1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Well, there are plenty of teams that are on the

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: move all around the NBA. I mean, I wish the

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Lakers could be doing more, but look, that's beside the point.

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: And as we had closer to the All Star weekend,

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,319
Speaker 1: we'll look into that and we'll break it all down

6
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: as well as the state of the Clippers with Clutch

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: Point Beat writer Tomaras. Early on today's episode, I'm Miles

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: Gray and I'm Jack O'Brien, and this is Miles and Jack.

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Can you say that NBA teams are on the move?

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Do you just mean they're moving around on the court,

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: because that's not true. They're making moves. They're making moves

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: up and down. The standings were static. I feel like

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: some we're stagnant. Other there's movements. But yes, because there's

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: also they have away games, so they have to travel

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: to those, which they're these these crazy guys are moving

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: all around the country. We'll see where they end up.

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: The next Lakers are in New York. The heck is

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: that about? But yes, to welcome our guest, Tomas Ale. Welcome,

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: welcome man, and thank you for joining us on. Appreciate

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: having me. Thank yeah, thanks for doing it so lifelong

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: nb A wops, whops said man without a country a

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: little bit, but you cut you kind of pulled for

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Yeah, I mean, if I'll be honest, I

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: was a I'm a lifelong Bron guy. I mean I

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: grew up watching him, so that that's kind of my guy. Um.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, again, like I said, I just kind

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: of just didn't want to root for the you know,

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the team that everyone's rooting for growing up here in

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: l A. Everyone's going for the Lakers. It seemed too

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: easy for him at the time, you know, three o two,

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: they would just winning championships left and right. It's like

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: it's too easy. So I said, let's make life hell.

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to the opposite of the life, absolute hell.

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: And uh, I mean yeah, been covering the Clippers now

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: for about seven years. I mean also games were more

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: affordable to go to all. Yes, it was just it's

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: easier to get into the into the team, into the

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: sport that way. So uh yeah, I've covered him seven

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: years now and it's been a blast. I love it, honestly. Yeah.

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Has it been painful for you since, like being split

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: allegiance with Lebron on the Lakers? No, I mean, honestly,

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the first two years we're you know, there's a lot

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: of you know, being star struck and learning the way

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: how things go. But it's been I think, my I'm

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: pretty objective now. I just I'm just a basketball fan,

46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. And you know, um, I

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: did get to INDIVI Lebron for the first time last year,

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: and that was one of the you know, the long

49
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I had been strut talking a long time until lasting

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: my question. I was like, I'm asking Brown a question.

51
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: That's the guy I watched growing up, you know, ten

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: twelve years ago, and now I'm asking the question. So

53
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: you hear his voice come out of his head and

54
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: you're like, that's Lebron James's voice coming out and I'm

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: talking to that voice. And let me tell you that

56
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: the the aunts and uncles who see that, and you know,

57
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: the parents obviously gotta post that on on Facebook and

58
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: let the family members know. So tattoo of that moment

59
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: that you might got right after embedded in history. But now,

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty objective now. I I'm just a

61
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: general basketball fan. I like watching you know, I'll watch seven.

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: I got leaked my TVs on and be a TV

63
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: when there's no games on. So I'm just hoops at

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: this point, who's You're like? Okay, if if you you

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: know as a fan, what's like the next team? You

66
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: You're like, I really like what I'm seeing out of them.

67
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: I really like the Thunder for one with Alexander Um.

68
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm a big Sacramento guy. Ever since they had DeMarcus Cousins.

69
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: I really just rooted for him and the Kings because

70
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: they have such a passionate fan base, but really never

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: felt like they can get over the humps. So like,

72
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: remember this year one of our parts, I predicted they

73
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: were gonna make the playoffs, not even be a playing team,

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: but I got laughed at. So definitely, I'm definitely enjoying

75
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: this and the Kings of Thunder, I would say, um,

76
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: I think those are my two teams. I always like

77
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: watching Damian Lillard. Lillard He's he's fun to watch. Um,

78
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: it's really fun to watch. Lately, I love watch Dame

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: when he is like just has it going and you

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: know it's going in before it even leaves his hands.

81
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: When he stepping into those thirty five footers, you just

82
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: just got a good feeling about those the confidence in

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the swagger he pulls up walking just like it's almost

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: like I think that's it in Yeah, Like the slower

85
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: he moves, You're like, oh, I don't. I just know

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: by how slow he's moving this is going in because

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: he's just like I'm I'm just seeing the matrix just

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: moving within and you're like, there goes. Man's at his

89
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: own pace and pulls up and hits it. Things are

90
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: slowing down so much for him that they slowed down

91
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: for us watching him. It's like, how does that times

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: dilating for me as well? On Twitter video clip? I mean,

93
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: that's real with Luca. We're gonna talk about some some

94
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Luca performances, but man, he seems to be moving. I

95
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: feel like that would be a very frustrating person to

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: guard if I were an NBA player, and just seeing

97
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: him do things in slow motion, it really is so

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: casual and so for him, it's it's amazing. That's what

99
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: I think is so that's so like it draws me

100
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: in because I think it's because he's so slow moving,

101
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: not like in a bad way, like he moves at

102
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: the speed he needs to. It just underlines his like

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: mastery of shooting too. They're like, yeah, he's just you can't.

104
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: He's like the old wise man on the mountain. Basically,

105
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: I always look at him as like very quick though

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: you when you are you talking about like his step

107
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: backs and like just like like he he has a

108
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: casualness to his shooting that I mean, like that's what

109
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: I mean. That's what I mean, Like not slow, but

110
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: like it's there's he doesn't feel like he's frantic when

111
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: he shoots. He's so calm and collected that it feels

112
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: like it's slow. Like he's like, yeah, man, I got this,

113
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: just confident is not going to get blocked. Whereas if

114
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: I was shooting and somebody's within four ft of me,

115
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I would close my eyes and turn my face away

116
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: before because I would be so certain that I was

117
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: about it about to get sent. I was listing that

118
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: with Chris Middleton too. I was watching the Bucks Pelicans game,

119
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: and he just he shoots the most contested shots like

120
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: he is just like it doesn't matter. He will he

121
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: will shoot. When you have your hands in his face

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: and aren't like moving anywhere, he'll still just like put

123
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: it up. He's like thank you. Yeah, that's just and

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: there are two of the best shooters in the league.

125
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: So I mean, speaking of shooters, let's talk about the Clippers,

126
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the best three point shooting road team out there. I

127
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: witnessed that recently when the lake would happen. First, Oh,

128
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: I just remember a certain point, I was like, they're

129
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: shooting sixty percent from there, and I turned into a

130
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: husk of a man and I blew away in the

131
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: wind in a thousand pieces because I was so destroyed

132
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: by that, Like every single thing was dropping. Like how

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: are you feeling? I mean, like your y'all are cooking

134
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, I mean, look, the biggest thing that

135
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: I've said this for a while is just they they've

136
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: got to stay healthy. They they're going to be a

137
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: contender if they stay healthy. Their problem is they just

138
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: can't put together more than four or five six games

139
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: fully healthy. I mean, at the halfway point of the season,

140
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: I think they played four games fully healthy total, none

141
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: of them consecutive. At two of those games quite coming

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: off the bench, which, like Tyler said, it was disgusting

143
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and nasty is the word he used, And I was like, no,

144
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: I was killed immediately, So like, I don't even know

145
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: if you really count those um, I mean, yeah, if

146
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: they stay healthy, I still think they need a backup center.

147
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I think at the start of the U I even

148
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: thought they needed one, UM just to you know, give

149
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: a visa zoobot some some some rest and not have

150
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: to play them forty minutes a night some nights. But yeah,

151
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: if they stay healthy, they'll be okay. I think they

152
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: got a really good you know nucleus here, a good core.

153
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: UM good offensively. I think they're the best defensive team

154
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: in the West, and I think they're third overall I

155
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: want to say in um like defensive ratings. So they're

156
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: up there. They're up there right now. They just got

157
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: a string games together. Um, stay healthy. There's no back

158
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: to backs here until after the All Star break. I think,

159
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: like March second and third, they got a good stretch

160
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: here to put some good games together. Um. I think

161
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: the next ten or eleven, I believe it is, and

162
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: and really stay healthy and put together some wins and

163
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: see what they can do. Really yeah, And like with

164
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: the trades, like you know, the rumors, you know, there's

165
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: a lot of Fred van Vleet talk, but it sounds

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: like you're more like you got around Mason Plumbly maybe yeah,

167
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: or what you think of, like how do you feel?

168
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: Because I feel like those are the two rumors I've

169
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: heard a lot about, like swirling around the Clippers. I mean,

170
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: I think there's there's just there was a lot out

171
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: of There was a lot of mouse turner buzz for one, um,

172
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: but I think that was with a lot of things.

173
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Mason Plumber is obviously a guy who he's having a

174
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: career year right now. I think he's averaging sixteen and

175
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: eleven in January, quietly because Charlotte is awful and no

176
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: one watches it. Um Isaiah Hartenstegned their former player who's

177
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: there last year. He's another option. I think the Knicks

178
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: are obviously playing him more now because of the injury

179
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: to Mitchell Robinson. But he's the guy who I think

180
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: was on the radar. Tyler knows how to use him.

181
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: I can't say he's being used to perfection in New

182
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: York undertop Thibodeaux. Um So I think that's another option

183
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: as well, And I think there's there's different guys around

184
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: the league, whether it might be like a ten day

185
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: type of guy or a I think they have a

186
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: trade exception still available so they can also absorb someone

187
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: into that. I believe it's about eight or nine millions. So, um,

188
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: there's options out there, it's just what the Clippers you.

189
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: You never you almost never see the deal. Um that's

190
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: rumored done, Like last year with Norman Pound Robert Comington,

191
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: that came out of left field. I don't even think

192
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: people knew that Norman Powell was available. Um, you know

193
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: the year before that, I think, uh, they treated lou Williams.

194
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: That was the only one that I felt like it

195
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: felt like it could happen. But even you know, going

196
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: years before that, you had the Blake Griffin Jade, you

197
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: had the Tobias Harris trade to Philly. So like there's

198
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of things around them, but whatever is rumored

199
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: usually isn't the what ends up happening, So they kind

200
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: of work in silence. My kind of opinion on anything

201
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: you hear might be other teams leaking it, um, because

202
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: it's certainly not coming from them. You know, they're trying

203
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: to get some leverage or trying to get other teams

204
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: involved or something like that. So the one thing I've

205
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: learned this team really doesn't leak, and anything you hear

206
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: probably from another team with a specific angle. So I

207
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: really you mentioned Fred bend Lee. I'm not really sure

208
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: that a point guard is what they need. I mean,

209
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: they went out this past off season got John Wall

210
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: who hadn't played I think played forty games in about

211
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: three years. Um. I mean, look, he's been solid. But again,

212
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: a guy who hasn't played three years, a guy who

213
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: was a former star acclimenting to a venture role, um

214
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: playing limited minutes. That's not easy, uh, easy at all.

215
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: So they've had to It's been a process to get

216
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: getting him acclimated. And you know he started the season

217
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: off wealth and head of rough stretch here. Um was

218
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: playing well before he got injured. So, um, you know,

219
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: it's a long season, a lot, a lot of ups

220
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: and downs. I don't personally feel a point guard is

221
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: what they need right now. I've never really felt that way,

222
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: because you have a guy like Terrence Man, who can

223
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, be your Swiss Army and not I can

224
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: play your point guard player, shooting guard player three or four. Um,

225
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: you have Reggie Jackson obviously, so I felt like they

226
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: had the pieces of Fred VanVleet. I mean, unless you're

227
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: trying to construct the nineteen Raptors all over again. You know,

228
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: maybe I could see it. I don't think it's you know,

229
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: hurt because it was a stretcher where they lost about

230
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: six in a row and I think eight of ten

231
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: or eight of twelve, and it was looking bleak. It

232
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: was looking really bad. So you know, when you win,

233
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: things look better. Yeah, he has friend Lane like had

234
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: a bad season or something, because it does feel like

235
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, you gotta get rid of Fred VanVleet.

236
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: Prior to January, he was struggling quite a bit, I

237
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: would say, with the shooting, and I think he was

238
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: doing a bit more off the ball stuff, um, which

239
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: I think he kind of attributed to a slow start.

240
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Obviously you got Scott Barnes and o g so they

241
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: all got to handle the ball. That being said, friend

242
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: Red Leady is a really really good player. Uh. The

243
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: thing is anyone on the Raptor and this is this

244
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about this with some guys, like

245
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: anyone the Raptors is going to have a heavy heavy

246
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: like medical history and the like they have. They've been

247
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: playing like forty minutes at night. If you look at

248
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the minutes per game for these guys, it's like Pascal

249
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: Cia and Fred rev leto near the top every year

250
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: for the past like four years. So you get these guys,

251
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: they had history. Man, you gotta be careful, you gotta

252
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: you can't be playing them. What's the raptors are playing

253
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: them because they're gonna break down. Um, And I think

254
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: that's a bit of the word. You gotta pay these guys.

255
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: What are you gonna have to trade to get those guys?

256
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: And what does their history look like? All that has

257
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: to factor into it. And you have to worry about

258
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: team chemistry. I got like, um, Reggie Jackson, you know,

259
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: when he wasn't starting a few games, when he wasn't

260
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: playing a few games ago with John Long the rotation, Uh,

261
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: he was a little frustrated and it showed. So you

262
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: don't want to mess with team chemistry. At the same time,

263
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things to balance. This is so

264
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: many things about it. Yeah, I mean, I guess we

265
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: can look forward to being surprised by it being none

266
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: of these things and being something that totally takes is

267
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: by surprise because a lot of people don't know this.

268
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: But the little Wayne line real GE's moving silence like

269
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: LS was about Lawrence Frank, Like he's on the record

270
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: saying that that's about Lawrence Frank. Yeah, I think the

271
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: real bar was Lawrence Frank moves into silence. But then

272
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: he did the thing the Barden actually worked out, but

273
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: he really wanted to underline that moment. Jerry West, he

274
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: was a consultant and really you know, worked his way

275
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: and worked his magic. That's what I thought, Yeah, we'll

276
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: have that. Also, just the the idea of having somebody

277
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: who can shoot, who has playoff experience, finals experience, like

278
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Fred van Vleet just really really appeals to me as

279
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: a Sixers fan because I don't know, man, the Sixers

280
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: are putting something together. They're won seven of their last eight.

281
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: The Magic are unbeatable, giant killers, but still the Celtics.

282
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: But Who's whose door do they knock on next? It's

283
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: like that very for me. The Sixers had a huge

284
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: win this week against the Nuggets, top team in the West,

285
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: uh M v P leader Yokich. Everybody's like he's he's

286
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: locking it up for a third year in a row,

287
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: and then embat you know, dominated him a Bill Simmons.

288
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons said he grabbed the race by the you

289
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: know what's Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't acknowledge.

290
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that he believes in like verous

291
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: Jenks and this is the riverous riverous Jenks, and he's

292
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: clearly trying to get em beat. Uh you know, have

293
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: him have a have a bad run here, But um,

294
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I still all the playoff talk is

295
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: like I need to see we still we still rely

296
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,359
Speaker 1: on two players who haven't done it in the playoffs

297
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: and embeat. It's been really bad luck with like his

298
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: face repeatedly getting broken from and both with Harden. I

299
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I'm don't believe in the Sixers. I

300
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: don't believe in them absolutely. I think I think they

301
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: got it. They gotta figure it out right now. I

302
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: mean obviously that that loss of the magic isn't isn't

303
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: working well. But Tyris Max he has been fantastic for

304
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: them that now that he's healthy, James Harden looks like

305
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: a legit point guard. I think he's every ten very

306
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: very quietly this year. I don't think people have talked

307
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: about him enough. Tobias Harris has been solid, gotten better

308
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: as a defenders. So like their top four might be

309
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: the best top four in the league. Did they go

310
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: past the second round? That's the question. That's the question.

311
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: It's all luck, man, It's it's all I mean, who

312
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: do they lose to last year? The Heat? Yeah, I

313
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: mean yeah, it's a lot of luck, a lot of

314
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: matchup based you know, uh situations. But and Mbiad's face

315
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: was broken at the beginning of that and missing came

316
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: in out of shape, and yeah you stay you stay healthy. Um,

317
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: you got PJ Tuck on your team this year, another

318
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: year under Tiris Max, he's about another year under you know, James,

319
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: and James had a training camp with him be this year.

320
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: They think, you know, forming a good one to punch here.

321
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: So I can see it, man, I really can. I

322
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: thought the thing with the with the Celtics for me

323
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: was like last year they were clearly the better team

324
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: in the finals until the Warriors just found what worked

325
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: for them defensively, like the Celtics could not capitalize on

326
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: their athletticism, and I worry about that happening again over

327
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: the course of the series, where a team will be

328
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: able to figure them out. So like that's why I'm

329
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, there's still the favorites in the East.

330
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: But I could see Philly making a run for sure.

331
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: I could see Milwaukee making a run for sure. Like,

332
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that clear cut right now. Milwaukee

333
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: looks really good to me. Have you seen the Jannic

334
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: the Yeah, he's really when he's when he's got to go,

335
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: and he's as dominant as as anything. Yeah. But anyways,

336
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention the Sixers because I know

337
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: our listeners are like, you guys don't talk about MB

338
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: you don't talk about the Sixers enough, So I had to.

339
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: I had to mention it. Really, just mention it. You

340
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: know what's funny. I actually when when they played the

341
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: clip us here a couple of weeks ago, I asked

342
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: him about like the rise of European players, like the

343
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: best four, the best players are international right now, and

344
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: he cut me up and he goes, but who's the

345
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: best player. I was like, I just said four, the four,

346
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: the five or the best who was the best player that.

347
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I want the best players international and

348
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: he goes, okay, okay, I'll take that. I'll take that, Okay,

349
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: you asked Yeah. I asked him beat that post game

350
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, but I'm good he wanted

351
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: me to say whether he was better than your kid

352
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: is basically what he's trying to say, And I just

353
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: went I played save. I was a kind of a coward.

354
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I was like the best players international, Yeah, very boy,

355
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: don't give don't give the child what he wants. He

356
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: was trying, and he was trying. He was trying right right, Jack.

357
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: What did you think of the pleasantries exchanged between Marquelle

358
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: Faults and like the team and there's there's a nice

359
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: back and forth. I noticed, you know, like Embid was like,

360
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think we I think we gave up

361
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: on him too early. False was like, I really, you know,

362
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: Philadelphia can be a tough city, but they showed me love.

363
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: It was all good. How are feeling around all that?

364
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: Mark hell Folts and Jason Tatum are both very painful

365
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: players for me to watch and contemplate because of the

366
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: fact that I feel like embiad has a couple of

367
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: chips if they if they make the right decision on

368
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: on that trade and don't do it and just take

369
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: Jayson Tatum at the three spot or you know whatever whatever,

370
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: or draft him first if if they had to trade

371
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: up for it. So I don't know and then you know,

372
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. I find myself the Sixers and the Nets

373
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: played a really great competitive game, obviously without k D,

374
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: but it was it was very fun, and I find

375
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 1: myself still getting excited for when, like Ben Simmons had

376
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: the best quarter I think he's had this season, maybe

377
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, just being aggressive and getting into

378
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: the paint. So I'm just I'm ruined by my my

379
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: history as a Sixers fan. You know, I can't, I

380
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: can't be objective, but you know, when when they are

381
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: playing mind games with Simmons, I'm like, well, you know

382
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: was the real reason we're all here? You understand, right,

383
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: But anyways, I'm happy. I think it's all silly and

384
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: everybody should be friendly everyone, and it looks like and yeah,

385
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: not to say that there's any bad blood, because I

386
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: feel like most Sixers fans enjoy seeing that he's getting on,

387
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, in Orlando, which is always nice to see

388
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: because for a moment there was I think but before this,

389
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: I remember, before this podcast was out of markl. Folter

390
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: was having trouble with the shooting. We were always like,

391
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: what what has to happen? Well it was I I

392
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: did give him some pointers right after he was drafted

393
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: and told him to you know, we're at work with

394
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: a tennis ball and softball and in your old high

395
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: school coach. Yeah, my old high school coach gave him

396
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: the shot doctor t M. I do have a trademark

397
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: next to that. Anyways, I am I am glad every

398
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: time he's healthy and putting up some impressive stats and

399
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: he's he's really like a fun person to watch. Should

400
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: we take a break, come back and talk about some

401
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: movers and shakers, Why not? As long as they're moving

402
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: somewhere and we're back. I feel like we're starting to

403
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: see things shape into a standings that I wouldn't have

404
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: been shocked by, like at the beginning of the season.

405
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: So the Pelicans, I mean we we did say the

406
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: Pelicans were gonna be good. I didn't necessarily think they

407
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: were gonna be at the top of the West like

408
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: they were a couple of weeks ago. They have since

409
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: them gone one and nine over the last ten. They're

410
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: down to the eighth seed in a plant spot Pacers

411
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: one and nine over the last ten, and then the

412
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: Wolves and Clippers, who I think we expected to be

413
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: pretty solid this year are six and four and seven

414
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: and three, uh or the Clippers are six and four,

415
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: seven and three over the last ten. Warriors are back

416
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: in the five spot. I think the big surprise that

417
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: like the team that everybody was, you know, expecting maybe

418
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: to be contended, like at best, to be contending for

419
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: a play in spot except for the King's sack down,

420
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: Like there, what would what would that bed have looked like?

421
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: I know, I'm pretty sure that they're over under on

422
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: wins was like thirty three or something, right, Yeah, not

423
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: being in the playoffs since what like two thousand six

424
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. So they're in the three spots in the

425
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: West with a four game lead and the lost column

426
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: over the four seed. So there, you know, they're solidly

427
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: in there. But the heat are now rising, Like it

428
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: really feels like the past couple of weeks has been

429
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: a reversion to the mean of like what people's expectations

430
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: were heading into the season. So I don't know, now

431
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: they get a factor in like strength of schedule. Guys

432
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: are in and out like matters um. So yeah, I

433
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: think the Clippers finished the first half of the season

434
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: before they all start playing the most games of any

435
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: team in the league. I think it's like sixty I

436
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: want to say sixty one or sixty two somewhere like that. So,

437
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: uh yeah, and March they have they have like four

438
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: different sets of three days off or two days off

439
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: they have. They have a bunch of days off in March.

440
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: So they they got like a very front loaded schedule

441
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: and then like the second half it is very very light.

442
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why we call the

443
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: second half twenty games left, but um, they have a

444
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: very you know, black second half. So I guess that

445
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: all that all factors into you look at the rest

446
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: days and who's in and out and all that. A

447
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: lot of guys started the season hot and then kind

448
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: of cool off, Like I think the Blazers kind of

449
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: started hot and they felt like they kind of peaked

450
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: too early. Um, so you know, the Clippers starting to

451
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: play well, the Warriors are starting to play well there

452
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: somehow back in the five seeds after it felt like

453
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: they were the thirteen seed like a week and a

454
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: half agour something like that. So close together out West,

455
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, the Lakers are the Lakers are

456
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: what are the thirteens right now? And there three games

457
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: out of the sixth seeds like yeah, and then yeah,

458
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: even Memphis too. They're starting to slip. Ever since uh

459
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: that little showdown with Shannon Sharpe went down, feels like

460
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: jaw hasn't quite quite found it. You know what, alright,

461
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: we we do wanna. I think we've made a decision

462
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: on who at least temporarily gets our nickname that we've

463
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: been looking for the right candidate for business decision. The

464
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: business decision being what how do we And as we

465
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: define a business decision on this show is is somebody

466
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: who is about to be on a poster and that

467
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: makes the correct business decision to not contest the don't

468
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: and just get out of the way, do not engage

469
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: as quickly as do not engage, do not engage. Um,

470
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: And I think I think we have it from last season,

471
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: but this this does embody our definition of a business decision.

472
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: You're going up. You realize, no, actually I'm gonna be

473
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit the no smoke section. Yes, in fact,

474
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: and smoked his head down the way to put his

475
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: head down. I was like, nope, nope, praggye smoke said

476
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: no smoke for me. It's truly So we're gonna we'll

477
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: link off to it in the foot notes of this

478
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: episode and on Twitter. Just suproducer Jabari found this and

479
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: linked off to it on Twitter. But and he did.

480
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: He did kindly contrast this with what I did in

481
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: high school, which I went up against seven footer Dan

482
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: goid Zerich and tried to contest every dunk. After he

483
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: had dunked on me thirteen times, I was like, this one,

484
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: this one, this is the one where my jumping skills

485
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: exponentially increased. Yes, wow, so you were kind of like

486
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: a punch drunk boxer, like it was the rocky one

487
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: of getting dunked on. I was just punch drunk and still,

488
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, I thought I was going to get like

489
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: style points or something because it was Jim. There's nobody

490
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: there and it was just me getting abused. Well, look,

491
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: and that's what it takes to make proper business decisions. Yeah,

492
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: that's why I admire this so much. To marry you

493
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: play ball like you ever you ever come across some

494
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: moments like that. I mean, look, you know, egos aside,

495
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: because this has been a touchy question, we've realized on

496
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: the internet, nobody wanted to come in when they've had to.

497
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: We we put into our listeners, like, hey, anybody else

498
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: had some business decisions they had to make and people

499
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: were hitting us up in the d M s and

500
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: like just the tweet. I mean, I've always been I've

501
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: always been the type of guy who just like, if

502
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: I know, if I know the guy's trying to trying

503
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: to slam it, I'm just I'm just gonna go for

504
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: the arm as hard as I can. And so one

505
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: time I did get the arm, I did exactly. I

506
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: didn't block the dunk, just got in here. And the

507
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: next time he decided to use two hands, So that's

508
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: not did you tell him that's not fair as he

509
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: was dunking it over you with two hands? Hey, no fair,

510
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: no fair? Look at the ref. You look at the

511
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: ref after ref. No fair, man, no fair. He used

512
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: two hands on that one. Yeah, so ever since ever

513
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: since I got two hands bunked on in high school, Um,

514
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, it's just not worth it, just not

515
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: worth it. If it's if if if I think I

516
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: can go for the arm, I would do it. Other

517
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: than that, I'm just it's not worth it. Older I got,

518
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: the more, I'm like, well, it's just it's just a game.

519
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't don't. I don't need to get dunked on.

520
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't need to. I don't need to take a

521
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: charge here or or or you know, contest this shot here.

522
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: Go ahead, have your highlight. I'm just gonna go back

523
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: down and try to you know, get to the bucket

524
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: or something. You know. Yeah, and I don't have a

525
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: bruise dug at that point, so you get dunk. I'm not.

526
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a bruise d go. We're okay. Well,

527
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: I do want to say just the the technique he

528
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: uses Frankie Laino in this is so he jumps, but

529
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: his body like so his legs jump, thinking I'm I've

530
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: got to contest this because I'm the defender in the

531
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: NBA basketball game. But like you can see as like

532
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: the signal from his brain travels down his body to

533
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: like recognize, like, oh, I'm gonna get dunked on if

534
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't do something drastic, and so his like eyes

535
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: go dead and then his hands go down to his

536
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: side like he's doing like the pencil dive that year

537
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: when you're jumping into the like uh, and then like

538
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: he also, I don't know. It reminds me of like

539
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: what they tell you to do against a bear attack,

540
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: Like if a bear is attacking you, you just go

541
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: limp like that. You don't fight back, Yeah, don't fight

542
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: back and just like kind of make yourself small, don't

543
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: be interesting. I think I think Mila Kino was considering

544
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: international relationship between Canada and France and didn't want to anything.

545
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: He wanted to know business decision internationally as well. It's

546
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: not just so yeah, yeah, that's true. I just love though,

547
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: like how early though he gives up like he's still

548
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: he's still on the ground here, and then as soon

549
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: as he gathers to go up he started he gave

550
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: up right here because he started immediately starts tucking his arms.

551
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: It's as soon as his arms go down, as soon

552
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: as Wiggins put his hands back yea, and it's like

553
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: you know what this is gonna badly? Yeah, he's like,

554
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: oh no, he's cocking it back right right. Well look,

555
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean look, Tom or do you have any other

556
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: do any other memories hit your brain of other business

557
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: decisions in the past that you felt like, you know

558
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: that getting dunked on wasn't enough you want no, no, no,

559
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean like of that you can even recall from

560
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: seeing the NBA or games past, because I feel like

561
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: we always want our listeners to always be looking out

562
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: for these kinds of interesting moments that we're trying to

563
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: give definitions to, like making a big business. I can't

564
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: think of any one moment, and I don't mean to

565
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: put you on the spot, so I can't. I can't

566
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: think of any one moment. But yeah, I mean I'm

567
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: a big fan of those. I love when guys just admit,

568
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, a mid air that they're just not getting this.

569
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Is that almost now, now that I think about it,

570
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: What would be more satisfying to the person dunking? It's

571
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, he made a business decision, or

572
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: is it to like, you know, flex up over the

573
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: vanquished when they're on the ground after Because I don't know,

574
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: a party you'd be like, yeah, you already knew you

575
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: did not even want to sign up for that. I

576
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: don't know. Now I'm trying to think, what if you

577
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: want to go viral? You know, Job food agree. I

578
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: think I think job will take it both ways. But

579
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, the glory of cocking back and detonating on

580
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: someone seems to be pretty satisfying. I I wouldn't know

581
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: personally no, I would not. But just like the sounds

582
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: that Dan get Zeriic was making when he was jumping

583
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: on me, it seems to be sounds of great satisfaction

584
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 1: and joy. Oh you felt that. You're like, this is

585
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: probably disrespectful to to to give up, bit air if

586
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: you if you're the guy who you really just don't

587
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: just don't back up and give up. Yeah, kind of

588
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: like a warrior code. It's like you came into the

589
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: colosseum and this is to death, baby, this is to death.

590
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: I would have went up with you too, and if

591
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: you killed me, then that's what it is. What it is, okay,

592
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: because if you block that shot, you're flexing on them. Yeah.

593
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Although although it is a terrible to be like going

594
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: up and like, oh, he's dunking it and then be like,

595
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: you know what, arms across my chest as if I'm

596
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: going down like an emergency slide on an airplane that's evacuated.

597
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the move. That's a business decision. I

598
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: want to see across the arms like you're going down

599
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: the slide off and coming off playing or like a

600
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: water slide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Tom as somebody who

601
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: gets to see a good deal of NBA action in person.

602
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: Is there a player that you've seen in person that

603
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: just you would tell people like, don't talk about this

604
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: person's game until you've seen them in person. Honestly, I

605
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: think post injury Kauai has been pretty badly disrespected. Yea,

606
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: And I think people just and you never know how

607
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: someone's gonna come off with, you know, an a c

608
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: L injury. I think he's one that is so you

609
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: can never speed him up. He's gonna play his own

610
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: game no matter what you're doing. Honestly, Steph Curry, if

611
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: you just watch him like in an arena, watch him

612
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: move off the ball and that guy standing on that

613
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: guy's just Cardio is through the roof. I mean, it's

614
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: it's really insane to watch it in person because defenders

615
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: have to go through screens, went through the screens. It's

616
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: just it's it's crazy to watch. Honestly. I know, I

617
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: know it's not to pick it's kind of whack to

618
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: pick the stars, I guess, But like just the way

619
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: those guys um methodical, not sped up playing their own game,

620
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: I think is is really really fun to watch. I

621
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 1: think the Curry thing is really interesting because we were

622
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, his conditioning and how other NBA

623
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: players who even attempt like some of the drills he

624
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: does are just like vomiting within like twenty seconds basically yeah,

625
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: And I can like yeah, because I mean I've I

626
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: actually haven't seen Steph playing person, but that is like

627
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: when I hear you say that, I'm like, yeah, actually,

628
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: that is something I feel like I would really want

629
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: to see in person, because just reading about his fitness

630
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: regime and what he does to stay in condition is

631
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: enough for me to be like, uh, yeah, that that

632
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: sounds about right. He not only needs to be able

633
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: to like run all the all that distance, like you know,

634
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: top speed, but he's doing it while trying to keep

635
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: his heart rate below a certain level, which is like

636
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: the level at which he knows he can shoot well

637
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: like that. That's just it's a whole different level of

638
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: precision that I was not aware existed prior to him.

639
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it's one more thing. Let me throw

640
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: one more thing out there. I guess one thing one

641
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: player I think is like an underrated level of strong.

642
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: It is probably like Demontes sibonis Um. He doesn't look

643
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: like the biggest guy and I think like when, for example,

644
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: when Steven Adams says that's a big guy, like a

645
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: strong guy, but that you know that probably he's a

646
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: guy who who doesn't look super bulky, but that guy

647
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: in the post is just going to back you down

648
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: no matter who you are. He is so wide, strong, base,

649
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: just nice built, just he's incredible. He's another guy who

650
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: I think his his post, his post game and his

651
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: his strength has not really talked about as much because

652
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: you don't really see that until you see, like in

653
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: person for example. So right where Steven Adams reads as

654
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: like you could put him in roles that were written

655
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: for Andre the Giant and you'd be like, yeah, I

656
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: mean that's that's that's about right. I should lift that

657
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: car up with one hand. Um, all right, should we

658
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 1: talk about some performances real quick? Yeah, yeah, let's give

659
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: let's hand out some flowers real quick. Luca put up

660
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: a fifty three, seven and five versus the Pistons, started

661
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: the game with twenty four of his team's thirty points

662
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: um just score of precision like the bal dominance and

663
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: ability to make that work again continues to be unparalleled

664
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: with Luca, and there was also I read a stat

665
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: that he he hasn't scored fifty points outside of the

666
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: state of Texas. Coming, Yeah, it's coming against the Spurs

667
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: and the Rockets, like this season that he's just like,

668
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: He's like not, He's like, yeah, Texas is where he

669
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: goes off at the highest level. It turns out, okay,

670
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: the big state. Maybe it always feels like home to him.

671
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: We saw him Money showed up in that cowboy outfit

672
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: to the game and just looked very was that was

673
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: that a Christmas Day game? I'm trying to remember why

674
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: where Luca was arriving, but he he just looked like

675
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: a kid who just got in a costume and was

676
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: like the most funny. He looked like Mike TV from

677
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who had like the cowboy

678
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: guns and stuff. But there was a great moment afterwards

679
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: where they're talking about it's like, hey, you know, Luka,

680
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: you're you're you're not bad with your mouth. You know

681
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: you'd like to talk a little bit of trash, Like

682
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: what are your feelings on that? And there's this this exchange.

683
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: But his answer about his like love of trash talk

684
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: sent just shivers down my spine, just in the way

685
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: he answered, I haven't having no problems that it's it's

686
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: basketball gets me going for sure. Uh, I don't have

687
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: no problems. Do you enjoy it? Yeah, there's almost something

688
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: perverse about look on was basically yeah, that's me. Whoa, whoa,

689
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: he said, yes, but it was yeah, which I think again,

690
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: I love that. It just felt like something like a

691
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: batman villain would say. His mouth said yeah, but his

692
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: eyes said feed me daddy, which was never ending, never ending.

693
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: Jana's put up a fifty thirteen versus the Pelicans, Uh,

694
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: caped it off with a pull up three and did

695
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: it all in thirty minutes, and it was just yeah.

696
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: But when he's going towards the basket and they're throwing

697
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: three bodies at him and he's just matrix ing himself

698
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: through the time space continuum. Uh, it's it's pretty cool

699
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: to watch the three body problem. The three body problem,

700
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: that's what Yeah, that's what he solves on the regular. Yeah.

701
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: There was some some wild stad I mean, like across

702
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: like the last four games, like how he's just like

703
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: the most potent score with like the least amount of minutes,

704
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: but you know he's coming back with a bang. I

705
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: think recently he was asked like, how do you feel

706
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: are you better that this season the last season? He's like, yeah,

707
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: but you're only seeing it yet. And you're like, oh no,

708
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: what do you say, y'all? Aren't what he's like. He's like,

709
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: he's just not seeing it yet. You like, mental, Yeah,

710
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, huh. And Chris Middleton's back, come on now,

711
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: hold them back? Okay, Okay, Yeah. They looked terrifying in

712
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: that game. Granted the Pelicans were banged up, but like

713
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: they they looked scary and like they were having fun

714
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: and then they did it to the Pacers. I mean

715
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: that that there were some dunks in that game that,

716
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: barring if job Moran didn't exist, they would be my

717
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: dunks of the year from Janice. There was one that

718
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: was it involved a bad business decision. I'll say that

719
00:35:48,200 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: it turned over the place of Alan pushing it. Oh

720
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: my goodness, to building is buzzing right now, and what

721
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: a pass coiverus the Hawks. It's a good point about

722
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: like just his economy of motion, like there's no wasted movement,

723
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: is just always so efficient, just directly gets to his

724
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: spots um and it just like looks inevitable and there

725
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: there's no other player. I heard this, This was true

726
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: of Michael Jordan. That is like he just every part

727
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: of him was incredibly strong. There's another player where you

728
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: can like see how strong their hands are the way

729
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: you can with Kauai, Like just when he's defending someone

730
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: or when he's holding someone off, it's just wild, like

731
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: it's just like a piece of steel. Don't you ever

732
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: had a chance to or if you have a chance to,

733
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: try to watch his just his shot release, watch how

734
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: the ball looks so tiny and his in his palm

735
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: and watch the release. It looks like he's throwing like

736
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: a little tennis balls. Yeah, it's weird. He wasn't a

737
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: good shooter when he came in league because like that

738
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: is that makes it really hard to shoot when your

739
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: hands up. Can I get a bigger ball man? Come on? Yeah?

740
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: It was like I couldn't shoot a golf ball from

741
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: three point range. But he is on point. He's shooting well,

742
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: like when you know when he has a going he's

743
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: he looks really good. I'm starting to believe the Clippers

744
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: are gonna make some noise. And then Sacramento there there

745
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: was like a University of Kentucky Showdown between Darren Fox

746
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: and Anthony Edwards uh and Sacramento one. That one, Darren

747
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: Fox dropped thirty two, Leek Monk dropped nineteen off the bench.

748
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: So Wildcat fans were probably enjoying that one, and Hot

749
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: Cheetos fans as well. Yeah, what was the hot Cheetos thing? Yes? Yes,

750
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: three back, he's got a three bag problem. Well that

751
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: brings us to the hot seat. I guess we'll come

752
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: back and do a rapid fire eh. Yeah, yeah, and

753
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: we're back until Mara Zarlee. You are about to embark

754
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: on the fastest paced question and answer segment in podcast history.

755
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: We call it the rapid Fire Round of Questioning. We're

756
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a question t M t M trademark.

757
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask you a question. Don't think too long.

758
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,520

Speaker 1: to fight over that one, shall we? Here we go

770
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: start the clock. My gosh, Clara Darley, if you could

771
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 1: bet on any fan base to make the in arena

772
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: challenge shots, you know, like the lay up, free throws,

773
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: three point or half court you know that whole thing,

774
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: which fan bases or fan base would you bet on

775
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: to do that? Successful Lakers? Yeah? I mean they've they've

776
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: had three half court winners just here. Oh that's true,

777
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: three alone, three half court winners just this year. I

778
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: think it was like a hundred thousand, seventy thousand the

779
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: amount of resets every time someone makes it, right, So

780
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: like they've had three of them. There's the three half

781
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: court winners. Yeah, it's it's insane. I mean that that

782
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: team has that. The Lakers should bring every one of

783
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 1: those guys and signed them, like, yeah, two lasers out there.

784
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: I mean I already forgot about my man who drove

785
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,719

786
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan se this this is, this is where we're at.

787
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: And I think he actually got got on the team

788
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: from hitting a half court shot. I think during so

789
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: got him for that game. Hit the shot, and then

790
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: he just actually dropped off some movie eats for me

791
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: earlier this week. So he's like out of it. He's like, Also,

795
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,919

807
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: We should keep this going, Jack, what's up? Anthony Edwards

808
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: recently acknowledged a three bag per day habit of hot

809
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: Cheetos fries. I believe it was twenty one a week,

810
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: so you know we're averaging there, but we we don't

811
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: know if like on Saturdays he's putting down eighteen and

812
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: then like three on another day. But anyway, what was

813
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: or is your wildest eating habit when you were a

814
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: young athlete, like Anthony Edwards McDonald's with chickens, how many

815
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: of you putting down? I mean there was a McDonald's

816
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: right outside our high school, so I mean I don't

817
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: say we're going every day or we were going maybe

818
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: like three times a week to chickens for like two bucks.

819
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: So I would tell me this probably five to sick

820
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: the week, and was like the like the biggest hooper

821
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: on your team? Did he have the worst diet of

822
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: every any person on earth? Didn't follow that because there

823
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: was a trend of hooper like people around me where

824
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: I was just like are you guys even serious about

825
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: your bodies because you're you play really well, but all

826
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: you eat is like ice cream. I don't remember. I

827
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: actually don't remember. Actually I used to do really well, Like,

828
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: don't be wrong. I used to eat a lot of

829
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: home cooked meals. We used to watch a lot of

830
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: a lot of what I ate. But having a McDonald's

831
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: gonna tell your high school. It's just dangerous. It's really

832
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: really bad. Like I'm I'm talking like we walked for

833
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: maybe like a minute and we got there, like it

834
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: was there right there. So um, I don't know about

835
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: his diet. I don't. I can't remember, honestly, I can't remember. Yeah, No,

836
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's there's just something always unfair

837
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: about like these elite athletes are like, yeah, what's your secret?

838
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, twenty one bags of Chester hot

839
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: fries a week and you're like what there was like

840
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: a takedown piece on Jeordan. It was like Jordan's rules

841
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: and they're like he just polished off of Pepperoni pizza.

842
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: Like this guy doesn't take it. Is like, actually, you're

843
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: just making him seem more like a superhero man, Like

844
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. That he doesn't watch what he eats, and like, yeah, Tommary,

845
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: you never hit up that that Tommy's on Victory. Isn't

846
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: that just up the street? So I have, but it

847
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: was so much. I felt like I gained. I felt

848
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: I felt so heavy after that. Yeah, at least felt

849
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: I felt, you know, chi Burger from which man, No,

850
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: that's just that's crazy. All right, Tommary, we really got

851
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: to keep this moving, man. We can't just keep talking

852
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: about obscure Burger, chains on Victory and Kester. We got

853
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,479
Speaker 1: to keep this segment moving. With All Star Weekend coming

854
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: up in a few weeks, you have the chance to

855
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: put together an all time three point competition. Which four

856
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: shooters from throughout NBA history are you picked? I guess,

857
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: like whenever playing, I'm guessing we're talking, yeah, George Gurban

858
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: now yeah, i'd want to see Clyde Now, Um, I

859
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: guess we'll go. I mean, is it Steph play Ray

860
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: and Reggie right Miller? Like, I mean, there are no right,

861
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: there's no wrong answers, right or wrong answers. But that's

862
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: that's powerful. Yeah, that's a good Thompson, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen.

863
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: See what those guys do if you get out of fifth?

864
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: Who would you? Guy? Sorry to augment the question like that,

865
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to see what was you've got. No,

866
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: let's just disappear. Maybe Kyle Korverer. I guess interesting could

867
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: be in JJ Reddick. I'd be interested. Like some of

868
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: the people from the eighties that you know weren't shooting

869
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: as much as those guys like a Larry Bird for instance.

870
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that guy Larry Bird? He played

871
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: for a little bit and like he was apparently real

872
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: cocky and uh like like to talk trash around the

873
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: three point contest. I think that'd be interesting to like

874
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: put it out there or Craig Hodges Craig Hodges Man

875
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: I think said ellis yeah interesting. Um, all right, you

876
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: can go back time and watch any single NBA game

877
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: gam from throughout history. Which game are you choosing? Or

878
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: game or game in person or on TV? Oh since

879
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:21,479
Speaker 1: Calves games five in Yeah, game where a row thirty?

880
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,480

881
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,400

00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: fan that I watched that and I was like, yo,

884
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: This dude is crazy. He was doing things he's never

885
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: done before, like behind the back, dribbled to a side

886
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: step three like I've never seen him make that move

887
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: in his life. And he was sitting overtime like that.

888
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it'd be game It'd be game five. Pistons

Speaker 1: Calves two thousand and seven, Uh Conference Finals. Yeah, you

890
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: could like kind of see the joy. He was like

891
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: just making it up as he went and was like yeah, fun.

892
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: And finally Tomara the most question Jack or Miles. Oh
