Speaker 3: we are live here on Thursday morning. We appreciate those

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: of you watching us live on YouTube. Today is a

21
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: special day for a number of reasons. It was just

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: brought to my attention on Twitter. Today is just the

23
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: twenty seventh ever what people call sports equinoxes, where the NBA,

24
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: the NFL, the NHL, and Major League Baseball all are

25
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: playing games today. All four major American pro sports have

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: games day. We have playoff Baseball this evening. We have

27
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: an NFL game this evening. I guess there's hockey games

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: going on you I'm not the one to ask about that,

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: And of course two potentially awesome NBA games as tonight.

30
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: You have the Bucks making their season debut against the Sixers,

31
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: who did not look good in the opening night of

32
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: the season, and then the Clippers making their season debut

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: against the Lakers, who also did not look good to

34
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: open the season. Demonse and I were at the Nets

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: game yesterday, as we will be staples at as even

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: though I do not root for that team is our

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: fascinating team and we have season tickets. So we will

38
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: discuss that shortly in the show. But as we always do,

39
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: we must start with what we are not discussing on

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: today's show. Here's what did not make the cut. Drama

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: at the NFL Owners meetings. Drama Jim Irsay calling out

42
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: the Dan Snyder, Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft getting into it.

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson saying he has wolverine blood, which led to

44
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: this tweet from Demonse. Well, there's the tweet. Russell Wilson

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: says he's hoping to play this week, says he's feeling

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: much better already, said maybe he's got wolverine blood. Demonse

47
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: then chimes in and tweets to him the following Oh different,

48
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: it was a different tweet on my apologies. Russ also

49
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: tweeted for your glory, Jesus, and then Demanse with a

50
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: spicy tweet, Jesus isn't gonna save you from this one. Russell,

51
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: would you like to explain yourself?

52
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm just tired of people bringing Jesus

53
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: into it.

54
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 5: Oh, they're just like if you suck, you suck.

55
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 3: Wow.

56
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: It's like much similar to my friend.

57
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: I gave him money, he swore up and doubt he

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: was gonna pay me back, and like it came down

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: to the time and I was like Hey man, I'm

60
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: really gonna question you as a man if you don't

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 4: give me this money back.

62
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 5: Okay.

63
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 4: And he's like, oh, it's a good thing. Only God

64
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: can judge me. Okay, Well, ask God for the money

65
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 4: the next time. Okay, Wow, let's go.

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: Demanse said, there's something I want to say about this tweet.

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: Little did I know he was going to use not

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: only this show and this platform, but the open of

69
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: it to vaguely threaten someone who owes him money.

70
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 6: Wow.

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean listen, the listeners and viewers can view

72
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: it however they choose them.

73
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, how much money are we talking about it?

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: It was two hundred bucks.

75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 6: Oh that's a lot of money. Is it still old? Yeah? No, no, No,

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 6: he's paid. He's paid off most.

77
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: Of it, okay, most Wow, two hundred dollars a lot

78
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: of money. All right, let's start the show with a

79
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: team that's got a payroll of nearly two hundred million.

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: But you couldn't see it from last night. The Brooklyn

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: Nets go ahead to Monsey, So.

82
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 6: Obviously you went to the Nets Pelicans season opener last night.

83
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, Ben Simmons finally played, but the Nets looked terrible.

84
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, blown out.

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 4: Zion put up thirty in his first game after missing

86
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: his last season twenty five.

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 6: Zion had twenty five in his first game.

88
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 4: But go ahead, Okay, sorry about that. Was this a

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: bad sign for the Nets or is it a good

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 4: sign for the Pelicans?

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: All right, so there's a lot there. Let's just talk

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 3: with the Pelicans quickly. It's a great sign for the Pelicans.

93
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: The Pelicans are going to be good. And if Zion

94
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 3: in his first game in a year is this level

95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: and he's you know, you would expect him only to

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: get better. Pelicans could be very good. You got some

97
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 3: pieces well, and they have a move the I'm just

98
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: gonna keep dropping these little breadcrumbs I think there is

99
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 3: If they want, they're gonna give it a lot of time.

100
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 3: And maybe Zion and Brandon Ingram are gonna be a

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: great duo if they end up wanting to shift some

102
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: things around. Brandon Ingram's a hell of a piece. It's

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: a hell of a piece on a good contract, and

104
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: he's on a max contract, but it's the rookie max.

105
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: He's young. You could so that the the key for

106
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: the Pelicans is is Zion gonna be the guy he's

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: been for his eighty five game NBA career, which is

108
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: one of the most efficient high volume scorers in NBA history.

109
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: That's what he's been through eighty five games. He showed

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: you again. I mean last night he was fifty percent

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: from the field, and that's actually a downgrade from where

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: he'd been. It was first game back. He looked awesome.

113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: He's flying around the court. He also got four steels. Okay,

114
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: so that's the good, but that's not the most interesting.

115
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: The most interesting is the nets. Hard to count all

116
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: the issues on one hand, guys. So Durant's awesome.

117
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 5: Of course.

118
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 3: I mean Durant had an easy thirty and you know what,

119
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say easy, because nothing's easy with him because

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: they don't run an offense. But he had thirty. He

121
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: had I think four or five blocks as well. He

122
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: did his job. But every other concern you have about

123
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 3: the nets reared its head. They still we are in

124
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: what year three of the Nash era, appear to have

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: no interest in playing defense. This despite the fact that

126
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving more on him in a moment, said he

127
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: he wants to win Defensive Player of the Year. Okay,

128
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: said that the defense stinks. They don't have any front

129
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: court depth. They just don't. It's Durant Claxton and some

130
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: guys was like, oh, they traded for roy O'Neil.

131
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 6: Who gives it?

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: Damn they trade for roy O'Neil. But the real issues are,

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: of course they're starting backcourt. She have Kyrie Irving, who's

134
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: submarine their season last year, who gave like it. Just

135
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 3: the interviews he's giving are so weird.

136
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 6: He talked about how he.

137
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: Talked to Sham's and talked about how, you know, he

138
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: has respect for the Celtics and the history, and you know,

139
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: he wished he had handled things differently when he was there.

140
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 6: The dude gave the double middle.

141
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: Fingers in one of the most recent games he played, in.

142
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 6: The playoff game.

143
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: Out of the Gate. It was so it was Easter

144
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: Sunday of this past Easter. They the double middle fingers.

145
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: I just remember because we watched that game from my

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: mom's house. Remember we watched the game winning layup. Sorry

147
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: remember exactly when it was. He also, I mean, it's

148
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: just so he's such an odd duck. And then there's

149
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons. In his first game in he was two

150
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: for three, two three his first game of the year,

151
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: first game more than a year. Fouls out in twenty

152
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: three minutes. Fouls out in twenty three minutes, has no

153
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: discernible impact on the game. On a max contract with

154
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: three years remain.

155
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 6: He also hasn't played basketball in a very long time.

156
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 5: Let's give him a break.

157
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: I understand that, but he is folks. My dear friend

158
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: steven A picked the Nets to at least make the finals,

159
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: if not win the championship. Brussard picked them to make

160
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: the finals. A lot of people think they could be great.

161
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: It is the same old Nets, but now they have

162
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: added Ben Simmons, one of the least reliable MAX players

163
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: in NBA history, to go alongside Kyrie Irving, one of

164
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: the other least reliables MAX players in NBA history. And

165
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: everybody gives me Kraft for Mike Kyrie, like, oh, Nick,

166
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: you wanted him on the Lakers. Of course, we'll talk

167
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: about the Lakers in a moment. They need shooting, and

168
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: Lebron has shown you he's the one guyne Yes, yeah,

169
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: but the Kyrie Irving legend so far outstripped the Kyrie

170
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 3: Irving production. He's Stefan Marberry, except Marbarry at least had

171
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: super affordable shoes and was a hero in China. Instead

172
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: of affordable shoes and being a hero in the Asian markets,

173
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving's got conspiracy theories and is a hero to

174
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: some of the dumbest people on the internet. Kyrie's talking

175
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: about wanting, but when they sit down with Shams, he

176
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 3: wants to win all the hardware Defense Player of the

177
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 3: Year MVP. This is where I remind people Kyrie Irving

178
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: has been in the NBA for a decade. Every year

179
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 3: five people get I'm sorry. Every year, way more than

180
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: five people get MVP votes, but there are one hundred voters.

181
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: They all submit five names, So ten years times one

182
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: hundred voters, there's one thousand five names. Five thousand names

183
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: have been submitted one through five on MVP ballots during

184
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving's ten year career. Derek Rose when he was

185
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 3: on the Knicks, name showed up on a ballot. Little

186
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: Isaiah Thomas when he was on the Celtics, his name

187
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: showed up on a ballot.

188
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: David Lee, Joe Kim, Noah, Mike Conley, Gore on Draga.

189
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 3: All of these guys in Kyrie's career names have shown

190
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: up on an MBA ballot. Kyrie Irvings has not. He

191
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: has never gotten a single solitary fifth place MBP vote

192
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: once at the end of the year. Once he's been

193
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: voted a top ten player in the league. And by

194
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: that I mean he has been first or second team

195
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: All NBA one time. He was second team All NBA once.

196
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving has not had a single memorable or productive

197
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: playoff moment outside of the first round. Since he left Lebron.

198
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: He has talked about like he is this great player.

199
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: He is a great talent. He is not a great player.

200
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: And I that the Nets last night, you know what,

201
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: they played like a team that wanted the coach fired.

202
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 3: And riddle me that their superstar demanded the coach be

203
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: fired a few months ago. It's intriguing.

204
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 4: All right, next, all right, we got the Lakers. They

205
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 4: got smoked by Golden State in their first game. They

206
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 4: played the Clippers tonight, who they've lost seven straight against. Yeah,

207
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: and game one Lebron drop thirty one, fourteen and eight.

208
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: Oh quick, By the way, shout out the NBA stat

209
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: adjustment this morning. They an extra rebround. So thirty one,

210
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: fifteen and eight.

211
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: Okay for the.

212
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: Third oldest player in the league, a guy in year twenty.

213
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: If Lebron doesn't play another game all year, it's already

214
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: the best year twenty anyone's ever had.

215
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 6: Look it up, go ahead, all right, twenty seven and

216
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 6: Russ had nineteen coming off.

217
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: The bench, or he didn't come off the bench. He

218
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: came off the bench in the preseason. He started their game,

219
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: which is why he had nineteen. Okay, sure, go ahead.

220
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: Lebron's already making excuses saying, it's not like we've got

221
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 4: lasers on our team or anything.

222
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 6: Are you mentally prepared for Lebron's evolution?

223
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: Is the good guy the good the guy with good

224
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: stats on a bad team.

225
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm mentally prepared. In the Lakers stick and

226
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 3: he's right other shooting. I mean, it's a terribly built roster.

227
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: It's just idiotic the way they've built it. They have

228
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: right now the worst starting backcourt of any team that's

229
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: not taking are Russ Patrick Beverly backcourt is just insane,

230
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: and it's what they're rolling with. By the way, I

231
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: should have mentioned this were live on YouTube, so you

232
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 3: can do comments or questions in the chat and in

233
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: the C block. We'll get to him. The Russ thing

234
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: coming off the bench thing though, is interesting because so

235
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: Russ came off the bench in the final preseason game

236
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: Demons right, and then said he tweaked his hamstring, and

237
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: then they started him in the in the first regular

238
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: season game, and he was asked about the hamstring, and

239
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: you know, Russ historically doesn't love the media, and he

240
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: was asked like, hey, do you think part of why

241
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: you hurt your hamstring was like your body's not used

242
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: to like coming off the bench, you weren't warm. And

243
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: Russ's eyes lit up and was like, absolutely, I think

244
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: that's part of it. I've been doing one thing my

245
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: whole career and I didn't know what to do.

246
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 6: And this or that. There's odd.

247
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: Call it rumbling speculation that Russ's hamstring injury was a

248
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: warning to the Lakers. You asked me to come off

249
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: the bench. I can't guarantee like my body can do that.

250
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: That rut because by the way, obviously the best move

251
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: for the Lakers is to trade Russ, But in the meantime,

252
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: their next best move is to bring them off the

253
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: bench for two reasons. One is they are eventually going

254
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: to trade him. So develop your starting lineup and chemistry

255
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: within the unit. And while he's there, maybe the best

256
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: version of him would be running his own unit for

257
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: five minutes, you know what I mean a half. He'd

258
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: play more than five minutes half, but running that second

259
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: unit for five minutes a half, all of that makes

260
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: a lot of sense. And there's also been and I'm

261
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: gonna talk about Russ trades in a moment, there's also

262
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: been an odd kind of backlash to the backlash, and

263
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: Barkley did a thing. He was like, trade him.

264
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 6: This is ridiculous. You've stolen his joy for the game.

265
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Obviously Russ and the Lakers hasn't worked, and I'm

266
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: a Russ fan long you know, over the totality of

267
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: his career, but there is some accountability on Russ's behalf,

268
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: not justin that he hasn't played well and he hasn't

269
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 3: evolved as a player or adjusted his game. He opted

270
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 3: into this guy.

271
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 5: I was.

272
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: Letna say, he could have got out of there, could

273
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: have left right and gone anywhere he wanted. He chose,

274
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: which is his right, and mostly the vast majority of

275
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: people would have done it. The forty seven million dollars

276
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: he's owed under the player option over being in a

277
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: situation where maybe he's more appreciated as more freedom can

278
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: play his game.

279
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: Whatever. So I'm not I'm not going to be, you know,

280
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: playing any violins for Russ being in a bad situation

281
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: when he had a player option and opted in because

282
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: more power to him, he wanted the forty seven million.

283
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't blame him for that, but that is what happened.

284
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: Now on the trade, there's a lot of talk right now,

285
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 3: and this is the only place I'll defend the Lakers.

286
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: I won't defend them in their offseason signings. I won't

287
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: defend them in the lack of shooting there is oh,

288
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: you know, before I even get to the rust trades.

289
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 3: One other thing about that game, Anthony Davis was unbelievable

290
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: in the first quarter and then the next three quarters.

291
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 3: He had the same bs he's been doing the last

292
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: few years and just kept shooting jump shots over the

293
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: last two seasons prior to this one the single worst

294
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: jump shooter in the NBA thirty five percent effective field

295
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: goal percentage on jump shots. Anthony Davis. He either needs

296
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: to fix his shot or play the position he's meant

297
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: to play, which is center. Because in the first quarter,

298
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: who's playing center and against Golden State was dominating their

299
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: lack of their front line. And then he started floating

300
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: around and doing this nonsense and wasn't that good the

301
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 3: rest of way. Now on the Russ trade, yes, they

302
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: could have traded him for Healed and Turning. You include

303
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: the picks where I will defend the Lakers on not

304
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 3: making that move as this, I believe demonse because of

305
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: Big Vic, Victor wind Binyama and Scoot Scoot who's gonna

306
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: be the number two pick of the draft, who would

307
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: be the number one pick in almost any other draft.

308
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: Because of those two guys, there is going to be

309
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: an unprecedented number of teams that quickly this year decide, Yeah,

310
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: we thought we were gonna try to get the eight seed,

311
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: but we are out of here. We're trying to rip

312
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 3: it down. Charlotte's an example there. Portland might end up

313
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 3: being an example there. Utah is already there. Because of that,

314
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: I think there are going to be more players available

315
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: than in years past. So if the Lakers want to

316
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: hold their powder to see, Okay, we know we could

317
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 3: get Turner and Healed, what if we can get a

318
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: better package from Portland? Or from Charlotte, or a team

319
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 3: that decides.

320
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 6: As far as like picks well.

321
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 3: As far as players trade Russ and picks for rotation players.

322
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 3: This year, I think that is. I think that's why

323
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: they haven't made the trade. It's also why discussing the

324
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: Lakers is kind of crazy right now, because this is

325
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 3: not the team they're gonna have. Once they make the

326
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: Russ trade, we'll see who they're gonna be, and then

327
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: they can be fairly evaluated either way. It's gonna take

328
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: a minor miracle for them to be a contender, all right.

329
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 3: Next on a TV show or YouTube. Oh, by the way,

330
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: our poll, I should say seventy percent of the audience

331
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: says Lebron is just a good stats, bad team guy. Okay,

332
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 3: that's fine. He's also in your thirty one, fifteen, and

333
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 3: eight in year twenty. Seems good.

334
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 4: Go ahead, on the TV show this week, you predicted

335
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: Dallas beats Philly.

336
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 5: In the NBA finals.

337
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, and your fate and you say that you're fading

338
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 4: the Bucks because they don't have enough death.

339
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 6: Yeah. Meanwhile, the MAVs.

340
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 4: Just have Luca and they also blew a twenty two

341
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: point ly least, but they.

342
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 3: Had a twenty two point lead. You gotta think about

343
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: it like that on Phoenix.

344
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 5: But they blew it like the Ravens.

345
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 4: Are you blinded by Game seven Luca last year against

346
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: Phoenix or what?

347
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 6: What's going on? Okay, that is that's that's wild. What's wild?

348
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 4: You're fading the Bucks but you're going okay, MAVs.

349
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: Oh well, listen, the Bucks things a bit of a zag.

350
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: I will admit I picked the Bucks to win the

351
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: title to the last two years, and I believe they

352
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: would have crushed the Warriors if they had been healthy.

353
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 3: I think they obviously would have beaten the Celtics of

354
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: Middleton were healthy. Your Celtics, by the way, looked phenomenal

355
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: in the first out of the year against you know,

356
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: Robert Williams out for like two more months, but they

357
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 3: I mean, you do Robert Williams. Uh.

358
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 4: I do think maybe there was a little bit of

359
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: an overreaction to the Udoka.

360
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 6: Stuff with the Celtics, just.

361
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: A bit like people maybe overreacted in that that just

362
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: ruins the Celtics when maybe they shouldn't have Philly. I know,

363
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 3: so let me just explain myself on the Bucks thing.

364
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: What the playoffs did show me last year is no

365
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: matter how brilliant Yiannis is in an East as deep

366
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: as this one, if the Bucks entire big three is

367
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: not there, they can be beaten. Gianna's played a triple

368
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: plus basketball. Drew Holliday was sensational and they lost that series.

369
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: So it is concerning to me, not just because Middleton's

370
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: not back yet, but even if he's healthy. Drew Holliday

371
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 3: is a guy that has dealt with injuries throughout his career,

372
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: and he's played a lot long seasons last few years

373
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: with Milwaukee. Something tells me he's gonna get danked, and

374
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: because of that, I just can't pick Milwaukee. I know

375
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: it seems speculative. Giannis is the best player in the league.

376
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: I just something doesn't feel right to me about them

377
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 3: this season. So I'm taking that piece. I'm taking off

378
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 3: the chessboard. The nets are a joke. I'm taking them

379
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: off the chessboard. Celtics were very impressive in Game one.

380
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: I will admit that.

381
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 6: Let's leave them on the chessboard.

382
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: It beat the people that you said were well, it's

383
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: eighty two game season Philly.

384
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 3: I believed the Philly pick was threefold. One is embeid

385
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: continue is going to continue to play like a top

386
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 3: four player in this league. Second was Harden was gonna

387
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: be healthy, which he wasn't last year. He looked in

388
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: this game exactly looked a little too healthy. He dribbled

389
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 3: the ball five hundred and fifty times, and the third

390
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 3: one elape from Maxi and in fact a fourth when

391
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: the same thing I was saying about this unpresented team

392
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: tearing their rosters down and guys becoming available. Philly because

393
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: they have a great GM and Darryl and the Tobias

394
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: Harris contract plus Tible is gonna be involved in a trade,

395
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: I would imagine. I think they're gonna add another piece

396
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: for all those reasons.

397
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 6: I like Philly.

398
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: Dallas is purely a bet on Luca. I don't know

399
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: if you remember the series the fifty Greatest Players last

400
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 3: fifty years, but Luca Anti it's already one of the

401
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: twenty best players last fifty years.

402
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 6: We talked about that.

403
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: I think this is the year Luca runs the table

404
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: on everybody. I think Dallas also, I love the Christian

405
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: Wood edition. I know they lost Jalen Brunson, but they

406
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: get Tim Hardaway Junior back. They don't have to deal

407
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: with Chris STAPs, who he and Luca never got along.

408
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: All of that, I think Dallas is going to have

409
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 3: the best offense, not in the NBA, the best offense

410
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: in NBA history this year. They had almost the best

411
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 3: offense in NBA history two years ago. With a younger Luca,

412
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 3: Luka is in shape to start the season, something he's

413
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: never been. They made the conference finals last year. The

414
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: Clippers are the smartest bet to come out of the West.

415
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 3: But I don't trust Kawhi to play ninety games.

416
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 6: I just don't.

417
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: And without him, they obviously can't do it. So I'm

418
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 3: sticking with the maps. Go ahead, We're late, but go ahead.

419
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 6: Let's do her last one?

420
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: All right?

421
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 6: You said Luca is your pick for MVP.

422
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's take him out for argument's sake and say.

423
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 6: And say who else would win? Yeah? Would be honest.

424
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: Who gets his third Jokics with a three peat or

425
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: somebody somebody else all together?

426
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: Oh, speaking of Jokic, I'm glad you mentioned him.

427
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 4: So all year, last year, Nuggets country, all years?

428
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go. Last year I heard, No, it's

429
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: fine that Jokic wins MVP as a sixth seed because

430
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: he doesn't have his two best players. They're a championship

431
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 3: contender if they have their two best players. Yet, oddly enough,

432
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 3: they have their second and third best players back this year.

433
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: I didn't see many people picking them to win a championship.

434
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 3: I many people picking them to make the finals. I

435
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: didn't see that many people picking them to make the

436
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: conference finals. And then yesterday they play a team that

437
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: is trying to be terrible. They played the Jazz last

438
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 3: night to Monsey. I know you weren't up for this one.

439
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: The Jazz kicked their teeth in. The Jazz, who are

440
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: trying to be the worst team in basketball, beat the

441
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 3: Nuggets by twenty. Jokic got cooked by Colin Sexton and

442
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 3: then did a thing. Nobody talks about the Jokic Loki

443
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 3: dirty player. It's gotten kicked out of a playoff game

444
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 3: for a dirty play. Remember he shoved Mark Keith Morris

445
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: when he wasn't looking.

446
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 4: Mark Morris this month, I don't know if that was

447
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: exactly a dirty play, which one not The onle with

448
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 4: Markus Morris when he pushed.

449
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: Him Markkeith Morris wasn't looking and gave him whiplash. He

450
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 3: missed four months and then yesterday, okay, yesterday, Colin Sexton

451
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: cooked him, so you'll get ran down field, ran down field,

452
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: ran down the floor, knocked him over. Neither here nor there.

453
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 3: Point is Nuggets lost by twenty to the Jazz. Jokic

454
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: is not winning a third trate MVP. The only guys

455
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: to win three straight are Will Russell and Bird. He's

456
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: not winning a third trate? Is I think an interesting

457
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: and probably good bet.

458
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 6: I also, I mean we talked with this before.

459
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: What I'm not gonna say Lebron No, I didn't think

460
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 5: her answer.

461
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: Who would you think?

462
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, Jason Tatum?

463
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 3: Oh, Tatum's an interesting bet. Tatum did have thirty five.

464
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 4: I wasn't thinking about Tatumtum that man. I was gonna

465
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 4: say as a long shot, Zion's percolating. Zion's percolating is

466
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 4: a long shot. But if I if you were to

467
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 4: tell me I can't bet Luke, I'd probably bet Yiannis.

468
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 6: Uh you know what?

469
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: Er Yeah, because now, especially after seeing one game, I

470
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 3: know it's too it's not fair to do it this way,

471
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: But I'm a little worried about Embiid's numbers not being

472
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: off the charts, because I do think Harden's gonna have

473
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: the ball a lot, a lot more than last year.

474
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: The there's no one else in the East that is.

475
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 3: People are like, what about Donovan Mitchell? Tom Mitchell's not

476
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: winning league MVP. Yeah, it's just not Steph. If the

477
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: Warriors have a monster regular season, and I feel like

478
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: people were like, Steph hasn't won one in a while.

479
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: These are the obvious picks, but Luke is gonna win it,

480
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,520

498
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: I didn't the whole time I've been doing this. I

Speaker 3: We got a game coming up in a moment, but

515
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 3: first we got to talk a little Thursday night football,

516
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: de monse Go, Right ahead, sir.

517
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 4: The Cardinals take on the Saints at home tonight. Arizona's

518
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 4: been terrible, but there are one game away from first

519
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 4: in the NFC West.

520
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, the MC West ben a disaster.

521
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 4: And they traded for goaded Robbie Anderson after his outbursts.

522
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: Why is he goaded?

523
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 5: He's not. I think that that was sarcasm.

524
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that's fine. I didn't know, because Robbie Anderson's

525
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: a clown.

526
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, clearly clown.

527
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 3: Years ago to manse when he was on the Jets,

528
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: he came to First Things First and did an interview

529
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: in studio and it's not what he brought his mom.

530
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 4: His mom was there and was like like on this,

531
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: like was trying to get on there.

532
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: No. Oh, but was like it was weird. Maybe I shouldn't.

533
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is off, this is off.

534
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe I should have told that story, now that

535
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: I thought about it, I mean, you didn't go far

536
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: with it. It was just I mean, and the thing

537
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: he did. I don't blame a guy for one he

538
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: Gouy to Carolina. He has just made some reckless decisions.

539
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: There's an odd police body cam video of him from

540
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: years ago. I so, of course Arizona goes and gets

541
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: some Arizona, which spends draft picks on why receivers. The

542
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins trade obviously was a great one. But then

543
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 3: they trade a first round pick for Hollywood Brown. Don't

544
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: get it. Now they trade a pick for Robbie Anderson.

545
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 3: I just don't get it, but go ahead.

546
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: Good So, I mean, so hopefully he fixed it, he

547
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 4: mixes it or something. Clyps Kingsbury is the is the

548
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: favorite for the coach next favorite exactly favorite in Vegas

549
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: for the next supposed to be fired. Really, they haven't

550
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 4: seen Nathaniel Hackett and DeAndre Hopkins come in and save

551
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 4: the season.

552
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: Or could we see a new coach by next week?

553
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: If they were smart, they'd have they'd fire Kingsbury. Now

554
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: I've been on this for years.

555
00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, clearly.

556
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean Kingsbury again had Patrick Mahomes in the Big

557
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 3: Twelve of Texas Tech and never could win eight games.

558
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: And the guy got fired at his alma mater where

559
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: he was a legendary player. And then parlayed that into

560
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: a head coaching job in the NFL. He's never been

561
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: good ever. He is, however, not their biggest problem.

562
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 5: Kyler.

563
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: We gotta have a Kyler Murray conversation. This team has

564
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: scored I think five first quarter points, like two on

565
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: a safety. Maybe that's wrong. They have the Cardinals the way.

566
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna look it up right now. I'm gonna

567
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: go through it as far as and I think we

568
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: did this last week as well. But they played tonight

569
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 3: and it's just been awful their offense. In the Kansa

570
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: City game, they scored zero points in the first quarter.

571
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: In the Raider game, they scored zero points in the

572
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: first quarter. In the Rams game, I had just skipped one.

573
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: In the Rams game, they scored zero in the first quarter.

574
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: In the Carolina game, they scored zero in the first quarters.

575
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: We're at zero. In the Eagles game, they scored zero

576
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: in the first quarter, and in the Seattle game they

577
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: scored three. So they've scored three first quarter points.

578
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 6: Do I have that right?

579
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 5: Am?

580
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 3: I reading that right? Is unbelievable. They have been in

581
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: games this year at halftime down twenty three to seven,

582
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: down twenty to nothing, in a game they won. That

583
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: was the game the Raiders threw up on themselves, down

584
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 3: thirteen to six, down ten to three, to Carolina, down

585
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: fourteen to ten. That was their best one against Philly,

586
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: and then against Seattle down nine to three. They and

587
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: then in the second half, Kyler goes off script and

588
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: they make a few things happen. Kyler's got to be better.

589
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 3: He's got to be better. You cannot be where are

590
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: they in this for the season. And so the answer,

591
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: the short version, is no, he can't fix it. One

592
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: guy's not fixing it. Arizona this year has scored one

593
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: hundred and fourteen points. Okay, that is more than only

594
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: the following teams. It is, well, the Broncos were dead last, Chicago.

595
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 3: It's more than Carolina, who had the worst quarterback situation

596
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 3: in football. It's more than Washington who had a terrible

597
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: quarterback situation. It's more than Green Bay and the Rams

598
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: little sneaky problems. Okay, it's more than Dallas, who's playing

599
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback all year. It's more than Houston, Pittsburgh,

600
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: and that's.

601
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 4: The list they have been.

602
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 3: But so many of those points have come and you know,

603
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: fifteen of them came against the Chiefs when they were

604
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 3: getting crushed like in garbage time. Kyler will help. I'm sorry,

605
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 3: Hopkins will help. And I'm not betting this game tonight

606
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: because New Orleans has issues of its own. Arizona has

607
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: no business being this bat on offense after giving Kyler

608
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: Murray two hundred million dollars, and he's got to take

609
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: some accountability that I haven't seen him take.

610
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 4: All right, next, two wrongs one right, it's a game

611
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: we play. Yeah, yeah, we are playing two games. I

612
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: mean two wrongs one right.

613
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 5: Yep.

614
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 4: First one big a star quarterback to turn around by

615
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 4: the end of the season.

616
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 6: Between Brady Rogers and Stafford.

617
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna surprise people here. I'm gonna pick

618
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 3: Tom Brady.

619
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's I don't think that's a surprise.

620
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 3: I think people expect me to be anti Brady. Okay,

621
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 3: but Stafford's offensive line, they just lost their left tackle.

622
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: It was already a disaster. I think they are in

623
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: real trouble. Rogers doesn't want to take any accountability yet.

624
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 6: The receivers probably hate him.

625
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 3: Rogers, Yeah, I don't think they love him.

626
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 4: Because I think the different between him and Brady. Like

627
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 4: the way Brady's come in his old line and the

628
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: way Rogers has talked about his teammates, it's like very different.

629
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: I feel like with Rogers, I mean Tom Brady, he's

630
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 4: more hands on, I wants you to be better.

631
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers is like fix it, go take care of

632
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 6: him like that and.

633
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: Like passive aggressive, right. I also think here's the thing

634
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: that I think Brady has in his back pocket. One

635
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 3: of the reasons the Bucks offense has not been as

636
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: good as you would expect is because Brady is not

637
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 3: hanging in in the pocket and reading the whole field,

638
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: making throws when he's gonna get hit. If he sees

639
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: a hit coming, he's getting rid of the ball immediately, which,

640
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: by the way, he's forty five years old and they

641
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: need him healthy all year. It's not it's smart what

642
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 3: he's doing, like he is preserving man, and it's one

643
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: of the ways you can play twenty plus years. This

644
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: is a Lebron thing as well. For years. Lebron obviously,

645
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: you know, had some natural physical gifts and spent a

646
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 3: million plus a year on his body to stay healthy.

647
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 3: But he also understood how to stay out of situations

648
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: where guys, roll up on your ankles where guys, which

649
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: is why he was Lebron was so mad two years

650
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 3: ago when they were defending champs and Solomon Hill's clumsy

651
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: ass somersaults into his ankle when his back's turned and

652
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: knocks him out for the year and kind of ruins

653
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 3: Lakers chances at a title defense. That's not that Brady.

654
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: The one reel injuries ever suffered was when a guy,

655
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 3: Bernard Pollard for the Chiefs Week one of two thousand

656
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 3: and eight, was rushing the quarterback and kind of got

657
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: tripped up in dove and instead of hitting him here, yeah,

658
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 3: hit him in the shin and blew his acl. Brady

659
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: knows how Yes, Brady's pliable and spends all this time

660
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: and money on his body too, but he also knows

661
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: how to avoid hits. So why am I bringing that up?

662
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 6: I think come the end of.

663
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: The year, particularly come the postseason, Brady's gonna stand in

664
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 3: the pocket and take those hits and make the throws.

665
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: So I think there's another level that he has the

666
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: ability to unlock that he's saving because he does want

667
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 3: to be banged up throughout the year. So for that reason,

668
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: the fact that Rogers is having the worst year of

669
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: his career. Stafford's offensive line and weapons are disaster and Stafford,

670
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: it should be noted, last year led the NFL in interceptions.

671
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 3: Last year led the NFL and pick sixes even though

672
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: they won the Super Bowl. So it's not shocking that

673
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: is he leading the league in interceptions this year? I

674
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: think he is. Yeah, he has eight. It's not shocking

675
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 3: that he's leading the league in interceptions. Again, he's a

676
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 3: high interception guy. So my answer is Brady next.

677
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 4: All right, what's surprise team off to a hot start

678
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 4: will make the playoffs between the Jets, Giants and the Seahawks.

679
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: All right, with respect to the Jets, who are a

680
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: great story. I love their defense, not only how well

681
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 3: it's playing, but the personalities on a. Quinn Williams is

682
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 3: that you haven't seen this video right after he was drafted,

683
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: his third pick of the draft few years ago, big

684
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 3: big kid from Alabama sneezed yeah just seeing it and

685
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: blessed himself.

686
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 6: I like him.

687
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 3: You know, his brother is on the team.

688
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 5: I didn't know is.

689
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's his younger older brother, but Quincy,

690
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: it's Quinn and Quincy Williams. They're on the team. Sauce

691
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 3: Gardner is awesome, right. I The problem for the Jets

692
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 3: is twofold. One is the AFC is so much better

693
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,439
Speaker 3: than the NFC, and the other is after this game

694
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 3: against Denver, which they could win, and also I think

695
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 3: are probably gonna lose, but they could win home for

696
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: New England that snow walk in the park, home for Buffalo,

697
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 3: than a bye week than at New England, then home

698
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: for Chicago, Okay, at Minnesota, at Buffalo, home for Detroit,

699
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: home for the Prince that was promised, then all the

700
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: way across the country at Seattle, then at Miami in

701
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: the final week of the year. It's a brutal rem schedule.

702
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna cross the Jets off Seattle. I would

703
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,720
Speaker 3: like to believe in because I think it is such

704
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: you know, I have shorted the Russell Wilson stock and

705
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 3: nothing would be better than them, actually, a team that

706
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 3: people thought was tanking making the postseason, them finishing with

707
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 3: a better record than Denver. I do think they might

708
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 3: finish with a better record than Denver, and they they

709
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: have some winnable games left, but a and we got

710
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 3: to see if the Rams get it together. But they

711
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 3: also still have on their schedule. They're at the Chargers

712
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: this week, they're home for the Giants, who will get

713
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: to They still have at Tampa, at Kansas City, two

714
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 3: games against the Rams I mentioned home for San Francisco.

715
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 3: I think Seattle could have.

716
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 6: A really good year not make the playoffs.

717
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: The Giants, on the other hand, right now the Vegas

718
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 3: has the Cowboys as my eight hundred to make the playoffs,

719
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: risk eight hundred to win one hundred and the Cowboys

720
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: making the playoffs and the Giants only minus one ninety.

721
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 3: I disagree with that. I think the Giants, even if

722
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: they lose their next two games, which they could at

723
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 3: Jacksonville and at Seattle, they then get a bye, and

724
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: they have on their schedule home for Houston, home for Detroit,

725
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: two more against Washington, and a home game against Indy

726
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: that doesn't even include the game against Dallas, two against Philly,

727
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 3: and one against Minnesota. They if they even if they

728
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 3: lose to Jacksonville and Seattle, they can get to ten

729
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 3: wins without beating one good team.

730
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 5: They can get to.

731
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: Ten wins just by beating Houston, Detroit, Washington twice in Indy.

732
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 3: I think the Giants are gonna.

733
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 6: Make the playoffs?

734
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: Is the short version of that?

735
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 5: All right?

736
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 4: Next, definitely the Giants. Man, your preseason super prediction was

737
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 4: Kansas City San Francisco. They played this weekend. What do

738
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: you want to change? Chiefs and AFC forty nine ers

739
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 4: in NFC?

740
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 6: Let it ride? All right, real quick?

741
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: Before I answer that, we did get a comment in

742
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: the chat King of Fedoras said the Giants if they

743
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: get a wide receiver, the deadline defense is good, running

744
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 3: game is great. This need to get a wide receiver

745
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 3: to help make things easier for Jones. Yeah, I mean

746
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: listen to Kenny Galladay signing is one of the worst

747
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 3: signings in the last couple of years in the NFL.

748
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: Kidarius Tony hasn't been the guy or healthy enough to

749
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: be the guy they wanted him to be. I if

750
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 3: the Giants is a city, well, Odell's the one wide

751
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 3: receiver that I would encourage the Giants to get because

752
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: you don't have to trade any draft picks the Giants.

753
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: You gotta be careful here. This is supposed to be

754
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 3: a rebuilding year and you're trying to bank draft picks

755
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 3: for the future. You don't want to start mortgaging that

756
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 3: when you're not a super Bowl team right now anyway,

757
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: you know, some people would argue I wouldn't do it.

758
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 3: Some people would argue with the Giants should do is

759
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 3: go the other way, trade Saquon because he's due a

760
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: contract at the end of the year, it's at the

761
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: peak of his value. I wouldn't do that, but I

762
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: certainly wouldn't be mortgaging future assets to get because the

763
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 3: thing is this, They're gonna need all those assets possible

764
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 3: because they.

765
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 6: Still need a quarterback sorry Daniel Jones.

766
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: So I think they can make the wider they make

767
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 3: the players without adding a wide receiver. Now U said

768
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 3: my preseason Super Bowl pick, they play this weekend. What

769
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 3: do I want to change? I don't want to change anything.

770
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: I think the Niners are getting healthier. They have the

771
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 3: best defense in the NFL. Win healthy, and while I

772
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: don't like Jimmy gen no one in the NFC aside

773
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 3: from Philly is overwhelming, and I want to see Philly

774
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 3: against that Niners defense. If you were to tell me too,

775
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: the Niners aren't gonna make it. I think i'd sneaky

776
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: pick Tampa, and in part that that's because I you

777
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: know my buddy.

778
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 6: Who you know real well, Laslow.

779
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was his pick at the beginning of the year,

780
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 3: and I kind of dismissed it. He said, Chiefs over

781
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 3: Bucks in the Super Bowl, and his whole argument behind

782
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 3: it was like the storyline of Brady's final game, Mahomes

783
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 3: finally gets him. Yeah, Brady's final game, Mahomes finally gets

784
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 3: him in the playoffs, and it's the official handoff from

785
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 3: the greatest ever to the potentially next greatest.

786
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 6: Uh, I'm not listen.

787
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 3: I despite losing to the Bills we talked about one day,

788
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: I'm sticking with the Chiefs and the AFC. I think

789
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: the Niners despite that terrible loss this weekend to the Falcons,

790
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 3: they were so banged up you can't dismiss it. But

791
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: it's not that concerning. And the thing that n Iers

792
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 3: have going for him is that division. Nobody's better than

793
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: three and three, So even though they've had a rough start,

794
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 3: they're still tied for first in the division.

795
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 6: All right, Next, a couple more NBA questions.

796
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 4: Last year, John Moran sik the leap to a superstar

797
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 4: him we will take the biggest jump this year between

798
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards, Polo Banko and Zion Planchero Sorry, buddy.

799
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 3: No, you got right, Carro? Yeah, and Zion. All right, listen,

800
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: this is a tough one because it's the answer is

801
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 3: I don't think Polo is going to be a superstar,

802
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 3: but he also is a rookie, so like, what's the leap?

803
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 3: I think Zion is already a superstar. I think Zion's

804
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 3: already there. I think Zion and Anthony Edwards I expect

805
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 3: to be really good, but I don't think he's gonna

806
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: be like a massive leap the way Jah went from did.

807
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 4: You see that him and Karl Anthony Town's weigh the same?

808
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 4: I think Anthony Edwards might weigh a little bit more

809
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 4: than him.

810
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 6: I did not see that. That seems impossible.

811
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 5: It's insane.

812
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: Are you sure you're not giving out fake news here?

813
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 5: It's either it's either Carl Anthony.

814
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 4: I mean it's either Anthony Edwards is like five pounds

815
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 4: less than him, just the same, or like he's he's

816
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,959
Speaker 4: right around there, and the guy Karl Anthony Town says,

817
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,280
Speaker 4: what like five inches on him?

818
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 6: I just gotta have more six or seven exactly.

819
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 5: All right?

820
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 3: The sports rush says, and and it's on Reddit seven

821
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 3: foot Carl Anthony Towns is listed at a lower weight

822
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 3: than six foot four inch Anthony Edwards. Yep, so yeah,

823
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 3: I mean no, I mean that was a solid, dude,

824
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 3: It's a reale. Fran Anthony Towns is listed at two

825
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 3: thirty eight. Anthony Edwards listed at two thirty nine. I'm

826
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 3: gonna say Carl Anthony Town's weighs more than two thirty eight,

827
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: but it does speak to al solid Anthony Edwards is

828
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 3: my answer here, I guess is Zion even though I

829
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: think he's already a superstar, maybe others don't. I think

830
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: Zion's gonna be first or second team All NBA this year.

831
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 3: I think Zion's gonna be sensational. I think Anthony Edwards

832
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 3: will be really good, and Palo probably wins Rookie of

833
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: the Year, but that doesn't make your superstar, all right.

834
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 4: Last, which title contender is most likely to fall apart

835
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 4: and become a lottery team? Between the Celtics, the Sixers

836
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 4: and the Clippers.

837
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 6: Ooh, I don't think.

838
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 3: Any of these teams are going to be lottery teams,

839
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 3: but the one, if you were to tell me one

840
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 3: of them is going to be a lottery team. My

841
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: answer would be the Clippers, and it's only because they

842
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: are the biggest injury risk of the three by far.

843
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 3: I mean Kawhi's hadn't played more than a year, Paul

844
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 3: George has had a bunch of surgeries, John wall Is

845
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 3: barely played over the last four years, and so for

846
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 3: all those reasons, my answer would be the Clippers. Sounds

847
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: like there is mayhem going on outside. I don't know

848
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,440

866
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: from last night of Colin Sexton cooking Nikola Jokic a

867
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 3: few times last night, and then Yoki's running on the

868
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: court and just knocking him over.

869
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

870
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I.

871
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: The Yoka's developing a bad reputation as far as his

872
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 3: temper goes. And I know everyone's like, on, Nick, you're

873
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 3: always killing Jokic. I guys gotten kicked out of playoff

874
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 3: games for dirty plays. You hurt Mark Keith Morris. I

875
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 3: don't love it. I just don't love it, all right, demanse,

876
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 3: let's read the questions from the fans.

877
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 5: Yep, let's do it.

878
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 4: Oliver from Israel asked, yeah, he says love his show

879
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 4: in the in the pod. Question, is Mac Jones the

880
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 4: Patriots starting quarterback by the end of the year, If not,

881
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 4: is this his last year in the league?

882
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 3: All right, definitely not Mac Jones last year in the league? Okay,

883
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, he's proven enough that he's I think

884
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 3: he's a fringe starting quarterback or a really good backup quarterback.

885
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 3: I am not certain he's going to remain the Patriots

886
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: starting quarterback. Zapi's been excellent and Matt got hurt. There's

887
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 3: a lot of rumors about how about Mac. The way

888
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 3: the Patriots wanted Mac to get surgery, he didn't want

889
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 3: to get it. Zappi's been great. They're winning. So listen,

890
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: and Belichick has not just come out and been like

891
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: Max are starting quarterback the way he did for Cam

892
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 3: a few years ago when Cam wasn't playing well. So

893
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 3: there's no chance Max out of the league. Is there

894
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 3: a chance he loses his job to Zappi, Absolutely, there's

895
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 3: a chance.

896
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 6: Go ahead. Next question, Oh, Brandon asked Nick, what's the

897
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 6: book to start off the book club? Oh?

898

00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 3: going to read is A Little History of the World.

907
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 3: This was written almost one hundred years ago and or

908
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,959
Speaker 3: maybe sixty years ago, and it is I had never

909
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 3: read it. I found it in a bookstore about a

910
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: month ago and then read about.

911
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 6: It, like what's this book? Because I love history.

912

Speaker 3: And it is a true like it was written force

913
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 3: young people, for kids to teach them history and ended

914
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 3: up becoming consider one of the most accessible, easy to read,

915
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 3: kind of like a cliffs Notes of the entire history

916
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 3: of the world. It starts at the beginning of civilization

917
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,479
Speaker 3: and takes you up to the early nineteen hundreds. I'm

918
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 3: only like forty pages through it and it's been great

1002
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 3: a first round pick. Was even money on these offshore

1003

Speaker 3: was gonna be a first round pick that we pulled

1005
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 3: our money multiple accounts and max betttt Okay, it was

1006
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 3: even money, so a dollar to one dollar. And then

1007
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 3: draft comes along. He's not taken in the top ten.

1008
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, it's no problem.

1009
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 4: And then he's not taken in the top twenty, getting

1010
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,880

1016
00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 3: like no doubt quarterbacks, and in fact, Blake Bortles went

1017
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 3: number three, and then there were no quarterbacks taken for

1018
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 3: the rest of the first round until we get to

1019
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 3: number thirty. San Francisco is the thirtieth pick, they have

00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 6: And then Minnesota.

1026
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 3: Trades with Seattle to move up to number thirty two

1027
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,239
