22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,160

00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:15,640

25
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,160

26
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: Season's flying by already. I don't know what's going on.

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 4: Forty two years since the Old Star Weekend has been

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: in Chicago, did you know that?

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I can do the math.

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 5: He's went on the calendar for a long time.

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: Thirty There you go. You excited, very excited. Yeah, yeah,

32
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 4: you be cold Friday? Oh, here we go.

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: That's good.

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish it was thirty two degrees fahrenheit. It

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: won't be a lot colder than that.

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: What did you say it was gonna be.

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 5: The forecast is calling for fourteen, fair.

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: But sunny.

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: You know outside.

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: Fourteen feels like eighteen in the sun. So uh, big scarves?

41
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: All right? Yeah, that's coming up this week. We do

42
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: have our live show Saturday night before the All Star

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: festivities at Shuba's Tavern. Now that's sold out in a hurry, Sorry, guys,

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: tickets they're long gone. But I saw a couple of

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: people asking about this on Twitter and Instagram. We will

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: in theory be posting the live show podcasts either later

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: that night or early the next morning. We also have

48
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: a plan to do another podcast on the Sunday, wrapping

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: up the Saturday night festivities in Chicago. So we'll have

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: some content coming throughout the weekend. And make sure you

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: know I'm telling you every day here to follow us

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: on Twitter and Instagram. But come on, that's when you

53
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: know the content Kings will be pumping it out, having

54
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: some fun there, freezing our asses off in Chicago's.

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: We're going live for seventy two hours straight, Okay on Instagram?

56
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Oh I love it. I love that idea. All right,

57
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: let's get to winners and losers from the weekend. I

58
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: guess the biggest winner you heard it, off the top parasite,

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: the big winner of the weekend, cleaning up at the Oscars.

60
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: But what about the NBA weekend? What do you guys

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: have for the biggest NBA winner of the weekend.

62
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: Well, the Andrew Wiggins Air and Golden State off to

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: a razz bounding's success after his debut on Saturday. It's

64
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: clear there is no way it can fail. It's clear

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: that it can fail, but I think it's a good

66
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: start for a few reason. It's also good, not just

67
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: because of the way he played, but good for Warriors fans

68
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: to get used to Andrew Wiggins's way of playing, which

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: is he is one of those really really gifted athletes.

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: And it looks like he's not trying out there a

71
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: lot of the time, and sometimes he isn't trying out there,

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: but he is such a special athlete. I think it's

73
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: good for them to get two months in before the

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: games really count next season when Steph and Clay are back.

75
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: The offense was good, he had opportunities. He drove to

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: the rim, he did his thing that he's gonna have

77
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: to do when he gets space. He's just got a

78
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: straight line drive because he's gonna get space with those

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: other guys and he's not gonna pass, and he doesn't

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: need to pass. He's got to be that. Harrison Barnes

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: also good sign defense. They're gonna challenge him to be

82
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: really good on that end. He was playing good defense.

83
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: He was getting in Lebron's way on Saturday night on ABC.

84
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: He was getting in a lot of guys ways. That's

85
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: going to be a challenge on that, but he showed

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 3: on both ends he can drive not pass and do that.

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Also good news this weekend that Steph Curry reiterated his

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: desire to come back in a few weeks early March.

89
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: So they're going to get a couple months together. I'm sorry. Yeah,

90
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: let's say it's more like a month together before next season.

91
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: So I think that's good again before the games really matter.

92
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: He looks good in that gold jersey. And he got

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: some flak after the game because he said, we lost

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: a lot, you know, in Minnesota, So coming here and

95
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: being part of a winning team and a winning culture

96
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: is different. Losing is never fun. Just being here. You

97
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: can tell by everyone's attitude. Everyone is a coach. Everything

98
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: here everywhere they're winners. So he got flack because, hey, dude,

99
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: you are a problem as a part of that culture

100
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. But I think it's clear he can't be

101
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: a number one guy. He's not going to change a

102
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: culture on his own. He's not a culture setting type guy.

103
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 3: And if he goes to it a setting, I still

104
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: think there's hope. It's just a decent start. Twenty four

105
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: points and twelve shots, attitude, good everything.

106
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I think that's fair. A decent start is

107
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: the best way to put it, because still came in

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: a loss, and it's not like we haven't seen Wiggins

109
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: do this before, I mean either even this season with

110
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: the Wolves. Yeah, but it could have been a lot worse.

111
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: So I'm on board with decent for sure.

112
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: And he did look good, especially considering the very first

113
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 5: possession you had the ball, I'll pull up long too,

114
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 5: and you're like, oh yeah, babe, you're bringing the Wiggins

115
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 5: with you to Golden State. But that was his only

116
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 5: pull up long to Every other shot was a three

117
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 5: pointer or in the lane. He took nine free throw attempts,

118
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 5: being aggressive getting to the hoop. If you're the Warriors,

119
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 5: I suppose that's exactly what you want to see. It

120
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 5: came in a loss, but you're getting a little experience

121
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 5: playing next to Draymond Green. As Steve Curse said, it's

122
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 5: unusual for a power forward to be the leading assist

123
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: guy on a team, so that's something you got to learn.

124
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 5: And he was aggressive. So as long as you're getting

125
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: the aggressive Wiggins, you're gonna be happy. Will you get

126
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 5: it every night? Obviously not the good nights? Enjoy it.

127
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 4: It's crazy, though, you had to me, we're looking at

128
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: this guy and even the wars are saying, listen, we

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: don't want to be We're not expecting him to be

130
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: a star. We just want him to go out there

131
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: and contribute. Like the expectations are pretty low for him.

132
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: They're saying, listen, we know he was pretty bad in Minnesota.

133
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 4: His effort and his attitude wasn't there. So we just

134
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: hope that he can maybe hit some shots and play

135
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: some D that's all. That's basically saying he's a three

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: and D. That's kind of all we expect from him

137
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: for a guy who's making thirty million a year. So

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: if he gets if he can take advantage of that opportunity,

139
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: and again this is all next season. You can't really

140
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 4: take too much out of what you're going to see

141
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: for the remainder of this season because it's simply not

142
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: going to be the team he's playing on next season.

143
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: But if he can capture that role and play it well,

144
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: then he's going to be effective. But again, if he

145
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 4: maybe he's going to come off the bench at times,

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 4: maybe there are other nights where they need him to

147
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: step up and he just won't. If someone you know,

148
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 4: stare for Clay or someone's out and he just won't.

149
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 4: So he's going to be challenged to raise his game

150
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: at times. But I'm just sort of surprised that everyone's

151
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: been like, listen, don't we're not expecting him to be

152
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: the number one pick that he was six years ago.

153
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: We're just hoping that he can be a decent player

154
00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 4: for us.

155
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, if we're going to give the Warriors and

156
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: Wigans sort of a winner in the weekend, I assume

157
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: we got to show some love to the other team

158
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: involved in that trade at the deadline, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

159
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, that's my winner. The Minnesota Timberwolves snapped

160
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 5: a thirteen game losing street by hitting a franchise record

161
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: twenty six to three pointers. They announced their new additions

162
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 5: over the weekend, and it was just a massive amount

163
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 5: of people like on their podium A zero, a five,

164
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 5: a forty one, a three, a twelve, a sixteen, a fourteen.

165
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: That's a lot of new players. Seven guys, right, Yeah,

166
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: that's crazy. So DiAngelo Russell didn't play for the Wolves

167
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: on Saturday, but still twenty six threes the most team

168
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 5: most threes a team has hit. That is not the

169
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 5: Houston Rockets in NBA history, and they were led by

170
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: Malik Beasley making his first appearance for the Timberwolves. Seven

171
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 5: threes a career high for him twenty six threes. In total,

172
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: everybody who played for the Timberwolves hit a three pointer

173
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 5: except for Keelan Martin. He only played a couple of

174
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: minutes though, but I mean nas Reed was jacket jack

175
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 5: and threes. Is the first win for the Timberwolves since

176
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 5: January ninth, Karl Anthony Towns first since November twenty seventh.

177
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: And you heard even on the broadcast, they're like, the

178
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 5: body language here is great. It was encouraging. You were

179
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 5: hearing on Twitter on the Athletic that basically the Timberwolves

180
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 5: saved their rebuild by winning this one game because after

181
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 5: the loss to the Hawks, Karl Anthony Towns was saying,

182
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: you can see my patience is running thin. When they

183
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: acquired D'Angelo Russell, he said, this gives me some incentive

184
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: to stay. This is the guy in the first year

185
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: of a five year contract, but that means he's thought

186
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: about leaving already. So to go out and actually look

187
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 5: good and destroy the Clippers, it's got to feel good

188
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 5: for the Wolves.

189
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: With Kawhi and Paul George in the lineup too. This

190
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 4: wasn't one of their nights where it was like we're

191
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: just mailing this one in. So yeah, incredible stuff to

192
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: see the Wolves put up one hundred and forty two points.

193
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 4: I mean that had eighty one at half time. Incredible stuff.

194
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: And Twitter was great during that because people are just saying, like,

195
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: what is going on here? This is just an incredible team.

196
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: So you know, it's what's more sustainable Wiggins or three bombing.

197
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: It's a tough one. Cool, it's a tough one. It's

198
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: a toss up. Thirty nine assists and twenty six three.

199
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 5: Twenty six and forty four too. That's a great percentage.

200
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: You know what. You know what might be more sustainable

201
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: between a Wiggins, you know, playing well on some nights

202
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: and not on others, and then Malie Beasley playing with

203
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: effort and like giving a little Like obviously he hit

204
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: a ton of three. He's not gonna get seven threees

205
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: of every game. I get that, but he actually he

206
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: gives them an injection of life, some energy. I mean

207
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: he's playing for a contract too, like a guy wants

208
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: to get paid, and it might be there, it may not,

209
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: but that they they definitely looked they appeared to be

210
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: a different team in just their celebrations alone, like actually

211
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: having some fun. I swear to god. The Minnesota Timberwolves

212
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: social media account it's completely changed too since this trade.

213
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: It's like suddenly become one of the funnier ones in

214
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: the league. And they're leaning obviously into like the whole

215
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: friendship with Kat and Russell. And they're like, I don't

216
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: know if they had an overhaul too, Maybe they made

217
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: a trade at the deadline we didn't know about for

218
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: social Julie Fair working for the Wolves.

219
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: Now.

220
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what squash she came from the Warriors.

221
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 5: Interesting, but I'm telling you I noticed it.

222
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, this is like they're having a lot

223
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: more fun. I don't remember seeing any of them.

224
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

225
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 5: They took a massive early in the season when they

226
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 5: had that great winning streak and they're like, oh, we're

227
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 5: not going to make the playoffs.

228
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: We're going to be terrible.

229
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 5: And then unfortunately, yes they were terrible. But enjoy it

230
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 5: while you're on top, because I mean, one hundred and

231
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 5: forty two against one of the best teams in the league.

232
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: It doesn't happen every single night. So the Knights. It

233
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: does happen when you're led by a guy like Malik Beasley,

234
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 5: who was apparently watching the Hawks game from across the

235
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 5: street in the hotel.

236
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: Just fuming.

237
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, ready to get in the game, came out and

238
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: was basically the best game of his career. That was cool.

239
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 4: And the Wolves, I get to run an old joke

240
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: of mine back, the Wolves are better without D'Angelo Russell.

241
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: Eh eh. Anyway, remember it was earlier the U and

242
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: as soon as the Blazer son camello, they won and

243
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: he didn't play. I said the Blazers are better with

244
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: them that. It was a great joke at the time.

245
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe great.

246
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what happens now when d'angela comes back because h.

247
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: Off the bench?

248
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean what do they do do they did

249
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: they throw him straight in the starting lineup or what?

250
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: I'd just say, yeah, alright, if they're down ten points

251
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: for a few minutes, they won't even think twice about

252
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: whether they'll do that.

253
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: A great photo from the weekend was the Minnesota Timberwolves

254
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: introducing all their new players. Seven guys holding jerseys. It

255
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: looks like a brand new team. Yeah, it's wild, it is.

256
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: It is.

257
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: It was a big overhaul there and so far, so good. Yeah,

258
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: you got to give them the winner of the weekend.

259
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 2: I like that both the Warriors and the Wolves getting

260
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: some love here on Monday Show.

261
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to say Julie Fair unlikely that she's the

262
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: Timberwolves social media account manager because she tweeted on Thursday

263
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: when Wigans got traded, how soon until Dre makes Wiggins cry?

264
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: She's probably not doing it.

265
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 2: Yep, that's right, Lee, who you got?

266
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: Well Bury Beneath the Raptor's fourteen game winning street out

267
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 4: in the East is the Celtics have a nice little

268
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: seven gamer of their own going now. I don't want

269
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: to upset the Bean Town boys, but two of those

270
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: wins that come against the Hawks, one against the Magic

271
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 4: and one against the Warriors. But they have won ten

272
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 4: of their last eleven, so they're playing some pretty nice

273
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 4: basketball right now. And last night's game, or yesterday afternoon's

274
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 4: game against the Thunder was a close one, and Marcus

275
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: Smart came up with just another brilliant, spectator acular defensive

276
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: play right at the end, Yes stole the ball from

277
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: Shae gil just Alexander and sealed the game, sealed the game.

278
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: It didn't win the game, it just sealed it there

279
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: for the thunder. And I mean, Marcus Smart is one

280
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: of those guys. He'll probably never be an All Star,

281
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 4: probably because he simply doesn't have the numbers. Sometimes he

282
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: comes off the bench, sometimes he starts, you know, often

283
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: that's to to do with injuries. But he is really

284
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: the epitome of a team guy, a glue guy. He

285
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 4: I'm sure could find bigger mints and a bigger role

286
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: than another team, but he's so important to what the

287
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: Celtics do. And we've seen that. You know, he's a

288
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 4: bit of a you know, erratic shooter at times, but

289
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: you see when it gets going, he hit those eleven threes.

290
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: He can take those big threes. He's not afraid of them.

291
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 4: He's not afraid of the moment. But look at some

292
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 4: of the other things that he's done this season. Remember

293
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 4: earlier in the year, he was defending poor Zingis really well,

294
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 4: and then yesterday makes the steal against the point guard.

295
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: Like he's so versatile and he does so much for

296
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 4: that team that I really think he is just as

297
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: important to them as Brown and as Tatum and Kemba Walker.

298
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 4: A different role completely different role, but I think he

299
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: gives them so much spunk on the defensive end, but

300
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: also on the offensive end.

301
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 2: I wish she was wearing a cream City.

302
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 4: Highlight.

303
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: Highlight.

304
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 4: Hustle plays, you know, is what he's he's known as,

305
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: and and yesterday is wasn't necessarily a hustle player. It

306
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: was just a good smart play. But he's such a

307
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 4: good player. But I don't think he's ever going to

308
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: really get the recognition he deserves.

309
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: I mean, he gets the recognition all defensive now. I

310
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: mean I think he'll be like a lock on this

311
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: team for the next you know, for the foreseeable future,

312
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: because he made one last year that was his first one.

313
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: He's going to be on these for the here on

314
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: out for the next little bit, I would, I would

315
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: assume at.

316
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: Least, but the All Star and the All Star candidates

317
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: are Brown Tatum and walk around team and he's not

318
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: even really close, like no one even how anywhere near.

319
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that.

320
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 4: But but but again, I just think he's such a

321
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: great player and really does so many guys would not

322
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: be able to accept that role and thrive in it

323
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 4: that he does because everyone wants to start and everyone

324
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 4: wants to get all the shots. He doesn't get either

325
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: of the you know he does sometimes not as I

326
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 4: said before, but for God to actually really prove that

327
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 4: he is the same guy is to come out there

328
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: and play, no matter what's role in, no matter what

329
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: he's minutes, and to still not get those shots that

330
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: he would love.

331
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was an awesome win. I was watching that

332
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: game yesterday, like you said, afternoon, I thought a couple

333
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: other things from that one that crossed my mind. I

334
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: can't wait to see Mark excuse me, Kemba Walker in

335
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: the playoffs on a good team, you know, because he

336
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: didn't have a great game yesterday until he took over

337
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: and hit those huge threes and I'm just like, oh, yeah,

338
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: he's on. Like I know he's been in the playoffs

339
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: before with the Hornets here and there, but I'm like, oh,

340
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: this is gonna be this could be special here. I

341
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: forgot about you know, his Uh, he's got that gene

342
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: for the for the clutch moments that he comes through

343
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: and man, in a playoff series, that could be awesome.

344
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum dominant again, took over in the third quarter.

345
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: Tatum headband Tatum is a thing. This guy has some

346
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: money with that headband on, so he's got to continue

347
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: with that.

348
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: Twenty seven per game. Since being announced to the All

349
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 5: Star team as well, he is really people starting to say, already,

350
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: this is Jason Tatum's team. I had a Kembell Walker.

351
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 5: I mean, the guy looks great. The handles, he's getting

352
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 5: to the line as well. That's a he's looking great.

353
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then Tys came back from his injury, because

354
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, there was a lot of talk with the

355
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: Celtics around the deadline of like, do they need another big,

356
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: do they need a defensive big, a guy at that

357
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: on that back line. Tys I thought, in at least

358
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: this Okac game. When he come back for me, he

359
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: missed a couple he was I thought, awesome at the rim.

360
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: He is a game changer defensively for them. He's no joke.

361
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: He's not a push around. He obviously can step out

362
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: a little bit. He hit one three yesterday, so he

363
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: went for four. If not great for him, but this

364
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: this team, I mean, if you don't have them, I

365
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: think on the short list of an Eastern Conference championship contender,

366
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: you got to have them in there now. If all healthy,

367
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: now Jalen Brown tweaked another ankle. He said, like he

368
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: didn't even know which ankle the limp on because now

369
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: he's got both buggered up. So that's not good because

370
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: we know how important he is to their success as well.

371
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm with you Celtics. You're right. The seven

372
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: game win streak, some quality wins, you know, over the

373
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: heat and Philly and OKC on the road there yesterday.

374
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: So that's that's an obvious winner of the weekend. That's

375
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: a good one. I'm gonna go with Canada for a

376
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: winner of the weekend. Let's get the anthem going here, JD. Canada. Yes,

377
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: Canada basketball specifically, of course, although Canada is always really

378
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: a winner of the weekend. A couple of reasons. Kitchener's

379
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: finest from the five to one nine. Jamal Murray awesome

380
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: in Saturday's win over the Suns, thirty six points on

381
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: fourteen to seventeen shooting, had that little dribble handoff action

382
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: going with Jokic either scoring or finding him inside, had

383
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: the three drop in. He's averaging twenty nine points per

384
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: game since returning from injury, so I believe that's three

385
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: games now he's feeling it. Canada women's national team taking

386
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: care of business in Belgium and the ladies are headed

387
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty Olympics again, third straight appearance for them.

388
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: This is good, obviously, you want to see the women

389
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: do it again and then hopefully the men can follow

390
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: it up in their qualifying tournament in the summer. And

391
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: this team could medal. The Canadian women's national team, they

392
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: really could. That's their goal because they finished like eighth

393
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: back in two twelve, seventh in twenty sixteen in Brazil.

394
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: But they're considered one of the best teams in the

395
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: world and I think they'd be disappointed if they don't

396
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: meddle at the Olympics. Not that that will be easy,

397
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 2: but that's going to be their goal. So congrats to them.

398
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 2: The Raptors who said at lee Hm franchise record winning

399
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: street fourteen straight on, believe this is wild and some

400
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 2: crazy wins over the weekend, I mean back to back

401
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: wins versus the Pacers on the Friday night and then

402
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: the Nets on the Saturday, and look, all of them

403
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: are special because they don't have a full squad, but

404
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: that one on Saturday without Lowry, without Gasol, without norm still,

405
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: Terrence Davis getting his first home start, twenty points from him.

406
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: Matt Thomas played a career high twenty two minutes. He

407
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: shot six of nine, three for four from deep. I

408
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: know some of you out there going, who the hell

409
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: is Matt Thomas. Yeah, that's what the Raptors are doing.

410
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: There's plug and play any of these guys, and they're

411
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: delivering Toronto's thirty nine and fourteen after fifty three games now,

412
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 2: and this is the best start in franchise history, and

413
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: it's it's wild to watch. I mean, I know there

414
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: are a lot of guys in the race at the

415
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: at the table in the conversation for Coach of the Year,

416
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: but I think this, I think Nick Nurse at this

417
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: point is sort of running away with it because of

418
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: like this, the injuries, but the continuing winning streak. It's

419
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: it's pretty amazing. And he's obviously going to be the

420
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: head coach of the All Star Game there too. And

421
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: then just finally for Canada to piggyback off the Raptors

422
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: winning streak. My friends, ah man, your friends winter the

423
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 2: weekend and here's why, because no, Homer, No, that's a

Speaker 2: And then they're like, you know what make this pizza better?

441
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,720

00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: pumped because he on jin Ryu. Yeah, the big left

464
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: team making his debut warming up in spring training. Spring

465
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: training has begun. What pitchers and catchers have reboarded? What

466
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: did you know that Lee? Was it on the schedule?

467
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: I didn't say that. I was too busy watching the

468
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 4: Allan Borda metal. The cricketer of the Year in Australia

469
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: was Canada. Nice pivot, David Warner picking up cricket Alan

470
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 4: Bora medal.

471
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm alan board of this conversation already.

472
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna I thought you were gonna

473
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: bring up was it not a Canadian tennis player that

474
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: was caught chugging maple syrup on the on the sides?

475
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 4: Why didn't that the Australian Open.

476
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know what's going on right now.

477
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 4: No, that was a couple of weeks ago. Well was

478
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: it it ended last week?

479
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I don't know who I'm thinking of. Then

480
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: I thought he was a Canadian all right. Well, any

481
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: other winners from the NBA weekend.

482
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: I think we should squeeze in. Boyan Bogdanovic is huge

483
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: game winner on Sunday against the Rockets was a beauty.

484
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: And the Rockets tend to own the Utah Jazz. We've

485
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 3: talked about it before. Yeah, it's just a thing that happens.

486
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 3: They just can't seem to find a way. Last year

487
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: in the playoffs they got beat by the Jazz and

488
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: then they got beat by them a couple of weeks ago.

489
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: I should say the Jazz got beat by the Rocks

490
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, and it felt a little

491
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 3: different on Sunday. It should feel different because Boyann bogdanovicch

492
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: wasn't there for the playoffs last year. He's a shot

493
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: maker and this is a matchup. If the playoffs started today,

494
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: we would see four and five Jazz versus Rockets. Oh yeah,

495
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 3: and it should be fun. And the Jazz need needed

496
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: a shot maker to come in there. And Mike Conley

497
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: obviously a great acquisition, but they're fine with him being

498
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 3: off the bench. And Bogdanovich is sort of one of

499
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: those under herald unherlded dudes that nobody really thinks of.

500
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: But he can hit big shots. And he was double

501
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: teamed on both sides of his body, left and right.

502
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: I thought he got twice.

503
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was touched for sure, but they didn't call

504
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: it and they should have called. It was the last

505
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: second shot and he buried it. It was beautiful and that.

506
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 2: Was off of a beautiful play by Westbrook kicking it

507
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: out to Talker in the corner.

508
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 5: P J.

509
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: Tucker's open in the corner. This is the corner he

510
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 2: feels like, and that was a great play from Russell,

511
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: an awesome game. He had the huge dunk too, sort

512
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: of a round.

513
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 4: Go bear, and on that play he had the chance

514
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: to shoot the bomb for that but instead driving so well,

515
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 4: like he's changing, he's changing before I was Russell Westbrook.

516
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 2: That was a really go go watch the final five

517
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: minutes of that game on yesterday, Yesterday's game Jazz Rocket.

518
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: It was awesome back and forth, the play.

519
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: Making the Rockets broadcasters dying to call that game a

520
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 3: game winner, and the rock of the Westbrook pass out

521
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: to PJ. Tucker and then kind of whispered the way exactly,

522
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: and then.

523
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 5: It looked like that was going to happen to the

524
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 5: Jazz again, like they were gonna get out math because

525
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 5: they were doing a pretty good job of getting some

526
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 5: buckets the offensive end. But then every time coming back down,

527
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 5: I was like, Covington hit a big three and then PJ.

528
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 5: Tucker hit the big three. You're like, oh, this is

529
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 5: exactly why the Rockets did this. They got to get

530
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 5: the math on their side, getting the extra points from

531
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 5: time to time. Yeah, but just one point two seconds remaining,

532
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 5: that's enough for boy boy.

533
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 4: They also I think that play was designed for Donovan

534
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 4: Mitchell and the Rockets defended him well because the second

535
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: defender came out and then Bogie came out. Maybe it

536
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: was that was like a you know, diversion play, but

537
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 4: it worked well. I will say about Boggie. He didn't

538
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 4: have a great game yesterday, but he's got the most

539
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: easy looking shot. I think he just looks so comfortable

540
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: to fix it. Yeah, like he grabs it and just

541
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: shoots as if like he's not playing a game.

542
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: He's a big dude. Yeah, I mean you sort of

543
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: forget how big and is he still averaging like twenty

544
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: points for a game like you? I know, he was

545
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: around twenty one at one point earlier in the season.

546
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: He's at twenty one. Yeah, twenty one again.

547
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: Incredible. That's really really good. A couple other mini winners

548
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: of the weekend. John Morant recorded his first career triple

549
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 2: double twenty seven points, ten boards, tennsis on Sunday. He

550
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: dominated the fourth quarter. He just took over. It's awesome

551
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: to watch. He's fourth in the league in fourth are scoring,

552
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: averaging seven point six points per game on fifty six

553
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: percent shooting. Only trails like Harden Trey Young, who had

554
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: a monster game obviously in double overtime win against Nicks

555
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: and Yannis. This guy's a rookie point guard that's special.

556
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: And the Grizzlies are twenty one and ten since early December,

557
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: you know they started slow, just rolling here Furkhan cork

558
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: mass Furkann two wins over the weekend. He averaged thirty

559
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: two point five points per game. He shot seventy three

560
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: point five percent from the floor and sixty five percent

561
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: from distance. He hit thirteen threes in two games this weekend,

562
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: plus fifteen and a win over the Grizzlies on Friday,

563
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: and a plus fourteen and a win over the Bulls

564
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

565
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 5: Time for the furculator A min's time for the ferculator man.

566
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 5: They need somebody that can hit threes, and so anytime

567
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 5: he's I feel like anytime Furkhan is shooting well from outside,

568
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 5: the Sixers are gonna win because they just need somebody

569
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 5: who can do something from the perimeter, and he has

570
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 5: been their most reliable just shooter. I would say, I mean,

571
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 5: you know, Tobias Harris is pouring in the points, but

572
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 5: Furkan has just catch it, shoot it, and it's gone.

573
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 5: So when when he's on fire, they're tough to beat.

574
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: One more Marvin Williams on Saturday, Marvin Williams buyout who

575
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 2: was completed with the Hornets. He was waved, So why

576
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: would that be a winner of the weekend? Guy got waved? Well,

577
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: he clears waivers today and he's reportedly signing with the

578
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: forty four and seven Bucks. Not bad upgrade, Yeah, not

579
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: bad at all. And he's still you know, he's obviously

580
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 2: played a long time in this league, but can defend

581
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: sort of multiple positions, and his career thirty six point

582
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: two percent three point shooters, so that should work in

583
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: the Bucks system. You know. Will he get a ton

584
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: of minutes? I don't think so. But the guy's a

585
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: locker room guy. Everybody loves him. I do wonder does

586
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: he like wrestling? I'm curious, you know, interesting? Yeah, Like

587
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: will he be a part of the Bucks sort of

588
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 2: pregame wrestle fest that they got, the WrestleMania that they

589
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: do before every game? Where was he? You know? Is

590
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: he just like I don't know, I'm not into this.

591
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 3: If he is, he could be the the Kamala or

592
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 3: the Yokazuna of the group. Because he is part of

593
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 3: the big boost team, right, he can drop he can

594
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: drop that butt on somebody. It is. It's great for

595
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: him and it's great for the It seems like they're

596
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: gathering these guys that are at the end, sort of

597
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: at the end of their careers that have never won

598
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: a ring, like Kyle Korver, Marvin Williams. I know, no,

599
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 3: no one really considers Marvin Williams the guy who's been

600
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: around a long time. But he's been around.

601
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was like a fifteen year guy.

602
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifteen years. You know, I tweeted earlier this season.

603
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: I saw it like he's gonna be thirty five soon.

604
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna pay at least forty and it

605
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: just sort of be unheralded because he can hit threes. Uh.

606
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 3: You know they got George Hill on this team.

607
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: There's Matthews West.

608
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: The West Yeah, and likely releasing Dragon Bender.

609
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

610
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: And I didn't even know it was a short career.

611
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: He was at the end of their bench.

612
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: I had forgotten he was on their rush.

613
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 3: I wonder if he makes another team. This is year

614
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: four for him, fourth pick in twenty sixteen. Hopefully he

615
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: gets back, but that's that's rough.

616
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: Let's get two losers of the weekend. Trey one. You

617
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: get started here.

618
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 5: Well, great win for the Jazz last night, not a

619
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 5: great win earlier in the weekend.

620
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: Loser.

621
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 5: Biggest loser of the weekend goes to the referees in

622
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 5: the Blazers Jazz game, missing an egregious goal down to

623
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 5: Damian Lillard drives to the whole, gets bodied a little

624
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: bit by Royce O'Neil. I'm fine with it. It's an end

625
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: of the game. You're not calling that ball goes off

626
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 5: the glass. It's almost a foot from the glass before

627
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert smacks it away. Blazers do not get the

628
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 5: offensive goaltending call, which means that therefore cannot be reviewed.

629
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 5: Lillard goes crazy. The Blazers were saying that on the court,

630
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 5: the refs were saying it wasn't even close.

631
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think they were really upset by that.

632
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: Ye just like the oh, you guys are way wrong.

633
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: It's not even closer, Like, what the hell are you

634
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 2: talking about it?

635
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 5: And then it continued afterwards, the referees were asked should

636
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 5: it have been a goaltend? They're like, we didn't call it.

637
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: So we couldn't review it. Then when we saw it,

638
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 5: it was a goaltend, to which Damian Lillard responds on Twitter,

639
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 5: we don't want to hear this punk ash, which is great,

640
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 5: and people are come on, man, you're gonna get fined.

641
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 5: He says, I got plenty of money. The guy's loaded.

642
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 5: Don't worry about a little fine from the NBA. But

643
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 5: as it turns out, when the NBA messes up the call,

644
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 5: you're allowed to criticized because Damian Lillard will not be fine.

645
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 5: There was also some beef between Donovan Mitchell and Gary

646
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 5: Trent from this game. This was a wild game between

647
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 5: the Blazers and the Jazz, and you know, shout out

648
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: to the Blazers who then went on to win on

649
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 5: Sunday against the Heat. That's pretty impressive to pull that

650
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 5: win off after losing a tragic one. That is really

651
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 5: going to matter in the playoff race. A loss like

652
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 5: that could put them out of the playoffs easily.

653
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what Lillard was saying. He's like, this could matter.

654
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: We're in a playoff race. We need these wins and

655
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: that should be a tight game.

656
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should have been. I don't understand where the

657
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: referees were looking. When there's three of them at that

658
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: point of the game, how not one of them could

659
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 4: blow that? That wasn't you know, that wasn't close.

660
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: It's not close, No, it's really you hear them.

661
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: The call, Ryan Ruko, he even says it immediately, and

662
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 4: he's adamant, like before they even see a replay. That

663
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: was a goaltend. That was a so you know, everyone

664
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: could see it and the referees not to do it.

665
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 4: But of course the bigger problem here is now what

666
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: does the NBA do about the replay system? Right, because

667
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 4: that's clearly a missed call, but they can't go and

668
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 4: review it because it wasn't called on the in the moment.

669
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 4: But you know what often happens is say someone will

670
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: shoot a three pointer and they might call it a

671
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 4: three pointer, but then they can go back and review

672
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 4: it at the next dead ball and then change it

673
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: or correct it. So they do have a system where

674
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: you can sort of go back and change things in

675
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: this case though they can't do that.

676
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: So well, we got an email from Steven l or

677
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: Stephanel excuse me, from Toronto, and this is going to

678
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: what you're talking about here, Lee. He says hello, Dinky's.

679
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: Various elite soccer leagues, including the English Premier League and

680
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: Major League Soccer, recently implemented the Video Assistant referee everybody

681
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: knows this otherwise referred to as var to provide real

682
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: time assistance with the officiating of a match. By using

683
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: various camera angles in the stadium, League appointed personnel in

684
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: a remote booth can review game footage and determine whether

685
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: a decision or nondecision should be reconsidered for further review

686
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: by the head referee, who still makes the ultimate decision.

687
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: Do you guys think a system like this has a

688
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: place in today's NBA to avoid or reduce a number

689
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: of controversial decisions or blown calls made by NBA officials,

690
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 2: especially in those critical moments. This is exactly what you

691
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: know he's talking about here with this this incident between

692
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 2: the Jazz and the Blazers. Like it's like, if we

693
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: have instant if we have instant replay, why don't we

694
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: use it a little more. Why don't we just use

695
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: it where it makes more common sense? Yeah, In this

696
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: type of instance is a perfect example of like someone

697
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: in a booth or somewhere in soccaka saying well, wha, wha,

698
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: who guys, you got to either take a look at this,

699
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: like take a look at it right there on the

700
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: floor and then overturn the call or whatever. I mean

701
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: that's or we just get rid of replay altogether because

702
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: if it's not doing its job, then who cares?

703
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: But that's again, what is its job? Is it only

704
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 4: on those calls that get made, which is what it

705
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 4: is right now, or do you want to then blow

706
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 4: it up and say, okay, if there's if there is

707
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: any point where this var person is watching and they

708
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 4: alert the referees you have to go back and check it.

709
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: Then you could be up for it all game, because

710
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 4: that happens in soccer, like if there's a penalty call,

711
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 4: it's like they go and they check it and then

712
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 4: they decide whether or not it's a penalty.

713
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: So the question is, well, I would not want it

714
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: all game, but I would be fine, you know whatever

715
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: it is final two minutes of a game or something

716
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 2: like that where it's important, right.

717
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, But so say that Rudy Gobert golden happened in

718
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: the first minute of the game and it doesn't get called,

719
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 4: then then what does that there's that less of a

720
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: call because it's at the start of the game versus

721
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 4: at the end of the game.

722
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: But there's incorrect calls.

723
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 4: I know, I know this is going to be there.

724
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: This is going to be the debate is when do

725
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 4: you use it and when don't you use it? And

726
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 4: do you accept bad calls or missed calls if it's

727
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: if it's early in the game. Because when when the

728
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: Houston Rockets had that James Harden dunk that wasn't allowed,

729
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 4: the NBA said, you had plenty of time to make

730
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: up the game and win that game. Still, in this instance,

731
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: the Rockets, I mean the Blazers still got a shot

732
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 4: off to could have tied the Game's true.

733
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, not a new PG Tucker yet.

734
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 4: So you know, let's say that goes in and they're

735
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 4: going to win. There, it's less of a controversy because

736
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: they got out of it, but they didn't win, so

737
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: they're upset. And again we know how tight their playoff

738
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: race is for the Blazers. And even if it didn't

739
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: look even if they go that basket count, what is

740
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: if the Jazz go and hit the game went at

741
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 4: the other end. The so many what ifs out of

742
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 4: this scenario. I don't know what the right answer is.

743
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: And I would you want to get a blatant call

744
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: a in a close game?

745
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: Correct that one for Sial? Yeah, for Sual. And you

746
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: could even see Rudy gober knew that he got away

747
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 4: with it.

748
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: It's played.

749
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: Reactions can tell you the whole story, Yeah, they can sometimes.

750
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

751
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 3: I thought the email was kind of important to include

752
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: because I saw it. I saw that email. Initially I

753
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 3: thought the video assistant referee, like I just initially thought

754
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: it was something like they implement on the goal line

755
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 3: in soccer where they have they just have cameras, frankly

756
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: is what they have. But I thought it was a

757
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: sensor system that they had. I think a sensor system

758
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 3: would be important. Off a backboard, Let's say the ball

759
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: touches the backboard. Let's say something hits the backboard that

760
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: triggers something where it's frankly, it's reviewable, and that's it

761
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: because that's the goaltendings are. Let's take out the the

762
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: human error aspect. I think that's the important part here

763
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: because goaltending in this situation, Honestly, I'm not trying a

764
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: gaslight situation. I woke up Saturday morning. I saw it

765
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: and live, I didn't even I couldn't tell. I knew

766
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: that was the case, but I knew that goaltend it

767
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: did happen, But watching it live, it was it looked

768
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 3: like it looked so bad that it looked like Damian

769
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: Lillard kind of threw it at the rim, like in

770
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: a weird way, like he didn't put it off the

771
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: glass because it looked like it was. It was so

772
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: blatant and where the referees are standing, it's just it's

773
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: not ideal. It's never ideal. I mean, yes, it was

774
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: a goaltend, but I just think the best video replay

775
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: implementations are in tennis, where it's just hey, the ball

776
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: hits the line and it's a computer, and if the

777
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: ball hits the backboard, I think there should be a

778
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: sensor and figure that out in some way, because that's

779
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: what you have to review. I mean, it's just well.

780
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: Or more or the official just call everything a goaltend

781
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: in a close game. Well that's the thing, right, yeah,

782
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: because then you're at least covering your ass and then

783
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: you can go review it. That. The whole point is

784
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: it was nothing was called, so then it's like well,

785
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: we can't review because nothing was called. But that's that's

786
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 2: a dumb system. That to me is a dumb system. Yeah,

787
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: it's like, just because you incorrectly didn't call anything, we

788
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: can't review something that's blatantly wrong. I mean that's again,

789
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 2: that's the the rest of their hands are tied here

790
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: because those are the rules we're talking about. Yeah, completely

791
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 2: changing the rules. Yeah, I don't know.

792
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: I lend tend to think we got to have lesson rules,

793
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 5: you know, I want less reasons to have replay. But

794
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 5: the things that make the most sense are like somebody's

795
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 5: foot stepped out of the bounce. You can tell that easily.

796
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 5: You can tell the ball hit the backboard easily. We

797
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 5: got to get the computers in here, is what I'm saying,

798
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 5: and leave the judgment calls to the people making judgment.

799
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 5: A ball hitting the glass before somebody blocks, it's not

800
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 5: a judgment call. That's an easy one that shouldn't be botched.

801
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 5: So we need robots, is what it comes down to.

802
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe we'll get to that. All right, what

803
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 2: else for loser of the weekend? What do you got?

804
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: I'm going with the Indiana prices kind of the flip

805
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 4: of what the Bust and Celtics doing right now. The

806
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: Paces have lost five in a row and they lost

807
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: two on the weekend. Now, one was a great game

808
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 4: to the Raptors. Fair enough, they can lose that one.

809
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 4: But then they followed that up with another home loss

810
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 4: to the shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans. No Ingram knows Ion

811
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 4: Williamson and the Paces led this one with by four points.

812
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 4: With about six weeks ago, there's still plenty of time there,

813
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 4: but they needed a win and this was one I

814
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 4: think that they could have. They should have, you know,

815
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 4: been able to recover from the tough loss against the

816
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: Raptors and go out and get this one. Oh the

817
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 4: Deep I didn't play. He was out for a back

818
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 4: to back and they are only one on for since

819
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 4: he return. Obviously I'm not blaming him, but it takes time.

820
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: Maybe they're better with us.

821
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 6: They've lost the keep losing though, so but they It's funny,

822
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: you know, with the Paces, because throughout the season, at

823
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 6: times they just look so resilient and so tough, and

824
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 6: in crunch time they're very very good.

825
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 4: But they haven't been lately. They're sort of struggling a

826
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: little bit. So you know, when you when you lose

827
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 4: a tough one like they did to the Raptors, you

828
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 4: sort of want to see how the team bounces back,

829
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 4: and they get a great opportunity the next night against

830
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 4: a team that they they really should have ben Perhaps

831
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 4: even the overlook the Pelicans a little because Zion and Brandon,

832
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 4: they're two high scorers, weren't playing, but still couldn't close

833
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 4: out true Holiday was fantastic again, hitting some big free

834
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: throws for the for the Pels who are playing well.

835
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 4: But the Pacers, man, they are. They're one of those

836
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 4: teams that you look at sometimes you think they could

837
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 4: they could do some damage in the playoffs, and other

838
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: times you think they might just be like they were

839
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 4: last season, you know, make the playoffs. But then they

840
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 4: get swept by the Celtics. It's it's really tough to

841
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 4: fick them out. But obviously with all the depot, you know,

842
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 4: he gets a pass for the remainder this season, it's

843
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 4: very very hard to come back off a significant injury

844
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 4: halfway through a season when the team's been playing well

845
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 4: and be effective. But overall, I just think the you know,

846
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: the Pacers are just just struggling a little bit, right

847
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 4: now they need the All Star break. Yeah, that's that's

848
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: one of those teams near the Yeah, they just they

849
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 4: maybe look towards that, just to refresh and get ready

850
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 4: for the second half of the season.

851
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

852
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 2: If the playoffs did start today, it would be Celtics

853
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: Piecers in a three six matchup. You'd have the heat

854
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: seventy six ers, wraps, nets, and then of course the

855
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 2: Bucks Magic. Yeah wouldn't not being easy. Serious, I don't

856
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: think a lot of people will be picking the Piecers

857
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: to get by the Celtics. You know, as of right now.

858
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: A lot of things can change till we get to April.

859
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: But all right, Indiana, Yeah, we expect that. I guess

860
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: that Victor Olideple doesn't look like Victor Oladipot, But I

861
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 3: was dumb, and I initially just I thought, well, they're

862
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 3: playing so well without their best player. He comes in

863
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 3: and adds that that that the ability to just get

864
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: your own shot at any time, like Malcolm Browden, Demanto Sabonis.

865
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 3: They don't have the athletic ability that Victor Olidipo does

866
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: as a perimeter player. But he just number one. He

867
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: doesn't look all that spry and springy and number two.

868
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 3: They're just having a bit of a difficulty just feeling

869
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: him out as well, and so it goes both ways.

870
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: So I don't I don't know. Maybe these two months

871
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 3: will be enough for them to be a really great

872
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 3: threat in the playoffs, but they've dropped a sixth and

873
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: there's some good teams at the top of the Eastern Conference. Yeah,

874
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't bode well as you said.

875
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: You want, you want the first or second seed in

876
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. You're gonna have a cakewalk in the

877
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: first round. But yeah, then then from there on out, Yeah,

878
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna be having a pretty good opponent.

879
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think anyone takes the Pacers' that's I

880
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 3: agree with that. Yeah, I'll jump in here. The Lakers,

881
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 3: they need another guy off the bench to make plays.

882
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 3: We've talked about that. Ideally, they need another little ball handler,

883
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 3: not to take away Alex Carusso's minutes because Laker Nation

884
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 3: will get very angry, but to probably play alongside Alex Caruso.

885
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 3: And they couldn't get anything done at the trade deadline.

886
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: Then Darren Colson, who retired before the season, comes and

887
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 3: hangs out at a Laker game with Janie. Yeah, he

888
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 3: gets a standing ovation.

889
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: Right, the crow is going nuts. We're like, all right,

890
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: We're gett Darren Colson hated it.

891
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 3: Hated it.

892
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 5: Doesn't like that kind of applause. I want to play

893
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 5: it cool.

894
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: And he I guess he did hate it because he's

895
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 3: he's told the Lakers not coming out of retirement. It's

896
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: just not the right time this weekend. And so on

897
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 3: a free tickets. I appreciate that front row tickets. And

898
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 3: he just said, I'm just watching a basketball game. After

899
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: the game, I'm just here to watch the game, and

900
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 3: he walked out of the arena and then he called

901
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 3: him a couple days later said I'm not going back.

902
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 3: And so that's thanks for them, because it does as

903
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: I said, Trade deadline swinging a miss, Darren Carson swinging

904
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: a miss. But now two strikes. They're looking for Dion.

905
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: Waders please make Jmith.

906
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Grizzlies. Grizzlies are releasing Dion Waiters and they

907
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 3: have been as we talked about last week, they've been

908
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: rumored to get to have their sights on j R.

909
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: Smith because Jerr Smith's working out for them.

910
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 5: Soon's you want who do you want? Dion Waiters or

911
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 5: j R. Smith both have to Lebron experience.

912
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: I want.

913
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 4: I want because he was basically kicked out of the team.

914
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 4: He gets his full payoff from the heat and he

915
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 4: might end up with a championship ring this season. That

916
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 4: would just be perfect. And you know there'd be a

917
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 4: game where he'd be on the court late in the

918
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: game and he'd be give me.

919
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: The give me the ball. I like. I think it

920
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: was ghost Face Siller who said to decide who gets

921
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 2: that final Lakers spot between j R. And Dean, they

922
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 2: should have to play like a game of one on

923
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 2: one full court to like thirty one. First off, you

924
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 2: see who's in condition? Yeah, like who's uh, who's in

925
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 2: good shape? And have them gun away against each other.

926
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: I love that. I do you put that? Yeah? Sell that.

927
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: Put it on pay per view. Hell yeah, I'm paying

928
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: five ninety weekend.

929
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 4: Put it on the Perfect Yeah.

930
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: I watched the hell out of that. Yeah. So Lakers

931
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: with that news, like you said from Collison, he says, no, no,

932
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 2: not this year. Does that mean maybe next year? I

933
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 2: guess think.

934
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: Maybe he's thirty two now, I guess.

935
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: He's got all the time in the world. Yeah, he's

936
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 2: he's chill.

937
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would. I would bet j R. Smith just

938
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 3: because Lebron's played with him in the playoffs before. And

939
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, you don't just don't think Lebron's taking

940
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: a risk.

941
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: Jay must be thirty five, thirty six.

942
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 3: Not young. He's oh thirty four four, came out as

943
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 3: a high schooler.

944
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

945
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: How much money do you think Darren Collison has made

946
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 2: in his career million? Forty four you're very close forty

947
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: three point three million according to Basketball Reference. Yes, he's

948
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: you know, he's doing fine. That's my place. Yeah he's

949
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: doing fine. But uh yeah, okay, so he says no,

950
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: not coming back this year. That's a bit of a

951
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: blow to the Lakers. I would like to give a

952
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: loser the weekend to Isaiah Thomas, who was waved now.

953
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: As expected, he was waived by the Clippers. He was

954
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: traded to LA part of the three team deal at

955
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 2: the deadline. Clippers didn't really need his services. They don't

956
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: really need a point guard. They got Patrick Beverley obviously,

957
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: Lou Williams is their point guard. Run a lot of

958
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: their stuff through their dominant wing guys in Kawhi and

959
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 2: Paul George as it is, but man it I give

960
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: him loser the weekend, because you know, I saw the

961
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: tweets going around, and it's like, when you really wrap

962
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: your head around the fall off for this guy in

963
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, it's pretty astonishing. He played

964
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: forty games for the Wizards this year. He played all right.

965
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: I mean really, I know no one was playing defense

966
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,919
Speaker 2: on the Wizards, but he averaged twelve point two points

967
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 2: per game, three point seven assists in twenty three minutes

968
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 2: per game. Not bad, But go back to April of

969
00:41:54,400 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, Isaiah Thomas finished fifth in MVP voting. Guy's

970
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: an all NBA guard nearly thirty points per game. And

971
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: then here's what happened. In May twenty seventeen, He's ruled

972
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: out with the hip injury. Obviously, the death of his

973
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: sister in there as well, and then things just spiraled

974
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: out of control. In August, He's traded to the Caves

975
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: as part of the Kyrie Irving deal. Plays like two

976
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: months with Cleveland that did not go well. He got

977
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 2: into it with Kevin Love. There was the whole Lebron's

978
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: game winner, refusing to celebrate with it. Remember that instead,

979
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: it's all pumped to see Jeddi osmon So. In February

980
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, it is traded to the Lakers. In March

981
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: of twenty eighteen, he undergoes hip surgery, so okay, more

982
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: surgery there on the hip. In July twenty eighteen, you

983
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: know he's not staying with the Lakers. He signs a

984
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 2: one year deal with the Nuggets for the VETS minimum.

985
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: In July twenty nineteen, he signs another one year deal

986
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 2: to play for the Wizards, and then last week he's

987
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: traded to the Clippers and waved. That is, in the

988
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 2: span of like three years, he is an MVP candidate

989
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 2: on one team and then has bounced around and has

990
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 2: just signing on for vets minimum and now getting waved,

991
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: like throwing it. He's included in a trade just to

992
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: make it happen, and then he's waved. And I don't know,

993
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 2: could the Lakers take a look at Ias a little

994
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: taste that other little pointer they want playmaker? I don't know,

995
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: But that's wild. That's it's just unreal. Yeah, that's very

996
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: very rare. I try and find me a guy that

997
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: was a top five m VP that fell off that

998
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: that quickly. Some to do with injuries of course, and

999
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: and sometimes sort of fit and whatever. It's crazy. And

1000
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 2: now there's some talk I see Celtics fan saying bring

1001
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 2: them back, put him on the roster. Why not? So

1002
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: maybe it's a possibility. He says, he sort of squashed

1003
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 2: his beef there with with Danny and all that. Yeah,

1004
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: I think he would consider it. I'm sure he would

1005
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 2: at this point playing on a good team.

1006
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: Rough.

1007
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, he seems to sort of beef though with his

1008
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 4: teammates because it happened as well in Los Angeles when

1009
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 4: he went there. Something that didn't lock him there. Him

1010
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 4: and Boogie didn't really get along in sack Down way back.

1011
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: In the day.

1012
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 4: Phoenix Phoenix as well. He wasn't loved in Phoenix. They

1013
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 4: got rid of him just after they signed him. So sure, sure,

1014
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 4: I mean maybe like doesn't seem like a like it

1015
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 4: would say.

1016
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 2: Over the last couple of years, you haven't heard anything.

1017
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 4: Right, but he hasn't played. I mean, well, you know he.

1018
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 2: Was playing some with the Nuggets and the and the

1019
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 2: I mean talking.

1020
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 4: About him, yeah, but he was deep on the bench

1021
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 4: there in Denver. And Denver was a situation I thought

1022
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 4: was good for him because Mike Malone was the coach

1023
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 4: and he was his first coach in Sacramento or his

1024
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 4: first but one of his coaches that he that he

1025
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 4: actually did well for. So Yeah, tough, tough situation for him.

1026
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. The biggest mistake is that for him is that

1027
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: he probably tried to play through injury. Yeah, unfortunately it really.

1028
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 2: Stunk the first go around.

1029
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, with US, I guess Jokim Noa is a bit

1030
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 3: of a Yeah, comparable fell off like twenty fourteen Defensive

1031
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 3: Play of the Year, fourth in MVP voting and then

1032
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 3: kind of just fell off the map a couple of

1033
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 3: years of Chicago. But it's fair done injuries as well.

1034
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,919
Speaker 2: Those are our winners and losers. In the NBA weekend,

1035
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 2: Let's hear from you guys. Tweet at US at no

00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: I was watching the Oscars obviously, and they did have

1040
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: a nice Kobe Bryant was included in the in memoriam,

1041
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: which was great, and Spike Lee was wearing a suit

1042

Speaker 1: dedicated to Kobe with the number twenty four. And it

1043

1048
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, neither did I actually, yeah, but I saw. I

1049
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: saw that he was trending. I was like, uh oh, so, yeah,

1050
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: he didn't make it. That's it.

1051
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 3: And we mentioned him just exactly.

1052
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: That's why it was. That's why it was. It was

1053
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: fresh in the mind, you know.

1054
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:11,680

Speaker 2: I saw a good chunk of it.

1060
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: It was odd. Yeah, I sat through the whole thing.

1061

1138
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,640

1139
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,680

1144
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,879

1145

1146
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: was all over. When my wife walked out of the room,

1147
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: she was so really.

1153
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: really fascinating.

1154
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: They actually made a joke of it. Yeah, they did

1155
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: a guy in the balcony. He was like, I'm going

1156
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: to introduce somebody. Who's going to introduce somebody? Who's going

1157
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: to introduce somebody. It was like, yeah, that's right, that's

1158
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: why this show is three and a half hours long. Yeah,

1159
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: and everybody hates it, and you know it's a bad

1160
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: show when Eminem comes up and it falls completely.

1161
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 4: Flat, like something was wrong with the audio on that.

1162
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 3: Yes, there was that, and maybe because the audio, like

1163
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 3: he was singing a fifteen year old song.

1164
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,280
Speaker 2: What was the reason for all that? It is because

1165
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: he did no no, why was he performing?

1166
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: It was like a tribute to music in the movie.

1167
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 2: Oh my God.

1168
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 5: And we were watching them.

1169
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 2: I think I saw somebody also say did he not

1170
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 2: accept a Grammy or excuse me an oscar like back

1171

1174
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah that's it.

1175
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: But he's selling an album now, so he's like, oh hi, Eminem.

1176
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: That was weird.

1177
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: It was weird and then it just like shots of

1178
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: the crowd and just oh it almost okay, fine, but

1179
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: it's just not the right room for that. I don't know.

1180
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: Like the performance was fine, and half of it was

1181
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: censored out anyways, Like it just kept cutting out.

1182
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 2: I will say Chris Rock has not aged at all.

1183
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 2: You know how old Chris Rock is. He's in his

1184
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 2: forty fifty five, he's fifty five. Tell me he doesn't

1185
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 2: look identical to how he looked twenty years ago. I mean,

1186
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 2: we Nora and were going crazy. We're like, no way,

1187
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 2: how does he look with the exact same He looks identical.

1188
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:47,760
Speaker 2: It's impressive.

1189
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't help that he's standing next to Steve Martin's

1190
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: ancient Yeah, that's true. No offense, Steve.

Speaker 2: Rockets were favored by two and a half on the road,

1204
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: obviously going with the super small ball the pocket Rockets there,

1205
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,200
