Speaker 4: I can't remember what it was, but it was some disagreement.

00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I'm surprised your.

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: Shoulders aren't sore from carrying your team. I was on fire,

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: wowming up the defense, hitting the threes. People were saying,

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: you look like twenty eleven Jason kidd out there and

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: go check the highlights anywhere no dunks can be found.

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,680

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,639

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,720

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I'm not gonna lie. The bag was deep

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: last night, for sure, handle was pretty tight. And I

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: do prefer that nickname. I once was called a Rayfler

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: Frience when I played pick up one, so so.

56
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,480

00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 3: And that's.

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,760

Speaker 1: And if you're a Survivor fan, knew no Buffs later today.

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Recapping episode ten of a Survivor season forty two. Last night,

69
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm halfway through the episode. I have to watch the

70
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: second half. It's like I'm watching playoff games now. I

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: watched the first half and then I'll take a break

72
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: watch the second half.

73
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: I was so pissed that I forgot Survivor was on, oh,

74
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: because I had to watch Heat six instead. Yeah, yeah,

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: that was stirred.

76
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Well that's what we're gonna get into. But let's start

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: with the other game. Let's start with Chris Paul having

78
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: another incredible fourth quarter to lead the Suns in a

79
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: blowout victory over the Mavericks one nine to one oh nine.

80
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: Trey get it started. Through about three.

81
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: Quarters, I would say this was looking like a classic

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: game of basketball. Luca had twenty six going into the fourth,

83
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: the Maps had made thirteen three pointers. Dallas trailed by six.

84
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: But it kind of been back and forth for the

85
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: entirety of the night. But then the hunting began. Quarter

86
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: Chris Paul went at Luka Doncic every single time down

87
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: the court, and it worked pretty much every single time

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: down the court. I've seen a lot of possession based

89
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: stats from your Harlebubs, from your Kirk Goldsberry's yep. I'm

90
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: not sure which is the most accurate stat here, but

91
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: it's always like one point seven plus points per possession.

92
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: That's a lot.

93
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were scoring so easily. It didn't matter if

94
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: Luca was guarding Landry Shammitt or Bismack Biambo. There was

95
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 4: no place to hide for him at all. The Suns

96
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 4: put up forty points in the fourth quarter. Chris Paul

97
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: had fourteen of them, Devin Booker had another nine. Phoenix

98
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: shot sixteen of nineteen and the quarter. The big run

99
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 4: was an eleven to zero streak midway through the fourth

100
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: which ended in a Byambo dunk, and that was really

101
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: the game at that point. The Sun's execution was top notch.

102
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: They don't lose if they have a league going into

103
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter. They literally haven't lost a game yet

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: this season, and they just would not let Luca off

105
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 4: the hook. Dallas tried to help them at one point,

106
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: and that's when the Biambo dunk happened. You know, they're like, okay,

107
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: just go by beyond Bo. Suddenly the ball bim bim

108
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 4: bim bim bm beeping finds beyonda underneath the hoop, big

109
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 4: time dunk. Dallas just felt helpless out there because you

110
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 4: gotta have Luca for your offense. But then if you

111
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 4: got Luca out there playing small ball, really no way

112
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: for the MAVs to start to stop the Suns. It's

113
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: kind of like, you know, the guy sweating looking at

114
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: two different buttons means.

115
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Luca on offense.

116
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 4: Luca on defense is impossible call, but a huge win

117
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 4: for Phoenix. They shot sixty four and a half.

118
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: Percent for the game. Say that again, sixty.

119
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 4: Four and a half percent, sixty four point five percent,

120
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: fifty two percent from three for the game. Booker finished

121
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: with thirty also helped hold Jalen Brunts into nine points.

122
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: Booker was like on another level defensively last night. I

123
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: thought he was great. Chris Paul twenty eight points, eight assists.

124
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: I don't know really what sort of answers Dallas has

125
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: going forward, because it didn't feel like they had many

126
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: last night.

127
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: No, and you're seeing a huge difference between what the

128
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: Mas face in the first round and now what they're facing.

129
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: He Jalen Brunson just can't get going. He did he

130
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: averaged twenty seven points a game against the Utah Jazz,

131
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: and now he's finding just bodies at him. And it's like,

132
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: I think that the Sons are like, well, Luca, we

133
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: can't do much about one on one. He's been great

134
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 3: in the first game, he had the forty five, and

135
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: he was good again last night. But these other guys

136
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: just can't get that freedom, you know, they can't. They

137
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: can't get into an offense where it's like these guys

138
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: can take a few possessions. I mean, Bertan's hit a

139
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: couple of threes, Spencer didn't when he didn't do all

140
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: that much there, you know, Finny Smith, those guys they

141
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: just can't there's no openness out there. That Phoenix defense

142
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: is just so intense, and they know those guys are

143
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: capable hitting those threes, so let's not get it. Let

144
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: them have them. And then you know, last night, for example,

145
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: one of the advantages the Sons have a huge advantages DeAndrea.

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: He got in foul trouble. He got a big flavor

147
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: when he whacked Dwight Powell there early on. You could

148
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: see they were feeding him early on, but he didn't

149
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: really have an impact on the game. And so for

150
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: the Mavericks that's a win. But when you see the

151
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: other guys, and as Trey point out there, I mean,

152
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Chris Paul just chose whatever he wanted to do, and

153
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: whether or not Luca's a bad defender, it's more just

154
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: it's that it's also like, let's just keep him working,

155
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: keep him moving somebody. You know, he gets fatigued, and

156
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: I think you saw that as well.

157
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: So the Mavericks.

158
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: There are a chance when they go home. You know,

159
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: it's only it's only two games, but they need to

160
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: find a way to sort of just get some of

161
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: those guys open shots. But that Phoenix defense is so

162
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: ready and just waiting for everybody out there that every

163
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: shot the Mavericks seem to take is either tough or contested.

164
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Do they have a chance at all the maps in

165
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: this series? Be honest with me, it's very very slim.

166
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: I think it has to be the Suns either getting

167
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: injured or just not feeling like themselves, because if everybody

168
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: is clicking offensively sixty four percent, it's it's.

169
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: Hard to do it.

170
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Shot the sixty you know. Plus in that eight in

171
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: Game one, they were on the verge of doing that. Yeah,

172
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: they were kicking ass. I mean it was fifty forty

173
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: for a lot of the game, and then they sort

174
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: of slow down in the fourth quarter. But they can

175
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: do what they want. I think Chris Paul is the

176
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: best of himself now. The dude is getting better with age.

177
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: He really is. He's gonna be thirty seven tomorrow, Is

178
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: that right? When he comes out of my mouth? That's weird.

179
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: But he is in the best position to win a

180
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: title as the number one guy right now, I think

181
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: you know here, we've got four teams left in the

182
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: Western Conference. He's looking at probably the other side of

183
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: the bracket a little bit. He's got to be peeking

184
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: over after being so confident against this MAVs team, the

185
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: way he was going at anybody really, I mean, whether

186
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: it's Luca, whether it's Reggie Bullock, whether it's a big

187
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: he's got to feel so, so, so good and it's cool.

188
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: We're going to probably juxtaposition to James Harden a little

189
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: bit later in the show, where he is not improving

190
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: with age, he's not looking like he can take over,

191
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: but Chris Policy and anybody on the MAVs defense and

192
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: just obliterating them and then looking at that MAVs bench

193
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 2: over and over and over and saying what are you

194
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: trying to do? What can you do? Being asked about

195
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: it in the postgame press conference, and you know, shooting

196
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: those eyes with Devin Booker. These guys are absolutely ready

197
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: that that finals supper. It's got them ready for this.

198
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: And again looking at the other side of the bracket. Now,

199
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: Gary Payton the second his injury, where he's going to

200
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: be out a few weeks, he won't be able to

201
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: guard Chris Paul. If they meet in the conference finals,

202
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: I think he'll be happy to go at John Moran

203
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: in the Grizzlies perimeter defense. If it's them, he's got

204
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: to be Jack. The Sons have to be Jack. So no,

205
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: the MAVs probably don't have a shot. But also they

206
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: have to be able to score better. I mean it's both,

207
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: it's both ends, and that's the problem. The MAVs can't

208
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: get Jalen Brunson going. I think maybe Jalen Brunson has

209
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: to be the lead guard at the beginning of the

210
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: games to get him going. I think that's probably your

211
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: only other option because, yeah, he stalled out a bit.

212
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: He just has to be better.

213
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was bottled up. He finished a game minus

214
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: twenty two nine points. He said twenty five percent shooting

215
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: from Brunson, second straight game that he struggled against the

216
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: Sun's defense. Chris Paul was trying to help Kim last night.

217
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: He was coaching for him. He's calling timeouts for him.

218
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: That's that's I love that troll move right there. It's like,

219
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: I'm kicking your ass so bad. I'm just advising you

220
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: you should just take a time out and talk it over,

221
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: maybe switch up your defensive game plan. Not that you're

222
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop me right now, he's like surgical.

223
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: It's sort of scary, and the piece he moves at

224
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: and obviously picking who he's going to embarrass and get

225
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: to his spot, and like it just feels like he's

226
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: hitting any jumper he takes in a fourth quarter situation

227
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: right now.

228
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: I thought it was a great point from Waw Murray

229
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: on The Daily Ding Today saying that after Game one,

230
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 4: we saw in the fourth quarter like the MAVs had

231
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 4: a little bit of success with their small ball lineup right,

232
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 4: Like they made it into a run, made it a

233
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: little bit interesting in the fourth quarter. We said, all right,

234
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 4: maybe if you're the MAVs going forward, you think, okay,

235
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: at least we've got something we can try here. They

236
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: tried it again and the Sons were completely ready for it.

237
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 4: It was like Chris Paul said, oh, you got one

238
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 4: over on me a little bit here in game one.

239
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: It ain't happening again. So as soon as they went

240
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: to small ball, it was like, sorry, Luca, you're uh,

241
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 4: you're gonna get embarrassed here for a little bit, and

242
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: that's that's exactly what it was. You know, it got

243
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: so bad eventually that they were like, is is he

244
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 4: still hurt from from his leg injury. It's been quite

245
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: a long time since that happened, and he definitely looked

246
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: like he was slowing down, but he also you know,

247
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 4: if he had twenty four in the first half, yeah,

248
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: maybe a tap is right, Like, maybe Jalen Brunson needs

249
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 4: to take a huge share of the possessions in the

250
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: first half to try and get him going and to

251
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: save Luca because you know he's gonna get hunted again

252
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: if the Mounds are going to have to play small again.

253
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 4: That's the way they can win a game is hitting

254
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: twenty threes. So they're gonna have to do the small

255
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 4: ball thing, and Luca's just got to have a little

256
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 4: bit more energy left there in the fourth quarter.

257
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jason Kidd decided let's go to Brunston in the

258
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: third quarter, and that's why Luca was sort off the

259
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: ball a lot, and he only had one assist after halftime,

260
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: and that just didn't go to work. If Jalen Brunson

261
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: isn't going either, and then yeah, the five small, So

262
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 2: it is interesting. It kind of worked in Game one,

263
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 2: but it's I don't think it's the way to stop

264
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: Chris Paul really. I mean, he's gonna get by his

265
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: initial defender. If the Warriors are scouting this, or if

266
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies are scouting this, they got to be thinking

267
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: we got to keep Draymond Green on the floor or

268
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 2: somebody else on the floor to be a second and

269
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: Gary defender. Because in this day and age, is you know,

270
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 2: as Bob Ryan was saying yesterday, the game's changed, He's

271
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: saying it in a different way. He's talking about three

272
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: pointers and anyways, Uh, it's hard for the guy on

273
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: the perimeter to stop a guy. Mckel Bridges is doing

274
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: a good job on Luca, that's for sure, but you

275
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: need that backup guy and they hid Luca in the

276
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: corner at times, and you can kind of do that

277
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: with five smalls. But I think you need a big

278
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: on Chris Paul right now. And he's just getting better

279
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: as these months progress. It was a question mark after

280
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: the injury. Is he gonna be good in the playoffs?

281
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: Damn right, He's ready. He is so so ready for June.

282
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 2: He can do it man sounds like, yeah, well, the

283
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: conference finals hopefully will be a match. I think the

284
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 2: Gary Payton second, Gary Payton. What did I say, the

285
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: Gary Payton second?

286
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: Callin Peyton or Gary, we have to always put the second.

287
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 2: It's us. We're on the precipice of knowing GP. So well,

288
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: the original ubber.

289
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: Glove I saw somebody wanted to call him because he's bouncing.

290
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: Buff Yeah, absolutely do yeah, me keep your hand.

291
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I know he was nicknamed the Mitch.

292
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: He hated that though, Yeah, yeah, why of course you

293
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 2: would hate that. Nobody wants to be called the mitten.

294
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: The Sons are going to the finals. So what I'm

295
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: I'm sticking my heels in, digging my heels in.

296
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: Uh to the sound.

297
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: Crazy, I'm telling you that months ago, I still think

298
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Sun's Bucks. And I think Devin Booker

299
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: is still gonna win finals MVP. I guess unless Jordan

300
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Poole somehow does it if the Warriors get there, which

301
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: was the dumb preseason pick. But uh, I mean, I

302
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: don't want a gloss over Booker because, like you said,

303
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: the defense that he's like, obviously he's gone to that level.

304
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: Lucas gonna want to have to do that at some point.

305
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: Like you know, Booker was always the one getting like,

306
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it gets you twenty five thirty, but gives

307
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: it all back on the other end. Now he's been

308
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: helped out because Bridges is generally going to get the

309
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: toughest assignment, but Booker has got he's gotten better at

310
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: that end. But then the thirty points leave five of eight.

311
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he just like he has those little waves

312
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: to where it's like Booker hits two threes, yeah, you know,

313
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: and it's just suddenly it's like there's six points just

314
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: like that, maybe another jumper eight points just like that.

315
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: He did it a couple times in this game, yeah,

316
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, and it's always it's like at the starts

317
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: of quarters or haves, it usually feels like and then

318
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Chris he sets it up and Chris Paul knocks him down.

319
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

320
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: And also he just gets that position sometimes whether the

321
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: defender's there or not, and he rises up and knocks

322
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: it down. He's just so confidence, like DeRozan, you know,

323
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 3: one of those guys who's worked on that mid range

324
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: where he's like, unless this is a super great defender,

325
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: I'm going to get my shot off if I want,

326
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: And he's just shooting the ball so well right now.

327
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: Remember he missed obviously a couple of games there in

328
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: the last series of the hamstring. He's looking like that's

329
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: completely healed now, there's no lingering effects there. And I

330
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: just think playing alongside Chris Paul offensively is obviously helpful.

331
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: But he's also understanding how to make sure you don't

332
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: get killed on the defensive end, how you do contribute

333
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: and put in. You don't have to be Kawhi Leonard

334
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: or Ben Wallace or anyone, but you just have to

335
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: sort of be quick, put your body in front of

336
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: your man and get your hands out and you know,

337
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: don't just be like a sieve down there. And he's

338
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 3: really worked hard to improve it. I think that just

339
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: comes as well, like with Monty Williams, and you see

340
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: that how defensive that mindset is, Like they can score easily,

341
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: but if they can't stop guys, then they becomes a weakness.

342
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: Right now, everyone who plays in when Cam Johnson comes

343
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: off the bench, it's like another long rangey switchable defender.

344
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: They've got all that Javal McGee. You know, he contributes

345
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: when he comes in defensively like this is very spursy

346
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: in the way that everyone who plays. You know, we've

347
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: talked about beyondbo this season when he comes out, he's

348
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: just last day exactly. It's like you just go out there,

349
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: you're going to four for four as well, it's like

350
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: run to the hoop, you'll get the ball and just

351
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: dunk it, throw it down and you'll be in and

352
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: you'll be out. But they do that and they all

353
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: play together, even Campaign. I don't think Campaign is a

354
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: terrible defender either. I think he understands you've got to

355
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: get out there and go after it. So this is

356
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: they're so deep and they're so well versed defensively, and

357
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: then they've just got killers on the offensive end.

358
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other notes from this one or should we

359
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: keep it moving? I guess to sort of like segue

360
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: to the sexer as you brought up McGee and Beyond.

361
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: But I kept thinking, like Jesus, I wish I bet

362
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: dark Roris wishes he had sort of like backup bigs

363
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: like that. And then I see that, I'm like, well,

364
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: are they only like that because they also play with

365
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Chris Paul And then you're helped out offensively on that

366
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: And I think it's a little bit of both, because

367
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: they've been great. Those guys didn't miss a shot last night.

368
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: McGee Biambo come in with Aton getting a foul trouble,

369
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: and they're you know, they combined for seven to seven

370
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: and do all the work they need to and play

371
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: great defense. Stuff like that. But let's go to the

372
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: to the second game, because we had Bam and Butler

373
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: leading the Heat past the seventy six ers one nineteen

374
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: one oh three in game two. Yeah, to ask you,

375
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: you were like wishing you were watching Survivor.

376
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to be wishing to watch Survivor.

377
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: But this is this is extremely unfortunate here. I think

378
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: we've got our first playoff series of the twenty twenty

379
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: two playoffs that doesn't feel like a playoff series at all, and.

380
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel at all.

381
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: Usually you get that in the first round. There's just

382
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: one yeah yuck, and that makes it that makes sense.

383
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: There's sixteen of thirty teams in the playoffs in the

384
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: first round, so one of those teams has got to

385
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: be a lot worse than the other teams. But it

386
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: didn't happen in the first round. It's happening, right, now. Unfortunately,

387
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: even the Heats opponent in the first round, the Hawks,

388
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: you know, they stole one and that felt more like

389
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: a playoff series than this. And you compare the Miami

390
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: Heat's home crowd to the other second round home crowds

391
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: that we've seen Boston, Phoenix and Memphis doesn't compare. I

392
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 2: think that's part of it, not to put it all

393
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: on the Miami crowd, because we have had one fan

394
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: in Miami, Splendid from Games one to Games two with

395
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: the dress. Yes, she's changed, switched it up on YouTube. Yeah,

396
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: we're going split screen. We'll put it on this, we'll

397
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: put it on social as well. Yeah, the jersey's sewn

398
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: all together, red away jerseys for game one, white for

399
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: Game two. I don't think she's gonna have to even

400
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 2: have a Game five outfit. But good thing. Good thing

401
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: about the Miami Heat is that they have a lot

402
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: of jersey options come back in the conference finals with

403
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: the you know, the Advice Vice jerseys. There's there's plenty

404
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: of options. Listen, in this game, Tyber's Maxie phenomenal, Tobias

405
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: Harris phenomenal. We can say embiid will come back and

406
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: make it a series. I don't want to do it again.

407
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: But James Harden, it has to be put on him.

408
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: It really has to be that he wasn't better. I

409
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: know there was some spry plays where there's a couple

410
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: you know, I as a fan, I'm sure six fans

411
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: as fans are looking at him waiting for a just

412
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: go buy your guy, just get to that room. And

413
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 2: he did a couple times. It's just not enough. If

414
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: Maxi is playing this way having a thirty four point game,

415
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: and Tobias Harris, who everybody rides, you know, day in

416
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: and day out, is playing this way. There's one guy

417
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: on the roster who they traded for three players and

418
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: he is not performing. He hit one shot after halftime,

419
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's the hamstring. I just I

420
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: just can't put it on that because he had that

421
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: five game stretch. As soon as he got traded to Philadelphia.

422
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid is instagramming, I can't believe my life. I'm

423
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 2: playing with this sky. He was pumped. And then I

424
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: think the Nets just killed James Harden when they destroyed

425
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: him on that March tenth day. I think the Nets,

426
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 2: without playing them in the playoffs, destroyed the Sixers playoff hopes.

427
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: Now if Joel Embid is there, of course it's different.

428
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: But the scary thing is, Joel Embiid probably isn't right

429
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: for Game three, even if he does come back. Hopefully

430
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: he does. But Chris Hans reported on Wednesday it was

431
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: that was the first day Wednesday, you know, the day

432
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: of Game two was the first day he was able

433
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: to use a cell phone because he's got light sensitivity

434
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: from the concussion. So that's scary. And I just don't

435
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: think Joel Embiid unfortunately the whole, the whole Pascal Siakam

436
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: end of Round one injury, very very unfortunate. But it's

437
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: just a lot to ask him now to bring this

438
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: team back. I hope it. I hope that lady in

439
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: the front row is getting another dress zone. I hope.

440
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: So I hope that is the case.

441
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 3: The second round fun Conference finals, yeah.

442
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: Yes, but I think this Garret semi finals, Yes, it

443
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: can be a semi finals and whatever these things are called.

444
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: The scary thing is, I know James Harden always gets

445
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: what he wants, got out of Houston, got out of Brooklyn,

446
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: and now is the front office of the Sixers looking

447
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: at this guy saying he's gonna want a contract extension

448
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: this offseason four for two to twenty three. Is he

449
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: gonna get what he wants? I hope Daryl Morey decides that.

450
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the evidence is on the floor. He's not

451
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 2: a max player right now.

452
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: He has a playeruption though as well, doesn't He said,

453
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: you can do both.

454
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

455
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: Dark Rivers doesn't sound very optimistic about the possibility of

456
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: and being returning for Game three. At least that's why.

457
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: That's where I was taking from Rivers post game. He's

458
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: got so many steps to go through, Rivers said, I

459
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: don't think he's cleared any of them right now. This

460
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: is Doc saying this, and this is really the only

461
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: question with this series at this point. Can be play

462
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: and then maybe they have a chance to win a

463
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: game or two because if he's not playing, I think

464
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: the heat of proven here. They're just head and shoulders.

465
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: Above this way, they just have another level that the

466
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 3: Sixers don't have. The Sixers need everyone to be perfect,

467
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: and funnily enough, James Harden last night and Rich Hoffman

468
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: had a good breakdown on The Athletic about him the

469
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: Sixers the heat no like okay, we haven't seen that

470
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: James Harden from the Rockers days, and we probably don't

471
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: see it anymore. But they're also like, let's not even

472
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: give that guy a chance. They're throwing two or three

473
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: guys at him. He's making the passes. Guys aren't hitting shot.

474
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Danny Green can hit a shot. Yeah, George

475
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Nyang turns out he was. He's not going to be

476
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: the savior.

477
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. That lineup is definitely the best lineup with them

478
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 2: out there. That's the only guy who I know, he

479
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: that's those are the only minutes that they want when

480
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: they're gone five out and he got he got in

481
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 2: foul trouble, he got fouled. That those are the only

482
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: minutes that they want because they are five out and

483
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: you have to cover those gays. I mean, he was

484
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: one of three from three. Yeah, it's unfortunate, but that's.

485
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: The thing is, Yeah, that one three, but other guys

486
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: had enough opportunities to get those looks from Harden's passing

487
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: and they could knock him down. Now, So that to

488
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 3: me is what Miami's plan is, Like, we don't even

489
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 3: want James Harden to feel like maybe he can get

490
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: that rhythm going again. I thought he actually, you know,

491
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: considering what we've seen of him, he was okay. But

492
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: he does he doesn't have that ability to just come

493
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: tearing down the quote dribble driuble, drubles three layoup, create

494
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 3: something for everyone, and just have that defense panicking anymore.

495
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 3: So that's the that's the biggest issue I think for

496
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 3: Philadelphia that he can't take it to that next level

497
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 3: right now.

498
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: Seventy six ers eight for thirty in Game two from distance,

499
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: and that means they're fourteen for sixty four from three

500
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: point range.

501
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: You know a percentage that is Lee twenty two. They're

502
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 4: shooting the Richie Beno, Wow, you Richie.

503
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: No, it's impossible.

504
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 4: He cannot win a game without him beat if they're

505
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: gonna make twenty two percent of their three. So the

506
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 4: Philadelphia twenty two urs the twenty twoers, Yeah, let's call

507
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 4: him that until they look like a real team. I mean,

508
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: Harden can't have back to back four point second half.

509
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 4: But I also don't like what's he supposed to do.

510
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 4: He's getting triple team with the ball. He's a dishing

511
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 4: it and Danny Green's one for ten for three. What

512
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: are you, honestly, what are you supposed to do.

513
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: He should be taking step backs. They are there, he

514
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: can step back, and he's missing too. He's one for

515
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: five of three. I mean, I know it's unfortunate Danny

516
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: Green game shooting, and.

517
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: What they need to do the six is he's put

518
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 3: someone in a Raptor's jersey at the end where Danny

519
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: Green shoot.

520
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, I know, hit six. Probably the aang too, exactly,

521
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: no problem knocking him down against the Raptors. Can't hit

522
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: a shot to save their life. Yeah, I don't really know.

523
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: Outside of embiid obviously coming back being the focal point,

524
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: everything goes through him. He gets to line, gets you

525
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: some easy baskets. He's also a monster defensively, they're taking

526
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: away things inside there. I just there's just no hope

527
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play, And I'm not saying he should,

528
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: like you gotta come back to well because I think

529
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: even if he returns, I'm still taking Mimami to win

530
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: the series. Team awesome. Yeah, yeah, but I mean to

531
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,719
Speaker 1: win a game. I guess they're not winning a game

532
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: without him unless unless Danny Green goes eight for nine

533
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: from three and Georgiana Eng goes six for seven and

534
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: like you hit twenty threes. That's like their only hope.

535
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: Hy tiers maxually looks great, look great, look great. Victor

536
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: Oladipo kind of looks like Victor Oladipo. They're coming off

537
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: the bench for the heat and Duncan Robinson doesn't need

538
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: to play with Victor Olidepo doing what he does. Yeah,

539
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: there's lots of guy is on the heat that look

540
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: very good to Miami's depth.

541
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: Lowry is not playing. They're not playing a guy that

542
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: makes ninety million dollars in Duncan Robinson, and they have

543
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: nine guys still playing in a second round, playing new

544
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: game like no problem. That's why it also feels, by

545
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: the way, like a regular season game because the heater

546
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: are just like ninety ten guys. Yeah that the casual

547
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: fan doesn't even know half of them, and kudos to

548
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: them because that's incredible. You said all the depot hero

549
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: had what eight team police got thirty five to me

550
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: because he was like just cooking them in the first half.

551
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean goes on and yeah, the thing is

552
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 3: when Lowry comes back, those ministrola deeper probably where they're going.

553
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: And you mentioned Duncan Romson. Remember Duncan Romson was maybe

554
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: won them that game against the Hawks, the first game

555
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: he went eight for nine. So like, if you're in

556
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: an exposter's doghouse, which is not really but he kind

557
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 3: of is. But if they feel they need him one day,

558
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: he'll come out and be expected to perform that. That's

559
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 3: the sort of way that he'd are. It's like, okay,

560
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: right now, there's not a really role for you, but

561
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean you you're done for good, so you

562
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: just have to be ready. And that's the thing that

563
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: he to have all the depot in that role where

564
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 3: he can just come out and it was a very

565
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: and he didn't get a lot of face, a lot

566
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: of tough defense out there all the deepot, so he

567
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: can get into a little bit of a rhythm like that.

568
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: But that's why that he got him, is like we

569
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: might need this guy as an insurance policy and he's

570
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: perfect for it. And when, as I say, when Larry

571
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: comes back all the depot, we'll understand he may only

572
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: get ten minutes that game, you know, because Larry obviously

573
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: is going to go straight back into the starting lineup.

574
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's got to play in Philadelphia too, so

575
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 2: hopefully will be back in his hometown.

576
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. We'll see what his status is for

577
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: game three. Maybe you just play it.

578
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

579
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: Do they do the thing where it's like no real

580
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: need to bring him back, especially if a b doesn't play,

581
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: It's like get him more time to rest. He's old too, sure,

582
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: and you know they have plans to obviously win this

583
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: whole thing. But Bam, you said it great, twenty three points.

584
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: He was a monster. I mean, Butler and Bam are

585
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: throwing alley oops to each other for a crand of

586
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: line like they're sort of clowning them at one point

587
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: twenty two and twelve. All the deeople in the nineteen

588
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: Hero eighteen, Yeah, everybody chipping in. They dominated in the paint.

589
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: They rebounded them a lot of second chance points obviously

590
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: because of that, and it was, uh, I mean, I'll

591
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: give the Sixers credit, especially Maxie, and you're right Towy's

592
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: Harris a little bit like it was a ten point game,

593
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: like they were sticking around. They were hanging around old

594
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: count and Crows. But it really feels like the heat

595
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: like all right, guys, like it's like maybe I'm sure

596
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: Hasluin or Lowry says something like all right, Tucker or whatever.

597
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Butler probably like, let's just play hard here for five

598
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: minutes and just end this damn thing. And they did

599
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: it again here and we'll see if they can continue

600
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: to do it in Philadelphia.

601
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, it's too bad. Yeah, round two here

602
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 2: to get a a dud where you'd be rather watching

603
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: a Survivor, you know, just post merge if that's what's happening,

604
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 2: it's it's not even Survivor. And what's up with the

605
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: Heat crowd? I know it's always fair with the Heat crowd, but.

606
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: There didn't see Dwayne and Gabrielle the last night looking great?

607
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw the Haslam gave Dwayne Wade his game.

608
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: Warn Shoese, that's how they looks looking good.

609
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I just want to push back on the on the

610
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: crowd because I tweeted last night, not a single second

611
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: of this six Ers Heat has felt like a playoff series. Yeah,

612
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I got a lot of pushback from

613
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: Heat fans, I think taking offense to it like it

614
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: was the It was me pointing out that the crowd,

615
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: so I actually wasn't. It was more just like what's

616
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: going on in the court because there's no embiid and

617
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: again like rotation wise, and it's just like the games

618
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: are they're just sort of lifeless. It just feels like

619
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: a January February basketball game. But the crowd, I think,

620
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're late arriving sure there in Miami, but

621
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: I think they're doing their part. When they're kicking ass.

622
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: It's maybe done, you're going a little.

623
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: It does not compare to Memphis or Phoenix or Boston.

624
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: You can hear those crowds coming through the speakers. You

625
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 2: can't hear this.

626
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't think in those arenas.

627
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: Now they should. They should pipe it in Miami. I'd

628
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: rather rather that it's it sucks us. Well, it just

629
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: sucks as a fan watching. Obviously they're they're steam rolling.

630
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: And the thing is, you know, it's the chicken or

631
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: the egg. Does the heat produce the crowds cheering or

632
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: does the cheer or is that you know, usually it's

633
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: the Heat crowd or sorry, hold on, let me or

634
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: the NBA crowd in games. In quarter three of Game one,

635
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: I think that the Heat's crowd was lifeless and PJ.

636
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: Tucker got them on their heat because he was getting

637
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: offensive rebound after offensive rebound got them alive. The Heat's

638
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: crowd doesn't really produce much energy for that team. It's

639
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: just it just doesn't getting ready for this week. Yeah, yeah,

640
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: they're there at the F one situation.

641
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: And one drivers in attendance last night. They didn't show

642
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: us on the broadcast.

643
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: They didn't show us on the broadcast. I saw that

644
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan met Pierre.

645
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: I saw.

646
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: On his elvet for some reason. U.

647
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, if you ever want to see a picture

648
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 4: of Michael jordan' wearing a racing helmet, you can find it.

649
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: Honestly, if you had showed me that photo, just Jordan

650
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: and Justice in a helmet, yeah, with just his eyes.

651
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know if I would have known

652
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: that was Michael Jordan.

653
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, saying because it like you know, smash yeah, face yeah,

654
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: everything I'm doing. I'm not doing more face moves.

655
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, any other any other notes here on on

656
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Philly Miami?

657
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: Unfortunately not it look it is Uh. It is a

658
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: tough watch because unfortunately for Philadelphia, I honestly don't think

659
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 3: they've got any chance. I didn't really think that without

660
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: beat with MBAT yes, but so you're going into it

661
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: and you're like, ah, yeah, I just hope Max you

662
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: can go for forty five and nine threes. But but

663
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like like it was still

664
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: even when it was that ten points, you never really

665
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: felt like, Okay, Philadelphia can really steamroll them here. It

666
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: just didn't feel like it doesn't there's no feel. No,

667
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: it's like we come home from from ball last night.

668
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: You want to turn, you want to you want to

669
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: get into it, you want to you know, and you're

670
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 3: sort of like, nah, put this stuff, put that stuff

671
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: up on time.

672
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: You're telling me you guys were working on your own

673
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: mixtape from pickup ball instead of really locking into us

674
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: to Philly Miami game too. Truth is yes, I mean

675
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: you expect.

676
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: Better crowd response.

677
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was a huge. It was a Jared

678
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: It was a Chris Dudley for sure. And speaking of

679
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: there is Bob Ryan, respectable writer, obviously a legend. Why

680
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: did you keep bringing up because yeah, he complained yesterday

681
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: that the game is all based on three point shots. Ah, yes,

682
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: look at Tyrese Maxie out there. He was eleven of

683
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: eighteen from two point land. Were you watching that?

684
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: No?

685
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I was watching Survivor. I wish I was

686
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: watching Survivor Tyres Maxie was great, and they's playing four

687
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: on three, like he's playing four on three.

688
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: He should be able to score.

689
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 4: Same with Tobias Harris. The guys are ball away from Harden.

690
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 4: He should be able to score.

691
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: But like they gotta they gotta find the mac the.

692
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: Mix right, Like you're getting seventy points from Maxi Harris Harden.

693
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: Harden has opportunities. He has opportunities to shoot. I know,

694
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: you guys keep saying that they're just taking the ball

695
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: out his hands. There's opportunities for him. It's a letter rip,

696
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: but I don't understand why he's not taking them.

697
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: You're not that guy, Pal, He's not that guy, Pa,

698
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: He's not.

699
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: I have my theory about the South Beach, you know,

700
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: Spinach being uh hardened. Things was proven wrong, isn't that?

701
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: Every city he goes to, there's like strippers and you know,

702
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: temptations there for him that seemed to beginning in trouble

703
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: and you've been OK, yes, you've been in a strip club.

704
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: What's a coyote?

705
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: Ugly? I saw tumbleweed? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, legit.

706
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: He was only like two years you know what we're

707
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: talking about Yeah.

708
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: Well that's why guy guy history not on Philly's side though,

709
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: all right, you may not like this, Philly fans. Miami

710
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: has taken a two lead in eighteen previous series, including

711
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: the first round this season against Atlanta, and they've won

712
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: every match up every single time. Anytime they're up to

713
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: zero seventy six ers. Franchise has dropped the first two

714
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: games of a matchup on nineteen other occasions, and they've

715
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: never recovered to win a series. That's a surprising.

716
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they've blended to go to late died themselves.

717
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: Who's this Philadelphia than to the Celtics back in the days?

718
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: Okay think so?

719
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so we'll see. I mean, Embiid has to

720
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: come back, throw the mask on and get to work,

721
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: because I don't think Hardon is going.

722
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: To do it.

723
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 3: Is deer probably is he going to start him again?

724
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: In three?

725
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: Honestly, I know, I know it does like Jordan wasn't

726
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: the reason the no I know.

727
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,239
Speaker 3: I know, But I'm saying, while Paul Reid does get

728
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: him foul trouble, I think you might as well start

729
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: him at least.

730
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: And just say that gives them a replayed a lot

731
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: more disciplined last night. It was Yang picking up all

732
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: the fouls.

733
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, you might as well stop four if

734
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: you're going to go with Jordan.

735
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: I No, I do think doctor rivers lack of creativity

736
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: is a bit of an issue here.

737
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

738
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paul Reid played twenty five minutes and the only

739
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: like that's half the game, and they only lost those

740
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: minutes by two points. Yeah, it was a lot closer.

741
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: They won the Georgian minutes. If those two are your

742
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: centers for the entire game, I think there's a legitimate shot.

743
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: He went to a cork mass too. Yeah, to he

744
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: didn't get some scoring boost, there's at least at least.

745
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: It all right, Yeah, I could use a shake for sure.

746
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: I would love seeing shake.

747
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's take a break and get some shakes.

770
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 4: That's all you need to do.

771
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 2: I shook it. It's going down.

772
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: It seems to be enjoying it enough, don't it?

773
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: All right?

774
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: Guys, guys, listen to this Ben Simmons under good.

775
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: Sorry you said under you were under that? Yeah? I

776
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: know over there.

777
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons will undergo back surgery today. The Brooklyn Nets

778
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: announced this Wednesday. This is from the Nets themselves. Okay,

779
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: twenty five year old received an epidural shot for a

780
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: herniated disk in his back in mid March. He dealt

781
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: with back issues since February twenty twenty, when he missed

782
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: time due to a nerve impingement, and this procedure that

783
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: he's undergoing today, by all accounts, expected to sideline him

784
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: for three to four months. So I guess the question

785
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: off of this task a bit of a weird angle maybe,

786
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: But do do we the collective we, NBA, media, Twitter, whatever,

787
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: fans oh Ben Simmons of an apology because obviously a

788
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: lot of jokes have been made at his expense, a

789
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: lot of questioning whether he was even heard, and blah

790
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: blah blah and all that. What's really going on? What

791
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: do you think?

792
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 2: I was definitely questioning myself, should I should I apologize?

793
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: Should we feel bad? I do think what was happening

794
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: was they were telling us Ben Simmons was coming back

795
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets as a team, where he's coming back

796
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: Game one, maybe game two, maybe game three, game maybe game.

797
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: Cleared to playing game four if I remember correctly.

798
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, And as you said, the game four was on

799
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: a Monday, and I remember you were mad that they

800
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: declared him ready for Game four and then two days

801
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 2: before Game four, not even the day before, not even

802
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: not even a game time decision. They said, you know,

803
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 2: they were tracking that's he's out. So that was odd

804
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: that they didn't do it on the Sunday or the Monday.

805
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 2: So we were discussing the merits of him coming back

806
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: and whether he should come back in a playoff series,

807
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: in the middle of a playoff series, even a playoff

808
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: series where they're struggling, So that was fair. But I

809
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: think while doing that, we forgot that he did have

810
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 2: a hurt back, and we forgot that he had an

811
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 2: epidural only weeks before. So because we're sort of in

812
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: the moment, even myself, I was just thinking about him,

813
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: you know, being on the floor and blending in and

814
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: forgetting about the back injury, and we questioned whether or

815
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: not he had a back injury, right, I mean, that

816
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 2: did come up obviously.

817
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: Because there are mentoral lapses that he's and issues that

818
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: he's been struggling with for a while, and that's been

819
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 1: made clear too. So there's two things here, really, and

820
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: they might be.

821
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: Connected, right, yes, that was obviously the report as well,

822
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: that they one was triggering the other, and going back

823
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty, he had back issues then that prevented

824
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: him from playing in the bubble, whereas Joel Embiid was

825
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: playing solo. So that is the bad sign here for

826
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: the Nets apology. I don't think so. I'm not going

827
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: that far, but I think we were. We were probably

828
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: just in the moment and thinking about his back and

829
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 2: not thinking about everything else, because it seemed like he

830
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: had overcome the mental issues to a point where he

831
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 2: was going to be on the floor, and.

832
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: There was reports that he had been like, you know,

833
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: a week plus of pain free and that's why he

834
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: was getting ready to go. And Thattols, I mean, why

835
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: were we hearing that is the weird part, you know,

836
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: from people that's super plugged in from his camp, from

837
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: the Nets and all of this. Well, what do you think?

838
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: The same question to you, because we've obviously had some

839
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: things to say about Ben Simmons.

840
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 3: We think, yeah, well, it's been such a crazy season.

841
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: We've heard conflicting information and news and reports and seen

842
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 3: him and he said he wants to play and all this,

843
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 3: and then he's sort of said, well, now my backsaw

844
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: and he said he was keeping himself in shape and

845
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: keeping himself ready. So I don't feel guilty for being

846
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 3: skeptical of some concern of the injuries. But if the

847
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 3: guy is having back surgery, now, I mean, no one's

848
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: going to go that far just to you know, just

849
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 3: to say to people, see, I had a back problem,

850
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So I just hope he

851
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 3: can get himself healthy mentally and physically and he can

852
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 3: get out on the court again, because he's now missed

853
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 3: and entire he's missed two seasons of his career so

854
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: far because of injury, missed his first season as a rookie,

855
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 3: and now he's missed another one for you know, mental

856
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: health issues and somewhat physical but more mental. So he's

857
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: a young man in the prime of his life doing

858
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: what he loves, but he's not able.

859
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 4: To do it.

860
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 3: So hopefully this can at least get him on the

861
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: court again and get him playing, because it must be

862
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: awful for him to be in this situation, to deal

863
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: first of all with what happened last season, and now

864
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 3: he has a physical ailment that he has to correct.

865
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, again, I don't feel an apologies. No,

866
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: I didn't say, hey, you're just sitting home doing nothing.

867
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 3: I just think that he had to get things taken

868
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 3: care of and he wasn't doing a great job of

869
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: that when he had the ability to go out and play.

870
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 4: Definitely, it feels like we just never had the complete information,

871
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 4: especially with the way that the very end of the

872
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: season went down where it seemed like he's coming back

873
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 4: for a game four and then suddenly he's not coming

874
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 4: back for a game four. But I guess that's just

875
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 4: something to remember for the future, is that when they

876
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: tell us something's happening, we might not know everything about it.

877
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: But I also do think it's a little strange that

878
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 4: if he had a herniated disk and they were talking

879
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 4: about a back injury so many different times, maybe that

880
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 4: would have come out. Obviously it didn't in the sixers,

881
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 4: and the nets don't really have to give us the

882
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 4: specifics of stuff.

883
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

884
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 4: Hopefully things go well for him, it's got a long

885
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 4: recovery period. Every article you see mentions is the fact

886
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 4: that Michael Porter Junior had a similar procedure back when

887
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: he was still in college that went okay, but it

888
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 4: was a red flag for the draft dropped him a

889
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 4: little further down, and as we saw this season, he

890
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 4: had a reoccurring back problem that had to have surgery again,

891
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 4: which kept him out for the majority of the season.

892
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: So I don't know. Hopefully Simmons is able to get

893
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 4: back on the court and actually be playing, and then

894
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 4: hopefully he doesn't run into any more problems further down

895
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 4: the line having to have back surgery as a young man.

896
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: I know this sounds silly because it is back surgery,

897
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: but it's a fairly like minor procedure. This type of

898
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: work at least like you know, my web empty sort

899
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: of skills, like digging into this type of thing last night.

900
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: So that's good. I mean, like this is not really

901
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: really intense, and they generally like work out, okay, can

902
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: alleviate some pain and then he should be back at

903
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: the start next season. Your fingers crossed. He's got three years,

904
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen million dollars left on this deal here,

905
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: and we think in theory that he would pair nicely,

906
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: of course with Katie and Kyrie there in Brooklyn. Havn't

907
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 1: been traded there to give them a little defense identity.

908
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: This guy's like a multiple time All Star and All

909
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: defensive guy, one of the elite guys at his positioned defensively,

910
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully he gets hopefully this again takes care of

911
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: some of the pain and maybe unlocks both physically and mentally,

912
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: and then he can get out there come October. God,

913
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: he's playing at the start of the next season, is

914
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: what I'm getting at three or four months should be

915
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: the window should be there.

916
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 2: Yea recurring back injury is obviously a huge worry. And

917
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: the epidural you know, looking back in mid March, was

918
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: for a herniated disk, but it wasn't entirely laid out

919
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 2: for us, right, it wasn't entirely clear, and yeah, big

920
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: stuff under raps, as they should. But the worrisome part is, yeah,

921
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 2: two years apart back issues, and yeah, it was all

922
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: enveloped in a mental struggle that we haven't seen you

923
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: come out. Clearly, it was something that was unprecedented in

924
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: NBA circles in terms of its transparency, and so we were,

925
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: you know, as media members, concentrating on that and then

926
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: the back issue sort of snuck in and and there

927
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: was skepticism as to whether this injury was real from

928
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: media members. That's that's totally entirely true, and people got

929
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 2: lost in that because of the unprecedented nature, I think.

930
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: But they did come out and say that there was

931
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: a back issue. But I wonder when it sprung up,

932
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: you know, through because he hasn't played for an entire

933
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: year here. I guess it did come when he hit

934
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 2: the floor with the nets.

935
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: Seemed to happen when he was we saw some workout

936
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 3: footage and then it came from that.

937
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: Let's not forget he was traded. Yeah, so you know

938
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: you would think both tea. I know, it's weird because

939
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: they sort of want to get off hearted and they

940
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: all sixers want to get off Simmons that you know,

941
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: you got to go through physicals and like, okay, you're

942
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: not giving us like damaged goods here. So maybe it's

943
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: feeling better at that point and it's a back injury,

944
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: Like can you can it flare up and you feel

945
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: brutal for a week. I'm sure it can, and then

946
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: it feels a little bit better and maybe you're getting

947
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: ready to go. I'm sure that's the case too. But yep,

948
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: let's just hope he gets back. Okay, let's look ahead

949
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: to the NBA playoff Weekend Heat Sixers, Sun's MAVs play

950
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: games three and four on Friday and Sunday.

951
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 2: There are no games on tonight.

952
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,959
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a it's a little odd. Three days Grace

953
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: is playing in Milwaukee tonight.

954
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: Three days Grace. It's Hogfest. Somebody told me Hogfest to

955
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 4: fact check them, but I believe them. I mean summer

956
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: Fest in Milwaukee. Great time, Yeah, great time. Saw the

957
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 4: darkness therely, Oh, Milwaukee wasn't Hogfest, was it? That's what Summerfest.

958
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 2: I didn't.

959
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 4: I didn't even know there was a hot I don't

960
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 4: even know if there is, but Matt, it sounds like something.

961
00:42:59,320 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: They would have.

962
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 4: Bacon just everywhere, deep fried bacon, bacon wrap, bacon, bacon,

963
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 4: bacon ice cream, bacon ice bacon ice creamnuts. Wow, come

964
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 4: down to Hogfast.

965
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: We got it all. Uh you've been you've been to

966
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: Milwaukee then? Yeah, good time.

967
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 4: Milwaukee's really fun. Underrated city yeah, okay, cream city. Yeah.

968
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: Home of the cum Dragon, Celtics, Bucks, Grizzlies, Warriors. They

969
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: play games three on Saturday, so again heats Sixer Sons

970
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 1: MAVs they play on Friday. Those are the next playoff

971
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: games we're gonna get. Then we get Celtics Bucks, Grizzlies Warriors,

972
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: those two series tied up one games apiece, games three

973
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I think it's like a three thirty and

974
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: maybe like an eight o'clock start, and then uh, then

975
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: we get the game fours from those other series from

976
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: last night on Sunday. What game are the most excited

977
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: for us? What I'm getting out here.

978
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 3: Just looking at this, Man, we could have two series

979
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 3: over by Sunday, which so I am looking forward to.

980
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 3: I the you know, either one of those other two games,

981
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 3: because I still don't really know which team is going

982
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 3: to walk.

983
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: Away with it.

984
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 3: I mean, but I think the Warriors probably have still

985
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 3: the advantage over the Grizzly is the experience factor. But man,

986
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,359
Speaker 3: seeing jar Moran the other night doing what he's doing,

987
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 3: it's hard to not pull for him and love to

988
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 3: see him just take that next step. So I would

989
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 3: I would love the Grizzlies at worse to get a

990
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 3: split in their in their two road games in Golden

991
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 3: State and then Milwaukee Boston. This is a fascinating This

992
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: is what a series should be.

993
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: Real Hargfast, it is. They both whacked each other.

994
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: In the first two games, and they're going to Milwaukee,

995
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 3: they've got the best player there at home. They really,

996
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 3: you know, shot the ball badly in game two. You

997
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 3: expect a huge response from them in game three, and

998
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 3: I hope we get that. I hope this series does

999
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 3: just keep laying blows on each other for these two

1000
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: teams because we need it, because those other two series,

1001
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 3: even if they're not sweeps, probably five games, you know,

1002
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 3: is where you're looking at that.

1003
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: It's feeling four or five ish with heat, Yes, yes, yes,

1004
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: whereas it's a big part.

1005
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: If we can get six or seven out of the

1006
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 3: other two, I think they could be really good games too.

1007
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,479
Speaker 1: So okay, interesting, Well, well if that's the case, there's

1008
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: no way the league would like split them off like well,

1009
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: like like Lee saying, if these one if these because

1010
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: we have it right now it's basically two games on

1011
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: one night, then two games on the next night. But

1012
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: if the two games that are on the same night

1013
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: Heat six or Suns MAVs, they're like done in four

1014
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: and these other ones are going long, would they like

1015
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: split them? You know, like, okay, now we'll just go

1016
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: every other night, or they just probably they'll probably because

1017
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: you know with Scheduarl Fast and making fests and stuff

1018
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: like that.

1019
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 3: It's already said it's sad.

1020
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be weird, is what I'm getting. Anyway, which

1021
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: game are you most excited for?

1022
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: What happened to this MAVs defense? What happened to it?

1023
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: That's the only way the league got me a little

1024
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 2: bit depressed. Heat six ers.

1025
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anyhow we got your thoughts on

1026
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: that one.

1027
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, now we're thinking MAVs Sons. Now, I'm thinking

1028
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: mas Sons is the third of the fourth series to

1029
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: have a little bit of life, right, MAVs defense has

1030
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: to be better on on the guards, but they just

1031
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: come at you. Maybe they get off to a better

1032
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 2: start because both games in Phoenix, Yeah, Phoenix came out

1033
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 2: hot hot, hot hot, and the MAVs struggled. So it's

1034
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: got to be the start of a game, just like

1035
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 2: what Boston did in Game two against the Bucks. They

1036
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: were able to punch first and we're able to keep

1037
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: the lead the entire game. So I just I know

1038
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: that's going to be a series. Grizzlies Warriors looks fantastic.

1039
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: Hoping for the MAVs to fight back in game three.

1040
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: And Trey of all these, of all the you know

1041
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: the Friday night games, that's Saturday digame. There's a big

1042
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: birthday party going.

1043
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1044
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: I will have to hope my buddy Grish has the game.

1045
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: On why because after the first five minutes he'll tell

1046
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 3: you the result of.

1047
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: That's Celtics buckshows a big We'll get it on the

1048
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: big screen, don't you worry? Yeah?

1049
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 4: Try What do you think which game I'm most excited?

1050
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1051
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 4: I mean there's only two games to be excited for.

1052
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 4: I think, and these guys nailed that. Warriors Grizzly Celtics Bucks.

1053
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 4: Those are great series that we've got going on right now.

1054
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 4: And it's interesting to see what the Warriors are going

1055
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 4: to do. Ja Morant, No Gary Payton the second. The

1056
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 4: second they're not going to bring in Gary Payton either.

1057
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 4: They're not gonna let him play. He's retired him and

1058
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 4: see what he can do. Because the the Warriors could

1059
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 4: use any answer for John Morant right now. But I

1060
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 4: also assume this to me feels a little bit like

1061
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 4: Bowls versus Bucks. Bucks played pretty well or the Bulls

1062
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 4: played pretty well in Nam?

1063
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 2: Can I ask?

1064
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you've been coughing. You have a deep

1065
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: cough to you.

1066
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 4: Okay, I've got a Flemy man, call me Flemy killmeister.

1067
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 4: I'm playing at Hogfest next summer.

1068
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: Yah yeah.

1069
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 4: Unfortunately they have all these other sicknesses still, even though

1070
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 4: COVID is around. So yeah, actually today I think it's

1071
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 4: my last day of coughee.

1072
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so actually maybe tomorrow because we've got about I

1073
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know, it feels like twenty straight shows with a

1074
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: couple of deep offs from Kurry.

1075
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's the it's the cough dragon, the cough

1076
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 4: dragons out.

1077
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: What's that? But vanity license plate looked like.

1078
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 4: I think it's fine c fd RGN.

1079
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: Somebody gets on Twitter handle, somebody squat on it. All right,

1080
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: let me ask you another question then, because you're right,

1081
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: it's only those.

1082
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 4: Twos you want me to talk about. You want me

1083
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 4: to talk about heat sixers.

1084
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, we've done that.

1085
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 4: I want to know about Bob Bryan.

1086
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: No, no, we've done that. Definitely, enough about Shakes Survivor.

1087
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: We'll talk about a lot more on No Buffs later today.

1088
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

1089
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: I want to know biggest surprise on the second round

1090
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: so far. That's my cue to you.

1091
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: What do you got this is my cue, my a.

1092
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 2: We're trying to you.

1093
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 4: Sorry, man, he's for a loop.

1094
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: It threw me for a loop.

1095
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 4: The way the Celtics have had success guarding Janis Onto

1096
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 4: Takupo has been actually surprising. He still won the game

1097
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 4: for Milwaukee in Game one by doing everything else, by

1098
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 4: being a setup man.

1099
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 3: You know.

1100
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 4: He had a triple double, twelve assists, seven of them

1101
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 4: went for threes. But Jannis is shooting thirty eight point

1102
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 4: five percent through two games here. That's a pretty low

1103
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 4: percentage for Giannis Onto Takoombo. He's a shack like scorer inside.

1104
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting to see how the Bucks actually

1105
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 4: get him as a score, get him going as a

1106
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 4: score in Milwaukee, I think will be very interesting to see.

1107
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 4: I assume a little bit more pick and roll, which

1108
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 4: will be good for Drew Holliday as well. Haven't heard

1109
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 4: any sort of news on Chris Middleton, so I'm not

1110
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 4: expecting that. So you need to see some big time

1111
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 4: scoring games from Giannis, and I think it's certainly possible.

1112
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 4: I think the a little bit of time off will

1113
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 4: give the Bucks a chance to figure out ways to

1114
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 4: get him playing downhill in a half court scenario as

1115
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 4: well as in in transition scenario.

1116
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a surprise that series is one to one,

1117
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: but definitely surprised that Al Horford and Grant Williams are

1118
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: like doing the best job we've seen in a long

1119
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: time in sort of walking up Jannis for making it difficult.

1120
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 3: I mean, talk about out guys. Al Holfitt has been

1121
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 3: incredible in the playoffs. It was really good against Brooklyn

1122
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 3: and he has been outstanding again in this series. He's

1123
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 3: having a sort of Chris Paw like defensive impact on games, you.

1124
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: Know, but now he's back it up.

1125
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: He's on honest and Grant William's getting a lot of

1126
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 1: like the pub and like it's like yeah, and it's

1127
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: like barrels into him and Grant doesn't move brick house,

1128
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: but like the numbers when Horford's been on him crazy in.

1129
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 3: Terms and you know, I think this was a motivational factor.

1130
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 3: But remember Bruce Brown beforehand said we're going to go

1131
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 3: with our Horford and then in game one hour was

1132
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 3: a bit jack dust spray. But you just know, I mean,

1133
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 3: you know, he's one of the most reliable guys under

1134
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 3: the raidar. We've talked about a lot that you know,

1135
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 3: he leaves a four time All Star because he doesn't

1136
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 3: get that appreciation that he deserves. Defensively is great. And

1137
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 3: now he's sitting those threes too, so he's he's been really,

1138
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 3: really good.

1139
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: What about you task for a bigger surprise second round?

1140
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: Anything else?

1141
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 2: I think it's gotta be Gnis. Yeah. The thirty eight

1142
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: percent of forty one percent from two point land, hitting

1143
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: four out of ten shots, this guy is. Yeah, I

1144
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 2: was very surprising. So to see Horford doing it on

1145
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 2: both ends, it is a little surprising. Is where he

1146
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 2: came from last year because of what happened with the Sixers,

1147
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 2: but he has been doing this for a long time.

1148
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 2: He's he's a pretty decent Yeah, nis stopper, and the

1149
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 2: Celtics defense came alive in Game two. That was wonderful

1150
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: to see. So there's that, and obviously Warriors Grizzlies in

1151
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 2: what happens with yeah, the Ja Moran defense and if

1152
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: they continue to play jaw the same way, let him

1153
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 2: rip from three point land as he's shooting thirty nine percent,

1154
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 2: hit four and five in these two games and.

1155
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: Taking a lot of them too, in a good way.

1156
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: And he's not afraid to be like, you're gonna give

1157
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: me space, I'm gonna step into these and I can

1158
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: hit them.

1159
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 3: I think he's nine to twenty three yeap, which is

1160
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 3: not terrible by any mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good, Yeah.

1161
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: I mean so you have to keep I mean, it's

1162
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: him too, like we talked about, like he's a running back.

1163
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: He can get to the rim. Oh yeah, So if

1164
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: you seg off that much, you have to step into

1165
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: it again. You at least just got to show them

1166
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: that they got to think twice about that game. Yeah,

1167
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: I think for me too, just talking about that series,

1168
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: surprising Klay Thompson has just not been unlocked in terms

1169
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: of shooting the ball, and every shot looks like it's

1170
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: getting sped up even faster and faster, and you can

1171
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: tell the frustration I think with him. I think he's

1172
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: going to have one of these big you know, he

1173
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: hit the timely win in game one, don't get me wrong,

1174
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: and then at the great defensive sort of stand at

1175
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: the end, but like he'll be unlocked here in one

1176
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: of these games.

1177
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 2: It's clay.

1178
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: You can only keep him down for so long until

1179
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: he's splashing six seven eighty threes.

1180
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 3: Just to wait till Game six Clays anyway, I can't

1181
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 3: believe you missed two free throws.

1182
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Steph Curry missing free throws and Clay missing

1183
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: free throws. It's been very weird here in the playoffs.

1184
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: All right, what's a fun question for everybody out there

1185
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: in the stream? Team biggest surprise so far from the

1186
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: second round? Let us know in the comments section. We'll

1187
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: take our final break, but don't go anywhere. We have

1188
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: a very very uh I guess unique tweeted the night

1189
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: and then a little Top five fun off of it.

1190
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,760
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, all right, back with the boys.

1191
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 1: I love multitasking. Just paid my gas bill.

1192
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,439
Speaker 2: Don't got that on an auto pay?

1193
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: No, I have to see what I'm paying fast. Yes,

1194
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: be wary of the auto pay trivia question? Would I

1195
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: pay for? What was my gas bill this year? This month?

1196
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: Excuse me?

1197
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,160

1211
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 4: check this out on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, maybe TikTok. Who

1212

Speaker 4: But if you're joining us live on YouTube right now,

1214
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 4: you're in for a treat because yesterday Skeets and JD

1215
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 4: and I put together a fun little video. So take

1216
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 4: a look.

1217
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: Ski.

1218
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,840
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I dreamt that my superpower

1219
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: one day would be the ability to hit seven out

1220
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: of ten shots seventy. You know, I could have went

1221
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:07,959
Speaker 1: with the ten out of ten perfect, but it didn't

1222
00:54:07,960 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: seem reasonable. Today I become super Skeets. Yeah, a couple

1223
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: of clankers in there couldn't hit that fade away.

1224
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: Tell you that the fade away.

1225
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 4: Was a tough one. The fadeaway is a tough one.

1226
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 4: I'll give you mad props for the half court shot.

1227
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 4: Did you you didn't take very many attempts on that one.

1228
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 4: I think that was my third time, I think so. Yeah,

1229
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 4: And you hit the pose afterwards. You weren't posing the

1230
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 4: first two. I think you knew the third one was

1231
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 4: going down. That was nice, That's true.

1232
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: Not easy to shoot in the weird kid's mask either.

1233
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: It turns out the cave not too bad, but the

1234
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: mask limiting my vision. Yeah, it's reasoning. At least we've

1235
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: shot a lot of dumb things. That's up there on

1236
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: the list.

1237
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a little thankful that there was nobody

1238
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 4: else around us.

1239
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 3: Two.

1240
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 4: You know, nearly forty year old men were.

1241
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: Hot yesterday too.

1242
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 2: We were out there.

1243
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: We shot that very quickly, seven minute take that long.

1244
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 1: Thankfully I'm not too bad, but uh, I was drenched

1245
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: and sweating. It was so hot. Hard get on the

1246
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: black top and yeah, it was there. It is so realistic.

1247
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 3: Yeah you want, Yeah, I'm for forty five percent. That'll

1248
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 3: get you in the NBA.

1249
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: I had.

1250
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 1: I had people tweeting at me though, this this crazy

1251
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: childhood dream, my superpower of again hitting seventy percent of

1252
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: all shots I ever took, because that would be enough

1253
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: in my in my mind to get to the NBA,

1254
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: but not not make people suspicious. Well it was this

1255
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: boy wonder he never misses a shot? What's going on here?

1256
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: People were agreeing that they had had basically the exact

1257
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: same dreams, like the idea of like what a superpower

1258
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: as a kid? Never miss a shot? But wait, I

1259
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: have to miss some shot. Yeah, yeah, so I wasn't alone.

1260
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: Oh good to know even though you were yeah, mocking me.

1261
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 3: Well you would. You would be the old time leader

1262
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 3: in the fiucal pesent de Andre Georgian school.

1263
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: That would be a superstar. I would be maybe the

1264
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: greatest ever.

1265
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 3: Still, I probably would be well, what would you give

1266
00:56:58,320 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 3: back on the defensive end?

1267
00:56:59,160 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 2: There?

1268
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the way it was a little bit.

1269
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: You gotta hide meet, That's right.

1270
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 3: You'd be like Isaiah tom you know, like five ten,

1271
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 3: what are you? Five ten? Five eleven?

1272
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 2: Thank you?

1273
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 3: I think teams would probably hunt you a little bit too.

1274
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: That's say, Look, you've played the basketball with me. I'm

1275
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: not a you know, you're not exploding of I'm not.

1276
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm not.

1277
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, if you're the NBA, I mean, guys

1278
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 3: are probably running pop we'll Yeah.

1279
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: But I'm giving you I'm hitting seven out of shot,

1280
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know.

1281
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 4: I think the weird thing would be that you are

1282
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 4: a seventy percent shooter from the field, Like you only

1283
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 4: shoot seventy percent of the line.

1284
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's some people. Would they go to hack a hack.

1285
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they're like, we can't let them get a three.

1286
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can live with seventy percent, you can number exactly. Yeah.

1287
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. But you know, I got home from filming this

1288
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 4: yesterday and I told Laura the entire premise of it

1289
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 4: and everything, and she was the same way. She's like,

1290
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 4: seventy percent. Yeah, it's a little underwhelming.

1291
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: No, this is perfect.

1292
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 4: Well, I say it's over underwhelming because it brings us

1293
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 4: to today's Top five tom By Top five, Top five,

1294
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 4: tom By Top Fine, Top five. The idea of dreaming

1295
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 4: to shoot seventy percent very funny to me.

1296
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: Last one guy, last one, well in fun because he's

1297
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 3: flaming nice.

1298
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: That's good.

1299
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: I got it.

1300
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: Pacers.

1301
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, these are your top five underwhelming basketball superpower superpowers

1302
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 4: that I think are like kind of along the same

1303
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 4: lines of shooting seventy percent. Right, you guys tell me

1304
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 4: if you would like to have these number five you

1305
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 4: throw one hundred mile per hour passes basketball? Yeah, Oh,

1306
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 4: it'd be great for inbounds, like a long chuck. You

1307
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 4: would be guaranteed to be the guy they call like,

1308
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 4: all right, we got one point two seconds left? Can

1309
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 4: you throw it down to Christian Latner?

1310
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, prettybody catch it. I don't know.

1311
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's a good because it's just

1312
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 2: a one skill. You could be on the end of

1313
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 2: the bench and they'd call you in. You can catch

1314
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: a hundred miles per hour for a long bomb. But

1315
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, going down court with you're playing on the floor.

1316
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: It though, that's the one thing.

1317
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I assume it's a good point. You're not playing

1318
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 2: in a half court, but you come in you're a

1319
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: long snapper.

1320
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 3: That's cool, I think though everyone would say, why isn't

1321
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 3: that guy playing football or baseball?

1322
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in the wrong sport.

1323
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 3: You can't shoot, you can't do on the court, but man,

1324
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 3: you got to rock it on.

1325
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 4: It right, Pat McAfee, Pat Matt Samara, there's my coach

1326
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 4: number four. You have a magnetic butt.

1327
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: Excuse me?

1328
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: Go on?

1329
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 4: Your ass is magnetic to people?

1330
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 3: Like so.

1331
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 4: Stinky? Stinky is maybe another. But it'd be good for

1332
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 4: boxing out, posting up and setting screens. So like, if

1333
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 4: I make contact with you.

1334
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: Oh, you're not getting away, Like I'm walking you.

1335
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 4: Down kind of like pinning you wherever you are.

1336
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how magnets work really, but so

1337
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: really everybody else in a weird way has a magnetic

1338
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: butt too.

1339
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bit of like a.

1340
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 2: Like a magical magnet. Okay, you know, yeah everybody no

1341
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: metal involved.

1342
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, you're basically getting at you set a

1343
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: great screen because the person gets like hung up on

1344
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: you really totally and boxing out. You know, I don't

1345
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: even I could almost box out like a foot from you,

1346
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, then you're moved over. So you've got the

1347
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: guy on your ass. Make that decision.

1348
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 3: But but you probably lead the league in screen assists

1349
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 3: and uh, you.

1350
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Know, let me drink my milk to that. Yeah, it'd

1351
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: be a little uncomfortable though.

1352
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think you to be able

1353
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 2: to box out a guy off you though, Like if

1354
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 2: you're sticking your button you want to get a couple

1355
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 2: of inches of space, that could be a problem. What

1356
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 2: you want. You don't want a north south magnet connection

1357
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 2: every single time.

1358
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm out.

1359
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 4: All right, number three, that's a pretty good one.

1360
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: You're eight feet tall, that's it. Now here we go,

1361
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Here we go instantly.

1362
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 4: The tallest player ever, yep, probably the slowest player ever.

1363
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a real double edged sword. Yeah, you could

1364
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 4: be Yoming or you could be pre Slaughterdale.

1365
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't mind it though. Yeah

1366
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: you got the rest of life too.

1367
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's the thing, like just the travel bosses

1368
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 3: and you know, and when you're in a supermarket.

1369
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, if you're eight feet tall, wouldn't the

1370
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: bus be the perfect spot, like the perfect mode of

1371
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: transportation for that.

1372
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 3: I would need a tighter made one for you everywhere

1373
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 3: you go.

1374
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think that. Take got a

1375
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: bunch of seats.

1376
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 3: You going to Indiana and they're like, we don't have

1377
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 3: a night foot us. So we didn't have a night

1378
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 3: foot bus made for you. You know.

1379
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: But if the other thing is I can keep going,

1380
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you're a Supery're never worried about Yeah.

1381
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean remember that time trying to get

1382
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 3: into the suv and he couldn't yet to sort of

1383
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 3: go in the back there.

1384
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: So that's I'm thinking of a school bus or charter bus.

1385
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that this will like it was before his time

1386
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 2: right now, in the Twitter era, he would be making

1387
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 2: billions being an influencer, have a custom bust driving.

1388
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Okay, but back to the basketball part.

1389
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 2: I guess.

1390
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, new superpower is that your your your your normal

1391
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 4: height until you step foot on the court and you're.

1392
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

1393
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: But you're not telling me whether I have my skills

1394
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: as a five.

1395
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 4: You play like your eight feet tall, So like probably slow,

1396
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 4: You're gonna be a great shop blocker. You're gonna grab

1397
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 4: a board if it comes to you.

1398
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I like that.

1399
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean when I step on the court, I turned

1400
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: into a tall man. Eight Come in on that one.

1401
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 4: That one's all right, Yeah, I think this one's done.

1402
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Number two.

1403
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 4: You can teleport anywhere on the court, but you have

1404
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 4: to be two feet away. Like it's only a two

1405
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 4: foot teleport anywhere. Yeah, ok yeah, so like I could,

1406
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 4: I could be sitting here skeets and then suddenly I'm

1407
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 4: sitting in your chair. It's a little more than two feet,

1408
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 4: but close enough. I think it'd be good for closeouts,

1409
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 4: probably good for like getting around screens, would help you defensively.

1410
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 4: But you're probably gonna get called for travels. It's just

1411
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 4: gonna look too weird.

1412
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Oh I'm gonna call for travel teleport around.

1413
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 3: The bull then as well, because what I was thinking

1414
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 3: is you post up and you have your point. Guy,

1415
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 3: come in and your point. I'm going to be here.

1416
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 3: Then you teleport the other side. He knows that he

1417
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 3: passed the ball and you got a bucket.

1418
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah that's what I see too. Fast breaks, those are fast. Yeah.

1419
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 4: It just gives you a little bit of a little

1420
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 4: bit of a boost.

1421
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1422
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: What's doctor Strange do. Yeah, that's what he does.

1423
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 4: Oh, that's what he does. Sure, I think this would

1424
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 4: still be helpful, but probably not as helpful as you

1425
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 4: would think. Two foot teleport the two foot teleports. Oh yeah,

1426
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 4: it's it's like a super quick first step kind of Yeah,

1427
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 4: very very quick.

1428
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I still want to give me.

1429
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 2: A lot of that's like, Damran, really like carry the

1430
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 2: ball for a couple of feet, just go all right.

1431
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 4: Number one, this is my number one underwhelming superpower. Gigantic thumbs.

1432
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 4: Your hands are the same, your hands look the same,

1433
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 4: but you got gigantic thumbs. And I'm thinking as long.

1434
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: As like a hot dog longer.

1435
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, like you know, your thumb is probably double

1436
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 4: the length that it normally is. Great for grip, great

1437
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 4: for ball control, but you're not getting the benefit of

1438
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 4: having long fingers touching around the rim and that kind

1439
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 4: of stuff.

1440
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 2: The first just the first.

1441
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: Thumb roll reverse because it's sort of it.

1442
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,959
Speaker 2: I would shoot with my thumbs from the free throw line.

1443
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 2: It's kind of hard.

1444
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 4: You could probably throw like a wicked, big old sausage thumbs.

1445
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 3: What do you think, Lee, I'm just trying to think

1446
01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 3: if it would be good, you know, for palming the ball,

1447
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 3: you'd have real good solid luck on that, like they

1448
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 3: couldn't just like bat it away from you. But then

1449
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 3: would that be harder to shoot in the end?

1450
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Dumpers?

1451
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but sure, why not? You know,

1452
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 3: I'd rather big thumb than a big, sweaty magnety butt.

1453
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 3: That's the one thing about even pick up ball, the

1454
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 3: sweaty guy, you don't want to be running into screens

1455
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 3: from him all the time.

1456
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 4: So that should have been one extra sweaty double Oh

1457
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 4: yeaheah like Patrick Ewing h double Patrick. Those are your

1458
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 4: top five underwhelming basketball superpowers. One hundred mile per hour passes,

1459
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 4: magnetic butt as soon as you step on the court

1460
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 4: you're eight feet tall, you can teleport but only two

1461
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 4: feet away, and gigantic hot dog thumbs man double ewing

1462
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 4: though doublewing. I kind of wish I would have gotten

1463
01:05:59,120 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 4: in there that's good.

1464
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: Well, let's throw this at everybody in the stream team,

1465
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: everybody listening later, watching later, let's hear your underwhelming basketball superpower. Uh,

1466
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: and maybe there'll be another video in our future for

1467
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: all we know. All right, well, let's call it.

1473
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: just see me shoot three misses and seven hits dressed

1474

Speaker 1: in a small child's superhero costume.

1475
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 2: You know, you guys said you felt strange, but the

1476
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 2: editing makes it feel super normal.

1477
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should watch the first cut the tree did

1478
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: where there is no sound, there's not a lot of effects.

1479
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: It's you want to talk about underwhelming.

1486

Speaker 2: at four hour chore, just dump just dropped in my lap.

Speaker 1: But it was Jesus well, I mean.

1488
