Speaker 6: I can't figure it out with the Wilson's. We got

83
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 6: off to such a hot stop, and I thought maybe

85

88
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: showed there what on pace for just.

89
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: Forty I thought we just passed the All Star break.

90
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: Shouldn't we be halfway? Shouldn't it be like fifty four?

91
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: That's the All Star break.

92
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: For free stratch here, it's not the second half.

93
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 4: Only thirteen projected the rest of the season. Oh that's bad. Wow,

94
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: that's terrible. But we got you collaborate. Twenty seven twenty seven.

95
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: Let's get into our winners of the NBA weekend and

96
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: task I sorted ted you up there. But you're taking

97
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: James Harden here. Seventy six ers looking pretty good here

98
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: this pairing.

99
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joel Ebid said they're unstoppable after two wins. They

100
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: beat the Timber Wolves, they beat the New York Knicks,

101
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: a thirty point win against the Wolves and a sixteen

102
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: point win against the Knicks. Obviously, they looked really really

103
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: good together. Chemistry looks like it's solid. Obviously the points

104
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: are coming from James Harden. Obviously the boards because he's

105
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: gonna get your triple double ish numbers. But it's the

106
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 4: assists I think that really really stand out. Huge numbers,

107
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: especially against the Knicks yesterday. He's averaging fourteen assists through

108
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: two games. I think he's the best entry passer that

109
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 4: the Sixers have, period. And Joel and Biid was saying,

110
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: I really haven't got passes like this ever in my career.

111
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: And there were some that he was surprised to get

112
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: on the break. Hit him in the hands, he bobbled

113
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: it because he just didn't see they were coming. I

114
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: think with all the talk about James Harden and you

115
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: know what he does, that he dribbles a lot and

116
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 4: that he shoots a lot, we forget how incredible a

117
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: passer he is. He literally sees the floor very very

118
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 4: very very well. And Embiid, you know, weeks after saying

119
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: Ish Smith is the best point guard he's ever played with.

120
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: Maybe that's a dig get Ben Simmons. James Harden obviously

121
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: now the best point guard he's ever played, was an

122
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: incredible passer. The chemistry is it's going to I guess

123
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 4: be expedited, that chemistry because Harden has the ball in

124
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 4: his hands all the time, and when he plays, he

125
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: plays a lot. So I think that's that's why joelan

126
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: Biid said this week and I really never been wide

127
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: open like this in my life. Seriously, I mean the

128
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: passes and you know he's talking about all the attention

129
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: that Harden gets when he's dribbling the ball. The hamstring

130
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: looks obviously really great. He's lulling guys to sleep. So

131
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: embid thirty seven and thirty four this weekend. Then he

132
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: hit ig and he said, I can't believe this is

133
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: my life, you know, with a picture of him on

134
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: the floor. He's pumped. I think Tyre's MAXI also very

135
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: pumped to be the other member of the big three.

136
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: That's who he is.

137
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: He's the Derek Fisher of the shak and Kobe.

138
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do I feel about Maxie, who's played really

139
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: well here with Harden on the team, being included in

140
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: a big.

141
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 5: I think, I guess, I guess, yeah, Bia Harris as

142
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: he won Rick Fox. Yeah, he's the Rick Fox and

143
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 5: the Jack and Coche.

144
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 4: That's a good one.

145
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 6: The thing is that with MAXI like that was like,

146
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 6: how is this guy gonna adapt with James Sodden and

147
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 6: James Hodden's finding him.

148
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 2: Man, he's shooting.

149
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it's been great for him through two games. Yeah,

150
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 6: this is awesome.

151
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 4: Listen, Harden wanted to be in Philadelphia because he wanted

152
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: to have the ball more. He said after leaving Brooklyn,

153
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: Philadelphia is my choice because it's the best heart and

154
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: I can be And to me, that means I can

155
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: dribble every possession. And Tyres Maxie is a young player

156
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 4: and he's waiting, hands up, ready to just shoot those

157
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: open lanes as soon as he gets the ball. And

158
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 4: because Harden does little defenses asleep, everybody's watching Harden. MAXI

159
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: has those lanes. He's being he's using that athleticism to

160
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: his advantage. Twenty eight and twenty one. He's ready to

161
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 4: receive those passes. And yeah, he is the third member

162
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: because Tobias Harris and the rest of the guys, you know,

163
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: George Yan, Danny Green, matist tible. I question whether or

164
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: not they can make shots throughout the entire playoffs, whether

165
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: or not this is a championship team. They barely did

166
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 4: enough this weekend because those other three guys were just Harden,

167
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: embead and and Maxi specifically were so good that they

168
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: didn't really need much contributions for those guys. But I

169
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: worry about their death depths of Curry gone. And yeah,

170
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: those guys didn't have to do a lot really, but yeah,

171
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: when Harden's averaging twenty eight points nine boards, even those

172
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 4: hands working with some steals there against the Knicks, he

173
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: had five steals. The feet not necessarily moving on defense,

174
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: but the body there. I love when he gets mad

175
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: when somebody tries to help him in the post on defense.

176
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: Get the hell out of here. What do you do

177
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: when you're leaving other guys open? Because he is seriously strong.

178
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: Five steals and then at the other end the free throws.

179
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: Everyone was worried, these dudes are just going to shoot

180
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 4: free throws after free and they did. Yeah, So combine

181
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: their averaging twenty nine and a half free throws through

182
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 4: two games, so it's like fifteen for each of them.

183
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 4: But it was Sunday and Beat had twenty seven free

184
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: throws and it was kind of tough to watch.

185
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: It's a long game.

186
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: It was long, but Embiid loves it, Harden loves it,

187
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 4: and and and they show after the game that they

188
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: do love each other. I think one thing that was

189
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: underestimated this is a comedic duo when they hit the

190
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: press conference. I think it's different because Harden is sort

191
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 4: of off the ball and Beads the jokey one, and

192
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 4: Harden just looks at him while while we're showing you

193
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: a clip on YouTube of shrinks water. Yeah, and the

194
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: chugging a bottle a lot.

195
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: That's good, crushing, really good.

196
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 4: So the reverse roles, you know, because usually you see

197
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: Harden doing the either the talking or the dribbling. Now

198
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 4: and Beads the jokester and Harden can play the off

199
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: guy during press conferences. Yeah, So I think that we're

200
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: going we're in for some good comedic moments like we

201
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 4: did there watching a man chug a bottle.

202
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: That I know you proposed to your wife Roxy in

203
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: a weird way. If I remember, you were on the

204
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: other side of the globe and you were in a continent.

205
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: But did you have when you actually did get married,

206
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: did you have the honeymoon? Did you go anywhere?

207
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: Yes, we did.

208
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 6: We went to Lima, but I couldn't leave the country

209
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 6: for the first twelve months because being married to a

210
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 6: Canadian you have to stay to prove that it's a

211
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 6: legitimate you got marriage.

212
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: You got to stay in the.

213
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Country and just do it for your people.

214
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 6: No, no, no, So it was delayed by a year,

215
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 6: but we got there. But the honeymoon beautiful, amazing, amazing

216
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 6: first couple of days I'm sure of the honeymoon were

217
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 6: probably the best.

218
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: Awesome, great food, met some Yeah, it's pretty good.

219
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: I'm getting out here. I don't know if Roxys and

220
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Bee are hard, but this is like hard, perfect start,

221
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: perfect start to the honeymoon here at the Sixers, and it, yeah,

222
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: helped out a little bit, especially playing the next who

223
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: was like.

224
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: And it's same with Friday Night.

225
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 6: It was a close ish came out of being a

226
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 6: thirty point game, and the Knicks led yesterday's game in

227
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 6: the last quarter. In the fourth quarter they really came

228
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 6: back because that looking back, but then yes, the six

229
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 6: has got away there and that the honeymoon is an

230
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: interesting thing because we've seen it before in Markland where

231
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 6: he had a great start, even in Houston when he

232
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 6: came back. Remember if he missed those first few games,

233
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 6: he was good then. So Harden's doing all the right

234
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 6: things right now. Attitude is great, body language is great.

235
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 6: You know, he's saying all the right things. He's passing

236
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 6: to his teammates. They're winning games.

237
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: Now.

238
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 6: The question is, Okay, can you do that every single

239
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 6: night now for the rest of this season?

240
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: Can you do it in the playoff?

241
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: And can can you do it next season?

242
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: Right?

243
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

244
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: But for now.

245
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 6: I mean, if you're the Sixers, you're like, you're like

246
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 6: you mentioned said Curry, like we can live without him

247
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 6: if we get this out.

248
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: This is why people myself included, were saying more and

249
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: Sixers have to trade right now at before the deadline

250
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: for a star player if you can, of course, in

251
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: a Harden when that deal came, a possibility to pair

252
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: with them bed because there there are title contenders. I mean,

253
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: there are five or six teams in the Eastern Conference

254
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: that you could take yourself into winning the East. But

255
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: they're one of them, and there are more than they

256
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: were prior to acquiring Jams aren't if this was the

257
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: Harden you were going to get, And they probably felt

258
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: good about it because more he's.

259
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: Like he loves me, he'll play Sorry.

260
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Then what happened? Who was hand injury? What happened to

261
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: is like hamstring injuries. It's all gone. So and this

262
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: is why you do lose twenty pounds in a week.

263
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: What does he do?

264
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 5: Does he ask for a bigger jersey and wear it

265
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: more untucked when he's ready to leave a place, and

266
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: then he goes to the next one, size me down.

267
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tuck it in tighter so I look slimmer,

268
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 5: because it's the same thing every time. I used to

269
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 5: think trading for John Salmon's was the best movie you

270
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 5: could make because suddenly he would be a twenty five

271
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 5: point per game scorer afterwards. But James Harden is the

272
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 5: best player you can possibly trade for because he instantly

273
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: becomes a top five player like that. So I kind

274
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: of thought next year was gonna be the seventy six

275
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: ers best chance to win a title. It might be

276
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: this year because if they're on the honeymoon moon period

277
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 5: right now, people come in and like, oh, can you

278
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 5: believe James Harden's passing, I can he ever ten point

279
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: nine assists per game. Last year for the Brooklyn Nets,

280
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: he was second in the league and assists. The guy's

281
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 5: one of the best passers in the league. He just

282
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 5: gave up for a month, so now he comes back in.

283
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: He's been basically resting for a month. He looks like

284
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 5: the fastest guy. Guess what. The movement's not gonna keep

285
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: happening when he stays in Philadelphia. He's not gonna be

286
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: running to the corner for threes. Look how me three

287
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 5: pointers from the corner James harden Ever takes it never happens.

288
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: He's not gonna be running fast breaks, but he will

289
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 5: for this year. Yeah, to look good, to get his

290
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 5: ret back up, so go for it. It worked perfectly.

291
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 5: It unleashed some stuff for Tyrese Maxi. He's a good

292
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 5: player with the ball, but he's even even better player

293
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: if he doesn't have to have the ball all the

294
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: time and it can just run and be athletic out there.

295
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 5: So obviously things look great for Philadelphia. How long will

296
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 5: it last? We shall see. We'll shall see what happens

297
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: in the playoffs when Embiid is not going to the line.

298
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 5: Twenty seven times, but a perfect start for the seventy

299
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: six ers and honestly just hilarious.

300
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to bring it back to like the Embid

301
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: quote of him saying like this is the best basically

302
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: guy I've ever played with in terms of getting me

303
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: the ball and the passes. I was trying to like

304
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: rack my brain and remember because in this one game

305
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: against the Knicks, there was like I guess it was

306
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: off probably a high pick and roll there, or there

307
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: was another action on the side, but Harden threw a

308
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: lob to Embid. Can you read home many times where

309
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: bead is thrown down like an alleyp off of like again,

310
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: sort of a high pick and roll action and he's

311
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: rolling and there's other act I couldn't. I was like,

312
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: I know it, don't get that.

313
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: What he did?

314
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: Did it? I know there was other lobs where Harden

315
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 5: threw it up to eimbiad and then we would like

316
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 5: have to go up and bring it down, and thought

317
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: was the one where he did.

318
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: But it was like that doesn't happen all that often.

319
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, He's like, well, that's that's hard, and Capella

320
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Rocket stays there and it's like, you know, you sort

321
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: of forget that. Of course, Joel Embiid is super ethletic, Yeah,

322
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: but he's not a lob guy.

323
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 5: No, I no, I don't think that that's going to

324
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: be a big part of their game in the in

325
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 5: the future. I think it's going to be more of

326
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 5: the pocket passes, which you saw from Harden as well.

327
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 5: And one thing I do think that was interesting, not

328
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 5: a ton of post ups for Joel Embiid. That's been

329
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: a question of how Harden is going to fit in there.

330
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: Everybody brings up Dwight Howard, but I'm sorry, Dwight Howard

331
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: and Joel Embiid. Post ups are way different at this point.

332
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 5: But honestly, if they can get by with not having

333
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 5: to post up Embiid for the rest of the regular season,

334
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 5: that's saves his body for the postseason when they're gonna

335
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 5: need him to post up, when they're gonna need him

336
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: to to just draw fouls and go to the line.

337
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know.

338
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 5: Maybe they're just gonna let Harden cook here for a

339
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 5: little bit, because that's what Doc was trying to do.

340
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 5: Running him out there with an all bench in it

341
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: did not look great. But when you have Harden, you

342
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: can at least try him with a bunch of scrubs

343
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: out there.

344
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Doc is known for really being able to

345
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 4: get the most out of supporting players throughout his career.

346
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 4: Those those guys that are I know people.

347
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 5: He's great at getting to Tobias Harris almost to the

348
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 5: All Star Game almost.

349
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 4: Well, now he's the number four guy. I mean, hit

350
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: some shots if he's still the number three guy. I think,

351
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I do. I do. Yeah, because they

352
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: need because because of the way Harden plays, because the

353
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 4: ball is in his hands all the time. Tobias Harris

354
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: needs the ball in his hands. I think to be

355
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: Tobias Harris, but MAXI can use his athleticism and just

356
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: be a direct line guy. I think it's different and

357
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: that's why EMBIID is playing differently through two games obviously,

358
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 4: but being a role guy, we just don't see that.

359
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: And that's how you get the most out of James Harden.

360
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 4: That's what he did with Clincapell. It's what he did

361
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 4: with the net centers for a bit. Yeah, I think

362
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 4: it is strange watching EMBIID. Yeah, it was more of

363
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 4: a role guy. It is very different, and Bid loves it,

364
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 4: I think because he doesn't have to bang as much.

365
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: It's totally true. But yeah, I think the recipe is

366
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: there for them to be good. But is Hardened going

367
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: to be able to be a forty minute guy? I

368
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: think that hamstring, as good as it looks now, as

369
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: good as an NBA trade can help a guy's health

370
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 4: like it did this week. Will it be great in

371
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: the playoffs? Will forty minutes of Harden driple dribble drib

372
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 4: will be great? I mean maybe Embiid plays a lot

373
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: more on the posts and those other guys have to produce.

374
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: Tobias Harris, yeah, I think he's the fourth guy.

375
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Well, they play the Knicks again, that's their next game

376
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: not till Wednesday, so Harden can wrestle hamstring. Yeah, probably

377
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: a w And then I'm just bringing up the schedule

378
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: here because again they played the Wolves, who Embiid always

379
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: owns cat. And then they played the next here twice

380
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: play the Cavaliers. They got some bigs. Interesting to see

381
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: how that goes. And then they played the Miami Heat.

382
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: With the way Bam has been playing, will be very

383
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: interestingly that team's playing, Yeah in Miami, that's on Saturday,

384
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: so they don't have a lot of games this week.

385
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: But of course you know we're we're loving it. The

386
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: honeymoon is off to a great start, as we said,

387
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: but you know it is again still here.

388
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: The Wolves line no predictable though, too, isn't it?

389
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: It is like as hardan Yes, he even said.

390
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 6: After the game win, Cassidy interviewed him, he said, Oh,

391
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 6: I took the last few weeks off to get my

392
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: buddy ride. You know, I just wanted to be ready

393
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 6: to go. But listen, this is the thing. If James

394
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 6: Hodden is able to consistently keep that switch flipped, the

395
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 6: six is. Honestly, this was a no brander to make

396
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 6: this deal, right, you know they know what they're getting now.

397
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: Trey, let's go to you next winter of the weekend.

398
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Nets had lost thirteen of fifteen heading into

399
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 5: the weekend, so any win as a big win for them.

400
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 5: But they rolled up a huge w on Saturday night,

401
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 5: beating a pretty intact Bucks team in Milwaukee, and it

402
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 5: was mostly thanks to Kyrie Irving his first game post

403
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 5: All Star. His first game in two weeks had to

404
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 5: be pretty fresh out there. Season high thirty eight points

405
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 5: for Kyrie on fifty four percent shooting, added five rebounds,

406
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 5: five assists and a couple of steals.

407
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: He was dominant.

408
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 5: I said it before, if you play once every two weeks, honestly,

409
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 5: you have to dominate when you go out, like it's

410
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 5: embarrassing if you don't. Kyrie is still awesome though, and

411
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: you know, seeing him out there playing, you're like, oh, yeah,

412
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 5: this is why the Nets are still still Somehow, the

413
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: Eastern Conference favorites Vegas wise. I thought it was also

414
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: interesting Gore and Draga's debut for Brooklyn. The line wasn't crazy,

415
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 5: six points, two of five shooting, two assists. He only

416
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 5: played fourteen minutes, but he's a playmaker, and he plays downhill,

417
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: which I think is way different, which allows Kyrie to

418
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 5: be off the ball eventually to allow Kevin Durrant to

419
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 5: be off the ball. Seth Curry not a great playmaker.

420
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 5: Patty Mills not a great playmaker, and they both kind

421
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: of go east to west more so than North south

422
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 5: Wich drags brings. I think he also plays in transition,

423
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 5: which I think is going to help the Nets get

424
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 5: some easy points. Andre Drummond was good, Seth Curry was good.

425
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 5: James Johnson was really good competing with Giannis. He made

426
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: some nice plays down the stretch, as did Drummond. They

427
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: also got the news that KD is going to be

428
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: returning soon. It feels like maybe not these next couple

429
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: of games, but he feels like he's on track for

430
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: a return. He was joking with Bucks fans on the sideline.

431
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: They told him, why don't you get a shoe that's

432
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 5: one inch short? He had a laugh about that. You

433
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 5: can tell everybody's feeling pretty good in Brooklyn. It feels

434
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 5: like Kyrie's gonna be playing home games come playoff time.

435
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 5: Obviously the vaccine stuff and are in New York is

436
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 5: kind of hard to figure out. Apparently Kyrie can now

437
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 5: come and watch games, which I think is good. That'll

438
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 5: be nice for him to get to to spectate these games.

439
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 5: But who knows what will happen in a couple of

440
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 5: months from now. But a positive weekend for the Nets

441
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 5: for sure.

442
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: Oh man.

443
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: The Kyrie highlights in this game against the Bucks. That

444
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: guy you can put him in a straight jacket and

445
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: she would still give you a twenty five it. He

446
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: just operates in no space like or when there's like

447
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: three four five guys his own other the opposition. He

448
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: just doesn't need any space to like maneuver it and

449
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: obviously still scoring. It was his best game of course

450
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: here in a long long time. It was the most

451
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: where you were like, oh, yeah, Kyrie. That's when you

452
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: watch the game and you go, oh. You hear other

453
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: players say, how the hell's carrier? Irving not one of

454
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: the seventy five great players of all time? You hear that, like,

455
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, there's multiple like current NBA players, former NBA

456
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: players that are like, he should have been on that list.

457
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, he obviously didn't make it, but you're reminded

458
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: of it when you see games like that.

459
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 6: He's a two handed player, yeah, you know, like either hand, dribbling, shooting,

460
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 6: going inside, he can do it. He spins, he twists,

461
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 6: He's very very hard to keep down. And this was

462
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 6: a legit win because in Milwaukee, of course, the Bucks

463
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 6: were at full strength, you know, they weren't missing any

464
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 6: of their major talent there and that had to come

465
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 6: back as well. Look like early on it was going

466
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 6: to turn into one of those routes almost but big

467
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 6: third quarter there and then Kyrie closing it out, So yeah,

468
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 6: very impressive stuff.

469
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: So both of these organizations task just pumped that they

470
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: made this Philly Brooklyn. Let's go.

471
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: Well, Ben Simmons ain't playing yet. That's a big part.

472
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 4: And we'll get to his schedule, his plan here for

473
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 4: the next couple weeks a little later in the show.

474
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: But yes, everybody, Jack, I think a huge question with

475
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: this net team, everybody at the top of this roster, Durant, Simmons, Kyrie, yes,

476
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: but also just the bench and the supporting cast. And

477
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant ran to the tunnel after this win, not playing.

478
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: He's in the street clothes yelling that's a Brooklyn. That's

479
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: win right there, because it felt like they are coming

480
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 4: together for sure. And the Dragons, I mean, if he

481
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: can be you know, like eighty percent of Bubble Dragons,

482
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 4: Dragic was really good in the Bubble. He's a very

483
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: talented player. He won't call Steve Nash's coach because that's

484
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 4: too weird for them, and Nash finds it weird, Dragons

485
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: finds it weird. But that he had that drive, he

486
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 4: that eurostep Scoop shot at the rim and the camera

487
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 4: pant to Ben Simmons. Ben Simon's a damn you know,

488
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 4: and that's and that's a Dragic's first game first minutes. Yeah,

489
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 4: he hasn't played it much, but he's Yeah, he's an

490
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 4: oldie and you know he pulled the the igudala of

491
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. He's pulling these moves of

492
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 4: that's that want to stay fresh, like your Jame Jimmy

493
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 4: James Harden and he is looking fresh. And yeah, the

494
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons question still a huge question. But if Durant's

495
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: coming back, sure looks like Kyrie is going to be

496
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 4: at least spectating and then playing in home games soon.

497
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 4: That's gonna happen. Yeah, there's questions, but they are being answered.

498
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: But the window is closing for this team in terms

499
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: of playing some games together. Right maybe perhaps, but but

500
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 4: the supporting cast back to them. Drummond a huge block

501
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: towards the end of the game on Yannis, and he

502
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: is their best Yannis, you know, body in the way

503
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 4: of the rim type guy. They then seth Curry and

504
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: they're just they're getting a team together at the very least.

505
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 6: I was just gonna say, with the mask mandate, I

506
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 6: believe that Kyrie and the Nets is under the private sector,

507
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 6: which isn't going to be lifted soon, but the public

508
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 6: one may be lifted in the next week or so

509
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 6: by the man.

510
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: Then there's this possibility that they could pay the fines.

511
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, but apparently Adam still was not going to lift.

512
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 6: So I don't until that private sector mandate is left

513
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 6: that I don't think you'll be playing in Brooklyn.

514
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, we'll see what about you.

515
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: Aw Man.

516
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 6: Saturday night, What a game, bullsh Grizzlies. Incredible game. I mean,

517
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 6: this game had everything.

518
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: This was a game.

519
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 6: This was a real game of basketball. I mean I'm

520
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 6: gonna start. I'm gonna start with it. That's good, right, Yeah,

521
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 6: this is a game. This is a real game of

522
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 6: basketball the highest time. I mean, I'm going to start

523
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 6: with just the sexiness because Ja Moran, I mean three

524
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 6: high forty six points, but like digging into that forty

525
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 6: six points. I mean, he devoured Vicci. He really did

526
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 6: avow him well pretty much all night. He had an

527
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 6: incredible three sixty layup, the smoothest three sixty lap. I

528
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 6: don't know how compared to the one you guys were in. Personally,

529
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 6: I think this one was sexyer ooh, I think it

530
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 6: was just.

531
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: It was I got a back cut. Yeah, that was

532
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: the crazy. I think this one was sexy here. The

533
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: crazy part is my buddy Gresh, Our buddy Gresh, Your

534
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: buddy Gresh saw both of these Jamaran three sixty layups

535
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: in person.

536
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: Oh really.

537
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: He saw the one in Memphis when we did the

538
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: road trip.

539
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

540
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: And then he was in Chicago on Saturday for this

541
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: game and you saw it. Demand crazy, It's crazy. That's

542
00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: your buddy Grish.

543
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: He's a crazy guy.

544
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: That's crazy seeing that. What's that message come through? I

545
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 4: saw both three sixty layouts year.

546
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: I like anyway, there was that.

547
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,719
Speaker 6: Then he had the Chris Paul sort of heavy dribble

548
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 6: on the fast break which just broke down the defense.

549
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 6: He had an oop in transition which he was building

550
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 6: up to from the back court sort of steal there.

551
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 6: He had a Steve Nash with that one handed, left

552
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 6: handed lay up there, and he closed out the game.

553
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 6: When the Bulls made a huge shut it looked like

554
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 6: we were getting to mar Dero's and Chicago Bulls fourth

555
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 6: quarter run.

556
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: Here.

557
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 6: Yep, DeRozan hit a couple, he hit a three. In fact,

558
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 6: he got to the free throw line. It looked like

559
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 6: it was all set up now. He did hit thirty

560
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 6: one points, but took him twenty nine shots. It was

561
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 6: actually a bad offensive shooting performance, but I think a

562
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 6: credit to that. The Grizzlies defense, I thought was pretty good,

563
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: as good as it can be. He he didn't have

564
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 6: many of those uncontested looks that he gets. There was

565
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 6: a guy at him pretty much every time. And he

566
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 6: was also due to have a bad game. I mean,

567
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 6: he's just due. He was on that wheel Chamblain numbers there.

568
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: But the Grizzlies doing all the things they've been doing

569
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 6: this season, pounding the boards, really giving themselves a lot

570
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 6: of second chance opportunity in the fourth quarter, especially when

571
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 6: it got close there, Steven Adams and Jaron Jackson, they're

572
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 6: really contesting the ball.

573
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: The points in the paint. They had sixty two I

574
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 2: believe it was, and that.

575
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 6: Fourth quarter just incredible. And I dug into the numbers

576
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 6: a little bit to get super geeky here, because Steven

577
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 6: Adams was setting some incredible Oh don't.

578
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: Do it, hit me to it. He was a dominant

579
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: screen set assists.

580
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: Do you think he had let me.

581
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 5: See here, Ja Moran scoring fifteen baskets, so give me

582
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 5: ten screen of eleven?

583
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 6: Wow, that led to twenty five points. Now, I mean

584
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 6: and that was the thing. He was coming out and Voucci. Look,

585
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 6: Vucci was trying. He's just too slow. And again jarm

586
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 6: remp most people are. He was just like, I'm coming

587
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 6: straight at you. He might stop, he might hesitate, might

588
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 6: to what. They sent Zach Lavine over to sort of

589
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 6: come and help out, and Jamn's like a final pass

590
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 6: it and Desmond Bain hits a big three.

591
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: They just out outclassed the balls in the end.

592
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 6: I mean, it was a really really impressive performance here

593
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 6: on what was a great night, and I thought some

594
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 6: really good defense, even Kyl on the last play there

595
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 6: with Demata Rosen. DeMar wasn't happy.

596
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: I don't think he had a case. I don't think so.

597
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 6: I think you got them. I think you got and

598
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 6: de Rosen got thrown out. The game was, you know,

599
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 6: over at that point anyway. But this, this is this

600
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: is what you need on a Saturday night game. Awesome,

601
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 6: awesome highlights, real real contest, the home team coming back

602
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 6: and you feel like they're going to overrun them here

603
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 6: and then the Grizzlies held firm and I was just

604
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 6: and my buddy Grin, I mean, I wish I'd known

605
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 6: that I would have put that in my notes, maybe

606
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 6: at the top of that.

607
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: Wow, what a great night.

608
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 6: But you know, great game, great game, great game, really

609
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 6: fun stuff. I mean usually when we put our winners

610
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: in you sort of look for a bigger story, and

611
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 6: I thought this was just an awesome display.

612
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: But here, here's the real tests. Let's ask the Bulls

613
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: fan they ultimately lose this game. Was this still an entertaining,

614
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: enjoyable Saturday night game of basketball or did it still

615
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: suck because your team last?

616
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: Hey I'm a sick oh man, I can appreciate the

617
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 5: Balls losen to a quality team like the Memphis Grizzlies.

618
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 5: I had Keith Perish from the Daily doing in fast

619
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 5: break Breakfast, trying to dunk on me. Oh, how can

620
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: the Grizzlies possibly go into Chicago, the first place team

621
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 5: in the Eastern Conference and be a favorites. Well, the

622
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 5: Grizzlies have a better record than the Bulls, and they're

623
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 5: healthier than the Bulls, and they beat the Bulls earlier,

624
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 5: and they're a terrible matchup because Steven Adams honestly like

625
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: he can dominate the game. He scored twelve points, which

626
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 5: is a nice scoring night for Steven Adams, but the

627
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 5: bigger number was twenty one rebounds JD. I didn't make

628
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 5: a big beef even though people.

629
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Were asking for What can I say? I was busy.

630
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 5: Once my kids went to school, I got so much busier.

631
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 5: I thought I was gonna have.

632
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: Way more time.

633
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: Oh the morning. God, yeah, I.

634
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 5: Got way more stuff to do in the mornings. Nonetheless,

635
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 5: the screens were huge and the offensive rebounds were huge,

636
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 5: because Io's the only bull who's healthy right now who

637
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 5: has any chance of sticking with John Moran. But Steven

638
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 5: Adams is such a green, great screen setter that he

639
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: even knocks like Io off off the path. Right, So,

640
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 5: now you're talking about John Ran getting downhill against Booch

641
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 5: and that's just not gonna happen for Booch. One thing

642
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 5: I didn't like from Grish's messages though, he said he

643
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 5: saw John Morant's career high regular season right O, nice,

644
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 5: which I mean, fair enough. We do have to differentiate those.

645
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 5: But I saw John Murant score forty seven points less

646
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 5: than a year ago.

647
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's his career high.

648
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 5: That's his career Yeh, that's weird.

649
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: I agree with, It's very weird.

650
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 6: But interesting On the defense there with the Sumu, who

651
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 6: did a really good job on Trey Young last week,

652
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 6: so he figures like, okay, throw him on there. They

653
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 6: tried Javonte Green. It's going to be different to see

654
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 6: how Caruso and Lonzo Ball would defend. I think those

655
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 6: guys obviously better. Speaking of Caruso, he had a pretty

656
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 6: good game on the sideline there too.

657
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: We made some news. He was looking like Doctor Evil

658
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: on the side. He was did a massive flex at

659
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: one point where it was going crazy, and then he

660
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: did the three sort of like slap himself on the head.

661
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that south a variation of Mellows Yeah,

662
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: but I wonder it's like but almost a combo of

663
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: when guys do the yeah exactly.

664
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 6: Just wasn't quite sure what he was, but he had

665
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 6: a pretty solid nod in the sort of tide sweater.

666
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 4: Yeah. I will say a screen assist should only be

667
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 4: given to a guy if the ball handler points to

668
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: him after so Jo Jay uses his screen scores. Hey man,

669
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: great screen, that's when you go.

670
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: I got that at our pickup run two weeks ago.

671
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: I said a nice screen guy came round in jumper

672
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: and he was hey, great screens. Yeah, exactly. Good screen,

673
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: thank you. I got ran over because I can't really

674
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: send a screen, but I got in the way.

675
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 5: Go prom n that jumper.

676
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: I also got to respect. John Morant took to Twitter

677
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: afterwards and said, I learned that heavy dribble at mid

678
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 4: court from CP three, and he tagged his ass love

679
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: that I love the young players respect.

680
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Is that why a bunch of like young Chris Paul

681
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: highlights started making the rounds on Twitter? And there was

682
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of like, you don't remember how Yeah? People

683
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: forget how dangerous young Chris Paul. Maybe that was why

684
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't Probably yeah, because there was a bunch of

685
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: like awesome old Chris Paul highlight Chris got a light

686
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: trending Yeah, maybe, yes, exactly.

687
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 6: People forget that Chris Poult get so bad. He's still playing,

688
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 6: He's playing some of the best bowl of his career.

689
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 4: He probably was.

690
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 2: He was runner und M v P in two thousand

691
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: and night.

692
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, world, you didn't forget Yeah?

693
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: No, no, I just people forget this guy was a problem.

694
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 6: Like I sort of the same with Derek Rose. It

695
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 6: was a big thing gone around for I don't know

696
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 6: if it's his birthday, it's not people because you're old,

697
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 6: you know, decade Ageah, people say they forget Derek Rose was,

698
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 6: but he was m v P.

699
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, he saw a lot of I think he

700
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 5: saw a lot of Derek Rose highlights this weekend.

701
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: Because they were playing in Chicago.

702
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 5: Year three for Jah, year three for Rose.

703
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Winning the m v P.

704
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: Maybe we should change it, though, people remember, people remember

705
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 5: Derek see like his best highlights, Like I do remember

706
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 5: that was awesome.

707
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's try that. I got a few winners here.

708
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: The Utah Jazz deserves some respect on this show. They

709
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: played two of the top six teams in the Western

710
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: Conference this weekend. They won both of them. Against the

711
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: Mavericks on Friday, Donovan Mitchell hit a career high seven

712
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: three pointers. I don't know. I'd have to check the

713
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: playoff stats with that. Maybe he has more in the

714
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: playoff games, may have yea, But anyway, he scored thirty

715
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: three points. He was pretty instrumental in that win against

716
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. So it was a close game. Dallas put

717
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: up one hell of a fight, but they got it done.

718
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: And then on Sunday, it was the second game of

719
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: the ABC doubleheader and they beat Phoenix and I know

720
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to the Suns playing without Chris Paul a

721
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: little bit later, but just a really good quality Jazz win.

722
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: And I mean that by like Mitchell doing his thing,

723
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: Gobert obviously contributing in his ways, and then a bunch

724
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: of other guys helping him. And in this one it

725
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 1: was Jordan Clarkson off the bench twenty two points ten

726
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen shooting key part there of that Jazz second unit.

727
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: So good wins against two of the top six teams.

728
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, in the West and House Junior, I

729
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: thought did a really admirable job on trying to slow

730
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: Devin Booker, like he was picking him up for you know,

731
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: he's slipping screens, he's making him give up the ball

732
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: multiple times. Even a Booker would get it back at times.

733
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Book are still finished with thirty, but it took twenty

734
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: four shots to get there and it was still efficient,

735
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean, twelve to twenty four. But House Junior, like,

736
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: in addition to Royce O'Neil, at least if you have another,

737
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: because we talked about they need a wing guy in

738
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: these playoff series to help try and slow the opposition.

739
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: So if he's going to give you that that effort

740
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: at the very least good stuff from him. Snyder also

741
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: just like was like, Whiteside's given us some stuff in

742
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: this game. Let's go with him a little bit more.

743
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: I thought he just coached a great game here and

744
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: the Jazz. If they hadn't lost that game to the

745
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Lakers right for the All Star Break, that would be

746
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: a nine game win streak. But you know, they lost

747
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: that one, but eight of their last nine these are

748
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: big wins. They're still jocking for position here in the

749
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: Western Conference. So a little love to Utah. I don't

750
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: have any notes on that.

751
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 6: Ha's Whiteside have an incredible sort of transition steal and

752
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 6: then threw it down for a massive dunk. Was He's

753
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 6: had an incredibly resurgent season, been very very good for

754
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 6: the Jazz, coming off the bench and just playing good minutes,

755
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 6: rebanding the ball, showing the effort, cause that's been the

756
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 6: biggest problem with him throughout his career. Is just like

757
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 6: half hot afit a lot of the time.

758
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 1: I've also got the Pelicans as a winner of the weekend.

759
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: It's looking very likely they're going to be in the

760
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: play in here. You'll be shocked if they don't get

761
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: in at this point. They killed the Lakers one twenty

762
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: three to ninety five last night. McCollum is averaging twenty

763
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: eight points per game in his seven games here with

764
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Yeah, he had like a little stretch there

765
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: in the third quarter when the Pelicans blew the doors

766
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: off this game that you know, they just took over.

767
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: They went on a twenty six to seven run. Colum

768
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: was chipping in like nine or ten of those. They're

769
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: six and four in their last ten. You know they're

770
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: they're they've improved, if you want to call that to

771
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: twenty five and thirty six. I believe here without Zion Williamson.

772
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be. They're gonna be in the play

773
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: in here. The real question will be will the Lakers.

774
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: It's gotten that bad with them and they're getting booed

775
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: in their own barn.

776
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 5: So they were just throwing like sixty foot passes. It

777
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 5: was crazy multiple times, like Lebron had one where he

778
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 5: just whipped it down the sideline. He had another one

779
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 5: where he whipped it baseline to nobody, and then of

780
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 5: course DeAndre Jordan threw it like eighteen rows into the crowd.

781
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: But what are you doing, Lakers, b B.

782
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: I think about what forty ft too far.

783
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: I'm up at it.

784
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: You don't you don't hear Lakers fans booing the Lakers

785
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: all that off. That does not happen often. I know

786
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: what happens in Philly and you know Celtics we had

787
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: on their team and stuff like that. Lakers fans boo

788
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers that few and far between though that I

789
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: can remember.

790
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: Tests they just don't care enough to boo.

791
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they were rightfully booing this team yesterday.

792
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 4: To get blown out like that. They lose two games

793
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: this weekend to teams that they could face in the

794
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 4: play in tournament, with the Clippers on Friday, which was

795
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 4: a winnable game for them, Yeah, and then watch that

796
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 4: one and then the Pels, Yeah, that was they got plasted.

797
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 4: I was gonna try and refrain from talking about them

798
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 4: too much because, yeah, it's just hard to watch this

799
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 4: team this last quarter of the season. I still don't

800
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: think they fall out of the play in tournament picture.

801
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: And I hope Lakers, yeah, yes, yes, just because of

802
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 4: what's going down outside the play in turn with the Blazers,

803
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: you know, losing a bunch of their guys out and

804
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 4: your Nurkic out and then the Spurs Kings. It doesn't

805
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 4: seem like they're going to fall out of the play

806
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 4: in picture. And then they get Anthony Davis back. And

807
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 4: that's why I'm I'm hoping for the Grizzlies to jump

808
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 4: up to the two seed. And I'm going off the

809
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: board here talking about the Pels, but I want the

810
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: Grizzlies to jump up to the warrior spot and take

811
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 4: that two seed to face a team, you know, like

812
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: the Lakers or the Pelicans in the first round rather

813
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 4: than facing a good team like the MAVs or the Nuggets.

814
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 4: You know, you know, like a chance to win them. Yeah,

815
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 4: I want them, yeah, really, I mean they could. They

816
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 4: could beat the mass with the Nuggets. The Nuggets, you know,

817
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 4: there's there's reports that Michael Porter Junior will be back shortly,

818
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 4: and then maybe even Jamal Murray back shortly. So you

819
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 4: want a first round matchup with a team that has

820
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: gone to a conference finals that would stink, rather than

821
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 4: a team like the Lakers that could give the Grizzlies

822
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: trouble because they do get a lot of offensive boards.

823
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 4: If the Lakers come back with Anthony Davis and Dwight

824
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 4: Howard there. I mean that will be a bit of

825
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 4: a negating factor. I think for the Grizzlies, they just

826
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 4: throw it up there. They're more athletic than teams. But anyways,

827
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: I think they could. They could blast through the first

828
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 4: round if they play a team like the Lakers. I'm

829
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 4: hoping for that.

830
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: If they want to play in teams, that's what you're

831
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna get.

832
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, rather than a Mavericks or Nuggets team. I'm cheering.

833
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: I'm cheering for them to jump up to the Warriors spot.

834
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: And it's only a game and a half right now too.

835
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 4: In the last column, they could easily do that with

836
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: the Warriors.

837
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Well, the debate Tray and I were having here in

838
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: the Classic Factory before you got to showed up this morning, wash,

839
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: when does Lebron just shut it down in this season?

840
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: Does he Does he just say yeah, I'm good, we're

841
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: not doing anything. This team stinks, see you later, see

842
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: you next year. But then I pushed back to Tray

843
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: sort of thinking, I was like, oh, he needs all

844
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: the points he can. He is chasing down some legends

845
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: there and Karl Malone, and.

846
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't already hold the record, or is that it.

847
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't he doesn't not the one that actually counts. But

848
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: we'll see it just be we'll be fascinating to watch

849
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: three hundred and.

850
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 5: Sixteen points from tying Carl Malone for sex on the

851
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 5: all time less. So that's then it's nap time. Then

852
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 5: it's nap.

853
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: You think I'll wait till that.

854
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 6: The only thing there is if it looks like he's

855
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 6: quitting on them, that's just gonna like.

856
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: What what's he gonna do?

857
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 5: Like show up to a game drinking a glass of wine?

858
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 5: That ridiculous game.

859
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: I think that.

860
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 6: I think if just the way everything's gone, I just

861
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 6: don't think he can say I'm also out with ten

862
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 6: games to.

863
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: Goal or whatever. I just don't think he will. Maybe

864
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

865
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: I mean they I don't know. They probably you.

866
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 6: Never know when they're going to start accidentally while they're

867
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 6: still in the plane. And again it's almost almost impossible

868
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 6: for them to drop out of the plane.

869
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: It's sort of up to the Spurs at this point

870
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: because I think the task is right. I think the

871
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: Blazers are going to be out of here in a

872
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: in a hurry, and that's because of injury, especially the

873
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: nirk one and the Kings. You can't put any trust

874
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: in the kids. Don't worry about them. Who cares. It's

875
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: the Spurs. It'll be the Spurs likelihood of catching or

876
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: even if they want to to catch a Lakers. Yeah,

877
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: you're probably right. They probably will be in there by default.

878
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny when you look at the standings, like, well,

879
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 4: maybe this team can jump in the playing tournament. All

880
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 4: those teams are ten games below five, right, That means

881
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: they have to win a lot of games. Then they

882
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: haven't done that all season long.

883
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: I always caught myself when I said the Pelicans record,

884
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: I was right.

885
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 4: They're going into the postseason, right, But yeah, they are

886
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 4: a different team with balling out and him and Brandon

887
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 4: Ingram had a conversation and said, we got to be

888
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 4: more accountable ourselves.

889
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 5: We talked about like every conversations and hasn't had showing

890
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 5: up in New Orleans. You talked to Herb John Yeah, yes, yes, yes,

891
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 5: I know, I talked to Val.

892
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh.

893
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

894
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: It's a great point, King of the check in any

895
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: other winners, So we want to slip in your.

896
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 4: First break squeeze the Cavs specifically, they're starting shooting guard

897
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 4: Isaacacorro because he's a shooting guard that doesn't shoot. He

898
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 4: is cool with that. He went out on Saturday against

899
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 4: the Wizards and Kyle Kuzma white hot throughout the game.

900
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 4: He had thirty points going to the fourth quarter and

901
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 4: he only scored six in the fourth quarter. With Isaac

902
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 4: CaCrO on because the Coro prides himself, I'm playing defense.

903
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: I don't need to be an offensive player. And the

904
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 4: Calves have to be extremely happy with that. This is

905
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 4: a guy in year two, number five pick that you know,

906
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: at this point of his career could be saying I

907
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: was the number five pick. I want more on my plate.

908
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 4: But with Darius Garland and even Caroselvert now in the

909
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 4: back court, Jared Allen and Evn Mobley, like all those

910
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 4: guys are have their own thing going on. But the

911
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 4: culture is so good that Isaacacorrol can take a back

912
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 4: seat and he just fits in. Well. It's an incredible culture.

913
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 4: And then after the game, coach JB. Bickerstaff put the

914
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 4: Junkyard dog chain on Isaaca Coro and he said, I'm

915
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 4: I love it. He went and put photos up on

916
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 4: Instagram of himself in this Junkyard dog chain. They had

917
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 4: this they do because that's what he does. He took

918
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 4: so many photos. He does a huge little roulette of

919
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 4: seven different photos of him. Yeah.

920
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: Wow, he was really proud to wear this chant.

921
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. You know, Garlands the ball handler,

922
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: he's the all star. Evan Mobley is coming on as

923
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 4: this unicorn type big who can do it all. Jared

924
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 4: Allen is doing his thank carrisel Vert again another ball handler,

925
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 4: but this guy is what exactly what they need on

926
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 4: the wing, being a defensive type stopper. Yeah, I just

927
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: it's it's just amazes me every single thing about the

928
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 4: Cleveland Cavaliers, how everything's just fitting in perfectly. And a

929
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 4: guy is wearing a chain and it ain't a hundred

930
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 4: thousand dollars chain.

931
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 5: It's yeah, you can tell. Yeah, they need to beef

932
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 5: up the chain that looks like it's made out of

933
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 5: paper clips. But he's at your yard dogs and maybe

934
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 5: that's the point though. It's like, no, No, a Junkyard

935
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 5: dog would have a much thicker chain.

936
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 4: Okay, Well I got what you're saying.

937
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 5: I'm saying of hercules, Like, wasn't it actual machine is

938
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 5: too small. It needs to be like a link that.

939
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 4: Looks like just thicker.

940
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 6: That's fine, ye, like like on a farm, the gate

941
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 6: that you just put around. So's yeah, yeah right right,

942
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 6: but we need the another one bites the dust music

943
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 6: underneath that, because that's what the j y D used

944
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 6: to come out to in wrestling back when I was

945
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 6: in the w W.

946
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: You're into it.

947
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: He came out to another one.

948
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, him and Tito Santana Heavyweight Champions Intercontinent.

949
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: I know, start you alright, it's a little of coral

950
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: love that.

951
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 4: I've got both. I've got both those action figures. Yeah,

952
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 4: bring them Tito.

953
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 6: I've got to go jyd because for like a school

954
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 6: dress update the j y D.

955
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: But he had ye just had a basic.

956
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 6: I had like cream, just like jeans, and that was

957
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 6: that was all we do.

958
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: No one knew who I. Well, I'll tell you what

959
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: you're going to be doing during the break, texting Dicky

960
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: and hey, can we get a photo of a picture

961
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: of my cream? Which ones the ones when you run

962
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: your honeymoon? All right, we've got a break. We're going

963
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: along here, but when we come back, we get two

964
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: losers of the NBA weekend. Don't go anywhere ag bebe

965
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: be man. It was all a green. All right, we've

966
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: done winners of the NBA weekend. Let's get to losers, Lee,

967
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: where do you go?

968
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to last night's late game. Dallas and

969
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 6: Golden State Warrens. Look like they're in control, up three quarters,

970
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 6: up big, and then all of a sudden it fell apart.

971
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 6: And this was huge win here, huge comeback here for

972
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 6: the Dallas Mavericks because they did most of the heavy

973
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 6: lifting with Luka Doncic on the ben bench in that

974
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 6: court on the bent.

975
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: Put some.

976
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: In that fourth quarter there. They came back. They went

977
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: on a twenty three to one. I think it's twenty

978
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: three to one. On twenty six. My computer just died,

979
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: which was great at that point note here, I thought it.

980
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: Was like twenty six to one.

981
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, So anyway, whatever it was there. The Warriors offense,

982
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 6: now there was no Clay He's out, Draymond is still out,

983
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 6: so they miss him, but they still had Steph obviously,

984
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 6: and Steve Kerr is being criticized a bit this morning

985
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 6: because honestly, their offense looked like it really didn't have

986
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 6: a whole lot of flow to it or organization.

987
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 2: They were just going down.

988
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 6: Andrew Wiggins had a couple of step backs, and Jordan

989
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 6: Paul was out there, Damien Lee firing away, and the

990
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 6: Mavericks just picked them apart. And it was Spencer Dinwidy

991
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 6: who did a lot of the good work there again

992
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 6: at the first half of that fourth quarter, hitting threes,

993
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 6: getting inside scoring without any resistance. The Warriors have the

994
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 6: best defensive efficiency. You wouldn't think so watching this game

995
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 6: last night there and then Doncic came out. I think

996
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 6: Jason Kidd kept him on the bench a little longer

997
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 6: the normal simply because that second unit was doing such

998
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 6: a great job. Then Doncic came out and closed out

999
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 6: the game with another impressive thirty one point performance. So

1000
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 6: this was a huge back win here for the MAVs

1001
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 6: on the road against the very good team after losing

1002
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 6: a close one on Friday night against the Utah Jazz.

1003
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 6: And when you again look at it, you evaluate that

1004
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 6: trait and they got Dinwitty and Davis Burton's in return

1005
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 6: for pauzingis it was more to be like someone just

1006
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 6: take pausingers. But you saw that Dinwitty in the right

1007
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 6: situation can be very helpful. And I think this is

1008
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 6: again maybe the MAVs thought about this more so, but

1009
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 6: the fact they've got another guy who can handle the

1010
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 6: ball and create for himself is what they've been really missing.

1011
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 6: You know, Brunson's okay at it. He's a different sort

1012
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 6: of guard than Spencer Dinwitty. But I thought the fact

1013
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 6: that Dinwitty got an opportunity there, especially with Doncic on

1014
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 6: the bench, to say I can get us some points,

1015
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 6: I can keep our offense moving, because that's what's been

1016
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 6: missing a lot. So great stuff by him and Davis

1017
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 6: Burton's We know he fires away. On the call last

1018
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 6: night there was a dead ball and it rolled to

1019
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 6: Davis Burton's and he fired away, and Vince Carter on

1020
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 6: the call said, Davis Burton's still just firing away, just

1021
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 6: getting the ball up even when it's the dead ball.

1022
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 6: So that's what he does. He didn't hit too many

1023
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 6: in the fourth quota folding, but overall, pretty impressive stuff

1024
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 6: from the Mets.

1025
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's in what the four games he's played

1026
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: for Dallas, Burnton's has hit three three pointers. Then he

1027
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: had won. He had a one for seven game, but

1028
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: then five for eight in the loss of the Jazz

1029
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: and then two for six in the victory last night.

1030
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: That's better than what he was doing for Washington, which

1031
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: was nothing absolutely absolutely offers most of the time. So yeah,

1032
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: he is contributing anything to add to the Warriors melt

1033
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: down there though tasks. I mean, it's weird in the

1034
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter when you are one of the better teams

1035
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: in the league. Yes, you're missing some guys, but to

1036
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: give up a twenty six to one run is embarrassing, honestly.

1037
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Warriors thirteen point fourth quarter, that eight Warrior basketball.

1038
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 4: They obviously missed Straymon Green. They haven't had him for

1039
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 4: a couple months. Good news in that he is on

1040
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 4: the floor practicing for the first time. He was in

1041
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 4: a five on zero, so that doesn't mean he's you know,

1042
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 4: in full contact mode. But he should be back shortly

1043
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 4: hopefully for them, because yeah, they desperately miss him. I

1044
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 4: think if he's on the floor, they do not lose

1045
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 4: this game. He just keeps their intensity up and that's

1046
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 4: why they have the best defense in the league. But

1047
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 4: it ain't the best defense. Without Draymond Green, They're just

1048
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 4: a totally different team. And Steve Curse says it after

1049
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 4: every game. Yeah, the stats, they were the best defense

1050
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 4: in the league, but it ain't anywhere close to the

1051
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 4: best defense right now. And yeah, Spencer did wood. He

1052
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 4: was the guy who came out off the bench and

1053
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 4: was just their number one option in the fourth quarter

1054
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 4: for a while while don Chice was out, and he

1055
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 4: schooled things for sure. And Burton's at least he's running

1056
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 4: around and being a threat out there around the arc.

1057
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 4: You know, he won't step inside that arc. He doesn't

1058
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 4: need to, but at least I kind of have to

1059
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 4: keep your eyes on him. He's got a bit of

1060
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 4: a gravitational pull right now. If he's pulling every time

1061
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 4: he touches the ball, that helps. But the Warriors, I'm

1062
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 4: yeah again, I'm hoping that Grizzly Steelers spot at the

1063
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 4: two spot because the Warriors can get dropped to three

1064
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 4: and win a couple playoffs here. They can't get to

1065
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 4: the finals. But yeah, Draymond stay out for a bit.

1066
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 4: The grizz got to take that two seed. We got

1067
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 4: to drive to Memphis and watch a team in the

1068
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 4: playoffs in the first round and maybe the second round.

1069
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 4: I think that gives the Grizzlies their best chance. Grizzlies

1070
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 4: have the tiebreaker with the Warriors.

1071
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: Too, well go Stay. Siller has the perfect segue to

1072
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: Tray's losers the weekend because he wrote tk brutal loss

1073
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: for the Warriors just as the Suns start to falter

1074
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: here for the for the first time in a long time. So,

1075
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: you know, I know they're very far behind, but the

1076
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns losing some games here in large part, dude

1077
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: to know, Chris Paul.

1078
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 5: I'm glad to hear that Skeets hadn't got around to

1079
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 5: the Ziller newsletter yet, But I was feeling like this

1080
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 5: was a little bit of a weak loser here the

1081
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 5: Phoenix Suns. You know, they've only got twelve losses on

1082
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 5: the year, two of them came this weekend. Hate to

1083
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 5: do it to you, but you got to take a

1084
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 5: loser of the weekend when you lose back to back

1085
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 5: games here. But like you're saying, kind of no harm

1086
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 5: done with the Warriors blowing their lead last night, so

1087
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 5: they're able to stay quite far ahead in the race

1088
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 5: for the one seed in the Western Conference, and it

1089
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 5: still honestly should be Phoenix unless this turns out to

1090
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 5: be a problem. Having no Chris Paul because it's been

1091
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 5: a tough start to the season or to this part

1092
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 5: of the season with no CP three for the Suns.

1093
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 5: They took care of business on Thursday against Okay, See

1094
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 5: no problem. They lost on the second night of a

1095
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 5: back to back Friday versus the Jet, versus the Pelicans

1096
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 5: on Friday, and then they lost again yesterday against the Jazz.

1097
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 5: It's only the third time this season they've lost consecutive games,

1098
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 5: and the second game came on the set the twenty

1099
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 5: seventh of the month. Every single time, that's just weird.

1100
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 5: So hopefully they don't have to play a game on

1101
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 5: the twenty seventh in the playoffs. But two things in

1102
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 5: both of these losses stick out to me. One of

1103
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 5: them not worried about at all, one of them a

1104
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 5: little bit worried.

1105
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: The one I'm not worried about.

1106
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 5: Late game execution ain't what it is when Chris Paul

1107
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 5: is on the court. They look like a team that's

1108
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 5: played one way in the clutch for two straight seasons

1109
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 5: and now they're having to figure it out on the

1110
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 5: fly without CP three making all the decisions.

1111
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: There.

1112
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 5: You saw that crazy Jake Crowder pass yesterday that could

1113
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 5: have been a Lakers pass. How far off it was.

1114
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: Afterwards, he's like, I'll be better. I think you will be.

1115
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 5: Like literally, just pass it to him or you know,

1116
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 5: Chris Paul could have called the timeout. Devin Booker could

1117
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 5: have called the timeout. Monty Williams wanted to call a timeout,

1118
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 5: but things were moving too fast. I think the Suns

1119
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 5: will figure it out, figure out how to win close

1120
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 5: games even without Chris Paul, which will honestly be beneficial

1121
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 5: long time. The thing that's more concerning to me, though,

1122
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 5: is the rebounding. New Orleans and Utah both solid offensive

1123
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 5: rebounding teams, and they both smashed the Suns on the boards.

1124
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 5: New Orleans had sixteen offensive rebounds, the Jazz had fourteen.

1125
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 5: You compare that to DeAndre Ayton. He had twelve rebounds

1126
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 5: combined in these two losses. Five on Friday Night, seven yesterday.

1127
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 5: Heard this on This Saturday Slam and Jam podcast, one

1128
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 5: of the greats out there. It's honestly, DeAndre Ayton's time

1129
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 5: to step up. With Chris Paul out, this guy's wants

1130
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 5: a max contract. He did score twenty a game in

1131
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 5: both of these losses. He shot over seventy percent from

1132
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 5: the field, but you just need to feel him more

1133
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 5: like he just needs to dominate the glass, especially against

1134
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 5: the guy like Valentiunis and Gobert who are both going

1135
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 5: to be competitive inside. He needs to really he really

1136
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 5: didn't really own the paint. But yeah, the Warriors loss,

1137
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 5: so not that big of a deal, but there's some

1138
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 5: things to be worried about for kind of the first

1139
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 5: time ever with the Suns this season.

1140
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a long time since we can say that.

1141
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: Anything to add to that, or I know, you're not

1142
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: concerned like Trey overall the one seed. Hopefully Chris comes back.

1143
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 4: And yeah, hopefully Chris comes back. I think is the

1144
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 4: is a big one, you know, I just I just yeah,

1145
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 4: I kind of just believe that he'll be back. But

1146
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 4: who the heck knows really, I mean, it is really

1147
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 4: bumping up against the end of the regular season, and

1148
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 4: so he is he's just so so important and just

1149
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 4: to yeah, keep things together because that Jay Crowder passed

1150
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 4: at the end there. That doesn't happen if Chris Paul

1151
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 4: and Devin Booker are sharing the back court and they

1152
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 4: can pass it back and forth to one another, and

1153
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 4: so instead it goes to Jay Crowder and then it

1154
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 4: goes to the people paying a lot of dollars in

1155
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 4: the second row because that was a wild wild pass.

1156
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 4: So that's that's my biggest concern, the rebounding concern. Sure,

1157
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 4: I get that, but I don't know. Chris just keeps

1158
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 4: everything together when he's out there. So I'm I'm still optimistic.

1159
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 4: And there are six games up on the Warriors. I

1160
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 4: don't think it's going to be a problem. But you know,

1161
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 4: sometimes when you have these issues, it's good. It's a

1162
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 4: good little thing to be dealing with adversity because when

1163
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 4: you win and you're and you're still not great on

1164
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 4: the boards, then you can just say, oh, we're still winning.

1165
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 4: So this is something that they can Yeah, right the

1166
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 4: ship here with six weeks left.

1167
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: Any thoughts here on.

1168
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 6: Phoenix, No, just echoing what I said that this is

1169
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 6: actually a good test for Phoenix. Now, how are you

1170
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 6: gonna handle it without Chris Paul there? Because the Pelicans

1171
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 6: have been playing really well and the Jazz you know,

1172
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 6: we know they're a better team than perhaps their record

1173
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 6: shows right now. So that was a good competition for

1174
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 6: them this weekend and they didn't pass it. So you

1175
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 6: have to sort of figure things out because you can't

1176
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 6: be so heavily reliant on Chris Paul that it's like

1177
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 6: you're a championship contended with him, and without him, anyone

1178
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 6: could sort of beat it. So we'll see how they

1179
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 6: handle these next few games here down the stretch.

1180
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: All Right, my loser of the weekend, I hate to

1181
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 1: do it, but I gotta to. It's tront of Raptors.

1182
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

1183
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: Raps played two games over the weekend, okay, and these

1184
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: were the two headlines on Sportsnet by our good friend

1185
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: Michael Greene. First one, inexplicably, Raptors look terrible in blowout

1186
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: lost to the Hornets. Followed up with suddenly and shockingly

1187
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: the Raptors look absolutely lost. It was bad. Horns beat

1188
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: them by thirty two on Friday, and then the Hawks

1189
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: beat him by twenty seven on Saturday. I was ecstatic

1190
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: that I forgot Toronto was in town on the weekend

1191
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta. I probably would have gone down to

1192
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: the game and watched it, you know, had my Raps

1193
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: gear on, maybe we would have gone together. It slipped

1194
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: my mind. I didn't realize they were here on the schedule,

1195
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: probably coming right after the All Star break. But I'm

1196
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 1: glad I didn't go. I'm glad we didn't go task

1197
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: because we got we got booed out of the building.

1198
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: Those Hawks fans, it would have been all over us me.

1199
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 5: He might have shown up on the Hawksbros. Account leaving early.

1200
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that was.

1201
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, look at the no dunksk guys walking there probably

1202
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 5: third quarter.

1203
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: And I probably would have. Look. One of the calling

1204
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: cards of this team is how hard they compete, and

1205
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't there in these games. They rolled over pretty

1206
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,959
Speaker 1: early and sort of waved the white flag. Now, no Og,

1207
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: he's pretty instrumental to this team. You know, he's not

1208
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: the guy that goes get to you twenty five or thirty,

1209
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: but he's obviously a great defender. He chips in offensively.

1210
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: He is that just sort of perfect guy that you

1211
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: plug in there and just steadies a rotation. He's gone,

1212
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: and I believe he's getting, you know, word from a

1213
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 1: specialist regarding his finger. We'll see how serious it is.

1214
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: I think he's got a fracture there in his ring

1215
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: finger on his shooting hand. So we'll find out. But

1216
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: you had friend Vanleiet. He's a little hobbled here, you know,

1217
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't play a whole lot in the All Star Game.

1218
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: Eight minutes.

1219
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, to shooting that he's not right. He's not right,

1220
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 4: and it's questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.

1221
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: And he probably shouldn't play. But this is bad. These

1222
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: were bad losses, of course, to two teams that the

1223
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 1: Raptors are like competing with here when you when you

1224
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: look at the standings in the Eastern Conference standings, I

1225
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: mean there are a couple of games back from the

1226
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: Celtics who are still cooking here despite I guess losing

1227
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: to Indiana there on some day if I have that right.

1228
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: So I was a good win from Indiana. But you

1229
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: know they're they're only a little bit up on the Nets.

1230
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: You got the Hornets and the Hawks, two teams they

1231
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: just lost too, right on their tails. So these were

1232
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: bad bad Remember in early February, the Raptors were the

1233
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: hottest team in the league and suddenly, like Grange is

1234
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: writing here, you know, getting cranked. I mean this should

1235
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: have been like two thirty point line.

1236
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 6: Really yeah, And I just wonder if those minutes that

1237
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 6: Fred has played are of becoming a factor, because he

1238
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 6: looks like he is a bit slower out there, and

1239
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 6: you know that can potentially be what happens when you

1240
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 6: play all those heavy minutes early on, just get these

1241
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 6: niggling injuries that weigh up and you just don't have

1242
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 6: the same legs. So interested to see what Nick Nurse

1243
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 6: does that. I don't think you should play at all

1244
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 6: either tonight.

1245
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 4: I would rest now, but it doesn't look there.

1246
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 6: More concern is just how easily especially the Hawks, I

1247
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 6: mean Trey Young had easy forty one points and eleven

1248
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 6: assists without lighting them up from downtown as well. So yeah,

1249
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 6: you get smoked by twenty plus in both games.

1250
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 2: There's a concern there.

1251
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: This is the less is marked the first time in

1252
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: ten years that Toronto had last consecutive games by twenty points.

1253
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: That's wild again, that's start coming from Michael Green's over sports.

1254
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: That crazy. So there had to be a loser of

1255
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: the weekend task.

1256
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 4: We had to do it to them, No they Fred

1257
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 4: Fred is definitely the worrisome part. Yeah, plays a lot

1258
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 4: of minutes. He is there. Yeah, their heart and soul

1259
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 4: in terms of you know, just bailing them out all

1260
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 4: the time, and then whenever there was a whistle he

1261
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 4: just looked like he couldn't move all that well. I mean,

1262
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 4: he just looked like he was stiff, and he talked

1263
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 4: about that week that going into the All Star Game,

1264
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 4: how physically he wasn't feeling right. You know. That's why

1265
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 4: I tried to pawn him off you when we were

1266
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 4: doing our three point contest draft. I said, you take

1267
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 4: him because the knee ain't right, and he said he

1268
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 4: would feel so much better if he did rest through

1269
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 4: that week. So he's he's very important. Yeah, Pascal, you know,

1270
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 4: has carried the load in terms of being the secondary

1271
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 4: ball handler. He's been amazing at that. But I mean

1272
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 4: they have like a quarter of a thread out there,

1273
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 4: and no og on this team that is, you know,

1274
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 4: fairly top heavy, and that they don't go deep. So

1275
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 4: that's it stinks. Let's see some Malachi Flynn out there tonight.

1276
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a Malachai fan, even if he isn't.

1277
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: He hasn't been very good.

1278
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 4: Louis has not been very good. There's some flashes, but

1279
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 4: it's about they need to rest him.

1280
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: They have back to back games here versus the Brooklyn Nets,

1281
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: the Reps.

1282
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, as you said, who are chasing them?

1283
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, So these are these are big, big games here,

1284
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: and it's it's not looking good and they have a

1285
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: slim margin when they even are healthy. Really is with

1286
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: this Raptors team and now you got these injuries to

1287
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: their guys, it's not looking good. What about you, tasks?

1288
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: Who you got for a loser the weekend?

1289
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna say it's us. Huh, Yes, because we

1290
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 4: were thinking about going to Philadelphia. The Brooklyn Nets would

1291
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 4: be venturing into Philadelphia their first game on March tenth

1292
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 4: after the huge trade. But I don't think we're going

1293
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 4: because Shamsherani have. The Athletic reported this weekend that netstar

1294
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 4: Ben Simmons I'll quote Shams here, netstar Ben Simmons is

1295
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 4: dealing with back sore nets in reconditioning process that requires

1296
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 4: further strengthening of the area over a period of time

1297
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 4: before return to action. I said all those words because

1298
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 4: I wanted to quote Chaps. Really, what this is saying

1299
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 4: is soreback not returning anytime soon, and I think he's

1300
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 4: gonna need a few games under his belt. He's gonna

1301
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 4: want a few games under his belt before playing the

1302
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 4: Sixers again on March tenth. I gotta believe that, and

1303
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 4: he's just going to want to be on the court

1304
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 4: for a couple of games. If you look at the

1305
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 4: schedule here, they have, as we said, two games against

1306
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 4: the Raptors Monday, Tuesday, as we record here today and tomorrow.

1307
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 4: Obviously not playing in those games. Thursday against the Heat,

1308
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 4: not playing in that game because he's he's if he's

1309
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 4: injured and he has backstness. The first game I think

1310
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 4: he could return for could be Sunday, but I don't

1311
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,479
Speaker 4: think that's even happening. And then there's only one game

1312
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 4: before the Sixers game, which is Tuesday. So I just

1313
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 4: highly doubt he's playing, and I highly doubt no dunks

1314
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:42,400
Speaker 4: is taking their business trip go see Ben Simmons play

1315
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 4: against the Philadelphia seventy six ers for the first time,

1316
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 4: because I don't think he is playing, And I.

1317
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: Would add to that that I highly doubt he has

1318
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: a back injury.

1319
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 4: Interesting, I mean, but what about just not having played

1320
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 4: for a year and a half till you go run,

1321
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 4: you know, and any.

1322
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 6: Suprisings to be working at six days a week getting

1323
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 6: himself right. I you know, you talk about these games,

1324
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 6: there's only twenty one regular season games to go. There's

1325
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 6: not that much time for him. He's going to miss

1326
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 6: by the sounds, but here minimum of ten of these,

1327
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 6: which gives him potentially ten to get back and then

1328
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 6: the playoffs. So I think it's not beyond the realm

1329
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 6: of possibility that we actually don't even see.

1330
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: The real question.

1331
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 4: I think I heard that would be wild.

1332
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 6: But if he's listen, I don't know about the back injury,

1333
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 6: maybe it's legit, maybe it's not. But if he's still

1334
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 6: weeks away from just he hasn't been doing five on five.

1335
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 6: We heard that last week from Steve Nash. So you

1336
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 6: figure's got to get over the injury first. Then he's

1337
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 6: got to get to a position where he's doing five

1338
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 6: on five, and then they've got to.

1339
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: Get him in.

1340
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 6: There might only be by that point four or five

1341
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 6: games of the reekud scenes you want to bring him

1342
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 6: in and then bring him to play. Maybe I'm not sure, though,

1343
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 6: I think an interesting question.

1344
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: Let's see, let's just say hypothetically that he is healthy

1345
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: and you know, he is good to go and play

1346
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: basketball because he's been off for a while, he's very fresh. Actually,

1347
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: would it be smart for the NETS organization to rip

1348
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 1: the bandid off and have him play in Philadelphia? Not

1349
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: only see you guys can make the trip there and

1350
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: really enjoy the game, give us some great content, or

1351
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: in fact, no, you do you avoid that game like

1352
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: the plague. You know, he has the mental issue, the

1353
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: mental hurdle that he has to get over with the

1354
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: Philadelphia crowd and all that. We know that would be

1355
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: a thing that would happen there, but you actually don't

1356
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: bring him back for that game. And yeah, maybe you

1357
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: play him and you see them in the playoffs and

1358
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: you got to cross that bridge when you cross that bridge,

1359
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: but you don't do that, because I think that's an

1360
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: interesting debate if again, that's what's really going on here, Trey.

1361
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: Do you just say, hey, at some point, man, you're

1362
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to do it, so just do it now

1363
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: in March ten, or no, what we don't want to

1364
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: do that we don't want to, like, you know, add

1365
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: a wrench to this plan of even getting him back here.

1366
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1367
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 5: I think Ben Simmons didn't want to play in front

1368
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 5: of the Philly fans when he played for Philly, so

1369
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 5: I think it's highly unlikely they will start him his

1370
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 5: first game in Philadelphia as an appointment as an opponent.

1371
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 5: I thought the second Shams update was also very interesting.

1372
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 5: He says it's uncertain whether the three time All Star

1373
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 5: will clear return to play hurdles for the nets March

1374
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 5: ten return trip to Philadelphia. That to me is the

1375
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 5: Nets kind of like setting the stage. He's gonna miss

1376
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 5: this game. We're even putting a date out there. We

1377
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 5: don't know if he's gonna be back, and honestly, it's

1378
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 5: probably the smart decision. They should go as slow as

1379
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 5: they possibly can, just say, hey, watch what James Johnson

1380
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 5: is doing, Watch what Bruce Brown is doing. That's all

1381
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 5: we need from you.

1382
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: This season, will.

1383
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 5: Build you up next year to be a full part

1384
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 5: of this team. You're gonna be a role player this

1385
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 5: year and see what he can actually give him. Because

1386
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 5: I went on a date with my wife on Friday night,

1387
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 5: started talking about this potential trip, and then I explained

1388
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 5: like everything that's happened with Ben Simmons since the playoffs

1389
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 5: last year. Wow, I mean we were on a date

1390
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 5: for like an hour and a half, and when we

1391
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 5: talked about Ben Simmons for a brutal, brutal, brutal that

1392
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 5: the tacos were great, but yeah, it just seems unlikely

1393
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 5: that they're gonna be like, yeah, you're healthy, And I agree.

1394
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: He hasn't played in the NBA for.

1395
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 5: A long time, so he certainly needs to get his

1396
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 5: conditioning up to up to snuff. And it probably isn't,

1397
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 5: but he probably could get there in time if he

1398
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 5: really wanted to. But which is it ain't gonna happen.

1399
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 5: He's gonna come back against the Knicks. It's a home game.

1400
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 5: That's an easy game. Yeah, play against the Knicks. You're

1401
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 5: gonna look good.

1402
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. And then it's you know, fourteen or fifteen games

1403
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 4: that they have left and yeah, yeah, it's enough.

1404
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: For Okay, hold on, Does this not worry you though? Yeah?

1405
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point you're gonna have to play Philadelphia,

1406
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: probably in the playoffs. Well, but but maybe they do.

1407
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: It's a possibility that they would match up in a

1408
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: first round playoffs, seria, maybe a sigon round, serree. So

1409
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: my point is, like, you're good, let's say you're gonna

1410
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: play them. Would you rather this happen in a playoff

1411
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: game where you gotta face the boo birds and you

1412
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: gotta face the music a little bit, or would just

1413
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 1: do it now and sort of get it over with

1414
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: and then get on with the rest of the season,

1415
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: get your reps in, and then the playoffs. With the playoffs,

1416
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's an interesting question to me, and I

1417
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: can I can be convinced both ways that no, don't

1418
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: do that because the guy hasn't even played with this

1419
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: team really yet, or yeah, do it because you are

1420
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: a basketball player. You're gonna get booed in Philly. Take

1421
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: it on the chin and let's go and like and

1422
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: then let's go shut them up and let's go try

1423
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: and win a championship. I mean, which one do you

1424
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: side on? It sounds like you said with these guys,

1425
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe don't play.

1426
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 4: He's not ready to play. The shaves and it's not

1427
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 4: leaked to Sham's uh over this weekend in the about

1428
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 4: the future here about twelve days in the future, because

1429
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 4: he's anywhere close ready to play. He just is not

1430
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 4: ready to play. These two tweets the follow up tweet,

1431
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 4: they're from Trede the Tree Mansion there. It's it's an

1432
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 4: indicator that there ain't any chance he's playing on March ten.

1433
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree with you, guys, because they're adding the

1434
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: back injury into this. You could have just went with

1435
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: the reconditioning, but then people would have been said, what

1436
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: do you mean, March tenth is still, you know, a

1437
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 1: week and a half away, so you can get your

1438
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 1: conditioning up. But they had that back part and then

1439
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: you're right, they're even talking about the.

1440
01:01:56,040 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 4: Date they double down by sources are coming back. Yeah,

1441
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 4: so yeah, there's there's zero chance. That's the unfortunate part

1442
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,439
Speaker 4: is that he's just not ready to play. And yes

1443
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 4: he's a basketball player, when is it going to happen?

1444
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 6: And that's the thing, Like the trade happened three weeks ago.

1445
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 6: He said he was staying fit and healthy and working out,

1446
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 6: So why isn't he playing?

1447
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 4: It's an unprecedented situation.

1448
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 6: Like James Harden, he was also out, but he's back

1449
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 6: looking great. I mean, and I don't want to quit.

1450
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 6: I don't know about the back injury. Who knows if

1451
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 6: it's real or not. And maybe it is part of

1452
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,959
Speaker 6: the reconditioning. But if you were keeping yourself in great

1453
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 6: physical shape and it's been three weeks and now you're

1454
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 6: sort of behind schedule, what was he doing it? That's

1455
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 6: the question I'm I mean, he obviously wasn't keeping himself ready.

1456
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 6: If a little bit of conditioning work has gotten him

1457
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 6: an injured back already.

1458
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 2: That's what it sounds like to me. It sounds like

1459
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: he was like lifting.

1460
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: What people saying he has the back injury because he

1461
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: hasn't been playing basketball.

1462
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he said he was keeping himself.

1463
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 6: Man's it's it's weird jugging the game, that's right.

1464
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: That's like we don't need to like he should that

1465
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: he's doing. And that's a little alarming me. It is

1466
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: because I thought the opposite was going to happen, and

1467
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: we had this to be Remember, before the trade, I said, no,

1468
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: he's going to get treated and then he's going to go.

1469
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: You know what, you don't think you threw me under

1470
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the bus after I didn't take a shot because I

1471
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: didn't do this in the playoffs. Well, f you watch this.

1472
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to do that broke and

1473
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you it appears ratefully. We were saying, I don't know

1474
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: if he's wired that. I just don't know how.

1475
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 6: He says to Kevin Durant, Yeah, I'm not playing in Philadelphia.

1476
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant's like, that's what I'm saying. I know. I went.

1477
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 6: I was called cupcake people dressing up his cupcakes. When

1478
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 6: I went back to OKC and I left as a

1479
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 6: free agent after taking them to the finals. You know,

1480
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 6: Kyrie Irving, he's played in hostile environments where he's left teams.

1481
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't just not play because you're like,

1482
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 6: I just don't want well game.

1483
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: Kyrie actually dodged a lot of those games too.

1484
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he when he did, he dodged a lot

1485
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 5: of Cleveland games for sure.

1486
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, always not playing, but he's played. Yeah, but he's playing. Yeah.

1487
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 2: Anyway, look your first game, you can't just be like no.

1488
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Thanks, Yeah.

1489
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think the reason why you thought that he

1490
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 4: would come out and play against the six Ers is

1491
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 4: because this is the first time I think you can

1492
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 4: ever point to a situation like this. I mean, I

1493
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 4: just don't think this has happened before. So usually a

1494
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 4: basketball player, yeah, under contract to play plays I mean

1495
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 4: not usually nine percent of the time. That's why you

1496
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 4: expected him. After he was dealt, he got what he

1497
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,919
Speaker 4: wanted to be on the court, and the whole will

1498
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 4: he play if Kevin Durant plays, I think is another factor.

1499
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 4: He sure seemed like corner reports if KD was out

1500
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 4: there that he was going to play now and now

1501
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 4: KD is going to return. I mentioned the games. Yeah,

1502
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 4: unlikely you know, today or tomorrow, but yes, Thursday or Sunday.

1503
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 4: So if he was tied to him, then then he

1504
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 4: could play and have plenty of time to you know,

1505
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 4: be at close to one hundred percent for the Philadelphia game.

1506
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 4: So that's surprising to me. If KD comes back and

1507
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 4: Ben still isn't ready to play, I mean that just

1508
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 4: speaks to everything that's going on with Ben Simmons because

1509
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 4: it's an unprecedent the situation. You know, it's the mental

1510
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 4: health issues. There's a lot that we don't know about

1511
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 4: obviously that that he's dealing with. Because this has not

1512
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 4: been seen in the NBA before. This is just it's

1513
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:11,439
Speaker 4: one of a kind.

1514
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple other just mini losers of the weekend.

1515
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. I gotta give it to the

1516
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: Hornets because they're now zero and six in overtime games

1517
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: this season, because they lost to a Kelly Olynyk fadeaway

1518
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: baseline jumper in overtime at the Buzzer as the Pistons

1519
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: beat them one. I mean, these are six losses. Even

1520
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: if you win three of these, you split your overtime games. Here,

1521
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're feeling a lot better about your playing

1522
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: chances and getting in the playoff picture and all that.

1523
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: I know they're still there and they could still make it,

1524
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,400
Speaker 1: but man, this is this is bad. These are just bad,

1525
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: bad losses and it keeps happening. Just so sorry, Charlotte

1526
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: fans got to do it to you. And then just

1527
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: I'll slip this in here. We don't need to do

1528
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: ten minutes on it. But Charles Oakley, Charles Oakley telling

1529
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, here's the post headline. Charles Oakley.

1530
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: Jannis would have been a bench player when I played.

1531
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: And he said this on a podcast and I don't

1532
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: know if he's got a book coming out or something

1533
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 1: like that, but it's like, uh, I don't think that's true.

1534
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: I don't listen. I don't think this is true.

1535
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 6: Jannis was only born in nineteen ninety what two.

1536
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying he's taking it very literally, right, Yeah,

1537
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: he's just a baby.

1538
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not starting a three year old. I wouldn't

1539
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 2: think in.

1540
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: The at least coming off the bench. Yeah, he said

1541
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: full quote here.

1542
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 5: This is.

1543
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah again, this is Oakly talking about Yiannest. He wouldn't

1544
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: have been a force back in the day. He would

1545
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: have struggled. They would make him shoot jump shots. He

1546
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing a hero step to the basket. Somebody's

1547
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna knock his head off. He'd come off the bench

1548
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: back in the day. I just like, I know this

1549
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: happens all the time. The old the oldies, the old

1550
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,560
Speaker 1: farts say, oh, back in my day, you wouldn't be

1551
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: able to get away with this. But it is weird that,

1552
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 1: like all the guys you're gonna pick, You're gonna pick Giannis,

1553
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: the guy that plays some of the most physical basketball.

1554
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: I would think, I don't think I'm going out on

1555
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: a limb here like in today's game. I think he

1556
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: would have fit in just fine.

1557
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 5: The one guy he's compared to all the time is

1558
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 5: Young Shak who made the Top fifty players of all

1559
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 5: time after four.

1560
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: Gets what are you doing?

1561
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, Gianni's I guess, defensive player.

1562
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 2: There he is.

1563
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 6: So maybe Charles thinks he's not good offensive player, but

1564
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 6: he's got two MVPs A Championship Finals MP fifty points

1565
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 6: in game seven? What did you shoot seventeen for nineteen

1566
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 6: from the free throw line? I think Giannis would be okay.

1567
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 6: If Charles Aikey was matching up on him. Honestly, I

1568
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 6: think so too, honestly, Yeah, I know. Charles is a

1569
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 6: physical Guy's got a reputape for being a tough guy.

1570
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 6: Jannis would just do that gigantic step around him and

1571
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 6: just laid up.

1572
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he wouldn't have done that. He would have

1573
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: got a right knock.

1574
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 5: I do like the idea why he wouldn't have done

1575
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 5: the euro step because it hadn't been invented. He would

1576
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 5: have no moves anyway. I'll try a quick mini loser fork.

1577
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 5: It's one of my favorite lines of the year. Jalen

1578
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 5: Suggs six fouls and six turnovers in fifteen minutes. He

1579
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 5: made one shot from the field and it was a

1580
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 5: oop off the glass to himself.

1581
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll how you do it?

1582
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 5: Three points one of five shooting, went one for two

1583
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 5: from the line, six files, six turnovers and still throw

1584
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 5: an ooper.

1585
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: Did Ricky Davis ever do that?

1586
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 2: Even?

1587
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: That's a great question. That's a very question, just like

1588
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: line and move there maybe yeah.

1589
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. A few players have filed out faster as starters

1590
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 5: than fifteen minutes. That was pretty close. I think he

1591
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:25,879
Speaker 5: was the third fastest fiulout for a start.

1592
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 2: What's up there with the yeah.

1593
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Oh, and so to go back to this Simmons maybe

1594
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,440
Speaker 1: playing March tenth, you guys are not going to questionable

1595
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: still questionable, questionable.

1596
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: What happens if he says, you know what, I'm fine,

1597
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 2: the back's going on?

1598
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, what a what a middle finger to you guys? Well,

1599
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm ready if he does. If you're like, okay, by

1600
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: all reports, he's not going to play, and then like

1601
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 1: twenty four hours before the game, eight hours before the game.

Speaker 2: I'm ready. I've got ready to start a jacket. Ready,

01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 4: Already packed, the answer.

01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,320

01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 5: so bummed.

Speaker 6: pucket thing I've ever read. Shack at Shack because Shack.

1624
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,720

1625
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: bathroom in bucket and pour it on rookies. That's gross,

1626
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 2: That's absolutely disgusting.

1627
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:21,759
Speaker 4: There's no way that happened.

1628
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 2: And that's the thing I actually, I mean, you couldn't do.

1629
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 6: That, So yeah, why why couldn't you do Someone would

1630
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 6: just say, like, that's like stepping over the line.

1631
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, that's shack, you're a rookie.

1632
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 4: It was.

1633
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:39,200

1634
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 1: pour it on somebody. Yeah, everybody's don't do that. I

1635
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: don't have a good lafe anymore. I mean, you know,

1636
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 1: would you like that to be horrible? Yeah?

1637
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, well.

1638
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 4: It was a bucket for a week he kept there

1639
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 4: at the bucket for a week. I was reading the story.

1640
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: That's somehow worse. I don't know why it's worse.

1641
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 4: It's not worse, it's not what it's better to have one.

1642
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Is this like a fuller sur foster?

1643
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 4: I'm guess. Want to make sure you think it's No,

1644
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 4: I don't think.

1645
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so this is this is a piss

1646
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: bucket from Shack.

1647
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean that's a little that's horrible.

1648
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 5: See for me, it's like it's fun. One drop a

1649
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 5: shack piss no different than a million dropped the shack piss.

1650
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 5: Any of it's bad, Okay, So I would rather be soaked.

1651
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 4: That I don't want to not wash his clothes off.

1652
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 4: That's all.

1653
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, wash, wash up, they get softer.

1654
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm did you read the story? You read the whole

1655
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: story or heard the whole Gary Payton story?

1656
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 4: No, I saw it. I saw it. I thought it

1657
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 4: was Shack had a bucket there for a week and

1658
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 4: just use it as his collector for everything that came

1659
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,719
Speaker 4: out of his body and then poured it on somebody.

1660
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 4: That's what I thought Gary Payton was insinuating. But you

1661
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 4: know these nineties stories, they Okay, this is this is

1662
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 4: the two thousand, This is when Gary Payton was his teammates.

1663
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 4: He was only a teammate in the two.

1664
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: Thousand, Yeah, right right true.

1665
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 4: Later later in's career, when things were a little more

1666
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1667
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: People are starting to like get a little more serious

1668
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: about people throw a pists on each other. Yeah, but

1669
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: you can sometimes get away with it.

1670
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Tray's only urine makes a little more sense.

1671
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,560
Speaker 4: Oh oh, if you're trying to make sense of this

1672
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 4: stupid story.

1673
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the bucket was in the shower. Yeah,

1674
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,640
Speaker 1: I think that's where the sur fosters were happening. And

1675
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 1: then I think when the rookie came into the shower,

1676
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 1: it happened in a shower area. Gotcha. And then you know,

1677
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: that's great.

1678
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 2: What was that?

1679
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 1: That was my piss?

1680
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like then you're wa washing it straight off.

1681
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:56,719
Speaker 1: It's okay, that's cool.

1682
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 4: Now, yeow, it's it's not highly unbelievable. We worked with

1683
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 4: you know, we were I do the story of this.

1684
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 4: We worked around shack his cloth, his clothes. It would

1685
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 4: just be hanging out, you know, he would he would finish.

1686
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 4: We worked on every day. We'd come in in the mornings.

1687
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 4: He would work Thursday nights. Sometimes you'd come in, you'd

1739
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: It's a loss for Tasks is what's really important here,

1740
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: because that loss dropped Task to four and ten in

1741
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: the month of February. I'm tied with Lee at ten

1742
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: and four and then Tray seven and seven. There's only

1743
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:55,519
