14
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 5: Iowa Husband Calling competition finalists.

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: I think the woman screaming Daryl should have won.

16
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 5: Darryl I felt was the winner, but I think the

17
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 5: actual winner ended up being just someone who was like

18
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 5: very specific, you know, like get yourself down here, things

19
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: like that. I also wanted to use it as like

20
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 5: a launch point of like how do you guys get

21
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 5: called in the house?

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: Is it a text? Is it a yell?

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? There were a lot of texts being thrown around

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: in our house instead of yelling despite living on one floor, like,

25
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: I can't be all that far from my wife. I

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: could call her right now, she'd hear me. If you

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: But first, guys, it had been a while. We had

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: a weggie last night, and let's just let the Pelicans

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: broadcast take it away.

45
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: Over to help out of the week side if you

46
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 3: got a five on four, it'll be CJ the hot hand,

47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: and we got.

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: A wedge, it'll be a jump ball. But it'd been

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: a fifty.

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: Nine to play in the half.

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: There you go, CJ McCollum sticking weggie number twenty eight

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 2: off the three end transition. It had been over two

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: weeks since we'd had a leggie, and CJ McCollum becomes

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: also the second player this season to stick his second weggie.

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: Now it's Westbrook and CJ and task. I know you're loving.

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: Joel Myers on the call. There man's gotta have a dog,

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: A man's gotta have a weggie.

58
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: Well, Joel Myers, I think really cursed CJ McCollum there

59
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: saying CJ with the hot hand shoves a wedgie in there.

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: But I got love. Antonio Daniels right beside him, screaming weggie,

61
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: loving it, making Joel laugh, because you gotta laugh when

62
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: somebody yells weggie, no matter what the situation. It's like

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: our cold opens when we're going all farts, which has

64
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: been recently. You know you gotta chuckle at that. You

65
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: gotta chuckle at a weggie.

66
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: I want to not congratulations, but thank you, I guess

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: to TK two and to everybody that sent in that leggie.

68
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, and I think my Twitter was

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: screwed up. One of the first things I usually do

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: in the morning is to scroll the No Dunk's Twitter

71
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: account to see if people are letting us know about

72
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: a Weggie. I may have missed and I don't know.

73
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on, Musk, but I wasn't

74
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: seeing this. But thankfully Trey Kirby had his eye on

75
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: it and it was working for you.

76
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it wasn't through Twitter that I saw at either skates.

77
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 6: I just fired up the recap from last night and

78
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: it made the House of Highlights recap the Weggie did.

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: How exciting is that?

80
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 6: What a glow up for the Weggie. Also, you know,

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 6: to take it off the NBA court. I played pickup

82
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 6: basketball last night. First jump shot I took, tried to

83
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 6: go glass, got all glass, got all Weggie my first

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 6: Weggie of twenty twenty three as well. Exciting night did

85
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 6: the game didn't stop. You didn't take a photo Wegie,

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 6: But unfortunately my phone was on the other side of

87
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 6: the court, so I had to run and go get it.

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 6: Leave all the shorter people there to try and get

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 6: the ball down. Not quick enough though, Okay, amazing. We

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 6: don't need Twitter anymore, don't need it. It's happening naturally.

91
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. I know people on Instagram did tag

92
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: us and or at least you know, message us and

93
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and there were some tweets I saw,

94
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: So thank you to everybody keeping us on our toes.

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: If you see a weggie, you let us know at

96
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: No Dunk's Ink or on Twitter, Instagram or Yeah. I

97
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: just hope that House of Highlights clopse it and that's

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 2: why it puts it up.

99
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks to us. Thanks to us, we've popularized it.

100
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: So now everybody's just clicking it.

101
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get into the games. Lots of fun ones

102
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: I think to start with will end with Jordan Poole,

103
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 2: will end. We'll begin with Jordan Poole ending the game

104
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: is what I meant with the buzzer beater, very close

105
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: to it, at least I guess there was a second

106
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: left at the end to lift the Warriors past the Grizzlies. Tassy.

107
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: This one had a Steph Curry ejection. You know, some

108
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: great shot making down the stretch. NBA Rivals Week is

109
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: chef's kiss. It was one of the best things the

110
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: NBA has done in a while, and this game was

111
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: pretty pretty fantastic.

112
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought NBA Rivals Week was just gonna be

113
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: a big Oh, let's be honest. I thought that was

114
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: just something inserted into the season, sort of like the

115
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: mid season tournament idea that we'd all go, Okay, it happened,

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: but you know, January it's it's a bit of a

117
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: coma part of the season. I wouldn't say it's a

118
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: dead part of the season, but it's, you know, kind

119
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: of comatose, and this has helped out. Maybe the NBA

120
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: got a little lucky because Simmons played mb for the

121
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 3: first time, which we'll get to and Grizzlies Warriors on

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: Christmas Day didn't have Steph, so this one had a

123
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: little extra juice. But this is a true rivalry, and

124
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: I think the Grizzlies as that up and coming team

125
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: that everybody loves to hate. I think they got to

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: feel real good. Even if they lost this game. They're

127
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: up ten midway through the fourth quarter on the road.

128
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: They should have home court advantage against the Warriors team

129
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: if they play in the playoffs, Moran got what he

130
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: wanted to drop in twenty nine. I thought Desmond Bain

131
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: was a great playmaker. That's what I'm always watching for

132
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 3: when I'm watching the Grizzlies. Do they have a second

133
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: guy to make plays if you try and take away

134
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: Moran and Desmond Bain. Despite the line, I thought did

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: a great job that Jaron Jackson Junior had to play

136
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: center in this game. He did foul out because of that,

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: but he won't have to do that in the playoffs

138
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: when Steven Adams is healthy. And just further to that,

139
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: they can play small with Jeron Jackson Junior at center

140
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: with the Warriors if the Warriors try and go pool

141
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: into the starting lineup like they did, or they can

142
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: go big and play Steven Adams and Brandon Clark came

143
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: in there as their third big and played phenomenal. I

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: didn't like when they called him Clark on the call

145
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: because he's a real two name guy. Who the hell

146
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: is Clark? It's Brandon Clark, But I thought he was phenomenal.

147
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: If they didn't give it away with eleven free throws missed,

148
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: especially late, including Desmond Bane, then they win this game.

149
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: But NBA Rivals Week. It's a live, it's a live.

150
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: You know what's really weird. It's Tuesday through Saturday. What

151
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: it doesn't include Monday. There's no rivals on Monday, and

152
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: there's no rivals on Sunday. If I'm not mistaken, definitely

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: not Monday. Maybe it's Tuesday through Sunday. But anyway, it's

154
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: it's a real weird one. But it's still going pretty well.

155
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: No Tuesday through Saturday, right, Anyways, it's going.

156
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: Well, Trey. Any thoughts on the Warriors pulling this off,

157
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: like maybe Jaron Jackson Junior if he's out there, or

158
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: Adams of course is playing. They get a rebound at

159
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: the end too, because yeah, how many chances did the

160
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: Warriors get on offensive long offensive rebounds at that to

161
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: give him another chance?

162
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think kind of an impressive win

163
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 6: for the Warriors, considering they had twenty one turnovers, like

164
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 6: you're saying, skeets they hit the glass fourteen offensive rebounds

165
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 6: to make up for it, but to steady themselves after

166
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 6: a Curry ejection pretty late into the game. I thought

167
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 6: that was pretty good, especially because for a second there

168
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 6: it felt like Jordan Poole was trying to win the

169
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 6: game completely by himself to me taking some wild shots,

170
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 6: which is what got Curry ejected. If you really think

171
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 6: about it, Yeah, you got to take a bad shot

172
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: to get your teammate ejected. But he's so fired up

173
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 6: about it. But they studied the ship. Clay hit a

174
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 6: huge shot. He was kind of an instrumental, I thought,

175
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 6: and being able to hold off the Grizzly down the

176
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 6: stretch and then an awesome cut by Jordan Poole seeing

177
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 6: that Zaier Williams was playing him to go to the perimeter.

178
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: Nobody underneath the hoop gets to the rack.

179
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 6: Great pass, finishes, tough finished smart play by Pool to

180
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 6: completely redeem himself after getting Curry kicked out of the game.

181
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah do you think Steph Curry? I mean, you guys

182
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: had had kids. I guess they've maybe moved out of

183
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: this face. But like the the baby pacifier with like

184
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: there's like a strap connect clip to it. Yeah, the clip,

185
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: so if your baby drops it, it just like doesn't

186
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: go on to the ground. Curry needs this, I feel

187
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: like because this is the third time he's been ejected,

188
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: all to do with him chucking his mouthguard, which he's

189
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: always just chomping on. Anyway, you got some thoughts on

190
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: this trill?

191
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 5: I well, I mean on that, yeah, definitely you need

192
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 5: to have a strap there. But I think, like also

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: to the point is like you need it to be dramatic,

194
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 5: so it needs to be like a throw, it needs

195
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: to disappear. I mean, if you're a fan in the crowd,

196
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: you get to have like an injection mouthguard. I suppose

197
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: like that that's a really gross souvenir that you could

198
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 5: start with. But no, I think like the strap was

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: obviously has practical use, but I think it it reduces

200
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 5: the effect of an ejection at that point it.

201
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: Right, And how do you feel about you know, Curry

202
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: is like, why am I getting ejected? It's not like

203
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: I really hit anybody, you know, like because he has

204
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: hit people before. I mean in the playoff game, he

205
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 2: ping somebody there. Right, he does chuck down the court,

206
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: and I think it bounds sort of into the crowd,

207
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: but at the feet of people tasked. Do you have

208
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: an opinion on that or it's like, hey man, you

209
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: chuck your mouthguard into the stands, be it at the

210
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: feet of the face, You're out of here.

211
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: I think it is hilarious how he's trying to defend

212
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: chuck in a mouthguard in the in the proper direction,

213
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: no ejection. But it just it just depends where you

214
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: chuck it. I thought when he first started defending himself, Yeah,

215
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: so totally. I thought when he first started defending himself

216
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: that he threw it to his own bench was his

217
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: first reason. O'kay, I'm sorry of buying that, but you chuck,

218
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: you're out, I guess. I mean, it's so weird because

219
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: he pulls it out of his mouth to jaw at

220
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: the refs too, because the refs can't here. It's like

221
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: our old man Lee Alis when he was playing on

222
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: the court, horr heart. You can't understand what he's saying.

223
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: But he pulled it out. And yeah, so he always pulls.

224
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: He's ready to pull it out. He's ready to run

225
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: around screens with it half in his mouth.

226
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: I know, I don't know why. I mean, just chew gum.

227
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean he's just chewing on the thing all the time.

228
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 2: He almost never has it. It feels like in his

229
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: actual mouth it's only just dangling out.

230
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 4: It's always dangling are causing an ejection.

231
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 6: I wonder if the move is to just go with

232
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 6: a straight up spike of the mouthguard, like straight down

233
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 6: that way, it stays within the boundaries of the court.

234
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 6: Can't be ejected then, right can a tech Yeah?

235
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: I guess still still it really depends on the bounce

236
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 5: like at that point.

237
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

238
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 5: The other reason I came back on is I wanted

239
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: to find out if you guys got introduced to Jordan

240
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 5: Poole's doppelganger.

241
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: No, you're gonna introduce you.

242
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:21,359
Speaker 7: Here's oh my god, listening to the podcast.

243
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: This is uh, this is someone there in the in

244
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: the crowd that does look like Jordan.

245
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 5: Poole during broadcast on Twitter as being I mean, like

246
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 5: essentially in fake Clay Fas fashion. Yeah, so, I mean

247
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 5: the Warriors they run deep, not just not just in

248
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 5: Robster but also in fake versions of themselves.

249
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: That's so good too, because he's wearing the round specs,

250
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: the round glasses like Jordan Poole wears off the court.

251
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: So it is like his you know, Chris Paul personality.

252
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: It's his other look.

253
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: Is he wearing a Jordan Poole jersey too?

254
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: We know, so tough to see. Tough to see.

255
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, you would assume he's aware of it, like so yeah,

256
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: but yeah and shout out to him, like renamed himself

257
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 5: at the end of the game to Jordan Puddle.

258
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 4: That's very good.

259
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. As for the Grizzly Serra task, you you you know,

260
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: sounded like you weren't worried at all. You actually thought

261
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: it was sort of impressive how they hung around and

262
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: had control the game looked like they were gonna win it.

263
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: You don't think they need to make a move here

264
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: around the wing position, Like is that your Williams gonna

265
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: cut it? And Roddy and those guys like or should

266
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: they really be aggressive and like and I don't know

267
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: if og could be you know, acquired if you had

268
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: enough to make that happen, but like a small forward,

269
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: defensive minded guy to really like push all your chips

270
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: in with a somewhat of an opening here in a

271
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: Western conference or do you think they got enough to

272
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: get it done?

273
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had the hots for an acquisition like a

274
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: steady Freddy, like a Harrison Barnes type guy to maybe

275
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: just play some backup minutes or you know, if Dylan

276
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: Brooks ain't going right to take his minutes. But you know,

277
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: you guys, talk me in to the fact that Dylan

278
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: Brooks is sort of their their energy guy there, you know,

279
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: kind of like Draymond Green is for the Warriors, and

280
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: he's there to piss people off, and so as a backup,

281
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: they they just they want Zier Williams not to screw

282
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: up again, and they are getting Danny Green back if

283
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: that means anything. You know, he is, he is coming

284
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: back soon. He does have the championship pedigree. He could

285
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: be in there to chip in and maybe you don't

286
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: want to mess with the chemistry of what they got

287
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: going on. I mean, they love Dylan Brooks and that

288
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: would be the guy that you would think would be

289
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: out of the lineup or he would lose minutes if

290
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: they acquired somebody. So I'm kind of fine with it

291
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: for now. Like I know, we want to anoint them

292
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: the champs and try and go tell him to you know,

293
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: push all in. You got an opportunity here. But you

294
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: know they are coming along at a good pace. They

295
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: want a series, you know, So I think I think

296
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: they will stay with with the dudes that they love

297
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: and and see what happens in the offseason.

298
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: What about maybe even Jay Crowder on this team. I

299
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: think that makes sense. Obviously could get him for much

300
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: much less than a potential OG or something like that.

301
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: But try any thoughts on the Grizzlies makeup as of now.

302
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 6: I think they absolutely need to upgrade the wing Zaire Williams.

303
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: That was a pretty bad game.

304
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 6: I think he finished one for seven, obviously had the

305
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 6: botch job with pool Back cutting him there for the

306
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 6: game winning layup. He just looks like a young player.

307
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 6: He's one of the youngest guys in his draft last season,

308
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 6: and he's really really struggled so far this season, shooting

309
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 6: under thirty percent. The Grizzlies are gonna have to put

310
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 6: shooters on the court when it comes to playoff time,

311
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 6: and I don't necessarily know that you're going to be

312
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 6: able to just cycle through all of these different bench

313
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 6: guys that have had successful runs this season and last season.

314
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 6: You want somebody who you can absolutely rely on. So

315
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 6: I think it's worth giving Danny Green a bit of

316
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 6: a run. But they need somebody that's more in the

317
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 6: three four zone, I think, And I don't think that'll

318
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 6: eat into Brooks his minutes at all. He'll still be

319
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: there two three guards guy. They just need that kind

320
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 6: of swing forward because Williams is just not quite ready yet,

321
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 6: and they do have a chance, I think if they're

322
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 6: able to beef up beef up their scoring in the

323
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 6: half court for the most part, because yeah, Bain had

324
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 6: a nice game. But the thing that stuck out to

325
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 6: me is like it finally hit me last night that

326
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 6: if Vin Diesel played basketball, he would move exactly like

327
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 6: Desmond Baine.

328
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: They have the same body that stuck out to me.

329
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 6: And also Jonathan kuminga completely stuck out to me. I

330
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 6: thought he was a bit of a game changer for

331
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 6: the Warriors. I think he ended up shooting five for

332
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 6: six for the field, thirteen points, four assists, a couple

333
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 6: of rebounds, a couple of highlight dunks, an incredible tip

334
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 6: in rebound. He looks like the most athletic guy out

335
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 6: on the court, which is pretty impressive when you're playing

336
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 6: against the Grizzlies team get this guy in the dunk contest.

337
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 6: He could be the fourth fourth person chosen. Kuminga impressive game.

338
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: Still looking for that fourth dunker.

339
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he goes to the bench as soon as

340
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins is healthy because he's not playing. So I

341
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: think the Warriors are showing they got some depth, even

342
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: though people are talking about them upgrading their bench. Anthony

343
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: Lamb looking great off the bench. They got to guarantee

344
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: his contract. Evincenzo looking good, Jamichael Green if he hits,

345
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 3: if he can dunk an alley up, he will look good.

346
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 3: I think they've got a decent amount there, even if

347
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: they are looking to upgrade a little bit. But yeah,

348
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: no Wiggins, no Steven Adams. I think we got a note.

349
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 3: And even Steph. I thought it would have been what

350
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 3: it looked like it was gonna be one of those

351
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: bad Steph games. He had two fouls in the first minute,

352
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: and it looked like he could have been frustrated from

353
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: the from the get go, not just at the end.

354
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: But he obviously rectified that real quick. Stayed on the

355
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 3: floor with two fouls for a bit and ended ten

356
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 3: of nineteen for thirty four points, So a solid game

357
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 3: for him.

358
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: Let's move over to Damian Lillard scoring a season high

359
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: sixty points. Yeah, that happened last night. Blazers beat the

360
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: Jazz one thirty four, one four. Lillard needed just twenty

361
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: nine shot attempts and ten free throw attempts to score sixty,

362
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 2: which I saw Pelton writing at ESPN puts him an

363
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: elite company. Just two other players, Carl Malone in nineteen

364
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: ninety and James Harden in twenty nineteen, have reached sixty

365
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: points on fewer shot attempts, and both those guys did

366
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: a lot of work at the free throw line in

367
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: those games. You know, Lillard only taking ten hitting nine

368
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: of the ten is really really rare, mad efficient here.

369
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: They needed all of them for the most part. Jazz

370
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: were hanging around and I don't know, maybe this kicks

371
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 2: off like another two or three week stretch here Trey

372
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: where Damian Lillard reminds everyone just the scoring machine that

373
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: this guy could be.

374
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 4: This is how you do an All Star push skates.

375
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: You know, Lillard is.

376
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 6: Gonna be on the borderline, I think, all Star wise,

377
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 6: just because the Blazers don't have an incredible record. He's

378
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 6: missed a little bit of time, but he's really turned

379
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 6: it on lately, kind of since we've started seeing fan

380
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 6: returns for voting, and then sixty last night plus eight assists.

381
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 6: That's just like that's almost a tennisist game as well.

382
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 6: With a sixty point game, I thought his shot chart

383
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 6: and the shots he were getting looked hilarious. He took

384
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 6: he took like one step in three or a step

385
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 6: in two from the corner.

386
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 4: He had another one where he.

387
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 6: Was cutting baseline and I think Simon's hit him on

388
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 6: a pass for like a little fifteen foot baseline jumper.

389
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 6: A weird shot for Damian Lillard. Then everything else was

390
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 6: either a three pointer or a layup at the rim.

391
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 6: There was nobody in the Jazz backcourt who could stay

392
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 6: in front of Lillard, and obviously he was feeling quick

393
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 6: and fast because as soon as he would put a

394
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 6: single move on the perimeter, it was downhill immediately to

395
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 6: the rim, finishing at the rim.

396
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 4: Great stuff from Lillard.

397
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: Tass you disappeared there for a second. But any thoughts

398
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: on Lillard sixty.

399
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: You guys handled it oh so well while I was gone.

400
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm going to repeat tray here,

401
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 3: but Jason quick talked to Damian Lillard after the game

402
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 3: and he said it was a simple sixty and watching

403
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: it back this he really did just take what it took,

404
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: what the defense gives him and gave him, and he

405
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: compared it to his other three sixty point games in

406
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: his career. Sixty one versus the Mas in the play Inturney,

407
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 3: sixty one versus the Warriors without CJ. McCollum and Nurkic,

408
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: where he had to force it both times to try

409
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: and get his team across the line. Then sixty versus

410
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 3: the Nets, which I just think happened naturally. But yeah,

411
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: watching this shots by quarter it went six, seven, eleven,

412
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: and fifteen twenty nine shots twenty seven points from three

413
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: to twenty four, from two to nine from the line.

414
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: Ridiculously efficient, ridiculously just in out an incredible flow last night.

415
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is like one of the most

416
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: efficient games ever for a guy scoring that many points.

417
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to gloss over that fact, you know,

418
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: despite not even leading the show with a guy that

419
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: won for sixty last night, Like that's where we're at

420
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: now in the NBA. It's like it's impressive, don't get

421
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: me wrong, but it's like we've we've had a lot

422
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: of fifties and sixties and it's just like wow, it's

423
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, we have to take a second to

424
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: remind yourself this is not normal as much as.

425
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 4: It feels like it is.

426
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it is only our what our

427
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: third sixty point game this year with Donovan Mitchell seventy one,

428
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: and then Luca Dan I think with the sixties.

429
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and Beid had a fifty nine. But I

430
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 6: mean in the month of January, Lily Lillard has a

431
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 6: fifty point game, two forty point games, now a sixty

432
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 6: point game, not to mention, you know, numerous twenties and

433
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 6: thirties as well. I think my favorite basket was when

434
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 6: he made a three pointer to go from forty seven

435
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 6: to fifty points, and.

436
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: Where he took it. It looked like he was standing.

437
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 6: On the ad that said mc delivery for the fifty ball.

438
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 6: I was like, if you make that shot to hit

439
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 6: fifty points, they should bring in a fifty piece nugget

440
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 6: for you.

441
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: Stop the game. You earned it, buddy.

442
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 3: Oh we got to make delivery coming later on in

443
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: the show. Literally somebody walking on the door with McDonald.

444
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

445
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he also you know, usually when we talk

446
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 3: about these games, the guy is usually going for a

447
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: certain number at the end, and he hit sixty and

448
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: he didn't go for his career high at the end,

449
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: decided not to sixty one. Yeah, it seemed like it.

450
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, give him a chance. He was like, yeah, sixty

451
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: sounds cool. Respect all right, let's move on here. Anthony

452
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: Davis returned to the Lakers and Ruey hatch Mura playing

453
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 2: his first game with the Lakers, AD scored twenty one.

454
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: Looked all right, I thought, as the Lakers beat the Spurs,

455
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 2: task thoughts on AD and maybe even really there in

456
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 2: his debut for LA.

457
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 3: This is how you do it if you're the Lakers.

458
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: You come in before your rival week game just to

459
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: get a little warm up. Anthony Davis comes in the

460
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: game before they play the Celtics Saturday night, National TV,

461
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 3: get the legs going. I thought the block block shots

462
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: were the most impressive thing. The defense is lacking for

463
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: this team at times. And if his four block shots,

464
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: he looked ridiculously healthy. And here's the question, now it's

465
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: January twenty sixth. If this team wants to make a run,

466
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: he's got to be healthy for you know, a little

467
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: under five months if they want to go deep into

468
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 3: the postseason and go to an NBA Finals. And I

469
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: think that's the one thing that I sort of forget

470
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 3: about when you look at the championship run because it

471
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: was the pandemic year. They had all sorts of time

472
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: off before they went to the bubble, and he just

473
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 3: had to be healthy for two months and obviously he

474
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: was and he was amazing. And now he's he's got

475
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 3: to string together months that he doesn't usually do. He

476
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 3: doesn't usually put together five plus months of complete health,

477
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: and they're going to need that if they're going to

478
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: climb the standings, because yeah, they're not far out of it,

479
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: as we all know, as we always talk about, but

480
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: at the same time, you got to have consistency and listen,

481
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: they weathered it really well without him, and now it's

482
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: going to be really interesting to see if he plays

483
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 3: with Thomas Bryant, because Brian's been playing well. If they're

484
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: going to start, you know, him at the four or five.

485
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: Darvin Ham is saying ruiy Atramura is likely to start

486
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: at some point, So that would mean Lebron at the four,

487
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: Achimura at the three, and Atchimore came off the along

488
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 3: with Anthony Davis and yeah, solid, solid game, just hitting

489
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: open shots and that's what he's got to do. He

490
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: looks like a scorer out there, so his his his

491
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: averages is what he hit yesterday twelve six and one,

492
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 3: a perfect Ruie game, and yeah, warm up for Saturday night,

493
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: ABC LA Boston. Good job Rivals week.

494
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: The end of Rivals Week, we will toat Yeah.

495
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 3: That's the commence. That's the end of it.

496
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 2: Look with Ad, we had a scare with him at

497
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: the end of the third quarter. I don't know if

498
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: you saw him attempt a three pointer near center court.

499
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 2: He's fouled by Zach Collins, who was assessed a flagrant

500
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: one for taking away eighty's landing space. But that contact

501
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: caused Ad to fall to the floor. Looked like that

502
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 2: right ankle, you know, the same leg that kept him

503
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: out there for a while. It looked like it's sprained

504
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: or twisted. But he did stay in the game, made

505
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: all all of his free throws, and he said after

506
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: the game quote, foot is fine, ankle is fine, body

507
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: feels good. But oh god, this guy just comes back

508
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 2: and he's already down. But yeah, I guess it was

509
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: just a little tweak. Any thoughts Trey on Ad or Lakers.

510
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think good for both of them.

511
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 6: Not spectacular by any means, but like Anthony Davis scored

512
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 6: in a variety of ways. He hit a three when

513
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 6: everybody was collapsed around Lebron. Like Tass said, the defense

514
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 6: and the rebounding were major, which is probably the most

515
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 6: important thing that Anthony Davis is going to bring to

516
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 6: this Lakers team, make him a more respectable defense. And

517
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 6: then I thought, Ruy Hacha Mura did what he's gonna

518
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 6: need to do to be effective with the Lakers. He

519
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 6: did hit one, catch and shoot three. He had an

520
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 6: ISO bucket at one point, he was running in transition.

521
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 6: Eventually he'll figure out how to catch these delicious passes

522
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: from the Lebron James and throw down a dunk instead

523
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 6: of a reverse layup.

524
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 4: But for you.

525
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 6: Know, maybe not the toughest opponent. I thought it was

526
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 6: a smart play by the Lakers. Bring these couple of

527
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 6: guys in together, get them a little bit of run

528
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 6: with Lebron and ramp up. Try to keep everybody healthy

529
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 6: and on the same page, because now they've got at

530
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 6: least options in this arting lineup. Right, you could bring

531
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 6: Ruey off the bench and go with a very big

532
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 6: lineup with Thomas Bryanton ad Ad of course, has been

533
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 6: playing a lot better when he's the center out there,

534
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 6: so I think that will be the long term plan

535
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 6: will be to go with that little bit of smaller lineup,

536
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 6: but at least Darvin Ham can make some choices now

537
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 6: and we wait and see tasks.

538
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: If the Lakers and Polinka move off of Westbrook Loney

539
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: Walker or Patrick Beverley along with one or two of

540
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: those future first round picks, do they make a move,

541
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: are they aggressive? Do they try and get a healed

542
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: or a Zach Lavine. I saw rumors floating around, like

543
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: are they ready to move off of those and try

544
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: and get a player that could help them win a

545
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: championship or at least go far in the playoffs. We'll see.

546
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: We don't know. We've been talking about it all season long,

547
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: but now's the time to find out over the next

548
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: couple weeks.

549
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are floating rumors that I'm not buying that. Obviously,

550
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: Zach loves La, but maybe a few weeks ago and

551
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: things weren't great for Zach. I mean, probably like six

552
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: weeks ago. But Rob Plinka looked really happy sitting beside

553
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 3: we're at the press conference. There, big smile.

554
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: I've always like that though.

555
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: He's got a very big smile whenever they Yeah, I

556
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: think he hasn't been allowed the last few months to

557
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: smile though this because he hasn't made a move for Lebron.

558
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: But now I think he's basically said, hey, Lebron, you

559
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: got your guy. Go in that ship. I think that's it.

560
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 2: You got your guy. Your guy is Ruey Hachemura.

561
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 4: Wow, I got your guy.

562
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of Lebron, he was held with

563
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 2: twenty points, his lowest output since November fourth, I believe.

564
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: But he is one hundred and fifty eight points shy

565
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 2: of surpassing Kreem Abdul Jabbar's thirty three and eighty seven.

566
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: So just if you're if you're keeping track of that,

567
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: I know our WhatsApp chat was popping off this morning

568
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: where the guys are trying to figure out when's he

569
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: gonna do it? When's he gonna happen. It's gonna happen

570
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: at home against the Bucks right before the All Star break, right, so, uh,

571
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: it's six or seven games basically, Uh, maybe five to

572
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: seven games with this guy, So getting close. Okay, uh,

573
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: final game here that we can touch on any of

574
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: other ones if you want to. We had James Harden

575
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: and Tyrese Maxey leading the seventy six ers past the

576
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: nets one thirty seven thirty three tests. You already alluded

577
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: to it. Rivalry week. Baby, we finally got Joel Embiid

578
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: versus Ben Simmons, and uh it was It was fun.

579
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: There was some like exchanging words and some bumps and

580
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: hell there was a dx crotch chop in there generation

581
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: so you know, it was nice that these guys finally

582
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: played against each other. And god, the game took forever.

583
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: It took so long, this game, but it was close

584
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 2: in the end because the nets were hanging around and

585
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: it was a fun finish.

586
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: Steph Curry gets ejected for a throw in a mouthguard.

587
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: Joe Embiid can hump the air all he wants, No

588
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 3: big deal. It was like a triple hump.

589
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: No big deal, three good suckets.

590
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: He went for it.

591
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 4: You knowsary of raw.

592
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 6: So they're letting anything slide this week. You know it's

593
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 6: Royal Rumble Riek week. They're like, get your wrestling references

594
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 6: in now. Yeah, next week it's twenty five thousand dollars.

595
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 3: Fine, damn, I didn't catch that cross promotion. It's totally true.

596
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: Embiid in the Royal Rumble.

597
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 4: Woo wow, make it an appearance?

598
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?

599
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: I love him, he would love it. I think Darryl

600
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 3: Mory would okay that. You know, sometimes he got into

601
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: contracts guys can't snowboard or whatever in the opposon he

602
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: would let w he would let he would let him go.

603
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: Darryl Mourry's cool like that. But I think it was

604
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: clear it was NBA Rivels week the first two minutes

605
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: because the nets switch everything. Nick Clackson, who's guarding Joel Embiid,

606
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: comes in and picks Ben Simmons, and Ben Simmons get

607
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: switched onto Joel Embiid, and I think Joel Embiid got

608
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: freaking excited to take it to his old teammate, and

609
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: that's why he missed. He wasn't great against Ben Simmons

610
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: those first couple possessions in the post. But yeah, I

611
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: think that just overall the Sixers were a little to

612
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: just a little too excited, and especially Embiid. He was

613
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: john at Nick Claxon, apparently set to Nick Clackson say

614
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: that again to my face, and Nick Claxton did not

615
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: say it again to his face. According to Joel Embiid,

616
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: he pumped that air. Seth Curry, who was involved in

617
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: that trade, was talking trash to his former teammates dancing

618
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: in front of the bench, and Harden really was the

619
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 3: guy who put it away also part of that trade,

620
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: and sometimes sometimes I forget that he was traded from

621
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: the Nets to Philly. But in a game where Embiid

622
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 3: didn't have it six of eighteen, the supporting cast really

623
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: came through. And of course not PJ. Tucker, he doesn't score,

624
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 3: but the other guy's Harris seven eleven, Melton seven to ten,

625
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: Maxi eight or fourteen off the bench was six threes

626
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: and then Harden closed out the game after they gave

627
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 3: up that double digit lead. In the last four minutes,

628
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: Harden had two step back threes and then a blow

629
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: by layup. He looked fast going by Royce O'Neill. And

630
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: it was a game where they did not deserve to win.

631
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 3: They I really think they, you know, were We're all

632
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: up in the emotional part of the game. They let

633
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: the Nets shoot sixty four percent from the floor. They

634
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 3: didn't play defense. That's the first time that an NBA

635
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: team lost shooting sixty four percent since nineteen eighty two. Wow,

636
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 3: per statues forty years. When you shoot sixty four, I

637
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: mean they hit basically two of three shots. They shot

638
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 3: really well from three to two, but the sixers were Yeah,

639
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, they weren't into it, but they ended

640
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: up winning because of those other guys, which is what

641
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: they want. We want a game like this where Embiid

642
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: doesn't have it going but the other dudes come through.

643
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, they also won because they just put so much

644
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: pressure on the other team at getting to the line,

645
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: be an Embiad or the other guys. They shot thirty

646
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: five to thirty six at the free throw line, Like

647
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: that's how you win a game where the other team

648
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 2: shoots sixty five percent basically from the floor. And yeah,

649
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 2: I mean I thought Claxton played really well but got

650
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: foul trouble of course going against the Monster and Embiid,

651
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: but Simon's getting in foul trouble and all that, and

652
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: it was just that's tough, and which makes for honestly

653
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 2: an ugly watch too. There's a lot of free throws,

654
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: there's a lot of stops. There was all these technicals.

655
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: It's fun on one hand because it does seem like

656
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: they hate each other and you got the crowd boom

657
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons. But on the other hand, it just, oh

658
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: my God, it just took so long. Thankfully the Nets

659
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: did like they went on that run and it was

660
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: suddenly I couldn't believe it was a tie game like

661
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: it was like and Doris Burke credit to her. She

662
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 2: kept calling it out during the broadcast, like Nets are

663
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: hanging around. Nets are hanging around, like Sixers are not

664
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: putting them away. And in the end, Philly led by

665
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: Harden like you said, Tash with those threes and the

666
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: setup at the end that got it done. Any thoughts TK, Yeah,

667
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: you know.

668
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 6: The only time any defense was played in this game

669
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 6: was in the fourth quarter when the Nets went to

670
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 6: zone for a little bit and it threw the Sixers off.

671
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 6: Both of these teams were basically out one hundred points

672
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 6: at the end of three quarters. That's definitely more of

673
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 6: a Nets game than a Sixers game. But my main

674
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 6: takeaway is that NBA players and coaches.

675
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 4: Are big time liars.

676
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: It's rivals week, and nobody wants to admit that their rivals,

677
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: the Grizzlies and Warriors, won't give each other credit, saying

678
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 6: it's not a rivalry at all. Doc Rivers said, yeah,

679
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 6: we're past that. We're totally past the Ben Simmons trade

680
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 6: from last year.

681
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 4: Nobody cares anymore. What a liar.

682
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 6: Nobody cared more about it than Joelle Embiid last night,

683
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 6: and you could tell right away he was going at Simmons.

684
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 6: It was awesome to actually watch the match up on

685
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: each other. And I also felt like Embiid was playing

686
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 6: more post up basketball than face up basketball. He was like,

687
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be a big badass inside rather than doing

688
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 6: sweet moves and you know, playing my usual take what

689
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 6: they give me kind of game. He was forcing the issue.

690
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 6: They were all beefing and getting in each other's faces.

691
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: I thought there were some weak double texts in this

692
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 6: game a week technical on Simmons with George Nian as well.

693
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 6: So it's funny to me that it is rivals week.

694
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 6: This felt like a very rivalry game. They just won't

695
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 6: admit it until it's over.

696
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think Ben Simmons he needs the NBA to

697
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: call every week Rivals Week, because that was like some

698
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: of the fiercest basketball we've seen some from Ben Simmons

699
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: for a good stretch last game too, he was actually

700
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: locked in and attacking and like hitting free throws and

701
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So yeah, they're they're lying if they didn't,

702
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 2: if they're trying to say this is just a normal

703
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 2: late January game, like they obviously wanted to prove a point.

704
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 2: It even was like Kevin Durant is tweet basically live

705
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: tweeting the game, and then Joelle Embiid is before he's

706
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: talked to the media after the game is like, ha,

707
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: it gets off a sucket response to uh to Kevin,

708
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: like it's like, I mean, on one hand, I hope

709
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: these teams meet in the playoffs. On the other, I

710
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: don't because it'll be just like a well, I guess

711
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: it's a little different with Katie in there, but it's

712
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 2: it's not pretty basketball. I'll just put it that way.

713
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: But if you hate each other, then it makes for

714
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: a fun fight.

715
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 3: It was. It was disappointing that jacq Von didn't play

716
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons down the stretch. He literally didn't play the

717
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: last nine minutes of the game. And I think Doc

718
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 3: Rivers would force like, if the situation was reversed, Doc

719
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 3: would would have played him and force him to play

720
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 3: down the stretch. He didn't, you know, multiple non shooters

721
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: on the floor, but he just had his best stretch

722
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 3: there in the third quarter. He didn't really have much

723
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 3: going offensively in the first half, but in the third

724
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: quarter you got it going ten points and yeah, didn't

725
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 3: play at the end because they wanted shooting.

726
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: Well, he didn't score it because they were like down

727
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: seven or eight points there for a majority of it,

728
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 2: and like you need Kurry and Kyrie and those guys.

729
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so that's that's the weird thing about playing Ben.

730
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 3: Oh we need scoring. But now we're gonna sit him down.

731
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 3: And Kyrie was bawling obviously that beautiful finish there to

732
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 3: tie it up at the end. And yeah, they weren't

733
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: talking it up beforehand. But Doc Rivers did say he

734
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: wanted to smack Seth Curry, his son in law. After

735
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: the game. He said, I was going to go over

736
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: and see my grandkids on Sunday, but I think I'm

737
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 3: gonna go smack Seth Curry instead because he just put

738
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 3: thirty thirty on us. So you know, that's old school.

739
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 3: Coach can get away with that. I don't know if

740
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 3: players can say I want to smack that guy.

741
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: Seth Curry has some fascinating facial hair going on right now.

742
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: I really noticed that last night that it's like he

743
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: has a beard, but there's parts where it's not there,

744
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 2: and like the goes really high up his face too.

745
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 2: Just a final note on that game.

746
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 4: It feels like it runs in the family.

747
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Trey Young thirty three points, high scoring game

748
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: against the thunder Hawks, got it done. Kyle Kuzma thirty

749
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: three points, Wizards beat the Rockets. Giannis helped the Bucks

750
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: beat the short haanded Nuggets. No Yokic in this one

751
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 2: eight point victory for them. Wolves spoiled Brandon Ingram's attorney

752
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: did come back. It looked a little rusty. Pelicans lost

753
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: one eleven, one two to Minnesota and then Wow, Raptors.

754
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 2: That's the old Raptors. They went into Sacramento and took

755
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 2: care of business. Maybe their best game of the year,

756
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: especially on the defensive end. Siakom scored twenty six. Any

757
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 2: thoughts on any of those five games.

758
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: Tests Raps swallowing the Kings. They were everywhere watching that

759
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 3: back my goodness. But yeah, the Brandon Ingram thing is great.

760
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 3: On one hand, two months that he missed coming back,

761
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 3: but now they got to win some games. They are

762
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 3: the one team that has come back to the pack

763
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference. Denver and Memphis clear, Kings sort

764
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 3: of clear, but New Orleans has come back because they're

765
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 3: three and eleven over their last fourteen games, lost six straight.

766
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm watching.

767
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 5: I know.

768
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: We talked about the happiest fan bases, and I thought

769
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 3: the Pels you could stick them in there. But definitely

770
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: an inflection point here, a worrisome part of the season

771
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 3: because they could plumb it. They could miss the playoffs

772
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: without Zion for a while. They need Brandon Ingram to

773
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 3: step up, and he was four of eighteen yesterday. It's

774
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 3: fine one game, but hopefully you can come back and

775
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: help them out because I thought they were sort of

776
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: like the Kings. We were talking about them as the

777
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: best story of the season. What it was it five

778
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 3: weeks ago they were first in the West and now

779
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: they're sort of with the big chunkers, the glut. What

780
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: are people calling it?

781
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 4: The Great Midwest?

782
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 3: Ah, it's very good. This was very good. They're part

783
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 3: of the Mids right now, so hopefully they can play

784
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: ball a little bit better.

785
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 6: I thought that was a really nice win for the Timberwolves,

786
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 6: and I thought go Beart was awesome. He was good

787
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 6: on defense, but his offensive game was actually pretty effective

788
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 6: last night. Seventeen points, twelve boards, three assists. I thought

789
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 6: Kyle Anderson and Anthony Edwards did a really good job

790
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 6: of looking to get him involved when the Bigs stepped

791
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 6: up to them. Rudy Gobert made multiple plays in the

792
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 6: short role. Timberwolves nine and four in January, eighth in offense,

793
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 6: tenth in defense. They're beating mostly bad teams. They've only

794
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 6: got a couple of bad losses though, but they seem

795
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 6: to be doing okay. I saw Britt Robson had a

796
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 6: tweet that this is the second best record that the

797
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,479
Speaker 6: Timberwolves have had after fifty games since two thousand and four.

798
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 2: Holy yeah, it's like a year.

799
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 6: It feels like a disappointing season, but it was like

800
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 6: the Jimmy season when they went to the playoffs last

801
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 6: year they had the exact same record at the fifty

802
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 6: game mark, and then this year they're five hundred again.

803
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 6: So a nice win for the Timberwolves on the road

804
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 6: against the Pelicans, team that should have had a little

805
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 6: more juice with getting Brandon Ingram back.

806
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anthony Edwards, man, he is trying to make a late,

807
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: late push here for an All Star selection. You know,

808
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: getting picked by the coaches. I think, oh might be

809
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: a little too late, especially with like some other great

810
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: guards there, like Fox and I guess Booker being injured

811
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: maybe helps his case of sneaking in. But he's on

812
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: one right now. It's great to see.

813
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 6: All right, we're gonna take a first break. Hold on,

814
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 6: I got two more takes, got two more takes. Sorry, buddy, Sorry, buddy,

815
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 6: got two more takes. The Magic, the Magic beat the Pacers.

816
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if I heard that come up, but buddy,

817
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 6: he'll stuffed the stat sheet again. Twenty one points, four rebounds,

818
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 6: five assists, four steals, zero blocks, but six made three pointers.

819
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 6: Would you be okay with calling that a five by

820
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 6: five junior or a junior five by five? You know,

821
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 6: like you get a whopper junior junior bacon cheeseburger. It's

822
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 6: a little bit smaller version of a five by five.

823
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: Uh No, no, I'm gonna go no, Not in today's

824
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 2: game with these threes.

825
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 6: If everybody's sitting there, that's a good point. Not in

826
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 6: today's game with these threes. So I'm on, buddy, healed

827
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 6: five by five, watch until until further notice. My other

828
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 6: take I've seen it a little bit in the stream

829
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 6: team here.

830
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: We got to bring it up.

831
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 6: The NBA really drop the ball with regards to scheduling

832
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 6: the Nuggets and the Bucks. Denver was playing their third

833
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 6: game in four nights last night. They went from Denver

834
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 6: to New Orleans and then Milwaukee. Those last two are

835
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 6: on a back to back, so Nicola Jokic and Jamal

836
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 6: Murray rest.

837
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: We don't get to see Jannis versus Jokic. That's a bummer.

838
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 6: Even worse, the next time they play in March, Milwaukee

839
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 6: will be in their third game in four nights, traveling

840
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 6: from Milwaukee to Utah to Denver, Utah, Denver back to

841
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: back is like the worst one in the league. So

842
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 6: you're not gonna see Milwaukee's player playing that game against

843
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 6: the Nuggets, which means we're not gonna see Yannis versus Joki.

844
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 6: That's the last four MVPs. Yeah, and they're not gonna

845
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 6: play this season.

846
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a that's a mistake there by the

847
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 2: schedule makers. That's just another reason maybe to cut some games,

848
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: get rid of these pas.

849
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 4: They gotta, they gotta. That's that's ridiculous.

850
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 6: That's honestly ridiculous to not have the last four MVPs

851
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 6: play against each other in the season. Yeah, separate the games,

852
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 6: give them three and five nights.

853
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 4: There are ways to do it.

854
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

855
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 4: The season starts later now too. That's another weird part.

856
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 6: Remember when they made a big deal about starting the

857
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 6: season like two weeks earlier. They've just been pushing it back,

858
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 6: and now the games are all chunked up together together again,

859
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 6: and we're robbed of matchups that really really matter.

860
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, for sure. Yeah, there's there's only two

861
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: ways to decide this. It's like, you ether force these

862
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: players to play, which goes against everything that they're trying

863
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: to tell us about, like saving their bodies and having

864
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 2: them ready for play series and stuff like that. Or yeah,

865
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: you remove the any possibility of them sitting because of

866
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 2: back to backs by just taking it off the schedule.

867
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 2: So either making the season longer and more space if

868
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: you want to keep these eighty two games, or like

869
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 2: everybody else wants to do, just cut some games and

870
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 2: make them more important. Yeah.

871
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I still think they will find a way

872
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 3: to set even if you reduce back to backs. They

873
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 3: just will find it at home.

874
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 4: You should only be able to sit at home that's

875
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 4: for sure.

876
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's sort of a happy medium.

877
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: You start the season a month earlier. The NBA wants

878
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 3: it to be a twelve month sport and just make it,

879
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 3: just make it longer, no back to backs that way,

880
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,760
Speaker 3: and they'll still find, yeah, some spots. The home court

881
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 3: rules as a decent rule, but that's probably a decent medium.

882
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 3: The guys will have to come to work a month earlier,

883
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 3: but they're already ready to play in the off season anyway.

884
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well let's take our first break. When

885
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: we come back. We're going to get into the Golden

886
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: State Warriors and the possibility many of them losing. GM

887
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: Bob Myers don't go anywhere. This is an interesting thought

888
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 2: here from Josh who messaged us on Instagram. I just

889
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: saw it talking about Rivals Week. Hey guys, longtime listener,

890
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 2: first time caller. I love the idea of Rivals Week,

891
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: but I think it could go even further. I want

892
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 2: all four LA versus LA games to take place in

893
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,439
Speaker 2: Rivals Week. I think it could be great at galvanizing

894
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: fans for the rest of the season. And since it's

895
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 2: the same city, no one needs to travel, No extended

896
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: road trips. So Josh wants just all four of the

897
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: Lakers Clippers games back to back to back to back

898
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 2: within Rivals Week. You can do the same for the Nets,

899
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 2: and next you can pick some other teams and just

900
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 2: have the entire series task baseball style in Rivals Week thoughts.

901
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 3: Here are my thoughts on Josh's Instagram message to us. Josh,

902
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 3: I've had enough of these LA fans, to be honest,

903
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: I've been seeing them all up in the comments I'm

904
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 3: reading on the Athletic the Anthony Davis report from yesterday.

905
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 3: Here's a comment from Zacharyoh on The Athletic eight hours

906
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 3: and thirty four minutes ago. My great hope, as one

907
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 3: of them, as one of many of the fans of

908
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 3: both the Lakers and the Clippers, is that both teams

909
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 3: finish the season strong and injury free and meet in

910
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals. This isn't just what the NBA needs,

911
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: this is what the city of LA needs. Get ay here,

912
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 3: Zach and Josh. There are other teams in the league.

913
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: You know they exist. No thanks, Josh, Okay, Let's just.

914
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: Move on, all right. The Athletic had a big article

915
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 2: yesterday that popped off why the Warriors are in danger

916
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: of losing Bob Myers. Guy, go check this one out.

917
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 2: Go to the Athletic dot com slash no, don't get

918
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 2: yourself a subscription. Bob Myers remains without a contract with

919
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: the Warriors beyond this season, and there is an increasing

920
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 2: reality that he could leave the franchises franchise, excuse me.

921
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 2: Sources tell The Athletic that Myers thinks he should be

922
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: among the highest paid front office executives in the NBA,

923
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: and like, according to their work and their sources, Myers

924
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: ranks outside of the top five when it comes to

925
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 2: executive salaries. He might be sixth, seventh, eighth. Bob Myers

926
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: is doing okay, all right. It makes a lot of money.

927
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: But you know this report here from our guys at

928
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 2: the Athletic possibly setting up tasks the idea of, like,

929
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 2: hey pay the man and put him in the top five,

930
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: if not the highest paid executive, or this idea that

931
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 2: he might be looking to go do something else completely

932
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 2: he's in the podcast game, or maybe go to another

933
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: team and help them try and turn it around. I

934
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: don't know you had a chance to read this task.

935
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: Andy thoughts on Bob Myers potentially leaving the words.

936
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely read it. Of course, he had had

937
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: a successful career as an agent prior to joining the Warriors'

938
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 3: front office, so I mean, he can do what he wants.

939
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 3: He can join enter the podcast game. Is a coincidence

940
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 3: that he just dropped a pod with Steph Curry as

941
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 3: his first guest. Maybe he's burnt out under the lights

942
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 3: of a decade. There also, you know the whole Draymond

943
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 3: Green scenario. Maybe it is a scenario where they're all

944
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 3: sort of you know, air quotes done to some degree.

945
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 3: You know, they're just kind of tired of it all.

946
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 3: Maybe the agent life is a better life. I also

947
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 3: just read on the Athletic from Mike working Off that

948
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 3: Mike Miller is Paulo Boncarro's agent. Awesome read. I had

949
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 3: no totally totally went past me this offseason that that

950
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 3: Mike Miller is working out with bon Carrow and he's

951
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 3: got that advantage over other agents. He's got that basketball

952
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 3: connection and he played played U S Double A or

953
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: U C l A soget about there. You see Double

954
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 3: A should be a school, maybe.

955
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 6: A lot of schools out there. I'd love to see

956
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 6: all the agents go head to head. I guess bj

957
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 6: Armstrong might have a chance out there as well. Sounds

958
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 6: like an All Star weekend of It agent ball. Yeah,

959
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 6: winner gets the hottest free agent client.

960
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: I like it.

961
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 4: That's not bad, not bad. Tell you what.

962
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: Are your takeaways?

963
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 6: My two takeaways is that, Wow, this Warriors team really

964
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 6: is the last dance we got dynasty players being ushered out.

965
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 6: It feels very much like this is a Joe lakeup

966
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 6: organizations win championships sort of thing, with him being more

967
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 6: and more involved in personnel decisions and maybe being a

968
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 6: little reticent to.

969
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 4: Pay Bob Myers his money.

970
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 6: It doesn't go good when ownership starts valuing the wrong

971
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 6: things and wants to prove that they are the reason

972
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 6: for winning. When Bob Meyers showed up to the Warriors,

973
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 6: they were an absolute joke. Twenty three wins the season

974
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 6: that the season before. Bob Meyers showed up and he

975
00:47:55,719 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 6: completely changed the culture, alongside Steph Curry and Steve Kerr,

976
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 6: Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. And it feels like three

977
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 6: of those five are at least feeling like they may

978
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 6: be on the way out.

979
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 4: That is a problem.

980
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 6: So bad stuff I think if I'm a warrior span

981
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 6: But the other part is is that you gotta be

982
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 6: a little bit hopeful that this is a lot of

983
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 6: people who want Bob Myers to stay around, putting pressure

984
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 6: on ownership to pay up because the guys should probably

985
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 6: be the highest paid GM.

986
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 2: In the league. Yeah, that was one of my takeaways

987
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: from this. And Bob Myers was not quoted in this article.

988
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 2: I guess, you know, they obviously went to him and

989
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: wanted to hear his thoughts, but he declined. But I

990
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: was thinking reading this, like, yeah, they there are people

991
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: within that organization that want him to stick around and

992
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 2: think he's deserving of being in this top five. And

993
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: we're talking like at the level of like like ten

994
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: million dollars here tasks for a GM of that stature

995
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: that doesn't count on your books when it comes to

996
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 2: building your team. You know, that's just an expense there

997
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 2: for for your owners. But yeah, that's what that was

998
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 2: one of my takeaways. And and the other one I

999
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 2: guess is too, like if they're not going to pay

1000
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 2: him and he does want to stay in the NBA

1001
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 2: and be an executive GM, is like you must be

1002
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 2: you must be salivating if you're an owner of the Suns,

1003
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: the new Son's owner, the Wizards, you know the I

1004
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 2: guess the Knicks are always going to come up the

1005
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 2: Clippers as possible franchises that would be very interested in

1006
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 2: getting someone like Bob Myers to come in and try

1007
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 2: and either turn around their franchise or take it to

1008
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: the next level. So we'll see. Hopefully Bob gets paid

1009
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 2: or he just goes maybe he just wants to maybe

1010
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: sees how lucrative it is in podcasting and U and

1011
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, sees the numbers we're doing. It's like, hey,

1012
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: I could do that.

1013
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 4: That's absolutely right.

1014
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 6: Because he said I think it was Mike Workanoff that

1015
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 6: that was did the piece about him launching this podcast.

1016
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 6: Bob Meyers says he doesn't have time to listen to podcasts.

1017
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 6: Oh jeez, just time to make him that's it, just

1018
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 6: hopping the stew for a few hours.

1019
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to listen back to your own podcast

1020
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: at the very least. How else are you gonna get better?

1021
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to listen to your own podcast

1022
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 2: that apparently you just slipped into Zach Lowe's podcast feed.

1023
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: But he doesn't know how to start a podcast feed.

1024
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 4: Yet the parts waiting for the approvals.

1025
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Zach, could you just check this up here? All right,

1026
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: we'll see you there. Okay. As you all know, NBA

1027
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 2: Top Shot has partnered with the Players Association to identify

1028
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: the fifty players that define this season and the moments

1029
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: that define their greatness. The first wave we showed you

1030
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 2: last week. It was ten guys. Now, this was selected

1031
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: based off their performance from tip off through the end

1032
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 2: of November. They were you see it here on the

1033
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 2: screen if you're on YouTube, Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, John Morant,

1034
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, Shake Gildas, Alexander Dwell, Embiid, Kevin Durant,

1035
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 2: Luca Dodgee and Steph Curry. We had some fun last

1036
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 2: week voting on six of those players. I guess where

1037
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 2: they had two moments that we were like debating which

1038
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 2: one's better, which one should be their Top Shot moment

1039
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. Again, this top ten

1040
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: is just the first wave of players. It's not a

1041
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 2: ranking system from the Players Association, just the first group

1042
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 2: of ten players. But Trey, you thought it would be

1043
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: fun to come up with a list of maybe random

1044
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: guys or maybe not of the superstar level that you

1045
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 2: would like to see over the next four waves of

1046
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 2: players here in the Top shot fifty that you hope

1047
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: the Players Association and the Players Vota.

1048
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm calling them random players because at the best

1049
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 6: they are on the fringes of All Star discussion right now,

1050
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 6: so you know, maybe the second or third best player

1051
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 6: on their team. We're not talking about your Lebrons or

1052
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 6: your Yokic's here, We're talking about just fan favorites. And

1053
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 6: I'm even leaving off some of my favorites, like a

1054
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 6: Kuzma or a Sengu. So here's my five random players

1055
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 6: I hope make the Top shot fifty because I feel

1056
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 6: like they've been important to this season.

1057
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 4: Ranked as it is. I'll say my first choice.

1058
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 6: Brook Lopez, I think needs to be in the top

1059
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 6: fifty here, early Defensive Player of the Year candidate, really

1060
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 6: was helpful to the Bucks on their hot start this season,

1061
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 6: scoring a.

1062
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 4: Whole bunch more.

1063
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that after he missed a

1064
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 6: lot of time last year, we've just seen that Brook

1065
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 6: Lopez is a really good player and has kind of

1066
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 6: been instrumental in the Bucks being a really good defense

1067
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 6: Once again. You can also throw in the skirmish with

1068
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 6: Gary Trent Junior and his interview afterwards as cool moments.

1069
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 4: So I think he has certainly been relevant to this season.

1070
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 4: Brook Lopez, you're making the list.

1071
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: You want his moment to be ripping Gary Trent Junior's

1072
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 2: headman off.

1073
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 6: I would love for that to be the moment, or

1074
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 6: at least find a way to slip it in there

1075
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 6: in the melt footage something along those lines. Okay, brook

1076
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 6: brook Lopez. Also making my list. Another fringe All Star

1077
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 6: candidate Aaron Gordon. Perfect role with the Denver Nuggets right now,

1078
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 6: great offensively, great defense. I assume his moments would probably

1079
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 6: be one of the dunks from Christmas Day, something along

1080
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 6: those lines. But he's got a ton of dunks for

1081
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 6: the entirety of the season. A little All Star buzz.

1082
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 6: Don't know if he'll make it, but he makes my

1083
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 6: top fifty.

1084
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that one task you're all in.

1085
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 3: Well done, well done. I like these guys because they

1086
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 3: may not get All Star recognition maybe yes, maybe no,

1087
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 3: but also stand out with their plays. The dunk from

1088
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 3: Christmas Day, you know, decimating the Suns there minute thirty left,

1089
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 3: that huge Airborne dunk like he's like he's air Gordon

1090
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 3: taken off there and Brook Lopez. Yeah, I love the

1091
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 3: flick of the headband, but also the yelling afterward. That

1092
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 3: would have to be a part of it. And hopefully

1093
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 3: NBA top shots cool with that, just non basketball play

1094
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 3: yelling and a flick of a headband, you want to

1095
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 3: make some headlines. There you go.

1096
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 6: Next on the list, the Utah Jazz is Jordan Clarkson. Well,

1097
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 6: heard a lot more about Clarkson earlier in the season,

1098
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 6: but he's scoring like usual, has certainly improved his passing.

1099
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: The new.

1100
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 6: Narrative around Jordan Clarkson is that he's super important to

1101
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 6: jazz culture, which is why he.

1102
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 4: May or may not be traded at the deadline.

1103
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 6: But I think he's been entertaining to watch, and I

1104
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 6: also like that he has two separate instances of putting.

1105
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 4: Up his dukes this season.

1106
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: Squaring up.

1107
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's squaring up.

1108
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 6: So Jordan Clarkson, you make my list top fifty important guy.

1109
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: I remember tasks early in the year trying to convince

1110
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 2: us that Jordan Clarkson was just as deserving as of

1111
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 2: All Star love as Lowry markten. I remember those days

1112
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 2: on the podcast, it has I feel like it's disappeared

1113
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 2: a little bit.

1114
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, those were the days the Jazz were the one seed.

1115
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 3: They deserved two All Stars at the time, and they

1116
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 3: should have got They should have both been there. But

1117
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 3: uh yeah, thinks of thanks of falling off for the

1118
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 3: for them overall. But h surprisingly, Clarkson's numbers really haven't

1119
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 3: dropped off that much. This is Clarkson's best year and

1120
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 3: to see him as a starter, he's pretty efficient. You

1121
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 3: wouldn't think. You wouldn't think that's numbers game.

1122
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 2: What are his numbers this year?

1123
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 3: It's twenty one from the floor, decent percentages.

1124
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: You think maybe one from the floor.

1125
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 3: Sorry, twenty one points per game, twenty one points more

1126
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 3: game from the floor. He hits all his shots from

1127
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 3: the He's twenty one four and four on forty five

1128
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 3: from the floor, thirty five from three. So you know

1129
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 3: who's doing it.

1130
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 4: He's doing it.

1131
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 6: That's why he's one of the random players who makes

1132
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 6: the list one hundred percent. Maybe the lowest scoring player

1133
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 6: to make my list. Steven Adams. He's got two big

1134
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 6: beefs this season. Had Shannon Sharp shaken in his cardigan

1135
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 6: and I already know his moment will be the game

1136
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 6: winning offensive rebound putback against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Steven Adams

1137
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 6: just a fun guy to root for. Is he one

1138
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 6: of the top fifty players in the league this year? Debatable?

1139
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 6: Fun guy, fun guy to watch celebrate a game winning shot?

1140
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 6: Tell you that much?

1141
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 2: Oh my god? Yeah, the big Kiwi for sure. What's

1142
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 2: he average? He wanted to see? Eight point six points

1143
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: per game?

1144
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 4: Yeah? Lower than that, Yeah, probably pretty low.

1145
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess maybe if Draymond makes it, he's

1146
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 6: all right around the same area.

1147
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 3: Maybe Alex Caruso.

1148
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 6: Perhaps Alex Caruso's in my honorable mentions, Thank you very much.

1149
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 3: Wow, five point six points per game for mister Caruso

1150
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 3: this season, give him.

1151
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 4: A steel moment.

1152
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Draymond's at Draymond's at eight. So Steven Adams scores

1153
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: more than Draymond Green. That's so that's sort of weird.

1154
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 2: What do you think about it?

1155
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 3: Apparent setting series?

1156
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, not yet.

1157
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, those will be in the bone Cruncher packs coming

1158
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 6: in March. I do believe my final name to add

1159
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 6: to the list, boy On Bogdanovich, leading scorer for the Pistons,

1160
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 6: Hovering just below fifty forty ninety right now, and he's

1161
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 6: been a trade target since before the season even started,

1162
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 6: So I think certainly a relevant player. And you know,

1163
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 6: it's kind of hard to tell who necessarily will make

1164
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 6: this list from the Pistons, and they deserve somebody because

1165
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 6: they are an NBA team.

1166
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and will they move them, that's a big question

1167
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 2: here as we get closer to the deadline. Bogdanovich, do

1168
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: they sell sell high? I mean, let's be honest, you'd

1169
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 2: be selling probably the highest it'll be on him.

1170
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 3: Man.

1171
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 2: I guess he could do this again next year, especially

1172
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 2: if Gate's back. My gut says he won't. But maybe

1173
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 2: they keep them because, like, hey, it's always nice to

1174
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 2: have some shooting around your young guys, task an a

1175
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: vet and stuff like that. I don't think they're in

1176
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 2: any rush, but if you got offered something you couldn't refuse,

1177
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 2: I think it'd be silly not to move them.

1178
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is thirty four, so I think that plays

1179
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 3: a factor, not just not just what he's offering on

1180
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 3: the table, but yeah, it will be thirty four in

1181
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 3: a couple months, So yeah, I wouldn't be mad either way.

1182
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 3: If I was a Pistons fan if they traded him

1183
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: or they kept him.

1184
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So who's on the honorable mentions list?

1185
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 4: My honorable mentions list? It's just a short one. Buddy

1186
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 4: Healed is on my honorable mention list. But we could

1187
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 4: wait till he gets his five by five. Alex Carriso,

1188
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 4: like task said.

1189
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 6: I believe he's leading the NBA in steal percentage and

1190
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 6: Bowl bull He's got to make it.

1191
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 4: The guy's hung around. He's had a great season.

1192
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 6: And you know he's a top shot favorite to begin with,

1193
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 6: not to mention internet favorite.

1194
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right there it is tk's call him random

1195
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 2: players who should make the Top Shot fifty. And we're

1196
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 2: waiting on waves two, three, four, and five which will

1197
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 2: be coming throughout the season, and we'll be having some

1198
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 2: fun with that chiming in as those waves are released.

1199
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 2: And I'm just trying to figure out who will be

1200
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 2: the most shocking player. Again, this is the players voting

1201
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: on this, like who will be someone where everybody goes

1202
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 2: whoa really like Draymond Green, you know, like someone obviously

1203
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: with the pedigree, accolades rings, but you know, like an

1204
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 2: eight point per game score, Not that he's not a great,

1205
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 2: great player still, but I wonder who it'll be. We'll

1206
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 2: find out. Let's take our final break when we come back.

1207
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: Pick him. Results and Task with tweeted the night. Don't

1208
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 2: go anywhere, right, Somebody call Ellen Cummings because I was

1209
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: a trader last night when it came to the pick him.

1210
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 2: I went against my Raps because they have not been

1211
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: playing well. King's been hot. It's in Sacramento. The line

1212
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 2: was Sacramento by four and a half. I saw that

1213
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 2: go down to three and a half right before tip,

1214
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 2: but Task took Toronto and like we said, I mean

1215
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: I watched it this morning. That was the best team

1216
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 2: defense I've seen from the Raptors all season long, keeping

1217
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 2: the very very hot Sacramento Kings in check. So goodwin

1218
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 2: for Task. You're eight and nine. I'm six and eleven.

1219
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 2: Trey also took the l with me to fall to eleven.

1220
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 2: And so tonight's game Task, where we go. There's a

1221
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 2: bunch of games on for a third night.

1222
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, six games TNT doubleheader, and the second one on

1223
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 3: that TNT skeed is Dallas at Phoenix. You remember the

1224
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:19,959
Speaker 3: old rivalry from last year's postseason. They've played twice they've

1225
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: split so far this season. This is gonna be their

1226
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 3: third game. They both won at home, so that's why

1227
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 3: I'm comfortable taking the Sun's minus one and a half,

1228
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: very small line. They host tonight against the MAVs. Skeetzer

1229
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 3: with me and Trey. Why are you taking the Mavericks

1230
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 3: on the road?

1231
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 4: Who knows?

1232
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 6: This is guaranteed to be a three point game either way?

1233
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 6: Dallas every single game is Luka Dancic will have forty

1234
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 6: to sixty points, ten to fifteen assists, and it'll.

1235
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 4: Come down to the last possession.

1236
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 6: So you know, I'm just going with Luca here because

1237
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 6: he tends to have the Sun's number.

1238
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 2: Yep, that's a good enough reason as any take Dallas

1239
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: there on the road. But yet Son's just got a

1240
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 2: win by two, So hopefully that happens for me and Tessie.

1241
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 2: Let's get to tweet of the night.

1242
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 3: Tweet of the night.

1243
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 8: Wow, we're going to the college game, fellas, because there

1244
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 8: was a crazy scene Loyola Chicago and Duke Caine.

1245
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 3: We're duking it out. All of a sudden, an Uber

1246
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 3: eats delivery guy. A door dash guy walks on the

1247
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 3: floor beside a guy taking a three point shot during

1248
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 3: live play, the referee had to stop and look at him.

1249
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 3: I think we have the video, Jerome. This is absolutely nuts.

1250
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 3: The referee is looking at the floor to see if

1251
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 3: the player is stepping on the sidelight. All of a

1252
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 3: sudden he sees a guy come up who looks who

1253
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 3: literally has he literally has a McDonald's bag and drink

1254
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 3: in his hand, looking to looking to see who he's

1255
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 3: delivering it to, And all of a sudden the ref

1256
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 3: has to say, get off the floor. I've never seen

1257
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 3: such a thing, never seen such a thing. And apparently

1258
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 3: he delivered it to somebody court side and he got

1259
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 3: his fries. He or she got his fries. I don't

1260
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 3: know who ordered McDonald's court side, but somehow that happened

1261
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 3: and it was I don't know how. Can somebody explain it?

1262
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 3: Can somebody explain that?

1263
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 2: I mean, is it gorilla marketing?

1264
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 5: Here?

1265
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 3: Like this this is job? I think, like you barely see.

1266
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 2: That Donald just tweeted the night.

1267
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you like, is it a McDonald's ad a

1268
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 3: door dash at and more?

1269
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 2: I meant more like the door dash, Yeah, the actual service,

1270
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: that would be my guess.

1271
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 3: But is it door dash? For sure?

1272
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 2: I think I saw people, a lot of people thinking

1273
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: it was Huber Eats, and I feel like I saw

1274
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 2: maybe somebody on Twitter confirming it was door Dash instead.

1275
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 3: But who knows.

1276
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: We're talking about both of them. Maybe they paid fifty fifty.

1277
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 3: What about Postmates? Ye see, I don't know. I think

1278
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 3: I think this was just a mess up. I think

1279
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 3: a gorilla marketing would have been done.

1280
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 2: The mess up the guy walks on the damn Like,

1281
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 2: remove the crazy part of somebody ordering door Dash or

1282
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 2: Uber Eats to their seat in an arena. That of

1283
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 2: itself is pretty wild. How did the guy get in,

1284
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: you know, without a take? Like that part's weird. But

1285
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 2: then the guy wanders on the floor. Why he's not

1286
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 2: delivering it to a player or the referee. No, that's

1287
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 2: the part I can't yah.

1288
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 3: It looks it looks like it's somebody in the first

1289
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 3: couple rows and he's in the corner of the floor there.

1290
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 2: So the food found its way to somebody in the

1291
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: front row or.

1292
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 3: Just I don't know if it was the front row. No,

1293
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1294
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that part's I don't get why he's wandering on

1295
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 2: the floor. I just don't understand that part.

1296
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 6: It feels like gorilla marketing definitely, because like why would

1297
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 6: this happen? But the fact that there's not like a

1298
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 6: gigantic logo on the bag that one throws a regendo

1299
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 6: things like because we don't know the brand behind. But

1300
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 6: there's no reason or possible explanation why somebody would show

1301
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 6: up to an arena with a bag of food and

1302
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 6: security be like, yeah, come on in deliver away unless

1303
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 6: it was pre approved.

1304
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could have been in arena delivery like or

1305
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 3: like the delivery person had to go to the stand

1306
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: in delivery.

1307
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 2: So you mean this door dash driver or Uber eats

1308
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 2: driver only operates with.

1309
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's weird. Now he went to like the concess,

1310
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 3: the McDonald's concession and said hey, pick it up and

1311
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 3: h and delivered it for basically, you know, a five

1312
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 3: dollars fee because this person didn't go to the concession

1313
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 3: and pick it up. It's a crazy scenario. It makes

1314
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 3: no sense. You think with the internet we'd have all

1315
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 3: the details, but we don't. Well, we will shout out

1316
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 3: to Siko's committee on Twitter for for clipping that. And

1317
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 3: also I think we have a couple edits. Heaven's FX

1318
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 3: did a couple edits of this gentleman walking into famous

1319
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 3: plays Jordan over Elo while this guy's delivering Mcdonald'say, Scotty, Scotty,

1320
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 3: is this free.

1321
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 2: Anyone named Brad here? I have an order for Brad.

1322
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 3: And then also Hank Aaron on the field, which is

1323
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 3: a great one because somebody did join jump on multi

1324
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:26,919
Speaker 3: way back when Craig.

1325
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is like on the field interviewing him.

1326
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to the late great Craig and this this guy, this,

1327
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 3: this McDonald's guy.

1328
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I don't want to like go

1329
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 2: down this rabbit hole, but you know how we were

1330
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 2: skeptical of the kid with the Jimmy Butler sign and like,

1331
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 2: hold on, what's going on? Is this really real? It's

1332
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 2: a very specific sign all that apparently he's done this

1333
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 2: and his sister have done this also in Golden State

1334
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 2: for Steph Curry. So is this a thing that they do?

1335
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 2: And not to say they're not from Argentina and they've

1336
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 2: come along, but like I don't know that's I mean,

1337
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 2: which one are you? Are you a diehard Jimmy Butler

1338
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 2: fan or a diehard Steph Curry fan? Can you be both?

1339
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 2: Or is this just a part of your move to

1340
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 2: get the ball and the jerseys and the photos and

1341
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 2: the and the you know, the tunnel access. I was

1342
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 2: skeptical when we saw it, and I think I was right.

1343
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 6: Yeahs may have come through on this one. I will say,

1344
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 6: you can be a Steph Curry and a Jimmy Butler

1345
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 6: fan because they're in opposite conferences, So fine by me.

1346
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 6: But we'll know you're onto something if we see another

1347
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 6: delivery on court in the next two weeks. If that happens,

1348
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 6: then this is guaranteed in mistake.

1349
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 3: And I was just trying to enjoy my my Wednesday night.

1350
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 3: I was trying to read a book and I see

1351
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 3: Jerome sends a message, Oh, this has got to be

1352
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 3: a stunt. This has got to be a stunt. And

1353
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 3: that that sent me down the rabbit hole as well.

1354
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 3: I was. I was checking the tweets.

1355
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 2: Oh, the Jimmy Butler kid.

1356
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 3: Jimmy Belly. It's just specifically it's his sister. So the

1357
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 3: the combo that the brother and sister were at that

1358
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 3: the Heat game, apparently she could be the Warriors fan.

1359
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 3: It seems like right, uh, and he is the Jimmy

1360
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 3: Butler fan.

1361
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 5: It's entirely possible. I think I think they're just like

1362
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 5: big NBA fans, and they it seems like they travel

1363
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 5: in I went way too deep and started slacking the guys,

1364
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 5: like in the middle of the night, like scrolling through

1365
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 5: the one that I found here, and I just pulled

1366
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 5: this up with a Google translate. Sheadow Google Translate for

1367
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,919
Speaker 5: that is when they went to the Warriors game. They

1368
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 5: made two versions, one for joabol and one for Steph Curry.

1369
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 5: And then you can see in the translation there eight

1370
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 5: days guys pool in case Steph doesn't give me a ball.

1371
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 2: So honestly, the yeah, I expect the hustle, I'm with you,

1372
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 2: but that's what it is.

1373
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 5: And it was someone who worked on the fans side

1374
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 5: to that is the thing we always love to see

1375
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 5: working like on the team side. Like when we see

1376
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 5: someone hold the sign saying I traveled X amount of

1377
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 5: kilometers or miles to come see this game. We're like,

1378
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 5: we're global. We got like bends all over the world.

1379
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 5: You can have whatever you want and and people are

1380
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 5: onto us.

1381
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 2: That's right, that's it's happened too often. They've seen too

1382
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 2: many clips where so and so has come so far

1383
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 2: and they get the photo, and they get the extra

1384
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 2: gear and yeah.

1385
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 5: The locker room access full video content meeting Jimmy Butler. Honestly,

1386
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 5: I'm not even mad at it.

1387
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 3: I'm just so impressed.

1388
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: All well, we'll find out about this door dash uber

1389
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 2: EA's stunt. I'm sure soon enough one of them will

1390
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 2: be claiming it, or this guy himself will go. You know,

1391
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: he'll have to be like, yeah, they paid me.

1392
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 4: Fifty Maybe it'll be a super Bowl commercial.

1393
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 3: Well, there was somebody who came, so these people did

1394
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,679
Speaker 3: come from Argentina. I think I got a bat that

1395
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 3: that did come. So they didn't come far doing all

1396
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 3: the way Golden State. I saw there.

1397
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 5: Entirely separate trips, like far apart from each other.

1398
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 3: Like yes, totally, and that's fair.

1399
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 2: But they know the move Like Jerome said, it's like,

1400
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 2: bring this sign, tell you how far I traveled, And

1401
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 2: yeah that.

1402
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 5: If you like that much, I think you are. You

1403
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 5: get at least the photo if you travel that far.

1404
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 3: And actually probably worked out better that Jimmy wasn't playing.

1405
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 3: They go to the locker room and they get to

1406
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 3: hang out with him, and there was a fan because

1407
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 3: it's Orlando, I guess doesn't get as much pub But

1408
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 3: last night some fan flew from Italy to see Banco.

1409
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 2: I saw that.

1410
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:45,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, they looked like they were Italian. I think they're

1411
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 3: from Italy.

1412
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 2: Did you get a photo?

1413
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1414
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 2: Sign sign? All right, you gotta have a sign?

1415
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 4: All right, let's call it there.

1416
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 2: Guys, well really fell down the conspiracy NBA rabbit hole.

1417
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 2: The NBA All Star Game starters will be revealed tonight

1418
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 2: on TNT. There's basically three things to watch for. Will

1419
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 2: Jannis maintain his lead over kd to become the Captain

1420
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 2: of the East along with Lebron when we get our

1421
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 2: first schoolyard pick him? He probably will. Does Kyrie keep

1422
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 2: his starting spot in the guard position over Jail and Brown?

1423
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 2: I think he will, But I think it will be

1424
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 2: Kyrie and Donovan Mitchell. But Jayleen Brown could get in theory,

1425
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 2: I guess enough of the media votes and enough of

1426
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 2: the player votes to slip in there. And then who

1427
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 2: starts alongside Lebron and Yokich as that third forward in

1428
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 2: the West. Is it Anthony Davis, who maintained a small

1429
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 2: lead over Zion Williamson. It's probably impossible for anyone else

1430
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 2: It's a lot of people say it should be Sabonis,

1431
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 2: but he was ranked tenth last we saw in the

1432
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 2: fan vote. I don't think that the waiting's gonna work there,

1433
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 2: so it'll probably be eighty or Zion. So we'll find

1434
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 2: out tonight and then tomorrow on the Drop podcast, we

1435
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 2: will make our twenty twenty three NBA All Star Game picks,

1436
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 2: our first past at least where we'll make our fourteen

1437
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 2: selections when it comes to the reserves. And that's always
