Speaker 5: Again, thanks for letting me join you before things get

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 5: too crazy. I mean, I juggle about a million sports now,

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 5: but I think if someone like The Athletic told me

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 5: I'm still an NBA writer, whether I like it or not.

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 6: At heart, the NBA writers coming, are you? Are you excited,

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 6: like that first night of preseason action. Really, I don't

25
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 6: know if it was the first night, but it was

26
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 6: the first one that I was paying attention.

27
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: I guess technically it would have been what the Nixon

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: Celtics was that the first showdown. Yeah, I'm exactly what

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: the wise Kevin Garnett said in a tweet when he

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: said Wemby and Chet looked like two created players last night.

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: Future is bright I part with but yeah, yeah, which, yeah,

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: I mean I did. Chet Holmgren had something to say.

33
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean these every clip I saw I was I

34
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: was like cheering, which is wild. I've never done that

35
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: to like going like okay, like stuff like that.

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: It's been watching YouTube highlights on oh Twitter, Yeah yeah.

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: And being like okay, okay, so I see what you're doing.

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Now that's just me talking to my cell phone in

39
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. But yeah, every single every

40
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: single highlight was was was out of this world. Jason,

41
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: How did how did you feel? What were your expectations

42
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,279
Speaker 1: going into watching this Wenby.

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: Versus Chet showdown? And how did it? How did you

44
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: how did you take it in?

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 5: See, I have zero expectations about preseason anything.

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's why, you know, I just I'm.

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 5: More so just kind of you know, you peek in

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: and see, Okay, well how do they look comfortable? And

49
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: for me, you know, check gave us really teased us

50
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 5: for like a minute last year before you for the injury.

51
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 7: M hm, And now I was just more so.

52
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 5: Wow, it's like you much about how long and athletic

53
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 5: Wemby is, Like, well, Chet's like like like two career

54
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: like there, Chet's not that far off.

55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 7: Wise, You're like, wow, this is crazy.

56
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're entering at the same time.

57
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

58
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: Two guy, like two just wildly skilled guys over seven

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: feet tall. Yeah, it's like like watching two video game guys.

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, truly.

61
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean like this one play just Wenby with the

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: steal to a perfect alleop.

63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, came through scoops, it throws it behind his back,

64
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 6: perfect value that his teammate managers to couldn't finish.

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: Okay, a little bit of a bummer there.

66
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: And then this one too, I look real right, especially

67
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: this play when he gets crossed up. I'm using like

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: every other player is left for dead and then he

69
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: recovers and then it's a block.

70
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 6: So this was this was the key one for me

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 6: because I I saw this he gets completely beat defensively

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 6: and then recover for a block, and I was like,

73
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: all right, let's dig in. I picked I picked him

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 6: preseason for Defensive Player of the Year just watching him

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 6: in the Summer League, and like how nobody wants to

76
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: shoot when he's on the court. Everybody like within a

77
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 6: six foot radius of him is just trying to get

78
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 6: away from being in a six foot radius of him,

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 6: and he like changes shots that he's not even close to.

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 6: So I was like, all right, let's see how many

81
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 6: blocks he got. And that was the only block he

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 6: got in the whole game, which maybe at first I

83
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 6: was like, that's weird, but we think about it the

84
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 6: only that that might have been the only time anyone

85
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 6: was willing to shoot around him, and it was after

86
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 6: somebody like blew past him and was like, well, surely

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 6: he can't block this, Like he's he has like trick

88
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 6: people into shooting in his vicinity in order to actually

89
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 6: get a block, so that I don't know that that

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 6: was wild to me.

91
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: I think overall too.

92
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Like I mean, we saw when we were in Vegas

93
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: for NBA, we got to see Wemby's first, you know,

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Summer League game, and that was it's completely different, but

95
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: it was like night and day like he when I

96
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: look at the performance from against the Thunder first of

97
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: what we saw against Portland, it felt like he was

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 1: probably like I guess, nervous or something. In the summer

99
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: he looked so much more like secure in his physicality

100
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: and his movements and things than just like a couple

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: of months ago that I was like, Oh, wow, like

102
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: he's he's coming into it.

103
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: I think summer league can be some of the worst

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 5: ways to gauge a big guy, especially, Yeah, you know

105
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 5: those teams are you've got guys on the floor which

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 5: you're trying to get jobs elsewhere. You know, he just

107
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 5: got off a plane and been in the States for like,

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 5: you know, a month, and he really hasn't played yet.

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 7: So I always kind of.

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Britney Spears is bothering him in the casino.

111
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

112
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 5: I I never put too much into what I see,

113
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: especially from a big guy in Summer League, because it's

114
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: just that's not conducive to them, that that you can

115
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 5: tell watching that you know he's with the with the

116
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: actual team NBA players, they've got a system that he

117
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 5: can run. It's still crazy, like watching him dribble like

118
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: that go but he goes on in the back. It's like, yeah,

119
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: you're not supposed to be able to do it that high.

120
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 6: His handle is real legit like it with like just

121
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 6: watching him play in you know, in the internet, like

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 6: before Summer League, you know last year, his hand like

123
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 6: that he can put the ball. He's so tall that

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 6: it is like sort of a liability for him to

125
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 6: put the ball on the floor, but he really can

126
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 6: do it, like when he has to.

127
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 4: He really is a is a great ball handler.

128
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: For I should I should take your wisdom into account, Jason,

129
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: because after that match, I remember walking out of the

130
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: Thomas and Maximum like this guy's cooked.

131
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is your.

132
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: King, Okay, I see, And then you know, I realized,

133
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: not the best place to assess somebody, especially someone that

134
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: is seemingly some one of these generational talents who's changed,

135
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: like about to change sort of the way we view basketball.

136
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, never forget Anthony Randolph cooked everyone in Summer League

137
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 5: one year and then never saw no shade to Anthony Randolph.

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 5: But you get points exactly, can't you know what? There's

139
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: like a list of Summer League all like Hall of

140
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: famers who just didn't get any traction in the league.

141
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: Right, right, right?

142
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you what are your expectations now

143
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: for Wemby. I get it you're not taking much stock

144
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: in terms of what you've seen so far preseason, summer league,

145
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: et cetera. But what what what are what? What are

146
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: you expecting? What do you think we the most we

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: can expect from Wemby in this first team?

148
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: I think, you know, I don't know about the team.

149
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: I think he'll probably you know, he's almost he'll probably

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: win Rookie of the Year because they will get plenty

151
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 5: of opportunities on that team. And usually I always go

152
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: with a smaller player for Rookie of the Year. It's

153
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 5: because they they're going to have the ball, right, you know.

154
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 5: But I think him being in San Antonio, you know

155
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 5: they're going to run. You know, you're not going to

156
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 5: get a rogue. You no Devin Vassel going to say,

157
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm giving him the ball. You know

158
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: you're not going to have you and they're not going

159
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 5: to freeze him out do anything crazy.

160
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 7: They're going to run stuff.

161
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: At highlights what he does well, he'll make an impact

162
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 5: on defense, just because you know what is he seven

163
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: to five seven whatever?

164
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 7: You know, it's right, and he's young.

165
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 5: He might be longer than you last remember, Yeah, you

166
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: know he'll make an impact. I don't know if the

167
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: team will be any good in the sense of like

168
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 5: being a playoff team. But you know, I mean someone's

169
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 5: saying he'll be an All Star. I'm like, I'm not

170
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: going to put that on him. You know, this is

171
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 5: just you know, he's he's still got to have a

172
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 5: learning curve. I'm interested to see what happens when he

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: plays against guys going to be physical with him, right.

174
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 6: I think the highlight that I was most impressed by

175
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 6: was like Wemby coming across the lane like scoop shot

176
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 6: was something I don't think i'd seen from him like that.

177
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: That was I don't know that was good.

178
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: I think we've seen everything that's like, Okay, this guy's big,

179
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Like we get it. But then when you see these

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: sort of like other finesse elements, you're like, I think

181
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: the ball moved like fourteen sinse.

182
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it really doesn't make any sense, and I don't

183
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: like it.

184
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 5: He could like be on one side of the restricted

185
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 5: circle and go around someone with a scoop shot to

186
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 5: the other side of the circle.

187
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: Yeah right, never touch them exactly.

188
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, yeah, this is I'm I'm very

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm very excited.

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, like what, okay, So Jason, who are you thinking? Where?

191
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: What do you think the first test is going to

192
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: be for Wenby in terms of like who who You're

193
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: really going to be? Like, that's a matchup. I want

194
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: to see that. I'll begin to really draw some data from.

195
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 7: Uh, I don't know what I'll get.

196
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 5: I want to see him go against Giannis mm hmmm,

197
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 5: just to see it, I think. And I think obviously

198
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: Joker is going to be so he's going to be

199
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 5: physical with him. But I also think that Spurs are

200
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: smart enough to say, you know what, you know, if

201
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 5: it's a physical thing, well, you know, remember you know

202
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 5: they called Tim Duncan a power forward for twenty years

203
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 5: even though he was playing center, right Bill, Yeah, yeah,

204
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: they'll do something to make sure he doesn't get you know,

205
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 5: they're not going to let him like get in the

206
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 5: pain and let you know, these guys just go right

207
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: at his chest all the time. But I think I

208
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: would love to see him out on the perimeter, you know.

209
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 5: Joanna is coming up the court trying to go buy

210
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 5: him for a dunk and to see how just to

211
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 5: see how that.

212
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 6: Looks, right right right, yeah, yeah, Like guarding perimeter players

213
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 6: might might be interesting because as we saw, even though

214
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 6: they will get past him, that doesn't really matter because

215
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 6: getting past him unless you're like he's at the other

216
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 6: end of the court, then you're not really past him

217
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 6: because he can still block your shot.

218
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, for nickname, I just want to put.

219
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 6: Monsieur Fantastic, like mister Fantastic on the table. We you know,

220
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 6: there's been a lot of a lot of nickname ideas

221
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 6: thrown out.

222
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm still gonna go with doll Slim from

223
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,040

Speaker 1: Yeah, or dal Sleazy, just to give it a little

225
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: bit of just a little bit of you.

226
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, I know if he wants to be sleep,

227
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: but yeah.

228
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 4: Video games are superheroes like that.

229
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 6: That is what I'm getting that, Like it feels like

230
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 6: we're seeing something that is c g I of some sort.

231
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 5: Right right right right, yeah, when you were watching them,

232
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: like yeah, this is back when I was a kid,

233
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 5: I'd like, you know what I'm gonna do on Live

234
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 5: or two k I'm gonna create a player who's seventy

235
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 5: five who can handle Yeah, exactly, and you go, you

236
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 5: would never see a player like this. You know, he's

237
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 5: going to be the same height as Yao Ming, but

238
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: he's gonna dribble like a guard.

239
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah he has he's ai in Yao Ming's body. Okay, right,

240
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: are you all ready for this? We'll see, we will see.

241
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: What about I mean, are you feeling about Oklahoma City Jack?

Speaker 2: That's your you know you got got some money on them.

243

Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll say one largest. You go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Man got something that.

247
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 6: It was a flyer. It was a wild, a wild pick.

248
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 6: But that's that's what I was interested in doing. And

249
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 6: they look interesting. I mean, if check can check and

250
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 6: come right in and play. I like that he had

251
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 6: a little chip on his shoulder when he was like.

252
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that move's called a head butt. Uh you know

253
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 4: legal thinks a lot. Yeah, reference, he's illegal, thanks.

254
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 6: A lot, dude. But I don't know why that's his voice.

255
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: I'm sure he's much cooler than that.

256
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: His party just like, come on, man, just play so

257
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: I had to feel like the guy at like twenty

258
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: four hour Fitness who's calling a foul all the time, Like,

259
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: come on.

260
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 2: Man, we're just playing. What about you, Jason? How do

261
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: you think that?

262
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: What is it?

263
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 2: You?

264
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: Your opinion? What's your opinion of Oklahoma? Now you've chets here,

265
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: this is something we got it. We got some kind

266
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: of outlier contender. Where do you think they're gonna end up?

267
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 5: I think they're in that kind of where they were

268
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 5: last year. They're in that top ten, top eight range.

269
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 5: I mean, they got an young school. I mean, you

270
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 5: threw you dropped Chet in there with Shae Giddy. I mean,

271
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 5: that's that's a nice core of you know, with talent,

272
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: and they I think Shay elevated them to a level

273
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 5: that most people didn't expect last season. You know, yeah, right,

274
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 5: they do have every Williams in the NBA.

275
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 7: That's probably they're consolidated.

276
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 4: They're hoarding Williams.

277
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 5: You know, if you got one, you know, Robert Williams

278
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 5: better not get comfortable in Portland.

279
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 7: You know, Okay, they got him.

280
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: They just trade Chet for him.

281
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: They're like, sorry, man, we just have to consolidate all.

282
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 7: You I mean, you know, but I like, I like

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 7: what they've got.

284
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 5: I just I wonder how I'm interesting, how chat does

285
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 5: over the course of the year. I like Giddy, you know,

286
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 5: and I think in today's NBA you got to have playmakers,

287
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 5: and with with with Shae and with Giddy, you got

288
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 5: to legit playmakers.

289
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, well, shall we move on to one of

290
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the other matchups.

291
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: Let's all that.

292
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 4: Money in the bank.

293
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 6: I think we can say, Okay, I see that, that's

294
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 6: money in the bag. They're going to win the title.

295
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 6: I think we're Yeah, we're all bond right now. You're

296
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 6: gonna like that. You're gonna like the interest on that one.

297
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: So take your breame, come back and look around the league.

298
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: Sorry, you know me, I'm eager to watch the league,

299
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: even if it is Yeah, the Lakers won.

300
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: A preseason game, that's right, Yeah, all.

301
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 6: Right, we will talk about that and other things around

302
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 6: the league, including ESPN's somewhat confounding win predictions.

303
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: All yeah, help me understand this.

304
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 4: And we're back.

305
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 6: We're back, and the Lakers Austin Reeves coming through with

306
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,359
Speaker 6: some you know, big boy shots.

307
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, squeaked it out against the nets.

308
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, like we gotta we got a

Speaker 1: little a d blockage, we got some Lebron, a little

310
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: bit of Bron. But yeah, I was like, it was

311
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: nice to see Reeves and Thomas just trading threes.

312
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: I love to see that. But yeah, I was.

313
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm I need to see more before

314
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: I go full Laker mode and you know, completely disconnect

315
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: from reality and say that we're winning it all.

316
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 2: But I like that. I'm not as panicked as I

317
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: was going into this season as last year.

318
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: Uh, Jason, how do you feel as a so calm

319
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: native someone from the area.

320
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: Do you did you? Did you? Did you catch the

321
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: game at all?

322
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 7: Not? Really?

323
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 5: But I always start by Sam Lakers in six no

324
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: matter what, I have no idea what the matchup is,

325
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 5: I would just say Lakers and six. I know, even

326
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 5: when they lost every preseason game last year, I was like.

327
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: Lakers and six, we'll get there. I like.

328
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: I like this Laker team, I really do. I just

329
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 5: think I like them adding some shooting. I like the

330
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 5: idea that maybe they'll be healthy, you know. I like

331
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: having DeAngelo Russell and gay Vincent from the start of

332
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: the season. I like not having to switch full gear,

333
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 5: you know in February.

334
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 7: So I like this team.

335
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 5: I think in a lot of ways, maybe people are

336
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: kind of underestimating them, you know, talking about Denver obviously,

337
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: people are talking about what Phoenix might be.

338
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 7: You know.

339
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: I think every year we get the Clippers are going

340
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 5: to do it, and I won't believe that until ever

341
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: to actually see it. You know, it's you know, I

342
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: think this Laker team is going to make some noise.

343
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean looks we look deep and just

344
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: seeing everything come together. Christian would still a bit of

345
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: a question mark there, you know, but time will tell,

346
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: I think.

347
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: To have I mean, you know, last season, they had

348
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 5: guys playing when you're going I mean, if he's on

349
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 5: the court, ever, we're probably in trouble and those guys

350
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 5: are all you have three guys that got on the

351
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 5: court together at the same time last year with the Lakers,

352
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: right right. I swore they went and got every guard

353
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 5: couldn't shoot and said let's go put them all on

354
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 5: the same team and.

355
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: Just let's just see. I feel like this is a

356
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 2: good one. I think this is going to start clicking.

357
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, the question mark, so I think, yeah, for

358
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: US fans last season, I felt like the Nick Young

359
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: meme would just question marks over meeting, like, oh, okay,

360
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: well I guess that's where we're going.

361
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 6: When you said Lakers and six heading into last season,

362
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 6: did you know that that was going to be seventeen

363
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 6: games that it was going to take them to get

364
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 6: to six wins?

365
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 7: No, I did not know that.

366
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 5: I was thinking a big picture. I was picking yeah,

367
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 5: first round of the playoffs, still winning six.

368
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were right about that. I mean they went les.

369
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't thinking. I mean, yeah, that was

370
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 5: one of the more brutal starts of my lifetime for

371
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 5: the Lakers. It's like that was that was just bad.

372
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, yeah, well they went again. I was like,

373
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: they're going to beat anybody.

374
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

375
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Right.

376
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: Took years off super producer Jabari's life, and I get it.

377
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: We were texting each other through that whole time, just

378
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: being like do you see this, and like I just

379
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: let's just think about it brighter tomorrow, and it feels

380
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: like maybe this where we're at.

381
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 5: I don't think Darvinham gets enough credit for the job

382
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 5: he did keeping that thing quasi even remotely afloat. I mean,

383
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 5: go into a season with you know, Pat Bev and

384
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 5: Russell Westbrook as your guards, yeah, you know and say, Okay,

385
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 5: we're gonna somehow eke out enough wins to when you

386
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 5: do make all these deals, you're not completely You're not

387
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 5: like port you know, you're not really out of it

388
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 5: right because another injuries hit. That was a bad, unwatchable team,

389
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 5: especially Ad and Lebron. That was just bad basketball.

390
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting.

391
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 6: I'm sure everybody's gonna be motivated to get off to

392
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 6: a better start this season.

393
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 4: Not that they were trying to lose last year, but.

394
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that added benefit of knowing what

395
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: a strong start means down the road, being like, look,

396
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: if we can just correct that mess too, we're putting

397
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: we're setting ourselves up in a much better you know,

398
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: result at the end of the year.

399
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

400
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: So the one thing I'll say, so, I'm still shopping

401
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 6: around for my team now that the Sixers just fill

402
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 6: me with nothing but dread. You know, Sons are probably

403
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 6: at the top just because of uh, you know, knowing

404
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 6: Frank Vogel, really liking him as a person than being exciting.

405
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: You got to check them out a little bit too,

406
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: Can you go to me?

407
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I got to.

408
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 6: My dad was at their training camp just kind of

409
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 6: observing giving Frank some feedback because they've worked together for

410
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 6: a number of years and I got to go down

411
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 6: for twenty four hours and sit in on one of

412
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 6: their practices. Kevin Durant is tall, so he's not lying.

413
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 6: And they got Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. So those

414
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 6: are my big scoops from training camp.

415
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: And how many points did you score?

416
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 6: You said it was a zero, but it was not

417
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 6: for of putting up shots before security dragged me out

418
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 6: of there, right right right.

419
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: But it was pretty cool. It was a pretty cool experience.

420
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because for your point about Darvin, like

421
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: even the mention of Frank.

422
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: Vogel, I was like, oh man, yeah, what a time.

423
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, I do completely, I really do underrate the

424
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: fact that he kept this thing together when that, honestly,

425
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: I think in retrospect is like an impossible proposition.

426
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: But he did it. So I've never successful.

427
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 6: He rooted against a lebron team for a whole season,

428
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 6: so it's always going to come back to me kind

429
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 6: of pulling.

430
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 4: For the Lakers a little bit.

431
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 2: So sure, we'd love to have love to have you.

432
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: Shall we talk about some of these ESPN rankings D

433
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: have me.

434
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: I guess.

435
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 7: I mean, rankings are always great for engagement in our business.

436
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's like I feel like the same way,

437
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: like we always on our other show, we always get

438
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: incense when people put out like like the top like

439
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: nineties hip hop albums, like numbers one through fifteen, We're like,

440
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: what are they doing?

441
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: Like Sanconi is not even on.

442
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: Here, And that's what sort of these I feel like too. Yeah,

443
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: they're they're good. They're good outrage bait for sure.

444
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean so on the players.

445
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 6: So they put out players there, They put out one

446
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 6: hundred through fifty one rankings of players, and I think

447
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 6: the only things that really jumped out to me was

448
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 6: how bad their rankings.

449
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 4: Were last year.

450
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like they had Chris Paul at number twenty one,

451
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 6: the twenty first best player in the league last season,

452
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: which seems.

453
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: Very strong for him.

454
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: A lot of optimism, I think in that one way,

455
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: too much optimism because now he's fallen with fifty five spots.

456
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's he should have been seventy six.

457
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: He should have been seventy six.

458
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I mean I guess he had

459
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 6: been really good, like through long stretches, but he just

460
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 6: like felt like he was didn't have enough gas in

461
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 6: the tank to be twenty one last year.

462
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: That seemed like it was.

463
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 6: Based on, you know, just priors, right, So like what, well,

464
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 6: Chris Paul's got to be one of the best players

465
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 6: in league. But the other big thing, Franz Wagner is

466
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 6: fifty two this year, which feels about right. He wasn't

467
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 6: ranked at all last season, which is wild. That feels

468
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 6: like a like they just forgot that he played in

469
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 6: the NBA or something, because yeah, yeah, when he should

470
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 6: have been at the top hundred Zion's at fifty seven,

471
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 6: he was forty last year.

472
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 4: That feels too low to me. But I don't know.

473
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess if you're taking health into it,

474
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 6: then maybe maybe that makes sense.

475
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 2: Right right right?

476
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 4: What's jumping out me? You guys?

477
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean no, that honestly, that the going from twenty

478
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: one to seventy six for Chris Paul, I was like, oh, okay,

479
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: I mean that that feels a little bit more like

480
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: a real reasonable correction. I love seeing Austin Reeves getting

481
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: in there from going from not at all to sixty six.

482
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: I like the continued uh resaissance that we're witnessing.

483
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, like that.

484
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, it's I'm just sort

485
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, we'll see, you know if if any

486
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: of this makes sense. These are kind of like the

487
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: things like to Jason's point, where like I've I remember

488
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: it in the moment I see it, but I'm never

489
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: coming back to this information like in the season, like

490
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: they had.

491
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: Reeves at a sixty six? Can you believe it? Like

492
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: no one, no one's talking about.

493
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: Well, well, well yeah.

494
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna say.

495
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 5: You know, Kevon Looney was the eighty eighth best player

496
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 5: and he shut down the bonus whatever numbers the bonus.

497
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: Is right right right, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's wild.

498
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: What about these win project I think the wind projections

499
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: were something that were I'm completely lost with, Like, I

500
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: don't know how how these win totals are.

501
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Being adjudicated or predicted. Do what do what? Huh?

502
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: It's just all stats basically that we're going like, it

503
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: feels like such a there's some aggressive departures from even

504
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: what the money people are saying in Vegas.

505
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's weird.

506
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 6: So the Western Conference predictions they have landing in first

507
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: place in the Western Conference. The Memphis Grizzlies with a

508
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 6: whopping forty eight wins. That's the best record in the

509
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 6: Western Conference. Yeah, forty eight at number two, the Timberwolves

510
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: at forty seven. It just it feels like they just

511
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 6: did a math equation and like we're like, all the

512
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 6: teams will have about the same number of wins, and

513
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 6: that's that is what we're looking.

514
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: At, and then arrange them how you like.

515
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, then published the Nuggets at forty six, the Warriors

516
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 6: and in fourth at forty three. The Suns don't show

517
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 6: up until fifth place, and they are barely five hundred

518
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 6: at forty three and a half wins. The Pelicans come

519
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 6: in sixth, the Kings and seventh the Lakers squeaking into

520
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 6: the play in eight with forty one and a half wins,

521
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 6: the MAVs at nine with also forty one and a

522
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 6: half wins. First of all, I don't think any of

523
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 6: these teams are going to have half a win. That

524
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 6: would be my fu.

525
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do you have a point two win, That's

526
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So this is already the math doesn't

527
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: check out, but.

528
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: Your point.

529
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: Because like so last season's last season's edition of these

530
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: projections they said were sixty percent accurate with the over

531
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: under totals, and like, I don't know, like to your point,

532
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: Jack if just if it does feel like they just

533
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: had like chat gpt to it. They're like, use these

534
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: stats now, tell me what the rankings are going to be.

535
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: And they're like, yeah, you got Memphis in there, number one,

536
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota two.

537
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there it is. Jason, what are you thinking?

538
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 7: This is hilarious. I just think it's hilarious.

539
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 5: I mean you look at it like the Warriors are

540
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 5: going to the Warriors who got older and smaller.

541
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 6: They're gonna be the stats four spots ahead of the Lakers,

542
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 6: but only two games in front of the Lakers.

543
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, yeah.

544
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: I mean I'm just like, I guess they don't care

545
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 5: that job's gonna miss how many games. I know they

546
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 5: have a good record without him, you know, but you're

547
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 5: gonna miss twenty five and you know it isn't tighest

548
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 5: going now. So it's like maybe they think Marcus Smart

549
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 5: and Derek Derek Rose will have a you know, a renaissance,

550
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 5: and I don't know, I said, this is no, it.

551
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 6: Feels like Marcus Smart getting a lot of a lot

552
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 6: of love. But then when you go over to the

553
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 6: Eastern Conference, right, the Celtics are are the only team

554
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 6: that they predict will get over fifty wins this season,

555
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 6: which I has that ever happened?

556
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 4: Has there been such parody in.

557
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 6: The league that nobody gets only one team gets to

558
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 6: fifty wins? That feels I don't think so it feels

559
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 6: weird to me if that, if that happened.

560
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 7: All the rankings are weird to me.

561
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: How does how does Minnesota, which couldn't figure out how

562
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 5: Townsend go bear even play together?

563
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right?

564
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 7: The second in the West?

565
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, second, because they figured it out, like the I

566
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 6: feel like they haven't figured out how to do defense. Yeah,

567
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 6: And so Gobert, being a defensive stopper who like affects

568
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 6: a lot around the rim, gets over indexed and and

569
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 6: things like these, you know, and then he's like, it

570
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 6: turns out the fact that he makes your offense kind

571
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 6: of stagnant and makes it so the cat can't be

572
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 6: on the floor because he can't guard the fours in

573
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 6: the league. Like, you know, it's just these sorts of things.

574
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 6: I used to put more stock in them than I

575
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 6: do these days.

576
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: Well, what they jack, they got so to round it up,

577
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: they have the Calves in second, forty eight point six wins,

578
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't I was expecting that forty eight

579
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: and a half jack the Sixers fourth, forty six point nine.

580
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: Are you feeling that you can see the MBM?

581
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 4: Fine? I can see them in fourth for sure. I

582
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 4: mean they're all right.

583
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: I wonder what the what was the Vegas prediction that

584
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: was it around this? Was it around forty six?

585
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 4: Is they dropped off? I think they were like forty four?

586
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so they dropped off.

587
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: And then yeah, the Knicks forty four point six, that's

588
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: at fifth and six. The Hawks almost forty four wins

589
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: seventh heat with forty two point seven eight Raptors a

590
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: simp same thing, almost forty three wins, the Nets forty,

591
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: and then the Pacers thirty eight, just almost thirty nine

592
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: wins in tenth.

593
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: So we shall see will the ais come for our jobs?

594
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: I think that's what we will really find out depending

595
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: on these rankings, in which might was the only ones.

596
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 6: Who are gonna have a actually normal win total because

597
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 6: they've got forty forty point zero wins.

598
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right right.

599
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 4: You don't want fractions, which is a first.

600
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll talk about statistics later. It's kind of complicated.

601
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't know.

602
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 6: I would be really surprised if the Grizzlies and the

603
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 6: Timberwolves were one and two in the West.

604
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm crazy, Jason, who's your one and two

605
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: in the West and one and two in the East?

606
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: Just from you know, just from what you're what you're feeling,

607
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: what you're observing.

608
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: What would you say, how would you correct this list? Well?

609
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 5: I just think in the East is going to be

610
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 5: the two best teams are going to be Boston and Milwaukee.

611
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: To me, that yeah, that feels that seems easy.

612
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: Uh see.

613
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 5: The West is trickier because I want to say the

614
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 5: Lakers will be up there, and I want to say Denver,

615
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 5: you know. But then again because I also take into

616
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 5: account the fact that I don't think that it's based

617
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 5: on recent history that Phoenix. I don't think Kdi plays

618
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 5: you know, eighty games, so that'll probably knock them down

619
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 5: a pick. I can't see the Clippers having those guys

620
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: all together for an entire season.

621
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 7: This has never happened.

622
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 5: I don't think the war Warriors are as good as

623
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: that projection is. You know, and I just think Memphis.

624
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's gonna I think Memphis will

625
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: be around there. But I just can't. I think I'm

626
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 5: gonna go lean on the two teams that were in

627
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 5: the conference finals, right, you know, I think I wouldn't

628
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: be surprised to say if Denver went down to three,

629
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 5: wouldn't shock me. I mean, I think, you know, them losing.

630
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 5: I think losing Brown was a big It's gonna be

631
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 5: a that's not something that gloss over kind of the

632
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 5: role he played on that team. I've always been at

633
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 5: the kind of the downside. When you win, everyone overpays

634
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 5: your role players, right, Yeah, I've always been a firm

635
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 5: believer in the one of the worst things you can

636
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 5: do as a GM is overpay a role player from

637
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 5: a winning team.

638
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 2: Right.

639
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 5: That guy looked that good because of the team he

640
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 5: was on. Like, not that he's a bad player, but

641
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 5: if you're expecting him to be the guy you saw

642
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 5: playing next to Steph and Clay or whoever was Shack whatever,

643
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 5: you know, you end up with a guy making a

644
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 5: gang of money and you're like, well, how come he's

645
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 5: not as good as he was? Well, you don't have

646
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 5: Jokic next to him.

647
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: That's why, right, right right, Yeah, It's the context they

648
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: were in. It's like, oh man, well now there goes

649
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 1: a ton of my cap space.

650
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think I'm going Spurs Thunder one and two based.

651
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 6: I don't know if I'm just I don't know if

652
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 6: I got money on.

653
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: Recency bias or what. But Spurs the number one, the

654
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: number one.

655
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: Okay, see a number two?

656
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah for you, I'm gonna say, okay, see number one,

657
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: Lakers two.

658
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: Okay, I appreciate that.

659
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, just just just so I can one for you,

660
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: one for me, you know what I mean.

661
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's take another break and we'll come back

662
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: to close this thing out with the rapid fire round

663
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: of questioning.

664
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: Would this thing out with extreme prejudice?

665
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: Exactly right after this, put your helmets and seat belts on, folks.

666
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be wild.

667
00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: We'll be back, and we are back, Jason Jones. You're

668
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: back on the show, and that means obviously you are

669
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: back in the hottest seat in sports podcasting. It's time

670
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: for the rapid fire round of questioning. Okay, so you

671
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: know how this goes. I'm just gonna ask you a question,

672
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: just give us instinctively your answer right back. Don't don't

673
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: think too long about it, don't hold up the segment

674
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: because we'd like to go at lightning speed, and if

675
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: you go slow, we're gonna get mad at you and

676
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: we might be rude, but because I respect you, I

677
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: will just be passive aggressive, not so aggressively rude.

678
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: Okay, sound good?

679
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 7: That was good?

680
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: Okay, good. I think we're ready for this. Jack, you're

681
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: ready to yeah?

682
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 4: I think so.

683
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 6: Do you feel like Jason knows the temperature of the seat, Like,

684
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 6: do we need to do some metaphors of like how

685
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 6: hot the seed is?

686
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: I feel like the seat is like.

687
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 6: You know, the car's been parked outside for an entire

688
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 6: afternoon three point.

689
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 4: Thirty in August.

690
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, leather interior.

691
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: You're wearing the shortest of shorts.

692
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, some will call them daisy dukes.

693
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 4: Even yeah, and a man shorts.

694
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

695
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: I think we're made of metal for some reason. Yeah,

696
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: m hm mm hmm.

697
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, So why I in case you're wondering how hot

698
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 6: this seed is?

699
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: Okay, and Jason, again, you've got to keep this segment

700
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: moving and we haven't even started. But again, just a warning,

701
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: you have to keep this movie.

702
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 7: Brian, start the clock. Okay, all right, Jack.

703
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: Going first, going first, going first?

704
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, let's I think I should go first. It

705
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 6: feels this feels like one that needs to come from me. Okay,

706
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 6: I just feel like, don't you think it should come

707
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 6: for me? Like I Yeah, and looking at just how

708
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 6: complex the just the whole question is, of course, I

709
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 6: can barely wrap my head around the question.

710
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's it's probably better.

711
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 6: For you to Jason listen. Uh, thanks for thanks for

712
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 6: coming here today. Thanks youving time. Uh yeah, the seat,

713
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 6: the seed is very hot.

714
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I am gonna ask you to sit

715
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 4: down in it.

716
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 6: I want to ask you what's your boldest prediction for

717
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 6: the upcoming NBA season?

718
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 7: The boldest prediction. Oh, that's a tough one.

719
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 5: Uh, I'm like something crazy. Yeah, the Kings want to

720
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 5: around the playoffs.

721
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 4: Wow? Okay, does that is that bold?

722
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: I feel that's bold one more round than the last year.

723
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: Yeah they I mean they haven't won a playoff round

724
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 5: in what seventeen eighteen years?

725
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know that's not really even bold, though.

726
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 5: I think a bold one would be I'm gonna say, okay, see,

727
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 5: definitely makes the playoffs.

728
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 6: Wow, now we're talking and now I'm making money.

729
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 7: I've warmed up. Okay, see definitely gets in there.

730
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: We go. Okay, he's warmed up. Get ready for the

731
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: Dallas does not Dallas man.

732
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 6: I don't understand the Dallas thing that people people being

733
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 6: like they they've got it this year. They figured it

734
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 6: out this year. I don't know how they feel like

735
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 6: a team that should have made a coaching change maybe

736
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 6: and it should have maybe made a couple more changes.

737
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 6: But people are really the Grant Williams thing. They're like,

738
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 6: this is gonna it's gonna make some changes. Everything around

739
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 6: him put them over the top.

740
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 7: That was the issue last year they didn't have Grant Williams.

741
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 6: My main thing is that the players on that team

742
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 6: didn't seem annoyed.

743
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: Enough they you know, I feel like they would.

744
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 6: Play better if they were super annoyed. It's the white

745
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 6: man can't jump logic of who plays the best. You

746
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 6: have to be annoyed by your teammate.

747
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,479
Speaker 2: You find that extra gear.

748
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: And Jason, we got to keep this segment moving and

749
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate you know, obviously the answer.

750
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 2: But we got to move to this next question.

751
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: Jason Jones, who is the best player you've ever witnessed

752
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: in person? And what did they do as you bore

753
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: witness to that event?

754
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 5: Best player in person? Shack and he just destroyed the

755
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 5: entire Golden State Warriors front line and made them look

756
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 5: like children.

757
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, cried, Yeah they go here, Oh Eric, damn Pier,

758
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 2: Oh man, I hope he's okay. I hope he's okay.

759
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 6: Is it would Shack be the same answer for a

760
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 6: player you feel like you need to see in person

761
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 6: to fully appreciate.

762
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, how big race, how big athletic Shack really is?

763
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 4: That's the thing. It's like what he's known for.

764
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 6: And yet everybody I know who has met him in

765
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 6: person is like, yeah, but like he's like really, he's

766
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 6: bigger than you think. He's bigger than your mind can

767
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 6: make sense of.

768
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, because you go, yeah, like the

769
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: people on the TV screen are big and tall, and

770
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: then you're in the presence of someone who like, is

771
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, feet taller than you, Then yeah, you're it's

772
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: a whole other thing.

773
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 2: It's a whole other thing.

774
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 4: All right.

775
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 6: What is the most underrated NBA city to visit? And

776
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 6: also what is your must have meal? In that town.

777
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 5: I'd say Portland, and there's a there's a restaurant now
