WEBVTT - Draymond Green still doesn't get it; MIP check-in; Beef Stew; LeBron-Warriors rumors 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.360 On this episode of the Eat Check. It's NBA All 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.200 Star weekend, but we still got a lot of shit 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.279 to cover, folks, like what the fuck is happening with 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.280 the Golden State Warriors right now and in the future. 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.560 We even got some rumors servicing that our dogs tried 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.559 trading for Lebron Jains at the deadline. You don't say 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.040 we break it all down. We dig into lots of 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.280 news from around the league, including beefs do sucker punching, 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.599 the ten Day God, Drew eu Banks, Steph Curry has 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:46.720 a new sitcom, and how egregiously bad NBA refs are 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.760 all year. But right now too, let's get right into it. 0:00:49.800 --> 0:01:04.319 Anthony drop that motherfucking beat, which should be ren So 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.759 Indianapolis All Star kind of dope considering the tyrese Haliburton 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.720 is a first time All Star, probably gonna be All 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.720 NBA guy, so congratulations to him. Indiana is considered one 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.440 of the meccas, if not the Mecca of basketball, so 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.120 it kind of fucking dope. We're gonna save that talk though, 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.399 until Monday and the recap show, And until then we've 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.319 got some additional stories that I don't want you to miss. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:35.040 Specifically specifically regarding those are words Golden State. This has 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.840 been a bizarre year. It really has. First of all, 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.280 since Draymond's return, they played well, and so is he. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.920 He's averaged nine to eight and seven with two point 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:49.040 two stock stocks stalks per game. More importantly, the Warriors 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.400 are playing well since he's come back. They're winning games 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.680 since he's come back. They're eight and four since his return. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.880 But if you think things are going well completely for 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.840 our dubs, I hate to alarm you, but they are not. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.680 First of all, I think Draymond Green might be losing 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.440 it again. This man does not look like the eyes 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.960 of someone who's in therapy. I saw that highlight the 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.919 other night and he flashed his four rings and then 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.520 it looked like he was trying to threaten to shank somebody. 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.519 I don't know what even he was doing. And then 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.959 he stuck his tongue out fully out of his mouth 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.280 and walked back. I don't really know what's going on. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.040 During the run of play, he fell to the ground, 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.639 flopped to the ground after getting hit by a zubox, 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.200 and I think he was almost dead for two to 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.519 three entire plays. Remember when Draymond came on his podcast 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.440 and said he was done with the antics. He is 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.400 not done with the antics at all. Keep in mind 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:53.399 this happened after another run in with Usuf Nurkic where 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.359 they traded off. This is so bummy and so corny. 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:03.520 Two small gestures and then elbows, and then afterwards Nurkic 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.400 decided he was going to eviscerate him in the post game, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.400 saying Draymond didn't learn anything. It's just a matter of time. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.760 He's gonna hit somebody else again. I take back everything 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:19.160 I said. He don't deserve a chance. Draymond, you might imagine, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.680 took that instride. No, no, of course he didn't. This 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:23.520 is what he had to say. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.799 The little guy then goes, like I say, went into 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.280 the media complaining like I did something to him, as 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.680 if he didn't do the too small celebration. And then 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.600 he starts to question my character. What a coward you 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:41.080 go questioning character about a basketball game that you just lost, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.160 that you got destroyed, and the only thing you should 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.880 talk about is how you got punished. Fifteen nine and 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:51.640 seven fifteen seven and nine, um and you finished with 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.840 him Easley six six and four four insists is a 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.240 bright spot for him, So I'll give him that. Um, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.640 but six and six and then you go to the 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:04.720 media and cry like. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:10.240 That, Anthony the producer. Here, Draymond continues to ramble and 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.480 rant about his retelling of the stories, which obviously you 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.240 would guess is very positive towards Draymond. We will pick 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.440 things up here from what Draymond actually meant with this 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:23.480 entire spiel. 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.599 Not very surprised that he went to the media and 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.719 said what he said, because that's the same guy that 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.680 laid out on the floor when I made counts. Bro, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.839 you three hundred pounds, get up off the floor, bro, 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.560 And he actually didn't lay out on the floor like that. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.440 I actually don't get the suspension that I got, probably, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.039 but dude laid out like he was dead. That same 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.640 guy didn't goes and say he doesn't deserve another chance. 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:47.240 How Bro. 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.200 What an embarrassment, and they expect to win with that guy. 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.359 My goodness, it kind of does feel like we're a 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:01.560 few games from another Draymond meltdown. If that was the 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.440 sole problem with our dubs, then that would be life 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.600 as usual, right, Like that would be what we've been 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.200 dealing with for the last year. In change. But they 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.960 also and they have had it, but it's getting worse now. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.599 They've got a Klay Thompson problem as well. On Wednesday, 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.320 the Warriors were in the process of booting another late 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.240 game lead against the Clippers. Klay Thompson was watching the 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:31.600 disaster unfold from the bench when for some reason, Steve 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.240 caur Loss has goddamn mind and inserted him into the 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.200 lineup forty eight seconds left in the game. Podds, who 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.839 is probably my favorite new Warrior Kids of Three, cuts 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.560 the lead down to one possession, thirty nine seconds left 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:51.440 to go, and then inexplicably, Klay Thompson just fouls Russell 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.320 Westbrook on the inbounds pass and we get free throws 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.160 and that's all she wrote. Steve Kerr was like after 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.560 the game, Oh no, so that was a very obvious 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.880 non foul scenario. That was a time where you defend. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.599 It's a one possession game, you rebound the ball, and 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.160 you get back and you try to tie this thing up. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.960 Steph reached out to him to try to give him 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.760 a low five, high five, and Clay blew right through 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.320 it like a ring through a leaky roof. Just fuck you. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.920 I don't care. You try to, You just I don't 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.479 know what is going on there. There are consequences in 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.440 this league for that type of play, and what are 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.279 those consequences for normal players, not superstar players, which Clay 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.200 is no longer in the superstar caliber where Well, Thursday's 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.400 game against the Jazz, Steve Kerr decided first time since 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.359 Clay's rookie season, Klay Thompson will be coming off the bench, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:51.000 first time since twenty twelve. But because it's the Warriors, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.240 they turn adversity into a superpower. Don't know how they 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.560 do it. Like Draymond Green said, I think the fact 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.120 that I got suspended made us a deeper team because 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.280 Guy's got to develop a little bit. So Klay Thompson bench, 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:09.760 Clay turns into prime MJ balls out. He had thirty 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:14.120 five points in three quarters, seventeen in the first half alone, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.920 and I want to say seven threes as of the 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.040 time that I'm recording this. Two things to make of 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:24.720 all of this, First, Golden State, despite the recent run, 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.280 is very mid. They're not a good team. Even Steph 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.280 Curry knows it. He said, we are very average, and 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.480 very average does not get it done in this League. 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.200 Thank god someone on this team sees it. And if 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:43.600 you didn't have depression yet, as our Dubs fan, well, 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.480 Joe Lacomb said this on Tim Kawakami's podcast on the 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:51.640 Odyssey app that will make you potentially shit your pants. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.240 He says, our plan one A is that we'd actually 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.240 like to be out of the luxury text and we 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.800 think we have a way to do that. I okay, 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.040 I think I know what way that is. That kind 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.880 of is the plan, not just out of the second apron. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:07.880 That's important because the truth is we need to be 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.600 out of the tax two years out of the next 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.640 four in order to get this repeater tax thing off 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.760 of our books. We don't want to be a repeater. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.520 It's just so prohibitive. Not to say we wouldn't do 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.520 it if we had to, but you gotta look at 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.080 what the downside is to doing that. Clay Baby, get 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.000 ready for the veteran minimum, get ready for the mid 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.520 level exception, rot Row. If you thought Steve, if you 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.800 thought Joe lacub was going to go Steve Cohen and 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.360 try to squeeze out a chip or two out of 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.439 Steph Curry when we know that it's not happening. Think again, 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.120 he is going to be looking to shed salary, shed salary. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.400 That's hard to say too, Clay Thompson, you're gone, baby. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.679 We are not gone, but getting paid extra money. Gone. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.679 Tough sledding ahead for our dubs. What does it mean 0:08:55.720 --> 0:09:03.320 going forward? Probably the championships. Inside, let's move on. It's Friday. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.520 See you know what time it is? It's uh, well, 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.040 you probably don't know what time it is because it's 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.920 been a few weeks since. Back to the Future's time 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.440 where we break down select NBA futures bets, meaning bets 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.960 that you can take on the awards market to consider 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.960 along with some movement, some odds movement on where things 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.520 have been going this week. My favorite awarded a track 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.360 is the NBA Most Improved Award. This is a tricky one, 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.960 hard to really predict. There's not a lot of direction 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.120 to it. Apparently you can be an All Star and 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.640 still be in the running for Most Improved Player. John 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.440 Morant won Most Improved Player. To just fucking crazy, you 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.839 can be a star player coming off of a major 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.640 injury and be in the running. Mostly though it should 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.120 be for guys who you did not see coming, who 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.880 show a massive leap in development. Tyree s. Maxey was 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.079 the leader in the clubhouse by margin before the big fellow, 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:03.720 Joel Embiid got injured. Even on Tuesday of last week, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.280 he was minus eight hundred to win the award. Eight 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.080 hundred dollars is what it would take for you to 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:15.240 win a hundred. That is insane. That's what we call 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.319 do not bet that, That's what we call a sucker bet. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.720 Why why was he minus eight hundred? Why was he 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.560 such the favorite? Number one Harden gets traded and Maxie, 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:31.080 I think, surprisingly flourishes more than expectations immediately the darling 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.160 to win it. And not only was there no drop 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.600 off once Nick Nurse gave the reins over to Maxie, 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.240 actually the team started playing even better and Joel Embiid 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.120 was having his best year, probably in his career. He 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.319 was the runaway favorite for MVP. And on top of that, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.160 despite the fact that Embiid had the ball more than 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.680 Luca highest usage rate in the league, Maxie was ballin 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.600 twenty five a game, only one and a half turnovers 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.800 with six and a half assists, so that's pretty good. 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.400 And since Mbad's injury though, it's just not been very 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.280 good for Tyrese Maxy. Turnovers are up, rebounds down, assists down, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:13.040 scoring up and down. But really the issue is that 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.760 the Sixers suck. In terms of the odds, things have changed. 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.360 Tyrese Maxi is now minus to twenty five to win 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.320 the award. I don't think he can win it now, 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.840 I really don't. I think that the Sixers have gone 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.800 from the most dangerous team in the East, which makes 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.160 him a runaway favorite, to boo boo. They are three 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.319 to seven in their last ten, that is twenty second 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.000 in the league. They are rocking a smooth negative nine 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.000 point four net rating, which is twenty eighth in basketball. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:45.360 Their defensive rating has plummeted to twenty ninth in the league. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.320 Only worse is Trey Young. No, I'm sorry the Utah Jazz. 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:54.040 So no, things are not going well. Another interesting player 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.319 to watch for is Kobe White. He has emerged from 0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.520 irrelevance to a breakout season. He's only he'll only average 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.480 nine points per game. Last year he was on Billy 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.720 Donova's shitlest we thought he was going to be traded 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.840 or relegated to the bench for life. And now he's 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.320 started every single game. He's averaged twenty five to five, 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.840 and he's gone from eighty seven to one eighty seven 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:21.120 to one. That's insane. Two plus six fifty, which is 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.040 six and a half to one. But that's not who 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:27.440 I like. Who I like, Well, let me just say this, 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.199 I am a card carrying member of the Goon squad. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:37.440 Alprin Shangoon has been an absolute surprise, a delight has 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.920 come out of nowhere, considering the fact that we weren't 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:46.720 sure if Steven Silas even liked Alprin Shangoon one second, 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.720 one bit. We thought maybe he'd get moved. We thought 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.760 maybe he'd go to the G League. He was averaging 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:57.040 fourteen points per game, and now he's the franchise player 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.200 for the team they are building around Alprin Shangun. I 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.680 have done segments on Alprin Shangun in terms of how 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.480 he compares two. I don't know. Jokic feels like the 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.880 award should be my man. Shangons. He's been stuffed in 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.840 the stat sheet, averaging twenty two nine to five, which 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.360 is up, like I said, from fourteen and change from 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.680 last year. He is currently plus four fifty, down from 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.080 plus twenty five hundred, which is where it was when 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.800 the season got started. It's gonna be a super interesting 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.600 race now then beat is out and the Sixers are 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.440 in free fall. Can MAXI still win it? I don't 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:36.680 think so, or we're gonna have to leave twenty Let's 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.640 get into some news from around the league. Every week 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.920 this season we seem to cover two things, and I 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:48.680 love him. One fights between players. I don't love that, 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.920 but the background around it is always ridiculous, and two 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.400 shady ash refs kind of a bad thing for the season, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.480 I would guess in the middle of trying to negotiated 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:06.120 right steel with a partner's broadcast partners, both of those 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:10.359 things might bring the price down to touch probably not great. 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.320 On the former, we've got beef between Beef stew Isaiah 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.040 Stewart's the Pistons Center that you might remember as the 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.360 guy who had to be restrained by thirty nine people 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.160 or so from killing Lebron while he had blood streaming 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.240 down his face. Do you remember that moment? Yeah, so 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:35.160 he has beef with someone just slightly more slender, slightly 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:39.200 less relevant, although it's debatable right now. The ten day 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:43.600 God drew you Banks Phoenix Suns Center came from the 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.160 Boiland Trailblazers when they picked him up on like seventy 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.320 two consecutive ten days. What how did it happen? Apparently 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.320 there's very real beef between these guys. On Wednesday night, 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.560 two guys get into an altercation. The stems back, according 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.840 to Scham's back to November fifth, many months in the making, 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.640 when the Pistons and Sons last met, and they got 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.960 into some sort of kerfluffle that nobody noticed, which, to 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.640 be honest, like it's Drew Bubanks, so he kind of 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:14.360 like blends in fast forward to Wednesday. So they're both 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.080 in the tunnel just you know, doing their tunnel thing, 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.880 and Isaiah Stewart decided it would be a good idea 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.840 to drop his bag, confront Drew you Banks before the 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:30.920 game and cold cock him directly in the mouth. Wild 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.360 And I love this from Chams because he's like holding 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.720 the ten day God's water. Apparently Drew U. Banks is 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.040 like looks even better as a result of getting punched 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:44.640 in the mouth. This is what Seamps had to say. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.800 So last time Isaiah Stewart was arrested for assault, he 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.000 was released. They gave the police Phoenix Police gave him 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.760 a citation. The NBA itself has also launched an official 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:59.080 review off the incident, and they've gotten security footage and 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.160 that multiple people will direct knowledge of the situation told 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.080 me that this is what took place, This is what 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.120 that footage will show. Isaiah Stewart Drew Eu Banks were 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:10.960 in the back hallways pregame, exchanged some words, and it 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.720 really stepped from their last game against each other in 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:18.040 Detroit November fifth. They were chest to chest. Isaiah Stewart 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.480 dropped his bags and punched ju U Banks in the 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.320 face amid their exchanging of words and them coming chest 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.600 to chess. I'm told Jujiu Banks was punched in the 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.880 mouth area, and from what I'm told the footage will show, 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.840 Drew U Banks barely flinched. He stood there stone cold. 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:41.160 Took the punch obviously, and police security got involved, separated 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.160 them and police had Isaiah Stewart escored it out of 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.280 the arena. So this is really in the hands of 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:51.840 local law enforcement, their investigation which is active, as well 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.240 as the league's investigation that it's gonna, you know now 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.200 take place over the coming days and week. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.600 Hold up, he just said, obviously, he took it like 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:05.400 a Champ just completely stone cold. Steve Austin unfazed by 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.679 Isaiah Stewart. We had Lebron James running away from Isaiah Stewart, 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.679 bloody in his face with multiple people. Therefore, back up, 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.760 and Drew Eubanks is like, yeah, hit me again. I 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.480 do not know if this is the legend of Drew 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.320 U Banks the ten Day God, but it feels solidified 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.760 right now. The end result, like Sean said, is that 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.119 Isaiah Stewart was arrested, he was issued a citation, he 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.920 was released. Kevin Durant randomly said, this is supposed to 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.440 be a brotherhood, dude, stay out of it. Okay, no 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.919 doubt Stuart is headed for a suspension again, right, Like 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.760 how many guys take a sucker punch come out look 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:51.520 at it? Somehow he did. Let's move on, Stepan, Stepan Stephan. 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.680 I don't know why I call them Stepan Stephan Wardale 0:17:54.800 --> 0:18:01.639 Curry is about to become a major sitcom star. You 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.399 know I should put him up to this. You know 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.400 she did, Peacock because she's always been in the limelight. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.760 Peacock just announced to straight the series order for Mister Throwback, 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:20.000 a mockumentary starring Adam Pally, who was hilarious on Happy Endings, 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:25.239 and Stephan Curry. Steph Curry was not so hilarious on 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.800 his game show. Not really that funny of a guy 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.040 in general. Very unusual for a sitcom to go straight 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.119 the series without a pilot, but that is the draw 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.879 of the Babyface Assassin with the White powers that be, 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.840 and they are betting enough that people turn in to 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:43.280 make this shit a hit out of the blocks. I know, 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:47.200 oh one thing I used to cover Travis Kelsey's dating show. 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.119 I will be covering every episode of this show on 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.000 the heat check. I'll let you know how he did. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.600 We'll do ratings and all that. The plot is about 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:59.280 a down on his luck sports memorability memorabilia dealer who 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:04.200 reunites with the sixth grade teammate, Steph Curry. This is 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:09.199 very unbelievable. Steph is gonna be playing Steph, which is 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.440 gonna be fascinating to watch. I am sure Ayosha Currey 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.439 will be in this as well. We will be vollowing 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.120 this closely and let you know more when we hear 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:21.640 it on to Darryl Moury. No Trade, Dunlight Trade deadline 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.679 would be complete without Moury making wild ass calls in 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:29.800 an effort to stir the pot this season. The one 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:34.480 we know about is the Phoenix Suns. According to ESPN, 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:40.520 Moury called the Suns to inquire about Kevin Durant. Oh yeah, 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.880 nothing to see here, folks. When he got laughed at, 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.880 he asked if Devin Booker and Brad Beal were available. Hi, 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.920 I would like to date Jessica Biel. Oh, Jessica bill 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.879 is not available. I would like to speak with Charlie 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.840 Starren then please, Oh no, she's not available. What about 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.399 Jessica Albo Nope, none of them are available. Okay, thanks 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.040 so much. What a guy, Darryl Moury. Just the delusion 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.719 in his deal making. One day, I want another GM 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:13.880 to call his bluff and just see how long he's 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:18.200 gonna go without cracking. Speaking of trades that never happened, 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.119 let's move on. But oh my god, should have happened, 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:25.040 which would break probably the basketball sphere in general. News 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:29.920 broke this week that the Lakers and Warriors were engaged 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:35.960 before the deadline and discussed a trade for Lebron James. 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.560 Here is Brian Windhorst's take on it. 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.600 Where he's busy doing NBA today, all right, Wendy, fill 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.720 in any blanks for us here, because this obviously, the 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.840 notion that we may have been close to Steph and 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.200 Lebron teaming up is extraordinary. 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.000 Yeah, I think there's two different ways to look at this. Obviously, 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.720 if you're a fan, your initial reaction is going to 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:58.280 be to dream about the concept of Lebron and stuff 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.400 playing together. I don't think that ever close to happening. 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.720 But I think it does show that there was a 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.800 lack of information. There was a lack of information from 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.159 these teams, because WOJ and Ramona also reported that the 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:14.359 seventy six ers called the the Lakers about Lebron because 0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:16.399 just the way things have gone for the Lakers this 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.400 season and the passive, aggressive moves that Lebron has made 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.640 left people wondering, you know, how does he actually feel 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.560 about the Lakers? Where is his head at about them 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.159 going now and going forward? And he gave an emphatic 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.040 I'm committed here, And you know, Rich Paul went on 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.240 the record publicly last week saying he's not going to 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.240 be traded. And that's why I think Greenie the Lakers 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.960 were probably okay going to Lebron and Rich Paul with 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.720 this opportunity because they wanted to find out where Lebron 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.640 was too, because Lebron was, you know, putting up emoji 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:49.600 tweets and you know, refusing to talk about it in 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:51.920 the media. And so what ended up happening is Lebron 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.200 ends up recommitting himself to the Lakers, saying no, no, I 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:55.800 don't want to be traded, I want to be here, 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:58.480 and then the Lakers don't do anything at the deadline. 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.760 I think those two were related because they operated knowing 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.480 that Lebron was solid. Now where Lebron might be in 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.760 the summer, when, by the way, Philadelphia is going to 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.359 have max caproom. That's a different conversation. But I actually 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:15.280 think this was more about checking in on an information 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.040 void than it was about a trade that actually could happen. 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.159 So it was a chess move. I don't know what 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.360 to think on one hand, and the Internet would have 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:29.760 been absolutely a blaze, melted just like American cheese on 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.640 a double cheeseburger. On the other I mean, I would 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:38.560 have absolutely recommitted myself to our dubs as as I 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:40.880 do every day when I wake up. I don't hate them. 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.720 It wouldn't make me hate them or anything. Lebron would 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:48.680 have made them insanely hard to beat. So a little 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.439 bit on we a little bit of throw up in 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.880 your mouth, folks. It might have been the biggest trade 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:58.200 in NBA deadline history. Even Steph was asked about it, said, ooh, 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.600 that was a little surprise. Nice little surprise this morning. 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.359 Yet no shit thinking about you and Lebron James is 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.080 enough to go from six to twelve, Babe. We end 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:08.720 with the Suns and a huge problem that the NBA 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:12.560 seems to want to ignore. Devin Booker got tossed last night, folks, 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:17.320 in what might be the most egregious soft ass call 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.040 of the year, which is saying a ton because remember, 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:23.960 I think Jokic got technicaled for no damn reason either. 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.399 Here's what the NBA pool report said about why Devin 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:32.119 Booker got thrown out. Booker was continually complaining and was warned, 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.399 but yet still continued to complain. The second technical was 0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:39.600 for disparaging remarks he made towards the official Here's what 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:45.800 really happened. Kevin Durant goes hey, who got insert player name? 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.639 Book replies, yo, I did, then points to a teammate 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.800 and says, so he could help. That was halfway through 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.720 the first quarter. That was Devin Booker's second technical, So 0:23:55.800 --> 0:24:01.760 he gets tossed. How is that disparaging? I do not 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:06.359 understand it, folks. We still have an NBA referee problem. 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.479
