43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,120

00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,280

45
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: Got it?

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 5: One giant wing, just one big turkey wings in there? Yeah,

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 5: you know, it's like you've been eating turkey for an

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: entire weekend. You see that big wing, and you're like,

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know if I want to

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 5: go through the savagery of tearing this thing apart ripping

51
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: the flesh from the boat, but I probably will tonight.

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I don't really want to go after

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: those wings. I'll use my hands for a pie, but

54
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: not for it, because those wings look good. But it

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: looks it seems like a little too much work.

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: But you also don't want to throw it out, is

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: that what you're saying?

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: Like you're probably over They made it. I know how

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: much work she put into it. It looks it's like glistening. Yeah,

60
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: it's it's picturesque, so it's kind of hard to take it,

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: look at it and just toss it. Yeah, you're right.

62
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: I mean I would rather go find an animal to feed.

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: It out, like deer in the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,760

Speaker 2: dot Com. Okay, winners and losers of the NBA weekend

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: here on Monday. But first, we had a couple wedgies

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: Friday night weggies, two of them happening there on Friday night.

89
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: This one a fun weggie because It's sort of the

90
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: toilet bowl variety there like that spins around and out

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: the eight and shot, and then I guess Bagley gets

92
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: most of the tip rebound, so we'll give it to

93
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: the bag man number twelve there on the season. And

94
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: then same night, a little bit later, Albert Comington fouled

95
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: on the shot. Yeah, nice, just going for a little

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: kiss off the glass. But in between all about well,

97
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: we'll counting that, of course, so that's thirteen.

98
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll pace for fifty three.

99
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: That's nice. There we go. It had been a couple

100
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: of days without a weggie, but we got two there

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: on Friday night. Okay, into the winners of the NBA

102
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: Weekend TK, you're up first here this morning. Who you

103
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 2: got for a big winner?

104
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 5: Great weekend for the Milwaukee Bucks. They big boyd a

105
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: couple of want to be contenders. I say that differently

106
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 5: than wanna be contenders, because I'm given the Calves and

107
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: the Mavericks a little bit of credit here. More they

108
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 5: want to be contenders rather than want to be contenders.

109
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 5: But Friday against Cleveland, the Bucks, trailed by eleven at halftime,

110
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: came out and ripped off a twenty three to two

111
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 5: run to start the second half. They really turned up

112
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: the defense in this one. Darius Garland Donovan Mitchell went

113
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 5: for thirty eight in the first half of this game,

114
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 5: only eleven in the second half. There's some great clips

115
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: on the Athletic dot Com. You can subscribe at the

116
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 5: Athletic dot Com slash no dunks of Drew Holliday and

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 5: Javon Carter just harassing Mitchell and Garland up the court,

118
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 5: taking forever for Cleveland to get into their offense, and

119
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: then having a bunch of really tough possessions as well.

120
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 5: Six blocks for Brook Lopez. Janna said he was challenging

121
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: every shot out there. Seemed pretty true to me. Jannis,

122
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 5: of course, went for thirty eight points, nine rebound, six assists,

123
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 5: two blocks, almost an afterthought at this point. He's put

124
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 5: up such crazy numbers. They followed up that win by

125
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 5: smacking Dallas on Sunday night thirty more for Giannis's fourth

126
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: straight game with thirty or more points. Coincides almost perfectly

127
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: with Drew Holliday's return. He's been back for five games.

128
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 5: Giannis has gone thirty straight in the last four, but

129
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 5: huge games as well for Grayson Allen finished with twenty

130
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 5: five points on seven of eight three pointers, hit all

131
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 5: seven in the first half. Air ball Who's only attempted

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 5: in the second half, which I did think was funny. Nonetheless,

133
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: seven for seven to start. And Bobby Portis had a

134
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 5: huge game in this one as well, fifteen points, ten boards.

135
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 5: It says, eleventh double double of the season. He trails

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: only Tyre's Halliburton for most double doubles in the league.

137
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 5: It goes Halliburton Portis.

138
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: That's a weird. It's weird.

139
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 5: It's very very strange. But shout out to statmus for

140
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: that one. Milwaukee also hit seventeen threes against the Mavericks.

141
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: There that's their season high ties a season high. Not

142
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 5: a perfect holiday, Unfortunately for the Bucks they lost to

143
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: the Bulls on Wednesday night. But this is the championship

144
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 5: Bucks we are used to. They got the best in

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: the league defense and the offense is starting to fight

146
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: and they're where these last five games with Drew back,

147
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: they're thirteenth in the league in offense after starting out

148
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: pretty slowly. So the Bucks have been good this entire season.

149
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 5: We kind of expected them to be good, and they're

150
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: looking just as good as you can imagine. Someday they'll

151
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: even get Chris Middleton back.

152
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: But what's the rush? Yeah, yeah, And if Grayson Allen

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: is doing what he's doing, then that's that's a cheat

154
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: code that is wrong. If he's able to do that

155
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: consistently hitting those seven threes. Watching that like this is

156
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: this is not fair because they can turn the defense

157
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: and they can choose to be a team that allows

158
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: three pointers or not or takes it away if they want.

159
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: They're just so damn good defensively. If the offense starts

160
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: to get rolling, which I think it will because it

161
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: kind of starts from the defense, and Drew's coming and

162
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: Chris Middleton's coming, this is the cream of the crop,

163
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: you know, the Celtics and then feel like the Eastern

164
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Conference Final and totally at this point.

165
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you can try and talk yourself into some

166
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: of these other teams, be it the Calves Sixers when

167
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: fully healthy, you know, the heat are starting to slowly

168
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: get it going and all these squads. But yeah, I'm

169
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: with your tasks. It's like we can almost fast forward

170
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 2: to the conference finals. It feels like in the East

171
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: between the Celtics and the Bucks and having a seven

172
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: game matchup between those two teams again, I feel like

173
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: that's the case, especially with the Bucks being the number

174
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: one defense, the Celtics being the number one offense, and

175
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: then both those teams, you know, slowly starting to find

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: their way on the other side of the ball. Be

177
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: it the defense for the Celtics or be it the

178
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: offense like you guys were talking about for the Milwaukee Bucks.

179
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, awesome, awesome weekend. I mean the Celtics, I mean,

180
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: I'll slip it in now, they could have been a

181
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: winner of the weekend too, because they just keep winning

182
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: games and one of them they are even missing Tatum.

183
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 5: They've won twelve out of their last thirteen. Somehow they

184
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 5: lost to the Bulls and.

185
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: They only lost to the Bulls and the Cavs.

186
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 5: Stay out of the Midwest. Yeah, Bucks advantage. I guess

187
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 5: they're gonna want that home court advantage. True, that's gonna

188
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 5: be actually probably super important first and second seed in

189
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference. But yeah, Celtics and Bucks at this

190
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 5: point you can kind of pencil them. Then one of

191
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: those teams is gonna get winner every single weekend. It

192
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 5: feels like, yeah, let's keep it going, though, who do

193
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 5: you got?

194
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to talk about the Golden State Warriors

195
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: because similar to the Bucks and the Ceth, the cream

196
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: of the crop in the East, I feel like the

197
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 3: Warriors are coming on. It feels like the Warriors are back,

198
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: and they were also hilarious this weekend. Let's start with

199
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: the basketball because it feels like the defending champs have arrived.

200
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: They started three and seven have gone eight and three.

201
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: Since Curry's been cooking all season long, he's been doing

202
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: Steph Curry like stuff, MVP Steph Curry likes stuff. But

203
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: when he sat, the bench has struggled and that's a

204
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: big reason why they started the season three of seven.

205
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: But why I think the Warriors are essentially back is

206
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: because the bench has an identity. Now, they feel like

207
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: they're different because Steve Kerr said, we are going to

208
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: try and win. Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins are playing with

209
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: the bench, and specifically Draymond Green and Jordan Poole have

210
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: a serious chemistry. Yes, those two, those two have I

211
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: think I think Draymond Green it really has unlocked Jordan Poole.

212
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 3: They're doing a lot of pick and roll together and

213
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 3: that two man game has helped Jordan Poole ball. He

214
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: feels good. He had nineteen in a win over Utah

215
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: on Friday. And the bench isn't necessarily crushing teams, but

216
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: they're just holding the starters leads because the starters are

217
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 3: playing so well. The Warriors are playing so ridiculously well.

218
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 3: Clay is back, Hot Clay is back, and their bench

219
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 3: is healthier. Dante du vintent Vincenzo is finally healthy. Each

220
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: Michael Green, Anthony Lamb and then Draymond Green and Andrew

221
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: Wiggins are stealing minutes from the young guys, especially Kaminga

222
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: is still getting some minutes. Moses Moody is not. James

223
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: Wiseman is in the G League. So they just want

224
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: to win. They saw what they did the first three,

225
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: three and seven, the way they were looking when they're

226
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: at first at three and seven, and they decided we

227
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: got to get Pool going. And Draymond Green, Yes, those

228
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: two have chemistry, and Hot Clay had six threes in

229
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 3: that Jazz game to help take control of the game.

230
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: And Hot Clay great play. It feels like they've got

231
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: a really great rotation. That's the best play there is.

232
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: And speaking of Hot they went into Minnesota for their

233
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: second game this weekend and had forty seven points in

234
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: the first quarter. That's ridiculous, an opening quarter of forty

235
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: seven wins. It was a blow it went. It was

236
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: just a blow it when front to back Clay had

237
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 3: twenty one points on five threes. Jordan Poole again feeling

238
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: so good nine to seventeen, shooting twenty four points. And

239
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: they're also a winner because they mocked these officials. This

240
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: whole mandate of not being able to cheer anymore, it's

241
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: absolutely nuts. Though. The rule is essentially you can't stand up,

242
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: but it's so subjective. The bench, your bench unit, guys

243
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 3: sitting cannot stand up and cheer. And what happened was

244
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: Draymond Green got a tech for celebrating his teammates basket

245
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: laid in the game against Minnesota.

246
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: He was doing more than just standing up in front

247
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: of his seat. Was dancing on the court.

248
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: He got on the court a little bit. Yeah, okay, okay, okay,

249
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 3: But he wasn't the game was number one, it was

250
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: over number two. He wasn't affecting anything, no, no, not

251
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: at all. He was having fun anyways. Was the funnier

252
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 3: thing was a minute later, Devincenzo hit a three in

253
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: Steph Curry to mock the technical fellow that Draymond Green

254
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 3: got right, he went way under the stanchion and was

255
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: pretending to celebrate, but he was just joking, joking about

256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: Draymond Green getting a tech and his teammates loved it. Oh,

257
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: they loved Yeah, they love jokes. They celebrated, So it

258
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: feels like they're got their vibes back. They're eleven and

259
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: ten and they're three games back first. That's scary for

260
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: the rest of the Western Conference because that's how tight

261
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: it is. No one is really running away with things.

262
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: The Suns are in first, but yeah, if any Western

263
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: Conference team makes a run and it feels like this

264
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: is the team that's going to do it, then you

265
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: can run up into first or second just like that.

266
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point because nobody's run away with

267
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: it in the Western Conference for sure. And their defense

268
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: is getting back to Warriors like defense, especially led by

269
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: Draymond Green. They have figured out this rotation a little

270
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: bit more. You talked about like Kaminga being really the

271
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: only super young guy that's earning some minutes there in

272
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 2: the bench sort of rotation. And then Clay is the

273
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: big part. I mean, now you just add suddenly a

274
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: guy that can score twenty five in his sleep again

275
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: and you know, hit five to ten threes on any night.

276
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: He's on a hell of a heater right now. For

277
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: the last four games, I think he's averaging averaging six

278
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: three pointers made, and then some of that's bumped up

279
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: by that ten three pointer mad game. But yeah, and

280
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: on top of this, you got Steph Curry, who was

281
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: always in the MVP conversation and maybe only on the

282
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: outside a little bit because they had a sub five

283
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: hundred record, is squarely sitting at the table now because

284
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: they're back to being at least the plus five hundred team,

285
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: and his numbers are insane and the efficiency is like

286
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: it's next level. So there's gonna be a fun MVP

287
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: race with Tatum, with Giannis, with Curry. Luca's numbers are there.

288
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 5: Jokicha is balling and he hasn't even had to play

289
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: his style of game yet. I don't think he's kind

290
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 5: of just dishing the ball right now. But yeah, the Warriors,

291
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 5: basically since James Wiseman went to the G League.

292
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: Have been incredible. They're eight and three.

293
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 5: One of those losses was the forty five point loss

294
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: against the Pelicans, where they rested all of their guys,

295
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: their top five in net rating, their top five in offense. Now,

296
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 5: it was just a kind of addition by subtraction. I

297
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: think the the vibes with Wiseman were not good. He

298
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 5: wasn't really playing Warriors ball. So no surprise that immediately

299
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: after he goes to the G League they figure out

300
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: how to play this style of basketball they've been playing

301
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 5: for the past six or seven seasons.

302
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: So the Warriors are back, at least in the Winners

303
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: of the Weekend category. Another one here, Big z Zuel

304
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: Cinder they call him. No one calls them. I like Cinders.

305
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: No the other big Z. I'm talking about Zubots, the

306
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: Clippers big man, the magical beast as they said, who

307
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: as he scored late, You are a magical piece, they said, Zubots,

308
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: just a monster. On Sunday, thirty one points, twenty nine

309
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: rebounds Trey Kirby. That's a lot of roast beats. Damn right,

310
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: twelve offensive rebounds of those twenty nine, three assists, three

311
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: blocks in thirty five minutes. He nearly had the thirty

312
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: thirty game. He should have had the thirty thirty game.

313
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: He was fouled out with like three and a half

314
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: minutes ago. Otherwise he gets it, no problem, he would

315
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: have had it on the play. He was actually called

316
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: for the foul that fouled him out right. It was

317
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: a block. You get that block. It's actually a rebound.

318
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: J always surprises me, you know, one of those weird

319
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: little statting things. But anyway, just an unbelievable game. He's

320
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: the first player in NBA history to record thirty plus points,

321
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: twenty five plus rebounds on eighty percent plus field goal

322
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: shooting since Shack in two thousand and four. I think

323
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: Barkley's the only other one to ever even do that.

324
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: So Barkley in the eighties, Shack in the two thousands,

325
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: and of course now zue Al Cinders zubots it for

326
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: the Clippers. What a line shooting fourteen to seventeen, perfect

327
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: at the free throw line as well, and a plus

328
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: thirteen in a game that LA won by fourteen points

329
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: because there's no Kauhi and no PG in.

330
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 3: This Yes, that was a big win for them. I

331
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: was surprised that they came out with this victory. I

332
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: do think just because he didn't get to the thirty

333
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: thirty mark that we weren't aren't going to really remember

334
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: this line.

335
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: It's a shame.

336
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: You're right, it's not we can hand pick. We can

337
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: hand pick and say Barkley did. But we talked more

338
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: about Kevin loves thirty and thirty that he got than

339
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: than a lot of those hand pick stats.

340
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: Didn't d we numbers.

341
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 5: I'm glad you guys asked we could we need to

342
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 5: find an extra rebound for zoo Box because there's only

343
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 5: been four thirty rebound games in the two thousands, right,

344
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: you mentioned one, Kevin Love, Dwight Howard, that's another one.

345
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 5: Who are the other two players with a thirty rebound

346
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: game in the two thousands? DeAndre Jordan No, DeAndre Jordan's

347
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 5: shack No Shack, Drummond no, no fair. I mean these

348
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 5: are both big guys, obviously, no.

349
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: No.

350
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 2: One guy is notable for a name change, a name

351
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: world piece.

352
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: So the second most notable name change, I think you

353
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 5: would say you can't.

354
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: Play this guy in the playoffs. That's for sure. It's

355
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: not freedom it is you think that one's weird.

356
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 5: How about the other of the four thirty rebound games

357
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 5: you said, shack it wasn't Shack, Yeah, it wasn't. Pagasol wasn't.

358
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 5: It wasn't and a thirty rebound game.

359
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: Majestical beasts, all of them. These are some majestical beasts

360
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: out there. Hey, you've been doing a lot of great

361
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: work on with the YouTube shorts, like highlighting postplay. Go

362
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 2: check out Zubat's first two points of this game last night.

363
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: Just putting, putting Turner in the basket. He's a good

364
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 2: just got it on a block and just put him

365
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: underneath and then an easy little hook shot for two.

366
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: But what a what a massive game. I mean, this

367
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: is the thing I wanted to point that out. But

368
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: Turner playing in this game, I mean, he's considered one

369
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: of the better defensive big guys in the league. He

370
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: was also destroying Isaiah Jackson in the backup sort of

371
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: power forward, big go whatever you want to call him

372
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: for the Pacers. Monster game from Zubots. Twelve offensive rebounds,

373
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 2: that's that's a full night of rebounds. That's nuts and

374
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 2: a good win. And the Clippers are with this. You know,

375
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: Kawhi's back and then he's good, and then Paul George

376
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: is there. Sometimes he's gone It's like they're doing all

377
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: right once again. Tyler's like racking up enough wins here

378
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: with these the superstars sort of in and out and

379
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 2: in and out and in and out. So zubats Man

380
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: he is. I said this at the beginning of the season.

381
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: This guy is so important to this team. Heaven forbid

382
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: he were to miss time and get actually injured because

383
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: they are short on big, big guys like him. But awesome,

384
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: awesome game. Let's keep it going though. Who you got.

385
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: Huge weekend for Tyrese Halliburton this weekend. Twenty six assists,

386
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 5: zero turnovers. Yeah, Pacers won't one on one against the

387
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 5: Nets and the Clippers. We just talked about the huge

388
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 5: Zoobots game yesterday, but if you stretch it back to

389
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 5: Wednesday night against Minnesota, hall Burton's last three games forty

390
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 5: assists in three turnovers. But he's really getting winner of

391
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: the weekend for the Friday performance against the Nets.

392
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: Went for twenty one points on seven to.

393
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: Fifteen shooting, fifteen assists and zero turnovers, six rebounds, four steals.

394
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 5: It's his third fifteen assists zero turnover game of his career.

395
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 5: The rest of the NBA has three in the last

396
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 5: five seasons, Pacers trail heading into the fourth in this one,

397
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 5: came through with a huge comeback outscored Brooklyn forty to

398
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: twenty three in the fourth quarter. Ben Maffren was huge

399
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: in this one, sixteen points in the fourth. The Pacers

400
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 5: went twelve of nineteen from the field, four of seven

401
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 5: from three. Kind of an inverse to their loss against

402
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: the Clippers, because the Pacers had a very bad second

403
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 5: half against La went fourteen to forty five, two of

404
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 5: twenty four from three. It's a three point shooting team

405
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 5: the Pacers are, which is how Halliburton's able to rack

406
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 5: up these assists. He gets into the lane all the

407
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 5: time off pick and roll fines guys wide open. But

408
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: if they're not making they're probably gonna lose some games.

409
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 5: So they're gonna have to hope for some nice shooting

410
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 5: over the next month because the schedule.

411
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: Gets very, very tough for the Pacers. The Clippers were

412
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: their first.

413
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 5: Game of a seven game West Coast road trip, the

414
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 5: longest road trip of the season, the only time they're

415
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 5: going to be out on the West Coast. The worst

416
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: teams they play in the month of December are the

417
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 5: Lakers and the knicks like decent teams trying to make

418
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 5: the playoffs. January eighth, they've got the hornets, but until

419
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 5: then it's playoffs or like playoff adjacent trying to get

420
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 5: into the playoff teams. So we might not be talking

421
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 5: quite as much pacers as time goes on. But Halliburton

422
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 5: is incredible right now. The number of assists is awesome,

423
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: Like fifteen assists, that's a great game. But to not

424
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: turn the ball over once, that's incredible, especially considering the

425
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 5: load he carries for this team. The way he sets

426
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: up almost every single shot when he's out there really great.

427
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: So he said he's leading the league in double doubles,

428
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: leading the league in double doubles.

429
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: Fascinating, amazing, and assists. Obviously it's weird that.

430
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 3: He is leading the league double doubles, but yeah, eleven

431
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: point one assists per game. And you'd think that there

432
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: would be way more turnovers with the way he plays

433
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: because he tried. When he sets up guys, it's not

434
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: like there these passes at the three point, like he

435
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 3: is getting into the lane and making the tough pass

436
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: to set up guys. His decision making is incredible. I

437
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: love watching every play that he's running the show because

438
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: he's he's so smart and he does he takes chances,

439
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: but he's able to just the decision making whether he

440
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: pulls back and shoots that shot. And his percentages have

441
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: come down a tiny bet, but he's still shooting really,

442
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: really efficiently. He's a great runner of the show. He's

443
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: what the Pacers thought they were getting in Malcolm Brogden,

444
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 3: but the injuries kind of set him back. I think

445
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 3: he's a souped up Malcolm Brogden. I guess I just

446
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 3: mentioned Malcolm Brogden because I love Malcolm Brogden. But Haliburton

447
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: is just a great shot maker and uh yeah, setting

448
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: guys up. He's he's impressive. They are very happy with

449
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: that trade.

450
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: Do you think who will it be? Either Lebron or

451
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: Curry or it could be honest, who is the All

452
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: Star captain? Do you think they'll draft Fox and Haliburton together,

453
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: put them on the same team in the All Star Game.

454
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: M bring it back, Lebron. All the King's men. Oh Jesus,

455
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: that's good you Lebron. You gotta draft all the Kings

456
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 2: players or former Kings players. Because Haliburton, I mean, he's

457
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: on his way right now to being an All Star selection.

458
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: For when he drafts them, he'll say Tyres, Aliburton, Curtains, Haliburt,

459
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: he wins. Yeah, yeah, he's good with the Lions. We

460
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 3: got these written for him. We got you, Lebron, no problem.

461
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: It felt like there were so many like nominees for

462
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: for winners of the weekend, even losers of the weekend,

463
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: more than normal, I thought in trying to put together

464
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: this show. So I just want to run through some

465
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 2: like mini winners of the weekend. Okay, the Rockets won

466
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: back to back games. M hmm this weekend. It took

467
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: down the Hawks and the Thunder, so two solid teams.

468
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: Sixers won two games in Orlando. Okay, they played the magic,

469
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 2: but they don't have any of their guys. It's Jake

470
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: Milton time, baby. This guy is all one over the

471
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: last four or five games. His numbers are unreal. The heat.

472
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 2: They've nearly clawed their way back to five hundred. They

473
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: picked up wins over the Wizards and the Hawks. Bam

474
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: is really starting to to find his mojo. Lebron returned

475
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: to the Lakers lineup on I Guess Saturday Night. He

476
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: scored thirty nine points, not bad coming back from his injury.

477
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 2: And then John Morant, he had his first triple double

478
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 2: of the season on Sunday in MSG. The Grizzlies won

479
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: a couple of games. They sort of like, finally, well,

480
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: I guess they are still missing Desmond Bane. They've got

481
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: some more guys back in there with John Morant, but

482
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: they got the w's, you know, staying around the top

483
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: of the Western Conference. He tried like a three sixty

484
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: spin in traffic in like a one point game with

485
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: like fifteen seconds ago or whatever it was. It didn't work,

486
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: but the ball went right back to him after he

487
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: got blocked, and he scored and that was enough. Jumper

488
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: Inston had a couple of chances for the Knicks but

489
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: missed some that he that he had been hitting. So

490
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: those are some mini winners there. But I want to

491
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 2: give the Suns some love after this long, really weekend

492
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: for us. They took care of the visiting Pistons and

493
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: the Jazz over the weekend. They won by a combined

494
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: seven points, So it wasn't like they blew these teams

495
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: out of the water, but they picked up these two wins,

496
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: which I think is important. With Devin Booker struggling to

497
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: score the ball. He was not going off for forty

498
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: five or forties or stuff like that. In fact, in

499
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: the two games he managed to score twenty four points

500
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: per game. Booker did, but he shot thirty six percent

501
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: from the field in just twenty one percent from deep.

502
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: So how did they get it done? Honestly, it was

503
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: taking care of the ball like there were a bunch

504
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: of Halliburtons out there. They only had thirteen turnovers versus

505
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: the Pistons, which is fairly low, and at six versus

506
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: the Jazz, which is unbelievable. And more importantly, DeAndre Eaton

507
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: he's just the beast this weekend versus Detroit twenty eight points,

508
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: eleven to thirteen, shooting, twelve boards, zero turnovers, zero fouls

509
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: too for a big guy. And then he followed up

510
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: with an even better game at least in scoring wise,

511
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: twenty nine points versus the Jazz eleven and nineteen shooting

512
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: decent at the line, twenty one rebounds Trey, that's a

513
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: lot of roast beaf, two turnovers, only one personal foul.

514
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 2: He this is like pretty incredible story when you think

515
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: about what was happening heading into the season, and you

516
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: know him and whether he's getting along with money Williams

517
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: and some of these guys on the roster, and Okay,

518
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna sign them, they're gonna keep them. Oh, they're

519
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: just gonna wait to trade them. And he started slowly,

520
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: but he's turned it on here and the Sons have

521
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 2: like the second best offense in the league. They trail

522
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: only the Celtics, and they still are a top five defense,

523
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: and they just keep winning. And I just think these

524
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: were important, like impressive wins in the sense that, of

525
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: course Chris Paul isn't playing, but it's not Booker just

526
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: like dragging them to the finish line. He was fine,

527
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: he's okay, but it was really eight in their star

528
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 2: and then everybody else contributing. So the Sun's, you know,

529
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: like we said, nobody running away in the Western Conference,

530
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: but they're they're a top it. Yeah, and then they

531
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: look really solid, I will say strange. Ending to the

532
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: Jazz Suns game. I don't know if you guys saw this.

533
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: Jazz are down one. It's Sun's ball. There's twenty six

534
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: seconds to go in the game, so not much of

535
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 2: a difference. Last I checked with the shot clock, two seconds. Uh,

536
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: they elect not to foul. Now, I get it to

537
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: some extent, You're like, you don't want to put Booker

538
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 2: at the line. The guy's pretty automatic, and so they

539
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: forced the ball out of his hands, but it made

540
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 2: its way out of his hands and then they just

541
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: like they just decided not to foul. The Suns took

542
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: a shot right at the buzzer and then ate and

543
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: of course grabbed a rebound. But even if he didn't

544
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: grab the rebound, it was like basically game over because

545
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: after the ball hits the rim and goes up in

546
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: the air, it's like a second or two game or

547
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: just a weird, weird decision there.

548
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 3: From Hardy interesting.

549
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: Danny Ames says, enough with the WS, what's going on?

550
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Just a strange.

551
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Conley injury really hurts that thing.

552
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was cool yea.

553
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: And the vibes with DeAndre and are good for sure.

554
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: You can tell. Did you see the video with him

555
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: and mckelbridge's vibeing with that kid sidelined? Oh god, yeah,

556
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: that's that's good, heartwarming stuff. They basic sang a whole song,

557
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: the Young Boy, Young Boy Never Broke Again song with

558
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: the entire thing with the kid who was doing his

559
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 3: stomp in Sideline. Yeah, that song, you know that, I

560
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: do know that song. Yeah, great vibes, great vibes. Ayden

561
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: could be he could be better, he could be better.

562
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: He's good, he's good.

563
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: Be good.

564
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 5: The numbers that stick out the most to me here

565
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: are in the win against Detroit seven free throw attempts.

566
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 2: Nine free throw attempts against the Gems.

567
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 5: The problem with Eighten is that he's the biggest guy

568
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 5: out there, and he plays like he's the fifth biggest

569
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 5: guy out there a lot of times. But against small

570
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 5: front lines in Detroit and Utah, he was inside. He

571
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 5: was doing work inside. So if he's able to do

572
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 5: that and keep putting up rebounding numbers, that helps the

573
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 5: Sun so much. But to me, they're a little bit

574
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 5: the Utah Jazz right now that we've seen in the

575
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 5: past couple of seasons. You know, they're gonna win a

576
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 5: ton of regular season games. They're gonna be one of

577
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 5: the best top ten teams on both sides of the ball.

578
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: You got to prove it in the playoffs.

579
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 5: But it's going better, I think to start this season

580
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 5: than anybody could have imagined after the summer.

581
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, I totally agree, all right.

582
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: You got one more winner of the weekend for us.

583
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: Who you got?

584
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 3: I've got a conversation with an Atlanta Hawks fan who

585
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: did something extraordinary and no dunks got to talk to him.

586
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: Joining us now is Atlanta Hawks fan Ickball. Lakhanie Iickball

587
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: with a great story. Thank you so much for coming on.

588
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, happy to be here.

589
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me, of course, because after seeing you

590
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: hit a half court shot the day before Thanksgiving to

591
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: win ten thousand bucks, and then seeing that this wasn't

592
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: the first time you did it, about four and a

593
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 3: half years ago March twenty eighteen, you did the exact

594
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: same thing, same court, half court shot for another ten grand.

595
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: A wild story. Two shots twenty grand four and a

596
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: half years apart. What is your secret?

597
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: Man?

598
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 6: You know what? I stick with the same routine.

599
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: I went into the shot four and a half years

600
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 7: ago with you know, certain step approach, you know, a

601
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 7: few steps, a few dribbles, and focused on the rim

602
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 7: at that point and really just did the same thing.

603
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 7: I was very superstitious, went into the same exact routine,

604
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 7: and it honestly played out for me and.

605
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 6: Worked out really well.

606
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: So yes, money, there was no rimick Paul absolute cash

607
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 3: on this.

608
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 6: You was crazy?

609
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 7: Is when I when I shot it, I got back

610
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 7: to my seat. The depth perception is so tough in

611
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 7: that building. Is I go back to my seat and

612
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 7: I asked Buddy. I was like, hey, did I hit

613
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 7: the backboard? He's like, no, you hit all met there.

614
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 7: So I was shocked on when I went back.

615
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good to hear from a professional half court

616
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 3: shooter like yourself. You know, professional, but but honestly, going

617
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: back to the starter's days in our summer league, we

618
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: would step up and miss half court shot after half

619
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: court shot after half court shot. Our appearances, we went

620
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 3: over part of it as well. Like you're saying, is

621
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: the death perception. Part of it is just having weak

622
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: shoulders like myself. It was. It was terrible. Do you

623
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: have any advice for us if we ever get back

624
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: on a court to try this again?

625
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 7: I would recommend, if you guys had not already, is

626
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 7: going to the gym ahead of time and getting your

627
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 7: shoulders loose. I will say that was effective. I went

628
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 7: to three different gyms that day. I found out at

629
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 7: two o'clock that day I was shooting it. I was

630
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 7: at the zoom with my nephew, Wow, I'm trying to

631
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 7: figure out. Okay, I got to I got to get

632
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: to a gym as soon as possible. So I went

633
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 7: to three different gyms around Atlanta and eventually found one.

634
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 7: Whether it was a couple of people and you know,

635
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 7: asked them if I could just kind of shoot some

636
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 7: half court shots and had to communicate what I was

637
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 7: actually happening. So getting my shoulders loose, honestly, is the

638
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 7: best advice I could try to give to you guys.

639
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: So that is the absolute best thing I've heard, because

640
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: I find I find out and we just showed the

641
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: clip if you're watching on YouTube. I find I come

642
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: up short every time myself. Yeah, I shortarm it because

643
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 3: I'm stiff as a board. So that's good to hear.

644
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: You found out two o'clock same day. I'm interested in

645
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: how well you get selected, how did it happen, Well,

646
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: did you get a call or what, and how did

647
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: it happen the first time as well.

648
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I'm a season ticket holder.

649
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 7: So I've been a ticket holder for ten years, and

650
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 7: you know, I had been talking to my rep you know,

651
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 7: randomly throughout the season.

652
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 6: In an effort to do it.

653
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 7: They actually had a tryout this year for the Hawks

654
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 7: for potential half court shot shooters, because I guess in

655
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 7: the past years, you know, there was just so many

656
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 7: opportunities that people wanted, so they said, hey, why not

657
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 7: do a tryout. So before the season it started, there

658
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 7: was an open practice, and at one of those opening practices,

659
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 7: there was probably a line of five hundred season ticket holders,

660
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 7: you know, that all got one shot to essentially their

661
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 7: claim to fame as their tryout. So I did go

662
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 7: there and showed up, and I guess I made the

663
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 7: cut because I had gotten an email at two o'clock. Literally,

664
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 7: I just arrived to the zoo of my nephew's birthday

665
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 7: at two o'clock and he had emailed and said, hey,

666
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 7: we got an opening tonight. Do you want to take it?

667
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 7: And you know, at that time, I'm scrambling because I'm like,

668
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 7: I got I got to get a shot, I got

669
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 7: to practice, I I gotta do to spend time with

670
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 7: my nephew.

671
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: For his birthday.

672
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 7: So I had to had to find that all balanced out,

673
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 7: and eventually I committed to it.

674
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 6: But yeah, it would just be an email and it

675
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 6: communicated to me amazing.

676
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: That's interesting.

677
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: You heard hours before, the same thing happened the first time.

678
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 6: The first time was actually a little bit different.

679
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 7: I had I had found out it was a Celtics

680
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 7: Hawks game, you know, way back in I think December

681
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 7: of twenty seventeen.

682
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 6: I had rolled my ankle that day. It was it

683
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 6: was a tennis ball.

684
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 7: So I had contact my rep to I can't do

685
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 7: this today, but like, this is my life dream to

686
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 7: like try to have this opportunity to do it, and

687
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 7: he rescheduled me actually for two to three months at

688
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 7: it ended up being versus the Sixers in like March

689
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 7: of twenty eighteen, So I actually knew that time ahead

690
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 7: of time where I, you know, recovered from my ankle

691
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 7: injury and then eventually got some more practice it in

692
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen.

693
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 6: But this time was a lot different. You know, literally three.

694
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 7: Four hours before I was headed to the stadium, I

695
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 7: found out so amazing.

696
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: So I got to ask you both times you want

697
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: ten k I'm going to ask you how much or

698
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: what you spent it on. I know you spent it

699
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: on the Peachtree sweater that I'm looking at right now here,

700
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 3: an incredible sweater as a beauty sweater. The New City

701
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: Edition Jersey lineup, but ten K each time? What have

702
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: you spent it on? And what will you spend it on?

703
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I would say they're very different. You know,

704
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 7: four and a half years apart. I was twenty eight before.

705
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 6: And you know that.

706
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 7: I will say we went out that night and had

707
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 7: a good time. The first time around, I you know,

708
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 7: went out with a few buddies. I The cool part

709
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 7: about was I just mentioned it to my friends and

710
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 7: we got a lot of Hawks games. So the first

711
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 7: time there was like fifteen to twenty people there because

712
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 7: I'd known, you know, a couple months ahead of time,

713
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 7: so we had time to you know, kind of make

714
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 7: something of it.

715
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 6: So I had almost twenty people there.

716
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 7: So immediately afterwards we actually you know, I had to

717
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 7: get drinks for everyone, of course, but you know, spent

718
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 7: it probably a little bit more responsibly last time and

719
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 7: actually just put in my account.

720
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 6: At that point and didn't really think anything of it.

721
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 6: This time around.

722
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 7: I'm actually getting married in May, so the thought was, yeah,

723
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 7: I appreciate that. So it was you know, hey, you know,

724
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 7: we've been talking about where we want to go for

725
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 7: a honeymoon, so I'm actually going to contribute it to

726
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 7: our honeymoon funds, so so it's going for a much

727
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 7: different cause at this point, and actually allocate the dollars

728
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 7: to use it for that reason.

729
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 3: All right, And I'm curious, Yeah, do you think they'll

730
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: have you backckball or do they like that you keep burying.

731
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 6: These you know what, I've wondered that.

732
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 7: Same thing myself and trying to figure out the right

733
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 7: time or the you know, tread very carefully.

734
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 6: On when to ask them. But I hope they'll bring

735
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 6: me back out, you.

736
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 7: Know, hopefully it's a it's a feel good story, you know,

737
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 7: third times a charm and hopefully I can I can.

738
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 6: Make them proud and maybe maybe I'll get a try

739
00:34:59,160 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 6: it on there.

Speaker 3: at a computer and just get up and hit shots. Anyways,

758
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 3: this isn't about me. This is about ickball. Hitting two

759
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 3: half court shots for twenty k four and a half

760

Speaker 3: years apart. Two for two money.

761
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: He's got to go back and try for the trifecta, right,

762
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 2: it has to be like three or four years from now.

763
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: He's gonna twenty six. Yeah, bring him back. That's awesome.

773
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: That's all you need. That's how Ickball does. In watching

774
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 2: his shots, some of you guys are talking about the

775
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: shoulders and all that and like that, you know, sticking

776
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: with the plan. I get it, you know, repetition. But uh,

777
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: you notice the height he had on both of his shots.

778
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: A lot of heights, a lot of ar I think

779
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: too many people, ourselves included. You come in too hot.

780
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 2: You know, you're not giving yourself a great chance. You

781
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: might bank it home, but that's probably the only chance

782
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: you're really going to knock it in. Give that thing

783
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: some height. Both of it is that he knocked down

784
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: four and a half years apart. Ah, it was like rainbow,

785
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 2: those great stuff.

786
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like a field goal kicker steps back from

787
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: his his line three steps right. I was yelling at

788
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 3: a young boy who's playing football this year this weekend. Okay,

789
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: you know our buddy Grishes kid. He's just the routine

790
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 3: is horrible. When he's doing field goal kick and he's

791
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 3: like running back ten steps and then he's booting it.

792
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: You know, he's hooking it. Anyway, we got to get

793
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: eight ball to coach this kid.

794
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can do it all from distance for sure.

795
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: All right, awesome stuff. We're gonna take our first break

796
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: here on Today Show when we come back to Losers

797
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: of the NBA Weekend. All right, we've done our NBA

798
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: Winners of the weekend. Let's do the losers task one.

799
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: Do you get it started? Who's get the big l

800
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: from you?

801
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 3: Listen? We saw the half court shots from our guests.

802
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: So that was the best part about the Atlanta Hawks

803
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: recent play. Otherwise, yeah, they had a couple of losses

804
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 3: this weekend that were unfortunate. Started Friday night against the

805
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets, and it was kind of humorous if you're

806
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: just a casual basketball fan, if you're not a Hawks fan,

807
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: the way this went down. They played the three and

808
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: fourteen Rockets on Friday night. They were looking great going

809
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 3: into the third quarter, taking care of business, but then

810
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: they started showboating big time. De Jontay Murray stepped up

811
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: hit a three point shot and Jabari Smith number three

812
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 3: pick was guarding him and got really close on the

813
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 3: close up and it didn't hit him, but he got

814
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 3: really close and as the ball went through the hoop,

815
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 3: de Jontay Murray padded Jabari Smith on the head. You

816
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: don't see that very often, although you do see it

817
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: from de Jontay Murray. That's it's kind of his m

818
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: He did it in the sum in the summer pro

819
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 3: am put a ball off someone's head. You got the

820
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 3: pile of boncaro, a little thing going on there. And

821
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 3: then there was another showboating moment right after that where

822
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 3: Trey Young put up a shot. Johntay Murray absolutely turned

823
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 3: around was doing the airplane as the ball was in

824
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 3: the air. So their showboating things are looking good. At

825
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 3: the Rockets, the young team they had enough of the

826
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: show boating. Jabari Smith started a little scuffle and with

827
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: six thirty five left in the third quarter, it was

828
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: a sixteen point Hawks lead. Then four texts were handed out,

829
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: but that just fired up the Rockets and the final

830
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: court to day outscored the Hawks thirty four to eighteen.

831
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: The Hawks only hit four shots, and that was the

832
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: ugly thing for the Hawks. When the going gets tough,

833
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: when the defense gets tough, what is going to happen

834
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: with Trey and de jon Taymurray. Are they going to

835
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 3: be able to run an offense? Now? They did miss

836
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 3: Clint Cappella in the lab opportunities. He was out with

837
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 3: some dental work. But that's my worry with the Hawks

838
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 3: struggling in the fourth when defense is really locked down

839
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: and the Young rockets again three three and fourteen should

840
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: have been put away. But Jalen Green had a good

841
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: game thirty points, five wards, five assists, and some more

842
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 3: trash talking. There was even more tweets after Trey Young

843
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: saying he's not gonna tweet with fools or deal with

844
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 3: fools or whatever. He was saying. He did have a

845
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 3: great game. He had forty four. Jontay Murray had thirty nine,

846
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: ridiculous numbers. Ridiculous numbers, but no other starter scored in

847
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: double digits and they got out rebounded Clint Capella not

848
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 3: being there fifty nine to twenty eight. But that's no

849
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: because then they went in back home, I should say,

850
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: against the Miami Heat on Sunday. This was the rematch

851
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 3: of when they got embarrassed in the playoffs. They lost

852
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: four to one. This was the first time that they

853
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: played the Heat, and after half they just got shut

854
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: down on both ends. First, the Heat just kept running

855
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: the same play the law play over and over and over,

856
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 3: and bam Adebayo's taken advantage. Bam had a great game,

857
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: thirty two points, no Jimmy in this game, and then

858
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: they just zoned up and they took away the Hawks.

859
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: They they started five of seven from three, the Hawks did,

860
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 3: and then they shot five of twenty nine after. That's

861
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 3: my worry, not getting into the pat when the heat

862
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 3: are able to take away when you go zone. I

863
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: don't think Collins John Collins was taking advantage of enough

864
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 3: and probably a little too much off Frank kaminskiin this game.

865
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 3: But either way, not enough paint action for this team.

866
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 3: So that's the Worrisom part for this Hawks team. So

867
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 3: roller coaster with this team. There's some great highs. Yeah,

868
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 3: there's also a lot of lows.

869
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, eleven and nine now on the season. So you

870
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: think the mocking there from the Hawks specifically in the

871
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 2: in that second half lit a fire under Jabari Smith

872
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: and Jalen Green and the Rockets to dominate the fourth quarter,

873
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: like you pointed.

874
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: Out, Yeah, and I should say Jordane right. Jabari Smith

875
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 3: has not been talked about a lot as one of

876
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: the top draft picks, you know, amongst the national media.

877
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: Number three pick Ben Mathern been talked about way more

878
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: than the number six pick. Obviously, pyl Le Boncaro has

879
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 3: been talked about a lot, but he's been playing really,

880
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 3: really well and he can shoot the three at five

881
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 3: threes in that game twenty one to nine, one assistant,

882
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 3: one block, and one steal, So he's been looking better.

883
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, undoubtedly, I think he's a pretty calm, cool

884
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 3: guy and they need some of those to go along

885
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 3: with Jalen Green and Ken Porter Junior. And they had

886
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: fun in that fourth quarter. Yeah, that was the Rockets

887
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 3: had the worst record coming into this weekend. They won

888
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 3: two games, as we mentioned, was a great win for them. Yeah,

889
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: it was a great win for the team. And it's

890
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 3: okay that they're towards the bottom, but these young guys

891
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 3: continue to grow, and yes it's should be growth. On

892
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 3: the other end, the Hawks should be growing. But that's

893
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 3: a game they should have put away and the heat

894
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: as well. They're up double digits in that game. No,

895
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler, that's the unfortunate thing. They're just not they're

896
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: not locking down in Yeah, the offense is worrisome, even

897
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 3: though this was the number two offense last year. They

898
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 3: add to John Timurray. You think they'll be fine. It's

899
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 3: I just have flashbacks of that heat playoff series where

900
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: they kept Trey out of the paint. Where are you

901
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 3: gonna go?

902
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 2: The Hawks were a popular pick at least on Twitter

903
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: and people responding to who should be winners and in

904
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: their case losers of the NBA weekend, and I think

905
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 2: it's fair that task is leading them here with them.

906
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on the on the disappointing at eleven of

907
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: the nine Hawks, I mean they're nineteenth in offense. Yeah,

908
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: that doesn't make sense at all, but.

909
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 5: It's very indicative of the way things went in the

910
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 5: game against the Rockets. Like, you get eighty three points

911
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 5: from Trey and Dejonte, you should probably win that game.

912
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 2: But they got no shooting.

913
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 5: Outside of those guys, and Trey hasn't really gotten his

914
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 5: feed under him. He's shooting thirty one percent from three.

915
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 5: Their best three point shooter, whoever plays right now, is

916
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 5: forty six percent. Aaron Holliday, He's a third point guard.

917
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 5: AJ Griffin is the next best shooter thirty nine percent.

918
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 5: He's a rookie. Other than that, you're looking at DeAndre

919
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 5: Hunter thirty four percent. He wants to take mid Rangers Anyways,

920
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 5: Dejonte Murray not a shooter. John Collins thirty one percent.

921
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 5: They don't use him very much right now. This is

922
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: a team that needs to get some sort of outside shooting.

923
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 5: Bogdanovich missing the entirety of the season certainly factors into that.

924
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 5: But I don't think that offense should be a problem

925
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 5: for the Hawks because they're playing defense fine. Their twelfth

926
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 5: in defense right now. So if you take their offense

927
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 5: from last year their defense this year, that's the making

928
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 5: of a good team. But they've definitely taken a step

929
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 5: backwards offensively.

930
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,720
Speaker 2: We're a quarter of the way through the NBA season.

931
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 2: I mean at a certain point some of these teams

932
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: are gonna make some decisions when it comes to like

933
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: what are we, where do we where do we feel

934
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: like we should be at? And what I mean by

935
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 2: that is like, okay, is John Collins going to be

936
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: traded here for reinforcements to help maybe expand this roster

937
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: a little bit or some other sort of like borderline

938
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 2: star player or at least a great starter in this league?

939
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 2: What does this mean for Nate McMillan if he can't

940
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: get these guys in that offensive offense? Humming and any

941
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: other pieces that could possibly be potential trade pieces, be

942
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: it you know, Capella or Bogdanovitch. I know he's injured,

943
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 2: so it's always tough train injured guy. But I think

944
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 2: they're going to do something here the kid. There's no

945
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 2: way they can be happy with being a five hundred

946
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: team after the big, big push all your chips in,

947
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: at least in terms of draft picks to.

948
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 3: Get to jehan Y Murray. Something is happening the Clint

949
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: Capella move, that little two game experiment, if you want

950
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 3: to call it that, without Clint Capella this weekend for

951
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 3: Anyaka and kong Wu going to the starting lineup didn't

952
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 3: go all that well. But the John Collins rumor that's

953
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 3: been a rumor for a billion years feels like it's

954
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 3: actually going to happen because they pushed in with de

955
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: Jon Tay Murray and they're unable to get into the

956
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 3: lane because they have shooting problems and because they don't

957
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 3: move it around, and I think John Collins will get

958
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 3: moved for shooting help. There was a rumor via Bleacher

959
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: Report about John Collins going to the Utah Jazz, potentially

960
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 3: for Kelly ol Nick and Jordan Clarson something a package

961
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 3: like that where at least you would have more shooting

962
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 3: around the Hawk's back court. And I think that sort

963
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 3: of makes sense. But I think there will be a

964
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 3: John Collins deal made at some point. They they've gone

965
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 3: all in with it. As you said, Dejohonte needs needs

966
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 3: space to get into the lane, and it would help

967
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 3: Trey as well. It's unfortunate, but you're gonna have to

968
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: trade a good player, yea. And John Collins is a

969
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 3: gret player. I think he's gonna be the.

970
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 2: One they should go for. Jay Crowder.

971
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 5: I think that's a guy that just chucks threes and

972
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 5: plays defense and is a tough guy, which I think

973
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 5: will certainly help. He can probably get him for a

974
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 5: John Collins, And you know, I think Collins will help

975
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 5: the Suns as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if

976
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 5: that's a guy they target. But Crowder's seems like he'll

977
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 5: get to kind of pick where he wants to go.

978
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 5: So who knows.

979
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 2: The Hawks probably not if they're struggling, all right, Trey,

980
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: who do you have for a loser of the weekend?

981
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: Bad weekend?

982
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: Nay?

983
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: A bad week for the Dallas Mavericks.

984
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 5: They lost all four of their games last week, starting

985
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 5: last Sunday, lost to the Nuggets, the Celtics, the Raptors,

986
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 5: the Bucks. That's five losses in their last six, eight

987
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 5: in their last eleventh, dropped them to eleventh in the

988
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 5: Western Conference.

989
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: You guessed it. Not enough firepower.

990
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 5: Tassie Luca decent games in both of these losses, twenty

991
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 5: four and nine on eight to fifteen shooting against the Raptors.

992
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 5: He's basically double teamed all night. Jason kidd was give

993
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 5: him a ton of credit for passing the ball away. Sure,

994
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 5: I suppose twenty seven to twelve, ten of twenty shooting

995
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 5: against the Bucks, who are the best defense in the league.

996
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 5: Spencer Dinwiddie and Christian Wood stinkers against the Raptors. So

997
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 5: it's kind of like, yes, Luca was making the right play,

998
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 5: getting rid of the ball wasn't working out for him.

999
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 2: They were both really good against the Bucks. But the role.

1000
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 5: Guys for the Mavericks are struggling right now. Reggie Bullock,

1001
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 5: We've talked about him a little bit, a career thirty

1002
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 5: eight percent shooter. He's only shooting twenty eight percent right now.

1003
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 5: But as soon as the clock turns December he turns

1004
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 5: into a forty percent shooter. Hopefully that happens for him

1005
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 5: as well. But the other guys are struggling to Maxi

1006
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 5: Klebuk career thirty six percent from three, he's at thirty

1007
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 5: one right now. And Tim Hardaway Junior skeets you said it.

1008
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 5: The guy's shooting with his feet out there, thirty six

1009
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 5: from three for his career just twenty nine percent right now.

1010
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 5: They're playing a lot of three and D guys, but

1011
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 5: they're only D guys right now, which is the problem.

1012
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 5: They're about where they were last year the Mavericks are.

1013
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 5: They look like the same team. To me, it's a

1014
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 5: question of how they can take a step forward, because offensively,

1015
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 5: the answer seems to be, we gotta play Christian Wood

1016
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 5: a little bit more. The guy's a bucket when he's

1017
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 5: out there. Him and Luca have pretty solid chemistry. He

1018
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 5: makes a ton of shots, but you're gonna give up

1019
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 5: a ton of points if you play Christian Wood a

1020
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 5: whole bunch more. And obviously, Jason Kidd seems to be

1021
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 5: a guy who is more of a defensive coach than

1022
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 5: anything else.

1023
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

1024
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 5: Dallas fans are down bad right now.

1025
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 2: And you can.

1026
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 5: Understand why because kind of the only hope for the

1027
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 5: MAVs right now is these guys who are usually good shooters.

1028
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 5: They gotta be good shooters, which maybe that is the case,

1029
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 5: but you can have a stinker of a year. You

1030
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 5: can just be in a slump for a whole year.

1031
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 5: Like if Tim Hardaway Junior shoots thirty two percent for

1032
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 5: the whole year, he'll probably stand in the rotation. He'll

1033
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 5: probably play him a bunch, but he will be bad

1034
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 5: for them.

1035
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: Well, reinforcements are on the way, according to Trump's at

1036
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: least Kemba Walker is coming to the Dallas Mavericks a

1037
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: little scoring punch. What year can you give us? Can

1038
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: you be a jail In Brunson super light version A

1039
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 2: poor poor, poor, poor poor man's Jalen Brnson from last year.

1040
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 2: No Kemba Walker apparently gonna be joining the Dallas Maths.

1041
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on that. I mean, they're searching for anyone

1042
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 2: to help contribute offensively.

1043
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 3: For sure, they are in a bat. I wonder how

1044
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 3: many minutes he's gonna play, because they're releasing Facundo Compazo,

1045
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 3: who wasn't getting a lot of minutes for the Dallas Mavericks,

1046
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 3: they just need one of those wings. Reggie Bullock, who

1047
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 3: is shooting thirty percent from the floor twenty eight percent

1048
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 3: from three, would be monstrous. You know, it wasn't long

1049
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 3: ago that this team was nine and six and then

1050
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 3: they go have a run where they play Denver, Boston

1051
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 3: to Ron, know, and then Milwaukee.

1052
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: That's a tough, tough schedule. Yeah, yes, so but to

1053
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: push back on that, you know, some people are trying

1054
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 2: to convince themselves that the Dallas Mavericks are in the

1055
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 2: same conversation with some of those teams. Sure, so you know,

1056
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: you want to win a couple of them no matter who.

1057
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: It was a tight game going down the wire with

1058
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 3: ogn and all, we you know, blanketing Luka Dancic on

1059
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 3: Saturday and then to expect back to back tough situation

1060
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 3: against Milwaukee. But yeah, they need somebody, somebody from the wing.

1061
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: The kleab Of thing hurts as well because he could

1062
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,479
Speaker 3: be helping out. He's sort of there, you know, break

1063
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: glass in case emergency. Just he's just always there. He

1064
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 3: was just always there to hit a three when their

1065
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 3: guards were struggling.

1066
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 2: And he's just a sneaky important player.

1067
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 5: For them because he's the only big guy that does

1068
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 5: something on both ends of the court when he's making threes.

1069
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 5: When he's not making threes, He's just like Dwight Powell

1070
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,959
Speaker 5: and JaVale McGee. You can play defense, yeah, what else.

1071
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm excited that some of these teams are like struggling

1072
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: a little bit here again at the quarter mark, because

1073
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: I'm ready for trade season. You know, the rumors are

1074
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 2: gonna like really pop off here, I think in the

1075
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks as we get closer to the

1076
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 2: trade deadline. But like the Mavericks, they feel like a

1077
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 2: team like, oh damn, we gotta we gotta help out

1078
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,280
Speaker 2: Luca here. I mean, obviously Kemba is like Kembo okay,

1079
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 2: but they got to do something. You would think teams

1080
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: like we talked about in the Hawks and possibly the

1081
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 2: Wolves being five hundred after their big move getting ready

1082
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: to Gobert, they're just like to some of these teams

1083
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 2: that are like, now, oh, this is who we are.

1084
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 2: Oh we thought we'd be way better than that. So

1085
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: what's the move? Is it just one piece? Is it

1086
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: trading one guy for two guys and stuff like that.

1087
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: Is it giving a pickup and don't orr about the

1088
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 2: future all that much. For something to get better right

1089
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 2: this second. I think we're gonna get like a decent

1090
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 2: little couple weeks here of you know, maybe not blockbuster trades,

1091
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 2: but borderline emergency podcasters.

1092
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 3: We're gonna drop some EPs, like what's gonna.

1093
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: Happen when Kyle Kuzma gets traded? You know, what's gonna

1094
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: happen when Jae Crowder gets traded? Ri Jehn Collins. I

1095
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't think it's an emergency podcast. But

1096
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: it's all about timing. It's all about timing.

1097
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, if we're here, we're dropping John Collins.

1098
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But when you're driving back

1099
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,240
Speaker 2: an hour and a half to the factory.

1100
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 3: For a John and okay whatever, you never know the

1101
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 3: traffic borderline EP. Yeah, I'm driving back.

1102
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 2: We're getting some We're getting some borderline emergency podcasts for John.

1103
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm coming back for John. Okay, anyone named John as.

1104
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: Any player named John who's traded.

1105
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 3: Conchar Wow, No way, we have to I guess.

1106
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 2: We have to know, all right, the Mavericks. That is

1107
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 2: a well deserved loser of the weekend. I'll give it

1108
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 2: to the San Antonio Spurs. No, a lot of people

1109
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: are probably gonna say, why who cares? They want to

1110
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 2: get Wemby, I mean they want to lose games. Yeah,

1111
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 2: that's probably the case. But the Spurs did lose back

1112
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 2: to back games on Friday and Saturday too, the same

1113
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 2: team the Los Angeles Lakers, I mean not great, and

1114
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 2: they lost Yaka Perle and Jeremy Sohon in that second game,

1115
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,959
Speaker 2: both with like quad injuries. I hope they're not too

1116
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 2: Who's serious? Both those guys have like you know, the

1117
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 2: rookie and Sohan, and then Pearl's been playing really well.

1118
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 2: There's a guy that could possibly be traded if someone

1119
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: wants to make an offer that the Spurs can't refuse

1120
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: for their big And then you also had Zach Collins

1121
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: they're back up big. In that second game, he was

1122
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 2: ejected for a flagrant two foul on Russell Westbrook cut

1123
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 2: open Russ there. The blood just started like coming fast

1124
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 2: and furious from his forehead there. I mean he got

1125
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 2: him on the pump fake and Collins came down and

1126
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: caught him there sort of with his elbow. Lebron was

1127
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: all over it. Medic Lebron getting a towel to stop

1128
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 2: the bleeding. But just a rough weekend for the Spurs

1129
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 2: with those injuries and the losses. And this was a

1130
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 2: team that started five and two and they've dropped thirteen

1131
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 2: of their last fourteen. Now they've lost eight straight games.

1132
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 2: This is the weirdest part. That matches the longest losing

1133
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 2: streak in the Pop era, and it's just weird to

1134
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: see the Spurs team continually give up like one hundred

1135
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 2: and twenty five points. That's the weird part to me.

1136
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: It's like with Pop coaching them. They've given up one

1137
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty points twelve times already this season. That's

1138
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 2: all A lot of games were giving up a whole

1139
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 2: lot of points. Though, I guess I always with the Spurs.

1140
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: I forget they haven't been a good defensive team for

1141
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 2: like five years running. But you know, you just keep

1142
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 2: thinking the Spurs as a team that was like continually

1143
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and you know, way back when winning

1144
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 2: a bunch of championships. But they just haven't been good

1145
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 2: on that side of the ball. And it got worse

1146
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 2: this weekend losing two games a Lakers. So I'll l

1147
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 2: for the San Antonio Spurs. Why smiling.

1148
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: Well, I'm smiling. And whenever you do a Lebron sort

1149
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 3: of any Lebron story, people will come in with the

1150
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 3: L blank. Right, Lebron's starting a podcast podcast call it

1151
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 3: emt here with Willie Waugh on the stream team Willie Waugh.

1152
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 3: It's more of a written one, So maybe I shouldn't

1153
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 3: have verbalized it. LA first aid lamed. That sounds better, Yeah,

1154
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 3: late empty, it looks looks better than saying it, So

1155
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 3: just stop saying it now. But uh, the Spurs needs

1156
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 3: some medics, that's for sure. I Trey said it recently

1157
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 3: that we're talking about teams that are no longer league

1158
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 3: passing teams that you just, yeah, you kind of grim

1159
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 3: us when you see them on the schedule. I was

1160
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 3: being a company man, as I always am, in saying

1161
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 3: I think I can still watch thirty teams still at

1162
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 3: this point. But Trey, you mentioned that the Spurs are

1163
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 3: sort of on that threshold. They are. They are the

1164
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 3: ones that are teetering, one of those teams that you

1165
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:27,959
Speaker 3: kind of like, oh.

1166
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: They're tanking harder than anybody right now.

1167
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're the tankies. Yeah, they're doing a good job

1168
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 3: at it.

1169
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 2: They're gonna have a fourteen percent chance at Victor.

1170
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 3: I believe it's fourteen or maybe it's fourteen other I

1171
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 3: thought it was.

1172
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean they're gonna get a top four pick,

1173
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 5: and they need a top four pick pretty badly. Like

1174
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 5: even if they don't get Wemby, if they get scooted,

1175
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 5: they get Am and Thompson, Like they need to get

1176
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 5: a guy who could potentially be the number one on

1177
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 5: their team because that guy is not on the roster

1178
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 5: right now.

1179
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, fourteen percent and uh de Jontay Murray

1180
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 3: was traded for this very reason. He's helping them win

1181
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 3: too many games. Last year, he's only making sixteen million.

1182
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 3: They decided the last year to do this. Yeah, and

1183
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 3: it's working.

1184
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: No, that's why it's weird to give them like a

1185
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 2: loser of the weekend if that's the whole point to

1186
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 2: rack up these ls, but you lost two to the Spur.

1187
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 2: It's just mainly they're not any no defense is being played,

1188
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 2: and they are just like all right, just it's weird

1189
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 2: to see pop just all right, just do whatever you

1190
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 2: gotta do. But it's for the probably the long term

1191
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 2: future of the franchise. Then it maybe will work out.

1192
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 5: The first thing they did though, was going five and

1193
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 5: two to start the season. Because they're getting smashed now,

1194
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 5: like they've lost thirteen to fourteen. Their one win was

1195
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 5: when the Bucks sat all of their guys, so kind

1196
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 5: of a giveaway game. But they're really flying under the

1197
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 5: radar for being the worst team in the league right

1198
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 5: now because they had such a strong start to the season.

1199
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 2: Then you're thinking, on they're.

1200
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 5: Probably fine, right, they're competitive in these games. Nah, pretty

1201
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 5: shamelessly tanking.

1202
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 2: Just to throw this news in here, it's not really

1203
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 2: lose the weekend, but like the Hornets, Gordon Hayward is

1204
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: out indefinitely with a shoulder fracture. If you guys saw

1205
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 2: his wife jumping on I guess it was Instagram sort

1206
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: of fire in some shots at the Hornets and how

1207
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: they're handling the injury and how they're referring to it

1208
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But Horn's gonna Hayward, excuse me,

1209
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 2: he's going to miss some time, Howard I put Gordon with.

1210
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 2: Horward is going to miss some time. And there's a

1211
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 2: team that's also going to be in the WOMENAMA sweepstakes,

1212
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: and I think they okay. Emergency podcast for when PJ

1213
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: Washington gets traded, or Kelly u Bray junior or a

1214
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 2: plumb dog millionaire. You're drive him back where you live.

1215
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 3: I'll drive five, i will walk a thousand miles and

1216
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 3: I'll walk a thousand more to talk about the man

1217
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 3: who talks about Kelly Uberbray's hair.

1218
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, yeah, they got it. This is a team that,

1219
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: of course should lean into getting trading these guys for

1220
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: any future compensation because we don't need to regurgitate it.

1221
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 2: But Hayward's out. I don't know if you have any

1222
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 2: thoughts on the Robin Hayward getting pissed off. I can't

1223
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 2: believe it.

1224
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 5: Skeets, I got a thought on it because I've seen

1225
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 5: more Hornets games than I care for and Golden Golden

1226
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 5: gold Gordon Hayward. He's been grabbing his shoulder a lot.

1227
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 5: He's seems like he's getting his shoulder hurt every single

1228
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 5: time he's out there. So maybe she's right they're not

1229
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 5: treating him well enough because they're showcasing him to trade him.

1230
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So he came back for a couple of games

1231
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 3: right after being out a while. Yeah, yeah, And the

1232
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 3: thing is he hasn't been able to play fifty games

1233
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 3: since he got to Charlotte. No never when the felt

1234
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 3: like the contract was an overpay for Michael Jordan immediately,

1235
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 3: but then Gordon Hayward was bawling and initially but then

1236
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 3: he gets injured and I guess they haven't been handling

1237
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: it well. According to Robin Hayward. I don't have any

1238
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 3: inside information. All I know is that he's not able

1239
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 3: to stay on the court and that's the problem.

1240
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he missed eight games there because of the injury,

1241
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 2: and then he came back for for three and of

1242
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: course reinjured it here and he had played okay in

1243
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: at least one of the games.

1244
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 3: He's probably playing video games pretty well while he's out,

1245
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 3: because there shoulders down. You don't do anything with your shoulders.

1246
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 3: I did see somebody comment the Robin Hayward. His wife

1247
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 3: came out and also interrupted a time when he was

1248
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 3: playing video games and said, we gotta go. Gordon shut

1249
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 3: down the PS or the Xbox. We gotta go. So

1250
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 3: there's some more Robin Hayward content for you. But there's

1251
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 3: first of all, Gordon Hayward's got a tattooed wedding ring

1252
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 3: that he him and Robin have just wanted to share that. Also,

1253
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 3: why not a hair package like Gordon Hayward and Kelly

1254
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 3: trading two men with unique hairstyles.

1255
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't think the.

1256
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 3: Guys are like, oh yeah, what are they trading for.

1257
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: Other guys in cool haircuts?

1258
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 3: Cool haircut.

1259
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 2: I can't see anybody training for Gordon Hayward.

1260
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 3: No, he's got this year right, next year, a second rounder.

1261
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 2: The top fifty nine protected second rounder. For some of

1262
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 2: these other pieces, you could convince me they could contribute

1263
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: to your team, be it like a pj Ari Kelly

1264
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 2: or stuff like that. You know, obviously somebody coming off

1265
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: the bench or like a fifth starter. But yeah, just

1266
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 2: because yeah, they're not the not quite the deal that

1267
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 2: Gordon Hayward is making still, but he is out and

1268
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 2: they'll just probably continue to keep losing games here and

1269
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 2: no rush to get Lamello Ball of course back after

1270
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: he re injured his ankle. Right, So guys in and

1271
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 2: out there for the Charlotte Hornets, those are our losers

1272
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 2: of the NBA weekend. Anyone else you want to throw in?

1273
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,439
Speaker 2: Any other players, any other teams, any other moments, any

1274
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 2: other wives tweeting or instagramming about their loved ones and

1275
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: an injury.

1276
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 5: No, I mean I gave some consideration to lose there

1277
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 5: on the weekend for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Certainly they lost

1278
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 5: two games, but they also just won five straight, right,

1279
00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 5: so give him a break.

1280
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 2: Very kind of you.

1281
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did win some games.

1282
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: We'll give him a break.

1283
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 3: Speaking of wives, this came up on Friday. Sorry, our

Speaker 2: fill this week, so if you.

1289
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 3: Can watch it up alright, Robin Hayward could have been

1290
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 3: on it.

1291
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:28,880

1292
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I don't know the history of the show.

1298
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: He makes the odd appearance you see a one Dixon

1299

Speaker 2: every once in a while.

1300
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:52,520

Speaker 2: you got? I guess I'd get more excited Eric.

1306
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 5: I'm thinking we got Eric Snow, we got Wan Dixon,

01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 2: the coffee tastes. I assume it's pretty good. Slide in

1329

1330
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 2: picking results from way back on Wednesday night because we

1331
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 2: didn't have a show on Thursday or Friday. It was

1332
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 2: that Dallas Celtics game. Why did I say Dallas Celtics.

1333
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: That is a weird way to say it. Dallas Boston

1334
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 2: game or MAVs Celtics game. Boston was favorite by four

1335
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 2: and a half. I took the MAVs. That was wrong.

1336
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm reeling after a super hot start in

1337
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 2: the month of November. I'm nine and seven. You guys

1338
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 2: got the victory there. Task improved to six and ten,

1339
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 2: trays five hundred at eight and eight. So anybody's ballgame here? Actually?

1340
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 2: Still with what how many nights? Three nights to go? Yeah,

1341
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:12,360

Speaker 7: Here?

1344
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 2: Really? No no, there's too many games.

1345
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 3: Now, there's too many.

1346
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 2: Game Well, this is this is my issue. There's either

1347
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 2: too many games or there's not enough games. Spread it

1348
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: out man, like an olive paste.

1349
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what it's called. Uh. There's some good

1350
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 3: ones out there though, including the Cleveland Cavaliers and the

1351
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 3: Toronto Raptors.

1352
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a nice one.

1353
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 3: That's a nice one. Rematch of Opening Night for both

1354
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 3: these teams.

1355
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Good point.

1356
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 3: Darius Garland got poked in the eye and the Raptors

1357
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 3: won that game.

1358
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 2: Yep.

1359
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 3: So what shall happen in Toronto tonight? Very close line,

1360
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 3: one point five point favorites. It's basically are the Raptors? Yeah,

1361
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 3: basically a pick them the Skeets. You're going with the

1362
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 3: hometown Raps, while traying myself taking the Calves.

1363
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 2: Raps are playing pretty decent ball. Took care of the

1364
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 2: Mavericks on the weekend, playing that great defense on Luca,

1365
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: contained in the rest of the guys Og doing his thing.

1366
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 2: Bouche has been a monster off the bench. You guys

1367
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,400
Speaker 2: putting up numbers. This is a difficult game. But yeah,

1368
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 2: Urel swerve. I'll continue to swerve as I slide and

1369
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 2: slide after, I was like, that was like nine to

1370
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: two At one point, I think I've lost five in

1371
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 2: a row here. Oh yeah, I know, but not tonight.

1372
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Raptors getting done.

1373
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 3: You guys got the Yeah, I got the revenge. I

1374
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 3: feel bad going against the Raps. Usually I'm an auto

1375
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 3: auto clickter junior click. I think the Calves got a

1376
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 3: revenge factory.

1377
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 2: You think they really are reeling from that opening night loss.

1378
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 2: Sticking with them and why do you take.

1379
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 3: Out a finger stuck in their eye?

1380
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, I'm taking them because when the Calves pull

1381
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 5: out this win, I.

1382
