00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes on defense. I could dig jage well,

87
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,320

Speaker 1: I got y honest at the five, Katie at the four.

90
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: So I got scored, got y'all got Clay Thompson. So

91
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I need a wing defender. I need a wing defender.

92
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: I need a guy that's capable of knocking down shots.

93
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: But I need a guy with size and lent. Okay,

94
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: size and lent like six a six nine listed maybe

95
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: six ten. I'm going with Jeremy Grant. He can score two.

96
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna who pick bron me Yeah, not bad. I'm

97
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: going to Jeremy Grant if you need it, and then

98
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: he definitely plays d. You really only need them with

99
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, ten points three bucks, yes, sir, okay, but

100
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: that's our current five. Next up, our top three m

101
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: v P candidates at the midpoint, park will start with

102
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: you goddamn. So here is the thing, all right, I

103
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: feel like this year is different when it comes down

104
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: the m v P. I think that we've ever had

105
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: this many at this point, we don't. And to be honest,

106
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: it could switch every month because just like they're putting

107
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: out a number. So I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go

108
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: with the three in my opinion, that's been the most consistent,

109
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: like they didn't have no bumps and bruises. And I'm

110
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: going with Steph Curry. Oh, I'm going with John Moran.

111
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: And people can say Memphis win eleven and two without

112
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: a message, y'all know how that how that worked, you

113
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Somethings just rally together. Then the

114
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: other pony just don't respect you, like the yeah, right,

115
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not disrespecting the Memphis Grizzlies. But then at

116
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: number three, number three, I gotta I want to go

117
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: with k D. Katie been out. I gotta go with

118
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: Joe L. N B. Here's why I was one of them.

119
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: I thought that Philly, No, I actually I thought that

120
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: phil it was gonna be a top six seed right there,

121
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: top five seed in the Eastern Conference, and people, a

122
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: lot of people thought they would go, you know, being

123
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: that play in at the playoffs without Ben Simmers and

124
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: now every single night you could count on Joe Be

125
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: to get you thirty Who well been this way? I

126
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: don't matter, to be honest, outside of Katie and Kyrie,

127
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody else is more skilled than

128
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: him there those two. I mean he with all the respect,

129
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: I said this a few weeks back to me, he's

130
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: the best big in the game. And that's saying a lot, motherfucker.

131
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: So I'm a big fan of Ebat. I'm not mad

132
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: since you talked about in bed. If you're in bad

134
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: that Darryl Morey and Elton Brand are sitting on Ben Simmons.

135
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: Are you mad because you've had an injury play career,

136
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,560

152
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: I can't worry about Ben Simms. I gotta worry about

153
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: going to win some games with the guys we got

154
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: right now. So it showed me already where his mind was, no, no, no,

155
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: but I'm getting to this, so something had to be said.

156
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, straight up, it's this is real life.

157
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: This is not rumors. Okay they no matter how much

158
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: he may try to deny, But right now, I don't

159
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: think I think Philly want to win. I know they're

160
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: not gonna win the championship unless they make a big move.

161
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: But I think they're thinking more so about next season.

162
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, And so I'm gonna just

163
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: give you hints and you can figure it out. But

164
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: James Harden didn't signed his contract extension, all right. He

165
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: didn't sign He was supposed to sign it. He was

166
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: supposed to go Katie Kyle Ree. James Harden didn't happen,

167
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: all right, so he insigne it. Now James Harden camp

168
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: is telling people and Philly we want to come play

169
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: with them be next year. This ain't a lot of

170
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: his facts, but he didn He's telling the Brooklyn Nets,

171
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: the ownership group different. You see what I'm saying. Yeah,

172
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: so what And I never said I ain't telking no

173
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: about this ship, but this has happened in real LuFe,

174
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: you got damn, I gotta get all the mos. So

175
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that's so now, so not in me like because of

176
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: who wouldn't be is he's a dog and he want

177
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: and he want to win. Can you imagine that picking

178
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: roll coming down here with Harden coming at you wouldn't

179
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: be just setting a big pick on the best game

180
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: in the league easily. But that's that's what that said.

181
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: So that's why I m b ain't doing no complaints.

182
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: So you got Steph Murant and be Jack excuse me,

183
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:35,640

00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,400

186
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: been off four months. When I laughing, I hear your

187
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Oh he's been cold for a month.

188
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: He can't be in the conversation anymore like you would basketball.

189
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: If you want to get taping cool, you shouldn't want

190
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: to last year. Ye, So thet when I go there,

191
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 1: but here, thank you. So the unanimous person, So the

192
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: unanimous person on all of this, because I'm gonna start

193
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: with Steffs. So Steph, the unanimous got across the board.

194
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: I got k D and then I got you. Honest,

195
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: I really I've been not a critic, but someone who's

196
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, always been saying, you know, for Milwaukee to

197
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: get past, for us to believe in you. We talked

198
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: about or also with lay the first to believe in you,

199
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: you gotta win it. We talked about on the other

200
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: day similar way, you know, the way we were talking

201
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: about the jazz, but the way we look at Milwaukee,

202
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: like we wasn't really believing in Yannice m VPS until

203
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: you win it. And to me, Johannice is continued to

204
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: improve and get better. He's a dog with the motor

205
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: picking up his skill. Though, like it's hard to say,

206
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: like you said, I agree, We've never had at this

207
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: point the season so many candidates and we're probably missing

208
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: a few people, you know what you mean, But those

209
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: are three, um at this point, at the midpoint, I

210
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: got one thing is go ahead, see the thing is

211
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: with Jannice. He made me up believe it. But I

212
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: had to see it, right, I had to see it,

213
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: Like I wanted to see that game six. I want

214
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: to see him go up to the free throw line.

215
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people and Jack Canal, the Big

216
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: Bro was on the same page, they wouldn't understanding what

217
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: we were saying about the Badman and Robbin Ship right right,

218
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: Like who wasn't saying that Chris Milton is the absolute

219
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: best player on the team. That's not what we were saying.

220
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: All we were saying was in the in the actually

221
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: the stats actually showed it, but we don't get into

222
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: stats like that. But every time it was crunch time,

223
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: he was that motherfucker gonna get those buckets. But if

224
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: you watch the game, Perk but was calling plays for Chris,

225
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: Middleton and christ He wasn't calling for you know what

226
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying, But that's motherfucker that don't know the game.

227
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: But it's different now. I just don't want us to

228
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: get bored with Yann and what the numbers that he's

229
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: putting up. I mean, when you say the most when

230
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: you say the most dominant players in shack Chris, that's

231
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: some explanatory rights. And they don't then one moment, Steph

232
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: Kurt check this out. People saying he's going through a slump,

233
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: and he may be right, but bro, people, you got

234
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: organizations showing their fucking hand already like they're running playoff

235
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: type Schames to go out the three. But even if

236
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: he does go through that, like they're showing their hand

237
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: in January detailing a playoff like you don't pull off

238
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, come on, messed off with that and

239
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: Draymond coming back nasty. Moving along the top five teams

240
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: at the midpoint, Jack, I'm gonna start with you top

241
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: five teams at the midpoint. Let's go go to State Phoenix. Uh,

242
00:14:53,440 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: we'll go New Jersey, Brooklyn, Brooklyn my bad when I

243
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: was there. That's what I'm saying. Milwaukee. I'm from Memphis

244
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: and the like the dark Side. Ain't nothing wrong with Listen,

245
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong with the dark Side. I'm going I'm

246
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna go to Stay Phoenix. Can you not? Can you not?

247
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm putting Chicago in there. I'm putting Memphis in there.

248
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Number five hard Man number five and number five hard

249
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: But here's the thing with Woma. Put the Bucks at

250
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: five and not Brooklyn. It just hasn't been enough for me.

251
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: When you look at Brooklyn, like the consistency with James

252
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: Harden been at you know what I'm saying, Like he

253
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: shows up every nine, and then you know what's up

254
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: with Kyle, Like you know what I mean? How the

255
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: chemist should go work? And here's the thing about Brooke.

256
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk. Would nobody say you cannot

257
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: name me one championship there was one without having a

258
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: defensive anchor in the middle of center. You can play

259
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: as much small ball as you want, but you in

260
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: some kind of way, You're gonna look at every championship

261
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: team they had some type of center, a guy that

262
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: could play center, anchor that defense in the Brooklyn Kness

263
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: just don't have that. Yeah, So I'm going with the

264
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: books at five my top five. I got the Warriors,

265
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: I got Phoenix, I got Memphis, I got Milwaukee, and

266
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: I got Miami. And although high on Chicago, high on Chicago,

267
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and I think I think I think they've exceeded with

268
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: all the respects, I think they've exceeded expected to. People

269
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: want to change, but you know I think they Yeah,

270
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: I think they've forgot that's your team, that you you're two. Yeah,

271
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I think it. Chicago has had a great season at

272
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: this point. But when when I said at the beginning,

273
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: Sea And I thought they were top four team, people like, no,

274
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: they're number one right now. But I think once they

275
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: come back down to Earth. They're going through some injuries.

276
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: Right now, I think they'll come back down in the pack.

277
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: Because I want to say, it's only a two and

278
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: a half gap between the one seed and the sixth

279
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: seed in the Eastern Conference. So a bad week and

280
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: have you at six for one. So because we all

281
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: felt that we're all feel in this way, we just

282
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: we was just like we can't put them in just

283
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: yet Calves, I like that team. Well, that's leading to

284
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: let's talk about them. Let's lie, that's leading to our

285

Speaker 1: surprise team of the year. Let's go So would you

302
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: before he tours a c L was actually considered the

303
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: best point and just in that draft. But because his

304
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: knee injury, you know what I mean, it's set them

305
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: back in the draft. But if he was healthy, it

306
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: could have been a whole We could be talking about

307
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: some other things. But it's the Calves, man like, like

308
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: they ain't balking, ain't talking about but they and they

309
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: got wings, They got athletely young wings, Core Row and

310
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: all those guys. That's some dogs. I think they've created

311
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: life after Lebron, you know what I mean, Like I

312
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: finally have a new identity over the Inland. The same

313
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: thing with Memphis. Will touch on that later, but you

314
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: know that that grindhouse, grit and grind zbo and them

315
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: like that. That Memphis team has created a new identity

316
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: UM as well. But I really like that team, your

317
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: surprise team at the midway point of this season. Man,

318
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: you said that Memphis by far. I mean I was

319
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: high in Chicago. Chicago, you know, started out to a

320
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: good start with the team. They had a new team

321
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: to to be at the top of the East like

322
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: they are. But Memphis, for sure, the West is that

323
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: it's a different animal and they've been going to the

324
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: Eastern conversation. Western conference is strong people, so I got

325
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: to go with mad I'm not mad at that. Uh

326
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: my pick of Chicago. They were my pick at the

327
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. I'm not going to change that.

328
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: I love what they got going on over there. I

329
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: love with the bar de Rosen has brought to that

330
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: team as far as obviously you see what he's doing

331
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: with the big shots and game winners and points. But

332
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: I think his leadership in and and he you know,

333
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: studied under Pot for a few years and he's been

334
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: in the wars in Toronto. I love Crusoe and Ball

335
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: in the back court, that defense. When they're both healthy,

336
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: they really get to a Voostovich is a little slow.

337
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: I think they need a stretch, for an athletic stretch

338
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: forward their career to really take them to the next level.

339
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: But I looked they got a young, hungry team. Billy

340
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: Donovans over doing this thing, man. So that's my team

341
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: up to this point. Most improved player perk Man, most

342
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: improved player. I can't go with a guy like the conversation, Yeah,

343
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, after number two, you

344
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: want Rookie of the Year, Like the next step is

345
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: all starts. Like I'm not saying most improved is beneath you.

346
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: But it almost it's almost like even that one year

347
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: when people was almost like, man, Lucas should get most improved,

348
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: You shouldn't you know, we got like the expectations of

349
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: high to put him in the m v P cast

350
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: Rent Like, now I'm Rents in the m v P

351
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: category to me, and I agree with you instead of

352
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: the most improved because he's had a great leap man

353
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: so many it's so many out there, man, Like you know,

354
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: you got Bronson, man who Luca was out he putting

355
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: up big numbers. So I mean, damn, you got Jordan Pool.

356
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: But I think join Pool gonna be affected by Clay

357
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: being back, so I don't see him being now towards

358
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: the tail end of it. But if I gotta go

359
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: with the most improved, man, I gotta go with Desmond Baks.

360
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm staying on the dog side of Memphis a matter

361
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: of time. That's your average and nine point this your

362
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: average at eighteen like no dealing Brooks, no problem. I

363
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: got killer right here, and then he added more to

364
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: his game. It's not just I'm labeled as a sniper.

365
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm getting to the rap one to

366
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: driple pull ups and I ain't the hole. I'm gonna.

367
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go to Thomas with Lebron James

368
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: and okay cool, I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Tyler Hero.

369
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: Oh good, I think my mother. He talked, He talked

370
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of talking. We love guys that talking talking

371
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: about backed it up, and he backed it up. So

372
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I gotta go with Tyler Hero and he really stepped in.

373
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: Darla Andrews dad going on beginning say he should be

374
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: an All Star. I was about to be he should

375
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: be an All Star. I'm gonna go with Miles Bridget No, no, no, no,

376
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Yeah, Myles Bridges and Charlotte made

377
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: a great move. We talked about it earlier in the season.

378
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: Made a great move by turning down Charlotte's Do you

379
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: think it was a sixty million dollar day at the

380
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. He got itself a lot more money.

381
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: The way he's been playing this year, career year, Him

382
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: and Lamello's chemistry is is is unbelievable. So to me,

383
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: those are the two cornerstones of that franchise. And I'm

384
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: a big fan of h Miles Bridges. The rookie of

385
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: the Year is talented class um. Some guys haven't really

386
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, I guess projected the way we thought they

387
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: were at this point, but it's it's a tough thinging

388
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fine. But park who at this crafway

389
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: point usual rookie of the Year mm hmm, God damn

390
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: right now is between Scottie Barnes and Molbley. Kay couldn't

391
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: have been bothered by the way Detroit's they like he

392
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: he didn't have a triple double. They just fucking sucked.

393
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: So it's not his fault. But he's actually putting up

394
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: the numbers. But man, I'm gona have to go with

395
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: Evan Mobili top ten in black and blocks like top

396
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: ten down there playing like a season vet, like you

397
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like playing this role. I'm looking

398
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: out versatile years. He's he's putting up the numbers, but

399
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: you gotta watch them. You gotta actually watch him, you

400
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like I think he's up there

401
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: with one and two in every category. But man, I'm

402
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm i gotta go with Mobile Man at that it's

403
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: really I mean, when you look at that's the only

404
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: person you can really go if if you look at

405
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: like the effect he brings on the game with his

406
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: team like he does, he does a lot, you know

407
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And like you said, playing to play

408
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: a role like that as a rookie, you gotta give

409
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: him his props. I think he got that locked. Yeah,

410
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: shout out now I agree the same thing for me.

411
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: And what's crazy is you know he went to that seat,

412
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: so I got to see him play, and he played

413
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: really well in college. But I think he's gonna be

414
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: a better pro than you know, sometimes it's do their transer.

415
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna like he's game has built for

416
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: the pros and uh, he's definitely someone that's gonna, you know,

417
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: be there for a long time. Park. Who's your favorite team?

418
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean I already know the anth No, I ain't

419
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna keep righting with Memphis like that. Who's your favorite

420
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: team to watch this season? Every fine team to watch them? Yeah, yeah,

421
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: but they are, I mean ain't number one, but it's

422
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: other teams I could give some credit to. So I'm

423
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go obviously Memphis at one, but everybody

424
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: know this ship I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go

425
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: with Damn Man, I want to go with the Hawks,

426
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: but they've been losing. I don't really know if I

427
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: can go against the grade against against Memphis, do they Son?

428
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: I want. I'm trying to give somebody else to benefit.

429
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: Is that more exciting team in the NBA right now

430
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: outside of Memphis? I think that the most exciting team

431
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: in the game. That's what I'm saying. Well, I mean

432
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: go to State. Yeah, yeah, that's my team, but that

433
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: I like, I'll sit down and it's just some time.

434
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: Just something about Memphis. Man. Yeah, I'm not mad at that. Jack,

435
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: you gotta go go to State with me. I love

436
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: to play, but I also like watching the Nets play

437
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: when they got all three of those guys. Yeah, I

438
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: like smart teams, you know, go and stay. There's a

439
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: smart team that evolved movement similar to the teams. Oh,

440
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking of. It wasn't a house Charlotte.

441
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: Charlotte is fun to watch Charlotte, Mellow Nobs and Ship,

442
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: but I can't get pick them up, but I put

443
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: them sick. My team is Golden State, Dark Horse Jack,

444
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: a team that maybe not not a lot of people

445
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: are talking about, but you think has a chance to

446
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: to get to the big game, the big Finals. It's

447
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: kind of hard, man, because this year, I think the

448
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: front runners are gonna be the ones that we can

449
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: rely on. You know, I don't think it's gonna be

450
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna maybe Yeah, I really, I really

451
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: don't think. But if I had to pick a dark horse,

452
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: I would have to go ship. It's just a Memphis

463
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,200

464
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,880

474
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: the game period period when it comes the game adjustment.

475
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about adjustments, not at half time, in the

476
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: time many and this we're about to go to this?

Speaker 1: with Chicago again. Inexperience overall, but the mar has been

482
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: there and when I feel like whenever you play hard man,

483
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: you got a chance. And they got a lot of

484
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: dogs over there in Chicago too, so if they can

485
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,240

486
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:15,560

Speaker 1: out to Buddy Heeled up in Sacramento. Not that I

492
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: just worked there, but he's right behind Tyler Hero and

493
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 1: scoring points off the bench, having a good year over

494
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: there to although the team's not playing well. But I

495
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: definitely am rolling with Tyler Hero as well. Defensive Player

00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,280

00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: have to go with real to go bird like everybody

500
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: else because the per hundred possessions bullshit analytics and all

501
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: that ship that sucked up the game. Oh but if

502
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm going on the ye test person that straps up,

503
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: damn godly man, you know what, you know what, I'm

504
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna go out on a limb and I'm gonna say

505
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: it's about time for like a guard a wing to

506
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: win it, not just bigs or you know. So, I'm

507
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go with mkill Bridge. You've been locking up.

508
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: He's definitely first team on defense this year. I mean

509
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: he's on the person. I know, they could on him

510
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: so long you could stand up in side shoe scratching

511
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: his I'm gonna go with Draymond. I'm gonna go to

512
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: Draymond because to me, he's the one guy on the

513
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: lifting and guard every position on the floor effectively any night.

514
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: So passion right, It's the difference between guarding my fun

515
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: because coach tell you, go Guarden, are you embracing this ship? Yeah?

516
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: And and to be a back line blanket at six five, Yeah,

517
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a back line blanket in the NBA

518
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: six five and putting filling boys hard. Yeah. Uh. Coach

519
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: of the Year perk, I'll start with you. I think

520
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: you might already mentioned them, but you got at this

521
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: point midway coach of the year that go biggest style call.

522
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: Actually you're not. I mean, it's a lot of coaches.

523
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that's deserving of it. But man, just know,

524
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't know about child, but I didn't. I wasn't

525
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: even thinking of the Cows being in the playoffs. Nobody

526
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: I said this is another year for them to get

527
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: a top ten PI you know what I mean. I

528
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't even think not not only to be in the playoffs,

529
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: but one of the best. Sh I gotta go because

530
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: when you come to defense and guys by and end,

531
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: that's a real fliction of the respect that you have

532
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: for your coach as a coach. So I gotta roll

533
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: with I gotta royal with j be on this. For me,

534
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: I love JB and you know I would love to

535
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: put him in that position, But for what this coach

536
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: has done to this team as a new team, I

537
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: gotta go with Billy Donovan. I gotta go a bill

538
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: of dog. I liked that. I liked that. Yeah, I'm

539
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: in double up on that. I got Billy Donovan to Also,

540
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: you could put Monty Williams in there. Phoenix has the

541
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: best record in the game. You could really the second

542
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: half of the season really gonna test Steve nash you know,

543
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: we talked about this the other day. Katie's is in

544
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: and out, James is you know, So Steve nashally gonna

545
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: really get put to the test the second half the season.

546
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: But y'all agree with you. I'm on Billy Donovan. At

547
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, the two I think the

548
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: two teams unanimously that everyone wanted to see in the

549
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: finals was this team in l A and the Brooklyn

550
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Nets is big three. Um, let's talk about both these

551
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: teams where they're kind of at at the midway point

552
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: and moving forward, Parking, Let's start with the Brooklyn Nets.

553
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: Thoughts on Kyrie's back and forth, now, Katie's hurt, James

554
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: Hardness had an up and down year, top heavy team. UM,

555
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: talk to me about the Nets. You know what that

556
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna be just fine, like healthy, They're gonna be

557
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: just fine. It is the thing I tell people this

558
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: all the time. I'd rather have a part time Kyrie

559
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: than a no time Cyrie. So it is what it

560
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: is to this point. And you have to respect the

561
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: man's decision when it comes down to being vaccinated, because

562
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvan is not the only player and that's not vaccinated,

563
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: right right, right exactly. So you know that was never

564
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: my thing with Kylerie. My thing was I just wanted

565
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: him to stand on wherever he was standing. But you

566
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: know when I look at them, okay, cool. We all

567
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: know in the playoffs, in the playoffs, role players, role

568
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: players play better, play better with at home, right, Okay?

569
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: If the role with the role players the Brooklyn Nets

570
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: guy and James and James Harden and Katie can win

571
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: them home games in the playoffs together, then they're not

572
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: who they're not who we think they are. Okay, But

573
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: when you go on the road role players sometimes, you

574
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, they tightened up, tightened up. Now

575
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: you gotta fresh Kyrie fresh fresh coming in. They could

576
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: give you that thirty forty fifty and take you home,

577
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So when I look at

578
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets and this whole situation from listening on

579
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: how Kyree talk about it, the guys got his back

580
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: and that's all that mattered. What every and I and

581
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: I feeling them for starting it early, like let's get

582
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: these reps in early so we know how idea. So

583
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. Jack, What if I said, what

584
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: if I threw this wrench at it? Katie's down for

585
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: six weeks. My whole thing was always like he said,

586
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: part time Kyrie is better than no time Kyrie. Game

587
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: seven at home? But what if this team, like I said,

588
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: the East is so tight right now, what if Katie's

589
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: injury this team slides out of a home court advantage.

590
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Now Game sevens are on the road and you've got

591
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: Kyrie for Game sevens. I mean, that's that's crazy. You

592
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: brought it up the other day. That's crazy. That's the

593
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: crazy way to look at it too. But I think

594
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: with Katie going down right now, you know, you got

595
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: to look at the good side of it. It's just

596
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: giving him some time to get rest. He had lot

597
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: been on him, uh this season with Carrie being out

598
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: and James being herd so it's been a lot oppressure

599
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: on Katie. So this and to give him a time

600
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: to rest reboot his mind. I mean then to something

601
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: that you know that's factual that we ain't brought up.

602
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: The only thing about paying the fine so Kye can

603
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: play full time. So we don't know what next team

604
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: is gonna be there at the beginning this season. But

605
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: for us, we want to see the whole. We want

606
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: to see the whole next team healthy. But I'm I

607
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: want to re interest uthing that Perk said. I'm not

608
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: confident in their bench at all. It was confident in

609
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: Joe Harris last year. What do you do leg So

610
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not confident in the guys that got

611
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: coming off the bench. If anything's happened, if enough the

612
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: star goes down. I started not having a good game,

613
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So they've bench or something

614
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: I can't rely on. So who you leaning on? So

615
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: you're leaning on the Big Three, You're leaning on LaMarcus, Argists,

616
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: Patty Mills and Blake. I'm leaning on the Big Three

617
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: and LaMarcus Argists and Patty Mills because Patty Mills has

618
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: been there. You know, Patty Mill is gonna do his

619
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: job on both ends. Marcus has Shawn signs you know,

620
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: of being the same guy, but we know his role.

621
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get that many touches like he used

622
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: to playing with those guys. They gotta go through him.

623
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: The perk was talking about this stuff, that thing right now,

624
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: they gotta feature him a little bit more out James Simmon,

625
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: James at home. It was it was like Leving and two,

626
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: Eleving and two when he scores over I think like

627
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: nineteen points. Yeah, you know, I hear these stats, but

628
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: it's true. You watch them play. They go through them

629
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: off the bench that was using them. They was using

630
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: them as almost a six man it's type and you

631
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: can play sounding for them. Yeah. Um, so a healthy

632
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Brooklyn nets can we can we picture this lineup

633
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: direct people, we go off with nets. Picture this picture

634
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: this Patty Mills at the one, Kyre at the two James,

635
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: the Marcus and Katie. That's a good line up in

636
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: these days. Again, in this day's game, they're gonna get

637
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: beat up on the on the glass. You don't think,

638
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: um kay, they'll get in there, get your he gonna

639
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: get in the team to get your tin. Now they're

640
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: gonna get beat up on the glass. Change to get

641
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: your tiny. They're gonna get beat up on the glass.

642
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: So just because they're small, but I like a lot.

643
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: That's that's the killer offensive and that's what they might

644
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: need to go to. Those are their best players. That's

645
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: the best five players. Yeah, man, that's a lot of

646
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: that's a lot of a lot of heat. Now you

647
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: want Los Angeles Lakers. UM eight has been out going

648
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: on six weeks back soon. Lebron has transition to working smarter,

649
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: not harder. So he's working on that pinch post in

650
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: that block area that Kobe and might used to dominate.

651
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: The game is going through him. Westbrook up and down season.

652
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: Um Taylan Horton Tucker not playing the way he thought

653
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: he was, well what they thought he was gonna play.

654
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Reaves is working himself back in the big experiment

655
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: hasn't been working. DJ hasn't been playing at all. Credit

656
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: to Dwight Howard. Whenever he's been called upon, he's played well.

657
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: Um thoughts on this team, Malik Monk having a great season.

658
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: Shout out Malik Monk, Dandy Johnson, Stanley Johnson. They need

659
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: to sign him for the year. He's that young bulldog

660
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: they that they don't have that they need. But park

661
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Lakers. Oh, you know when they first

662
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: when they joined, right, we was like it gotta work,

663
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: it gotta work. They got too much, you know, firepower.

664
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden they age started to show, right,

665
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: the game started all of a sudden. You see Golden

666
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: State with these athletic wings and and they're faster and

667
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: things to that nature. So when I look, when I

668
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: look at the Lakers and start with Russ, and I'm

669
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: watching Russ and and his as he gets older, right

670
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: as he's getting older, his athleticism is the climate a

671
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: little bit, it's the climbing a little bit. That's why

672
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: that fifteen foot we used to see, they used to

673
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: go in for him is short now because he's not

674
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: getting the elevation on his shot anymore. Right, So when

675
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: you look at him attacking the basket and like, yeah,

676
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: we know we saw him blessed Rudy may he blessed

677
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: his game, but think about the lay up so help

678
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: him get caught in between whether he was gonna dunct.

679
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: So with that being said, it's almost like he's not

680
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: fighting to get up over screens. And then when I

681
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: hear Russ say ship like after the after the games,

682
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: he was like, it's more it's more to basketball. Is

683
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: it's more to life than just basketball. And I'm like, na, Russ,

684
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: ain't no, Like no, bro, Like you came to l

685
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: A for one reason and one reason only even if

686
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: it is, and ain't it is, But like no, that

687
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: that ain't. So I'm like, I don't know where he's at,

688
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: but I will say this. I will say this, Malik Monk. Yeah,

689
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: when they are fully healthy, he that Mothercker needs to

690
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: be in the rotation period. Was the lefty from Miami.

691
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: Hendrick Dunn is still but he's tough, but Braun moving

692
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: to the center and playing the center the way he did,

693
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't see that mess. It you

694
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: see that message was the A D coach asked me

695
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: to play the sin I'm gonna show you how to

696
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: play the ciner B said, I got magic in me too.

697
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna show you. So when

698
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: you get back, I want you to and not not

699
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: us force you to play sin a D. I want

700
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 1: you to waste this ship watch I embrace it, still

701
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: dominate and enjoy. And y'all y'a already know, like I

702
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: know when you hurt, and no matter how look, when

703
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: you're hurting, you're sitting on the sideline for the standard

704
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: period of time. You start seeing things through a different lens.

705
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: You start evaluating the game a little bit differently. And

706
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: that's what I think that Braun ain't gonna say ship

707
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: to a deal about it? Here go, I got the

708
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: five spot. That's a message to A D like I

709
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: need I need you on this when you get back.

710
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. But I think Lebron and a D at

711
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: the four or five however they played together, it's gonna

712
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: be seen. See. But they're not coming. I mean they're

713
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: not coming questions. What's that again? They're not coming out

714
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: of was I don't even think they have a chance,

715
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 1: and that's that. It's hard to go against Braun because

716
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: he didn't proved us wrong for us get in to

717
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: the finals. But Matt, I just I just can't see

718
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: it because teams are not scanned, absolutely not. They look

719
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: forward to let after that game, they look forward to

720
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: open that as. The only thing I'll say is I

721
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: think to combat what you said, because they are an older,

722
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: slower team. To me, they're built for the playoffs, and

723
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: I think right now they're on Coup's control, knowing that

724
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: at the end of that we just got to get

725
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: in and then that's gonna be our best shot. And

726
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you could flip the switch, because an

727
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: older team who knows if you could flip the switch,

728
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: Lebron is always gonna give you a great chance. But

729
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 1: I say this team is built for seven game serious,

730
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: because they're gonna get days off in between. The game

731
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: slows down in the playoffs, so I think that's where

732
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna be at their best. I feel like they're

733
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: gonna hit their stride after the playoffs, if that excuse me,

734
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: After all Star breakup, they can get healthy. But we'll see.

735
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: To me, the best Lakers in the playoffs because it's

736
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: a seven game series. It's gonna slow down and they

737
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: won't have to be like you said this with team

738
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: Jack thoughts on them? Can can they come at if

739
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: everyone is healthy? Can they come out of the West? Yeah?

740
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: If they fired the head coach? Oh no, Jack, No No.

741
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: I've never been a fan of Vocal. I've never been

742
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: a fan of Vogal. I just know I don't think

743
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: he's the coach for this team. Bro. And I've been right,

744
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: godamn it, not this thing. You know, the championship team

745
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: was new k D and Braun knew they're gonna They're

746
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: good enough to figure it out for a season. They're

747
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: getting older. You add in all these pieces. He can't

748
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: handle all that rust. Miller just too much for him.

749
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: And that's why the ain't coming together because they don't

750
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 1: respect him, right, I could see that. But its locker

751
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: room down. If you have Frank Vogel shoes and y'all

752
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: acquired a Russell Westbrook that's making forty three million dollars

753
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: to you, not not you. I don't not you. I

754
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: don't want you. I know how you were reacting. I

755
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: want you to put your so like in my frame

756
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: of just a coach, not take it, you know, go

757
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: into a whole another character. Just how can like what

758
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: you're supposed to tell Russell Westbrook about getting up over screens?

759
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: You know what I mean about? Stop gambling about stop

760
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: leaving your feet to pass the ball when you learn

761
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: this ship at the age. I got a better one

762
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: for your big Femi, I got a better one for you.

763
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: Fuck being somebody else and pretending I'm gonna go with

00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: red Greg Papovitch, I'm gonna set your ass down. Fuck

00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: the money, funk how much I'm paying you. You're not

766
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: helping us win. I don't know how good you win.

767
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm a Greg Papa bitch. I'm gonna set you at

768
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: the end of the bench until you buy into what

769
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: we need you to do to be successful, not what

770
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 1: you want to do or what's been successful other places.

771
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: We're talking about what we need you to do. Here.

772
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: You you you can. You bring a lot to the game,

773
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: but you're not doing what we need to do at

774
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: the times we need you to do it. You know,

775
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: say so, I'm gonna go Greg Popas, I'm gonna see

776
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: your ass down. But look, do you think do y'all

777
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: think Vogel has that type of power and support from

778
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: the front office because we know the politics side. Is

779
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: that a conversation bron can have for him. Brown ain't

780
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: no guy that want to have conversations. See See that's

781
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: the thing. See that's the thing. People don't really but

782
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Ain't having no conversation with different Come

783
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: on to the office, Russ. I'm gonna sit you down

784
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: and just like I did Tony Park in the championship game,

785
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit you down, let Speedy cast and play

786
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: because he compete competing with Stefan Marbre and all these

787
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: other guys. Jason Kid, you're not competing. So you know what, Tony,

788
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit you down. I don't know how mad

789
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: you is. I'm gonna sit you down and play speedy

790
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: because that's how that's what's gonna get us. Only see

791
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: only see maybe three coaches doing that in the NBA,

792
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: POPA and Hoyluke. Yeah. Yeah, I don't see no other

793
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: coaches doing that. I don't see no other coaches doing

794
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: that now. But I feel you though, man, it's just

795
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: it's just man. But now I feel your point on

796
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: that stack. But but the boys just haven't been playing

797
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: because here's the thing, and I want to say this,

798
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Just look at the wind when they

799
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: beat the Jazz of thenight, Frank Voga said fuck it.

800
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: When they made they run. He had Braun, he had

801
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: uh Horton Tucker, Avery Bradley was guarantee, Stanley Johnson who's

802
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 1: on a ten day and Belik Monk who's on the minimum.

803
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: He had those five guys and he wrote that ships

804
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: about the three minute up and then he said, come

805
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: on the Russ. We got the seven point lead. If

806
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: you fuck this off you, it's on me. I guess,

807
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: but that's what I'm saying. So it was people that

808
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: bought in and actually did the ship that he asked

809
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: them to do. And I when I go back to

810
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: even a guy like Mello best score, we get that

811
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: one of the greatest scores the game I've ever seen.

812
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to it, I need that

813
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: effort on defense. He's giving you sixth thing points on

814
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: one end, but he's giving up thirty to thirty five

815
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: on the other. He can't slide his feet that. I mean,

816
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: what you want to do if you vote with what

817
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: you're doing, because I know broad advocating for don't get

818
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: your drink defense. All right, um man, it's coming up

819
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 1: on two years. Uh since the passing of Kobe, Gigi

820
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: and the other people on the helicopter. Um man, sending

821
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: love and enlightening energy to the family. Um perk real quick. Uh,

822
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: you had two runners with Cobe in the finals, um

823
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: talk to us about both them. You got one at home,

824
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: then you got hurt in the finals, and they got

825
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: it at home. Two thousand and ten, he said, I

826
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: was at the loss was his hardest Larde series he

827
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: ever took, and in the wind that was his best championship.

828
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,240
Speaker 1: It was it was in his loss. Cold gave everything

829
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: he possibly could. Like we were to the point in

830
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and eightl we was like, you know what

831
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna give code. We we we ain't gonna give

832
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: it to him, but we can't stop him. So it

833
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: is what it is. You know, Ray wasn't stopping his ass.

834
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean that we're already battling

835
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: down there with these two trees and little more old him.

836
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: So it was like we gotta counsel everybody out. He

837
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna get his Let me tell you what that two

838
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: thousand and ten Ship it hit different, and I feel

839
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: like it hit different for Code because I was watching,

840
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 1: and man, he struggled that whole game. He really kind

841
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: of struggled that whole series. But every team, each the

842
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: team that won that game in that series wanted to

843
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: rebound in battle, and Kobe knew that ship. So in

844
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: game seven, I thought he shot like maybe six for

845
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: twenty four from the field. I believe he had like

846
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: fifteen eighteen rebounds, six or seven. The motherfucker's was offensive

847
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: to go to the free throw line, Like that's how

848
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: bad he wanted this. He will, yeah, he will, And

849
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: then you have to realize this it was him. Yeah,

850
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: he had gassault Becausaul wasn't the same at the time,

851
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: and no disrespect took us ault. But he's not in

852
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: the same he's not in the same conversation with Kobe

853
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: Ray Paul KG. So so in Kobe eyes, it's really

854
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: is one against three. And I didn't took you, I

855
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: didn't took out out one day. Yeah, one deed, I

856
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: got you all. I got you one ded. You was

857
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: playing well though two for you hurt your knee. You

858
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: was playing really well out there trying to get it man,

859
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: how to get it? Sir Jack, your moment that stands

860
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: out to me. Obviously you guys have some great battles

861
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: the league, but you're McDonald's all American experience, Like you said,

862
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 1: talked to us about that, you knew the vibe coming

863
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: in Code's stamp that you should have been m v P.

864
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: Talked to us about that ninety six McDonald's game with

865
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: Code Man. That was a good experience, man, you know,

866
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: just being able to grow up with him, you know,

867
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: know him as a teenager and seeing them the player

868
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: he becomes, you know, one of the greatest ever to

869
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: do it, you know. But for me, my greatest moment

870
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: with Cold was when me and you was gonna Golden State.

871
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,439
Speaker 1: Uh it was a tie game, you know. Actually we're

872
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: up to Kobe comes down to hit the three. I

873
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,319

00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: was playing We played them back to back nights. We

878
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: played them home first in l A. Then then they

879
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: go to State. But just that night, you know, so

880
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,560

Speaker 1: him on that on that stage was was something I

883
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: always remember. But he said he was gonna be one

884
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: of the great man. He did that. A lot of

885
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 1: people say ship and don't do it now he did that. Yeah,

886
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I just got to see, you know, from

887
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 1: going to someone I watched since I was in college

888
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: up at U c l A coming up on campus,

889
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: to competing, to almost getting into a fight to become

890
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: a teammate, to really getting to know him as a

891
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: as a brother, as a man, as a father, and

892
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: just the bond we built outside of the basketball. We

893
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: had some cool times during basketball. But you know, him

894
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: always sent in the Twins. Every time he dropped the shoe,

895
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: he send the Twins and their team shoes. If the

896
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,720
Speaker 1: Twins played at nine and g G played at eleven,

897
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,399

Speaker 1: olds nine year olds. But but he just did it

901
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: because he loved it. So just to really get a

902
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: chance to see him outside of the Mamba to get

903
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: to get to get to know Kobe was a very

904
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,239

912
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: to go probably to Miami because I think fit that style.

913
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: I think I could be a a good asset to

914
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: them with score and a defender on the way to

915
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: help PJ and Jimmy. I would say, Miami is more

916
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: of my style. To call perk and I'm going to Miami.

917
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to Miami for everything Yo's outside of the

925
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm with dope best friend, and I want to go

926
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: to a healthy Lakers, but I would want to run

927
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: it back from Golden States and I got hurt going

928
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: into the playoffs that year in seventeen and there was

929
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: a dope situation. So a healthy chance to rock with

930
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: them boys to be dope. Jack, you're up at s

931
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: r S fifteen ninety four. What do you think about that?

932
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,720
Speaker 1: The possibility of a mid season tournament n c A style?

933
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: No like man like no like, like you know what,

934
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 1: I was against the play in, and after I saw

935
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: the playing we could play in, It's like, okay, the

936
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: play in is the playoffs before the playoffs. I'm with that,

937
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: But let's not keep adding this, Like, what's the point

938
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: of even adding this and talking about two million dollars? Well,

939
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: two million dollar prize to the motherfucker making forty two million.

940
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: That ship don't mean that. I'll tell you this. I

941
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: do got the idea for the All Star Game one

942
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: on one tournament. One on one tournament was winning from

943
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: two million dollars. All the top players in the league

944
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:34,280
Speaker 1: in that tournament. Who's winning. Katie's not gonna be playing

945
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: Clay is not all Kyrie won't be an All Star

946
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: this year. I'm going Greek. I'm going to honest to dogs,

947
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: deebo everything and if you big, he go go buy you, Ego,

948
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: Euro Step Dunc that hold all that. Yeah, I'm going

949
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: to honest dog No Katie though, I'm going to honest

950
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: at roots life form. Who had the better block? John

951
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: mored two hands off the glass this year? Uh Ta

952
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: Shaw prins on Reggie Miller back in old Folk. That

953
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: was more meaningful. That was in the Eastern Conference finals, Right,

954
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to either one of them. Jordan gonna

955
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: pen Ron Mercer ship and fifty two hands pinned and

956
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: fifty and gave him forward of that game. Stop it,

957
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: y'all better do your homework. But he wasn't fifty years old,

958
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: was he? Man? He was damn nil. Yeah. It was

959
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: goddamn yeah yeah, party by party too, by party. Um.

960
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: I would say that that obviously the Shan block is

961
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: a historic block. It meant so much. But John just

962
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: for how fucking little he is and the way he

963
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: got it. He putting his arm pits on the on

964
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: the backboard, he lets you know he's about to jump.

965
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: Before he jumped to he get the steps together, he

966
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: wind up and all that his hair be swinging in

967
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: the back, your flying and blocking your ship that we

968
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,920
Speaker 1: already know. You know, like Tay Shawn saved the day

969
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: with this man. Here's the thing about job it just says.

970
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 1: It just goes to show you the type of competitor

971
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: he is and a team guy. Because because he's the

972
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: one that turned over the ball. So he turned over

973
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: the ball and he got back in transition and he

974
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: really meant that, like he got back not to the

975
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: far I like, he got back on something like I'm

976
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: trying to win something like hello, man, this dude twenty

977
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: two man, Like we already know what he could do,

978
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: everything else he could do, but he that team has

979
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: kind of embodied his personality that and the franchise is

980
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: taking his energy. Love it. You know what I love

981
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: about him? No, I see him in the spot Memphis,

982
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: no drinking, no nothing, saying it was up to everybody.

983
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: He went in the you know what I'm saying. But

984
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: he's standing alone, he's doing his own thing. He locked in,

985
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: super locked in love to hear it. Skott Walker underscore

986
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: twenty six. Do you gotta see the Lakers making the

987
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: run of the playoffs and can the Bulls make a

988
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: run in the Eastern Conference? They can make it look

989
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: what's the first question? Of course the Lakers. I think

990
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: the Legs are them squeezing the playoffs. They're gonna find

991
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna un run. They can do that too. It

992
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: depends on how healthy they are. They can't like, we're

993
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: not gonna dispect the Lakers like they ain't got Brough

994
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: and Rugs. Come on now, they still got Hall of

995
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: Fame with all over the roster. But can they can

996
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: they turn it around in enough time when we send

997
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: history shows us from being professionals. You can't just turn

998
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: it on. I don't get from who you got. I'm

999
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: going to the playoffs to one of the championships. But uh,

1000
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: I still think they can the Bulls. They can make

1001
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: it look interesting and you know, some things will have

1002
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: to go They wait for them to make it out

1003
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know what I'm saying, injuries

1004
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: with other teams and ain't talking about they say somebody

1005
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: has heard others. You know what I'm saying. Things got

1006
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: to go right for the Bulls to pull it off.

1007
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: I think with the Lakers, you can't count Brawn out.

1008
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: He's proving that to is a D. Like we're talking

1009
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,479
Speaker 1: about a D, but a D quality like I'm talking

1010
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: about because I expect Bore but like he's bro. He's

1011
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: quietly averaging leven like and it's effen. But like if

1012
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: you would get the A D back to the A

1013
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: D where we were actually having a conversation about who

1014
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: will we take Jani's or a D. If you get

1015
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: to that a D, then you definitely can't count the

1016
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 1: Lakers out. Um, And I figured I feel I feel

1017
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: like their path as well, Like I feel like if

1018
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: the Lagacy Phoenix, Phoenix is a better matchup than them,

1019
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: saying go to State like in the second round or

1020
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: something to that nature. So I think that's what matters.

1021
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: But then you know, when I look at the Bulls,

1022
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: when I look at the East, just overall, I think

1023
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: east Man, the East is really wide open, and that's

1024
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: the fun thing about the league. So I'm looking at

1025
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Bulls and can they make the

1026
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: conference finals? Yes, that actually they really can. Like the

1027
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: Martin Rose exact Lavine twenty seven and points a game,

1028
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,640
Speaker 1: we see what Alonzo Doring, We know what Alice Caruso

1029
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: do without even showing up in the box scores. And

1030
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: then Vossovich man like like he's on some other ship.

1031
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: And then you look at Kobe White. Man, Kobe White

1032
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: this last of them games has been averaging two points

1033
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: off the bench in the story like he's sniping it.

1034
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: He's sniping it. Aye, oh Good, the little backup, big

1035
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: fun Good who got into it with John. So yeah,

1036
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: they definitely could make it to the Eastern Conference finals.

1037
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: Balls is life? Tin, Matt, you were and you were

1038
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 1: in to think like a man? Can't you explain to us?

1039
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: How long did you guys do the same for? How

1040
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: hard was it not to laugh at Kevin Hard was crazy?

1041
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: That was two thousand and ten. I was with the

1042
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Lakers that was coming off in surgery that summer. But

1043
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: we shot that basketball where Ron and rest In Peace,

1044
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Russell Butler, Shannon Brown and me and Lisa Leslie against

1045
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Hard and his crew and Kevin could really play,

1046
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: but he's so motherfucking funny. I promise you probably took

1047
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: us like three hours, three and a half hours to

1048
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: shoot this little basketball scene because he would make everything

1049
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: so like trying to post people and I try to

1050
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: grab the ball, like try to go ice, so like

1051
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: stop filming and try to play one on one with somebody.

1052
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 1: So it was an honored man to get down with Kevin.

1053
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Definitely a funny situation. It would go. Uncle Grabs says,

1054
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: y'all are such big supporters of women's sports. You're fucking right,

1055
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: especially basketball. What for women would you take to hoop

1056
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,479
Speaker 1: with you on the black top? I'm going down the line?

1057
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: Was that? So we're going one of the time. I'm
