WEBVTT - James Harden’s A PROBLEM and Taylor Jenkins is PISSED!

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You're you're listening to The Hottest, The Hottest. It be

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a podcast out here. I said what I said. It's

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the Heat Check, Heat Check Check.

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 2>It's just on this episode of the Heat Check. Oh.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm fired up about a lot, baby, but we'll just

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 2>keep it to basketball right now. I'm fired up about

0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Harden and the LA Clippers. You know, I got some

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on that. The Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins. Someone

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 2>says him, he gets the SoundBite of the week. We

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 2>got a surprise winner in a lot going on, William,

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 2>So uh, do me a favor and drop that motherfucker

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>beat that should be Rihanna. Oh, we gotta talk about this.

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I know we do. When I know it might just

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 2>might blow up in my face because it hasn't been

0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>enough of a sample size. It might fix itself, but

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>let's be in all reality, it's not gonna fix itself.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>I am fired up about the most unseerious basketball player

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to call himself a superstar in my lifetime in the

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Association in twenty twenty three, mister loaf, mister fatsuit, mister

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>James Fucking Harden. Harden has now taken his circus to

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>La where he is now fucking up the chemistry of

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>another team, and three games in he's got an entire

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 2>fan base stripping themselves of their own DNA, cannibalizing each

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 2>other like it's the fucking Hunger Games. The Clipper fan

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>base in all four of them are at each other's throats,

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>calling for Tyloo's job to be fired into the sun,

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Hardened to be benched, Russ to be benched, Kawhi to

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 2>ask out for an entire dismantling of the organization in

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>just one week, one week everything with simpatico Clippers fans,

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 2>we're happy Harden gets there and is just chaos. Here

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>is the top line. The Clippers are now zero in

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>three with James Harden on the team. Harden is a

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>negative thirty nine plus minus over that span. That's what

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>it took three losses, Harden as a minus thirty nine

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>in three games for mass panic on the streets. There

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 2>is blood, there is fire, it's an explosion out there

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>at the arena. In all seriousness, it's not just that

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers are losing, it's how James Harden is playing.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I think that is the problem. So there's this clip

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 2>right that goes viral on Friday night. So James Harden

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>half heartedly decides I'm gonna cut. I'm gonna cut to

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the basket, and James Alert, Alert. When you cut to

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>the basket, people are going to be looking to pass

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you the ball. It was like James Harden didn't even

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 2>consider that I am going to cut to the basket

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>for no other reason. Half heartedly too, for no other

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 2>reason than just I don't know to clear out. So

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Paul George tries to pass James the ball and he's

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>unaware that it's coming his direction and it just goes

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>out of bounce. Some of the most unseerious basketball going on.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 2>And to call James Harden disinterested would be doing a

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>disservice to the word disinterested. What the fuck, James, what

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the literal fuck? You're supposed to be revived? There? You

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>look like a corpse on the basketball court. The whole

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 2>world is watching you, and you don't seem to mind.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>You think it's just fun and games. You're just an MVP.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>You can turn it on whenever you want. But guess what,

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>it's bad. And I think it's gonna get worse. I

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna get much much worse. He was supposed

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 2>to be the guy Harden that raised the ceiling for

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers, and what James Harden has done is lowered

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the floor. That is insane. You trade all your pieces,

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 2>all your role players, all your depth for one massively

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 2>overpaid guy at the end of his career on an

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>expiring contract, and guess what, and guess what and guess what.

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It fucked up the chemistry and now you guys are

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 2>taking heavy yells and I think Terrence Man hates him.

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure Terrence Man the key

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>piece in the trade that didn't end up getting traded.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>You saw it in the clip. James Harden's or makes

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>his arrival, walks into the locker room, and Terrence Man

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>in his slides, looks up from his phone for about

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 2>two seconds, rolls his eyes, and goes back to his

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 2>phone again. Here are some interesting stats, and I know

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 2>it's a small data set, but I do not care.

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>The Clippers before James Harden were fifth in offensive rating,

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>fourth and defensive rating third in net rating. After James

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Harden arrived, twenty fifth in offensive rating, twenty eighth in

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>defensive rating, twenty seventh in net rating, that is very stark.

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 2>In three games, that's actually impressive. Actually, to be able

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>to destroy a team that fast is actually quite stunning.

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>They were the best big three in all of basketball

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>were Paul George Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook before Harden

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>got there, and now that he's in the mix, integrating

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>him into the offense has been mass chaos. So what's

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.839
<v Speaker 2>the problem, Like why? Well, TYLERU Tyler thinks that the

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>problem is that James Harden's trying to assimilate too much. Hey, James,

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>we don't need you to fit in. We need us

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>to run everything through you. We need James to be James.

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, ty No, you don't, No, you don't. Harden

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>says he needs ten games to figure out where he's

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>at in terms of his in shapeness, in terms of

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>his ability to get guys the ball, to get the

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>feel of the team. And I think that's true. Let's

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 2>be real, James Harden didn't practice, he didn't go through

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 2>training camp, he didn't do any live on ball stuff.

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 2>He was basically chilling. So yeah, this is his training camp,

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and so it's probably gonna be ugly, but I am

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>starting to fear that James Harden might be washed. I

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>really am. And to say that James Harden and Russell

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Westbrook don't work together is an understatement. It didn't really

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>work in Okay, see except for that James Harden came

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 2>off the bench and he was six man. It really

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't work in Houston. And I am certain it's not

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna work now. And Westbrook was absolutely cooking before Harden

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 2>got there. He was running the offense. He was putting

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>up points, getting steels, getting blocks, getting rebounds. He looked

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>vintage Russ. Now looks like he was on the LA Lakers,

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>absolutely lost, uncertain where to be, uncertain what his role is,

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Uncertain how much time he's gonna get. I tell you what,

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>help Russell Westbrook out? Can we get some delineated roles

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 2>in this bitch or what? As for Harden, I think

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 2>it's time for him to come off the bench, I

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>really do. I don't think any teams should make him

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>the focal point of their offense ever, again, unless they're

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to lose as many games as humanly possible. The

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Guangdong Dragons shouldn't make James Harden the focal point of

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 2>their offense. So no NBA in the association should do so. Either.

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 2>He needs to adapt like we need Harden to receive ball,

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>shoot ball. Receive ball, shoot ball, don't do anything else, James,

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>do not put the ball in the four, do not heasy,

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 2>do not pump fake, do not head fake. Definitely, do

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>not step back, stand in the corner, catch and shoot.

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>But he won't. But he won't. James Harden is who

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>we thought Tobias Harris was passing up easy shots to

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>take much much more difficult shots because they seem cooler.

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>They look very much more cool in the highlights when

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>you make them catch and shoot, not so sexy tween

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 2>tweeny tween step back three splash looks pretty cool. That's

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the kind of thing the bad culture likes. Folks like

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, I think Harden should come off the bench.

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Let him be that version of Harden. Then if you

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>want James Harden to run the offense and run the

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>offense through him, do it against the scrubs. That's all

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say. Let him throw lobbs at Zubac all day.

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 2>In the second quarter, midway through, when Paul George and

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Kahi are getting a breather, we are very close to

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>finding out whether this mad scientist idea of throwing a

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>bunch of all stars at a wall right before and

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 2>arena opens up and they're all on expirings is gonna work.

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>But my guess is no. If they don't work this time,

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I am betting that the wheels will fall off and

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 2>then some drastic moves will happen for La where maybe

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>we never think about him for the next decade. Cool

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>new arena, though heurd it's gonna be awesome. Let's move forward.

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about the best SoundBite of the week, folks.

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Let me introduce you to Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins.

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>You might not know who Taylor Jenkins is because his

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>coaching style is somewhat hands off, which might shock no

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>one considering that he is the coach of John Morant

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and Jah Moran's been doing whatever he wants for the

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>last few years. But he's probably one of the most

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:12.199
<v Speaker 2>chill understated coaches in the entire league, probably least recognizable

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 2>next to Mark Dagnall, who I still think may be

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 2>actually a guy in witness protection. And the fact of

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the matter is, in all seriousness stories about de Mark dagnall,

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I get confused for stories about Taylor Jenkins and vice versa.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 2>My guy almost put a story in that was actually

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 2>not about Taylor Jenkins, and I had to remove it

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 2>because it was factually incorrect. Jenkins is not a guy

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 2>all that being said that ever seeks the limelight. He

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>is widely considered to be one of the nicest guys

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.719
<v Speaker 2>in basketball, which is when he decided to go absolutely

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>nuclear in a press conference after a loss, which many

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 2>of them are losses nowadays with Memphis, I expected him

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:56.439
<v Speaker 2>to be like factual mellow, maybe a little angry, But this, folks,

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 2>was a whole new version of Taylor Jenkins. Let's listen in.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 3>You know a lot of calls that ended up not

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 3>going your way in this game. Just how would you describe,

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, the feeling between yourself and the team, you know,

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 3>when a game kind of plays out that way.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Sure settle up one of the most poorly officiated games

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 4>I've ever seen recorded.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine with it. Fucking atrocious.

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Jaron Jackson plays twenty three minutes and is.

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:25.200
<v Speaker 1>In the paint all night.

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 4>He's one of the most professional players in this league

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 4>and gets a double technical foul and the excuse I

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 4>get is that he's charging at an official.

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>It's called de escalation.

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 4>Twenty nine free throws to thirteen, and I'm not that coach.

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 4>You can go back in the history. I've done this

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 4>one other time. Our team is competing their asses off,

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 4>competing their asses off, and this is what happens. The

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 4>interactions right now with the officials, complete disrespect.

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's coming.

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 4>It's unbelievable, the looks on the faces when I'm trying

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 4>to engage in conversation to defend our guys that are

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 4>busting their tail right now, busting their tail. And Jaron

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Jackson's one of the most professional guys. And if you

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 4>go watch the play, two possessions in a row, he

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 4>gets hacked underneath the basket.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Zero free throw attempts.

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm not trying to put a name on a jersey,

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.319
<v Speaker 4>and this guy should earn these fouls and all this stuff.

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Watch the game. Twenty nine free.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 4>Throws to basically like there was seven, and then at

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 4>the end of the game a few more added. I

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 4>don't understand it when guys are competing their tails off

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.199
<v Speaker 4>and we got stuff we can clean up. Sometimes we're grabbing,

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 4>holed in, and one's like, oh man, here in the

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 4>heat of the battle, when conversations are trying to be had,

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 4>notices trying to be made on things that are happening,

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 4>and there's not the enforcement of it.

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 1>It blows my mind. What are we doing here? What

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 1>are we doing?

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Our guys are competing their tails off. We gotta play better,

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 4>we gotta coach better, we gotta play better. But I

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 4>don't get tonight whatsoever.

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Again.

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna go back to the interactions stern, nothing, stonewall, ignoring,

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 4>and then you wonder why guys are trying to compete.

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is all time, all time, Taylor Jenkins rant.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I could go back and listen to that a million

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 2>more times. He is furious. What I gathered from that

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 2>is that the referees hate the Memphis Grizzlies. Honestly, they

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 2>hate you. They do not have time to be talking

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 2>about your bullshit. Marcus Smart, John Morant, Derrick Rose on

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>this team, and that right there is three strike sh're out.

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>That right there is three strike sho out. I do

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>not recall Taylor Jenkins ever coming out after rest before

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and he's not wrong, Like, have you ever known Taylor

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Jenkins to make waves at all. No, I didn't even

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>think that was I was listening to that on Twitter.

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even think it was Taylor Jenkins. Grizzlies fans

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>can back up this statement as well. Reddit is full

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of posts complaining about reffing before Jenkins weren't on this rant.

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I think this might be a long way coming. I

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>honestly believe that this is a team that is down

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>in the dumps, isn't playing good basketball, and the refs

0:12:58.240 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>are like, you know what, fuck you, you know what,

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you get no calls, You're not getting any free throw attempts.

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>You will be the worst team in the league. No

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>suit for you. Memphis is one third of the way

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>from having John Morant back and have won exactly one game.

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 2>They could very easily be three and seventeen twenty games

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the end of the season. They are facing a very

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>uphill battle to get the six seed. Like and that

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.839
<v Speaker 2>is an understatement, probably and Jaron Jackson now not getting

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 2>any foul calls. Memphis might have one of the most

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 2>brutal schedule of anyone over the next six weeks. They

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 2>play the Red Hot Rockets three times, the Suns twice,

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics, the Wolves, the Lakers, Thunder and the Clippers.

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, this is a team that could be

0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 2>shutting up shop before John Morant even gets back into

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the door. No wonder Taylor Jenisons is losing to Got

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>that one.
