream like that didn't work out

398
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 3: for them, and so Thon Maker ring a Bell remember him?

399
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna be good man watch me too.

400
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: And so with them, they're they're one of those teams

401
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 3: similar to like Indiana. I mean, I guess you can

402
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 3: say Sacramento is now in that category where it's like,

403
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: if we're just respectable, like that's good enough for our

404
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: fan base. Yeah, you know, and I think that if

405
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 3: if you have to deal Giannis, you get the best

406
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 3: possible players, not whoever has the best draft picks.

411
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 2: Obviously, Cleveland being eight to zero is kind of cool

412
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: and interesting and maybe they are going to be very good.

413
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: Celtics are seven and one. They're very good. OKC undefeated,

414
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: which should surprise nobody. How about the OKC margin of

415
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: victory so far seventeen point four. Now, what I had

416
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: not anticipated was the Golden State Warriors starting out six

417
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: and one and obliterating teams rob They beat the Blazers

418
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: by thirty six. They then proceeded to beat Utah a

419
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: couple nights later by forty one. They smoke New Orleans

420
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: and two back to backs by double digits. New Orleans

421
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: is reeling with injuries and they were missing Curry for

422
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 2: a couple of those games. And then they beat Houston

423
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: in overtime and watch, so they really haven't played anybody good.

424
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: That comes Wednesday when they play at Boston on ESPN.

425
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: My men's basketball teammate Richard Jefferson will be calling game.

426
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 2: I believe. Fun fact. As we wrap up today's pod,

427
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: we got to buy in the playoffs, but we got

428
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: to buy to the semifinals, and we are very likely

429
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 2: to face mosgov and the guy who went to Harvard

430
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: slash Duke. We have beat them twice. Mosgof is not

431
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: there for either in my career. I'm two and one

432
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: against Moscov and the one lost us brutal. Oh my god,

433
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: we led the whole way. It's gonna be a war.

434
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: I mean, they're starting to sell tickets, you know. I

435
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: know rob G's got some I don't know, you want

436
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: to call it vacation. Rob G coming up, so maybe

437
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 2: he'll pop down for the game since he's not gonna

438
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: be working. I'll be flying solo a lot on the

439
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: pod here in the coming weeks. But listen, life is

440
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: just getting wild and I don't know, guys, let's just

441
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: keep a level head after the election, regardless of who wins,

442
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: like you know, and we're not gonna probably know who

443
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: wins for a couple of days or weeks because of

444
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: this silly system we have and people refusing to accept results. Honestly,

445
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of over it. I don't know about you.

446
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: I'm political it out. Oh So after the football game

447
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: was over last night, Rob oh Man, I was just

448
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: so thrilled. I was like, finally no more. My daughter

449
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: was doing her homework, She's like, this is just ad

450
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: after ad. It's just relentless. And I did vote. I

451
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: hope you guys vote, you know, and listen. You're gonna

452
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: make your voice heard on social media. Go go cast

453
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: your ballot for whoever you want, you know, And that's

454
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: the beauty of this country. You can vote for whoever

455
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: you want. We don't, we thankfully don't live in Russia

456
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: or China where your vote would not matter and they'll

457
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: just decide, oh, this guy's the winner because we said so,

458
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, just be happy you're here. And you know, Rob,

459
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: if this is your last one for a couple of weeks,

460
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: any any big sign off you want the Raiders to

461
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: trade anybody at the deadline to no?

462
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: Well, first off, let me say, as far as voting,

463
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: I saw this thing on Instagram where they said, after

464
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: you vote with that sticker, if you had a QR

465
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 3: code that you could scan to your phone so that

466
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: you didn't get political ads anymore, that'd be great, Like

467
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: I would love I would love to do. That's my

468
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: phone and my TV provider doesn't always get bombarded with ads.

469
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: That's the more Number two. I may have been premature

470
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: with some text that I sent saying that the rankings

471
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 3: of Lakers coaches and history was JJ Reddick one pat

472
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: Riley to Phil Jackson.

473
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: Three.

474
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: May have been premature on the heels of a beat

475
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: down in Detroit on Monday night.

476
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't need to get too into it. But

477
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 2: why is Anthony Davis logging thirty nine minutes and Lebron

478
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: forty in a November game against Detroit? I mean, I

479
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: get what Reddick is doing, and he's got a great

480
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: thing going, but like, what are we doing here? And

481
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: is Jackson Hayes TMZ thing?

482
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 3: Oh he's done once the NBA decides, you know, he's goat.

483
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it all.

484
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 2: I actually follow that Instagram influencer on ig She is,

485
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 2: you know, a pretty big deal and it's an ugly

486
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: video and I don't know what this. You know, it's sad,

487
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 2: Like my thought, what a Laker's going to do if

488
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: they have to dump Jackson Hayes when we're talking about

489
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: an individual here, you know, the ugly that I don't

490
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: want to say. The season could could come off the

491
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: rails here, but like it felt like Reddick was really

492
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: forcing the issue. I mean, he barely played his bench.

493
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: Do you remember when Vanderbilt was like a starter and

494
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: a key cog. He's not even playing Dalton Connects. The

495
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: minutes have gone down. I didn't get the rotation against Detroit,

496
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: and like JJ, there's nothing wrong with packing it in.

497
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes if it's not our night or your night, it's

498
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: not your night, you don't force the minutes. All we

499
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 2: gotta have Lebron and Ad bring the team back like

500
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: this is a marathon. You know this, Reddick. So I

501
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: don't know, Robbie, are you concerned yet about the Lakers?

502
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: I mean they started off hot and now they're four

503
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: and three and the upcoming schedule is not great with Memphis, Philly, Toronto,

504
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: Memphis the next four on deck now hopefully, and Bead's

505
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: not back for the Philly game. That sounds like Paul

506
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: George is returning this week, and there's some excitement about

507
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: Paul George getting back. Oh, I'm sorry. He returned last

508
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: night against Phoenix and he was he was mid but

509
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 2: they yeah, he did. He didn't play particularly great against

510
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: the Suns, but yeah, the league just needs Lebron and

511
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: Ad the same way. When Mahomes went down, I was

512
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: just like, oh my god, we don't need this. You know, listen,

513
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: I'm not rooting for the Chiefs, but we don't need

514
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: this crap. We need Behomes healthy. I don't want Lebron

515
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: burning all these minutes early, you know. I mean, I'm

516
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: sure you're.

517
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 3: With me, right, yeah, I mean, And in all fairness

518
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: to JJ, he's new, he's never done this before, and

519
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: that's number one. Number two, Lebron's forty minutes are not

520
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: quite the same as AD's forty minutes. Like Ad active

521
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 3: and doing things both ends of the floor. Lebron James

522
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: on defense just is in the standing point era of

523
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 3: defense at this point, you know. And when they're screens,

524
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 3: he takes a step back and points at whoever else

525
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: got and they have to move.

526
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: So that bad.

527
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: He's really good at conserving energy. We're just fine. The

528
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 3: dudes you know, older than me, and he's still playing

529
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: professional basketball, so.

530
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: You know, it is what it is.

531
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 3: But uh, we'll see if they can win a once

532
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: they get healthy, when Vanda comes back, when Christian Wood

533
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: comes back, I'm assuming Jack and Hazes will be gone.

534
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: You know, in the next week or two, probably suspended

535
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 3: for the season or something like that.

536
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 2: Christian would I forgot it, and uh, you.

537
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: Know, we'll see what happens.

538
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Rob, if if this is it, have

539
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: a good couple weeks off and uh, you know, hopefully

540
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: you'll come back with some some fun, good positive news

541
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: and stories and I'll be back tomorrow
