WEBVTT - Hot Streak in Memphis

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Come on on this episode of the Heat Check.

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>It's time to check in on the most surprising team

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 2>of the NBA season, folks. Yes, r it's the Memphis Grizzlies.

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>This has been coming a long time. I've been wanting

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 2>to talk about them since. Really, they've been one of

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the most surprising winning teams since they lost Jaw. Yes,

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 2>the Grizzlies lost Jaw, and they're actually playing better and

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 2>they're not dead. They're not dead by a long shot. Instead,

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>they're the hottest fucking team in.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 3>The league right now. Yes, and I'm going.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>To dissect like a like a doctor. Why so, go ahead,

0:00:55.040 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Rock and drop that motherfucker. John Morant went down with

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>what I think many people thought might be a season

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>ending knee injury. Everyone, including every pundit, wrote off the Grizzlies.

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>The season might not be over for Job, but the

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>season is over for Memphis because at that point they

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 2>were ten and eleven, nine and ten, ten and eleven,

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I think. And if they go on that streak or worse,

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>say they go two and ten, If he misses to

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 2>twelve games where they go three and seventeen, you're done.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>That's night night Jaw comes back and he's doing his

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>best Derek Rose impersonation in his prime, or Steph Curry.

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to be Batman. Probably re injures himself, get

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>shut down for the year, and then that's that's it.

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what kind of people thought because Jaw

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>was at that point when they were ten and eleven,

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>balling twenty four, six and seven, led the team to

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>impressive wins. They had a lot of dumb losses, but

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 2>their wins were super impressive. They beat the Calves, they

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>beat the Clippers, they beat the Warriors, they beat the Nuggets,

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 2>and they beat the Jazz. And he was impressive in

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 2>ways that we discussed a couple of weeks ago.

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 3>When he got hurt, right.

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Like, he was co leading the league in points in

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the paint sixteen points in the paint per game, tied

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>with Anthony Davis, who is six'.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>TEN i guess it's just Like.

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Alan iverson, type fearlessness and, bounciness like a guy who

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>everyone said coming out of college wouldn't be big enough

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>or bouncy enough to do those things and get to.

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 3>The rim in THE.

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Nba so when he went down with that, injury it

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>was just night Night but here's what people didn't, Realize

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>like The grizzlies have been building in one of the

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.119
<v Speaker 2>more unique ways in THE, nba in a way that's

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 2>not built pifically For, jaw but to Support. Jaw, YEAH

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 2>i mean it's a unique thing because no other teams really,

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>like for, Example Damian.

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Lillard Damian lillard has a team.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>That without him would crumble And Taylor jenkins and this

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>franchise knows That jaw can be, special but he can't do.

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Everything and we should have seen this coming Because.

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Grizzlies fans knew it and they talked about it actually

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 2>preseason that The grizzlies are, athletic they are super, deadly super,

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>dangerous and they had a couple of players that were very,

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>underrated low under the, radar players that were.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Ready to break.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Out De Anthony melton And Desmond, bane two guys that

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>no one expected jack shit from last year and a

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>lot OF nba fans don't even know their name. Now

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>so we talked about him last year on this league

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>as players to, watch but it seemed like Only grizzly

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 2>fans were really less BECAUSE i was getting a lot of,

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>heat like Fuck Desmond baan he's. Bulky he's just a

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>spot up. Guy like he's just all. Shoulders he's like

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>a Shorter Dwight. Howard he's not even that. Good BUT i,

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 2>mean so this is what The Drew hill at The

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Daily memphis sion what a name of a. Newspaper When

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>memphis Traded Grayson allen To milwaukee this, summer it was

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 2>a bet That melton And bain would continue to get better.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 3>In more expanded.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Roles, literally the reason that they traded away annoying ass

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>but also highly Productive Grayson, allen who is now bawling

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>out In, milwaukee by the, way is because they wanted

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>to find and free up more touches For melton And,

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>bain like guys that are largely role. Players and as

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>good as De Anthony melton has, been, Really Desmond baine

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>has been electric Memph if this Coach Taylor jenkins was

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>clear from the beginning that even Though bain And morant

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>complimented each other, Well Desmond bain has been playing spot,

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 2>minutes taking over now That jaw's not there and he

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>is has been. Incredible but he also Said Taylor jenkins

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>that their developments were not correlated or tied Together Desmond

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>bain is his own human. Being he's not here to

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>be the outlet pass To. Jaw he is his own,

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>guy and he is a. Star Desmond bain was slowly

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>evolving into a player in his own right While jaw

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>was becoming a.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Superstar and this is exactly.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 2>What bain said after game, one after game one of

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 2>this season last, YEAR i didn't want nothing to do

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>with the. PAINT i was strictly a catch and shoot,

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 2>guy and THEN i would get into transition every once

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 2>in a. While but coach has given me more, freedom

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 2>and we've worked tirelessly on this all off, season So

0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 2>i'm now more comfortable there for. SURE i don't know

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>IF i can properly articulate how hard it is for

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a head coach who Has Jah morant to think about

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>ways to Develop Desmond, Bane like it's JUST i, mean

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>you've Got jaw and the fact that your, head your

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>mind has any real estate For Desmond bane and how

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>to develop him and how you see him as a

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>piece of, clay and you're, like, man he's not just.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>THAT i think he could be this and THIS i

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 2>think is like maybe two coaches in THE nba or that,

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>way like most of them are, like, Hey, Gary Trent,

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>junior you sit there and stand in the corner For,

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Dame like.

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 3>It's like fucked.

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Up it's literally, like, hey you'd be a statue over.

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>There just be someone who can be basically like a,

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>robot perfect form catch and shoot guy When dame has

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.559
<v Speaker 2>no other option but to do that because they crowd

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the pain around. Him that's crazy to not just throw

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.679
<v Speaker 2>all the eggs in The Jaw moran, basket but to

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 2>make things like a like a, quilt like in a

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>way the patch people's game seamlessly together and squeezed the

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>most potential out of every other person that they.

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Have But jenkins didn't just put all the eggs into.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Jaw jenkins also worked to develop not Just, bame but De'

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Anthony melton and Also Jaron, jackson who's a star sixteen

0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>four and one right, Now Jaron jackson And Dylan, brooks

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>who a most scout Said Dylan brooks had alligator.

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Arms Dylan brooks.

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Was not applauded or lauded going into the, draft LIKE

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>i love, HIM i think he's. Gritty even me would

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>not have taken him in the first. Round he was

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>a second round. PLAYER i think he was taking forty fourth,

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>overall and people were, like, OH i think.

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a, reach and it's not a.

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Reach and now Rookie Zire williams and Even Tias, jones

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 2>who was filling in At jaw in The jaw at the,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>point is having a.

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Career year as, well eleven four and. Seven so his

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 3>thought process.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Was to develop a team and not to develop a

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>superstar and compliment him with a bunch of statues around

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the perimeter and maybe a rim. Protector like imagine If

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>portland Or washington would have done this With John wall

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>And Bradley, beal, Like, hey we're gonna give you a

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>bunch of. Scrubs just make magic for. Us wizards like

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 2>make magic for, us like. Wizards and so When jaw

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>went down with the knee, injury that hard work ended

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>up paying off because those guys got additional minutes and

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 2>they got additional roles To it's Like jah can't save.

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>You like when it's crunch, Time, desmond it's your time to.

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Shine and that provides you with opportunities to develop.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Confidence and become your own.

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.319

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Elite here's another, headline how The grizzlies are playing their

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 3>best ball Without Ja.

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Morant another headline The grizzlies are grinding more than ever Without.

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Jaw three reasons why The Memphis grizzlies are an ELITE

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>nba team in twenty twenty. ONE i, MEAN i hate

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>the three, reasons LIKE i don't give me this BuzzFeed,

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>list like be, better please be? Better so why the

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>question is? Why first of, all turnovers are way. Down

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.520
<v Speaker 2>jaw's probably his biggest flaw is that he turns the

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>ball over a ton ALMOST i think a little more

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>than three point times a. Game and Because jaw's not

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 2>on the, floor The grizzlies haven't been turning the ball

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>over at. All no shade To, jaw but that's just the. Case,

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 2>second they're clamps right. Now they're. Clamps grizzlies defensive rating

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>in their last nineteen games of the seaton their first

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>nineteen games of the season With jaw was dead, last dead,

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>last out one to fifteen point, one and the next

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>best or next, WORST i guess you could, say wasn't even.

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Close the next closest team was a eleven point.

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Six that's. Gross they were so trash at that.

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Point i'm thinking to, myself why did you even Trade

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Yonis valanciunis if you don't give a fuck about defense at, All,

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>like aren't you supposed to be Getting Steven adams for his?

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Defense and they were dead last the last ten. Games

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>grizzlies are now check, this that out number one in

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.079
<v Speaker 2>the league with a defensive rating of ninety nine point,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 2>eight the only team under one hundred in that period of.

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Time they're even better right now in that stretch Than Golden,

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>state who is by far the best defensive team in.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Basketball it's.

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Insane here are two more incredible stats than. That grizzlies

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 2>are currently number one in blocks per game and block,

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>percentage number one in steals per game and steals per

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 2>defensive possession from worst place to first place in ten.

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Games and it's not about Jaw like a lot of

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 2>that came Because Dylan brooks came. Back brooks did not

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 2>come back into the lineup Until jaw was already. Injured

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Dylan brooks has been. Grinding Dylan brooks is what makes

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 2>this team go. Offensively The grizzlies are averaging two point

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>one more points a game Without, Jaw, like this is

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a guy who is number one co leading points in

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 2>the paint and this team is still Without jaw number

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>one points in the.

0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Paint that's.

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Incredible here's WHY i think, though that this is something.

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 3>That you can rely on moving. Forward One Jared.

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Jackson people didn't think he deserved his contract one hundred

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and five million.

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 3>DOLLARS i think he. Got they's, like, oh he's got

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 3>an ugly.

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Shot he's two, injured he's coming off of a aniscus.

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Tear he almost MISSED i think over half of last

0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 3>season and now this.

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Year he's taking six and a half threes per, game

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>making almost forty percent of.

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Them that's.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Elite he's running off screens like a, wing shooting off

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>of movement like He's Anthony.

0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Davis he can shoot.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Outside and because he can shoot, outside then you've got

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 2>defenses that need to close on, him which they can't

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 2>really even contest because he's seven feet. Tall they've got

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>to close it on him, quicker which that means cross slash,

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.800
<v Speaker 2>dunk and he's able to attack the. Rimp why because

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>he's like probably one of the, best if not the

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 2>best big man that can handle the. Rock memphis is

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 2>plus eleven point nine with him on the. Floor he's

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>top five in THE nba right, now elite defense wise

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>because he's top five in THE nba and block rate.

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 3>At six and a half.

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Percent so Since jaw went, Down Jaron jackson has put

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 2>up twenty one and five with forty one percent from.

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Three and when people ask, him, like, hey why he's

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>so good right, now he was, like, hey, uh when

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you get, home why don't you have yourself some?

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 3>Water it tastes. Good i'm a huge water.

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Guy so.

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 3>The reason Why.

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Jaron jackson is so good is he's just been increasing

0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 2>his water. LEVELS i GUESS i just need to drink

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 2>more water and then Maybe i'll be seven feet tall

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and shoot forty percent from. Three number Two Desmond bane

0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 2>actually a. Star like guys don't know who he. Is

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 2>people will be talking about. Him Sports center watch out

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 2>for The Desmond baines segment in the next ninety.

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Days off ball three and d. Guard he slipped to

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 3>thirty in the, draft.

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Coaches was, saying, oh nice, kid, big big shoulders out

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 2>OF tcu Horn. Frog he's exploded on both ends of the.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Court bain's usage has gone up from sixteen point one

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.960
<v Speaker 2>percent to twenty two percent this. Year even with, Jaw

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>memphis is letting him attack off the dribble more. Often

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 2>he's also a mid range. Monster he's kind of like

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 2>DeMar derozen If Demartin rosen actually shot threes and was.

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Thicker he's, like he's a thick, Boy like he is

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a big. Kid if you look Up Desmond bain and

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 2>you don't know who he, IS i, mean he looks

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 2>like a football player and he's still shooting forty percent

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>from three on nearly seven threes a.

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Game like he just stole. Him they stole. Him why

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Didn't portland get? Him they stole.

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Him Dylan brooks maybe the most underrated player in the.

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 2>League also somebody WHO i think would have been great In.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Portland he's maybe the best on ball defender Besides Drew

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.640
<v Speaker 2>holliday in THE, nba and he's taller Than drew when

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 2>he's on the floor of the team has a net

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>rating of ten point. Four they have one hundred and

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>thirteen offensive rating and one hundred and two defensive. Rating

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>when he's off the, Court it's fucking. Gross the offensive

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>rating goes from one hundred and thirteen to one hundred and,

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>nine and their defensive rating goes from one hundred and

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 2>two to one hundred and, eleven which is a net

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 2>rating of negative.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Two.

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Gross Dylan brooks made that makes this shit. Go, fourthly

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 2>this team is. Deep Xavier tillman super. UNDERRATED i barely

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>even spoke about. Him killy And tilly probably the Only

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Gonzaga kai that you could even like say is contributing

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.800
<v Speaker 2>right now outside Of. Sabonis but, like Is sabonis really?

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 2>CONTRIBUTING i, mean, Really, isy if they're not even calling

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.200

<v Speaker 2>what are we?

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Doing Steven. Adams Steven adams.

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Is actually doing what they said he was supposed to,

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>do like veteran, presence toughness that valentunis, like Like valentinis will

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 2>give you, Twenty but do you need twenty when you

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Got Desmond baine And Xavier tillman And Dean Anthony melton

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 2>And Killian tilly And jaw And.

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Tias, Jones, like, no you don't need.

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Offense this team needed defense And Steven adams has been

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>crucial for. Them, also we Got John conkar who's been

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 2>valuable as.

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Well Tias. Jones Tias jones is maybe one of.

0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 2>The most underrated backup point guards in the. League he

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.600
<v Speaker 2>has the best assist to turnover ratio in THE nba

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.040
<v Speaker 2>for the last three years. Running this year he has

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and nineteen assists to twenty one.

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Turnovers that is.

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Disgusting that's nearly that's that's a ratio of six to. One,

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 2>like that's some. Shit that is like How houseway how

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>their number two team in scoring in the. PAINT i

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 2>poo Pooed valenttis, Trade but you know, What Like memphis

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>is second in THE nba in points in the paint

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>at fifty three point, six just Behind San. ANTONIO i

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 2>thought Losing valentnis would impact them, negatively but it. Hasn't

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Like Steven, adams they're. Better but also you've Got, Jaw

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 2>you've Got Jaron jackson leading in points in the paint as,

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 2>well And Steven. Adams they're Like Steven adams defensive rating

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 2>right now is one oh nine this, year which would

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 2>have put him in the top fifteen in.

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 3>THE nba last. Year so why then aren't we talking about?

<v Speaker 2>they pursue a trade With Ja morant For Ben. Simmons,

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.359

<v Speaker 2>Coming jaws coming, Soon and, that my, friends should scare

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.720

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 2>team in The west and a top eighteen in the

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.439
<v Speaker 2>league with.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Him fuck who? Knows who?

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Knows maybe when we Watch Golden state Play memphis in

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the play in last last, year we weren't watching two

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 2>teams struggling just to get into the. Mix we were

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 2>watching two teams emerge as maybe two of the best

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>teams in the entire, association and that's cool like going

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>from bottom to the top in a matter of twelve.

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Months that's something that All Sad, Orlando Magic Portland trailblazers
