I guess 16 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: the what do you call it? The gimbal, It's a gimbal. 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: Gimbal, yeah, bimble. 18 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: Some people saying I was getting a little seasick and 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: give me both man. 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: We're on the. 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: Sticks tonight for the NBA Cup Championship game. Our immediate reaction. 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: We just got back from the T Mobile Arena, which 23 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: is like literally across the street from our hotel. Spoiler, 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: we're at the park, MGM. It doesn't matter now to 25 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: tell you formerly the Monte Carlo, did you stay on 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: this exact floor when you were here. 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I did have a friend who 28 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: didn't do well gambling. I had a little flashback to 29 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: the windows in each room because he was paying against 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: that when we were getting a little worried. 31 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Wow, okay, DAAs. So we just watched Yannis score twenty 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: six points to go along with nineteen boards Tennis Sis 33 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard out of twenty three points as the Bucks 34 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: won the NBA Cup Championship game. They beat the Thunder 35 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: ninety seven eighty one eighty one points for okay, see, 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: I think their lowest before this game was ninety nine points, 37 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: so this was really bad performance from them offensively, Bucks 38 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: win the Cup though your immediate reaction to. 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: This, well, I'll start by saying how close we were 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 3: to the Bucks bench because we came into this game 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: having been by the Bucks bench. We got some good 42 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: seats in the semifinal, and then we said, oh, it'll 43 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: be nice to be by the other bench. Luckily it 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: was by the Bucks bench because Gianas came off the 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: floor after winning. Well, you know when he was out 46 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: was the last time two or three minutes last? Yeah, 47 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: he was oh wow, he was giving the five hundred 48 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 3: signal to his younger players. We won five hundred thousand 49 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 3: dollars for you guys, Actually it's five hundred thousand and 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: one hundred and fourteen thousand, nine and seventy one. 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the br I went up. 52 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was doing it to Liam Robbins 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: in the twenty five year old. 54 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 55 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: We had to look it up, but he was. He 56 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: didn't stop. He kept going more possessions after possession after possession. 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 3: He was still pumped, going up to Doc Rivers, going 58 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: up to everybody. He was so jacked that felt it 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: felt like an NBA Finals at times, the way he 60 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: was excited, the way he grabbed the mic and could 61 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: stop talking. It was an impressive game. I don't want 62 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: to get into that guys who I wish were playing, 63 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: but it would have been nice for Thunder to have 64 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: check Holmgrid in this scenario where Yannis was a monster 65 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: backup center. Would have been nice against the Brook and 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: Yavis combo. 67 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: Because okay, see went small a lot of this game. Yeah, 68 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Hartenstein started on fire. He had fourteen points 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: in the first half. The floater was dropping. He was 70 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: sort of dinking and dumping his way all night. And 71 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: then it went cold, and then we saw the Thunder 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: go small for periods of this game, and they couldn't 73 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: hit a three to save their life in it. I mean, 74 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: I hate to do this for every NBA game, it 75 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: feels like, but it's like, Bucks hit seventeen threes, Thunder 76 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: hit five five. 77 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: And one of them was in garbage time. 78 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's fifty five to fifteen difference. 79 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, from this was an incredible defensive performance from the Bucks. 80 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: I think it. 81 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 4: Probably we know it's the lowest scoring game that Okac 82 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: has had this year. This is probably the best defensive 83 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 4: game that the Bucks have played. Yeah, Hartenstein hit a 84 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: ton of floaters in the first half. Guess what he 85 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 4: didn't do? 86 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 2: Dunk? How many dunks did he have against Houston? 87 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 4: He dominated the Peyton that game, but between Brook Lopez, 88 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 4: Bobby Portis and Giannis being near the rim, it was 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 4: floaters only for Hartenstein and that didn't turn into quite 90 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: enough points. Then they couldn't hit threes, which you know, 91 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 4: obviously hurts when you're a driving kick team that's trying 92 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: to play small. But they also did a great job 93 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 4: making things impossible for Shae Gill. Just Alexander shot a 94 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 4: terrible percentage, but most importantly, only got to the pre 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 4: throw line four times. The fact that the Bucks were 96 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: able to defend without fouling was really big in this game. 97 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: They turned the ball over nineteen times Milwaukee did. That's 98 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: a ton of turnovers. Because Okac knows how to get 99 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: in the passing leanes, they get a ton of deflections. 100 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: Only turned into eleven points though for Oka. 101 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 4: See because Milwaukee was adamant about getting back on defense. 102 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 4: That's how you know they're locked into this game. They're 103 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: playing hard and they wanted it for the Cup. You 104 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: saw the huge high five between Doc Rivers and Gianna Saietekoopa, 105 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 4: Like you could tell this was a major moment for 106 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: the Bucks, who had a weird year last year, a 107 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 4: weird start to the season this year, then turned it 108 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: around once the Cup came. Yana said in the postgame, 109 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: our chemistry is the best it's been since Dame has 110 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 4: been here. 111 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: You can tell it. 112 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: They were all pulling together tonight and that's why they 113 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 4: took down the Thunder pretty easily in the second half. 114 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, last year was the first time that the Jannison 115 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: Dame got together. They obviously lost in the semifinal in 116 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: the nd season tournament and then the playoffs went terribly, 117 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 3: so this what was their new finals for them until 118 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: they get to the playoffs. But this is huge for 119 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 3: them and for them to do it together. It is 120 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: unfortunate that Shay started missing shots because after the first 121 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: quarter it was a one point game, and Shaye was 122 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,359 Speaker 3: four of nine through the first quarter ten points. But 123 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 3: even the misses were rattlers that rattled in and now, 124 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 3: and he threw up one airball. So the question was 125 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: he gonna slow down, and he obviously slowed down the 126 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: rest of the way, four or fifteen the rest of 127 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: the way. So eight of twenty four overall, just twenty 128 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: one points. He just misshot. I mean he was open 129 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: a lot of them. Obviously a great defense by the 130 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: Bucks to not foul him one percent. That's one hundred 131 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 3: percent true. This game got super physical on both sides, and. 132 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 4: Yeah that the Bucks were bigger and more physical in 133 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 4: this game, and it got completely under ok See's skin. 134 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 4: It looked like in the third quarter you don't see 135 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 4: Mark Dignall pick up technicals all that often. 136 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: Who else got one? Was it caseon Wallace? I think was? 137 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: I don't know what it was, but he was involved 138 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 4: in them or I guess it was dort right that 139 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 4: dove on the ground and I think Giannis came over 140 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 4: the top album, which is hilarious to see considering the 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: way the Thunder or yeah, the way the Rockets versus 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 4: Warriors game ended, like if that one's not called a foul. 143 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 4: Steve Kerr I think had a beef. But it seemed 144 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: to me that Okay See was a little bit too small, 145 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 4: and you know, Milwaukee just played a tougher style and 146 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 4: they were more bringing the fight to Oka See in 147 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 4: this one, and it looked like the Thunder just thought 148 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: they would eventually start rolling, eventually start making threes. 149 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: They went one for seventeen from three in the first half. 150 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: That's kind of the same thing to happen against the Rockets, 151 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 4: but they caught fire in the second half. 152 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: It just never happened. 153 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: And I have to admit I was guilty of like 154 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: when we at half it was a one point game 155 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: and you told me, you're like the Thunder of hit 156 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: like one to three, and I'm like, oh, that means 157 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna crush him in the second half. Like if 158 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: it's a one point game in half, and they haven't 159 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: been doubleated a three. It's like they're gonna unlock that, 160 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: and they just never could and never did, and obviously 161 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: then got sort of steamroll. They scored thirty one points 162 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: in the second half. I mean, it was a low 163 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: scoring second half, forty six to thirty one for Milwaukee 164 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: to get it done, to run away with the ninety 165 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: seven and eighty one win. What did you think about 166 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: the starting lineup? Like, no Middleton for the Bucks, so 167 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: there's that, But then Isaiah Joe starts, and then a 168 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: couple of guys came off the bench before Caruso. I 169 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: guess it was Kenrich Williams case and Wallace Cruz was 170 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: the eighth man. And then Cruise a lot of time 171 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: on Giannis and actually obviously plays them strong, plays them hard, 172 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: they send bodies at him. First half, it was working 173 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: really well. Yanna still gets his points, he still gets 174 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: his stats, but like quiet in a weird way. And 175 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: then obviously still finishes with a good game with the 176 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: triple double Monster triple double, and then obviously goes on 177 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: to win MVP of the whole day and tournament. But 178 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: what did you think the way they played him in 179 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: the way Dagna called this game in terms of his 180 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: sort of bench lineups and even that thing going small 181 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: a lot against this team. 182 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, he got it started. It seemed like he started slowly, 183 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: had six points in the first score. And then Caruso 184 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 3: comes off the bench, and it was fun from our 185 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: angle to see Alex Caruso versus Yannis because he was 186 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 3: getting in the right position. He was physical as hell, 187 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: bumping ya as much as possible. This is the spot 188 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: where they definitely missed chet Hoolmgrin. They missed the combo 189 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 3: of chet Hoolmgrin and Isaiah Hartstein, that is for sure. 190 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,479 Speaker 3: But yeah, the size Yannis is gonna go hard at everybody. 191 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: And as I said, quiet first quarter, but he just 192 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: got louder and louder and louder as the game went on. 193 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,359 Speaker 3: I would love to see a healthy Thunder team against 194 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: the Bucks in a seven game set. 195 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see two games later this year. 196 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, February March. 197 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: I think they play these two teams hopefully their full strength. 198 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 3: Right right right, and we're going to see okay See 199 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: and Cleveland twice in January that they flexed the schedule 200 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: to get okay See on those national televised games, so 201 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: it'll be exciting all that to say okay See was 202 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 3: a little too small there, there's no doubt about that. 203 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: It's I mean, we got to see bodies flying as 204 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: he was able to go into guys over and over 205 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: and over again. 206 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 4: They were trying to outmath them. That's why Isaiah Joe 207 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: got the start. They're trying to get more shooting on 208 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 4: the court. That's why it's Joe instead of Case and Wallace. 209 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: They don't necessarily need all of their perimeter defenders out 210 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 4: there for a team that's going to be mainly Dame 211 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: from the perimeter, so you only need the one guy 212 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 4: U or Jalen Williams can then take Yannis. 213 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: So they're trying to game the system and get more 214 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: threes up. 215 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,119 Speaker 4: But those guys then have to make threes because otherwise, 216 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 4: playing small, you just don't have a chance against a 217 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: team like the Bucks, who's gonna be getting the ball inside. 218 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 4: And the playmaking from Giannis was incredible. Ten asists from 219 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 4: this guy, because okay See was packing the paint just 220 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 4: like Milwaukee was doing against the Thunder, but Giannis has 221 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 4: sprang it out. 222 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: And everybody was hitting four Milwaukee. Darry Byrd hit three. 223 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 4: Pat Connenton got dusted off and made some plays in 224 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 4: this game. Bobby Portis was fine, Adrian I already said 225 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 4: Darry Green, garyy Trent Junior. 226 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 2: Y Trent Junior. 227 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 4: Everybody was shooting well and Giannis was doing a good 228 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: job of getting people involved. And it felt like anytime 229 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: the Bucks stalled out a little bit, Dame would make 230 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: a play. Yeah, he had a pretty quiet game for 231 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 4: his score and twenty something. 232 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had twenty three, four and four. He had 233 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: five threes, though, and some of those were like those 234 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: like back breaks, sort of backbreaking threes where it's like 235 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: there's nothing happening, there's no offense. It's give the ball 236 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: to Dame and he'll just get You can get a 237 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: st step back on anybody. He creates a space. He 238 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: has that hardened ligability, and he hit a couple that 239 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: were like, oh, you can see okay. He was like, damn, 240 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: we played good defense for twenty seconds and then he 241 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: just splashed the three. He hit the one in the corner. 242 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: He went up top deep, you know, bomb up top, 243 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: and those were those were huge, especially in a night 244 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: where okay, so you could. 245 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 3: Not hit and. 246 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: Nobody was hitting three. No, she hit two of the 247 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: five threes, and he shot two and nine from deep. 248 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, as you were going through the guys who are 249 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 3: expected to hit threes, Isaia Joe entered into the starting lineup. Okay, 250 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: maybe he'll have a quiet night, sure, but lou Dort, 251 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 3: you expect hit them three yeah, a super quiet night. 252 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: One yes, and so there just wasn't any well, dame. 253 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: Although he left the last game, or excuse me, he 254 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 3: didn't leave the last game, but the semi final game 255 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 3: he felt his calf get a little tight. He didn't 256 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: practice yesterday. He said, it's fine, it wasn't that bad. 257 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 3: I'm playing tomorrow. There was a love the step back. 258 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: This is freaking awesome. Game on that one in the 259 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: corner was so good, but a quiet yes, six made 260 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 3: shots but able to drop twenty three. Yeah. I mean 261 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 3: the guy that needed to step up, I if Shaye 262 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: wasn't gonna be clicking was Jalen Williams, who looked good 263 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: at times, but he just didn't have enough either. You know, 264 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: going to eight of twenty in this game, there wasn't enough. 265 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 3: You expect one of those guys to do it. 266 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: And that's usually what the Thunder are expecting. Yes, one 267 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: or two of those guys are gonna get open. Looks 268 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: because of Shay getting into the pain. 269 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: Kicking out, which would have been you know, it would 270 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: have been night. It would have been chet I'm sure 271 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 3: starting in this lineup with hart andshein against Brooke and Giannis. 272 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: But yeah, arms side looked awesome. The floaters were going. 273 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: He did have two passes go through his hands, so 274 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: that looked odd. 275 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. So do you think after this cup run how 276 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: they looked after the two and eight start, like you 277 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: said and all that, like Bucks title contenders? Like are 278 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: they in that tier to you now? Like are they 279 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: with the Celtics? Are they with maybe the Thunder in 280 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: the West? Where you ever you put the Calves league 281 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: in all honesty, Like, where do you put the Bucks 282 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: now in the ranking of all the teams in the NBA. 283 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 4: Well, I mean they're still far behind the Celtics in 284 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference. I don't think they're necessarily where the 285 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 4: Calves are. I think they're in the same region as 286 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 4: like the Calves the Knicks. 287 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 2: I would throw the Bucks in there. 288 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 4: That's probably second tier, in the second tier in the 289 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 4: Eastern Conference. But like they've got a shot depending on 290 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 4: how everybody else's help turns out. To be a top 291 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: four seed in the Eastern Conference. I still think is 292 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 4: a reasonable expectation for them. But it's a lot easier 293 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 4: to win one game than it is to win a 294 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 4: seven game playoff series. But this is a nice matchup 295 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: for okay See as well, or for Milwaukee as well. 296 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 4: When you flash back to okay See losing in the 297 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 4: playoffs against Dallas, it's because Dallas shot better and was 298 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 4: more physical inside. 299 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: That's what happened tonight. 300 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: Yeah they agree with that. Well, Yeah, the last time 301 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 3: they played okay See last season when everybody was playing, 302 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 3: Milwaukee beat them by double digits. Bucks won by twenty five. 303 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 3: I should say that was a monster and Shay was 304 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 3: really quiet that game for some and. 305 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: It was one of his rare quiet games all season 306 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: if I remember. 307 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 3: Yeah total points yeah yeah, yeah. 308 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Twelve points. It must have been like one of the 309 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: worst teams was here. 310 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: Only three free throws. So similar story to tonight. So 311 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see them play twice. As you said, 312 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: I will say, yeah, the Bucks are on that in 313 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 3: that second tier of the Eastern Conference because it is 314 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: different playing two months of playoffs versus playing a couple 315 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: of games here. I mean those are long series. Are 316 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: the Bucks one of the older teams in the NBA 317 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: fresh and you are they able to play through each series? 318 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: That's that's the question. Who saw the Lakers win the 319 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 3: NBA Cup last year? 320 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: Okay? 321 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: After winning, Yeah, this is there's Doc Daca is saying, yeah, 322 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 3: are we going to on our back to back that 323 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 3: they have to play Friday Saturday? How are we gonna play? 324 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: Are we gonna have a little drop off just emotionally 325 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 3: after winning the I want to call it the title 326 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 3: of it is the big moment here for December. 327 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: They won money, that's for sure. 328 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 329 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: They in a game that does not count against the statistics. Yeah, 330 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: which is very funny. 331 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: Still, Yes, is so proud of his guys. I've never 332 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 3: heard again just grab a mic and talk for that 333 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: long after the game, he just kept on going on 334 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 3: and on and that they're twelve and four in their 335 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: last sixteen games. I mean, even though this game doesn't count, 336 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: so it doesn't count for oh case, he's poorest game 337 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 3: of the season. You know, ninety nine is their highest. 338 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: There was a lower season. Just doesn't matter. 339 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 3: Doesn't count. But yeah, are the Bucks able to handle 340 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 3: a two months stretch? It's freaking long. 341 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: Well, you were saying, you were already calling your shot 342 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: that the Warriors are going to win the NBA Cup 343 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: next year. 344 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: That's right. 345 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: And explain for the people why. 346 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 4: The twenty twenty Lakers won the championship and then three 347 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 4: years later they won the NBA Cup. Correct, the twenty 348 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 4: twenty one Bucks won the championship. Three years later they 349 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 4: won the NBA Cup for twenty twenty four. So next year, 350 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 4: the Golden State Warriors who won in twenty twenty two, 351 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 4: their due to win in twenty five. Because old teams 352 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: they might not be able to win the championship, but 353 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: they can get up for one game. Championship squads know 354 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: how to produce in a much must win game. They 355 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 4: beat the younger teams both times, right, Like it was 356 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 4: the Pacers last year, it was the Thunder this year. 357 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 4: And which team looked better the old guys. 358 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: Now, of course they do have to trade for Torrian Prince, 359 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: maybe get darvd Ham on the staff. That help. That 360 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: is a part of the equation. Nevertheless, both those guys 361 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: fourteen and oh now NBA Cup play which is a 362 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: funny stat Torrian Prince. Well, I was gonna say fourteen 363 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: to oh, but almost that doesn't count. I guess they're 364 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: twelve to zero. Officially. 365 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: Well, I mean officially we can't count the plays a 366 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: cup game. It's officially a cup game. Oh, but the. 367 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: Stats don't count from most we can't give his averages 368 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: for the Yeah. 369 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 3: Anyway, Torrian Prince is kind of the new Danny Green. 370 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: We're gonna win with three teams different. 371 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: Oh, teams should be going crazy to get Torrian Prince. 372 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna win five hundred thousand dollars plus get him 373 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: on the roster, kind never loses. 374 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 4: They a cool nickname for him, the five hundred thousand 375 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 4: dollars man. Six points and two assists in this championship game, 376 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 4: six points and two assists in last championship. 377 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: Lock it in for the Golden State Warriors. 378 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 3: I mean it's a good thing. When you mentioned Torrian Prince, 379 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: I think if Doc rivers going to him after one 380 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 3: particular play, and I mentioned that because the Bucks were 381 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 3: just good at communicating throughout the game and getting mad, 382 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 3: and Doc and Dame were communicating on what he should 383 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 3: have done. He thought Dame should have rotated on a 384 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 3: play up top that he stayed in the corner and 385 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 3: watched Gianni stew his thay, Like, I say all that 386 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: because they are communicating extremely well and they're after each other. Yeah, 387 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 3: and as we said last game in the semifinals, how 388 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: they were all over Chris Middleton and what he should 389 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: be doing. And I do wonder if Chris Milton continues 390 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 3: to come off the bench for the foreseeable future, just 391 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 3: because he's their playmaker coming off the bench. But anyway, 392 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: it was surprising to see him off and everybody produced. 393 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: Like Gary Trent I thought would not come out for 394 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 3: the second half on the floor just because he wasn't 395 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 3: great in the first half, and bam, you know, multiple threes, 396 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: a double digit scoring night. Pat Conaton also limited plays. 397 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: He didn't make a few plays, but he did what 398 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: he had to do, driving in from the corner a 399 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 3: couple times and making great play. So anyways, the Bucks 400 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 3: are all Some of. 401 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: Those guys that came off the bench were positive players 402 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: as the worst as plus one. But Bobby was good, 403 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: you said aj Green Garret. They were all positive in 404 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: this game, which was ultimately a low scoring game. So 405 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: Giannis wins MVP of the NBA Cup, the whole thing, 406 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: just like Lebron did last year. So I guess, obviously, 407 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: go with Steph Curry next year. 408 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 4: Giannas may have raised more trophies than anybody in NBA 409 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 4: history now that I'm thinking about it, like different ones. 410 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done all of that. 411 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: He's been the most improved player, which like a guy 412 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 4: like Lebron has never done. 413 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 2: He's got a Defensive Player of the Year. Lebron has 414 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 2: never done that. Damn. I'm talking about pure So that's 415 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: a variety of trophies. 416 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 3: That's good. 417 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: This is good. This is a good NBA short right now. 418 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: So he has he's raised six total trophies, go through them. 419 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: M VP of the League, yes, Finals, MVP of course, 420 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: the championship title, now Cup title, Cup m v P. 421 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: And then you said most Improved. 422 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 4: Improved, Defensive Player of the Year and All Star MVP 423 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 4: and All Star m v P eight yep. I mean 424 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: there might be there might be somebody who's won a 425 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: three point contest who could get in the mix, but we'd. 426 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: Have to go back and check. 427 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it doesn't count. You win four m vps 428 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: like Lebron. 429 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 2: No, No, damn don't come on, it's gotta be just even. 430 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: Eight different trophies. 431 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: That's a lot, it's a ton. 432 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Lebron hasn't won, obviously. 433 00:19:59,440 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: Lebron has been. 434 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: Two of those are almost too good. 435 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Wow. I keep refreshing the NBA communications 436 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: Twitter account to find out who the old tournament team is, 437 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: and they will not announce it. We are going live 438 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: too quickly after the game. 439 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: That's what I get it. 440 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 3: But is it a guarantee that they're announcing one? 441 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, for sure. 442 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 3: Okay, I know that for sure. 443 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: So it's going to be honest, it's going to be Dame. 444 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: He'll be on the team, for sure. It's going to 445 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: be SGA. As one of the other people who are 446 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: the final two. 447 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 4: I think Trey Young will make it. He had thirty 448 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 4: five and ten in uh the semi finals despite the loss. 449 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, and then who's the fifth guy? 450 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: I think they'll give some love to a rocket? 451 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: Could it be? Could it be like Jalen Williams probably 452 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: has pretty good stats over the whole thing, obviously getting. 453 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: Good in the semi final. Yeah yeah, maybe he scored 454 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 2: over twenty and. 455 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't know. Right now, I can't 456 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: find it. I'll do one more refreshed on NBA dot com. 457 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why they're taking so long. But as 458 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: I said, John, it's got MVP twenty people vote for this. 459 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: It's a lot, so hard. 460 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: They vote for the finals MVP nine. 461 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 3: Yet nine much more exclusive, very exclusive. 462 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 1: But we go twenty on the Cup. But he got 463 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: every vote, and rightfully so. 464 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: Las Vegas man excess everything, so weird, weird, weird. 465 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: Okay, here's a question, because we were there and had 466 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: good seats again or third row, what do you think 467 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: of the crowd tonight? And again we don't know how 468 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: it comes across on TV, but your experience sitting there, 469 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: what do you think? Were they into it? 470 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 2: I was dead. 471 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: I saw some people tweeting that it was loud on television. 472 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: And that's good because it felt that way in person. 473 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 3: Yes, the NBA the NBA Cup Finals was better than 474 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: the NBA Cup semi finals. There's no doubt. In terms 475 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: of crowds, it was buzzier. It felt like more of 476 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: an event. Yeah, I agree, absolutely. I thought that was 477 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: the case, and I thought that's why it's very likely 478 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: that we'll see the NBA Cup Final here in Las 479 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: Vegas again, but the semifinals I do think will be 480 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: in the arena of the home teams interesting, which is 481 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: deserving in my opinion, to give them that game which 482 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 3: is counts as a regular season game. 483 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: And it's true, and that's why, that's why the final 484 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: really can't the final has to be in a neutral site. 485 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: When you think about it, the eighty third game doesn't count. Yeah, 486 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: it just feels like the fans deserve to be cheering 487 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 3: for their home team in an important game, and the 488 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 3: buzz wasn't here as much in Las Vegas, which I 489 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: don't think will ever happen. 490 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 4: So it's a long trip, Like it's five days is 491 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 4: a long time in Las Vegas, the week before the holidays. 492 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you. 493 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 2: Would have to book your flight. 494 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 4: Like if you're coming as a fan of just one 495 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 4: of these teams, you're like, I'm gonna wait and see 496 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 4: if my team makes it. You have to wait and 497 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 4: see if they win the quarter final, then you book 498 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 4: a five days rep not knowing if your team's even 499 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 4: gonna make it finals. If you do it the other way, 500 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 4: you could wait and be like Okay, I'm only going 501 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 4: to the finals. The thunder made it. I'm flying out. 502 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you could put the finals on a 503 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: Saturday night or a Sunday too, is what you would 504 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: properly do. Well, what can't do Sunday football can't do that. 505 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: But it's Saturday Saturday. And it was buzzing. But for 506 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: the fans, maybe you win in your home court in 507 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 3: the semifinals to go to the NBA Cup Final, maybe 508 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: five of those fans that our season seed holders to 509 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 3: Las Vegas or something. I don't know. There's some cool 510 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 3: thing that they could why not. 511 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, like almost sort of like a college atmosphere that 512 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: they you know, they give a sign a section for 513 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: the obviously students, I guess in that case, but yeah, 514 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: could do something bad idea. 515 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I do agree. 516 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 3: Its more hyped than the semi final. 517 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: For sure. 518 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: It was. 519 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: It was buzzing. 520 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: We were also hyped. 521 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: We saw Boston Rob. Yeah, Boston Rob first survivor fans 522 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: out there. Obviously, he's a legend of the game. He 523 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: played five times, four times, well. 524 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 2: He played five times, and he was on that other 525 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 2: time when they made a giant statue. 526 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, true, true. So anyways on it a 527 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: lot did win it once. He was two rows in 528 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: front of us, and oh yeah, the no bus boys popped. 529 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: We were more excited to see him. 530 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 4: Than any other literally, anybody like Michael Phelps came back. 531 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 4: I was like, oh cool, Michael Phelps. Sure he's won 532 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 4: twenty something Golden rob one Survivor. 533 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: One time, and we were going crazy got with him. 534 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll throw it up here, but absolutely. 535 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 4: That's when Jady knew it was time to go. He 536 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 4: was like, we got our photo with Boston Rob. I'll 537 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 4: see you guys back at the hottime. 538 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 539 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe. None of us asked him, who's gonna 540 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: win this season of Survivor finale coming up? No buffs 541 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: coming up on Thursday. But we were two stars, tres 542 00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: excited stars, trek any other thought on not just this game, 543 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: but the whole NBA Cup experience, TK, Are you a 544 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: fan of it? Do you respect the Cup? Will you 545 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: continue to respect the Cup? 546 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: I love the Cup. 547 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: I want to make love in the Cup. No, that's fun. 548 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 4: Like these games, you can feel it matters more because 549 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: when you are watching another regular season game in December, 550 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 4: you're like, what, the court's so boring, It looks like 551 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 4: would but the games feel like they mean a little 552 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 4: bit more. And even if this game didn't even end 553 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 4: up with a close result, I mean, the thunder were 554 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 4: never close in the second half. 555 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: They never even made a run for me and the wind. 556 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: They had a window there where they were getting stops. 557 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: Yes, and they just could not really they could not ring. 558 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 4: But it was still entertaining and you could tell that 559 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: both teams were locked in trying pretty hard to win 560 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 4: this game. 561 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: So I was enjoying the game tonight. 562 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 3: No doubt. Yeah, for sure. 563 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 564 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: The only disappointing thing is we didn't see it closed 565 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 3: because the Bucks are so focused on fourth quarters. They 566 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 3: hammered the Hawks fourteen seven that game. Just wanted to 567 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 3: see them do it again against Okay, So obviously it's 568 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 3: a little disappointing, but yes, it means more players here 569 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: in December. Yes, Yis didn't stop flexing with the trophy. Afterward, 570 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 3: he was like he was like, yeah, roaming around. Well yeah, 571 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 3: well they were trying to like talk. 572 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 4: They were talking to Doc Rivers and he was dancing 573 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 4: around with the cup in front there, and everybody was like, 574 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 4: give him space let him go and then. 575 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: Didn't Silver on the mic says like he was trying 576 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: to go through Yanni's accolades and he was like he's 577 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: throwing up the two two m vps. 578 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: Have you heard all the trophies? 579 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: I want most improved? Also, game MVP, come. 580 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 3: On, keeping keep going. When we record the short, you 581 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 3: just gotta put Yannis in there just to say I 582 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: got more than more than that, more than that. 583 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: Okay, here's maybe an insane question because the game doesn't 584 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: actually technically count. Did did Yiannis jump up your m 585 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: VP rankings from this performance and this and this cup run? Like? 586 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: Where do you have him? I guess is my question? 587 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: Do you have Joker one? Still? Did he jump over SGA? 588 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: Is he still four or five? Three? Like where do 589 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: you put him? 590 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 2: He's top three for me? 591 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 4: I think what Janis has done after the Bucks came 592 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 4: out of the gates poorly, he put the team on 593 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 4: his back and said, this isn't happening and that's what 594 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 4: it's been so bad, And like what thirty five points 595 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 4: a game on sixty five percent shooting? Basically with the 596 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 4: playmaking he brings. I don't necessarily know if I think 597 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 4: Yannis is the defender he was when he won Defensive 598 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 4: Player of the Year, but he's a more impactful defender 599 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 4: than Jokic's and probably even more so than shake Gilges 600 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 4: Alexander those Shea is part of a great defensive team, 601 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 4: getting a ton of steels and deflections. Jannis is still awesome, 602 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 4: and he proved it this weekend blocking the alley oops. 603 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 4: He had I think another three blocks tonight. They were 604 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 4: all emphatic. Yeah, he's been incredible and if somebody were 605 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 4: to put him at the top of their MVP straphole, 606 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 4: I wouldn't argue with it. 607 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: No. 608 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 4: I mean, Jokic's numbers are kind of undeniable when you're 609 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 4: breaking it down, but what ya has done for his 610 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 4: team I think is super bow. 611 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of similarities when you think of 612 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: it too. Jokic like that Denver started struggling and he 613 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: sort of seemed to be like, Okay, I guess I 614 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: have to do a bit of more than I want to. 615 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: I gotta like raise my game. That's not dissimilar to 616 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: what Giannis did after the slow start as well. And 617 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, like the funny part is like their records 618 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: not much different than the Denver Nuggets at this point, right, 619 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are just their psycho like that's 620 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: why they're MVP candidates every year because it's like, not 621 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: many guys can do this. It's like, oh, our team 622 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: is struggling. Our team sort of sucks right now. Okay, 623 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: I guess I have to do more, and they have 624 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: the energy in the will to do that, which is nuts. 625 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Yeahsta did not stop you those blocks that 626 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 3: you mentioned, Yeah, the block in the alley and then 627 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 3: he blocked the third string of the Okay, he blocked 628 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 3: a shot. He was still going and as he said, true, 629 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: he said, I feel like I'm the most consistent player 630 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 3: in the NBA, as he told our man Eric Name. 631 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: And it's hard to argue that right now. I mean, 632 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: does this game matter more? Does it? Does it boost things? Look, 633 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 3: I would still take Jokic, but the Jokha Yannis top three, 634 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 3: it's clearly those top three. Anyways, it is early. Things 635 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 3: will change. 636 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll probably do this. 637 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 3: The records matter. It is great for Jokic to have 638 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 3: Jamal Murray looks alive. All of a sudden, he was 639 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: playing his best Basketbain the King. Yes, he was monstrous 640 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 3: in that game, and and Yiannis and Dame have that 641 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: incredible chemistry and Shay, they could finish top in the 642 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: West sixty wins, more than either of these teams that 643 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: we're talking about. So he's going to have an incredible 644 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 3: case obviously. 645 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: Well, the Tim Bontemps ESPN straw Pole coming soon, I assume, 646 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: so we'll see where it ranks up. I think you'll 647 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: getch will be one and then probably honest too, maybe yes, three, 648 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: but we will see. Is it true that the Bucks 649 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: are still undefeated when Fanasis is in attendance? No, that 650 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: is legit. I can never tell if that's like a. 651 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 2: Fight, never gone back in check. 652 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I see the tweets come through after the 653 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 4: winds and Yannis he's a good brother man. 654 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: He hooked his breath. Fanasis off with a shirt and 655 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 2: a hat and respect to the Nazis. 656 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 4: He didn't put it on. Yeah, I was like, he 657 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 4: didn't earn it, But I think he should have them. 658 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 4: You can wear them together a little bit later, like 659 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 4: the camaraderie. And honestly, maybe having him around is good 660 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 4: for the Bucks, like he probably helped Jannis relax. 661 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 2: Somebody to take the pressure off things. You know, I 662 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 2: don't know. The vibes are better when the Nazis is around, 663 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: and it's not like he's just. 664 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: Sitting there chilling like I'm here to watch my That 665 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: guy's into the game more than almost anyone else, including 666 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: like the other Bucks player. 667 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 2: I'm dead. 668 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: Seriously, We're right, We're not far from him. We had 669 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: a you know, sightline right to Fanasis in at one 670 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: corner basically the opposite side of the Bucks bench. He's 671 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: up every play. It feels like like, you know, getting 672 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: into it, encouraging guys. And he's not just encouraging, that's 673 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: the thing. He's like talking to other guys on the 674 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: Bucks bench like he's like sort of a just a 675 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: hype coach. And I guess they're undefeated when he's there. 676 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: So what's more powerful Torrian Prince and Darvin Ham on 677 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: your team and cup play or the Nassis or we 678 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: need to see them like on opposite side like that. 679 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: We really need Torrian princes and Darbenham on the Warriors 680 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: next year, and then the Nasi's there and attendance free, honest, 681 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: in a finals game, that would be the ultimate battle. 682 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: Any other thoughts before we wrap this up. 683 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 3: That was interesting. I think the Natis wore the same 684 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 3: thing for the semi final and the final. 685 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's interesting, like lucky underwear type scenario. 686 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 3: I don't know if you were the same. Just track 687 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 3: fants and a simple white tea. 688 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: Wait, a black sea on tonight. Okay, one more refer 689 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: for the old tournament team. 690 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tap dance for you while you're refreshing. 691 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: Well, they're not releasing it. 692 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 4: So dairy Bird hit a three in the second half 693 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 4: and we milk the utters in his dance and it 694 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: felt cool like to actually do it. I think it 695 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 4: would be Day would be the man with the utters 696 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 4: right like he would be the one. And then I'd 697 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 4: like to see a Bobby Portis or something. Yeah, yeah, 698 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 4: maybe whoever like passes it out to. I mean, AJ 699 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 4: Green is not creating a lot of his own threes. 700 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 4: They're usually off the pass. That'd be a great like 701 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 4: team celebration. 702 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: Milk me. 703 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: Okay, maybe we don't even need how about okay, how 704 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: about this maybe the second guy, because when I do 705 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: it to you it does feel a little funny. Maybe 706 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: dairy Bird goes like this and then goes like this. 707 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: And everybody else goes from afar. Yes, that's better. 708 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: That's the move. The whole bench going like this would 709 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: be pretty funny.
