64
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,040

Speaker 4: playoffs are already starting. Every game matters a lot, so yeah,

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: we got MAVs Grizzlies. Hopefully Kyrie's in there. We got

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: an image of Kyrie right now. Yeah, man, that's reasonable.

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: He's questionable right now. You never know. Footsore on this.

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: He could play, he can very well. But we got

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,960

73
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,640

00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,160

78
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: It's always a blast to watch these games. Okay, before

79
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: we get the winters and losers, we had two more wedgies.

80
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: This is great news. We'll start well, both of them

81
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: actually happened on Saturday. Nicholas Battou from the corner. Had

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot of clipper wedgies this year. Absolutely, that's a

83
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: deep one, really nice wedgie there from the corner. So

84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. And then later that day, uh, Kyra Lewis

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: Junior with the floater wedgie. What sort of the open

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: layup attempt there.

87
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: It's like two for him in a week.

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys are right on the sixth.

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: Wow. Then a week good good for him and that

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: he was wide open too, just sticking a plain old

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 4: weggie right there from five feet.

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, a little cot between, am I going

93
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: backboard or not? Yeah? And it stuck it. So anyway,

94
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: forty four wedgies on the year. Look at that pace?

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, really picked up?

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: Really did they come to Boches. It's been great, so

97
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: uh fantastic.

98
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: And just a quick note on the Clippers one I

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 4: mentioned last week, we saw one in Los Angele As

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: I said, is this a fever dream? Am I hearing

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: the PA announcer yell weggie when it happens? It wasn't

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: a fever dream. It happens in Los Angeles? Wow, Because

103
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: I remember Ralph Lauler, who called games for the Clippers

104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: for forty one years, the man we basically took weggie from. Yeah,

105
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 4: we popularized it from Ralph Lauler. We asked him about

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: it when we were with the starters. He made it

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: happen in Los Angeles for so long that as soon

108
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: as a weggie happens, the PA announcer just says weggie

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 4: and it doesn't go any deeper than that. He doesn't

110
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 4: give you analysis like no dunks does. But yeah, it's

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: pretty cool that happens. So thanks to you out there

112
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: who let me know that, because I thought I was

113
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 4: dreaming when I heard that on a broadcast.

114
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: It's real, it's real. Love it. Okay, let's get two

115
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: winners and losers of the NBA Weekend. A little bit

116
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: later in the show, we're gonna have some March Madness fun.

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: We're gonna be filling out our bracket guys that know

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: nothing about college basketball all week long. But I think

119
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna be hilarious. But we are starting because this

120
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: is an NBA podcast with the winners of the NBA Weekend.

121
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: Why don't you get to sco in here?

122
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: Well, first, a quick shout out to those Clippers who

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 4: have won three in a row before I get to

124
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: my actual winner of the week, because I think Tyler's

125
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 4: figuring out that point guard thing out pretty well. Russell

126
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 4: Westbrook's starting games, but he's not ending games. Last two games,

127
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: no fourth quarter minutes. It's Eric Gordon who's man in

128
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: the point, doing a good job. Three big assists against

129
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: the Knicks on Saturday.

130
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 5: Why.

131
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: I also love that particular game he had Spike Lee

132
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: sitting beside Steve Balmer, two different individuals, but loving loving

133
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: the camera on them the entire time. And just I

134
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: love watching Kawhi the machine. Right now he's getting cut off.

135
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's back to the old Raptors Kawh where

136
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: he gets cut off. Looks like he's got nowhere to go.

137
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: Guy looks like he's bottled him up. But Qui just

138
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 4: goes pump pump pump and just gets off his feet

139
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 4: just in time to get off a shot. It looks

140
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: like there's no chance he buries it because he's Hi.

141
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: Him and Paul George got something going on. So anyways,

142
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 4: interesting to watch those Clippers. But I've got the calves

143
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 4: because I think these two game sets that we've seen

144
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 4: the last few years kind of help out these teams

145
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 4: that haven't had any postseason experience, because it feels like

146
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: these are sort of postgame postseason series, these two game sets.

147
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 4: If you take it seriously, you gotta steady film, you

148
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: gotta make sure you know what's going on. They played

149
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: the Heat, another team that's got a lot of playoff

150
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: experience doing this kind of thing, and they split them.

151
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: They won the first one and they lost the second one.

152
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: So why are they a winner test sounds kind of stupid,

153
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 4: but I like how they're getting these losses out of

154
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: their system here in the regular season. It's just getting

155
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: into those habits of studying an opponent. And the Heat

156
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: made adjustments, and so they saw it on the other

157
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: side going into Miami, which is nice on the road.

158
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: If you go into the postseason and steal one, that's

159
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: all it's all you want, as Donovan Mitchell said, that's

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: all they were looking for. And they missed assignments and

161
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: they screwed up in Game two and they fouled after

162
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: the Heat made adjustments and they lost. But good to

163
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: get out of their systems. I think it really does help.

164
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: They got another two game set next week against the

165
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Nets, who they could be facing in the postseason.

166
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: They could be facing the Knicks in the postseason. People

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: thought they were going to be facing the Heat in

168
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: the postseason. I know people would take the Calves right

169
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: now they were gonna play the Miami Heat, But it

170
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: was only weeks ago. I think people were saying, oh,

171
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 4: this is a bad matchup for this young Calves team.

172
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: So I think they're growing. We got the bad side

173
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: could be that Jared Allen got poked in the eye

174
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: in the second game of that set by bam Medebayo,

175
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: but it looks like it's just a contusion. So the

176
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Calves in the fourth seed went on to beat the

177
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: Hornets on Sunday. I'm kind of going back. They've played Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.

178
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: Then they beat the Hornets on Sunday. They were down again,

179
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: they had to come back. Ricky Rubio probably his best

180
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: game since coming back. He had nine of his eleven

181
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 4: points in the fourth quarter. So they are one of

182
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: three teams that have got to seventy games already played

183
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: a ton of games, twelve games left. Like I said

184
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 4: about our playback this evening, it feels like the playoffs

185
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 4: are here, and it feels like this team is learning

186
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 4: and they get another quick set here against the Brooklyn

187
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 4: Nets if you take it seriously, and I know this

188
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: team is going into the playoffs with a young team.

189
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: Aside from Donovan Mitchell, what.

190
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Do you think of the Cavaliers as a winner of

191
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: the weekend test? Sort of going back to Wednesday, that

192
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: two games set there against the Miami Heat where they

193
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: split it, and then taking care of business on Sunday. Well,

194
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: I will.

195
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 5: Also be referencing Wednesday.

196
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: When do you guys start your weekend?

197
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 4: I love it.

198
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing.

199
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: I actually was gonna have Jimmy Butler as a winner

200
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: of the weekend because he dominated the Calves in the

201
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: fourth quarter of the win for Miami twelve points in

202
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. It's probably helped out by Jared Allen

203
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: missing a little bit of time. Also, don't think it's

204
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: super impressive that the Calves had to come back to

205
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: beat the Hornets.

206
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a thing that they do.

207
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing that they do.

208
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: And they get lucky when Donovan Mitchell is making shots

209
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. But they've got Mitchell, they've got Garland.

210
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Those are two good guards at handling the ball.

211
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 5: They can get.

212
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: Shots quite a bit of time and knockdown free throws

213
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: as well. So I didn't necessarily expect the Calves to

214
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: be winners this weekend with the way their weekend went.

215
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 5: But Task made a great pitch.

216
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: Task always swerves always.

217
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 4: They didn't have Garland that game that they did lose

218
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: against the Miami Heat. You know, just going big picture

219
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 4: here as well.

220
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: They are three and a half. The Cavs are behind

221
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: the Sixers, for the third seed, and they are three

222
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: games up on the Nets in the four slot, So

223
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: they really of like all of the teams across the

224
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: board in both conferences when you look at seedings, they

225
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: are one that has space on both sides, and it

226
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: feels like they will be hosting game one of a

227
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: first round series against who is the Nets? Is the Knicks?

228
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: Is it possible, it's the Heat. It's gonna be likely

229
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: one of those three teams. So they're gonna have game

230
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: one and two there in their own barn, and there's

231
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 1: gonna be some expectations obviously as a favorite as the

232
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: home team.

233
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: And meat whoever they play, and they're gonna get down

234
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 4: in one of those first two games, because that's what

235
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: they do. They get down in these holes and then

236
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: they come back. Will they be able to come back?

237
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: They do rely on Donovan Mitchell a little too much,

238
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: But these twelve games, I think they are taking it

239
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 4: seriously here in the stretch run to try and not

240
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: do that, try and try and not get down. But

241
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: the fact that they go in to Miami and take one,

242
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: I think that's it just bodes well for their game

243
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: three and four, whether it's against the Knicks or the Nets.

244
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 4: It looks like it's gonna be against one of those teams.

245
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: Who do you got for winning the weekend?

246
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 5: TK Winner of the weekend for me is Sean Chew,

247
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: John Lardy and n Deem Sattar.

248
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 4: Who are those no idea?

249
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I know who they are. They are the guys

250
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: that walked out of a preseason Kings game and said,

251
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: we're giving forty.

252
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 5: Wins this year.

253
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: Yes, the King's got forty wins. They got a victory lap.

254
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: There's a piece on the Athletic with these guys. Deuce

255
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: and Mo had them on. I saw NBC Sports did

256
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 3: a little piece as well. There's probably more out there.

257
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 5: They deserve it.

258
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: The Kings beat the Suns this weekend in Phoenix for

259
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 3: the third straight win Sacramento eight and one since the

260
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: All Star Game. This is their first forty win season

261
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: since five six. Bibby and Brad running things out there

262
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: in Sacramento. Shout out to those guys coming through with

263
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: a prediction that got them laughed at at the time,

264
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 3: people saying forty wins.

265
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 5: That's not even five hundred.

266
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: The Kings have a chance to get to fifty wins still,

267
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: uh with this season.

268
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: That was summer league, right, that was everyone was hot

269
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: at some league.

270
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: That was summer league. And it wasn't even like Las

271
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Vegas Summer League. It was the California Class Summer League.

272
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: They were walking out of Chase Center, Colleran, Yeah, Keegan

273
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: was cooking exactly right. One of the guys had on

274
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: like a makeshift Kegan Murray jers because they didn't exist yet,

275
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: said he. He just went to uh TJ Max and

276
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: get the smallest white T shirt he could find. Great stuff,

277
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: but a great win honestly for Phoenix against the Suns

278
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: on Saturday night. They got contributions. Yeah, yeah, sorry so

279
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: for the keys. They got contributions from everybody. In this game,

280
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: seven players scored twelve or more points. I guess Harrison

281
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 3: Barnes ended up leading him in scoring with just nineteen.

282
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: They finished this game on a thirteen to four run.

283
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: They got six points from Demonta Sabonis, a couple of

284
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: assists from Alik Monk. Dearon Fox only scored one basket.

285
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: He's been their clutch player this year. Harrison Barnes made

286
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: some free throws and a massive three by Kessler Edwards.

287
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 3: The guys made five threes this season. Yeah, and he

288
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: shot it like he's made five hundred in his career.

289
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: So a big time winner of the weekend for the

290
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: Kings and their fans and the Beam. It looks like

291
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 3: the Kings have a pretty good shot at least the

292
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 3: holding on to the number two seed in the Western Conference.

293
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 3: This is also great if you care about winning divisions

294
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: then getting to win over the Suns. When the trade happened,

295
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 3: it felt like Phoenix would have a chance to catch Sacramento. Obviously,

296
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant went down with an injury, but the Kings

297
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: have just been playing.

298
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: Great basketball, Ridiculous contributions from the bench. As you said,

299
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: Kesler Edwards a guy they got at the trade deadline

300
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: for a second round pick. No one really blink, Batan

301
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: and I at that just some depth, But the King's

302
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: going after depth. Who would have thunk it. I mean,

303
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: that's a trait of a very good team. Yeah, guys

304
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 4: coming off the bench, as you said, Milike Monk huge,

305
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: Trey Lyles huge, and Kessler Edwards huge, along with some

306
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: others there off the bench. But yeah, going deep. This

307
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 4: King's they went ten deep in that game.

308
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: Forty wins. I can't believe they've only done that like

309
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: a handful of times in their franchis. It is really

310
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: not that's amazing, but it is to the Sacramento Kicks.

311
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: So congrats to those guys for calling it and for

312
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: it coming true. And now we'll see if they can

313
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: get to fifty. I think that's gonna be difficult. I

314
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: think they're gonna come up a little bit fifty. But

315
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: forty plus wins, what a year.

316
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: I also, you know, from reading about these guys, it

317
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 3: seems that Sean and John sewn John, those two were

318
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: already locked in his buddies. But Nadeem was also at

319
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: the game. His girlfriend is a Lakers fan. They came out,

320
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: he saw those two guys getting chirped at by all

321
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: the Warriors and Lakers fans hating on him for never

322
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: winning a championship, basically for being the Kings. So he

323
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 3: stepped up and he was ready to talk about getting

324
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: forty wins as well. And now these guys are like

325
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: famous Kings fans, buddies, great stuff.

326
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: So they're walking out of the arena and they're just

327
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: yelling forty wins.

328
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: We're gonna win thirty.

329
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: And now and now they they fulfilled it. Man, they're

330
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 4: just prophesizing outside a summer league game over you're getting

331
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 4: written up months later. Pretty amazing, all right.

332
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: A couple other winners from the weekend. Joel Embiid has

333
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: to be considered a winner of the weekend. Seventy six

334
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Ers won both their games. They stay within one and

335
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: a half games of the Celtics at the number two

336
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: slot there and beat a monster though in two games,

337
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: he averaged thirty six and a half points, he shot

338
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: sixty one percent from the field, seven and a half boards,

339
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: four assists, three and a half blocks, one and a

340
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: half steals. That's what he did over the weekend. He

341
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: didn't hit a three pointer, but he made twenty five

342
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: field goals and twenty three free throws in the two games,

343
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: and on Friday night, the most important field goal was

344
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: the game winning jumper, that little fadeaway around the free

345
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: throw line as the seventy six Ers completed a huge

346
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: comeback against the Blazers. I know we'll get to the

347
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: Nuggets and some of the losses piling up for them,

348
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: even though Jokic was putting up monster numbers. But this

349
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: was a good weekend for the fans of people that

350
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: want to say Joel Embiid is the MVP of this league.

351
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it can't get much better than winning him,

352
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: dominating him, him in a game winner and then gets

353
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit. According to Basketball References MVP tracker,

354
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Embid's chances went from about eight percent when I checked

355
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: before the weekend, they're up to twelve percent according to

356
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: the two Basketball Reference.

357
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: There.

358
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: So a good weekend, and you know a lot of

359
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: people are saying this isn't over. There's a lot of

360
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: time left. It's closer whether or not you have him

361
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Beid one. You still have Yokic one where Giannis comes

362
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: in the mix. He's missed some games now, so maybe

363
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: helps out both of these guys in Yokach Embiid. But

364
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: what a weekend.

365
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, sixers and and be it eliminating that argument about

366
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: him not playing a lot because he's played in fifty

367
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: four to sixty seven games. He's gonna play a little

368
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: less than seventy games, but he knows that that could

369
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: be one argument against them, and he's not gonna let

370
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 4: that happen, even though he very well could. He could

371
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: sit games because he does have a foot that's banged up.

372
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: He's mentioned it many times, so that could happen, but he, yeah,

373
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 4: doesn't want that to be part of the argument. Yeah,

374
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: what's just a wild beautiful game winner, gets fall at

375
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: the three point line, spin at the free throw line,

376
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: barries it. They led for one second in that game,

377
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 4: the right second, right absolute last second. That was their

378
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 4: only lead of the game. So pretty cool, coback.

379
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Steph Curry also winning the weekend. I'm sure you guys

380
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: saw this, a lot of you joining us here on

381
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: YouTube listening. Later Saturday night, the Warriors snapped Milwaukee's nine

382
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: game road winning streak, defeated the Bucks one, twenty five,

383
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: one sixteen in overtime. The Warriors improved a twenty eight

384
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: and seven at the Chase Center. That's like the fourth

385
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: best home record in the league, and they're seven to

386
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: twenty six away from home, tied for the third worst

387
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: road record in the league. But Steph Curry is the

388
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: reason why they won the game, hands out twenty two

389
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: of his game high thirty six points in the fourth

390
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: quarter and overtime. You know, he shot thirteen to twenty

391
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: seven from the field, so he sort of struggled for

392
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: Steph Curry hit six threes but the biggest play of

393
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: the game wasn't even an offensive bomb that he hit,

394
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: though he hit many two obviously keep them in the

395
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: game and win the game. He blocked a layup attempt

396
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: by Drew Holliday attacking what was probably gonna be a

397
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: really good look at the rim and it was sort

398
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: of the steel block variety. Timed it perfectly and got

399
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: them into overtime and then did work in the extra

400
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: period there. But Curry again reminding everyone, I gave you

401
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: the splits there. It's gonna be weird. They're gonna have

402
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: to go on the road and win some of these

403
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: series if they're gonna go to the finals again. But

404
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: you get these moments in a Marquee game on Saturday night,

405
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: like Jesus. Yeah, when you have Curry, you have a

406
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: pretty good chance. I don't care where you're playing really now, No,

407
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: you're Honis in this obviously you're missing your MVP guy

408
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: there from Milwaukee. But good stuff from Curry. Any thoughts

409
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: on this game.

410
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, a good thing he did this because that would

411
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: have been a pretty bad loss loss for the Warriors,

412
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: having lost three straight obviously on the road. They just

413
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: can't win there to lose one at home that was

414
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: winnable against a team that was missing their best player,

415
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: which their previous three losses were as well.

416
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 5: That would have been really really bad.

417
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 3: Shades of Kyrie Irving on Steph Curry from the twenty

418
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 3: fifteen Finals Game one on the block. There pretty impressive

419
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: stuff from Steph. That guy was exhausted though, from carry

420
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: and the team. He could barely like complete his postgame interview.

421
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: He was huffing and puffing. I didn't even think he

422
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: had it in them to celebrate the Mad three in overtime,

423
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: So he just kind of gave a Dame Lillard staredown. Yeah,

424
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 3: when he went off the court that's usually reserved for

425
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: a road game. I feel like he was giving fierce

426
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: looks to Golden State Warriors fans.

427
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, different stuff.

428
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: One note I had from this game too, I thought

429
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: you were probably like pretty high on was you keep

430
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: talking about Looney needing to play, needed to play, should

431
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: be playing more. Probably he was pretty important in this game. Again, No,

432
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: you're honest for Milwaukee, but fifteen rebounds for the loon

433
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: Man and they got a lot of help from like

434
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: de Vincenzo was huge on the glass. Draymond did his

435
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: work there. Those three guys taking care of business because

436
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: they are like still waiting on whether or not Andrew

437
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: Wiggins even even returns at this point with personal matters

438
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: and who knows what's going on. You're hoping everything's okay

439
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: with him and his family. But yeah, he was big,

440
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: Looney was.

441
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it almost feels like Wigan's status was downgraded a

442
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 4: little bit. It wasn't, but it felt like it was

443
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: because they've been whole gonna come back during the regular season,

444
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 4: occur after the game, says, we hope, but there wasn't

445
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 4: like an expectation that he's coming back at any point,

446
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 4: So that's it's, yeah, hopefully everything's all right there. He's

447
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: been gone for more than a month. They can rally

448
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 4: around Wiggy when he comes back. That could definitely be

449
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: a point there. But yeah, if Wiggins isn't there, then

450
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 4: it's yeah, a lot more on Looney shoulders, a lot

451
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 4: more even on like Clay's shoulders to rebound because they're

452
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: just a tiny team. So that's, uh, that's definitely a

453
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 4: worrisome sign. And yeah, wow, wow, what a Steph show

454
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: the last few minutes, because it would have been it

455
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 4: would have been a bad loss. But he does those

456
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 4: like last second defensive plays. Throughout the history of the Warriors,

457
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: he has had some not not huge blocks like that,

458
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: but strips because he's he's always in good position. He's

459
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 4: not a bad defender.

460
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: Little love to thunder rookie Jalen Williams J dubb that

461
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: one not the jail in with the why the one without?

462
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: He helped Okay see the back to back wins over

463
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: the pell plis a team they are like battling with

464
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: to get into the playing spot and the Spurs took

465
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: care of business there. In his nine games, since you

466
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: all start breaking, Jalen Williams JADUB is averaging twenty one

467
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: points per game, five boards, five assists, over two steals,

468
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: shooting fifty seven percent from the floor, forty six percent

469
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: from three, and very solid eighty two percent of the line.

470
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: And he's like a plus or sorry, a positive plus

471
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: and positive negative A plus minus is what I meant,

472
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: stud uh. And when it comes to the rookie class,

473
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: it's like it's Walker Kessler and it's Jalen Williams JDub

474
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: leading in wind shares like they are very impactful to

475
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: their team's record, and he's just been amazing and continue

476
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: to play amazing. Now Shay's sort of like back, he's

477
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: in and out right, he's not going to play back

478
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: to back situation. So he missed one of these games.

479
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: But it's all right if this guy's stepping up and

480
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: those are incredible stats for a rook and helping them

481
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: win and they're still in this. I mean, I think

482
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: we thought maybe a week or two ago is like, ah,

483
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: what a season. You know, Shae was missing time there,

484
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: good chunk of They're like, oh, you know, it's sort

485
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: of we were like, I remember, I was like disappointed.

486
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I'd love to see them just playing

487
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: in games that matter here near the end of March

488
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: in early April, even if they don't get in and

489
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: they're right back in the mix. We have like a

490
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: four way tie, I believe, like with a lot of

491
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: these teams in the plan and then there's a couple

492
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: others just on the outside. So good stuff there from

493
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: Jillen Williams and the thunder TK And he got one

494
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: more little mini winner before we pivot to the losers.

495
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: I gotta give him mini winner to the Boston Celtics

496
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: Best Team I've seen live this year. Went Saturday night

497
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 3: to see Celtics Hawks and it was the perfect Celtics game.

498
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 3: They hit twenty threes. It was a big night for

499
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum as well. He finished with thirty four and fifteen.

500
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: There were clutch plays from Marcus Smart. Al Horford hit

501
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: a clutch three, which I feel like he's hit a

502
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: ton of clutch threes this season. Came from the corner,

503
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: as it usually does. There were some hilarious plays from

504
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart as well. He had two wide open layups,

505
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: one hit the shot clock and one hit absolutely nothing.

506
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: Just lost that out of bounds, and then he got

507
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 3: in a fight Betray Young. He got ejected with a

508
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 3: very slow tackle, like it seemed to me more that

509
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: he was falling down and just wanted to keep Trey

510
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: with them kind of pulled guard on him.

511
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: So that was hilarious to see live.

512
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, one of my children converted from being a Hawks

513
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 3: fan to a Celtics fan, influenced by the family. But

514
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 3: a good weekend for the Celtics because, like you mentioned,

515
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: the Bucks lost to the Warriors as well. Now there

516
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: are only two losses down Boston is behind Milwaukee in

517
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: the in the race for the one.

518
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 5: Seed, So good stuff for the Celtics.

519
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 3: And like I said, I've seen now the Celtics, I've

520
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 3: seen the Bucks, and I've seen the Nuggets, and clearly

521
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 3: the Celtics were the most impressive.

522
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: Live would like to see the Sixers.

523
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: I think they come. But it's like the second to

524
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: last game of the year here in Atlanta. So what's

525
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: even happened in there?

526
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: No, No, I guess Philly could be playing on a first seat.

527
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: It's still even possible.

528
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 4: Was that a double tech for Smart on that ejection

529
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: or was it a single tech because I think it

530
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 4: just deserved a single tech what with the tie up

531
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 4: there with I mean he got hit in the testicles, Yeah,

532
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: that's what happened.

533
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think there was.

534
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 3: A one tech ejection and and Trey got a tack

535
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: as well.

536
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so that makes a little more sense because

537
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: it wasn't that bad. I didn't feel like, I mean.

538
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: Down they got tied up hugging.

539
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, a great recovery for the Celtics. No, Robert Williams,

540
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: it's just good to see the oldies coming in. Blake

541
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 4: Griffin with the hits, like just diving around.

542
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: Uh, Griffin almost had a dunk.

543
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you didn't get up there, and Squeaker Yeah, but

544
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: just chipping in because they're yeah, they're so deep.

545
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to losers. Let's do it all here in

546
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the a block, baby, who you got?

547
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: I got the MAVs because it's an interesting situation with

548
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 4: them because they're three and eight in their last eleven.

549
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: They haven't won consecutive games in a month. But it

550
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 4: could go the other way.

551
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 5: I think.

552
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 4: I think the best way to describe it is it's teetering.

553
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 4: It could go either way because these games that they

554
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 4: lose are really really close and they're working hard. And

555
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: on Saturday aginst the Grizzlies, they had an eleven point

556
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 4: lead in the fourth quarter that they gave up because

557
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 4: they're super young. In this game, they didn't have Luca,

558
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 4: who's probably going to be out a couple more games,

559
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 4: not playing ten against the Grizzlies, didn't have Kyrie with

560
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 4: footsore nois he's questionable for tonight, so they got up eleven.

561
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 4: They had Jayden Hardy starting his first game of his

562
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: career as a Rooky, had Josh Green, Tim Hardaway. Three

563
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 4: guys scored twenty plus points, but they gave it up.

564
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: It's just worrisome time. It is worry hours for the

565
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 4: Dallas Mavericks. They sit tie for seventh and they've got

566
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 4: four teams you trailing them really, really really closely in

567
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 4: the play in tournament race. As I said, they just

568
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: don't know who they are. They give up a ton

569
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 4: of points at the rim, as we sort of expected

570
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: fourth worst percentage at the rim since the Kyrie trade.

571
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: They gave up a lot of shots there. They don't

572
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 4: necessarily know who they're playing. Christian Wood only played fifteen

573
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 4: minutes in a game without Kyrie and Luca, and Jason

574
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: Kidd is just trying to figure this thing out. It's

575
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: if Wood's not playing in these situations, mas fans are

576
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 4: begging for him to play. But if he's not playing now,

577
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 4: then he's not going to play with Kyrie and Luca

578
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 4: because those three together, if you see the numbers with

579
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 4: those three together, they give up a of points, so

580
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 4: they got to go more defensive. It's just one of

581
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 4: these situations where they're losing these close games. Luca is

582
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 4: going to be out for a bit. Only fourteen games

583
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: were mating. You'll probably want to get Luca healthy now

584
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 4: to sit him out because he hasn't looked right even

585
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: when he has played the last couple of months. But yeah,

586
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: worry hours.

587
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: Because big time.

588
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 4: As we said, with the Kyrie situation, he could be

589
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: a rental. So you literally have four to fourteen more games.

590
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,239
Speaker 4: It's just very hard to envision this team going on

591
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 4: the road and getting to a conference finals like they

592
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: did last year, with the difficulty that they'd have going

593
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: through the teams. We've mentioned the bunch of teams, but

594
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: if it feels like we're getting the top six a

595
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 4: little bit more solidified, are they going to go beat Nuggets, Kings,

596
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 4: Grizzly Suns, Clippers or Warriors. I mean, it's just it's

597
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 4: very different cult to imagine them beating two of those,

598
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 4: albeit one of those teams. So it's because they just

599
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 4: don't know who they are. The injuries have played a

600
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: factor here where they haven't got into a flow, and

601
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: hopefully Kyrie comes back, and then Luca has to come back,

602
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 4: and I guess it is the smart thing to keep

603
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 4: him out right now, to get him back and try

604
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 4: and make a run.

605
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: But you've got to be in the playoffs to make

606
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: a run. Yes, somewhat worrisome part here. I mean, I

607
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: think they'll still ultimately get into this thing, into the

608
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: top eight, yeah, I mean yeah, they might have to

609
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: win their way in through the playing. But like we

610
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: were thinking, you know again, we knew things would change

611
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: quickly in the Western Conference, but it looked like they

612
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: were going to be one of the top seeds in

613
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: the Western Conference and have now slid all the way

614
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: to eighth. But so many teams right on their heels

615
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: that it's like it's possible they don't even make the

616
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: play in because it's that bunched up and that would

617
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: just be drastic, especially then with the Kyrie Irving decision

618
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: and what you're gonna do with him, And then there

619
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: is this hole like you brought it up. But Mas

620
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: fans definitely are going, what's going on with Christian What?

621
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Jason Kidd? Like what why do

622
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: we have this guy? If you refuse to play them?

623
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: So there's all that as well. Very bad weekend, I

624
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: would say for the Dallas Mavericks.

625
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: They're a game up on eleventh right now, and they've

626
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: still got a three game road trip on the schedule

627
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: and a five game road trip this is a team

628
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: that's twelve and twenty one on.

629
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 5: The road this season.

630
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: Obviously, the Warriors get the most publicity for their road struggles,

631
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: but Dallas has not been good away from Texas, so

632
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 3: we'll see. I mean, I still think they probably at

633
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 3: least are a play in team, but it has not

634
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 3: gone well since the trade deadline. Basically, where as you

635
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: look at a team like the Lakers, they are peaking

636
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: right now. Certainly even without Lebron the Thunder still a

637
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: tough out. There's still some bad teams in the mix,

638
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: certainly in the Western Conference, but is not a guarantee.

639
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: I don't think for Dallas right now.

640
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: Who do you have for a loser of the weekend?

641
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: You got a team, you got a player where you're going.

642
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 5: It's a rare loser here.

643
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets went back and looked. I don't think they've

644
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: been a loser of the weekend once this season. Maybe

645
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: for their rim couldn't get fixed. Oh, I think that's

646
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: a potential loser of the weekend for him, But I

647
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: don't think they've got it for straight up play on

648
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 3: the court. But they're finally getting one because they went

649
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: zero to two this weekend against the Spurs and the Nets,

650
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: two teams they could beat. Certainly the Spurs though the

651
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: Nets played really really well, I thought, So Skeet's got

652
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: to go back to Wednesday. They've lost three straight now

653
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: if you include the Bowls game on Wednesday, could be

654
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: four if not for Scott Foster. This is only their

655
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: second three game streak of the season. Three game losing

656
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: streak of the season, their first since December. Fourth time

657
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: all year they've lost consecutive games, pretty rare. Second time

658
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: they've lost two straight at home, and the last was

659
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: in November. The silver Lining, though, they've still got a

660
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: five game lead on number two in the West, so

661
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 3: they're probably still going to have home court at least

662
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference, but there are many anti Silver Linings.

663
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: Philadelphia two to zero over the weekend, which factors into

664
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: the MVP race certainly. But also they're only a half

665
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: game back of the Nuggets. Record wise, they're tied in

666
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: the lost column right now. If those two teams somehow

667
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: meet in the finals, Philly could easily have home court advantage.

668
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 3: Point also bad. Jamal Murray left Sunday's game due to

669
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: left knee soreness. I think previously he was having right

670
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: knee soreness, which is why he missed time. And he

671
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: has been kind of struggling from the field regardless. Eighteen

672
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: for fifty five in his last three games, including eight

673
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: for twenty seven from three yesterday. He could hit threes,

674
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: could not make a shot inside the three point arc,

675
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: oh for seven from two yesterday. Just has not been

676
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: looking totally healthy, which is a problem considering we're going

677
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: into the playoffs. But maybe most worrying, I would say,

678
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 3: is the bad vibes are finally starting to creep in

679
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: for Denver right now. Michael Porter Junior was benched in

680
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter after scoring twenty three points in twenty

681
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: three minutes. He was hot yesterday nine for twelve, three

682
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: for five from the three point line, but he was

683
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: on the court in the third quarter when the Nuggets

684
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 3: were getting absolutely smoked. They were outscored thirty seven to

685
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: eighteen by the nets.

686
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: It's like the third thing that's fallen over the first

687
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: one that made noise over there.

688
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: That was a nice mug.

689
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, show the mug.

690
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: I was waiting to do a bit, But do you

691
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: see it as the glasses half full?

692
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: Look at that?

693
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 5: Look at that.

694
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it had a foam or something on

695
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: the inside of it.

696
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 5: Now that's all over my leg set a foam leg.

697
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: That's okay. You know who should feel sorry is Michael Malone.

698
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: You should feel sorry to Michael Porter Junior because they

699
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: needed his scoring in the fourth quarter because Jamal Murray

700
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: was out at that point. Postgame, Michael Porter Junior was

701
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: asked about finding a rhythm and he said, coach sat

702
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: me the whole fourth and put me in with twenty

703
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: seconds left. I think so, I mean, it's impossible to

704
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: catch a rhythm then. So I don't know if you

705
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 3: guys are concerned now for the Nuggets or if this

706
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 3: is just kind of like we've got the one seed,

707
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: but we still got fifteen games left before the playoffs.

708
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: Come a little malaise though certainly a set in for Denver.

709
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: What do you think, are you concerned?

710
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 4: Well, I still got to take one here on the chest.

711
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 4: I feel sorry as well because I ruined your potential

712
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 4: bit there. You were gonna go a glass half full,

713
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 4: glass half empty. I would say you got to keep

714
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 4: the glass half full. With this Nuggets, it feels like

715
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 4: the first little bump of the season, like we've had

716
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 4: many with the Celtics where they've hit these occasional three

717
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 4: game little So I'm not gonna cert fourteen games left though.

718
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: The malaise is the question do you keep it going

719
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: into the postseason? Do you keep playing hard because they've

720
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 4: got a great home record, this is where they win

721
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: their games. I just wouldn't want to see a team

722
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: kind of just just kind of stroll into the postseason

723
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 4: and then get one of those first two games stolen

724
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: from them because they're a five hundred team on the road,

725
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: they just kick ass at home. That would be my

726
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: only concern going forward.

727
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Michael Porter junior situation is a little lot here.

728
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: Why he wasn't, you know, playing, and he's definitely frustrated

729
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: with why he wasn't playing when asked about it, and

730
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: that's fair, you know. Was it because he had some

731
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: defensive lapses? Was it because the Nuggets came back and

732
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: Malone liked what he saw there in uh sort of

733
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: who was out there? Like like Brown is playing well?

734
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean they have two Browns, not Christian Braun. They

735
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: got Bruce and they got the h and Christian. But

736
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: he was playing well, so I felt like deserving a minute.

737
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: But you gotta find your guy. Like we talked about

738
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Michael Ler Junior being like the ultimate swing guy, if

739
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: you want to call that, the ultimate X factor when

740
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: it comes to the Nuggets chances to like win this

741
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: whole damn thing, Like he needs to be an instrumental part.

742
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 1: So not good timing if one of your star players

743
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: is like he's losing faith in in the coach or

744
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: the team or whatever it is, but they have time

745
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: to rally here. I think this is a little blip.

746
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: It's just like the timing of it all is not

747
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: great with the playoffs starning in the month.

748
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a month. I mean I I this

749
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: is uh, this is trial times. Reporter has has had

750
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: it happen in the playoffs before he got played off

751
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 4: the court. So I think this is all right as

752
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 4: long as he bounces back.

753
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: But he is important loser of the weekend to the

754
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazers. They finished a six game road trip this

755
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: weekend with losses in Philly and New Orleans. I wonder

756
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: if it should just be a seven game road trip

757
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: and next stop is Cancun because it might be it

758
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: for Portland this year. They blew a twenty one point lead.

759
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: As we talked about a little bit to the Sixers

760
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: there on Friday night, Embead making the fadeaway jumper, so

761
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: they were in it, put up a decent fight but

762
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: came up short. And then on Sunday, Trey Murphy the

763
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: third hit a career best nine to three pointers, career

764
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: high forty one points. They smoked them. They just crushed

765
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: the Blazers. And we had Lillard on the injury report

766
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: as probable with right calf tightness. He went through warm

767
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: ups and they kept him out. And this was an

768
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: announcement like forty five minutes before the game. Everybody thought

769
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: Lollard was playing. He doesn't. They lose, so not good here.

770
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: They're now thirty one and thirty seven. They are two

771
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: games behind the Jazz, the Thunder, the Lakers, and the Pelicans,

772
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: all four of those teams. I just listed thirty three

773
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: thirty five for the final two spots in the playing tournament.

774
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: So if you're including the Blazers with those four, that's

775
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: five teams for two spots at the end of the

776
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: play in just to even have a chance to obviously

777
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: try to win your way in. I don't like the

778
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: chances for Portland here and this littard thing. He's played

779
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: a lot of games this year. You would assume it

780
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: must have been bad enough for him to not go

781
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: in a game against the Pelicans, a team they're battling

782
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: to try and get in. You know, I think that

783
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: the grave has been dug. I'm not ready like to

784
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: put the dirt on them yet, but I think it's

785
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: ready for them there, and it's not gonna take long

786
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: for them to drop into it. Though eight of their

787
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,959
Speaker 1: next nine are at home where they're a better team.

788
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 5: Now's the time.

789
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: I just I just don't have faith in them. I

790
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: think some of those teams I listed are just playing better.

791
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: The Lakers and the Pelicans are a weird team, but

792
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: Jazz Thunder they're better. They're just a better team than them.

793
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: And I can't believe the Blazers might miss the freaking

794
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: play in tournament.

795
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it may have just officially become a twelve team

796
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: race for the Western Conference playoffs. It's been at thirteen

797
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: or for a long time. Spurs and Rockets not included,

798
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: But I agree it feels like it, especially if it's

799
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 4: that calf. It's the right calf that's been bothering him

800
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 4: all year almost Yes, So yeah, I wonder if it's

801
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 4: a lingering issue with him. So could be more games.

802
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 4: I don't see why it wouldn't be.

803
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: It's so funny, like I'm saying they're done, they're out

804
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: of it. You know, the grave is Doug start saying

805
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: your prayers and all that. But you know, you win

806
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: one or two in a row in this weird race here,

807
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: and you're suddenly right back in there.

808
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: But you got to have three teams be bad in

809
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 4: front of you. Yeah, now, yes for them to jump in.

810
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 4: So yes, it's kind of tough.

811
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take our first break when we

812
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: come back.

813
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 5: We already had our first break.

814
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: I like it. Incredible, incredible. We'll take our first ad break.

815
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 1: And when we come back, we're gonna talk a little

816
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: March madness. Don't go anywhere, Okay, selection Sunday March Madness. Again.

817
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: We are not college basketball sicicos, but we are basketball

818
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: fans and everybody loves March madness. And you know, we

819
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: got to fill out a bracket. That's what we're gonna do.

820
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: But our men's number one seeds Alabama, which the NCAA

821
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: believes is the best team in the tournament, Houston, which

822
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: is the team I think Vegas thinks has the best

823
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: chance to win it all. Kansas is a number one seed.

824
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: They lost in the Big twelve tournament final, but head

825
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: coach Bill self he's back in the mix with a

826
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: big dance there. And then Purdue, whose hopes ride on

827
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: a seven foot four giant named Zach Eddie. Canadian Zach

828
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: Eddie seven foot four. This guy's like, yow, He's a Canadian. Yow,

829
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: this guy. It's unbelievable. So Alabama, Houston, Kansas, and Purdue

830
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: are the number one seeds. Chris Branch for The Athletic

831
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: in the Pulse today, he wrote that there are two

832
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: types of bracket sickos in this world. There's the one shot.

833
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: That's the person who's already filled it out by this morning,

834
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: just won't change it, just boom done, gut reaction to

835
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: all the matchups, so okay, I'm out of here. And

836
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: then there's the editor, the person who has filled it out.

837
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: They've made changes twice already. They got five more updates

838
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna make this week. They're not gonna lock it

839
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: in until the final ten minutes before Thursday's first game.

840
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: Before tip off. There, Are you, guys, a one shot

Speaker 5: All I need is one shot?

00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: that with your brackets?

846
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 4: No?

847
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: No, one shot, gotta go with a gut.

848
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 4: That's it.

849
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 2: Lock it in right away.

850
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: Well, I hope we do that as a team.

851
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 4: Guys.

852
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: We're all one shot guys here and all week long

853
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: with our friends at Neutral. We're gonna fill out our

854
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: bracket and we're gonna have a pool. We're gonna share

855
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: that link.

856
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 5: Okay, I think I'm sharing it.

857
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: And where we go in classic NCAA CBS bracket.

858
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 5: It's a CBS Sports joint right here.

859
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: Excellent. Okay, So we won't do this all today because

860
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: that would take forever, but let's do a region a

861
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: day here as we build our way to Thursday's actual

862
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 1: tip off. I know we've got those what do they

863
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,959
Speaker 1: call them? The first four games starting on Tuesday night. Sure,

864
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: but don't really matter to this. So let's start with

865
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: the South region again, Neutral helping us out here, TK,

866
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: Let's let's do it. I guess you'll sort of take

867
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: us through the matchups here and we'll talk it out

868
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: and debate who moves on.

869
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: Well, we don't have our first matchup set. Oh, so

870
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 3: real quick, who you think is gonna win Texas Corpus

871
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: Christie or Southeast Missouri?

872
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 4: Simo?

873
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: I like, I also like, it ain't gonna matter because

874
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: Alabama is gonna gonna wax them.

875
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 3: You're ready throw in Alabama in. There're the overall number

876
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 3: one seed. We've had one one seed ever lose to

877
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: a sixteen seed. It just happened history, yep, w NBC.

878
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 3: I forget what it stands for. Wisconsin Milwaukee skitball Club's

879
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: probably not that they beat the one seed Skeets.

880
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: Played. Yeah, No, Alabama put them through.

881
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, put them through. Put them through.

882
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

883
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 3: Now things are getting interesting here. We got the Maryland

884
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: Terrapins versus the West Virginia. I think they're the Mountaineers.

885
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I do believe that sounds right.

886
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: Uh And if I'm guessing, knowing what I know about

887
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: Bob Huggins, West Virginia has a staunch defense, right, They've

888
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 3: always got good defenders there. Javon Carter is a guy

889
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 3: from West Virginia, And I think there's the next Javon

890
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 3: Carter already there. I also saw that over the course

891
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 3: of NC double A history, the nine seed has actually

892
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 3: beaten the eight seed more.

893
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 5: Times than the vice person. Yeah, I mean it should

894
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 5: be a fair matchup.

895
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a flip a coin. But I'm I'm

896
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: totally on board taking West Virginia Tess.

897
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 4: You're right, Yeah, yeah, I undoubtedly would like to pick

898
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 4: the nine seed. It just adds a little spice to

899
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 4: the bracket. Okay to me, you know, when you're picking

900
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 4: these things you want to pick. I'm not a chalk man.

901
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 4: I'll never be.

902
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: Don't you worry about that. But like, also, the spice

903
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: by picking a nine seed over eight seed is like pepper.

904
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 4: No, but you need something. I don't want to be

905
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 4: one of those picking these ridiculous upsets that just aren't

906
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 4: gonna happen. Okay, So yeah, I want a little life

907
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: in my bracket.

908
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: Well, isn't this next one like notoriously one that does

909
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: happen a lot? Five?

910
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 5: Twelve twelve five?

911
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

912
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 3: The San Diego State Aztec home of Kawhi Leonard versus

913
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 3: the Charleston the Charleston College Cougars.

914
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 4: They're the Cougar the Cougar's.

915
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 5: Home to a girl I went to high school with.

916
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah?

917
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 4: Which was she?

918
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 3: I assume has graduated since it was, you know, over

919
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: twenty years later. Shout out to Lydia Carrey if you

920
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:00,959
Speaker 3: happen to be watching the show.

921
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 4: She dropped out.

922
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: Strength schedule not great?

923
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: Wait what are those points per game? I do believe

924
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 3: this is a run and gun team?

925
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: Perhaps, yeah, right, right right? Can they can they catch fire?

926
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 5: Can they catch fire? Thirty one and three? That's nice?

927
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: Man?

928
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 3: But they only played one game against the top twenty

929
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 3: five team lost it.

930
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the thing. We know. We know we're going

931
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: to be taking at least one twelve over a five.

932
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: But is it this one?

933
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like it's this one.

934
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you, San Diego man, right state.

935
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 5: There we go.

936
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: This one's for Marshall falk all right, next up the

937
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: Virginia Cavaliers, the Who's versus the Furman Paladins?

938
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 5: Is that right?

939
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 4: I think that might be that I might believe, right, yes, Paladins.

940
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 3: I saw that this one was referred to as a

941
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 3: tortoise versus hair matchup Verman, I have like, look at

942
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 3: look at the stats. Here Furman is averaging eighty two

943
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: points per game, giving up seventy one. University of Virginia, though,

944
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 3: is known for being a defensive team. They send a

945
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 3: ton of guys to the NBA, and they're all pretty defenders,

946
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: like a DeAndre Hunter, a Joe Harris, a Sam Houser,

947
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 3: and you will guarantee see John Hollinger tweeting about how

948
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: smart all their players are. Oh really, yeah, yeah, they're

949
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: a tournament tested.

950
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 4: Teamal Paladins are led by a pair of fifty year seniors.

951
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 4: They get the age Jalen Slosson and Mike Bothwell, well

952
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 4: they're not.

953
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: Called fur boys.

954
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 5: Wait, who's slosson in?

955
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: Slosson in? Bothwell bringing it to you.

956
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: Slas Slosson and Flosson out.

957
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: There, man, I saw, okay, I saw a lot of

958
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: people taking as an upset, So I really just want

959
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: to swerve on them.

960
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 4: I want to go to UV.

961
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: I think so Uva.

962
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 4: I like cheering for that. I like cheering for the cab.

963
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: You love, you do Love.

964
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 4: I like these caps. I was gifted a Bago set,

965
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 4: a corn hole set, and the the pre inserted screen

966
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 4: plastic thing that came on the set was a Virginia

967
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 4: Cavaliers logo. So I love them. I just love them.

968
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 4: I've never changed that. I've never put in my They

969
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 4: try to get you like, oh, you can buy in

970
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 4: a slide and put them in here, you know, whatever team.

971
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: Should create custom no ducks once, that'd be pretty cool.

972
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 4: Sure, put them in no dunks corn hole slides. All right,

973
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: all right, so we go, let's go Virginia.

974
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: A good move, Yeah, I do think from what From

975
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 3: what I can tell, the thirteen seed seems to be

976
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 3: the hot seed these days.

977
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, the twelve seed.

978
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 5: You know, like everybody, everybody knows about twelve versus five.

979
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 5: The new one is thirteen over four right right? Oh,

980
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 5: hybrid max power train sounds good to me.

981
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 4: I can't even turn off my sound.

982
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: This is a good one.

983
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 4: It's still talking, I know.

984
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: Is that your what's going on here?

985
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 5: This man is long?

986
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 4: My podcast started somehow stuff you should know somehow. Sorry,

987
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 4: I have no idea how this started. Devices Yeah, I

988
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 4: wasn't even touching it.

989
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 3: They have an episode on the n C Double A Tournament,

990
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: because that would be very helpful.

991
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I was just looking. I saw this from

992
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 4: the New York Times one in nine point two quintillion

993
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 4: chance to get a perfect bracket. That's right, quintillion.

994
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 5: So you're saying there's.

995
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: A chance, like how many? How many digits?

996
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 4: Is that it's past the bill. It's just past the trillions,

997
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 4: so it's uh too many? Sixteen sixty, Wow, we're going

998
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,720
Speaker 4: to do it. Quintillions. Sixteen, yeah, sixteen.

999
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 5: You think twenty back to the back to the bract please,

1000
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 5: that's good. Jesus quadrillion I think would be next after trillion.

1001
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 3: But our next matchup is the Creighton Blue Jays versus

1002
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 3: the NC State wolf Pack. That's right, Skeets love dogs,

1003
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 3: but I also know you love Toronto, which is the

1004
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 3: most famous of Blue Jays. So what we got Kyle

1005
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 3: Korver and Doug McDermott versus Julius Hodge and Tom Googliata.

1006
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're playing.

1007
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm going, uh, I'm going, you like state, we

1008
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: need we got, I mean, we're right now. We gotta start,

1009
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: we gotta start. We gotta get at least one or

1010
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: two in here, right.

1011
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1012
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: I think the the A C C uh down here

1013
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 3: down here for the A C C. But I'm going

1014
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 3: I'm wanting to go for an upset here.

1015
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 4: But there's Ryan Nemhart's on Creighton. I do believe he's

1016
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 4: brother of Andrew Canadian Ryan nemmart brother.

1017
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 3: Look three point shooting stats. My dad tells me it

1018
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 3: always comes down to guard play in the nc double.

1019
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: I believe that.

1020
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 5: I actually believe that too.

1021
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: They dictate the game.

1022
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and college players shooting the ball over all

1023
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 5: the time.

1024
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 4: Don't mess up?

1025
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:13,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't mess up? Is the key?

1026
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: Who's gonna mess up?

1027
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 5: Then who's got the most turnovers?

1028
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 4: Here?

1029
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what we gotta find out. Well, it looks

1030
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 3: to me like Creighton's gonna mess up, So NC State

1031
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 3: you're going it?

1032
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: Wow, A right?

1033
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 5: Why not? Why not?

1034
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 3: The Baylor Bears versus what the University of California SB

1035
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 3: Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara.

1036
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 4: Hats quachos, gauchosos.

1037
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 5: The gauchos, I do believe. And they their mascot is

1038
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 5: a hat. That's cool.

1039
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: Baylor.

1040
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: Baylor a recent NCUBA champion twenty twenty. I do believe

1041
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 3: something like that. I think they're known perhaps as a

1042
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,240
Speaker 3: defensive team, though look in here they've given up seventy.

1043
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 5: Points per game, so maybe not. Things have changed things

1044
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 5: have changed.

1045
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 4: I ain't. I ain't bet not a hat.

1046
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: No. I hate that.

1047
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 4: Baylor against that Baylor won in one and then they

1048
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 4: got bounced last year. Right, it wasn't in North Carolina

1049
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 4: beat damn that could be so they need some revenge.

1050
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 5: Okay, Baylor, Yeah, nice, you get users picked there.

1051
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: I didn't see that.

1052
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 3: Okay, you know what, I think Big twelve is actually

1053
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 3: a good basketball conference right now?

1054
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 5: That seems good to me.

1055
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 3: Baylor, it is Baylor, It is all right, Missouri Tigers

1056
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: versus the Utah State.

1057
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 5: Cougars. No, no idea what this one is.

1058
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, Utah is the Utes, b Yu is the

1059
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 3: Cougars Utah They nice?

1060
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah nice.

1061
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 3: So we're talking farmers versus Tigers here. The Tigers interesting. Interesting.

1062
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 3: I don't understand what net rank is. I understand how

1063
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 3: they generate that because the lower seeded Utah State Aggies,

1064
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 3: the tenth seed, have a higher net rank than the

1065
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 3: Missoo Tigers, So I don't know. Strength of schedule. Wow,

1066
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: you tall, looks like they've played a pretty solid time.

1067
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 3: I go in Utah here because we were just there too.

1068
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 5: Yeah nice, nice, Okay, I mean we went to Utah recently.

1069
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 5: Haven't been to Missouri in years.

1070
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, at this point, twenty nineteen was my last time

1071
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 3: in Missouri, I think. All right, Arizona Wildcats, Princeton Princess,

1072
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 3: Princeton Tires. I said a two to fifteen matchup between

1073
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 3: different feelines.

1074
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: You know you talked about like only one sixteenth seed

1075
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: ever winning a first round game. I believe that means

1076
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: then ten fifteen seeds in history have won that first

1077
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: round matchup. Okay, so pretty very rare, rare, ski very

1078
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 1: very rare, and I don't think it's happening in this one.

1079
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm team Arizona, Team Arizona.

1080
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they look like a talented bunch.

1081
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got ninety six percent of users have picked Arizona.

1082
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 3: So I'm with the ninety six percent on this one.

1083
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, Princeton, alright, Tigers.

1084
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 4: Yeah we got yeah, man, we got.

1085
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: To get our final four team from the South, final

1086
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 1: fourth team from the South.

1087
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 3: In our round of thirty two matchup, we got a

1088
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 3: one seed Alabama Crimson tied versus the nine seed West

1089
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 3: Virginia Mountain the years.

1090
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 5: Is it time for an upset? No? No, no, sending

1091
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 5: the one seed.

1092
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about college basketball, but I

1093
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: do know Alabama's look pretty damn good this year.

1094
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: They got a good draft prospect, Brandon Miller. A lot

1095
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 3: of controversy surrounding the team as well, that's true. San

1096
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 3: Diego State Aztecs versus Virginia Cavaliers talk about a bi

1097
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 3: coastal matchup. We're in the South.

1098
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: Where is that?

1099
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 5: Where's the South for this?

1100
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: Were they playing?

1101
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 5: Yeah? Where are they playing?

1102
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: I don't even I have no clue.

1103
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 5: My guess is that there will be more Virginia fans.

1104
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 5: Does that matter? Sometimes it does?

1105
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: To ask who you got in this one? Talk me

1106
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: into it, San Diego State or Virginia.

1107
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 4: Well you want to talk about it so we can

1108
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 4: figure it out. The thing is, when you talk about

1109
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 4: the second round, you just say the same things that

1110
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 4: you talked about in the first round, because that's all

1111
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 4: I know. You know, I'm out of information here, I got.

1112
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 4: I have my affinity for Virginia as I talked about.

1113
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 4: Can't get away from that.

1114
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Virginia Virginia.

1115
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 5: It is go to your gut, trust your gut. That's

1116
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 5: the key here, all right.

1117
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,720
Speaker 3: Next we have a matchup between the North Carolina State

1118
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,240
Speaker 3: wolf Pack. If the eleventh seed versus the three seed

1119
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 3: Baylor Bears and teams are more Our users are definitely

1120
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 3: more on the Baylor Bears. Sixty three percent of them

1121
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,520
Speaker 3: choosing Baylor to advance out of.

1122
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 4: The round, but only seven North Carolina State.

1123
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably to advance this round. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1124
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: That's why I'm going with the stick with Baylor. No way, man,

1125
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: this is the upset of all upsets. This one. People

1126
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: are gonna be talking.

1127
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 4: About Baylor was upset last year.

1128
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: That's exactly right to their head.

1129
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,479
Speaker 5: It's in their head.

1130
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,399
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just like I just want

1131
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: to see a double digit. I like to see a

1132
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: double digit flirting into that sweet sixteen. Yere we go.

1133
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 4: There were one seed last year and they lost in

1134
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 4: the second round. Oh jessy oh by another North Carolina,

1135
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 4: North Carol.

1136
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, there you go.

1137
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 4: See the story rights, It's wow wow.

1138
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 5: Okay. I like that.

1139
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 3: Then I like like the narrative element, because why not

1140
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 3: how about in the in our last round of thirty

1141
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 3: two matchup the Utah State Aggies the Arizona Wildcats. That's

1142
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 3: a ten versus a two. My guess is we're getting

1143
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 3: similar percentages here. Five percent have Utah State advancing to

1144
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteen, eighty two percent at the Wildcats.

1145
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a good game.

1146
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a big, good game, a couple of

1147
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 3: West Coast teams.

1148
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a close game. But well, I don't know,

1149
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess we're taking Arizona.

1150
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think number twos.

1151
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 3: Let's stay with Arizon to hear this one's for Bibby,

1152
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 3: that's for Mike Baby. All right, big choice here, Alabama

1153
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 3: or Virginia, A one versus a four, the number one

1154
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 3: overall seed versus a team who is known to show

1155
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: up in the postseason.

1156
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: I think we should take Alabama.

1157
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 5: You want to stayca.

1158
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm a little terrified that Virginia doesn't even make it

1159
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: past the first game, with a lot of people trying

1160
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: to convince me that firm and can beat them in.

1161
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: But we should just like, you know, you know, cover

1162
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 1: our ass a little bit, and even if we have

1163
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 1: Virginia winning a couple of games, that'll be fine. We'll

1164
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: still have big points there with Alabama in theory beating

1165
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: them excellent.

1166
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 3: Okay, how about the wolf Pack versus the Wildcats, dog

1167
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 3: versus cats. It really makes you think, Yeah, team dog,

1168
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,479
Speaker 3: your team dogs, cast team cat.

1169
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 4: I'm a team I'm team cat, one of the one

1170
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,320
Speaker 4: of the you got both? Should we bring in a

1171
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 4: ringer to give us the.

1172
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: Going?

1173
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 4: We know where we know? Are you going?

1174
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

1175
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: Dogs? Are cats? Man dogs?

1176
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 4: That's how we're picking dogs?

1177
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: All right? All right?

1178
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 4: Great? Wow?

1179
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 3: Wow one versus eleven? Are we sticking with the dogs

1180
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 3: or does anybody have an elephant at their home somehow?

1181
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 3: That's the mascot for Alabama Crimson.

1182
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: Elephant, the Elephant documentary. Just want an oscar. It's a

Speaker 1: like that.

1186
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 5: It's good.

1187
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: The Elephant whispers. Uh, that's Alabama going through to the

1188
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: final four. Okay, I think they are.

1189
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 5: That's my pick.

1190
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I've talked to you in gen Zee state

1191
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: this far, so I yeah, get off board.

1192
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 5: This is a good cover us for sure. All right,

1193
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 5: let's tick it out.

1194
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: All right, that's our first pick for our final four.

1195
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 5: Pick our final four?

1196
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:52,440

Speaker 5: Who will join them? Tune in tomorrow.

1198
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 1: All right, yes, what region are we going tomorrow? Then

1199
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: I guess the one below the south East?

1200
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 5: Oh, we're going to the East talking Purdue. Okay, ooh

1201
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 5: some big names here, big names?

1202
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Thanks, I do that on tomorrow show. Thanks again

1203
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: to Neutral for encouraging us to finally fill out a

1204
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: March Madness bracket here on the show. We'll take one

1205
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: more break when we come back. Pick the results, and

1206
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: a few tweeted the Knights don't go anywhere Friday night,

1207
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: pick them results. We had the Hawks Wizards game. It

1208
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,720
Speaker 1: was basically a pickum. Wizards had a point to play

1209
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: with as dogs, but the Hawks covered. Win for me,

1210
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: win for Trey. Tasks had the Wizards. You and I

1211
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: are three and five in March Trey very solid, six

1212
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: and two. What's tonight's game?

1213
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 4: We got a four versus six matchup in the Western Conference.

1214
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 4: The Suns going to visit the Golden State Warriors and

1215
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 4: they are four and a half point dogs. Obviously, No

1216
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 4: Durant feels like kind of a juicy lion. Though. For

1217
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 4: the Warriors to get four and a half points at home,

1218
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 4: they gotta win by five or more. Skeets got them though,

1219
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 4: tray and I think that the Suns will cover on

1220
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 4: the road.

1221
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: It's a tough one, tough one, especially that line there.

1222
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I could see the Warriors winning, will win

1223
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: by five or more, but I went and checked. I mean,

1224
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: we talked about their home record being amazing. When they

1225
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: went at home, they generally do win by a decent amount.

1226
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: So see if that can continue. I got the Warriors,

1227
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: they got to win by five or more. These guys

1228
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: got the Suns as the dogs. Okay, let's go to

1229
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: tweet of the night.

1230
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:26,640

1233
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: from the Pacers themselves. They tweeted a photo of coach

1234
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: Carlisle and fifty cent hanging out together, and there was

1235
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: a lot of get rick or die tri and retweets

1236
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: with this so well done, everybody. I saw like a

1237
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: million of those perfectly played Jim Carrey and fifty Cent

1238
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: there hanging out. Okay, that's it. It's just a photo.

1239
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 3: It's funny, fifty Rick Carlisle, you can imagine it in

1240
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 3: your head.

1241
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: But this one is probably the real winner of the weekend.

1242
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: When it comes to tweet of the weekend it is.

1243
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,919
Speaker 1: It's a retweet actually from at Less's MO Mike Budenholzer.

1244
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 1: If some Looney Tunes dynamite blew up in his face

1245
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: and there's a photo off, I assume a soccer coach.

00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't really know who this soccer slash football coach is,

1247
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: but man, is that not the perfect caption for this pick.

1248
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer, if some Looney Tunes dynamite blew off his face.

1249

1251
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,840

00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 2: There's literally no other way to discuss it.

1253
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: Perfect. That's exactly what it looks like.

1254
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 4: I saw this on the internet and I just hoped

1255
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: it would make it into our show.

1256
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:54,000
