34
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: out our definitely not real ballot because they don't give

35
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: us one. We'll explain why Lebron James would beat a

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: horse at the Olympics. It's gonna be a fun tweet

37
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: of the night. Tweets of the night, I should say.

38
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: And hey, Southern lawyer, we got all sales a tray

39
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: that's right ta headed back to the Hawks. We can

40
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: break that one down in a little more detail, and

41
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: a lot of rumors sort of spiraling off of that,

42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: both from the wool side of things and the Hawks haka.

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: But first quickly, just last night, some pretty incredible games.

44
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: Not a lot of games on, but some fun ones.

45
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram drops forty nine points as the Pelicans, they

46
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: survive disputed late call at the end of regulation once

47
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: again involving Rudy Gobert, and get it done in overtime.

48
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: This was the Ingram Versus Mitchell show, both guys going

49
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: for forty five plus so much fun back and forth affair.

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: You know, I don't have a huge question off of this.

51
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't even you know, it's not Is Ingram an

52
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: All Star you probably will be, or anything like that,

53
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: but the Pelicans snapping the Jazz winstreak. Just your takeaways

54
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: from this game or how entertaining it was.

55
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: Well, the fact that brandon Ingram hit a game winner

56
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: was a great sign for me, even though it wasn't

57
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: a game winner that was called back. I think the

58
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: entire Twitter sphere is calling it a game winner because

59
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: that bogus call on Rudy Gobert afterward, Well.

60
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: And the Pelicans went on to win, yeah, in overtime,

61
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: so it's just an extended.

62
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: Game, right. Well, I was debating whether or not the

63
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: game winner. You said, Skeats that he should be an

64
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: All Star. He definitely should be an Also, I was

65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: debating whether or not that game winner gave him a

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: little bit more recognition because it was taken back or

67
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: if it was actually a game winner. And I think

68
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: maybe because it was taken back, a game a little

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: bit more spotlight because people were talking about the Pelicans

70
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: a little bit more because of the foul call, I think,

71
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: and people are noticing, well, brandon Ingram, what is this guy?

72
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: Who is this guy? And it's great that he is

73
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: taking that sort of that number one role. Has really

74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: exceeded expectations. His talent level here in New Orleans after

75
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: moving on from LA has met opportunity or whatever one

76
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: of those cool sayings goes, and he's fantastic. And Zion

77
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: Williamson is the number two when he comes back next week,

78
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: which is kind of odd to say, but he's really

79
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: taking the reins.

80
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: It was nice to see the Smoothie King Center bumping

81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: for that game. That's the very exciting part there for

82
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: a franchise that with Anthony Davis, you know, flor forcing

83
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: his way out and then then unfortunately the Zion injury.

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: It's it was it looked dire at times, like for

85
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: even just being a franchise in the foreseeable future with

86
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: what was going on there. Maybe that's up. Maybe I'm

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: exaggerating a little much. Maybe I'm not, But I like that.

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: I love the energy you start from the crowd because

89
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: it was a great game, and then yeah, oh yeah,

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the Zion's coming back next week.

91
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: I like when the seats are full, by the way

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: in the SMOOTHI King Center, because the seats are ugly.

93
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: So I don't like seeing those chairs. Those I've been in.

94
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: I've been there and purpose and person, and I want

95
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: New Orleans to succeed, but I also want to remake

96
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: of that. Those pleathers they're not They're not so nice.

97
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: They need to be ripped out.

98
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be the bad guy here, and I'll say

99
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 6: that I actually picked that foul was the right call.

100
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Okay. The reason I think Jackson Hayes was holding Rude Albert.

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 6: I didn't get. We didn't get like a reverse angle look.

102
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 6: I didn't see when we only got the sort of

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 6: front on on the side on and from what I

104
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 6: could see, like Rudy Gobert is being pulled down and

105
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 6: Jackson Hayes there's some Joscelyn he throws his hands out.

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 6: The referee is in fantastic position, and he called it.

107
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 6: And I actually think as much as it sucked and

108
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 6: I sort of took the air out of the Brandon

109
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 6: Ingram's game, we don't. I think the referees made the

110
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 6: right call. I'm so glad though that Pelican went on

111
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 6: to win in over time with Rudy only hit well,

112
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 6: simply because the last time these two teams played, there

113
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: was a missed call on Rudy Gobert that would have

114
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 6: sent Brown and England to the line to give him

115
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 6: a chance to send the games to overtime, and instead

116
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 6: this time the Pelicans go on to win. But I

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 6: will say for Brandon and Ingram, the points fantastic shot,

118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 6: the ball well got to the free throw line sixteen

119
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: to twenty. Knock those down. He's an underrated playmaker.

120
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: One hundred percent true. Underrated, I thought, especially when they

121
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: started throwing more guys at him because he was on fire. Yeah,

122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: some of those little dump passes were gorgeous.

123
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 6: And for a young guy who's really having his first

124
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 6: breakout season where he has the opportunity to take any shot,

125
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 6: he kind of has a green light there for him

126
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 6: to have the composure in close moments like that to

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 6: find the right play and make the right pass. I

128
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: think is more significant in terms of his growth than

129
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 6: just being able to score. I think coming out of college,

130
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: we knew he could score, we knew he could shoot.

131
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 6: He just hadn't really developed that yet. This year that's

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 6: come along, but he's also added something more significant to

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 6: his game, and it.

134
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: Was awesome to see. It's almost a throwback the way

135
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: he was hunting mid range because he's got the dirklight

136
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: qualities where once he gets to his spot, he's so

137
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: long and tall that you're basically not getting a hand

138
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: on it unless you're Rudy Gobert. And you know, he

139
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: had a nice challenge where he got called for a

140
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: foul and then the next time down it was Royce

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: O'Neil who was guarding Brandon Ingram, who was a lot

142
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: shorter than Rudy Gobert, and that was the bucket that

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: could have could have been the game winner, was the

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: game winner in waiting if you're will yes, But it's

145
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: such a double edged sword with that foul call, because

146
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: you're right, it was a foul call. It was a foul.

147
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: There was no doubt about it. But also you can't

148
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: just not call the foul because a guy hit a

149
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: game winner, but also in the last couple of seconds,

150
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: suck that whistledown Roughs. We don't need every single foul call.

151
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think it was a foul. But I

152
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: think this is where common sense kind of has to prevail.

153
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: There was also another defender in Derek Favors on Rudy

154
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: Gobert at the same time. He was right there, So

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: I don't think Rudy Gobert is going to touch the

156
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: ball anyways, Like he was kind of out of the

157
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: play in a way. So I think does it really

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: matter as a matter if a guy gets yanked on

159
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: the sideline when it's a lot pass. I know he

160
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 3: wasn't on the sideline, but if you get what I mean,

161
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: he wasn't really going to affect it anyways. I think

162
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: the ref's got to say you're not going to touch

163
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: it anyways, no call, And it's two point two seconds left,

164
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: But I understand it. It was by the letter of

165
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: the law.

166
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think again, I just go back to

167
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: the referee's position. He's looking right at it. He had

168
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 6: a great unobscured view and he made the call, So

169
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 6: I think we have to give the referee credit for

170
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 6: that because he's probably thinking, like, man, do I have

171
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 6: to call this? He's probably you know, I mean, who knows.

172
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 6: He's in that arena where they've just had an exciting moment.

173
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 6: He's like, all right, I mean you have found it.

174
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 6: But I think as well, Jackson Hayes's reaction sort of

175
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 6: shows you that he knew he was doing something.

176
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't help himself. No, that's for sure.

177
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 6: No young guy, you know, think he'd get away with it,

178
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 6: and he didn't. But but again, the fact that the

179
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 6: Pelicans were able to sort of because Alvin Gentry was

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 6: fuming after the game went to overtime.

181
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: Would yeah, if it could have been if it went

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: on to lose it, especially if Gorbert has bulls on

183
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: they're just losing regulation. Yeah, it would have been like

184
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the third game they've sort of got taken away from them,

185
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: could win that they got taken away.

186
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 6: Sorry for the fact that I ra would it didn't

187
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 6: go on and finished mightbe Jackson Hyes was like, you

188
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 6: know what, I want to see if Brandon can get

189
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 6: fifty tonight, so I'll extend the game.

190
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: They make your free throws. He had fifty Yeah, he

191
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 4: had forty eight one to the line, only hit one

192
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 4: or two. That was too bad, but well timed by

193
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: Brandon Ingram and also Donovan Mitchell. It was a double

194
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 4: day yesterday. They're not going to be getting into the

195
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: All Star starters. But if you're gonna both have forty spots,

196
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 4: I might as well do it when the votes count

197
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 4: twice one.

198
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: Hundred percent true. And I think you're just keep an

199
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: eye on the box scores and some of these huge

200
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: lines are going to see in the next couple of

201
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: weeks here as I think some of these players, these

202
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: borderline All Stars, they're gonna be gunning a little bit

203
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: for some recognition from these coaches. And it doesn't hurt

204
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: when you go for yeah, forty nine or in Donovan's case,

205
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: forty six. Like Ingram was was playmaking, he was getting

206
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: to the line, like you said. Mitchell was just cooking

207
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: the Pelicans too, like No Drew Holiday that hurt the

208
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: Pelicans chances. Obviously a great defensive player, he was I

209
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: thought embarrassing, like guys like Frank Jackson and each one

210
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: more who played pretty good deal on that last one

211
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: sort of in the overtime there and you know, help

212
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell missed the layup attempt. But other times, I mean

213
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Mitchell was having his way with those guys and it

214
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: was go check the highlights. I mean, even if you

215
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: watch the ten minute condensed version here this morning, you're

216
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: not going to be disappointed in this game. It had

217
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: at all back and forth. But Ingram, he's I think

218
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: he is going to be an All Star selected and

219
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: deservedly so. Guys twenty six points per game, seven boards,

220
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: four assists, forty eight percent from the floor, forty one

221
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: percent when you bump it up from three to eighty

222
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: six from the line, and his usage rate has skyrocketed

223
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: since becoming the go to guy from the Pelicans, obviously

224
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: coming from the Lakers. He's up to around thirty percent

225
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: usage rate. I mean it's close to that. So he's

226
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: being asked to do a lot, but he's remaining efficient

227
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: and obviously getting buckets. He's also going to be in

228
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: the conversation I think for most improved. I think I

229
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: don't see how you know how he isn't. There's some

230
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: there's some second year guys that especially started hot, like

231
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: a DeVante Graham. We talked about Kelly who bres definitely improved.

232
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: His his case seems to be falling off a little bit.

233
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: I think that Ingram's got to be the leader right now.

234
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially because over you know, the last couple of seasons,

235
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: it is that the voters tend to like that idea

236
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: of like, hey, you were good and then wow, you

237
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: might be great, like you went to an all star level.

238
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: And that's sort of what Ingram's going to have in

239
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: his back pocket there. But that's a long time from now.

240
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: Fun fun game and again Pelicans snapped the Jazz win streak. There.

241
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: The other game from last night, just to we can

242
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: quickly touch on the Celtics, they scrapped their way back

243
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: into a game against Milwaukee Bucks, but the Bucks survived.

244
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: They held on. They proved to thirty seven and six.

245
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks are thirty seven and six. They This

246
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: was a weird game because they had like two massive

247
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: leads in this game. Bucks up huge, Celtics sort of

248
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: come back.

249
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: Bucks.

250
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: It was with you, honest on the bench, you know,

251
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: make it another huge lead and here come the Celtics again.

252
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: It was a strange game. What's the takeaway from this

253
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: one for you?

254
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think the Bucks. They built that early late

255
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 6: and probably took their foot off the gas a little bit.

256
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 6: Celtics came back. You know, there was another Brown there

257
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 6: for Boston. Gordon up excuse me, Kimba walk was was

258
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 6: brilliant for the Celtics, but it probably got a little

259
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 6: closer than I think the Bucks would have liked it

260
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 6: to have been towards the endbit. But the question I'll

261
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 6: take out of this one is seventy in play here

262
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 6: for the Bucks. I mean they're on pace for it

263
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 6: seventy wins.

264
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean sure with the way they handle

265
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: their business and go about taking every game. So seriously,

266
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: I think it's in play. Yes, I mean, I guess

267
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: my gut still says they'll fall short of seventy. Yeah,

268
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: but my goodness, it's got to be sixty five plus.

269
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: At this point.

270
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: They've only got six losses and two of them came

271
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: in the first week of the season. They started two

272
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 4: and two. That's just pretty crazy to think about. So yeah,

273
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: I mean, this doesn't seem like a team that's ever

274
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: gonna take their foot off the gas or rust. I mean,

275
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 4: maybe once it gets down to the last week of

276
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 4: the season. It's like what's the point of playing Giannis?

277
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: What we've locked out the number one? See, do we

278
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: know who we're gonna be facing in the first round?

279
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 4: Perhaps then you're sitting and then you're getting into the

280
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: nitty gritty of you need one more win to get

281
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: to seventy. It's definitely possible. There's the playoff year will

282
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: be the question for the Bucks because they're gonna be

283
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 4: great for the entirety of the regular season and then

284
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,479
Speaker 4: as we saw last year, they petered out in the playoffs.

285
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 4: But I don't know. Yeah, it's good to win games,

286
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: even if it's in the regular season. Winning seventy games

287
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: is pretty cool.

288
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think Jannas is the MVP leader again

289
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 6: right now. I mean he's been I think I've had

290
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 6: Lebron up there, but I think Yannis, with what he's doing,

291
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 6: with what the team is doing win wise, he's sort

292
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 6: of stretching that lead quite a bit as well. And

293
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 6: that might factor into it as well with the Bucks

294
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 6: if they're getting close, do they feel if Yanniss wrapped

295
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: it up or if he needs to keep playing those

296
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 6: games to sort of secure the MVP. Will that be

297
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 6: a factor. But I mean, right now, like the Bucks.

298
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 6: It just sort of feels like whenever they want to

299
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 6: put their foot down, they can take the game away

300
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 6: from anybody. That's almost like the Warriors in their sort

301
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 6: of prime days there where you know, teams can kind

302
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 6: of hang with them for a bit, but when they

303
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 6: really feel like it, they're just so much better and

304
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 6: they can do it at both ends. And last night,

305
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 6: you know, Boston, Boston had a chance to sort of

306
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 6: steal this game, but they just couldn't.

307
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: Yet reason really to The Bucks were up whatever twenty

308
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: five or whatever it grew to as big as it got.

309
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean they could miss a three.

310
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a huge part of it.

311
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: They would have been winning regardless because they're still a

312
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: great team at that point, but it just would have

313
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: been a lot closer in the box score because they

314
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: the first time they couldn't miss. Everybody was hitting threes,

315
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: don't thee de Vicenzo was on fire and all these

316
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: guys and George Hill can't miss all season. It's yeah,

317
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: it's will that will that continue in the playoffs. But

318
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: the games like this are good because I liked when

319
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Giannis went to the bench in a lot of this game. Well,

320
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks were fine I mean they were they would

321
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: hold their own or even build the lead any even

322
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: a bit more with some of these guys coming in,

323
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: So that's a good sign for the future.

324
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, the fourth quarter was just a little bit weird.

325
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 4: It's seemed like a football game where one team has

326
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: a lead, so they're just running the ball the entire time.

327
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: That's the Bucks. They posted up Giannis like time and

328
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: time again, just letting them booty on down there, whereas

329
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: the Celtics were on the other side, they were throwing bombs.

330
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: They're throwing hail Mary's five threes in the fourth quarter,

331
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 4: and you know, the slow down offense doesn't always work

332
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: in the NFL, doesn't always work in the NBA. But

333
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: they had a big enough lead that it ultimately did

334
00:14:59,440 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: not matter.

335
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: It mattered to us with the pick them. But we'll

336
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: get to that in days. Infuriating that part, but that's

337
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: a little bit later, all right, Let's get to the

338
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: Hawks Wolves trade. Yesterday, the Hawks and Timberwolves, they pulled

339
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: off the second trade of the NBA season. It was

340
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: a blockbuster. Atlanta traded Alan Krabb to Minnesota in exchange

341
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: for old friend Jeff Tigue and Treveon Graham what who

342
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: was the first one to break this story? The move

343
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: reunites the Hawks Fatigue, former All star point guard whom

344
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: they traded prior to the sixteen seventeen season. Who wins

345
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: the trade? Or you know, what are the Minnesota Timberwolves

346
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: doing here? However you want to go about it. What

347
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: did you think about the deal yesterday?

348
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: Well, the Hawks won because they got the better player

349
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: and they're trying to win games. So Hawks fans are

350
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: yelling and screaming, well, why are we trying to win games?

351
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: And then I mean, you can still win games in

352
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: the NBA, that's still okay. I think that I think

353
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: it's all right to try and win basketball games, and

354
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: that's what they're trying to do. And in an Eastern conference,

355
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: as we talked about on our mid season Mark Word

356
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: Association podcast, anything can happen in the East. Anything can happen.

357
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: So they won, and I guess the Wolves are are

358
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: looking at trying to acquire D'Angelo Russell. But the odd

359
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: thing is apparently Jeff Tigue's contract could be added to

360
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 3: somebody else's contract in a multiplayer trade. You could trade

361
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 3: Jeff Teague with somebody else for Dangel Russell on the trade.

362
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: But you can't trade Alan Krabb with somebody else, scoring

363
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: to John Hollingdry of the Athletic can't aggregate him with

364
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: another guy, So that's that's that obviously makes it a

365
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: little bit more difficult to trade for Dangel Russell, which

366
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: is an interesting move. Maybe they need a three way

367
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: deal most likely, I would say, because I doubt the

368
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: Warriors are looking at multiple players on the Wolves that

369
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: they want long term. So that's where we are.

370
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, what'd you guys think from the Hawks getting Tea.

371
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 6: I mean, it's a bit of a bandaid solution. He's

372
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 6: a free agent at the end of the season.

373
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: So that's all right. It was an open wound when

374
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Trey Young was on the bench. The Hawks were being

375
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: outscored by fourteen pointssions.

376
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, if this is just in anyway try to appease

377
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 6: Trey Young to say, look, we've got you some support here.

378
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: It's kind of like, okay, but what's the long term

379
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 6: do you what's the long term play here? Because maybe that.

380
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: But it's it's like back to your band aid. It's like, hey,

381
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: let's stop the bleeding.

382
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so I guess I guess the Hawks are

383
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 6: hoping that will do enough to sort of keep Trey

384
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 6: happy for the remainder of this season. Should Tig stay because.

385
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 3: Good point, he'll be a good backup point guard if

386
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: he plays his role. He's yeah, but decently.

387
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 6: I just I mean, how many more games of the

388
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 6: Hawk's gonna win? We see their handful maybe I'm not.

389
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 4: Sure, okay, but lost anything.

390
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, all three guys of all of this are expiring contracts,

391
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: so there's yeah, you're not tying yourself down any more money.

392
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: And I think Hollander, I like this point that I

393
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: saw him on the athletic The Hawks maybe are doing

394
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: this the whole idea of like, yeah, of course they

395
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: want to win more games. Everybody does, but it's really

396
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: it's really the development getting another guy like Tea. It's

397
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: the development in their other young players in your Camradish,

398
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: in your DeAndre Hunter, in You're Kevin Herder, to have

399
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: a real competent backup point guard, another card of vet

400
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: to help push those guys sort of into the right roles.

401
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: So now you have a real point guard of there

402
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: for forty eight minutes. I think that's that makes a

403
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: lot of sense that he could just help getting a

404
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: guy like team could actually help them. I see the

405
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: reasoning there from the Hawks.

406
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Kevin Herder has done an okay job distributing the ball.

407
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: He's almost at four assists the game, which I think

408
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: is probably where he would top out ultimately. But he's

409
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 4: a catching shoot guy. Really is what he's going to

410
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: be if the Hawks ever becomes something with this core.

411
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: So he needs somebody to pass in the ball. Teague

412
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 4: is a dude who pounds the ball, but he can

413
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: still break down a defense. He'll be good against second

414
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: units and just a little bit more professional. At least

415
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 4: there's somebody there to hook up the guys that Trey

416
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 4: Young can't hook up.

417
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 6: The only thing with Trey Young though, excuse me with tigue.

418
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 6: When he was here with Dennis shrewd up, they didn't

419
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 6: get along and he felt that Shrewder was trying to

420
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 6: steal his job. So he doesn't have a great reputation

421
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 6: of sort of developing guys. Now, maybe he's not.

422
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: Right matured or been humbled a little bit exact.

423
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's I guess what the Hulks are hoping for.

424
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 6: And if that works out, then those young guys it's great, absolutely,

425
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 6: but overall. I mean, I don't really see a whole,

426
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 6: you know, whole overhaul here from the Hawks. I don't

427
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 6: see much more changing unless they've got another deal that

428
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 6: they're looking at in mind to somehow use Tea there.

429
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 6: So we'll see I mean Tea. Yeah, he's he's quick.

430
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 6: He's kind of underrated with his ability to play make

431
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 6: at times, but he does tend to hang onto the

432
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 6: ball as well, So we'll see. We'll see what he

433
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 6: brings to Atlanta. Because he's been to Indiana, he's been

434
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 6: to Minnesota and things. I mean, he's he's probably looking

435
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 6: for a fresh start as well out of Minnesota because

436
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 6: it's pretty ordinary looking at that roster right now.

437
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the from the Wolves side of things, you know,

438
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: some people are wondering, well, maybe they're just going to

439
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: take a flyer on Alan Krab. He used to be

440
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: a good three point shooter. He hasn't been this year.

441
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: The Wolves are really leaning into that that type of game.

442
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: Take a ton of three point attempts, which they do.

443
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: They rank third in the NBA, jacking up nearly thirty

444
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: nine per game. They just can't hit them. They're one

445
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: of the worst teams in the league. In terms of

446
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: percentage wise. Oh maybe Alan Crab can suddenly find, you know,

447
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: some of that magic that helped get him the big

448
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: contract because he was a good three point shooter for

449
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: a good chunk of time there. He just had a

450
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: bad year. It frees up another roster spot, Like Tass said,

451
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: maybe there's more moves to be made. Is it trying

452
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: to get a better point guard to then pair with

453
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns? Possibly? I saw it at tea Wolves

454
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: blug tweet though, who is the new scapegoat for the Wolves?

455
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: Because a lot of Minnesota Timberwolves fans, you know, would

456
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: points some blame at Jeff teak Is he struggles at

457
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: time like get the ball to a town's and you

458
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 1: know he's not an a lead point guard. I think

459
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: we all agree with that. But is it Wiggins again

460
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: will be the scapegoat? Yeah? Can't they say it can't

461
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: be Ryan Saunders yet because he's got another good twelve

462
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: months before he could be. It's true, it's like probably

463
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Wiggins again.

464
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be Wiggins. And I mean maybe you'll

465
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 4: get a little bit at Jarrett Culver scapegoating here because

466
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: he has also not been very good he's shooting somehow

467
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: forty four percent from the free throw line. And this

468
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: was a guy in college who was like a decent

469
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 4: free throw and I don't know, at least gives a

470
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: little bit more responsibility, even more so to Wiggins and

471
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 4: to Culver, and the Wolves are going to get a

472
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: look at those guys. See how Wiggins can can hang

473
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 4: as the number one guy who is supposedly going to

474
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: be distributing the ball, because he's basically going to be

475
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: doing all that in Culver also was sort of like

476
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: a James Harden style shooting guard point guard in college.

477
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 4: So they'll give him some shots to try and get

478
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: the offense going. But nothing's gonna happen until Town's gone.

479
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: Pack.

480
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: Your offense is going to be bad until you get

481
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 4: your best player.

482
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: Shaba's napier playing the point there too. For the For

483
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: the Wolves, he's been all right. Actually, I guess they

484
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: liked him more than they were getting from Tigue. Here

485
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: you go the athletics. Sean's Sharanya and John Koshinski reported

486
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: that the Wolves they continue to pursue that D'Angelo Russell

487
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: and they've had discussions regarding moving Robert Covington Covington so

488
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: hot right now NBA trade deadline. I love that. I

489
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: love when a guy like Covington is suddenly the next

490
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: hottest thing. He's a good player, I know. I was

491
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: making fun of it a little bit last night on Twitter, saying,

492
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: I like when that deadline thirst turns guys like Covington

493
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: into the next Scottie Pippen, because that's what happens. It's like, uh,

494
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, and again he's good. He's good three in

495
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: d guy. But okay, okay, let's relax here. Everybody suddenly

496
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: wants him. Will the Wolves make some more moves here?

497
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: Like and what is there to be made? Especially with

498
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: this like your task you were saying this crazy little

499
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: Hollander note about you can't even pair Crab was another

500
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: guy to move him? That's wild.

501
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't ceba it, but I don't understand it.

502
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: Why that's the case. Yeah, it's strange. It is definitely

503
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: strange unless they have a three way deal in mind.

504
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure they want to go after Dangel Russell. But

505
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: it's also hard for the Warriors to trade apparently before

506
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: the before the trade deadline, and it'd be easier in

507
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: the summer because they're not hard capped, right, that makes sense,

508
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 3: I guess, But I think I think, I don't know.

509
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: It seems like the Wolves will end up with d

510
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: Angela Russell because I gotta remember, the Warriors didn't give

511
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: up a lot for dangel Russell. Well, they gave up

512
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant. Well, they didn't really give up Kevin Durant.

513
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 3: I mean he did come from the Brooklyn Nets. Kevin Durant.

514
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: Apparently he said, hey, I want you to trade for

515
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: something for me. You can't just let me go. You

516
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: get to get something in return. I don't want the

517
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 3: history books to see you traded me for a draft pick.

518
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: So get the Angel Russell back. So I don't think.

519
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: I don't think the Warriors will desperately hang on to him.

520
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: I think they're going to trade him at.

521
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: Some point, right, just maybe not here before the deadline.

522
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, maybe not.

523
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 6: I think there's a bit of value there for Russell.

524
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 6: He's been good at times for them, so I think

525
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: they'll also try to drive up the price if if

526
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 6: Minnesota it becomes desperate. Just a little concern though, if

527
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 6: Minnesota is trying to pair Russell just because he's friends

528
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 6: with towns a little concerned about that whether he would

529
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 6: or what. I like friendship, but you don't let the

530
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 6: players sort of decide who they're playing with, you know,

531
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 6: because if it backfires, then what happens.

532
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: Well it is a little weird too, because they've talked

533
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: who's the Wolves GM thank you. He has talked about

534
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: like how Tigue he didn't really fit the style they

535
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: wanted to play because he's dribble, dribbled, ribbled, a little

536
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: bit more penetration, not really swinging the ball, and you know,

537
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: like that, well that's sort of Russell a little bit.

538
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: So that is, you know, he's a much better player

539
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: than Teague, but he sort of does the same thing,

540
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: just being a lot younger at it and a lot

541
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe better at it. So yeah, we'll see if Russell

542
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: ends up making his way. I'm with you, tak. It

543
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: just feel like it is eventually going to happen. I

544
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: just I'm with you. I don't maybe not before the deadline,

545
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: but maybe in the summer that he's gonna get there.

546
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 4: He's gonna get there.

547
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like one team doesn't really want Dangel

548
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: Russell's part of the future, and the other team desperately

549
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 3: does so why wouldn't they make it happen in some way,

550
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: shape or form. And yeah, they're buds, and maybe that's

551
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: not a great sign. That being said, the Wolves need

552
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: good players and who are the best players that have

553
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: played around Karl Anthony Towns. They had Jimmy Butler for

554
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: a quick run. But besides that, Okay, that's right, that's right. Silence, Yeah,

555
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: year twenty Kevin Garnett. Yeah, that's about it.

556
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: According to Yeah Who Sports Chris Haynes, the Hawks back

557
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: to them for a second. They're no longer engaging with

558
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons on a tray that would have landed

559
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: them all star big man Andre Drummond that now dead

560
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: deal in theory, would have sent Detroit would have seen Detroit,

561
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: excuse me, received Demian Jones, Chandler Parsons or Alan Crabb

562
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: and a first round pick for Drummond. So you know,

563
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: Crab of course now to Minnesota, So that part's not happening,

564
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,479
Speaker 1: and I guess this is done anyway, ok ces. Steven

565
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: Adams is also on the Hawks radar and talks could

566
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: potentially pick up Stem as the deadline looms. What do

567
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: you what do you think of that little teas. He

568
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: would love to have steps in Atlanta.

569
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we could do stuff with him all the time.

570
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 6: He'd be great. I definitely think the Hawks could use

571
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 6: another big, another body. I think he fits that bill

572
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: for them very well. I think I think it'd be

573
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 6: good for John Collins to have another good, solid vet there. Yeah,

574
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 6: so yeah, I would like it.

575
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: Why would the thunder do?

576
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 6: Yeah exactly. The speculation, of course, is like, we're everyone's

577
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 6: interested in the other teams good players. Sure, what are

578
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 6: you gonna you know, what are you going to give

579
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 6: up to in order to acquire him? But and we

580
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 6: know Sam presteve man, if he if he calls you

581
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 6: and he's making a deal, walk away from it because

582
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 6: you know he gonna horge you for sure.

583
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: But if you are the Hawks, do you like the

584
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: idea of going after someone like Adams more than Drummond?

585
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 4: I do. I like just the veteran presence a little

586
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 4: bit more. I think Drummond is no doubt more skilled,

587
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 4: but I think Adams brings more winning qualities to a team.

588
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 4: He's going to be, you know, sett in the screens,

589
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 4: He's got the defense figured out, not necessarily as dynamic

590
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: as a rim protector as Drummond would be, not even

591
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: as dynamic as a rebounder as Drummond would be. But

592
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 4: I think you're learning more from Steven Adams than you're

593
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 4: learning more from Andre Drummond.

594
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: I agree with that. But what's so funny about that

595
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: is Adams is twenty one days older than Andre Drummond.

596
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

597
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: Sure, that's so weird.

598
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, he feels like a young series.

599
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he feels like six or seven years older than Drummond,

600
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: who also feels like he's a lot older than twenty six.

601
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Both those guys being twenty six.

602
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: Is But Steven Adams has also played on playoff teams

603
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: for his entire career. He has been on winning teams.

604
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 4: He just he knows the NBA a little bit better

605
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 4: I think than Andre Drummond would.

606
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think there will be any disputes

607
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 3: as to who gets the ball with Steven Adams, while

608
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: Andre Drummond he definitely wanted to play make a little

609
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: bit more and was a little disappointed when Blake Griffin

610
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 3: came back and he didn't get to touch it as much.

611
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 3: So Steven Adams knows that that's where he excels, and

612
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 3: then he'll be fine with that.

613
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: With the way the Hawks are roll excuse me, with

614
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: the way okay, see are rolling right now, it's tough

615
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: to see them move in Adams unless they just got

616
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: unbelievable package coming back, and I don't really see what

617
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: that would be.

618
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: From the hash, is he.

619
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: All right after?

620
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 6: Is actual? Yes, he's had whiplashes something car crash.

621
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: One more nugget actually from Haynes. Guys, According to his sources,

622
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Grizzlies rookie Jah Morant has decided not to participate in

623
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: the NBA Dunk Contest during All Star Weekend in Chicago

624
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: next month. Maintaining good health for the duration of the

625
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: season is his main priority. Again, according to Haines sources.

626
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: Now the good news from Haynes, Morant hasn't ruled out

627
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: participating in future dunk contests. Okay, that's good. There's that

628
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: little nugget there. And word is coming off of this

629
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: that Miami Heat high flyer Derek Jones Junior is going

630
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: to receive a formal invitation. We had talked about in

631
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: the past. I thought he and maybe already had, but

632
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: I guess he hadn't, but maybe, yeah, exactly, So, now

633
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: the official evite has been sent to Derrek Jones Junior

634
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: will see how he responds. I guess, look, it's a bummer.

635
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: I think everyone, no one would have been upset to

636
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: see Moranton and with what he can do and at

637
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: his age. And I guess I'm a little bummed too.

638
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: It sounds like it's not gonna be six dunkers the

639
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: more I think about it. Now, if this is the case,

640
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: it's we're going we're gonna stick with the four. So

641
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: who is the four gonna be? I mean it's it's

642
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna be well, I don't we don't even know. Is

643
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: Hamadu Diallo gonna get a chance to defend we there's

644
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: been I don't think any word on that.

645
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

646
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: And then Zach Lavine's a maybe if he's in the

647
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: dunk hunt, if it makes the All Star Game, he'll

648
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: may be dunk Aaron Gordon has talked about wanting to

649
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: dunk again and maybe battling Zack Lavine again. And then

650
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: I think Derek Jones jright, so we have so it's

651
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: dwighten or not.

652
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 6: We don't know this is this is actually good for

653
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 6: Dwight because he's building up that.

654
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: I think I think he's Okay, I forgot about what

655
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: You're right. It sounds like he's in, so yeah, yeah,

656
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

657
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 3: Is five?

658
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: Maybe it does six. Maybe I'm completely wrong. I don't know.

659
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: I thought I knew everything about the Dunk Contest. I

660
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: know nothing. But I'm bummed that John Moran's not going

661
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: to be in it. But hopefully he does go in

662
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: it and in the next year or two.

663
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. I'm a little dubious about him ever

664
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 4: going in. If he's not going in as a rookie

665
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 4: and he's already becoming a star, are you going to

666
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 4: go in when you're a superstar? We shall see. But

667
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: at least he's being intellectually consistent. The guy was resting

668
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 4: earlier in the season because he had surgery during the summer.

669
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 4: So if you're going to say you're all about your

670
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: health in the first month of the season, it's good

671
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: to say you're all about your health for an All Star.

672
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 3: But he was also invited to the skills contest, right,

673
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: I felt like that was an invite.

674
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.

675
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just dribbling, tossing through a hoop, dribbling

676
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 3: the their way, kind of hitting one of those fake

677
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: men and then laying it up. That's it. And so

678
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: it's really it's really easy on the body. With that being said,

679
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: if you're resting, you're resting, right.

680
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well he's going to be playing. He's gonna be

681
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: on the Friday night game too. Rising Stars. I actually

682
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: think you can't quote me on this, but I think

683
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: there is something with the skills challenge that it's a

684
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: little bit more like you gotta do this, like a

685
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: little bit more like in the you know, the Players

686
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: Association type thing. I don't think it's as easy to

687
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: get out of it. Let's just put it that way.

688
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm serious. I think when they ask, you're like, you

689
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: sort of got to, especially if you're a young guy.

690
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't I don't quote me on there, but anyway,

691
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: you're right, he's going to be doing stuff at All

692
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: Star Weekend. I guess dunking is that's going to be

693
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: the most mentally exhausting to try and plan for.

694
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

695
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 4: Maybe it's like the home run derby. You know, the

696
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 4: baseball players don't want to go in it because they

697
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 4: don't want to mess with their swing for the second

698
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: half of this season. So maybe jaws rolling right now,

699
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 4: he's like, I don't want to be just jumping all

700
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: the time.

701
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So hopefully he goes into the future. Hey, look,

702
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm still a wholding note of hope as I will.

703
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 6: Go why not this season?

704
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 3: Sure?

705
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Come on, he's well rested.

706
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 6: I will say that does. Pre game dunks were saying

707
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 6: he's looking great. But I just don't think I don't

708
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 6: think it would be a great look for Chemo. The

709
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 6: Pelicans getting the dunk.

710
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: People would love it.

711
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: That's amazing that we got to say a young twenty

712
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: year old needs to save four jumps, like, come.

713
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 4: On, hey, it could be six jumps.

714
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would and he asked to practice.

715
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 4: Plus he's running through that skills challenge. A lot of

716
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 4: twisting could be bad on the back.

717
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever got injured in the skills challenge? I

718
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: don't think of dangle. I guess I could help.

719
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, throw a really bad pass at Ricochet's back breaks

720
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 4: your nose, all right?

721
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, no dram Moran in this one, but hopefully

722
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: in the future. Okay, let's get two worst of the

723
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: week ladies and gentlemen.

724
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: The worst of the week. Three men on the board

725
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 3: this week. The second runner up, Drake the Global Ambassador

726
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: Drake meant, well, his intentions were in the right place.

727
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 3: I do believe. But here's what happened. ESPN's Ramona Shelburne

728
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: published an extensive piece about how Paul George made his

729
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: decision this past summer to return to LA and play

730
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: for the Clippers. Drake comes in and offers his house

731
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: to Kawhi Leonard, his house in California where Kawhi can

732
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: take meetings and discuss with men like Paul George decide

733
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: what they're gonna do. What obviously ended up happening was

734
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard's decided, along with Paul George, that we're leaving.

735
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: I'm leaving Toronto, come join me in La. Drake, the

736
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: global Ambassador, set the table for his best player to leave.

737
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: Now hurts Yeah, if conspiracy theorists will say, hey, he's

738
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 3: always had bigger intentions than just being on the sideline

739
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 3: of basketball game is. He's wanted to be the Miami

740
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 3: Heat's best friend. He tried to get in their locker

741
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: room when they want a championship. He walks down with

742
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: did he ever walk down with a boxer?

743
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 4: No?

744
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: That I'm thinking of Justin Bieber Now with Meyway but

745
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: you know, I kind of see them in the same light,

746
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: like he's always tried to front run a little bit.

747
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 3: But I think in this situation he did take up

748
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: a friendship with Kawhi Leonard over this past year and said, Hey,

749
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: here's my house, you rich man. I guess you can't

750
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: afford your own house to rent for for a week.

751
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: So here's my house. Here are the keys. So you know,

752
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 3: maybe it's friendship. I think it's just, uh, it just

753
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 3: happened out this, It happened this way. I don't think

754
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: there was any ill will or by Drake.

755
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: Drake's got a bigger pool than y too. At that

756
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: house in LA That's a good point, I think.

757
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 4: I think Will Loud tweeted a picture there Drake does

758
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: have a jersey of Kawhi Leonard from the Raptors hanging

759
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: in that very house. So yeah, I don't know. I mean,

760
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 4: it's just that's just the kind of detail you hope

761
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: doesn't come out when it comes down to free agency recruiting,

762
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 4: that your global ambassador is literally setting a table, making

763
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: a bed for you to go to another team. But

764
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: he seems like it was a done deal even before that.

765
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: Why I told Drake. Hey man, I'm not coming back

766
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 4: to the Raptors, but can I borrow your safe house

767
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 4: in Calabasses?

768
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 6: You think that was seabowling together?

769
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 4: Wow, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard hitting the pool dropping

770
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: some sea balls.

771
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: Probably, I could see Kawhi Leonard dropping a good seaball.

772
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: He looks like he's got some hidden wait to him.

773
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, his bones are heavy.

774
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, definitely he would be a better cannonballer

775
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: than Paul George. Paul George too smooth. He just slipped

776
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: right in the water.

777
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

778
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 3: First runner up Pelicans guard JJ Reddick, who commented this

779
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: week on his podcast that players are more concerned with

780
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: getting off Instagram fits posting their outfits on Instagram, more

781
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 3: concerned with that than playing basketball. Now, Jj, it's a

782
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: business man. Don't be an old head like me and

783
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: be worried about people on Instagram. The more Instagram followers

784
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: you got, the more money you make. It's one equals

785
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: the other, and that's all it is.

786
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: That's their currency.

787
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very important. I saw this brought up on

788
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 3: Twitter Kyle Kuzma. He's a bench player now, hasn't really

789
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: done a lot in the NBA. But he's got four

790
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 3: million followers on Instagram. He's got a Puma deal because

791
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 3: of it. People care about what he wears and his shoes,

792
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: et cetera. It is currency. It's true.

793
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: There was a great, great video I saw le Jethro

794
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: Jenkins with Yahoo Sports, Yeah, breaking it down and it's

795
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: not wrong, and he brought up kuz when you're right.

796
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: Yes, so that's what it is, and that's okay. It's business. Yeah,

797
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: and you're it's just a post and you also do

798
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 3: it too, JJ Reddick. You post a lot of your

799
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 3: Instagram fits on the Instagram definitely.

800
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 4: And when he was a younger man, you know, like

801
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 4: six or seven years ago, he was big in the

802
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 4: watch world. JJ Reddick was like mister vintage Watches. He

803
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: was showing up on podcasts talking about watches. He had

804
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 4: a whole series with this site called Hodinki that sells

805
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: vintage watches. He was deep in the Instagram fits game.

806
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 4: His fits were watches, which is nice. You know, you

807
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: gotta stay timely, gotta keep your appointments. But still that's

808
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 4: an outside interest. You're allowed to have.

809
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: Him totally totally and and yeah, it's it's actually it's

810
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 3: about making money. It's not just about looking shop and

811
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 3: getting likes. It's about it's an investment. But the worst

812
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 3: of the week winner is NETS guard Kyrie Irving and

813
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: comments after Brooklyn lost, Yeah, we talked about it and

814
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 3: it needs to be said again. After Brooklyn lost, Kyrie

815
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: Irving said, hey, yeah, you young guys, you made the

816
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: playoffs last year. I'm paraphrasing, but it's essentially, you guys

817
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: made the playoffs last year, but we all know this

818
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: team isn't good enough. There will be changes in the

819
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: summer and I will work that out with player X

820
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: player X, player x player X. He named some guys.

821
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 3: I don't want to name them again because people say, well,

822
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 3: maybe he was just naming guys and not naming the

823
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: entire roster. It doesn't mean he didn't want the entire

824
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 3: roster to stay. Well. He basically said, yeah, you guys

825
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 3: were good enough last year to make the playoffs, but

826
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: we're not good enough. Things got to change by this,

827
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: coming off a six for twenty one night where he

828
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 3: had a bad night and really repeating a lot of

829
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: the things he did last year as a ball Celtic

830
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 3: that earned him a lot of negative headlines where he

831
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 3: put down his quote unquote young teammates. I don't see

832
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 3: how it's much different at all, and he didn't learn

833
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 3: from that. I find it surprising. Also, big picture zoom out.

834
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: This team did make the playoffs. You add an all

835
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: star in Kyrie Irving, you should be a top four seed.

836
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 3: And why shouldn't he take that mentality? Why shouldn't he

837
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 3: say I'm gonna lead this team to the Promised Land

838
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 3: instead of saying, and I'm not reading into it, he

839
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 3: said this team isn't good enough. We got to make changes.

840
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 3: That is exactly what he said. Glaring, yeah, glue, this

841
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 3: is their glaring differences or there's a glaring glaring things

842
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: we need to overcome. So yeah, that's it, Kyrie Irving.

843
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 3: It's got to be said one last time. I find

844
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: it shocking that it's basically repeating itself from Boston. Nobody

845
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: seems to care as much as they did when it

846
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 3: was the Boston Celtics. I guess because the expectations were

847
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 3: higher in Boston that that was going to be a

848
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 3: championship team. But really a forty two win team plus

849
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving equals in my math, a top four seed

850
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: they've disappointed.

851
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, and it was poorly timed. It sounded

852
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: like something you maybe maybe you shouldn't even be go

853
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: saying it, but maybe saying the off season, and you

854
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: don't say it after you stunk in a game where

855
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: some of your other teammates did better than you and

856
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: contributed more to trying to win the game. Yeah, poor timing.

857
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: I still I don't know. I'm trying to give him

858
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. I something didn't inside me

859
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: just says it's a He really was just talking about

860
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: the concept of, Hey, don't worry, we're adding Kevin Durant.

861
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: But he maybe I'm wrong. Who knows what Kyrie?

862
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 6: I wonder, hell he'll react if he doesn't make the

863
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 6: old style game, but Spencer Dean what he does, because

864
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 6: that could happen.

865
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could. It could.

866
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

867
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I think it's unlikely. But how would he reacts? Yeah,

868
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: you would hope you'd react. You'd be happy for Spencer.

869
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: I guess try and get some of those din winny dollars.

870
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 3: I was trying to stay calm, but now my blood

871
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 3: is boiling a little bit. So let me let me

872
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 3: give a quick quote the exact well, it hasn't. It's

873
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: glaring in terms of the pieces that we need in

874
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: order to be at that next level. I'm going to

875
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 3: continue to reiterate it. What are you saying? Why? Why?

876
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 5: Why?

877
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: Oh?

878
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: It's why are you saying that's more?

879
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 3: Okay?

880
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: When? Why?

881
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 3: But it's just it's a decent team and it's in

882
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 3: the East. Jimmy Butler has got a top three seed

883
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 3: right now with him and a bunch of guys who

884
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: are good, and he's got Spencer Dinwidie and Karris l

885
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: Verpas on him. It's not a bad team again as

886
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 3: a forty two win team plus Kyrie, Yeah, minus some

887
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: role players. But I don't think Jared Dudley is really

888
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 3: the key to them not being that good.

889
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 6: This is Jimmy's fourth team that needs one more.

890
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: Can I can I throw another nominee for Worse of

891
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: the Week?

892
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.

893
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: I think Stephen A. Smith should be on the run

894
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 1: in here. He said the goat. He said some dumb

895
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: ass things this week, and I'll just point out two

896
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: of them. And I do love Stephen A. Smith, very charismatic,

897
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: very entertained. But come on a few days ago, he said,

898
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: he declared, I should say Devin Booker the perfect fit

899
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Okay, wow, yeah, he'd be pretty good

900
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: on them and the organization. The Lakers should make moves

901
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 1: to trade Kyle Kuzma for Booker.

902
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, awesome, how can you disagree?

903
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Plinka, get to work on that, all right. But

904
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: then okay, then on top of that, yesterday, I don't know,

905
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: it's during some sort of Twitter ama like where he

906
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: does you know, he takes a question and he does

907
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: a little video. Again, He's incredible. He's the best, you know,

908
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: even followers does he have probably five million followers. The

909
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: guy does everything. He's got like a three out radio show.

910
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: He's on every show on he span. I love him,

911
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. But he goes and says, could

912
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: you imagine somebody like Yiannis surrounded by Stephen Clay Golden

913
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: State would be back in the championship for the next

914
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: three to five years. Okay, he's become Leggie got a

915
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: new Hotels dot Com guy captain obvious here and like, yeah.

916
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 6: I still do you know anything about basketball?

917
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: Apparently I don't know. I don't buy so anyway, I'm

918
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: just throwing Stephen a especially that Booker one was like

919
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: just that one was insane. Kyle Kuzma, I guess that's

920
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 1: working for him. He's convinced stephen A that that's somewhat

921
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: of a fair trade there. Maybe Kuzma for books.

922
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 4: You just gotta put it out there, man, You never

923
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 4: know what'll happen. Sure that Devin Booker makes almost thirty

924
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 4: times as much as Kyle Kuzma. Bet there's a way

925
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 4: to figure it out.

926
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm gonna add on another nominee for

927
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: Worse of the Week because he just reminded me of

928
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 3: another one. And this is exactly what they want us

929
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 3: to do, skeets. Stephen A wants us talking about it.

930
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: Skip Bayless wants us talking about it. But I'm gonna

931
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 3: include Skip Bayless here. It's actually more about Fox Sports.

932
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: Fox Sports website on Friday morning. Here Friday morning, This

933
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 3: is approximately thirty six hours after the Lakers lost to

934
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 3: the Orlando Magic. The number one story on Fox sports

935
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 3: web page is Skip Bayless. Colon Lebron James once again

936
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: proved he doesn't have the clutch gene in lost to Magic.

937
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 3: They lost on Wednesday, and that's the number one on story. Yeah, anyway,

938
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 3: it's less about what they want. It's less about mister

939
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: Skip and mister Steven and more about you know what

940
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 3: it's about. It's more about the platforms they work for.

941
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: And definitely in this Fox Sports situation, you know, Stephen A,

942
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 3: the Den Booker situation, he did say everybody's getting a

943
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 3: little bit excited about what Kyle Kuzma will bring back, right, yeah,

944
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: and they're overinflating it. So he he kind of talked

945
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: about it as a trade, right like Kuzma. I know,

946
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: Nu Kuzma's does an equal Devin Booker, but it was

947
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: sort of like a trade scenario sort of, you know what.

948
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he went to the ESPN trade machine.

949
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 1: Well, I would like to write now declare that Devin

950
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: Booker is the perfect fit for the Raptors. Think he's

951
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: the perfect fit.

952
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 4: Would you trade Lowry for Booker?

953
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: I think the organization organization should look into that. Yeah,

954
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: well that what actually would maybe work too. Salaries almost

955
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: match up. I mean, I just it's silly they're not

956
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: They're not trading Booker for Kuzma. And yeah, no doubt

957
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: the Lakers would want Booker. Yeah, he's an all star,

958
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: bordoline all star it's wild all right. Speaking of All Stars,

959
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: third and final fan returns of NBA All Star voting

960
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: dropped yesterday. Lebron maintains his hold as the leading vote getter.

961
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: He's aout one hundred and fifty thousand votes ahead of

962
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: Luca in the West, while reigning MVP Yannis he is

963
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: still number one in the East. Enjoy it while while

964
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: you can Yannis in the East because he's going to

965
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: be going to the Warriors and they're going to be

966
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: a championship team for three to five years. Just to

967
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: remind everyone, fan voting counts for fifty percent of the

968
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,479
Speaker 1: vote for the five starters and two backcourt, three front

969
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: court guys from each conference. Other fifty percent split evenly

970
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: between the media members and the players themselves. So fan

971
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: vote currently Lebron, Ady Kawhi, Luca, and Harden as the

972
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: Western Conference starters. Yannis Siakam bumped up the second there

973
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: Embiid and then Trey Young and Kyrie Irving still your guards.

974
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: In the Eastern Conference, those would be the starters if

975
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: it were just up to the fans. Voting closes this Monday, guys,

976
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: with those All Star starters, So if you have an

977
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: official ballot. You have to have it in by basically

978
00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: midnight on Monday. We'll find out those ten guys and

979
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: including the two captains, the leading vote getters in each conference.

980
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: They're announced on Thursday, next Thursday. So I thought, let's

981
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: pretend we have an official ballot. I don't think this

982
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: is going to take a long time here, because they're

983
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: a lot we'll agree on. But who are your ten

984
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: all star starters? Not who you think is going to

985
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: be selected? Like, once it's all said and done, you

986
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: have a ballot right here today on Friday, you got

987
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: to fill it out before you head out for the weekend.

988
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,479
Speaker 1: Who's the ten names on your list?

989
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 3: Who wants to get a start conference?

990
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: Well, let's start with the West's start with the West. Yeah,

991
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm I'm assuming there's four. We agree on

992
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: Luca and Harden. We're all writing down, put it in pen.

993
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: There are guards, yep, Lebron and Ad agree. Who's your

994
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: third forward in the West? I am putting Kawhi Leonard down.

995
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm curious who anyone else entered.

996
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Land, I'm not putt Kawhi down. I know he's

997
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 6: a great player. He's going to be in the game.

998
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 6: But this is for the fans.

999
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't think why.

1000
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 6: I really can't beat the fans, so I'm cutting him.

1001
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 4: I love it.

1002
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: Well, Okay, I also didn't include Kwi. He's sitting games

1003
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: more so than any other player that aren't due to injury.

1004
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 3: He is, he's.

1005
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: Basically okay, yeah, yeah, he's actively sitting here.

1006
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah he's the only player who's doing it that.

1007
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: But he still played thirty two games. He's still played

1008
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: over seventy five percent of his team's games.

1009
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: You know, I think it should be a higher percentage.

1010
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: I do. If he's a.

1011
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 4: Quarter of the season, that's a big part of the season.

1012
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 3: At the end of the year, that's sixty games that

1013
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 3: you're playing out of eighty two. It's not a lot.

1014
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I don't want to jump ahead. Then if

1015
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: you're saying that seventy five percent of your team's games

1016
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: isn't enough, you better not have siakaman EmpId just wait

1017
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: on your roster. Okay.

1018
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, just so you say, at least he didn't Those

1019
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 3: guys didn't sit out on purpose. I think Kawai took it,

1020
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 3: took himself out of this contention.

1021
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 4: Okay, So that's the question it's between Kawai and Jokic.

1022
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 4: Kawhi has missed games for knee maintenance. Throwback, it used

1023
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 4: to be called load maintenance. I'm old enough to remember

1024
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 4: hoad manager those days. Right, good times.

1025
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 3: Gotta have a body part in there.

1026
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 4: Well, who is it? Is it Kawhi or is it

1027
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 4: Nikola Jokic who didn't miss games but kind of games

1028
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 4: the first half of the first month of the season.

1029
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,479
Speaker 4: These are virtual missed games.

1030
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, he got off to a terrible start. But I'm

1031
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 6: going with Jokic because I think he's picked it up.

1032
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 6: The Nuggets have been much better. He's at nineteen and

1033
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 6: ten with seven assists, six and a half assists the game,

1034
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 6: shooting fifty one percent from the field, eighty percent line,

1035
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 6: thirty three from downtown. I'm going with him. I just

1036
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 6: I just think he's deserving of it.

1037
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: Are you only doing that so Anthony Davis doesn't have

1038
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: to play center in.

1039
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 6: The Australia doesn't want to. No, it's really because I

1040
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 6: want another foreign born in there. Yeah, I'm biased against outside.

1041
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: Of America, boring American Kawi Leonard, Yeah, who actually may

1042
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: be a boring American all things considered.

1043
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 6: Okay, So Anyway, despite all the numbers that I do

1044
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 6: think Jokic is deserving and if you've got to find

1045
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 6: a reason to put him in over Kawhi, I think

1046
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 6: I think the one the kawhis handing you that reason,

1047
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 6: Hey to your ballot, thank you.

1048
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 3: I bet Jokic for three reasons, Kauai is not allowed

1049
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 3: to Jokic. Also, the numbers aren't good. When Tray was

1050
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 3: commented there about the virtual sitting, totally true. He wasn't

1051
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,359
Speaker 3: there on offense, but the defensive numbers were very good.

1052
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 3: He was leading a great Nuggets team on the defensive end.

1053
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: Even though people say he's not a good defender, he

1054
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 3: was a part of that defense. He was the backbone

1055
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 3: of that defense. That being said, the third reason is

1056
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 3: he did what we wanted him to do and that

1057
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 3: he started caring about offense. And now their defense is

1058
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 3: dropped off. And so thank you Nikoli Jokich for being

1059
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 3: a good offensive player. And so their defense is now eleventh,

1060
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 3: which is kind of surprising. Their top two, top one

1061
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 3: for a while. But now he's great, He's back to

1062
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 3: being Nikolijokic.

1063
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: In my books, I do have an arbitrary like seventy

1064
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: five percent of of your team's games played is enough

1065
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: for me. That's sort of like when you're getting drastically

1066
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: below that, then it's not enough. But Kawi's there. Yes,

1067
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: sometimes he chose to miss those games, but he's still

1068
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: played thirty two and great timing on his part. I

1069
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: don't think he cares about an All Star game, but

1070
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: I'll sure tell you this is going to help his case.

1071
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Over the last four games, he missed a game against

1072
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: the Knicks. Right now, over his last four games, he's

1073
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 1: averaging thirty five point three points per game in thirty

1074
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: three minutes per game, shooting fifty six percent from the

1075
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: floor forty five from three on a lot of attempts.

1076
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: The five and a half boards, the four and a

1077
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: half assists, the two and a half steals, nearly a block.

1078
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, these are unbelievable numbers. It's only four games.

1079
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 1: I get that, but he's picking it up here at

1080
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: the right time. And he's a better player than Yokicic,

1081
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: so I'm still going him.

1082
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 4: I got Qui as well, Okay, I mean, I'm with you.

1083
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 4: He's just better. He's the reigning Finals MVP, and he's

1084
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 4: probably the best player in the league. In one single

1085
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 4: game that actually matters.

1086
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 3: Is there a do you it's true?

1087
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: Do you have is was there the toughest omission for you?

1088
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 3: I do think Qui's numbers. I think you should include

1089
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 3: it should be averaged out with the games he misses,

1090
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 3: so he should get zero's for a game so he

1091
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 3: misses too, see how they go anyways, toughest emission, yeah

1092
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 3: it was.

1093
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: Was there a toughestubmission kui for me?

1094
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 3: Okay?

1095
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 2: Tough?

1096
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, he wasn't super tough for me. Yeah, alright. I

1097
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 6: love that conference.

1098
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 4: I love them.

1099
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, just Blackman at the line and then All

1100
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: Star Game.

1101
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 6: You know we always say, yeah's for the fans, it's

1102
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 6: for the fans, and so well with one guy just

1103
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 6: doesn't really care about the fans, and why put him

1104
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 6: in there? Yok yokich will be great in the All

1105
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 6: Star Game because he's got all those all sorts of

1106
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 6: highlights in the way that he passes and throws up

1107
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:21,720
Speaker 6: those flicky flippity shots.

1108
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 4: I think that's highlights last year, right, yo, kitch?

1109
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, all of them?

1110
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, exactly exactly.

1111
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: Come, I don't remember I would give them. I'll give

1112
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: you this. I do love the argument of not wanting

1113
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: claim the All Star Game because he doesn't care about Yeah, sure,

1114
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: I think that's how hilarious are you going to lean into?

1115
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: And hey, by all means he's still on my team. Okay,

1116
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: So Eastern Conference, Uh, probably a little bit more difficult,

1117
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: especially if you want to start talking about the seventy

1118
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: five percent games play at threshold because there's a couple

1119
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: of guys, like I said right there in Siakam and

1120
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: Embiid and Kyrie. You know he wouldn't make it. But

1121
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: who are your who are your guards on your Eastern

1122
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: Conference All Stars starters? Tst start us off? Who are

1123
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: your two guards?

1124
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 3: Kemba which I think we're all universal?

1125
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: Yep, I've got Kemba.

1126
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, here comes the toughie. I took Trey Young. It's

1127
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: an All Star game. He's been amazing And not only

1128
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: has he been amazing, but he's also been efficient, which

1129
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 3: is I thought a little bit bonkers, you know, because

1130
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 3: he's the only guy who can really score on that team.

1131
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: They try and take him out. He's still efficient, ye,

1132
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 3: and he wants to be there, and he's gonna put

1133
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 3: on a show. I mean, he who has been put

1134
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 3: on the show the most over the first three four months.

1135
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 3: Arguably it's him on Instagram and doing those social highlights,

1136
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 3: and he won't be a Nikola Jokic with no highlights.

1137
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 3: He will he will continue to produce those highlights, not

1138
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 3: megging people at All Star weekends. So it's him.

1139
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 1: Trey Young is your second guard.

1140
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 4: Trey, I'm inspiring choices. Honestly, for a second guard. It's

1141
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 4: like Trey Young, who is incredible on one end of

1142
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 4: the floor and a zero on the other end of

1143
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 4: the floor. Ben Simmons is in the mix for me,

1144
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 4: who is almost the flip flop of that, except for

1145
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 4: he actually does stuff on offense. He just can't shoot,

1146
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 4: just doesn't want to shoot. That's fine. Not everybody has

1147
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 4: to have the exact same game. And then next up

1148
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 4: for those guys I think is Kyle Lowry and Malcolm Brogden.

1149
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 4: But then you're getting into they both missed eleven games.

1150
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 4: That's a quarter of the season already, so that's maybe

1151
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 4: something that can disqualify you. But I think ultimately I

1152
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 4: go with Trey Young too. It's an All Star game.

1153
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 4: He'll be fun and he has been really, really good,

1154
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 4: and he's not the reason the Hawks are the worst

1155
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 4: team in the way.

1156
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly it. I also have Trey Young, I

1157
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: think I think this is an important point too. Howard

1158
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: Becka saw pushing it, you know, on his podcast. I

1159
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: think you had a little video and Bleacher Report too.

1160
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: We want our All Stars to come from winning teams.

1161
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: I think we all agree with that, but it's not

1162
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: a prerequisite. And it's you look at even last year,

1163
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: six All Stars from losing teams, you know, records at

1164
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: the time. Over the last decade he did the math

1165
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: beck did, forty two All Stars have come from losing

1166
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: teams on average, about four for four per season, is

1167
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. And you've had guys like

1168
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: Wall and Kyrie and Nash and Kobe, you know, like

1169
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 1: it happens. So it's not it's yeah, it's not great.

1170
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: We would like the Hawks to have, you know, ten

1171
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: more wins at this point, but they don't put it

1172
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: on the end of the world. He cans still playing

1173
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: an All Star games.

1174
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, but I think people people wouldn't be as

1175
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 3: upset with it if he was in twelfth rather than

1176
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 3: he's in dead really dead less. Well, yeah, I think

1177
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 3: there were they're losing team. Yeah, but there's a lot

1178
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 3: less dispute about those guys you mentioned. I mean, it's

1179
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 3: just this doesn't happen very often to be to be

1180
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,479
Speaker 3: dead right at the bottom trace. It happened to Tracey

1181
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: McGrady once, and it happened to Carmelo Anthony.

1182
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: If I do have that correct, like being at the

1183
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the barrel.

1184
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's it in the in the history of

1185
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 3: the NBA.

1186
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: Well again, it's not his fault. It's not really. So

1187
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 1: I go Tray Young too, because I think, what what

1188
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: our own tray here, the real life tray O my eyes,

1189
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: it's the Yeah, it's tough to really talk myself into

1190
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: anyone else.

1191
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 3: True.

1192
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 6: The other guy I was looking at was Jalen Brown.

1193
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 6: I think he's been really good for a winning team

1194
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 6: in Boston, but ultimately try Young is having statistically a

1195
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 6: better season. So I got with Trey, But yeah, you

1196
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 6: put you. Basically, I'm looking I'm like, not Kyrie. This

1197
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 6: is based on the on the vote count and the record.

1198
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 6: Right now, it's not Kyrie. It's not Derek Rose, it's

1199
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 6: not Kyle Larrett, it's not Levigne. Then it's Brown, Simmons, Beal,

1200
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 6: and Van Vliet and I'm like, Brown's the strongest one

1201
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 6: out of the remainder. But I gave them not in

1202
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 6: the inter tray young as well.

1203
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 3: In years past, though, some way, some somehow, the All

1204
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 3: Star conductors are able to shift one guy from the

1205
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 3: other position and throw him into the position they want.

1206
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 3: And that's why Jimmy Butler would be perfect in this

1207
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 3: spot right for the people who want winners, and they

1208
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 3: usually do, but this year we're getting strict. He's a Ford,

1209
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 3: he can't play guard.

1210
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: Well, is he in the mix for one of your

1211
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: forward spots as a starter? Let's fill out the three

1212
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: forward spots.

1213
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 4: Who do you got?

1214
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead?

1215
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 6: I'm going with Jannis Pascal and Jimmy's best Gal.

1216
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yiannis is the only lock for me, the only

1217
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 4: I think is closer to a lock than Embiid. I

1218
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 4: have both Siakam and Embiid ahead of Butler in line,

1219
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 4: but Embiid and have missed eleven games. Is back. The

1220
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 4: games are going to pile up for if he stays

1221
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 4: out any longer with this hand surgery. Yea, And in

1222
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 4: that case then I think Jimmy slips in there. But

1223
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 4: I mean I think Embiid has had a little bit

1224
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 4: better season than Jimmy Butler a little bit better numbers.

1225
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:11,799
Speaker 1: Though.

1226
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 4: Adding Jimmy to the heat has really solidified their culture

1227
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 4: and made their team make sense. But I mean just

1228
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 4: crazy to Yeah, yeah, exactly. And he's played more games.

1229
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 4: So I think that Jimmy's coming for that spot. I

1230
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 4: just don't think he's quite there yet.

1231
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 3: Siakam has been the most dominant of those guys. Even

1232
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 3: though he's missed twenty five percent of his games, he

1233
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 3: has been really really good when he's played it and

1234
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 3: he's back. Astre said, so I had him as as

1235
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 3: a walk. I understand it does. It does for him

1236
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 3: to miss so many games. And I threw in Joel

1237
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 3: Embiid as well, because Jimmy can come off the bench.

1238
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 3: He can play the fourth quarters. Last year was it

1239
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 3: last year? He didn't even want to play two two

1240
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 3: years ago. He's in LA he said, I'm not playing.

1241
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm an All Star. I'll put on my jersey, but

1242
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm not going to run on the floor. And that happened,

1243
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 3: so that here you're not allowed. You can come off

1244
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 3: the bench. And because because embiid season has not been

1245
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,959
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly good, No, but Jimmy Butler's has even been less.

1246
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 3: So really, I mean Trey brought up the numbers on

1247
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 3: that or Midseason podcast yesterday, twenty seven percent from three

1248
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 3: point lane.

1249
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they don't wow you. He's a he's a

1250
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven and six guy. They're good and the defense

1251
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 1: is there with the two steals, but yeah, shooting wise,

1252
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not gonna knock your socks off. I

1253
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: I do have Giannis and I have Embiid again, Embiids.

1254
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: It'll be he's gonna miss more games here, so that's

1255
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: gonna hurt his case. And maybe he'll just be ruled

1256
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: out of the All Star Game and it still could

1257
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: select him, of course, and then you can have a replacement.

1258
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: I think that's actually what's gonna happen. So I got Giannison, Embiid,

1259
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: it's that third one man. I'll throw two more names

1260
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: in the mix. I know you guys are talking a

1261
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: lot between deciding between Siakham and Butler. I think some

1262
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: bonus could be in that mix as well, deserving as

1263
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: an All Star spot. And I'm gonna say it, and

1264
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Chris Middleton has had a get.

1265
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 1: It has to get a real good look at that.

1266
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: If I swear to god Evis with any other team

1267
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: with a thirty seven and six record, there'd be a

1268
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: hell a lot more people saying they deserve more than

1269
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: one All Star. Well, they deserve more one starting All Star.

1270
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 3: I mean Warren starting All Star. I don't think people

1271
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 3: care if he's starting or not. He's gonna be there.

1272
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: He better be there because his numbers are unbelievable right now.

1273
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: And it's shocking me because I was last year trying

1274
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 1: to make the case that I thought Bledsoe was more

1275
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: important to the success at the halfway mark than Middleton was.

1276
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: But Middleton is a twenty point per game score and

1277
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: you know six boards force this okay, but he's lights

1278
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: out shooting forty nine percent from the floor forty one

1279
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: from three eighty nine at the line, and he doesn't

1280
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: even play nearly as many minutes as these other three guys.

1281
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 1: So it's per thirty six are through the roof. Middleton

1282
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: has to be the mix. I don't think he's gonna

1283
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: make it. Ultimately, I'm gonna vote for Jimmy Butler over Siakam,

1284
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 1: though I am yeah, so you can't, hey for once,

1285
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: you can't y'll homer at me. Why don't you say

1286
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: not Homer when I not Homer? Rightago, Butler, that's a

1287
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: tough one, and I really do like the tiebreaker is

1288
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 1: the more games played.

1289
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Middleton and the Bonus are both going

1290
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 6: to be there for me, There's no question about that. Yeah,

1291
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 6: But the starting in the game unlikely.

1292
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: I would say, Man, imagine you really had to fill

1293
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: it a ballot. You would know you would. You would

1294
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: do yours in like one second. That's what I like

1295
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: about you, and I also hate about you. But you

1296
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: would just get that ballot bo boom, boom boom, here

1297
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: you go. Well I would, I would agonize. I'd be

1298
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: up all right for days, pretending like it matters. That's

1299
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: the difference between you and me, exactly.

1300
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 6: I don't play by the rule.

1301
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, your ballot literally would be you would scratch out

1302
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: East and West, you would put World USA. You create

1303
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: a whole new rule set for the games.

1304
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 6: Well that's what I'm looking for, man, I'm looking for

1305
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:55,440
Speaker 6: the twelve non US borners. I think we can do it.

1306
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 6: Kyrie Kants is a non US born.

1307
00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 4: Why don't you turn your green cart in?

1308
00:57:59,440 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: Then?

1309
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 3: Gonna get yourself kicked out of this place.

1310
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 6: Why this is this is a country for immigrants, I thought,

1311
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 6: isn't it?

1312
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: I had a call about start my green card process.

Speaker 1: Week, it really is, all right, difficult one. All right,

1346
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: let's get to tweet.

1347
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 3: Of the night, tweet out the night.

1348
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, guys, hold on to your butts for

1349
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: this one. On yesterday's show, we started talking about the

1350
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Big Three changes to their league, which then led us

1351
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: to talking about three on three being added to this

1352
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: year's Olympics, which then led us to wondering whether Lebron

1353
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: could just add himself to Team USA's three on three team,

1354
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: which then turned into a discussion about how Lebron would

1355
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: compete at the events at the Olympics, like say, the pentathlon,

1356
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: which then led us to figuring out, what the hell

1357
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: is the pentathlon? What is in that event, which finally

1358
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: got us wondering how well a horse would do at

1359
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: other events in the Olympics aka the horse Athon. So

1360
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: At Troy likes stuff. He tweeted in he wanted to

1361
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: dig a little deeper into the whole Lebron versus a

1362
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: horse at the Olympics thing, which was not something we've

1363
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: really got into. But you can see how in my

1364
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: explanation he got to that Lebron and a horse, if

1365
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: they were competing in the Olympics, how that might shake out.

1366
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: So At Troy likes stuff. He hit us with a

1367
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: number of tweets a great thread scoring who would win

1368
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: each particular Olympic event between the two. So I want

1369
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: you guys to feel free to jump in. Maybe you

1370
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: don't like the scoring on one of the particular events,

1371
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: maybe you've got a comment about it. Whatever, We're gonna

1372
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: go through a lot of them here. But it's very funny. Okay,

1373
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: aquatics horses per Google because he googled it. They can

1374
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: barely swim. What I always thought a horse was good

1375
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 1: in water?

1376
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 4: I really did, so did everybody. You said it yesterday

1377
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 4: and we're like, yeah, yeah, of course a horse swimming.

1378
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 6: You always see their teeth like when in the water, Like, really,

1379
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 6: maybe I didn't like it at all.

1380
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they always jump over it in the questrian.

1381
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think now that I think about it,

1382
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: anytime I see a horse in the water, it's the

1383
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: horse in water that's still enough that their hooves are

1384
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: on the rocks at the bottom, like they're touching it,

1385
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: and they look pretty happy and confident in the water.

1386
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: But that's really just because they're standing in the water.

1387
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 3: Horses like to have their hooves on the ground, that's

1388
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 3: what they say.

1389
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: So Lebron won horse zero archery hooves no good here.

1390
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: Now I will debate that I thought the hooves on

1391
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: a horse had a little notch in it, so maybe

1392
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: that'd be really nice with the butt. But okay, Lebron

1393
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: two horse zero athletics. Finally we get to run and

1394
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: run fast. Horse one horse wins that one. Badminton hooves

1395
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: Lebron three horse one. Baseball slash softball technically a team

1396
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: sport which cannot be played solo, so both four fit

1397
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: that one. Okay, basketball Lebron's day job. Lebron four horse one.

1398
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but horses a whole game. Yeah, Okay, we might

1399
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 4: have to think about.

1400
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: This, okay, boxing, he writes at Troy like stuff. I

1401
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: don't want to think about this one. Too much boxing.

1402
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Do you know, imagine a Lebron and a horse boxing.

1403
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: He scores it Lebron five horse one. I'm with you.

1404
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: The horse could turn around do some damage, kicking away

1405
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: like an.

1406
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 5: I'm just thinking, you can't kick in boxing, but it

1407
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 5: would be he'd.

1408
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 6: Be out of Ducky's.

1409
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: But what if we put the boxing gloves on the

1410
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 1: horses rear hooves? Then are they not the hands?

1411
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 5: No, that's still kicking. It would have to be his

1412
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 5: front pause.

1413
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Those are still his feet.

1414
01:03:58,760 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 3: Gloves, Lebron's feet.

1415
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 4: When a horse rears up right, it's picking up those

1416
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 4: front ones. And even in that scenario, I'm still going

1417
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,640
Speaker 4: horse because I mean, this is gonna sound crazy. A

1418
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 4: horse could take unlimited punches to the face from Lebron

1419
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 4: James and all a horse needs is one rear up

1420
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 4: boxing gloves on front hoofs and one strike. Lebron is

1421
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 4: not gonna be able to hang with a horse.

1422
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 5: But here's wouldn't you have to find a horse that

1423
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 5: weighs around the same as a good.

1424
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 6: Point in the In the Olympics they wear those helmets

1425
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 6: as well, So I imagine trying to put that on

1426
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 6: the horse. Yeah, that'd be a tough little fit, you'd

1427
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 6: get one, I guess. Yeah, okay, let's give it going.

1428
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: We got a lot of events cycling, Okay, cycling. I

1429
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: refuse to live in a world where you can't design

1430
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: a bike that could be peddled by a strong, powerful horse.

1431
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: So Lebron five horse two. So Troy giving that one

1432
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: to the horse. We are designing a bike that the

1433
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: horse could power. And I think that's fair, Like why not?

1434
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 6: Sure?

1435
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1436
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 6: The only thing is I mean, if he's talking about,

1437
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 6: like in the velodrome, there's some pretty shop turns there.

1438
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 6: If you're a big, heavy horse, it's hot to you know,

1439
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 6: maneuver in like that.

1440
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Lebron's a big guy too.

1441
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's easy for him. He's not a horse white though.

1442
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Okay, equestrian horse's day job. So Lebron five horse three,

1443
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: here's the comeback fencing hoofs Lebron six horse three. Yeah,

1444
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:24,959
Speaker 1: I can't argue that one horse.

1445
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 5: What getting back to the question, the horse would have

1446
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 5: to be riding a horse.

1447
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's.

1448
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: A horse on a horse, of course, of course. Yeah,

1449
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: but come on, we gotta give.

1450
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 3: I think I think a horse on the back of

1451
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 3: a horse. But they were like Okay, we we know

1452
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 3: what we're doing here. We would just get a small

1453
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 3: jockey size horse.

1454
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 6: Just get one of those little horses.

1455
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, So okay, after fencing, it's six

1456
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: to three Lebron football, soccer, variety team sport, so across

1457
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: from the front. It's weird that we counted basketball for

1458
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: Lebron in a teams, but we're striking all these other ones,

1459
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, anyway, golf, golf, Okay, hooves strike once

1460
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: more in golf. It's gonna be now, I would argue that.

1461
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: So he gives it to Lebron seven three Lebron right now,

1462
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: But what about this? Couldn't we tape? Could we not

1463
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: tape the club to the horse's foot?

1464
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 3: And it's like, it's just what I don't think you'd

1465
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 3: be successful.

1466
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 4: I'm thinking club in mouth, you know, swinging the head

1467
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 4: back and forth.

1468
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 6: Well, I'm mostly thinking the horse wouldn't even be allowed

1469
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 6: on the green. They pick it up.

1470
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: So every step he takes, sir, every step. That's a

1471
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: good point, all right. Gymnastics, now, Troy writes, do they

1472
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: change the strength of the uneven or parallel bars based

1473
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: on the size of the athlete? Now, I don't. I

1474
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: think the answer is no, but they would have to.

1475
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: They should be a horse could have a great floor

1476
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: routine and would be super cute with that ribbon thing.

1477
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 6: M so good point.

1478
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: He calls it a tie seven and a half Lebron

1479
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: horse three and a half.

1480
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 4: That's fair.

1481
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: A lot of events in gymnastics.

1482
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 6: Who would win the pummel horse the horse Lebron.

1483
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 4: It's a different horse.

1484
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: Actually, you can see Lebron. I'm pretty good at that

1485
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: handball and field hockey. If we can make a bike

1486
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: for the horse to ride, then we can do something

1487
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: about these damn hooves. So he just or he wants

1488
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: to do something about these damn hooves. He scores both

1489
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: for Lebron. Lebron is up nine and a half to

1490
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: three and a half for the horse. Judo and karate

1491
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: based solely on the logo for each event. Judo involves

1492
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: flipping and lebroni and flipping a horse, and karate involves

1493
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: kicking horses renowned for their kicking ability knows that. So

1494
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: horse takes both events. Lebron nine and a half, horse

1495
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: five and a half. Here we go modern pentathlon. This

1496
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: all comes down to a run, says Troy so the

1497
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: question is can the horse keep it close enough to

1498
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: out run LBJ because the horse gets zeros for fencing

1499
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: and shooting and swimming again, but Lebron probably gets a

1500
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: zero in riding because that's in this the modern pentathlon.

1501
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: So Lebron is likely going to have a thirteen and

1502
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: a half or thirteen plus minute head start in a

1503
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: three thousand meter race and should win. So Lebron has

1504
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a massive lead in the run because of his other

1505
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: events in dominating the horse. Could the horse catch him?

1506
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: He says no, So ten and a half for Lebron.

1507
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 1: That's a win for Lebron.

1508
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 6: Wow.

1509
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did it's deep?

1510
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 4: It?

1511
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:31,879
Speaker 6: Congrats?

1512
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1513
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirteen minutes. Yeah, the world record for three thousand

1514
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 3: meters is seven minutes and twenty four seconds.

1515
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 6: That right, it's only three columbitus right.

1516
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 3: Oh, so Lebron's gonna do victory laps.

1517
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Lebron has a big enough head start. I

1518
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 1: do agree with that breakdown. That was well detailed. So

1519
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: ten and a half Lebron horse five and a half rowing,

1520
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: similar to the cycling modification rule, says Troy. So he's

1521
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: given it to the horse. So I guess we've designed

1522
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: because of the horses. If we can just rig him

1523
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: up the right way, he could do all right in rowing. True, yeah,

1524
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: if we figured it out, I'm giving we're giving it

1525
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: to him rugby. I know this should fall under the

1526
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: team sport forfeit rule rights Troy, but the horse gets points.

1527
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 6: Here.

1528
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,560
Speaker 1: A horse on a rugby field, if you can just

1529
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: attach the ball to him, would be unstoppable.

1530
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,679
Speaker 4: Just has to pick it up with his flat teeth.

1531
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, certainly couldn't take him down.

1532
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, So that's ten and a half for

1533
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,759
Speaker 1: Lebron Horse seven and a half. Sailing, shooting, skateboarding, sport, climbing, surfing,

1534
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 1: table tennis, and tennis. They all go to Lebron because

1535
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: you know a lot of those the hooves coming into

1536
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 1: play here, skateboarding. If we put skateboard for skateboards on

1537
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 1: the horse, is that because it's all about increasing your difficulty.

1538
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: That might be seen fondly in the judge's eyes. But

1539
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: whatever Lebron gets the win. Lebron seventeen and a half horse,

1540
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 1: seven and a half final ones. Uh here, guys, Triathlon, weightlifting,

1541
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: and wrestling all go to the horse.

1542
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 4: All three events triathlon even.

1543
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, yeah, I guess because we've modified the bike

1544
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be great in the run.

1545
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1546
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: The swim is the swim. He's gonna be behind. He's

1547
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 1: gonna be quite substantially to help shall is Lebron a

1548
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:18,599
Speaker 1: good swimmer.

1549
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 4: I remember him jumping off a high dive once. That's

1550
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 4: the only thing I remember water wise, And he was

1551
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 4: a little scared when he was jumping in, but he

1552
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 4: had a good time, all right.

1553
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: So anyway, we give all three of those to the horse.

1554
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: Final total Lebron's seventeen and a half horse ten and

1555
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: a half. Lebron wins the Lebron versus Horse Olympics. Wow,

1600
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 1: It's true, that is true. I'm going Spurs. They actually

1601
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: play pretty well when they return from a road trip,

1602
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 1: generally in their first game. I'm gonna go Spurs to

1603
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: cover the big line again.

1604
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,000

1607
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 4: a Spurs man. A bit of a long layoff for

1608
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 4: the Hawks. Are they ready to go on the road

1609
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,759

1614
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the day, have fun. Yeah, we're al's done here, but

1615
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 1: before we go, a little rapid fire from.

1616
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 3: It's not only on the basketball floor where Knicks players

1617
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 3: are having a tough time, They're also having trouble getting

1618
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 3: to the game. The Athletics Mike Workanoff wrote a piece

1619
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 3: this week focusing on the twenty eight mile or forty

1620
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 3: five kilometer distance between practice facility and arena, in which

1621
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 3: guard Alfred Payton says, quote, it's essentially a road game. O.

1622
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 3: What was your worst commute? Jd Well.

1623
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 5: We were discussing this yesterday, whether it was the commute

1624
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 5: in general or one single trip on a commute, And

1625
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 5: I've been lucky enough to not really ever have a

1626
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 5: bad commute. So I'm just gonna go with one trip

1627
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 5: that I took. And I was on the Bay bus

1628
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 5: heading down to my kid's daycare. I was there with

1629
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 5: my son Lincoln, and we were sitting sort of in

1630
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 5: the front of the bus. He was in a stroller.

1631
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 5: He was two and a half years old, and we

1632
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 5: were This woman who clearly had Down syndrome came on

1633
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 5: and sat next to us on the bus, which was whatever,

1634
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 5: it's fine. A few stops in she leaned over to

1635
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 5: Lincoln two and a half years old and said, you're

1636
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 5: an asshole. This is all your fault. Who which was like, okay,

1637
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 5: what do you do?

1638
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 2: Like?

1639
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 3: What do you do?

1640
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 5: The woman? She clearly has Down syndrome, And you know,

1641
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 5: it's not like I'm gonna you know, punch or anything

1642
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 5: or whatever.

1643
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 3: So anyway, I just.

1644
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 5: Said, okay, well, I have a good day, and we

1645
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 5: got off the bus. It was the middle of winter,

1646
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 5: and it was just it was one of those I

1647
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 5: felt really bad about it afterwards because clearly somebody had

1648
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 5: said this to her, you know what I mean, like

1649
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 5: somebody had she was just repeating this awful thing to

1650
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 5: my kid. It was just a bad, bad experience.

1651
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 3: Sure, And can I just ask a follow up question,

1652
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 3: is it possible she was saying it to you?

1653
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 1: No?

1654
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 3: She did not. No, I don't think so.

1655
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 5: I mean she literally leaned almost into his face and said, oh,

1656
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 5: like made eye contact and said, you're as.

1657
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 3: I thought, maybe I thought maybe she was saying it

1658
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 3: to you for having a stroller on the bus taking

1659
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 3: up space on the bus.

1660
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 5: Or maybe I don't think so because she was sitting

1661
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 5: next to me.

1662
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 3: Okatch, all right, Tray.

1663
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 4: My worst commute was the first real job I had

1664
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:44,560
Speaker 4: after college. I have to drive an hour and a

1665
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 4: half each way to a job that I just hated,

1666
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,600
Speaker 4: data research, putting in numbers to a computer. But the

1667
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 4: good thing was three young gentlemen had started one of

1668
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 4: the finest basketball podcasts known to man. It was called TBJ,

1669
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,040
Speaker 4: and I listened to it every day. But that I

1670
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 4: was back in the day before you could actually stream things,

1671
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 4: so I'd have to like download it onto my computer,

1672
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,680
Speaker 4: upload it to my iPod, plug my iPod into the

1673
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 4: thing that plugs into my like the lighter, and then

1674
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,160
Speaker 4: you're like trying to broadcast on eighty eight point five FM.

1675
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 4: You're like, uh, if you get a little bit too

1676
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,560
Speaker 4: close to to Calb, Illinois, you're gonna be getting some

1677
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 4: ninety four point seven creeping in in here. But ten

1678
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 4: years later, we're hugging, constantly hugging.

1679
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,560
Speaker 3: One point to you, Trey, all right, skates.

1680
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been pretty fortunate to not have a lot

1681
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: of like bad daily commutes too. Be it when I

1682
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: lived in Toronto living here in Atlanta, so I won't

1683
01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: go that route. But when I did live in Australia

1684
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: for the year, I lived in a pretty small rural

1685
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 1: town called Emerald in Victoria, and I worked on a

1686
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 1: tree farm and I was staying at a you know,

1687
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: a hostel, and every morning at like the crack of

1688
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: dawn because we were leaving at like five or six

1689
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: in the morning. You know, we all had to pile

1690
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,639
Speaker 1: into this bus and everybody's in their dirty ste clothes,

1691
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: and like we would be shipped around to all these

1692
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,799
Speaker 1: like flower farms and tree farms, and it's like bumpy

1693
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,680
Speaker 1: ass roads and it's hilly, and it's like it just

1694
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: sucked because it was also super early in the morning

1695
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 1: and you're going to work and it's like darkout, and

1696
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: it's like that was a bad commute. It wasn't super long.

1697
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was like thirty forty minutes, but it

1698
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 1: just sucked because everybody because you were staying at a

1699
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: hostel too, so you're literally drinking and partying every night,

1700
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: so everybody's hung over the next morning. Those are some

1701
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: fun obviously nights, but some rough mornings, but that was

1702
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: that was tough at times.

1703
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 3: All right, next one, here do you guys think we

1704
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,960

Speaker 3: and I'm just like you know, stuttering full. But the

1722
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 3: most memorable one was.

1723
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 5: At the Toronto International Film Festival in two thousand and six,

1724
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 5: the year we started this podcast, and my friend worked

1725
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 5: there and he got me tickets to the midnight showing

1726
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 5: of Borat. So it was the world premiere I think

1727
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 5: of Borat. So Sasha Baron Cohen was there, and I

1728
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 5: was I might meet Sasha Bear. Oh, that'd be pretty cool.

1729
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:54,840
Speaker 5: Where I ended up sitting, Larry Charles was right in

1730
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 5: front of me, and Michael Moore was right beside me.

1731
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 5: Oh so, Larry Charles's you know, he's one of my heroes.

1732
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 5: He's a director or director for Seinfeld for many years.

1733
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 5: He directed Borat and he went on to director Bruno

1734
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 5: and anyway I was trying to I was like, I

1735
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,520
Speaker 5: got to say something to Larry Charles. This is it's incredible.

1736
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 5: And of course I was by myself, so I didn't

1737
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 5: have anybody to sort of like pump me up or anything.

1738
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 5: So the movie started and I was like, god, damn it,

1739
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 5: I missed my chance. I'll say something after. I'll just

1740
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 5: you know, say wow, that was great. It would be

1741
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 5: the perfect opportunity. It was right in front of me.

1742
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 5: But the projector broke fifteen minutes into the showing, and

1743
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 5: then he Larry Charles was livid, like he got up

1744
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,639
Speaker 5: and he was screaming his head off and he stormed off.

1745
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 5: Michael Moore also got up. He tried to fix the

1746
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,919
Speaker 5: projector and per my friend, he actually made the projector

1747
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 5: worse so and it ended up that Michael Moore Larry

1748
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 5: Charles were up on stage doing an impromptu like a

1749

Speaker 5: movie didn't come back and we everybody just had to leave.

1754
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,400

Speaker 4: phrases that you know, anytime he would say something poop related,

1836
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 4: it would make it on its way onto a meme.

1837
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 4: I'd just like to take Internet culture and bring it

1838
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 4: to the private sphere.

1839
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're good at that. I think maybe sort of

1840
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 1: along those lines, cracking jokes about what I will call

1841
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: in quotations like coworkers. But what I mean by that

1842
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,280
Speaker 1: are like people that we all know that like work

1843
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: in this building. Be it like an office manager or

1844
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 1: the security guard that wants to talk about his diet

1845
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: all the time, just like you know, everybody here knows.

1846
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,720
Speaker 1: So the odd joke, you know, to light in the

1847
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: mood or whatever, it's a bonding experience for us with

1848
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: all of these sort of like outsiders, not better against us,

1849
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: but they are just a part of our weird lives.

1850
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 1: But I also think the answer to try and keep

1851
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: things light is asking Lee as many follow up questions

1852
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: about whatever he is talking about, because that is where

1853
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: we just get gold, be it on the podcast or

1854
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: when the mics are turned off. I just think we look.

1855
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I just love asking Lee questions about his thought process

1856
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 1: and anything, so I think that helps.

1857
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm really surprised you didn't yell him for dropping his

1858
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 3: kombucha bottle cap earlier in the show.

1859
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 6: It was like, mid, I'm like, didn't pick that up?

1860
01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and that one.

1861
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: I saw it and I thought about saying something, but

1862
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 1: pure accident. I'm a man, least part you know he'll miss,

1863
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: he'll miss a layup inside and they'll fumble a kombucha cap.

1864
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 1: But a man's funny from the tree. That's it for

1865
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: rapid Fire.

1866
01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 3: That is it for rapid Fire.

Speaker 1: on the playdate or other moms?

1885
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 6: It just depends on who the dad is. Some some

1886
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 6: dad you're tied with. Some dads want to talk ball, yeah,

1887

Speaker 6: oh yeah, and some dads just want to chill.

1888

Speaker 3: What do you want?

1889
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? Are you a chill dad?

1890
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 6: Yeah? I don't. I don't really want to talk ball

1891
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,760
Speaker 6: because the dads, the other dads really just want to

1892
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 6: just unload on you their opinions.

1893
01:26:58,120 --> 01:26:58,320
