52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: got some news. We'll talk about Darryl Mory and it's

53
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars.

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: Fine.

55
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: We've got Players of the week, but only five games

56
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: on last night, guys, so I thought we could sort

57
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: of touch on all of them, calling this five games

58
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: one thing. I'll you know, I'll give the score of

59
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: the game, and then you, guys, take it wherever you

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: want with something that jumped out at you from that

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: particular game. The biggest takeaway and the first game we

62
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: had the Grizzlies edging the nets in overtime one sixteen

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: one eleven, their first victory of the season. So that's good.

64
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: But I'll go first here. We're starting with the depressing news.

65
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: John Morant is the big takeaway from this one because

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: he left the game in a wheelchair after spraining his

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: left ankle in the second quarter. Now X rays on

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: his ankle revealed no fracture. Hey, thumbs up, that's good.

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: He is expected to undergo an MRI, I think as

70
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: soon as today, so we'll know if it is that

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: bad and he's going to be out for a significant

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: amount of time. But it was an ugly one ley

73
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: he landed awkwardly on TLC's foot while attempting to block

74
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: his shot and then just straight hopped it off the

75
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: floor like hopscotch and then was like on the ground

76
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: and they did bring up the wheel chop. But he

77
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: did return in the fourth He had the boot on,

78
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the protective boot on his left leg, so that I

79
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: guess that is a good thing. Trying to cheer on

80
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: his team and it ended up working. He gave him

81
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: a little, you know, moral support there and they pulled

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: it out in overtime. But this sucks. If there's no

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: joh Moran for the next couple weeks or whatever. They're

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: already missing Jeron Jackson Junior. They're in a lot of trouble.

85
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: If he's out for a significant time here.

86
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is certainly. Usually when a guy rolls his ankle, though,

87
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 4: he crumples in a heap on the ground.

88
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: Instead.

89
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: John Moran went like he was in an Olympic lung

90
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 4: jump event there, or the what's it called that hops

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: cripple ju triple job, That's what I'm thinking of. Yeah,

92
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: Like he bounced off the court there. But the good

93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: news is, yeah, he did seem to return, and I

94
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 4: think he's having an MRI. I think this morning to

95
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: sort of say, but I guess he probably misses at

96
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 4: least a game or two here, but hopefully not too

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: much longer. I think if it was a super serious injury,

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 4: they probably would have maybe said something last night or

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: we wouldn't have seen him. So that's what I'm hoping for.

100
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 1: Anyway.

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 4: The way that Jar Moran plays, you know, I've sort

102
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 4: of mentioned this before. It's not usually on the defensive end.

103
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: On the offensive endies he throws his body into everything

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: and that's what he was doing last night, and landing

105
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 4: on someone else's foot. That happens regularly in the NBA.

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 4: And unfortunately he did take a nasty four there. But yeah,

107
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: this game as well. I mean, obviously jar Morant going

108
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: out was bad, but the NBA has a real issue

109
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: here because going into this game, Durant and Kyrie Irving

110
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: just said no, thanks, we're not playing tonight. And that

111
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 4: really sucks because the seasons is shortened anyway, and if

112
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: we're four games into the season, two stars are just like, no,

113
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: I don't fancy it tonight. The NBA is trying to

114
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 4: prevent this from happening, but teams are just basically saying

115
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: we don't really care. I mean, a fine is not

116
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 4: going to deter us.

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 5: Now.

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 4: I understand load management. They're playing you back to back situation.

119
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 4: I understand why they do it. But the NBA right now,

120
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: I mean that they need as many eyes on the

121
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: TVs as possible because there's no fans in attendance. If

122
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: two of the biggest stars of the game are just

123
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: not even going to show up to play, that's going

124
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: to hurt the TV product even more so, even as

125
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: good as jam Moran is, as captivating as he is

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 4: to watch, because I remember, you know, last night I

127
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: was I looked at the schedule, Okay, great Moran versus

128
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: Durant in Currie, and then it's just like, no, we're

129
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 4: not playing. That's a real problem. That is a real

130
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: problem for the NBA, and I'm not sure exactly how

131
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 4: they deal with it, but because we know teams are

132
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 4: going to manage their stars, that is going to happen.

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: But four games into the season, I think it's a

134
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 4: very very bad look for the league and they and

135
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: they need to figure out a way to get on

136
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: top of this because, as I say, there's no fans

137
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 4: in attendance. Everyone's the only way we can watch is

138
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: on TV. And if two of the stars aren't there,

139
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are just like, well,

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 4: I'm not watching, I'm not tuning in for that.

141
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean do they not consider NBA TV one

142
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: of the national networks either? Which is the odd part

143
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: here because they came out prior to this season saying, hey, guys,

144
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: like like you're saying, Lee, you know, this is unprecedented time.

145
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: We need the stars to play. So if you're on ABC,

146
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: you're on ESPN, you're on TNT, you know these guys

147
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: should be playing. You know, despite unless they're actually injured,

148
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: these guys were resting, no doubt.

149
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: And they certainly aren't ever supposed to rest two stars

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: at the same time. That's the other thing. So yeah,

151
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 4: it's it's a bad look and it's a big problem

152
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 4: for the league.

153
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: I think, what do you.

154
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Think, Trey, I don't know.

155
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: I think that the key would maybe be staggering the

156
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: rest for these two, having Kevin Durant maybe rest yes

157
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: or two nights ago and Kyrie Irving rest last night.

158
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: Because the Nets have played four times in the first

159
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: week of the season, this was their third game in

160
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: four nights. In a season that we're going to be

161
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: playing seventy two games in a little bit of a

162
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: condensed schedule, there's gonna be times where people are going

163
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: to rest. It's a little surprising, no doubt, to see

164
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: it the first week of the season, but the Nets

165
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: have been busy, busier than most teams. You know, they're

166
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: four games into their seat and already, so I'm not surprised.

167
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: And the season that picked up right where, right where

168
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 3: it left off. You know, we only had seventy one

169
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: days in between. Obviously, Kevin Durant was out for eighteen months.

170
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: They're gonna be very careful with him. Kyrie Irving only

171
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: played twenty games last season. They're gonna be very careful

172
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: with him. We're gonna see a lot of this resting,

173
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: and if it's in that it's an area where you're

174
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: playing three games in four nights and he played four

175
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: in a week. I kind of think it's the right move,

176
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: especially two guys coming off injuries. Maybe you stagger him.

177
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: Maybe that's something Steve Nash talks to with management and

178
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 3: with the front office eventually, but guys are gonna be

179
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 3: getting rest this season. I don't think that's going to

180
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 3: be changing. And it definitely does show you where NBA

181
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: TV falls in the oh yeah, hierarchy of national TV.

182
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, that's what That's what's confusing to me.

183
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: It's their own network and they're like, well, you know,

184
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: it's a specialty national channel, and they're like, okay, I

185
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: guess we're not gonna penalize them for resting these guys.

186
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: But a nice resiliency by the Grizzlies to pick up

187
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: the win. You know, I don't want to gloss over

188
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: that because the Jah Morant and these guys' resting news

189
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: Kyleie Anderson slow Mo tasks huge career high. I had

190
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: to do like a sort of a double take on

191
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: that one. I was career high twenty eight points. I mean,

192
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: that is a lot, but I would have thought he

193
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: maybe had hit thirty for whatever reason once in his career.

194
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: He's in't round for a little bit. But Dylan Brooks

195
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: adding twenty four. He was great in the you know,

196
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: in regulation, not so hot in overtime. I thought Dylan Brooks,

197
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: but you know, Clark had a big go ahead basket late.

198
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Valanchunas was doing his things, throwing his big body around

199
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: fourteen and fourteen. A nice win, especially considering the Ja

200
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: Morant injury could have been pretty deflating, deflating, defleting, but

201
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: they got it done. What do you think of this

202
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: one around?

203
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: All right?

204
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Anything we're talking about around this game.

205
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 5: Well, it's it is a great win for the Grizzlies

206
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: to pick up their first victory of the season because

207
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: you think going into Brooklyn without their top three players

208
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 5: in the end, without John Morant during Jackson Junior and

209
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 5: Justice wins Low is hurt, and they get a w

210
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 5: as big The worry some part is without John Morant,

211
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 5: who is their second best player on the floor. If

212
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: those other guys are injured and it was Kyle Anderson,

213
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: that doesn't happen very often, the offense running through Kyle

214
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: Anderson and Dylan Brooks and a little Jonas Valanciunas and

215
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 5: they get the W. It's a real, real good win

216
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 5: for them on the road. You'd still expect the Nets

217
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: with Karris Lvert to get it done on that side,

218
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: so good w for them. Obviously. Yeah, you're not being

219
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 5: the nets best players because when the trainers are telling them, hey,

220
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 5: you guys are gonna sit this game, it's really a

221
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 5: schedule sit. That's the unfortunate part. I think the NBA

222
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 5: knows when they draw up the schedule, Oh, this is

223
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 5: gonna be three game in four nights. Oh, Kevin Durant

224
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 5: hasn't played in eighteen months, Kyrie Irving hasn't been They

225
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 5: know that they're going to sit at some point. Really,

226
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: in a perfect world, these games would be more spread out.

227
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 5: And I think Kevin Durant wants to play every game.

228
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 5: It's not like he wants to sit, but he's being

229
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 5: told to sit. So it's a schedule thing. If there's

230
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 5: no back to backs, there's no excuse. Really, it should

231
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 5: be like eurobass ball, where there's two games a week. Ideally,

232
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: you know there's there's a game off in between. But

233
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: them's the breaks. They know what they're doing. I know

234
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 5: they've you know, lessened the the back to backs and

235
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 5: that's the way it's. Uh, they're trying to progress. But

236
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 5: in this situation here where we're they're jamming in seven

237
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: months of a season plus you have to take into

238
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: account things like the Rockets where they miss a game

239
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: because of the coronavirus and tracing, and you have to

240
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 5: not miss a game, but the game is postponed. You

241
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 5: got to cram him in there. And uh, you know,

242
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 5: this ended up being a fun game at the end

243
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 5: that goes into overtime even without those stars. And I

244
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 5: like the move by new head coach Steve Nash. Nine

245
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: seconds left in ot Grizzlies inbounding the ball up one,

246
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 5: so the Nets have to foul. They can't just let

247
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 5: the clock go and Nash doesn't elect Alex Not to

248
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 5: guard the inbounder. Love that six guys trail and five guys.

249
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 5: I love the math there. I love it. Unfortunately they

250
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 5: couldn't come up with the steel. But I like watching Nash.

251
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: I think him and Dan TONI they're going to be

252
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: creative on that side. They're going to do some things there.

253
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: So it was it was a good watch either.

254
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Even it was, but but Lee is right, I know.

255
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: I was like, when I saw the news that both

256
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: of those guys weren't playing Katie and Kyrie, I was

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: obviously less excited to be tuning into NBA TV to

258
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: catch it. It turned into an exciting game when I

259
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: was watching, obviously down the stretch and in overtime. But yeah,

260
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: it's like, well, that sucks what these guys are playing.

261
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: It's a national game. It's a national game too. I

262
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: mean DBE is a national channel. This is the part

263
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't get because, like they

264
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: came out prior to the season saying, you know, we

265
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: will find you guys if you are resting stars in

266
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: in marquee games. But yeah, like Trey said, I guess

267
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: they don't consider NBA TV all that marquee. It's just perplexing.

268
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: One final little random note from this game. I love

269
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies baby blue jerseys. I love how it looks

270
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: sort of looks really cool on the nets court too.

271
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: I just like the how the colors look. But man,

272
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: do those things on some guys look so sweaty? Like instantly,

273
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: like Valan shooting the Brooks. Dylan Brooks is an underrated sweaty.

274
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: Guy, very sweaty.

275
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there and that blue just changes color. It's hypercolor, man.

276
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: So I don't I get, I don't. I like the

277
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: overall look, but they need to figure out the fabric

278
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: or something. It gets a little too dark for my

279
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: liking their tray. I don't know if you have.

280
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: Any Yeah, a light blue jersey is similar to a

281
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: gray jersey or perhaps a gray crew neck sweatshirt. You're

282
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: showing those sweat stains, baby, and the Grizzlies. You throw

283
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 3: in the fact that they got the tiny little numbers

284
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: on the front. It can make a man like Dylan

285
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: Brooks look a little sweaty and dumpy, No doubt about it.

286
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 3: That I just look slovenly out there chucking up the shots.

287
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: But you know, jaw pulls it off. He's very skinny. Yeah,

288
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: it doesn't make him look very chunky. They're gonna need

289
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 3: him back soon because once you're watching the nets, they

290
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: pulled off that win last night. But if you're asking

291
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: Greg and Allen Dylan Brooks, yeah, the Grizzlies graceon Allen

292
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks, Kyle Anderson, valentoutis to carry you on offense.

293
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be yeah, very easy. It's turned into

294
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: a little bit of a curse season for the Grizzlies.

295
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: Hopefully they get some good news with Joff.

296
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Tyas Jones are a backup point guard who's

297
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: like a decent backup point guard. I think in this

298
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: league has really struggled so far. So I think they'll

299
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: just go with what you were saying, tasks like our

300
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: point guard is Kyle Anderson, Like I mean, they'd run

301
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot through him as it is walk up through him.

302
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: They walk a lot through nice Well said. So if

303
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: there is no Ja Morant for the next couple of weeks,

304
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: well you're gonna be relying heavily on him. If you're

305
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: playing fantasy basketball and you don't got Colin Anderson, he's

306
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: available somehow, go grab him right now. He's gonna put

307
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: up some numbers. I think they're in Memphis. If Ja

308
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: Morant misses some significant time, Okay, let's keep it moving here.

309
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: Next game, Lee, you're gonna get a start a Trey Young.

310
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: He leads the Hawks to a three to zero start.

311
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: Oh baby, undefeated. They defeat the Pistons one twenty eight

312
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: to one twenty What's your one big thing from this victory?

313
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 4: Tom Zilla's newsletter this morning. The title was scores and stuff,

314
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 4: and I think that's appropriate. I think this was a

315
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: score and stuff game from last night the Hwaks one try.

316
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: Young was actually held relatively quiet if you go by

317
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: the way he usually plays, because he only took thirteen shots.

318
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: He had fifteen for fifteen from a three free throw

319
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: line of twenty nine points and six assists. But it

320
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: was a pretty comfortable victory here for the Hawks. They

321
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 4: kind of led from start to finish. You got some

322
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: good contributions from everybody who played on that team. Rondo

323
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: made his debut. He was quite good for the Hawks.

324
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 4: Bogdan Bogdanovitch is a beautiful shooter of the basketball. That's

325
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: what I really enjoy watching. But dear Mood, yes he did. Yes,

326
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 4: ten players, they went ten deep the Hawks there, Lloyd

327
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: Pierce and everybody actually contributed, which was which was good.

328
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: But another game where two stars sat out, Blake Griffin

329
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 4: and Derrick Rose. Now it's not you know, they're not

330
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: the same stars they used to be in their day.

331
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: But I really looked at the young Pistons Rusher and

332
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: I thought, you know what, though they are clearly in

333
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 4: rebuild mode, there's clearly they're on a different timeline for

334
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: Rose and Blake Griffin. But both those two guys have

335
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 4: some trade value. So I was actually working the trade

336
00:15:59,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: machine this morn.

337
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what do you got man?

338
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 4: Blake Griffin's contract is so tough. It is so tough

339
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 4: because I tried to find a look. Look, I think

340
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 4: he like two seasons ago. Yeah, two seasons ago, not

341
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 4: last season one before he was all NBA. Remember, he

342
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 4: had a really good season, Blake griffind and he's only

343
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 4: thirty one. It feels like he's older than that. And

344
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: in the games he has played so far, he's looking fine,

345
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: so I think he's still got something to contribute. But

346
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: he's on a team that's nowhere near contention. So I thought,

347
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get into a team that I think

348
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: is not really a contender, but they're in the playoffs

349
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: for sure, and they need a player who else can

350
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 4: create and still score. So I'm trying to get into

351
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 4: the Blazers. I'm trying to you know this talk about

352
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: the Blazers going for Kevin Love.

353
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't.

354
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: I don't think that's gonna happen right now for a

355
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: couple of reasons. I think Kevin Love's just you need

356
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 4: to see him on the court. First, he's injured right now,

357
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: and you need to see him to be able to

358
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: perform where if Blake Griffin can. But Lake's contract at

359
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 4: thirty six million dollars for this season and next season

360
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 4: just make almost impossible because you're not going to give

361
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: up obviously CJ or damon that deal. You're trying to

362
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: get them some little pieces here. So the best I've

363
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 4: got so far, which doesn't even work, is Covington and

364
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: Rodney Hood who just.

365
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Signed with him.

366
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 4: They can't have be traded for a couple of months

367
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 4: yet anyway, and they're still fourteen million dollars short, so

368
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 4: we need I'm I'm trying to get that third team involved.

369
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: There something okay?

370
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: Working this all week?

371
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

372
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: Look, look, I think Robert Covington was actually good signing

373
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 4: for the Blazers. I like his defense. He's a three

374
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 4: and D guy.

375
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 2: I like that.

376
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: But of course I think you would give him up

377
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: in this situation. And Rodney Hood the same Blake I

378
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: think is better than either of those guys. So I

379
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 4: need to find that third team, which I'm still working.

380
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to find that just yet.

381
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: But I do think.

382
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: Blake on the Blazers would actually be a good fit

383
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 4: at this stage of his career. And I think the

384
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 4: Blazers could use him as well, because again, you can

385
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: dump the ball to him. He's got that little mid range.

386
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 4: He's still strong enough. He's a bit like Zack Roundoff.

387
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 4: You can still body guys, you can step out and

388
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 4: hit the three. You know, he's never going to be

389
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 4: the Blake, the old Lob City Blake that's gone, but

390
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 4: that's fine. He doesn't have to be. He can still

391
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 4: be a very very decent player, and I think that's

392
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: what the Blazers are still missing. I know we'll get

393
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: to them a little bit later on. I think they've

394
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: improved from last season, but I still don't really think

395
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: they're a contender. I think Blake could improve them. And again,

396
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: if you're the Pistons, if you can get out from

397
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 4: under his contract, I think you do that because clearly

398
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 4: they're moving forward in a different direction with some of

399
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: the younger players who who actually looked okay last night,

400
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: So no. Getting back to the Hawks Pistons game. It's

401
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: a game. It's a game that happened.

402
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: The Hawks twenty three. They over the first time in

403
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: a couple of years.

404
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, they play Brooklyn next. That's actually

405
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 4: the key here for the Hawks because they have one.

406
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 4: They are three and know but they've beaten the Grizzlies twice.

407
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 4: I think they played the Grizzlies. Actually sorry, okay, so

408
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: Bulls Grizzly Pistons, I mean not.

409
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: You know, hey, look, if the Hawks want to make

410
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: the playoffs, was the exactly exactly this is.

411
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 4: This is important for the Hawks to win these games

412
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 4: to keep Tree young happy. But the game itself, look,

413
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: it's hot to watch sometimes because it's like, it wasn't

414
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 4: a super exciting game. I'll be honest, I made it

415
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 4: wasn't it was. It was like, good to see the

416
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 4: Hoaks win, good to see bunk down Bogdanovitch yet there.

417
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: But again, the Pistons a young team. The two stars

418
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 4: aren't even playing. If the Hoaks can't win that game,

419
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 4: then they're in real trouble.

420
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: Right right. The Pistons are fascinating because you said their

421
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: stars aren't playing. But when they were playing prior games.

422
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: You know, they're playing heavy minutes, like Casey's in this

423
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: weird thing where he's trying to win games because he

424
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: wants to keep his job probably, And but that we

425
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: all talked about the Pistons like, really they should be

426
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: in complete rebuilding mode, like they should tank, you know,

427
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: honestly be one of the rare teams that should go

428
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: for the number one pick here and they could use

429
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: that injection into their roster. And they have all this

430
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: young talent, so like throw it out there, see what

431
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: you got in Killian Hayes and do Moue and stuff

432
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: like that. So it was almost like, I almost it's

433
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: a weird one because I preferred those guys not playing

434
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: last nightly because I want to see the Pistons, who

435
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: actually were. They played pretty well in the loss. They

436
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: made it a game, you know, they i'd a pretty

437
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: close down stretch. I got a little two liking I

438
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: think for Lloyd Pierce and the Hawks. But yeah, it's

439
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: just a weird. It's gonna be a weird year here

440
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: for De Troit. And we said prior to the start

441
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: of the season, play these play rows, play Blake, try

442
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: and see if they have their trade value, get high

443
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: as im possible, and then make a deal, and maybe

444
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen. Sorry, I interjected their attask

445
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna say something.

446
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 5: Well, it was the young guys for the Hawks too,

447
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 5: playing at the end because Clint Capella, I guess they're

448
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 5: sort of limiting his minutes in his first game back,

449
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: and Danilo Gallinari is injured. So I think Lord Lloyd

450
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 5: Pierce has done a good job even though they're they

451
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 5: haven't played great competition. They've managed the rotation of a

452
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 5: billion guys pretty well because they have a serious glut.

453
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 5: But they've got so many guys that have been injured.

454
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 5: Gallinari's missed two of three games, Rondo's missed two of

455
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: three games, and Yaka Congo has missed all the games.

456
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 5: Clint Coppel's missed two of three games. Chris Dunn is

457
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 5: going to be out for a long time. He's missed

458
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 5: all three games. But they managed it pretty well to

459
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 5: get to three and zero, and they had their young

460
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 5: guys playing at the end. Which is that their future.

461
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 5: I'm not sure. There's so many question marks, and that

462
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 5: brings me to my next question is Clincipella plays his

463
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 5: first game and he's a minus ten playing alongside John

464
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 5: Collins Clincpel not one hundred percent yet, But that's the

465
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 5: question in the front coart. Are those two guys gonna

466
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: play together, and they play together, are they going to

467
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 5: be successful? Are they going to put up positive points?

468
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 5: Because they didn't last night. They took Clint Copel off

469
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 5: the floor and then John Collins was Roman and he

470
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 5: did his thing alongside Trey Young. That's where he does

471
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: his thing in the lane. So those guys still haven't

472
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: played together yet. When they played Brooklyn twice Wednesday and Fridays,

473
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 5: when they play them both at Brooklyn to reduce the

474
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 5: travel here in COVID times, those are gonna be tough

475
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 5: games for the Hawks and Lloyd Pierce is going to

476
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 5: have to manage again those rotations that there's just so

477
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 5: many guys and there's so many minutes to be m

478
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 5: boged down. Badavich has come off the bench two of

479
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 5: three times, so that's that's a pretty positive for Lloyd.

480
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 5: Appears to have managed it so far to be one

481
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: of the four undefeated teams remaining in the game, but

482
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 5: there's questions they haven't signed John Collins yet. Where do

483
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 5: They didn't give him that extension. They're just managing guys

484
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 5: and it is fun because you get to see these

485
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: young guys DeAndre Hunter, who I think has grown, and

486
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 5: you get to see the oldies. It's a nice team

487
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 5: to root for, especially with those beauty jerseys night in,

488
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 5: night out. They have no jerseys that miss whether they're

489
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: playing in their third jersey, their city edition, whatever they're called.

490
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 5: They're all bangers, so they're all fun. They're all good

491
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 5: to watch, especially on this Brooklyn court. I'm looking forward

492
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 5: to how they they balance out on the gray scale

493
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 5: there because it's an interesting court. They've gone in Brooklyn

494
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 5: with the I wonder if they go black the Hawks do.

495
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 5: I don't know, but it's gonna look pretty On Wednesday.

496
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: Night the Hawks also at State Farm Arena, they went

497
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: with the video board, which is I do like because

498
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: instead of covering the seats with like a sponsorship logo

499
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, they actually, like we sort of

500
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: saw to some extent in the bubble, it's just just

501
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: video boards there. You're still getting your ads, still getting

502
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: your Chick fil A and your ups ads, but it

503
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: does look nicer on the broadcast. What did you think

504
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: of the Hawks Pistons game? Was it just a score

505
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: to you, Trey or whatever?

506
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: It's a game? What a catchphrase? I don't know.

507
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: The Hawks to me seem to be as advertised, you know,

508
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 3: like you guys are mentioning they have real depth now,

509
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: they have an actual bench. They're running out Bog Bog

510
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 3: Rondo Herder, even Solomon Hill, Bruno Fernando had a decent

511
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: game last night. These are NBA level players. It's not

512
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 3: gonna last like this for the rest of the season.

513
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: But right now the Hawks have eight guys in double

514
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 3: figure scoring. The offense is great twenty threes. But like

515
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: you're saying, Skeets, he got pretty close for comfort there

516
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 3: at the end, because once the Hawks got up by

517
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: twenty four, I think that's about seven minutes left, it.

518
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: Felt like they kind of just stopped playing.

519
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: You know, it felt like Mason Plumley had one hundred

520
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: dunks in those finals that admit.

521
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: It's like they're just waltzed down the lane. Hand it

522
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 2: to Mason Plumbley. He would dunk it.

523
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: You're like, is that Henry Allenson, No, No, it's Mason Plumbley.

524
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: We got big guys for days over here. But I

525
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 3: was enjoying the Hawks. The jerseys do look great. You

526
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: gotta beat the bad teams. It wasn't just a score

527
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: to me. The Hawks are figuring out how to play together.

528
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: They've got a whole bunch more pieces. They've got more

529
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: pieces that they're going to be adding as well once

530
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 3: Nilo Gallinari is able to get on the court, And

531
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a matter of figuring out how those

532
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 3: actually fit because it feels like John Collins and Clint

533
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: Capella are kind of in the same position. They're both

534
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: best as rim runners, and they both would likely fit

535
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 3: best with Denilo Gallinari as a stretch for outside of them.

536
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: So we'll see how Lloyd Pierce is able to navigate

537
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 3: his rotations as the season continues.

538
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: But great first week for the Hawks.

539
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, circle all around. I was tweeting last night,

540
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: Who's trading for John Collins? Maybe the Blazers shows us

541
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: not worry about Blake Griffin Lely and try and make

542
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: an offer for John Collins. Could be had.

543
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 4: Sure they could definitely get in contract. Let me yeah,

544
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 4: let me.

545
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: See what you fire on. I did see this morning

546
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: justin Kubatko tweeting that Trey Young is the first player

547
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: in NBA history to score at least one hundred points

548
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: through his first three games of the season while attempting

549
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: fewer than fifty shots from the field. Because you said it, Lee,

550
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: this guy has shot forty six free throws already. He's

551
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: forty two for forty six at the line. Tree Young

552
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: ninety three percent awesome, eight to nineteen from distance and

553
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: then shooting really good fifty three percent from the floor overall,

554
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and two points for through the first three games.

555
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: He is a Well, he's at the conversation. He's at

556
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: the table for MVP early on in this year, one weekend.

557
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: There is no doubt, and so is this guy. Let's

558
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: go to the next game. Jokic monster stat line, little boy,

559
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: he got it. Today he helps the Nuggets to their

560
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: first win. They took care of the Rockets one twenty

561
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: four to one to eleven. Task get as started. Biggest

562
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: takeaway from Denver's first win in the season.

563
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: Well, if you don't want to play defense, Denver is

564
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 5: going to cut you. And as James Harden said post game,

565
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 5: he said, we haven't really had any practices altogether. Hopefully

566
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 5: practice on Wednesday, ready to go Thursday.

567
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: But there's always one guy missing at these practices. We're

568
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: trying to find the guy who's missing.

569
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and yeah, Harden is culpable for not being there

570
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 5: along with you know, there's there's guys out big time

571
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: because of a contract contact tracing with the Rockets. No

572
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: John Wall, no DeMarcus Cousins, no Eric Gordon, and uh,

573
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 5: it was a little different in the Rockets first game.

574
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: They're playing Portland. That's a little bit more standard operationally.

575
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 5: We play the pick and roll and our guards make

576
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 5: things happen, right and uh and this one Jokic at

577
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 5: the top, you know, let's let's run some backdoor cutters

578
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 5: and they just they got cut up, they got beat.

579
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 5: And so the Rockets are zero and two because they

580
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: lost to that Blazers game in overtime. Nothing to be,

581
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 5: nothing to scoff at. That's all right, that's all right

582
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 5: to lose that game. And they lost this one here

583
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 5: and that's okay. For James Harden. He still looks very tradable.

584
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 5: He still had a really good game. So I think

585
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 5: the Rockets are feeling pretty good. I think Steven Salas

586
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 5: in the head coaching spot feels pretty good, especially with

587
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 5: all those guys out there. Starting lineup of James Harden,

588
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 5: Christian Wood, PJ.

589
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: Tucker.

590
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 5: Those guys are gonna be starters, Daniel House and David Nwaba.

591
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 5: Maybe you know John Wall subs in for House or

592
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: something like that, because they have a pretty good defensive

593
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 5: lineup with Nwaba, who you know. People just don't really

594
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 5: know about that guy because he's been injured. He's sort

595
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 5: of a defensive guy. But they I make that point

596
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 5: because they could be a good team. They could have

597
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 5: a nice balance between offensive defense. And I don't know

598
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 5: where Cousins fits in the starting lineup or not, but

599
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 5: they're solid and they just have to practice. But they

600
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 5: haven't had the chance in these short training camps, and

601
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: your star players is partying up a little bit, being skinny,

602
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 5: being fat, being fat, being skinny, working out, not working out.

603
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 5: He hasn't been the leader that the Rockets need. But

604
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 5: I don't know if the Rockets really care at this point,

605
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: because James Harden looks good. If they trade him, they're

606
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 5: going to get some value for him. And he looked

607
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 5: good again last night, although he didn't have quite the

608
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 5: legs that he did in the first game against the Blazers,

609
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: but either did his teammates, and I guess because that's

610
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 5: because they don't practice. So hopefully they get on that.

611
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 5: They have a couple of days off before Thursday, and

612
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 5: John Wall Cousins and Gordon are going to be back,

613
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 5: so they'll be They'll be good. And that's the weird

614
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: part about this Western Conference. They could easily make the playoffs,

615
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 5: as we said, and the Nuggets needed their first win,

616
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: so done and done play a Rockets team that wasn't

617
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 5: really ready defensively and they got it.

618
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: Do yourself a favor if you haven't watched the highlights

619
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: from Y'll kitchen this game and go watch his passes,

620
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: because the task perfectly said, he just carved them up.

621
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: You would imagine that. I think Yo kich would be

622
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: on the short list. If you like pulled a bunch

623
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: of NBA players like who would you most want to

624
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: play with? I would think you he would be on

625
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people's lists, because, my god, if you move,

626
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: he is going to find you, and he's going to

627
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: find the most crazy angles because he's such a giant

628
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: that he can just dump it over people and he

629
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: can wrap it around people and he's like, has the

630
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: most incredible touch for a guy his size. Uh that

631
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: that everyone would want to play with him, Trey. I

632
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: just like watching the highlights, like that that pass, that passed,

633
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: That pass, Like not many guys even see that's there.

634
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: Let alone try it, and it's more times than not

635
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: right on the spot.

636
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: No doubt.

637
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: Well.

638
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: A fun game I like to play when I'm watching

639
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 3: Nikola Jokic highlights is to pause it before he passes,

640
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: because you're like, who's open here, who's open? Who's getting

641
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: the ball? It looks like it could be going to

642
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: the corner, It looks like it could be under the hoop.

643
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: Sometimes you don't even have to move to get a

644
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 3: pass from Nikola Jokic. I felt like there were so

645
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: many times where it'd be Michael Porter Junior spotted up

646
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: in the corner, Paul millsap but just kind of wander

647
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 3: underneath the basket and suddenly he's wide open. Because you

648
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: think Jokich is gonna go out to Michael Porter Junior

649
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: in the corner, sometimes he does. It looks like the

650
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: exact same pass. Sometimes it's a three pointer, sometimes it's

651
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 3: a layup. You talk about him being in the MVP mix,

652
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that he could lead this league

653
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 3: in assists eighteen last night. He's currently leading the league

654
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: at fourteen assists per game. He was running the fast

655
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: break linst Yeah, he was not like Jokis jogging up

656
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: the court. He was sprinting finding guys on the break.

657
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: He has been ready to go since the beginning of

658
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: the season, And like tass Is saying, if you're not

659
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 3: able to practice, if you're not able to get your

660
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 3: defense on the same page, it's knives out with Nikola Jokic.

661
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: He's got great chemistry with Gary Harris, Paul millsapp he's

662
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: developing it with Michael Porter Junior. I think you know

663
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: Michael Porter obviously as a guy who likes to have

664
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands and figure out how to

665
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: score that way. But learning to playoff in Nikola Joki

666
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: will make things even easier for Michael Porter Junior.

667
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: Good stuff from the big man.

668
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no doubt they are developing chemistry Michael Porter

669
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: Junior and him. Yollkic threw him a pass into the

670
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: post like where there was bodies all around Michael Porter Junior,

671
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: but he like threw it in the one spot, like

672
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: the only spot. I'm convinced that Porter could catch it

673
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: and then sort of power through and go up. I

674
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw that clip, it's like just

675
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: like he caught it. It was a beautiful catch too. Oh.

676
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: I just love watching him play. Yeah, the nineteen eighteen

677
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: and twelve is forty second triple double. Did he pass

678
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: or tie Fat Lever for the most triple doubles in

679
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: Nugget's history, one or the other there? Yeah, Yeah, it's

680
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: it's a blast to watch, and he is going to

681
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: lead the league and assists if his guys hit threes,

682
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: because that's the other thing with Yokich. Yeah, it's all

683
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: the highlight passes. But if he sees the guy in

684
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: the corner that's open, he just zips it. He's lebron like,

685
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: we just whoop right over there, and like you're gonna

686
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: get a good look if you hit it. That's an

687
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: assist for him. He'll get a whole lot that way.

688
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: You got a whole lot in this game. I thought

689
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: that way, not just the back door cutting and the

690
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: little dump passes inside the other guys, just flying it

691
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: over to these open guys in the corner. Fun to

692
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: watch Lee and he is definitely at the table for

693
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: MVP conversation.

694
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he even catches the broadcast team. They're off

695
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 4: god sometimes because they don't even say those passes, you know,

696
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 4: the sort of see him and then all of a

697
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: sudden someone's cutting baselines well inside scores it like.

698
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're still spoiled that last night. I can't

699
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: was watching this game later on that night they said

700
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: that he missed he missed the guy cutting back door.

701
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: At one point they're like, oh, he missed him, and

702
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: then they're like, that's all spoiled. There are like at

703
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: the tiny sliver that they were saying that he missed

704
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: the guy cutting back door, it's like, okay, guys, good by.

705
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 4: And for the one that actually gave him the triple double,

706
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: I think as well, they sort of thought, I wonder

707
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: if they will give him that assist And it was

708
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 4: like in the NBA, I mean that absolutely was assists.

709
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: He just dumped it over to I think it was

710
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: Monte Morris, I believe. I'm not sure, but anyway, that's

711
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: the thing, like it was one of a standard pass

712
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 4: from him, because it's we've seen so many electric ones otherwise,

713
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 4: it was kind of like, oh, this this pass doesn't

714
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 4: seem to be one of Nicola Jokicch's specialties. But you

715
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 4: know Trey Mench as well, it's going to bring that up.

716
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 4: One thing I really noticed, and I think this is

717
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 4: because the team was it was their first winner of

718
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: the season last night. Jokich was actually hustling by pushing

719
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 4: the ball last night. He's kind of got that slower

720
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: way of moving up the court. Sometimes they just walked

721
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 4: the ball up past half court. But last night it

722
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: was like, we've got to get out there and we've

723
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: got to actually make sure we crush this team and

724
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 4: finish the job. Because the Rockets can always score. You know,

725
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: Harden's always capable. Especially in that first half. He was

726
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 4: hitting those shots, and even though it was about a

727
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: ten point game, no lead is safe. So that's what

728
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 4: I think he saw from the team last night. And

729
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: Yan Jokich, I mean, right now, he's what twenty four

730
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: fourteen and twelve on the season. That's twelve rebounds, fourteen assists.

731
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 4: I mean, a triple double for the season has to

732
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: be really in play right now for him. And I

733
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: mean imagine that, imagine he does that and he's also

734
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 4: shooting the ball very very well. So yeah, he's gotten

735
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 4: off to a very good start this year. Forty three

736
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 4: percent from downtown, sixty two percent from the field. I mean,

737
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: you know a lot of those shots, you know, he

738
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 4: just sort of inside and he flips them up. In fact,

739
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 4: he probably would have a higher percentage because a couple

740
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: of those shots yeah, he makes are actually his own

741
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: putbacks as well. So you know he does flip them

742
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: up there and occasionally they don't go in. And it's

743
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: not he's not bouncing off the floor like Anthony Davis

744
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: or Dwight Howard anyone. He's just sort of he's playing

745
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 4: that handball, just keeps tapping it up, tapping it up and.

746
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Eventually goes in.

747
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, this is this is important for the Nuggets

748
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 4: that he starts playing this way from the start of

749
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 4: the season because you know, we've mentioned in the past

750
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 4: that he's a bit of a slow starter. But he

751
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 4: doesn't have November this year, so we straight into December,

752
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 4: straight into that MVP conversation. And for the Nuggets, again,

753
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 4: they've got expectations this year, so it was important for

754
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 4: them to get on the wind in the wind column

755
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 4: last night.

756
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jamal Murray did have a good game too in

757
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: this one before he had to leave with I guess

758
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: was a head injury, right, doesn't seem too serious. He

759
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: was back on the bench, didn't check back into the game,

760
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: but he hopefully is okay. Good win for the Nuggets

761
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: and go check out those highlights. It's so much fun

762
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: to watch, especially again in his size, is just zipping

763
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: the ball around all right. Next game, Lillard and the Blazers,

764
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: they rallied in the fourth. They dropped the Lakers one

765
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: fifteen to one oh seven. Tray big takeaway from Portland

766
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: beat in La.

767
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned Damian Lillard and he was great, no

768
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 3: doubt about it, doing the classic Lillard thing of getting

769
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 3: people involved early, taken over in the fourth quarter. Eight

770
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 3: points for Lillard in the fourth and it kind of

771
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 3: just felt like he was going at Montrez Harral every

772
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: single time he could. But the Lakers are still experimenting

773
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: with their rotations. They're playing for July, they ain't playing

774
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 3: for December. But the big story to me, Gary Trent

775
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: Junior is back. Had he really left, had he really arrived?

776
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 3: It's hard to say he was great in the bubble

777
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: and it seemed like he was going to be an

778
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: instrumental part of this Portland team. He got just six

779
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: minutes in their last game. He played a bunch in

780
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: their opener. But Gary Trent Junior was great last night.

781
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 3: Seven threes. He finished with twenty eight points, and he

782
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: was just hitting some bonkers threes, pull ups off the dribble,

783
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: some coming off.

784
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 2: A screen, some just catching shoot.

785
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: To me, he's a guy that needs to be playing

786
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: a lot for the Blazers just because he maybe he's

787
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: a streaky shooter, but he seems to be a pretty

788
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: solid shooter. He's gonna give effort defensively, and he just

789
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: brings a little bit of an attitude to the team.

790
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 5: I think.

791
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 3: I think they play hard when he's out there. Everybody

792
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: gets fired up when he's on fire. I liked what

793
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 3: I saw from Gary Trent and I want to see

794
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 3: more of it.

795
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, awesome. Seven three is huge. Huge.

796
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, what do you think of him in this game?

797
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: Tray? He is?

798
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about MVP picks. A lot of

799
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: people had him fine. You know, Lebron maybe would be

800
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: talking him up, but he was just like like a zombie.

801
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: I thought to this game he was doing nothing and like, again,

802
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: you're right, they're the champs, Like who cares? Like is

803
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: this early? You just played, you know, seventy five days

804
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: ago your season, but not looking good for his MVP chances.

805
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm getting at, because I don't think

806
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna put the effort in. Like it was embarrassingly

807
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: like checked out, I thought, mentally, and Lebron was Lebron

808
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: was still doing Lebron things. But Ad was like two

809
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: points in the first half, and you know, shot like

810
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: three or four times in the second half, like you

811
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: couldn't care less.

812
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's exactly right. He ended up with what

813
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 3: four points on fourteen shots. Third game in four nights,

814
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 3: fourth out of the week for the Lakers. Which would

815
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: you rather have Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant not playing

816
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 3: and getting some time for your young guys or Anthony

817
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: Davis going out there and half assn't it for an.

818
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 4: Well, he didn't play the night before he had that contusion.

819
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 4: I think they sat in his carf and so when

820
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: he missed that one game and then he was back

821
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 4: with no minutes restriction, it was like, well, he obviously

822
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 4: just sat out the game, but maybe he was injured,

823
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 4: but certainly his attitude last night was like, I don't

824
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 4: really want to play tonight. I don't feel like it,

825
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 4: which is weird. Which is weird because anytime you see

826
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: Davis and Lebron playing, they try to win games. Like

827
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: Lebron doesn't ever like losing under any circumstances, even though

828
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 4: we know that he does cruise along. So to have

829
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 4: them both out there playing and you know, the Blazers

830
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 4: are one of those teams, like they are so capable

831
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 4: of beating any team on any given night, but it

832
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 4: just doesn't feel like again, if that was a playoff series,

833
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 4: no one would be like, well, I think the blazer

834
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 4: can take you. You just know that. Lebron's just like that's

835
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 4: the game that we just we just kind of mail

836
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 4: in and that's what happened. But yeah, Gary Trent, he

837
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 4: was feeling for sure last night. That's exactly what we

838
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: saw FROMI in the Bubble. When he gets hot, he

839
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 4: gets red hot and just hits everything. He really wants

840
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 4: the ball in his hands, he really wants to go

841
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 4: after his shot and he gets it and it was great,

842
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 4: but it's uh, yeah, the la Beers. It's it's hard

843
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 4: to evaluate any any like his gang because it's just

844
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 4: that doesn't really matter, nothing of it, Nothing really matters

845
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: until playoffs with him.

846
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's yes, So I think a couple of things. Yeah,

847
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 5: Gary Trent motivated by playing only five minutes the game before.

848
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 5: Terry Stotts had him fired up to show his stuff

849
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 5: in this one. Twenty eight points in twenty three minutes.

850
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 5: The Blazers eventually turned this thing around in the second quarter,

851
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,479
Speaker 5: and then yeah, Lillard finished it off in the fourth quarter.

852
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 5: And he was going at Montrez Harral for sure. And

853
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 5: in last year's iteration of the Lakers team, that's Dwight

854
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 5: Howard playing d instead of Montrez Harrow. And that's that's

855
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 5: the thing. I know. Anthony Davis, you know, appear to

856
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 5: take the day game off. He does that from time

857
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 5: to time. And Lebron's Lakers, I'm sorry, Lebron'sks. When they

858
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 5: won a championship in sixteen, they stopped playing defense the

859
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 5: next year during the regular season and they slowed down.

860
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 5: They went down to like the twentieth best defense. So

861
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 5: that's gonna happen. You got to rely on your bench

862
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 5: guys to step up and do it in Montres. Harral's yeah,

863
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 5: he's not gonna do it the same way. Dwight Howard was, well,

864
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 5: that matter in the in the playoffs, probably not because

865
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 5: it's Anthony Davis playing the five, and they're probably gonna

866
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 5: put a better defensive lineup out there, whether it's Wesley

867
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 5: Matthews or markif Morris playing more of that position. So, yeah,

868
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 5: that's gonna happen. We said that about Anthony Davis even

869
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 5: during the playoffs. There's some games where he just floats

870
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 5: in and out and yeah, that was a Gary Trent

871
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 5: show and a Dame Lillard show on the other side,

872
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 5: and yeah, the Lakers are going to have some bad

873
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: games like that. Camaral Anthony was out this sere little

874
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 5: also out due to the coronavirus Protocol, which the league

875
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 5: is obviously taking very very seriously. Contact tracing is. I

876
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 5: mentioned it about last week about the Rockets where they're

877
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 5: just making guys sit because the image was bad. Yeah,

878
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 5: bless you, you have to sit up. You have to

879
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 5: sit this one up. I'm not sure who sneeze, but

880
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 5: oh yeah, you gotta sit out because the coronavirus protofile.

881
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of sneezes. Do you when when yam sneezes,

882
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: do you say bless you to your dog?

883
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: Of course?

884
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, good, yeah, I love her. Yeah, I know.

885
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't trust someone if they don't say

886
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: bless you to their doge. I've decided that.

887
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 5: Okay, sorry, no, no, no, bless bless everybody. Bless Carmelo and

888
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 5: the Syre little hope they are good and then and

889
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 5: they can come back. But it is good to see

890
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 5: the NBA taking it seriously because I was, you know,

891
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 5: wondering last week if James Harden wasn't caught on video

892
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 5: being at a club, and then these other stories come

893
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: out about the group haircuts, everybody doing group haircuts, would

894
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 5: would they have you know, clamped down on them the

895
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 5: same way as if if it wasn't on video. Well,

896
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 5: Carmela Anthony and the sir little just you know, there's

897
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 5: something going on there. Whatever the contact tracing is. I

898
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 5: haven't really looked into it, but they sat them down

899
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 5: and they don't play this game. And because they are

900
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 5: taking it seriously. So that's that's important in these times

901
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 5: that we're in, because people are sneezing, coughing, not wearing

902
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 5: masks all over the place, So hey sit this one

903
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 5: out and hopefully they get back bless everybody.

904
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: Final game Donovan Mitchell, he took over late hit the

905
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: game winner to lift the Jazz over. Okay, see one ten,

906
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: one oh nine. This is a really exciting ending to

907
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: this one. SGA missed a driving layup in traffic. Rudy

908
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: Gobert was right there. I think I was in the

909
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: back of sja's mind. He got it up on the rim.

910
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: I thought, actually it.

911
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 5: Was gonna lay up. He missed it.

912
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 1: Wow, a layup. It was a difficult check.

913
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 5: It was I thought it was.

914
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was going to go.

915
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean again, I think Rudy being there made him

916
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: like rush it a little bit or probably put it

917
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: higher than he maybe want to. But he misses an

918
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: All Star Jazz one. Well he's not there yet, Trey,

919
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: He's not there yet. But Jazz get the victory, one

920
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: point victory in this task. Big takeaway outside of SGA

921
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: missing a layup, Well.

922
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 5: The thunder are being thunder like just like last here.

923
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 5: They've only played two games, but they're starting lineup of

924
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 5: SGA old George Hill, lou Dort with a career high

925
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 5: Bank Bank Bank Bank Ban.

926
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: I hate calling that a career high. I hate it.

927
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 5: Why it's that because it's the second because there's the.

928
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: Regular season twenty six points career. I scored thirty in

929
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: the playoff game.

930
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 5: So dumb Darius Baisley, who is their you know, their

931
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 5: guy along with SGA that they're hoping another second year

932
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 5: guy can be awesome, and Al Horford as their center.

933
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 5: They're just they're just workmanlike. And a lot of young

934
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 5: teams look should look at okay see and envy that.

935
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of teams in the league,

936
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 5: like the Bulls who aren't working their ass off. Sorry Trey,

937
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 5: but you look at the Thunder and they are and

938
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 5: they get to these end of game situations and SGA

939
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 5: had to end that game. He had to end He

940
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 5: got past Rudy Gobert at the free throw and it

941
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 5: was a cool play, actually drawn up by Eric daniel

942
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 5: the most nondescript coach in the league.

943
00:42:58,840 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: Name is Mark.

944
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 5: Isn't it not the script?

945
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 4: He sounds like a hockey player though, So I'll give

946
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 4: you a credit for that one test.

947
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, JJ Danielle for former HAB So it was beauty.

948
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 5: Go to Al Horford kind of threw everybody off. SJ

949
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 5: drives past Rudy Gobert who bumps him at the free

950
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 5: throw line. He had a layup and he just rushed it.

951
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 5: And that could have been two game winners in two

952
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 5: games for SGA, But the young guy hasn't had those

953
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 5: hasn't had the reps yet. But they look great. They

954
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 5: look absolutely great, and the Jazz are lucky.

955
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Mitchell took over right and he scored I

956
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: think the final twelve points. I mean, he's got Dort

957
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: all over them all game, that's the hell Lee. But

958
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: he blew by him at the end and he hit

959
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: a really tough like little runner. That's not an easy shot.

960
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I know these guys are pros, but that

961
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: was a nice little finish for Mitchell, which was I

962
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: guess ultimately the game winner right on Dort. Yeah, he

963
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: sort of bailed him out, though, I thought Donovan Mitchell,

964
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: which is always a nice reminder I think Mitchell. I

965
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's me speaking, but I just always

966
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: forget how good Donovan Mitchell is at times. That's why

967
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: last year's playoffs was such a nice reminder when he

968
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: was like battling with Jamal Murray. It's like, I just like,

969
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: there's so much talent in this league that I just

970
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: sort of and maybe it's because he's in Utah. I

971
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I forget about including him on a lot

972
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: of lists where you're like, oh, a guy that can

973
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: take over a game and hit big shots leet. I

974
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: just always sort of leave him out of that group.

975
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: And like I said, it's just a nice reminder when

976
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: you catch the game and you see him do it.

977
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 4: And you go into the basket early as well. That's

978
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 4: what I liked about it. But boy, I'm Bogdanovich as well.

979
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 4: Now look the Jazz. You know there are two of

980
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: one here, but they haven't played all that well so

981
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 4: far early into the season. I mean, this is a

982
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 4: game again. The Jazz have got designs on finishing at

983
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 4: the top four. They should have put away the okay

984
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 4: see thunder, but they weren't able to do that. But

985
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 4: I just think, you know, Bogdanovich does just give them

986
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 4: that offense that they missed. I think down in the

987
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 4: bubble there because he's such a beautiful shoot at the

988
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 4: Buggies last night were great to watch because Boner I

989
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 4: do have a bit of a buggy boner because they're

990
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 4: just such beautif full shooters of the ball, and a

991
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 4: couple of times when and when boy yand just got

992
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 4: the ball, if you leave it for a second, that

993
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 4: that thing is cash every single time. But one thing

994
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,720
Speaker 4: I also noticed about this game is the in arena

995
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 4: crowd noise seems to be very low down there, if

996
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 4: at all in fact, and which is good. Though I

997
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 4: like it because it's like like in Charlotte, for example,

998
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 4: I think it's over the top because they pump it

999
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 4: in so loud and the crowd's cheering every like a

1000
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 4: guy's bring the ball up the court and the crowds cheering.

1001
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 4: But we've talked about a couple of times just hearing

1002
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: like the on court, like there's a little you can't

1003
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 4: really make out, you know, the conversation. You can hear

1004
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 4: players calling our screens and things like that, and I

1005
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 4: actually like that aspect of the game. So I thought

1006
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 4: that was good. But then there are times she's like,

1007
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 4: I think I can hear it there softly in the background,

1008
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 4: so maybe it's I don't know, just not coming through

1009
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,959
Speaker 4: the TV's is now, But it's good.

1010
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it so Yeah, you're right.

1011
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 1: It's it varies from arena to arena. Yeah, I cast

1012
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: to bridecast how much volume? Yeah, the guy is you

1013
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: know their version of j D. How much is he?

1014
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: I think it was.

1015
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 4: I think it was Charlotte on the jump ball the

1016
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 4: other day against Brooklan.

1017
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: Was like, yeah, well maybe that guy's got money on

1018
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: the jump balls maybe, but yeah, good game.

1019
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 4: What do you think of the jazz uniforms there last night?

1020
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 4: They were rich because when you're going up against the white,

1021
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 4: the thunderwear like, they really popped off the screen, those ones,

1022
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 4: I thought, so.

1023
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: I didn't mind them traded.

1024
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, they pop. I think I think the shorts are

1025
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 2: literal fire.

1026
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 3: The jerseys. That's a little shiny shoulders, a little shoulder

1027
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: plaid vibe.

1028
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 2: But they were working for me.

1029
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: Shout out to shoulder plaid shut By still still one

1030
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: day to make millions of shoulder plaids mentioned. Yeah, what

1031
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: shoulder plaids?

1032
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 2: You ask?

1033
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: It's just a T shirt with plaids attached to the shoulder.

1034
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 1: That's it. It'll catch on, it'll catch on. Anything else

1035
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: to add from any of these games, guys. Before we

1036
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: get to the news.

1037
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 4: Dort nearly had the game winner there last night with

1038
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 4: that three.

1039
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: He did, he did, and don't we have a guy

1040
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: could be a female in our comments all the time,

1041
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: like in the stream team, always saying dort The people

1042
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: in the stream team are going crazy, just the mention

1043
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: of Dort's now right right, Okay, So I love that.

1044
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: We would have been starting. We would have listen doting

1045
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: with Dorritt if he hit the game winner.

1046
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 4: Y nine for eleven to five to seven from downtown

1047
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: there for Doughty last night.

1048
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: So he needs to fire his Egypt is what Dorton is? Yeah, yeah,

1049
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: exactly make it like five million dollars over the next

1050
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: three years. Yeah.

1051
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 4: Defensively, he's got that so much energy to give. We

1052
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 4: saw it on James Harden of course mostly down there

1053
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 4: in Orlando, and last night he was great again. And

1054
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 4: then when he gets out and runs, he's I mean,

1055
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 4: he contributes to his team. He does so much out there,

1056
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 4: like that shot. If that can become really consistent, then

1057
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 4: he's going to be a very good play. It's still

1058
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 4: there's still a little bit of a sort of like

1059
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 4: when he shoots it, but uh, yeah, listen, he knocked

1060
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 4: in the biggest.

1061
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: Little Tony Allen like a little bit for sure.

1062
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, but but he's he shoots it with confidence

1063
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, so you imagine it. He's going

1064
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 4: to become consistent though, just with the hard work that

1065
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 4: he puts in.

1066
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think, especially now that Toronto the Raptors

1067
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: are in Tampa, so they're not even Canada's team, could

1068
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: we like make the case that OKC should be Canada's team?

1069
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: With two Canadians in Sga and Dort, can we make

1070
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: that case? Do we need one more? I think we

1071
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: need one more Canadian on the squad.

1072
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 4: Well, they got the Canadian, isn't he a.

1073
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah French child?

1074
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 2: They got skates, this stretched out skeets as well. Gotoku.

1075
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 3: I don't think he's scored yet, has he He might

1076
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 3: not have scored, but he's out there. This is an

1077
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: interesting team to watch. You got Dort, who is just

1078
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 3: a human bowling ball, one hundred percent muscles. You got Poku,

1079
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: who is all bones, the complete opposite. You got a

1080
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 3: guy out there growing out a mullet Kenrich Williams. What

1081
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: an exciting team to watch. I saw George Hill go

1082
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 3: to the hoop. I was like, all right, George Hill's

1083
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 3: on the thunder Al Horford. Al Horford is still like

1084
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 3: a shocker to me that he's like. When Task mentioned him,

1085
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, Horford's on this team. That's

1086
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 3: a really weird one to me.

1087
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: But put up.

1088
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 5: They also, I hope I'm not confusing teams. Let me

1089
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 5: just double check. Yeah, they also have a moose on

1090
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 5: their team. Michael Moose.

1091
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,959
Speaker 1: Scala's from Saskatchewan.

1092
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 5: Sure, a moose jaw right right.

1093
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: Where's Trey Lyles playing right now? Yeah, let's get him

1094
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: to Okay, see, let's throw Trey Lyles on the thunder

1095
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: and then that will be Canada's team. All right, five games,

1096
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: one thing, actually five games a lot of things, but

1097
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: that was a lot of fun. Some news. The NBA

1098
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: announced yesterday that seventy six Ers president of basketball Operations

1099
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 1: Daryl Moury has been fined fifty thousand dollars for violating

1100
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: the NBA's anti tampering policy The Fights in response to

1101
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: a December twentieth tweet about James Harden, the tweet, which

1102
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: was deleted, you know soon after several minutes later but

1103
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Sell lebraded the one year anniversary of hard

1104
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: and breaking the Rockets franchise assist record. So Maury got

1105
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: slapped with a fifty thousand dollars fine for that tweet task,

1106
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: the same amount as many of them. As pointed out

1107
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: that Harden got fined for, you know, breaking the health

1108
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: and safety protocols with how he was handling the COVID

1109
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: or not handling it or taking it. Seriously, what's your

1110
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: takeaway from Joel Mory's fine here?

1111
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 5: I take away that this is glorious because his excuse

1112
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 5: was that it was an inadvertent post from an automated app. Yeah,

1113
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 5: so he had programmed it. He had scheduled a tweet

1114
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 5: essentially just like all of us. Oh yeah, I want

1115
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 5: this to come out on the No Dunk's account at

1116
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 5: noon today. Well, he put it in his calendar that hey,

1117
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 5: it's the anniversary of hard and breaking the assist record,

1118
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 5: I'm going to post something. And you know, if there's

1119
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 5: any general manager who loves the numbers, who loves planning,

1120
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 5: who loves the data, he would put it in an

1121
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 5: automated app. So it's not boloney, and that's totally fine.

1122
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 5: I love that he uses scheduled tweets, so I'm cool

1123
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 5: with that. I'm totally cool with it. And the fifty

1124
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 5: thousand dollars. Fine, whatever, I guess you got to do it.

1125
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 5: I just like the automated app part, and it worked.

1126
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 5: That scheduled tweet actually got posted, So you know what

1127
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 5: I think he got. He's upset fifty K down, but

1128
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 5: he's pretty happy that the automated app worked.

1129
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: No, yeah, he is upset my all accounts. He's saying,

1130
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: I didn't really tweet that. It's this this dumb app

1131
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: that I have that like obviously a year later, will

1132
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: just retweet it.

1133
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 5: It sounds like a smart app to me.

1134
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: Well yeah, okay, Well, however you want to look at

1135
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 1: we'll it cost him fifty thousand dollars an expensive app.

1136
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: I guess it's another way to look at it. Do

1137
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: you do you believe I'm there Trey that this was

1138
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: like sort of out of his hands, so.

1139
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1140
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,959
Speaker 3: He had to give permissions to the account to post

1141
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 3: to his Oh come on, this is so stupid. This

1142
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 3: is the dumbest fine since JR. Smith getting in trouble

1143
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 3: for untying people's shoelaces.

1144
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 2: But Darryl Morey, I.

1145
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 3: Think you should just delete Twitter at this point. Stick

1146
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 3: to ig stories, you can say, Ben Simmons is gonna

1147
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 3: be the MVP over there, and only one podcast cares

1148
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: about it.

1149
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:17,720
Speaker 2: Lately.

1150
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 4: Anything mad Well didn't the Bucks get fined for tampering

1151
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 4: with their own player as well, like I talked about

1152
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 4: dumb tampering fines. Uh yeah, this is up there with

1153
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 4: that because I don't. I never schedule tweets.

1154
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: I got it. I would like to point out I

1155
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: don't think this is actual Darryl Moury scheduling a tweet.

1156
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 1: I think it's this app, like Tray said, where well,

1157
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: I forget the name of it. There wasn't not Time Hopper.

1158
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 4: Anniversary, only me or something.

1159
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, like whatever this app is called, Like Trey said,

1160
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: it probably asks you when you download it, hey can

1161
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: I in a year? Can I?

1162
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 5: Like?

1163
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: Can I automatically tweet things and you just click ocakes?

1164
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: That's what people do. I think that's what happened. He

1165
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: didn't actually a year ago, schedule it a year later

1166
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: to then tweet. Yeah, which is a.

1167
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 5: Little bit everybody. Everybody puts in a calendar. They put in, oh,

1168
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 5: that's Peter's birthday on April fourteenth, So I don't forget it.

1169
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 5: Same thing, same thing, Well, happy birthday, Peter, Wait, they go, Lee,

1170
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 5: you don't schedule tweets.

1171
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just you live in the moment, so you're

1172
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: a little confused by this.

1173
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 4: Well that's that's why, though, I don't schedule it, because

1174
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 4: just in case.

1175
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't, in case you get treated to the hook,

1176
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: because because I have.

1177
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 4: I did do it sometimes when we were at the

1178
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 4: starters for the TV show, to sort of tweet just

1179
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 4: before the show. But it wouldn't always work in tweet

1180
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 4: deck either. Would sometimes like ten minutes into the show

1181
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 4: and say we go on live in ten minutes, and.

1182
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 5: I'm like, what I'm saying, Marius pumped that this app

1183
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 5: actually works.

1184
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe that's it. But you still can't schedule tweet

1185
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 4: in Twitter, can you. It's it's like tweet deck and other.

1186
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 2: Things you can via Twitter dot com.

1187
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you can can. Don't worry about it

1188
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: just now.

1189
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 4: I'm not going I can't imagine I've got to tweet

1190
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 4: something and say just hold on to that, hold that

1191
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 4: thought for an hour or two and then tweet it

1192
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 4: or a day or a week or a year. Imagine that.

1193
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 3: Are you saying that your drafts folder is empty, like

1194
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 3: you don't have any Yeah, so everything you come up

1195
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 3: with your like, this is a banger.

1196
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 2: People need it, right.

1197
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that.

1198
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they're all the bangers, but I

1199
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 4: just I just don't like, I'll say, uh, I can't

1200
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 4: even see my my drafts here. Let's say see schedule.

1201
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, you can schedule now on Twitter?

1202
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: Okay, you should tweet this. Yeah.

1203
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,439
Speaker 4: I might schedule a tweet just to see if it works.

1204
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, do it.

1205
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 3: One year ago today we talked about scheduling tweets.

1206
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: Now now on a live podcast. I was trying to

1207
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: see my drafts. Drafts, all right, so yeah, okay, you

1208
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: got fifty thousand dollars. Who final piece of news, this

1209
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: is some good news. Brandon Ingram de Matas Sabonis. They've

1210
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: been named the NBA Players of the Week for Week one.

1211
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: Week one is in the in the books. Ingram averaged

1212
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty six point seven points, seven point three rebounds, and

1213
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: six point seven assists as New Orleans started two and one,

1214
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 1: and Sas Sabonis excuse me, averaged twenty four to eleven

1215
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: and seven, basically as the Pacers stayed undefeated at three

1216
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: and zero. Congratulations to both those guys. Uh, like question Tray,

1217
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: Are both of these guys locks to make the All

1218
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: Star Game again? Uh? Ingram and Sibonis.

1219
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 3: I think that Sibonis, no doubt about it, is a

1220
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 3: lock in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers are going to

1221
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 3: be in the mix for a playoff spot. They could

1222
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 3: contend for home court advantage.

1223
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 2: We'll see.

1224
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 3: He's their star, He's their go to guy. It probably

1225
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 3: won't end up like this come All Star time. But

1226
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 3: right now he's leading the Pacers in points, rebounds, and assists,

1227
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 3: so I think he has an easy choice to be

1228
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 3: making it back to the All Star Game. I also

1229
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 3: love this tweet I saw from Jim Cunningham yesterday.

1230
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: It's not about Demonta Sabonis, but it's about Aus.

1231
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 3: Ar Venusis looks like a gigantic Rayleiota.

1232
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 2: It's too perfect, man.

1233
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 3: It's like if you took Rayleiota's head and doubled it

1234
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 3: in size on top of a refrigerator and called it

1235
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 3: a person. But Uh, incredible to me, just incredible.

1236
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 5: They take a shot of eighteen tequila.

1237
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 2: With but Sibonus lock it in.

1238
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 3: I think brandon Ingram, I think is a little bit

1239
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: more of a question for a couple of reasons. It's

1240
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 3: just tougher to make it in the Western Conference. There

1241
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 3: are more guys who are locked so or there are

1242
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,760
Speaker 3: less spots, and I think he will be competing against

1243
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 3: Zion Williamson.

1244
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 2: Right now.

1245
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 3: Ingram, no doubt, is the guy that you would put

1246
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 3: in as the All Star from the Pelicans.

1247
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 2: But it could be Zion by mid season.

1248
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 3: There's a world that you can imagine where Zion makes

1249
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,720
Speaker 3: it as a fan vote right where he gets voted

1250
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 3: into the game, and then you're thinking, are there really

1251
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 3: going to be two Pelicans in this All Star Game.

1252
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent convinced that they're going to

1253
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 3: be that good of a team that they get two

1254
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 3: All Stars.

1255
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 2: But Brandon Ingram has been great.

1256
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 3: He looks like an All Star again, at least an

1257
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: All Star caliber player. It'll just be a matter of

1258
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 3: the politics of it all.

1259
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Ingram's sort of, you know, taking a

1260
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 1: page out of the Siakam playbook right now, I would

1261
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: say from last year. And what I mean by that is,

1262
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: remember I was trying to make the case that Siakam

1263
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: will potentially go back to back and most improved. I

1264
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: mean Ingram is sort of like early early on that

1265
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: little trajectory. He's not going to win it, of course,

1266
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: like Siakham didn't. But Sam last year like looked like

1267
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: he went next level after the most improved at the

1268
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: start of the year, especially for a couple of months,

1269
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: and I think Ingram's doing that as well right now

1270
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: has looked really really solid. Obviously it helps that they're

1271
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: two and one. But I hear you, Trey, if you're

1272
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: picking one of those guys's locks, I'm likely going, uh,

1273
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: Wolverine or who are people saying? He looked like from

1274
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: that Sabona's photo with his hair like the dad from

1275
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: Family Ties, So.

1276
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 5: The guy from Family Ties.

1277
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: Head of hair on it was yeah, okay, okay, do

1278
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: you guys attest? Do you agree though? If you're if

1279
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: you were to pick one as a locker, are you

1280
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: going to the Eastern Conference with Sabonis over Ingram or

1281
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: maybe not?

1282
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so. But it is crazy about the

1283
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 5: the Pelicans because Brandon Ingram is definitely their best player.

1284
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 5: That's the guy they run everything through. And Zion Williamson

1285
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 5: he gets some of the crumbs, but he is so

1286
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 5: good that he turns it into twenty thirty point nights,

1287
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 5: especially with the backcourt that's struggling there in Lonzo Ball

1288
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 5: and Eric Bledsoe. So the ball gets the Zion on

1289
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 5: the perimeter and he does something with it. Even if

1290
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 5: you know Eric Bledsoe and Lonzo Ball aren't stretching the floor,

1291
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 5: and Steven Adams isn't stretching the floor. Only Ingram really

1292
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 5: out there or Josh Hart out there stretching the floor.

1293
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 5: There's some guys in the lane just waiting for Zion

1294
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 5: to come in and barrel through them. He finds a

1295
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 5: way to draw foul or get around them. He's that good.

1296
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 5: So yeah, the question is, well, the fans vote him

1297
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 5: in even though he's not technically their best player, But

1298
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 5: are they are we still going to go with the

1299
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 5: fifty percent fan vote, twenty five percent media, twenty five

1300
00:58:55,080 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 5: percent coaches. I guess it's not the coaches. Doesn't make

1301
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 5: sense whatever, whatever the formula is.

1302
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: Fifty twenty five percent media, twenty five percent coaches.

1303
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 5: I thought, yeay, coaches do starters. I didn't think they did.

1304
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: Let them say it out loud.

1305
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 2: I don't think it's right.

1306
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 4: The coaches do the reserve players? Yeah?

1307
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 2: The players?

1308
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, players, that's right, that's right. So yeah, that's

1309
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 5: that's it's going to be tough. They may they may

1310
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 5: cancel each other out in a weird way, him Damn

1311
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 5: and Ingram because players know that Ingram is their number

1312
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 5: one guy. But yeah, Zion is putting up those numbers

1313
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 5: and yeah he's the fan draw. So you think you

1314
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 5: think Pelicans, well they're on national TV really because of

1315
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 5: Zion Williamson. But your game plan for brandon Ingram really

1316
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 5: for sure?

1317
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: All right? Well, I feel like Trey and who was

1318
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: it Jim Cunningham and Sabonis and Rayiota uh, sort of

1319
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: scooped me here, But I have the official tweet of the.

1320
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 5: Night tweet out the night. Wow, that was a good one.

1321
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: TK had me laughing there, what a comparison. But this

1322
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 1: one's also good. And I know you liked the tray

1323
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: because I saw you interacting with it on the tweet.

1324
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: I think Lee was too at Russ Bankston tweeted the day,

1325
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: really tweeted the day he tweeted. Sometimes I still think

1326
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: about how Darren Williams got his panther tattoo covered up

1327
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: with an even bigger panther tattoo. And yes, he included

1328
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: the photos. That's young Darren Williams on the left, of course,

1329
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 1: if you're joining us here on the stream team, and uh,

1330
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 1: you see the somewhat smaller panther tattoo, and then he

1331
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: just went, hey, I love that. Make it bigger, make

1332
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: it better, make it scarier, and there he is, Oh

1333
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: nice zoom.

1334
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,680
Speaker 5: In the first one, right, and that's all he covered

1335
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 5: up with a better one, like that's a Looney Tunes tattoo. Almost.

1336
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: I read somewhere that a lot of the guys because

1337
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: he went to the University of Illinois, that like three

1338
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: guys on the team all went to like this crappy

1339
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: tattoo shop and all basically got this same tattoo. And

1340
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I guess he regretted it, and so he upgraded it

1341
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: to the to the sick awesome one. Yeah.

1342
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 2: That wow.

1343
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: It just I love this tweet because while it's always

1344
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: nice to be reminded of Darren Williams, uh, you know,

1345
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: panther tattoos on his arms, but I got people talking

1346
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: about other great NBA tattoos, like Kira Lenko's dragon tattoo

1347
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: on his back, like that giant one, uh, Kenyan Martin's

1348
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: lips tattoo on his neck. Haslam's got the giant back

1349
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: tattoo of Florida. I think Marquis Daniels does his too. Yeah,

1350
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: just talking tattoos, Lee, I know you're not a fan.

1351
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: I hate to do this to you.

1352
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 2: But talking tats.

1353
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1354
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 3: With Jared Wade mentioned Richard Jefferson just looks like he

1355
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 3: has bubble letters r J written on his arm. Brad

1356
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 3: Miller obviously rocks and one man and a scrappy dude.

1357
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

1358
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 3: We haven't seen Darren Williams for a few years. He

1359
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 3: could have an even bigger panther now forearm.

1360
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 4: Isn't he into the UFC?

1361
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Something new in a for sure?

1362
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1363
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's bumked up like Mike bybe there. Maybe that's

1364
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 4: the U.

1365
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 2: That's a tattoo friendly place.

1366
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that world.

1367
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 4: Do you think we'll ever get we'll ever get the

1368
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 4: fat of the of the barbed wire around the bicep tattoo? Yeah, Tom,

1369
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 4: Tom Googleia Kendall Gill had it, Tracy McGrady had it though.

1370
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 4: There were three notables have that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1371
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 4: I mean it was to get a barb wire tattoo.

1372
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 4: James Sharman has it as well.

1373
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: James Sharmon. Oh no, I wonder.

1374
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Did did he get it?

1375
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: And then he's like, I'm going to make this bigger

1376
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: said you're a bigger were not?

1377
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah? Maybe maybe he does need to cover it up though,

1378
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 4: But that was a big thing in like about nineteen

1379
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 4: ninety four ninety five.

1380
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I seem to remember. I was like, yeah, bob, leather bracelets,

1381
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: barboire tattoos, gend you got a barb wire tattoo. I

1382
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: feel like you would.

1383
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 5: What what he's gonna Yep?

1384
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got no tattoos? No, yeah, No, that's crazy

1385
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: to me that you don't have a tattoo.

1386
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 4: Would you get a big panther or a barbed wire

1387
01:02:58,160 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 4: around the bicep if.

1388
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 5: You hit those are choices. It's panther for sure.

1389
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 2: I'm not happy about either of them.

1390
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: But yes, you were.

1391
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 4: You were a rock star as well.

1392
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: That's why you surprising that you didn't get drunk one

1393
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 1: night in your rock band days and then get a

1394
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: silly tattoo that you maybe would have regretted.

1395
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: Nobody is more surprised than me.

1396
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 5: The worst barb wire tattoos are the ones that don't

1397
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 5: go completely around you're around. Yeah, some some men just

1398
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 5: say I don't like that the sensitive spot on the

1399
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 5: inner part of my arm.

1400
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: It's any.

1401
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 5: So they get like a three quarter arm tattoo for

1402
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 5: no fricking reason. I'm sure James Charmon goes one hundred percent.

1403
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 5: He's got one hundred percent around.

1404
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. Yeah, the sheep are getting out of

1405
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 1: his tattoos. No, alright, picking results from last night, it

1406
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: was a Rockets Nuggets game. Denver was favored by seven

1407
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: and a half. It was a pretty good line. We

1408
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: were split on this one. Tass and I took Denver

1409
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: to cover and they did. That's a victory for Tassa

1410
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: and I were three and one. Trey and Lee coming

1411
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 1: up on the wrong side of this one. You guys

1412
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: had the Rockets to cover. So Trey you're two and two.

1413
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Lee you're three and one. That's your first loss. You

1414
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: are human. So still very very early, very close. Are

1415
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 1: we running this through to January?

1416
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 2: Guys?

1417
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: We didn't ultimately decide.

1418
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 5: That, yeah, for sure.

1419
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so we got.

1420
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: A big, big pick them run here to deal with.

1421
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: So what's tonight's game, because there's a lot of games

1422
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: on Once again, test.

1423
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 5: Well Canada's team Toronto still hasn't won. So they go

1424
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 5: into Philadelphia and the Sixers coming off a lost for

1425
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 5: they got beat up by the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're favored

1426
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 5: by two and a half points, hosting the Tampa Toronto Raptors.

1427
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 5: Who you got Philly minus two and a half Toronto?

1428
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 4: Oh my god, go ahead lately, guess the Raptor has

1429
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 4: got to get at wh I think I can get

1430
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 4: it Toronto?

1431
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 5: Uh, Skeets, come on, you're taking the Raptors.

1432
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not. I'm not feeling confident right now.

1433
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a reverse jinx. Who knows I'm taking Philadelphia,

1434
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking Philly to cover two and a half. Obviously

1435
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: it's that's nothing, really Philly. I hope, I hope I'm wrong.

1436
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I only admit Trey.

1437
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,479
Speaker 3: I think that is the whole reason the Raptors got

1438
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 3: Aaron Baines is the face off against Joel Embiid. The

1439
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 3: Raptors need that w and Skeets is turning on him.

1440
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: You hate to see it. Give me the Toronto Raptors.

1441
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: Wow wows.

1442
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with you. They don't have Marcosol, the the

1443
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 5: Joel Embiid stopper anymore. But Aaron Baines was a freaking

1444
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 5: good one when he was with the Boston Celtics against

1445
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 5: the Sixers in those playoffs series. So yeah, I'm taking

1446
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 5: Aaron Baines in the Toronto Rapp. Wow.

1447
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I love to see so you guys are all

1448
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: taking the Raps plus two and a half. I got

1449
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: Philly to win by three points or more. Lee. We

1450
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: know you won't be watching that game though, because also

1451
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock it's Lee Ellis's New York Knicks versus

1452
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Lee Ellis's Cleveland Coal two of the hardest teams in

1453
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: the league.

1454
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1455
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I will be definitely watching the start of

1456
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,800
Speaker 4: that one for sure. I've got to get my watches

Speaker 4: the first too on Netflix, so I'm gonna have to

1459
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 4: take a few days off to start the season. Not

1460
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,959
Speaker 4: too long, I can binge it, probably in two days

1482
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: first game, and then the Pelicans versus the Suns. That's

1483
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: a could be an exciting game.

1484
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, no Jimmy Butler in that first one. The

1485
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 5: Bucks Heat was going to be my pick, but Jimmy

1486
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 5: Butler is out. It's hard for these schedulers making these leagues,

1487
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 5: these these schedules. You know, are you going to take

1488

Speaker 5: national TV? Specially you want one game to be on

1490
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 5: center Court, you gotta pick one. That's why they picked

1491
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 5: they picked the one that Hey, maybe the Superstars will play,

1492
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 5: but they so. The Bucks got to bounce back too

1493
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,440
