WEBVTT - The 2023 NBA Draft Order Is Set

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>You're tuned into Heat Check with Trystal Quick.

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 2>On this episode of the Heat Check, the NBA Draft

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 2>lottery has come and gone, and we finally know where

0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Wemby is.

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Going to land and where everyone for now is going

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to pick.

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>That will obviously change. The Conference finals are under way, folks.

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 2>In surprise, surprise, Joe Mizula still hasn't been calling time outs.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't really know when to use him, how to.

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Use him, or if to use him. La, you're seem

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>happy with the three point loss to Denver, And yes,

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>we get into even more on the Jamarant incident and

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 2>some more on news from.

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Around the league.

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Nick, let's get right into it and drop that generic

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>ass beat that should be Rihana.

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>So we talked about this before.

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I did some things on social media about it, but

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>it's worth mentioning again. Is Joe Missoula, apparently the head

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>coach of the Bubble and Celtics, loves the movie The

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Town so much that he watches The Town four times

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>a week, that's every other day, actually more than every

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>other day.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Just to get into the mood.

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>And in the inspiration of getting in that Boston mindset,

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>he has used one of the movie's catchphrases, apparently to

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>motivate the team this season this postseason. It's who's car

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>we gonna take? Who's time out we're gonna call? But

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>this is not about quirks. It's kind of about his quirks,

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>which is a basketball coaching quirk, which is like not coaching. Yeah,

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about timeouts, or better put, Joe Miszula's inexplicable

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>decisions about not taking them. Last night, the Celtics lost

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>home court advantage and they dominated three out of the

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 2>four quarters of that game to the Miami Heat. They

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 2>got cooked so bad in the third third quarter that

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't come back from it. They were the better

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>team pretty much the entire game. They were up eleven

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 2>at halftime, The Heat were a ten and a half

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.839
<v Speaker 2>point underdog. Coming into the third quarter. The Heat were

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>getting you better than four to one. OF's just to

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 2>take them to win the game. And you know what,

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 2>the Miami Heat scored forty six points that third quarter.

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>And during that time, when the Heat erased an eleven

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>point deficit and actually, I don't know, took the lead,

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Joe Mazula didn't call a single timeout, not one, not

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>one when the heat pulled within six seems like a

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>good time to take a time out, bam Adebayo and

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>one no timeout, a heat three to pull within one position?

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh No, not a timeout.

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Not even at the tie ball game, would get Joe

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Mizula to say, I must stop the bleeding.

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>We must have a conversation, get your asses back in

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>the game. Nothing.

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 2>The entire third quarter, Miami ripped apart, his defense outscored

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics by twenty And what did Joe Mizzula do

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Not a goddamn dame nothing. He sat on his hands,

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 2>leaving the players to flounder and wonder and try to

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>figure it out.

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>On their own.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 2>What do we even have a coach for if you're

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna make them figure it out? Like, huh, what's happening?

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.079
<v Speaker 1>That's what? What are these timeouts even for?

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Marcus Smart said this in the following of the game,

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Joe's real big on not bailing us out when we

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 2>play like shit, We've got to look at ourselves in

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the mirror. Joe can call a timeout and then what

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 2>we do the same thing.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>It's on us.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Joan is coaching staff putting a lot of work to

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>come up with a game plan.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Does Like, I'm confused. Does that do.

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>We just not like need someone in the game to

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of like recalibrate the troops, Like is that not

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 2>what we're doing anymore or what? Like I don't I

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 2>don't quite get that. Like Marcus Smart when he calls

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>a time out and then what he tells you, Hey,

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 2>go over there, Hey, when this person does.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>This, you go over there. Hey, Like this man is.

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Open, he's pointing out things that he can see from

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>the bench because he's not playing and you are.

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>He can make adjustments, he can make.

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Substitutions, so many options at his disposal other than doing nothing.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm so upset with him. Joe.

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.279
<v Speaker 2>It's actually kind of adorable, you know, because you know

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 2>it when it's happening. You know, before it even happens,

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>it's going to happen. You're like, all right, they're up

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>by eleven, it's halftime.

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>How are they gonna fuck this one up?

0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 2>It's like wow, So they ask him, They asked Joe

0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Missoula the presser. The media is like, hey, they'd asked

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 2>it in a very funny way too, Like how do

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 2>you feel about the concept of like taking timeouts and.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 3>Going up against spolshow, who's constantly making adjustments on the fly,

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 3>willing to kind of call timeouts and change things up

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 3>so quickly.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 2>How did you.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Balance like trying to let things play out in the

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>ways you usually do, versus like having to seize control.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I called to in the first quarter, thinking more like

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the third quarter.

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't call too in the first quarter, save it

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 2>for the third quarter.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Run.

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>What are you talking about? I have a question.

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Does he not know that he gets more like that,

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 2>his little bag of timeouts replenishes throughout the game.

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Does Joe Mazzula know how this part.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Of the game works, because when he asks, let's just

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>really quickly, let's just go back to it just because

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm lost, don't call too in the first quarter.

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Save it for the third quarter.

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Run. I don't call two in the first quarter to

0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 2>save it for the third quarter.

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, No, you had other ones like you called.

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Two in the first quarter, and there are more to

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 2>be used in the third quarter. Joe Mizzoula, what are

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>you talking about? I've listened to this clip twenty plus

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 2>times today. I swear to God or swear to whatever,

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know what's happening. I'm not sure if

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 2>he knows that he has extra timeouts. I don't know

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>if he thinks that he has four of them for

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>the whole game and he used them all. I don't

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>know if he understands that, like you can actually call

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>timeouts every quarter, Like you can call him in every situation,

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 2>as long as you have them, you can call him.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.599
<v Speaker 2>And I know that everyone is killing him for it,

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, writers, NBA, TV people, especially fans.

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>As for the game, the twitter account Bucks film Room

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>described it best friend of Shoho Bucks film Room.

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>A Twitter account fucking hates me.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>The stages of losing to the Heat in the playoffs.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Denial, they can't keep playing like this, disbelief, how do

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 2>they keep playing like this? Anger, There's no fucking way

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the Heat should be playing like this, bargaining God.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>They must have made a deal with the devil or something.

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>And then depression. Damn we lost to the Heat. We're

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.440
<v Speaker 1>going home. That pretty much sums it up, folks.

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 2>The Heat got thirty from Jimmy. They shot really well

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>again from three. I don't know how they're doing that

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>because they were one of the worst in the league

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>at three point percentage in the regular season. Now all

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, gave Vincent Steph Curry. Now, all of

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, Caleb Martin.

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Is Andrew Wiggins in his prime.

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, all of a sudden, These Heat are like a

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.240
<v Speaker 2>full team of the Splash Bros.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, seven players hit two or more threes in

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Let me say that again.

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Seven Heat players hit two or more threes in the game.

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Boston looked really great in the first quarter first half.

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Marcus Smart had ten assists in the first half. Celtics

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 2>ended up with six players with eleven points or more

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and the team shot fifty two percent from the field.

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>The Boston Celtics shot fifty two percent from the field,

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, they are still lost at home.

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>So confusing.

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I think Boston fans are perplexed as well. This is

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:44.839
<v Speaker 2>not Philadelphia. No, you can't count on Doc Rivers going

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Spider Man mean with you and also doing nothing.

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>When bad things happen.

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Eric Spolstra, as is well documented, will call a time

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 2>out two minutes into the game if he thinks that

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 2>shit is gone awry.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey, he will throw something at Jimmy Butler.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 2>He will threaten one of his players to beat his

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 2>ass in the middle of the game, like Eric Spostra.

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Say a lot of things about Eric Sposter all you want,

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 2>but him not doing what he's supposed to do on

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 2>the floor with the x's and o's and the adjustments,

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 2>that is not one of them. When Boston went on

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>a baby run to start the fourth quarter, what you

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>think he happened?

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>What happened? Would you think he did? If you had

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to guess?

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>If I gave you options, what do you think he did?

0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 2>If I put it on a multiple choice sheet and

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I said a nothing. B yelled at his players from

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>across the room, see.

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Call the time out. What would you say he did?

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Ninety four seconds in to the quarter, Eric Spolster calls

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a timeout. Boom, run stops. Is Joe Mizula taking notes,

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>young padawan? This is how you coach a fucking playoff game.

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>What a fascinating series. Boston's going home, right, They're gonna

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>go home. I don't get to go to the finals.

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I get to watch the ship from Washington, DC with

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 2>four TVs and my co host like, that's where we're at.

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.440
<v Speaker 1>That's what's gonna happen, right, that's yep. I think that

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is Laker fans.

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.439
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a group of people feeling so confident

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 2>in a loss.

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen it.

0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I have never seen an entire group on Twitter say

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>after a team at home wins that game that that

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>team that just won the game is cooked.

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen that before. But that's where we're at.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets are up one zero, but apparently the Lakers have

0:10:54.600 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>figured some shit out. Apparently this this like the Kobe stopper.

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, remember when Ruben.

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Patterson was the Kobe stopper back in the day. Like,

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 2>apparently the Lakers have a Joker stopper and they just

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 2>he's just been waiting in the wings, just sitting on

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 2>the bench, waiting to showcase his superhuman talents of stopping Jokic.

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Stopping not just Yokic, but the entire Denver Nuggets offense

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 2>comes to a screeching halt when Rui Hachi Mura is

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 2>on Jokic. Apparently that's where we're at, because for the

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 2>let's check the notes, it was ten trips down the

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>floor ruey Hachi Mura pretty large, like very large sample size.

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>According to NBA Twitter, ten trips down the floor where

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Rui was on Jokic and the Nuggets only scored six points.

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Apparently they figured something out. Now, La fans, you know

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>how they are gold Stars participation trophies going to the

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>beach surfboards. That is what they're doing with the game

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 2>one loss, which is weird because Michael Malone noted in

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>his postgame presser that Denver ended up winning the game

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>when Jokic put up just a measily stat sheet of

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>thirty four points, twenty one rebounds, and fourteen assists with

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>two blocks. He missed five shots. They figured him out.

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 2>It's over. It's over for the Denver Nuggets. At one point,

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.319
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets had a twenty point lead. So, like I said,

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.199
<v Speaker 2>they feel that the Ruy Hachimura adjustment is what changed

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 2>the dynamic of the game.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The game got tight.

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 2>They were free safetying Anthony Davis not letting anybody go

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 2>into the paint made it look crowded. Anthony Davis was

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>a block monster. But let's be honest, can we just

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 2>be Let's put the jokes aside for a second. Ruey

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:57.199
<v Speaker 2>Hachimura went away from the Washington Wizards for an indefinite

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 2>period of time because he wasn't full kissed. There were

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 2>things happening inside of him and inside of his life

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>and inside of his brain where basketball.

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Was not front of mine.

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Ryachimur is not the most locked in human being for

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 2>a full forty eight minutes, Riachimura, you're not gonna be

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 2>able to put him on Jokich for the entire game

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 2>for the next presumably four what'd you say you went

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 2>win four games? The next four that the Lakers win.

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll just say, I'm very optimistically You're not gonna be

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 2>able to put ruyachimurro on Yogish that entire time.

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>He will be in Trebu trabu. He put ruly in

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>pick and roll.

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 2>See what happens right at the beginning of the game.

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Rui's might start tonight. We'll see what happens. Jamal Murray, Jokic,

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 2>pick and roll, barbecue chicken on a hibachi gro like,

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 2>what's going to happen. Yokich will pick him apart. It's

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>really just a matter to me of whether Denver.

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Can play defense for the full game.

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>When they play defense, they get stops, they create turnovers,

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.840
<v Speaker 2>they go out into transition. They look very fast, they

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>look very athletic. When they don't do that, they look

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 2>very slow because the Lakers are defensive. I mean it's

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>very simple defense set very hard to score defense, not

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.920
<v Speaker 2>set very easy to score. I know this sounds like

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>very simple game, but in a lot of ways it is.

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 2>There's no way that the Lakers should feel that Game

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>one was a victory at all. In fact, you might

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 2>feel that it was a demoralizing loss because you could

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 2>have stolen one. You had the opportunity, you were down

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 2>three in the fourth quarter. But don't take my word

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 2>for it. Take it from coach Malone. See what he

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 2>had to say.

0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Is this kind of discussion being based set Like even

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 3>though the Lakers lost, you know, they're walking out of

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 3>here last night like they think they've got something. I'll

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 3>bet you every red penny I have that Darvin ham

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 3>would rather be up one zero than down one zero.

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, what does that even mean? Like what

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 2>are we even talking about? Michael Malone is having none

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>of this. You guys figured some things out. You guys

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>have won something like we'll see how the Lakers respawn tonight.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Who knows.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe the Lakers are one game too.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Ruy is the Joki Stopper, two time MVP getting

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 2>stopped by our man Ruey hatchimur.

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move forward. It was fun while it lasted.

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 2>The hope, the dreams, the imagination, all the like the

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 2>season tickets I was gonna buy. Uh, I was moving.

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna move to Portland. Cover Wemba Yama full time.

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>What is it? Ten ten eighty the fan, It's an

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Odyssey station. They'd have me.

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure cook maybe get transferred cover wemby'all. I was

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 2>ready to party like it was two thousand and seven.

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 1>All over again.

0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Roy was the good luck mascot the last time

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>he was the good luck mascot.

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>We got the number one overall pick.

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>When I think we had like a four percent chance

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 2>of getting it, we had a ten and a half

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>percent chance. As Blazers and things look good. We rolled

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 2>into the top four.

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>My heart was fluttering.

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Houston got the number four spot, and I said, this

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 2>is fucking it. Yes, Detroit, Houston four. We've moved up

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 2>at least two spots, why not one? Why not move

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>up another one?

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Why not move up?

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 2>And then we got the three spot and I knew

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>it was over. My soul immediately left my body and

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 2>looked at me from above, and I realized Portland's.

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Trading this pick. That's what's happening.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 2>This pick is not even an Don't even look at Athletic,

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 2>don't look at the scouting reports of any of these

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 2>young kids.

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.359
<v Speaker 1>They do not concern you.

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 2>You are married to Damian Lillard, and what Damian Lillard

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 2>wants is outside of Victor Wamiyama. You do not get

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 2>any more young kids. They do not exist in your mind.

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>In fact, start looking at your own roster. Say what

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 2>kids can go. There's more kids on the current roster,

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 2>they can go. I thought it was funny though, when

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Victor wamba Yama saw first and foremost, he saw Houston

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>get the four spot, and they cut to him immediately.

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Apparently Victor wam Mayama also did not want to go

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to Houston. Shocking, shocking. I know that he would not

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 2>want to go to a team with a bunch of

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 2>chuckers on it, a bunch of lottery picks, and when

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>they won like what twenty two games or whatever it was,

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 2>and a new head coach that's got all kinds of

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.960
<v Speaker 2>misconduct allegations in a city full of temptations, and he's

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:17.879
<v Speaker 2>by the way, French.

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that was a great fit.

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.840
<v Speaker 2>So Jabari Smith quote tweeted it and with the little

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 2>emoji of taking notes. Okay, Jabari, you go ahead take

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 2>those notes, baby boy. Here, what you need to do

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.119
<v Speaker 2>is take notes and give them to your teammates so

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>they can get you the fucking ball when you're open

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.439
<v Speaker 2>underneath the rim.

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>So poor Charlotte.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>They end up with the second overall pick, and now

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 2>they've got to worry about what they're gonna do, because

0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:46.959
<v Speaker 2>are they gonna take Scoot Henderson, who would probably not

0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.160
<v Speaker 2>pair great with their other point guard of the future,

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 2>LaMelo Ball. Are they going to take Brandon Miller, who,

0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>by the way, Brandon Miller, according to Zaklo, today looks horrible.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 2>He's out of shape, like I thought it was, like,

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 2>oh like Brandon Miller not in good shape, meaning like

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 2>mentally like yeah, no, shit, he's been going through a lot.

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:12.959
<v Speaker 1>No like he's physically.

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Not been working out, like, just not in shape, been

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>drinking SODA's and eating bond bonds and Cheetos and chilling

0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>on his couch well playing call of duty. According to

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Zach Lowe, also, Brandon Miller not been doing great in

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the interview process either, which does not shock me, uh,

0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.160
<v Speaker 2>considering all the things that have gone down recently.

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 1>So that's bad.

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>What Charlotte is going to do is a big off

0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 2>season story. We know Victor will be a Spur. Pop

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.000
<v Speaker 2>is probably gonna be continuing to coach until he gets

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 2>his Joe Paterno on, like straight from the court to

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 2>the grave type stuff for him. I know that's morbid,

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 2>but literally like they're gonna have to drag him up

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.959
<v Speaker 2>out of there. And now we've got to figure out

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 2>the biggest story for the next generation of the NBA.

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.680
<v Speaker 2>The hype is that big for Victor. Been talking about

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>him for it feels like two years now. His hype

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 2>is so big that you have Chris Brussard saying if

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 2>he's if he turns into Hakeem, he's a bust.

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.479
<v Speaker 1>That's where we're at. That's how big guy. That's an

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>insane statement.

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Hakeem fucking Elijah One, NBA Champion twice, twelve time

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>All NBA, twelve time All Star, that guy, if he

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 2>turns into that guy, he will be a bust.

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Get out of here.

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 2>So let's just credit the Spurs for being the luckiest

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.480
<v Speaker 2>organization like in the NBA, they were so lucky they

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 2>would have won it, like four times.

0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.439
<v Speaker 1>They win the lottery multiple times. Fred Katz was.

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 2>In the lottery draw room and tweeted that the Spurs

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't just win the number one overall pick, their number

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 2>got drawn twice more. It was written, the script had

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 2>been determined. It was always the Spurs. It was never

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 2>anyone else. In fact, that the Blazers somehow would have

0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>gotten quote unquote lucky. They wouldn't have gotten lucky. Victor

0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Waumiyama wouldn't have gotten lucky. US NBA fans wouldn't got

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.719
<v Speaker 2>lucky because Victor Wambiama would have been some version some

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>combination between Sam Buie and Greg Godin, probably multiple micro

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 2>fractures in his shins, probably never seen after forty three games,

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>and Scoot Henderson would be the next Michael Jordan. That

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 2>would be what would happen, Of course, if Blazer's got

0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>the number one overall pick. So Spurs last time they

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 2>had the number one overall pick in both years they

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 2>won fifty six games the next year. That's the best

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 2>record in the lottery era for a team with the

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.879
<v Speaker 2>number one pick. They're gonna be a lot better, probably

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 2>not winning fifty six games, but man, this could not

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 2>have worked out better for the NBA, for the Spurs.

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 2>For yeah, I mean, like listen, San Antonio and France

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 2>go together like Joe Mizula and never calling timeouts Like

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.959
<v Speaker 2>that's just it's just written. Like you got Boris diaw,

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 2>You've got Tony Parker, Like the entire country of France

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.239
<v Speaker 2>was rooting for Victor to go to San Antonio. This

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.359
<v Speaker 2>is what he said, Victor, there's a special relationship between

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 2>France and the Spurs because of Tony Parker and Boris dial.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I know half the country maybe, if not the whole

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 2>country wanted the Spurs to have the number one overall pick.

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 2>And before you say, well, Trista, there's a Patrick Ewing situation.

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it just happens for a reason. Like I said,

0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 2>if it wasn't Portland, I wanted him to be in

0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio. Another big man, transcendent big man going to

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the Spurs, playing underneath Pop and probably playing the most

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:51.160
<v Speaker 2>boring brand of basketball you've ever seen. So the lottery

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 2>is over, the draft order is set. Here's what it

0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.400
<v Speaker 2>looks like. Spurs number one, they get Victor two Charlotte Hornets,

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>three Portland Trailblazers, four Houston Rockets, five Detroit Pistons, six

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Orlando Magic, seven Indiana Pacers, eight Washington Wizards, nine Utah Jazz,

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:25.919
<v Speaker 2>ten Dallas Mavericks, eleven Orlando Magic, twelve OKC thunder thirteen

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Toronto Raptors, and fourteen New Orleans Pelicans. So, after all

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:37.399
<v Speaker 2>those shenanigans of Dallas losing games on purpose, like I recommended,

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 2>they do get their tenth pick. They do get to

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 2>keep their own pick, and now they have the only

0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:46.359
<v Speaker 2>trade asset that they could possibly think of. Otherwise the

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Knicks would have gotten their pick. And we saw how

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 2>much chalk it was. The lottery basically lined up almost

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:54.400
<v Speaker 2>exactly with the odds, So if they would have gotten eleven,

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 2>the Knicks would have gotten their pick.

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Now the Knicks have no first round pick.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Other than Victor Am y'am at number one, which, by

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 2>the way, the books have him met minus twenty thousand

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>to go number one, which is like the craziest odds

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen. That means one hundred dollars bet would

0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:15.159
<v Speaker 2>get you fifty cents, which like still is free money,

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:17.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean still free whatever you can put up on

0:23:18.000 --> 0:23:20.640
<v Speaker 2>that like I could probably still I could be talked

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.160
<v Speaker 2>into it. For nearly two years, everyone was talking about

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 2>how vic if it wasn't around, it's scoot scoot this,

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 2>scoot that, scoot here, scoot there. And now very smart

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>people are saying that it is not Scoots number two

0:23:32.000 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 2>overall pick for sure, that Charlotte could take Brandon Miller.

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 2>They could take Amen Thompson. They could take him at three,

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:40.360
<v Speaker 2>They could take him at two, which means Scoot could

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 2>fall all the way.

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Down to four.

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 2>And if scoots at four, maybe there's chaos because you

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 2>know who's got fours? Those chuckers over there in Houston,

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:49.439
<v Speaker 2>they don't need another guard, So what happens do they

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:49.920
<v Speaker 2>move it?

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 1>So much chaos?

0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 2>There are rumblings that Charlotte might even take Amen Thompson,

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 2>who is mocked between three and six. They might be

0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 2>willing to trade down their pick. Mitch Kupcheck seems to

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.920
<v Speaker 2>love Brandon Miller, but like I said, Brandon Miller apparently

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.919
<v Speaker 2>has a dad bod. Now, so there are rumors that

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Houston may want to trade up. Rumors that the MAVs

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and the Blazers want to trade their picks.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 1>Altogether. So what are we gonna get? Who knows. We

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 1>look at the bottom half of the draft.

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta, Utah, La, Miami, Golden State, Houston.

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Again, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Portland.

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 2>From New York, Sacramento, Memphis, Indiana, Charlotte, Utah, Indiana, and

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers. There's just a lot of intriguing options here.

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn has a pair of first rounders here, they could

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 2>bundle those, they could move up. Houston could package four

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and twenty to get to three, which then means Portland

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:47.639
<v Speaker 2>probably package four and twenty for somebody like Ognanobi, or

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:49.399
<v Speaker 2>maybe even two if they fall in love with one

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>of the top candidates. So yeah, I think what's interesting

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.880
<v Speaker 2>is that how many trades are being floated out there

0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and what that means about this draft. We see last

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 2>year not many trades at all. Why, Because the traft

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 2>was seen is very good. Don't want to trade your

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.440
<v Speaker 2>pick if you have one. Everyone interested in their pick.

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Apparently this is supposedly a very deep draft, So why

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 2>has everybody wanted to trade back? Maybe this draft class

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>isn't as good as we thought it was, Like, maybe

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>it is just like two three, maybe top tier talents.

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's just one. Maybe it's just Vic Maybe.

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 2>Like Osar Thompson is a top tier talent, but we

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know because he's not being ranked there. So a

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think that there's not much left outside

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 2>of Victor Wambaiama. Brandon Miller has character issues in addition

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 2>to the holes in his game that.

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I see, Scoot can't shoot threes.

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 2>The closest comp that I can see to Aman Thompson

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 2>could be John Morant, that's six seven, But he also

0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>could be Cam Reddish, who's been bounced around like a

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 2>ping pong ball. So Cam Whitmore has a horrible assist rate,

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 2>which means he's used to being a number one option,

0:25:57.440 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of these teams that could draft him

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:01.480
<v Speaker 2>have already up are elite scorers on the team, So

0:26:01.480 --> 0:26:04.640
<v Speaker 2>what does that mean for him? Taylor Hendrix, Oustar Thompson,

0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Jarris Walker, Anthony Black, Derek Lively. Are any of those

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 2>guys all pro players?

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking? Are they? I don't think so.

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 2>So I think you're gonna see a ton of movement

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 2>on draft nights, and that means what we're likely to

0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:24.919
<v Speaker 2>see is lots and lots of chaos. This draft is

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna be incredible, incredible for betters. We'll definitely have some

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 2>friends of the shows to break this down because this

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>year the draft is make or break for a number

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 2>of teams like Portland, and I am excited to see

0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 2>how it all shakes out. All right, So we've got

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:44.879
<v Speaker 2>a Ja Morant update. Will multiple updates, but we'll keep

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 2>it to the pertinent updates. First, Adam Silver responded to

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:52.959
<v Speaker 2>Jaw getting caught once again waving a gun around on

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 2>IG Live a quote unquote brandishing a weapon. What a

0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 2>word brandishing? I kind of love it, right, Like, what

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>do I brandish a diet coke as sometimes a coke?

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Zero?

0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Ourman, Adam and Amsterdam had this to say, I at

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 2>least was left with the sense that he was taking

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>this incredibly seriously. Honestly, I was shocked what I saw

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. Yeah, I was shocked as well. How long

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Jaw will get for the suspension is not known, but

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.199
<v Speaker 2>it is gotta be I think a minimum of twenty games.

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Jaw fought the law and the law. One. Jaw fought

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the law and the law. One. That's the song, right,

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:32.239
<v Speaker 1>that's uh.

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 2>He's put in the in the sights of the League

0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Disciplinary Office. And that's what the song says. The penalties

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 2>are coming fast and furious. The latest penalty is from Nike.

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Row Row.

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Numerous reports are saying that the Nike and Finish line

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:53.960
<v Speaker 2>have removed Jaws Hunger Jaw one sneakers.

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>What a name.

0:27:56.600 --> 0:28:01.479
<v Speaker 2>This is especially concerning if you are in jail camp

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 2>or group because they were supposed to drop on May

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifth, which is in seven days. The new colorways

0:28:08.200 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 2>were listed as recently as Tuesday. But now if you

0:28:11.760 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 2>look for the Jaw Hunger one Sneakers four h four error,

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 2>this page does not exist. That is not good. Why

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 2>does this matter, Well, because the last time that Nike

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:26.199
<v Speaker 2>deleted the shoe line on their app was Kyrie Irving

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:28.600
