Speaker 3: On today's drop. We're gonna discuss some second half storylines

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: to watch. We're gonna fix the All Star Game because

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: no one's done that yet. And you know, we got

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: some rapid fire fun and look, we gotta sort of

38
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: fly through this show because there's a lot of activity

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: out on j D Street just outside the Classic Factory.

40
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: The power could go at any second. I don't think

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: that's ever happened in the history of our show, where

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: the power just went out and we go we go

43
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: to black. But it's in play here today. Just see

44
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: how many trying. There's a lot of guys walking around

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: like furious out there.

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: They're just walking down the street, which didn't even I mean,

47
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 5: it rain a little last night, but I think they're

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 5: just pumping the hydrants or something that's wild out there.

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: At and T problems yesterday.

50
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: Maybe hey, maybe maybe it's all connected. Who knows?

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: Before we get into what you got though, we had

53
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: another wedgie. They keep coming after the All Star break,

54
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: our first one, of course, and it's Moses Moody sticking

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: his second one of the season on the little uh

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: jumper there, Yeah, make a look like that. So weggie

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 3: number thirty nine on Pace still for fifty nine. This

58
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: was a lot of people coming up to us overall

59
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 3: Star weekend. How about them wedgies? And they continued to roll.

60
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: So we love to say that. So good job by

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: Moses Moody. Lots of games on last night, twenty four

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: teams in action. We thought let's talk about a little

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: bit of them by playing a little watch.

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: Got what you get?

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't get to every team, but uh what

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 3: you got to hit the highlights play along if you're

67
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: joining us live on YouTube. Also smashed that light button,

68
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 3: hit subscribe and podcast listeners tweet in your answers at

69
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: No dunk sinc I n C. On the end, first one,

70
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Shay Gildes Alexander scores thirty one points. He does that

71
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: every game as the Thunder beat the Clippers one twenty

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: nine one oh seven in a matchup of Western Conference contenders.

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: OKC lights out from the field. A lot of great defense,

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: uh both when it came to blocking shots and steels

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: as well. Meanwhile, in Dallas, Luca scored forty one. Kyrie

76
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: had twenty nine Suns beat the Maps one twenty three,

77
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: one thirteen on TNT, extending their win streak to seven.

78
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: So Dallas pulled even with Phoenix in the standings thirty

79
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: three and twenty three. They took the head to head tiebreaker,

80
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: so we started here tass more impressive win from last night.

81
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: Thunder over the Clippers or Mavericks over the Suns.

82
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: What you got.

83
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: This is a great race because we had a great

84
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: in the association. It's great to have basketball again. It

85
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: was a little boring Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. It's good to

86
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: see you back. Wedgies could be at an all time high.

87
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: You see that happening in both these games. You saw

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: great home teams in great games, very close games at half,

89
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: but pull away in the third quarter. I'm gonna go

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: with okayc though, because of how deep they went. That

91
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: team is so freakin deep. And Mark Dagna, who I

92
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: do think is going to be Coach of the Year,

93
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: made a change at half and was able to sit

94
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: Josh Giddy at half in place. He put Isaiah Joe

95
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: out there. Decided to change it up because this team

96
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 4: is so freaking deep. It is remarkable. With Isaia Joe

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 4: out there, Now they have Gordon Hayward who made his

98
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: debut out there, Kenrich Williams, Aaron Wiggins, Cason Wallace, who's

99
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: gonna be a star one day. I wonder what's gonna

100
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: happen with this team, But all those guys came off

101
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: the bench and they were able to turn it around

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 4: in the third quarter and really just thump the Clippers bench.

103
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: And that's what it came down to. And they made

104
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: that change thereof deciding, well, Josh Getty just ain't shooting

105
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: the ball. They're just playing way off him. Let's change

106
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: it up. Because Mark Dagnell can do that with this team.

107
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: They've got so many guys believing in him. They go

108
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: ten deep. And it wasn't just Check Holmgren dropping Paul

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: George out there. I mean, that was freaking cool. Paul

110
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: George just drops with Chet Holger. But this this game

111
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 4: was a healthy Clips team on one side and the

112
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: Thunder just being too deep for them, while on the

113
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: other side, I think I think you could take a

114
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: little bit away from the sunse because he didn't have

115
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: Bradley Beal, But I think, you know, single performances, you're

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: probably going to talk about Luca in a second, But

117
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 4: I will take the Thunder and just they just adapted,

118
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 4: and that's the scary part of them. They can adapt

119
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 4: to any situation, any series, anytime.

120
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: This is a tough one. TK. Both are impressive wins,

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: but which one are you going with over the other?

122
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: I think the second half from the Thunder was so

123
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 5: impressive that it's got to get the win here. Switching

124
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: in Isaiah Joe for Josh Giddy just smart. There was

125
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 5: nobody in the lane offensively for the Thunder after that,

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 5: and then on the other side you have Chat holding

127
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 5: it down in the paint defensively, and Jalen Williams had

128
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 5: three blocks in the second half as well. I thought

129
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: the Thunder were great at back cutting the Clippers in

130
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 5: the second half, with no rim protector out there or

131
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: Zubat out chasing chet Holmgren. They just completely flip the

132
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: script on the Clippers. And that's a team that likes

133
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 5: to play small ball. They got out small balled by

134
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: a Thunder team. But the Mavericks got an incredible win too,

135
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: seventy points combined from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Luca

136
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 5: did pick up his twelfth tech that could come out

137
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 5: further into the season here, but with Derek Lively, Daniel Gafford,

138
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 5: PJ Washington, and Maxi Kleba looking healthy, They've got a

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 5: lot of big man combos right now. They shot the

140
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: ball really well from three last night, made nineteen threes,

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: only ten turnovers. They finished minus one in offensive rebounding,

142
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 5: so they actually won the possession game, won the three

143
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 5: point game.

144
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: They looking good right.

145
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 5: Now, basically since they made the trades for Gafford and

146
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: PJ Washington, coinciding with Kyrie Irving getting healthy. Those two guys,

147
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: Luca and Kyrie incredible shot makers. You can tell they

148
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 5: like playing with each other, and Kyrie gives them a

149
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: little something special just because he pushes in the transition

150
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: so much. He had some ridiculous finishes.

151
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: In this game.

152
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 5: Luca had another fake off of guy's back for a

153
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: basket in this game. Great stuff from both of these teams.

154
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 5: Winning the Thunder and the Mavericks.

155
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, just back to the Thunder for a second. It

156
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: felt like it was one of those games where their

157
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: best offense was their defense because they were scoring in

158
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: transition a lot of the times because they were stealing

159
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: the ball or obviously getting blocks and keeping the rebound

160
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: there thirty to ten. They beat the Clips in fast

161
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: break points. Overall, the thunderscore twenty six points on possessions

162
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: after a steal or a rebounded block. They looked great.

163
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a team. The more you watch them,

164
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: the more you start to convince yourself. Why not them

165
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: going to a conference finals? Hell? Why not them? You

166
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: representing the West in the finals because of their depths,

167
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: like you said, tasks, because their leader, how they play,

168
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: and just how they played defense, Like I love that

169
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 3: only the Celtics, Wolves and Calves protect the rim better

170
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: than the Thunder. Big part of that, of course is

171
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: Chet playing. You know, he's incredible. He's just the perfect

172
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: guy to put alongside all these other guys. And and

173
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: what I do like like Shay is in the MVP

174
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: running like I know we might get to that. Luca,

175
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: of course, he's probably you know, jumped up a couple spots.

176
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: You know, you maybe have him as high as three

177
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: now maybe he's leaped. Honest, he's right there with these

178
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: other guys. Yo Kitchen Sga, but Sga man, he's a

179
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: dog defensively too, Like he really doesn't take plays off

180
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: on that end. And I think it like obviously, it's

181
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: sort of like it goes to everyone on that team.

182
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: Dort you know Wallace, Like you said, J Dubb, incredible

183
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: defender himself. Chet's awesome for a big So yeah, man,

184
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: that defense is an elite looked dominant in that victory.

185
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: But the mask too. I loved about that game. Sons

186
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: were hanging around. It was like one of those like

187
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: they kept hitting threes and just were like they were

188
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: always like within seven or eight points. It's like early

189
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, but they just could not stop

190
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: Dallas and like Lucas like the Chee code, They're like, well,

191
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: what do we what are we supposed to do with them?

192
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: He cooks anyone, one on one run, three guys at him,

193
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 3: and now with Kyrie alongside him, and then all these

194
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: new pieces, he just it's like an easy pass and

195
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: these guys are wide open for the last night, knocking

196
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: them down like it's gotta be. It should just be

197
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: very infuriating to play him because there's really nothing you

198
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: can do because he's obviously a capable passer. It's some

199
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: guys have to hit shots because they're wide open.

200
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: They're wide open.

201
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 5: One thing you definitely can't do is have Grayson Allen

202
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 5: guard him. No, I don't think it's gonna work, because

203
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 5: even if he sticks in front of him, Luca could

204
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: just easily step back and shoot over the top. And then,

205
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: like you mentioned, eleven assists for Luca, only three turnovers,

206
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 5: and it just felt like the Mavericks could get a

207
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 5: good shot anytime they needed to.

208
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the cool thing about Luca is that he's

209
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 4: adapted his game. He's added the right step side. We

210
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: all know that above the break on the left side

211
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: that's where he makes his money, and the left he

212
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 4: can hit any three there. But he's doing the side

213
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: step to the right that he did against Grace and Allen.

214
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 4: That was so smooth, and Grace Allen was trying to

215
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 4: take away his left side, so he steps to the right. Well,

216
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: he can't guard that. And then yeah, the Kyrie things

217
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: were really cool. I mean, he was an act are

218
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: bad in the air that was that was just cool

219
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 4: to watch together. And I know that the PJ. Washington

220
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: and Daniel Gafford editions look good, but Maxie Cleveland's kind

221
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: of their glue. He played way more minutes than both

222
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: those guys, and he's been hurt this year. It is

223
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 4: something that you know, I haven't really noticed a lot

224
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: of the time. I just feel like they gotta get bigger,

225
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: they gotta get stronger and clebad. Just being healthy just

226
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: helps that lineup. That was that was very fun. And

227
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: hopefully Bradley Beal comes back because that's that's really weird

228
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: because then then you get a well who else is

229
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: gonna help? Is is it gonna be? You're gonna have

230
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 4: to see, right O'Neil fire? I mean, Bradley bial would

231
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: just be good.

232
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. So again, big win for Dallas against Phoenix in

233
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: the head to head tiebreaker. If they are tied, you know,

234
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: as the season goes on at the end, they will

235
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: be above them. And that could be you know, the

236
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: difference between home court advantage possibly or you know, a

237
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: fifth seat or something like that.

238
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 4: Or who's stuck in the play and yeah.

239
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's possible with how crowded it is in

240
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: the Western Conference, all right. Moving on, the Orlando Magic

241
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: returned from the All Star break. They beat the Calves

242
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: one sixteen to one oh nine last night, handed Cleveland

243
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: just their third loss in twenty one games. The Caves

244
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 3: had been one of the hottest teams in the league

245
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: since at least mid December. They played without Donovan Mitchell,

246
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: so there is that he had an unspecified illness, had

247
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: a couple guys after the All Star break not playing,

248
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 3: you know, Lebron Donovan Mitchell Beale obviously, but meanwhile, Grant Williams,

249
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: he can't lose as a Charlotte Hornet. Maybe they're four

250
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: and oh. With Grant Williams coming off the bench, he

251
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: scored twenty four. Hornets beat the Jazz one to fifteen

252
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: one oh seven for their fourth straight victory. So TK

253
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: get a started here. More surprising from last night the

254
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: Magic defeating the Calves despite no Mitchell or the Hornets

255
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: winning their fourth straight game and again staying undefeated in

256
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: the Grant Williams Charlotte era.

257
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: It's got to be the Hornets aka the Fornets.

258
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 5: It's so surprising that I've checked four times today to

259
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: make sure they actually won four straight game.

260
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: Seems unbelievable.

261
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 5: I've feel like I'm clear in the nut dust bowl

262
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 5: right now, five games up on the I think the

263
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: Wizards have nine wins, the Pistons have eight. Yep, they're

264
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: probably not getting caught from behind at this point. But

265
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 5: Tess talked about how deep the thunder are. The thunder

266
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 5: are so deep that they sent Trey Man and Vasillia

267
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 5: Meetchich to the Hornets and they're like two of their

268
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: best play yeah instantly, that's pretty impressive. Thirteen points for

269
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 5: Man last night, eight assists for Mechich. Twenty threes though

270
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: for the Hornets, and part of that was Grant Williams,

271
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 5: who knocked down six of his own. I heard on

272
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 5: the broadcast they say they're happy with his physicality because

273
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 5: they can play small right now. I don't know that

274
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: the Hornets necessarily needed to tilt even more offensively focused,

275
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: but it seems to be working. Only nine threes for

276
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 5: the Jazz and they turned the ball over nineteen times.

277
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 5: Tough to win like that, So yeah, the Hornet's picking

278
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 5: up a win. Maybe they'll be the spoilers and the

279
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 5: second halfs here. You don't want to play the you

280
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 5: don't want to play the Hornets, watch out.

281
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: You don't want to see Grant Williams coming to town.

282
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: That's right, might lose a standing in the Western Conference

283
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: or in a playoff seating.

284
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: They're so freakin deep, the Hornets. It is wild that

285
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: the Thunder were able to send guys that were barely

286
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: hanging out to the rotation or not even in their rotation.

287
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 4: And now Trey Man is starting for the Charlotte Hornets

288
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: mill ball out in this one, so that'll be interesting

289
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: to see what those two do as a backcourt in

290
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 4: the future. But just having the ball go through Trey

291
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 4: Man also just makes Brandon Miller so much better. He

292
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 4: was great in this game too. If he can just

293
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: play off the ball, he just looks so good, so huge,

294
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 4: so quick with that dribble, and he's able to just

295
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: shoot over everybody. So, yeah, the Hornets are different. Yeah.

296
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 4: I honestly I too. I was wondering, Horner Row, is

297
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 4: that true?

298
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: I saw that right.

299
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

300
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: Well, it gets even crazier because Charlotte snapped a sixteen

301
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: game losing streak in Utah. The last time Charlotte won

302
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: in Utah was on the road in March first, two

303
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: thousand and six. That's the Bobcats, baby goodness, And you

304
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: know what that means. I'm firing up the box score

305
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 3: and asking you, guys, can you tell me who the

306
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 3: five starters were for the Charlotte Bobcats the last time

307
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: they won in Utah.

308
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: Oh six, I know who was playing the OKA five?

309
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: It was OK four.

310
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: He did not play in this game.

311
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: What yeah, yeah, that's weird.

312
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah we got Gerald Wallace correct a.

313
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: Great game from Gerald ken be Walker not.

314
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: Drive No no, no, no six.

315
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: J Augustine was he there? That's probably too early.

316
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: No, Boris Dia No good, guess the lefty Byron.

317
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: Don't call me BJ mullins.

318
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 4: That's probably This is.

319
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: The deepest Bobcats.

320
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: I think I think you should focus on the guards first.

321
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: I think Morrison No no, it's not DJ no, but

322
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: think a yes, Raymond Felton.

323
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: That was an unfortunately great hints.

324
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: And then think another you know, small all guard who

325
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: you know could be on like a Game of Thrones

326
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: or something some medieval medieval is your hint?

327
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: What is to start with a t His name start

328
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 4: with a tear.

329
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: His last name no not no, no, no. Yeah. He

330
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: was a first round pick in the ninety seven draft.

331
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: He's obviously no longer in the League's quite old now.

332
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: He's a point guard. He's five ten, very small.

333
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: That is pretty small. And his last name ends in

334
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: a T. No, no, don't worry about that. No, no, no.

335
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: His last name starts with a K, but it ends

336
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: in a T and the point was medieval or or

337
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: a chessboard k.

338
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 4: Travis Knight, No, no, King Braindon Knight, No, no, that

339
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: can't Nan Knight, thank you, bre Knight.

340
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: Guys, broadcast Now is he okay?

341
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: Memphis?

342
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 3: Oh broadcast? I think podcast? Yeah, okay. And then probably

343
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: two more these are going to be very difficult. Uh

344
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: this guy? Uh wow? What could I give you? A

345
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: Slovenian it's a great name.

346
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: It's a Euro's slow car.

347
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: No, no, it's a big center, seven foot two, big dude.

348
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: Primo's Breasid nice, good jobs. Random Bobcat, I know, yeah.

349
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: And then one more, the toughest of the bunch. I

350
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: think of him as a Philadelphia seventy six or I

351
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: think it was the first team. He played for, played

352
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: for Cleveland, played for Boston, played for the Lakers, played

353
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,479
Speaker 3: for the Suns. I guess played for the Hornets or Bobcats.

354
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,359
Speaker 3: He's a power forward. He's got JJ as his initials,

355
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: like two first.

356
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: And last name James Johnson.

357
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: No, but it's a very common James Jackson.

358
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: No.

359
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: I think I get that last name. Get that common

360
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: last name that starts with the j It's not Johnson.

361
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: Jones, Jones, Popeye. Wait, it's Jones Bingo. There you goin Joe.

362
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: That was a tough one.

363
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 2: Guys, that's a tough one.

364
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 3: Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton, Premo Bread, Brevan Knight, Jumaine Jones.

365
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: You had Melvin Ellie coming off the bench. Excuse me,

366
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: Kareem Rush, Matt Carroll, Jake Foschkell and that's it.

367
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 2: I thought Kareem Rush is gonna be good.

368
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 5: I thought it was going to be solid and the

369
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 5: same team.

370
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: Any any thoughts or notes on the magic taking care

371
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: of the calves or you're not taking too much away

372
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: from it because Donovan.

373
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 4: Well, Jermaine Jones he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers one day. Yeah,

374
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 4: you're right, Yeah, let's just start with the calves. Yeah. No,

375
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell who fires ten threes a game. That seemed

376
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: to be the problem in this one because Darius Garland

377
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 4: was there and he could just you know, you look

378
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 4: at it and you say, oh, he can just act

379
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 4: like Donovan Mitchell and just create from his spot. But

380
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: the threes were a problem. Even though I have mobile

381
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: and as like Akorro there you look good. Uh, and

382
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 4: and Struce was fighting. I think the threes were just

383
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 4: the problem. It's just Donovan Mitchell not in there as

384
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: they that's who they are. So I think that was the.

385
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: Pro credit to the Magic defense. I mean, that's like

386
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: where they Yeah, that's how they're good this year. You know,

387
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: top five defense, I think fourth overall in defensive raigning.

388
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: Probably part of the game plan, I assume to try

389
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: and take that away a little bit, especially when Mitchell's

390
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: not out there. But any notes, Yeah, seventeen turnovers for

391
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: the Cavs. It's like they didn't have their point guard

392
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 3: out there, and it looked like it. But here's the

393
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: weirdest thing to me, Franz Wagner scored the most points

394
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: of any Orlando Magic starter fourteen. Evan Mobley scored the

395
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 3: fewest points of any Cleveland Cavaliers starter fourteen fast their

396
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: entire starting lineup outscored the other team starting lineup and

397
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 3: they lost.

398
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't add up. Wagner. You gotta watch out. Sometimes

399
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: there's two Wagners.

400
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: And he was great, Like he was finishing picking rolls

401
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 5: the entire time. They gave a lot of credit to

402
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: him postgame for bringing the physicality and that's certainly something

403
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 5: Mo Wagner does.

404
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: The bench was just much better for Orlando, I thought

405
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 2: in this one, all right?

406
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: Moving on final one here in What You Got, Jokich

407
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: became the fourth player in NBA history to record at

408
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 3: least one triple double against every opponent in the league.

409
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: He went ten for ten from the floor, had twenty

410
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: one points, nineteen boors, and fifteen assists in the Nuggets

411
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: big win over the Wizards. Meanwhile, Sabonis he posted his

412
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: NBA leading nineteenth triple double as Sacramento beat the Spurs

413
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 3: by five. That's impressive and likely worthy of a What

414
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: you Got inclusion. Sabonis with another triple double. But rookie

415
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: Victor Weminyama he nearly did something we haven't seen in

416
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: quite some time. He finished with nineteen points, thirteen boards,

417
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 3: five steals, five blocks, and ooh four assists. So crazier

418
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 3: achievement tasks Jokic and his triple double dominance here or

419
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: Wemby with the very close five by five What you Got?

420
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: February twenty second to digit do digit do a triple double?

421
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: Man was the guy for me fifteen fifteen to fifteen,

422
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: one hundred percent shooting it's never been done. Actually, it's

423
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 4: never been done. Triple fifteen, one hundred percent shooting. And

424
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 4: forget the basketball. I like the weirdest Jokich when he

425
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: steps off the floor. To me, this is the weirdest Jokich.

426
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: When he makes these weird faces to his kid that's

427
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 4: sitting up there, And that's why I love him. He

428
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: makes these weird, funny faces and he's just dominating obviously.

429
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 4: So the Wemby thing marts we can celebrate some other

430
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 4: day for me. He'll get the joker. Yeah, it's joker

431
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: acting real strange love the strange Jokre.

432
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: Did you see him at the I guess it was

433
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: the Avalanche game, the hockey game the night before, maybe

434
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 3: the night or two before. He had his baby girl

435
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: there on the lap, had her up on the jumbo trunch.

436
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 3: He was loving it, so they kept going back to him.

437
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: He seemed to be having fun. Uh are you agreeing

438
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 3: with tasks?

439
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: Is it?

440
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Is it Yoki or is it Wemby with the near

441
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: five by five?

442
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 2: How about Keana Christmas? How about it a Quinn triple double?

443
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 5: I did see eleven points, twenty rebounds, eleven assists, ten

444
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 5: steals and ten blocks for Fonda Fultonville University.

445
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: Ever heard of it? I guess that's an incredible line.

446
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, dwarfing Victor Webbin Yama's near five by five,

447
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 5: He'll get one.

448
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: At some point.

449
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: I thought this was a Bisman like performance from Wemby.

450
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 5: Not a lot of wild plays actually for getting so

451
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 5: close to a five by five. He had the nice

452
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 5: dish to Jeremy Sohan underneath, which was pretty cool. He

453
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: had that block on Demonta Sebonis in the third quarter

454
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: where the Bonus is just trying to go through his chest.

455
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 5: Wenby just takes a couple of bumps and then spikes

456
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: his layup standing on the ground. That guy's an All

457
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 5: NBA center. That was impressive. But tass is right, it's

458
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 5: the triple double from Nikola Jokic. The guy's got the

459
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: best dinker and dumper touch in the history of playing basketball.

460
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 5: There was an NBA University tweet that came out probably

461
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: sometime this week talking about like the guys who shoot

462
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 5: the most floaters. He's on that list, and he' shooting

463
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 5: like sixty three percent. Like if he catches the ball

464
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 5: in the lane, he's scoring, or somebody else is scoring.

465
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 5: He hooked up Aaron Gordon at least three times. He

466
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 5: had a couple of long balls to him. Also had

467
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 5: that behind the back on the pick and roll that

468
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 5: looked to me like Luka. Donchez was like, you should

469
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: try this sometime. When you get in the pick and roll,

470
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: there'll be a cut and you can just hit a

471
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 5: guy on a behind the back pass. He did it

472
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 5: no problem. Then in the second half, no Chris, no

473
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 5: Kentavious Caldwell, Pope, he sprained his finger, I think right,

474
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: So Christian Brown stepped in and that guy is an

475
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 5: incredible cutter. So of course Jokic was diamond him up

476
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: as well. We went on the Thinking Basketball podcast this week.

477
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 5: They just did a.

478
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: Quiz on Nicola Joki job where is this pass going?

479
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: Right?

480
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: And he told us that his wife cracked the code.

481
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: If you see Aaron Gordon cutting, he's getting the ball.

482
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: So if you want to take that quiz, he's just

483
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 5: getting the ball for a dunk every time, and he

484
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 5: did it last night.

485
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 2: So this guy's awesome.

486
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 3: The quiz is great. It like literally shows you the

487
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: play and then it stops and it's like, where is

488
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: Yokich passing to this guy? This guy, this guy or

489
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: this guy, and you gotta try and guess and you're like, yeah,

490
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: it's difficult. You're like, I mean, he could be making

491
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 3: easily three of these passes and you are right. Most

492
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 3: of the time. It was to Aaron Gordon. My favorite

493
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 3: thing was heading into last night's action, I saw Nuggets

494
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: fans celebrating yesterday as like triple double day, like they

495
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: were saying happy triple double Day because they knew he

496
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: didn't have one against the Wizards yet. And then he

497
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 3: just goes out and puts up the insane line, doesn't

498
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: miss the shots, like it's like things like you can

499
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 3: just put it in pen that the guy's like gonna

500
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 3: go get one if he wants one. And the other

501
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: part is watching this game. But I watched a lot

502
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: of it, and then again watched the highlights this morning.

503
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: Yokich just dominating them. I kept like, honestly not dominating,

504
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 3: just toying with them, and only watch or think about

505
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: when Yokic is doing that too, Begley or Kolabali or

506
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: whoever was matched up against them, where it's just looks

507
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: so easy. Remember the the Will Ferrell SNL audition tape

508
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: that would go around and like he got the gig

509
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: because he did the whole like little cat thing, or

510
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 3: he would play with a toy like he was a

511
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: human cat. That's what your kitch appears to be when

512
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: he plays with these guys, like had no fucking chance

513
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: against them or any of these guys. It's so easy

514
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: that Yeah, then he's like, well, I guess I'll just

515
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: throw this pass behind my back this time and give

516
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: this one a go just and then yeah, the touchdown

517
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: to Gordon that was beautiful. So it's wild that he's now.

518
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 3: I like that he has a triple double against every team.

519
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: I guess Lebron's done it, Westbrook, it's Stokes. I think

520
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 3: there's one other guy, But now he's got it. That

521
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: makes sense. Ugget is yeah, yeah, yeah.

522
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 4: It is funny for the Wizards. They don't have a

523
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: center to play against Joic because Bagley.

524
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: Is a little too short.

525
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 4: But uh, anyay, it's uh, it's just great to watch

526
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: Nicola Jokic period. He's the best center in the game. Obviously.

527
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 4: It's it's funny because and I guess you know what's

528
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: coming in the playoffs in the fourth quarter. It's the

529
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 4: one two man game or the one five man game

530
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: with Jamal Murray and Jokic. But you can't stop it

531
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: because he can find everybody, such a great pastor. And

532
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: then if you try and actually take away the passers,

533
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 4: you can score. No, no center can really stop him,

534
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: especially if you're Marvin Bagley a third. Unfortunately you're way

535
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 4: too short for that. Man.

536
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: All right, let's get away from what you got and

537
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 3: go into some second half storylines because I want to

538
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: know tk you can get it started here. What is

539
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: something you're watching for with about a third of the

540
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: season to go, maybe a little.

541
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: Less, I still like to consider it the halfway point. Yeah, No,

542
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 2: I do.

543
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 5: I do, because the playoffs count. Man for us, it's yeah.

544
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: If you're watching the NBA, it's the halfway point. You're

545
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 5: going deep into gu the second half storyline for me

546
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: to watch, specifically in the Eastern Conference, can anybody beat

547
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 5: the Celtics because it doesn't feel.

548
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 2: Like it right now.

549
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 5: They should be stamping a ticket to the finals in

550
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 5: their minds. At least they're seven games up on the

551
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: Cavs right now. They've got a plus ten point differential

552
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 5: because they have two fifty point wins this season. Then

553
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 5: you look at the teams chasing them. The Sixers are

554
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 5: really struggling without Joel Embiid. They're six and fifteen this season,

555
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: lost again last night. They just don't seem to be

556
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 5: able to reliably generate offense. They haven't had their full

557
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: complement of role players as well, so who knows if

558
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 5: they're able to stay in the top four.

559
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: In the East.

560
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 5: The Bucks have not figured out how to play both

561
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 5: sides of the ball yet. When Adrian Griffin was the coach,

562
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 5: it was all offense, no defense. Now that Doc Rivers

563
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 5: is the coach, defense looks okay and they can't score.

564
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 5: Maybe they'd turn it on in the final third.

565
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: Of the season. Here the Caves, I think just still

566
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: some uncertainty.

567
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: They're a really good team, but we saw how things

568
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 5: went down in the playoffs, and that's a question mark

569
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 5: to me. The Knicks are super banged up. When you're

570
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: looking at teams could beat the Celtics, is it the Heat, Like,

571
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 5: is that the team you're most confident in because they

572
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 5: have done it in the past. Obviously, nobody wants to

573
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: play the Heat in the playoffs, as people like to say.

574
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: They could end up matching up in the first round

575
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 5: we've seen the Heat knock off a number one seed

576
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 5: less than a year ago. But at this point it

577
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 5: feels like the Celtics are miles ahead of the Eastern Conference.

578
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Eastern Conference is a little bit more interesting

579
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 4: here to find the team that's going to rival the Celtics.

580
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 4: I totally agree. I'm interested to see what happens with

581
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Bucks because they make that huge change of

582
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 4: Doc Rivers and they're three and seven under him. That

583
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 4: is terrible. But if you look at the stats, as

584
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: you said, top ten in defense since Doc Rivers came around,

585
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 4: that's exactly why they got him, because they had one

586
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 4: of the best offenses. They had the twentieth best defense

587
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 4: under Adrian Griffin. So that's interesting. But what's also interesting

588
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 4: to me is the dynamics of the front court because

589
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: Chris Middleton helped the team win a championship, but he

590
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 4: just looks older, more injured. Doesn't look right. They're going

591
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: to need Damian Lillard desperately. They need him, and he

592
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: went into that All Star break struggling his last five games,

593
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 4: shot twenty four percent from three, thirty seven percent from

594
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 4: the floor. Then he goes and wins the three point shootout.

595
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: He wins the All Star MVP. He looks great, and

596
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: Yanni's great interview with Eric name of the Athletic, basically

597
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 4: saying it's Dame's team, It's Dame's team repeatedly. But he's

598
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 4: also he's also going into this like a vet and

599
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: and calling out his team again one more time. I

600
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 4: mean he is, he's trying to be that vocal leader.

601
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: He said, some great stuff. Things are not going to

602
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 4: be given to us. We have to go and take it.

603
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 4: Like I played with guys that never felt bad about themselves,

604
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: came in, did their job, went home, did their job,

605
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: went home, did their job. That's what we have to do.

606
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 4: We're not doing it right now, but hopefully we can

607
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 4: do it. That's what he sounds like. So I had

608
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: to impersonate him out to do that. But it's it's

609
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 4: very It's just interesting that this team has turned around

610
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 4: a little bit defensively but offensively. They won with Chris

611
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 4: Milton being awesome. He was their their second option, really

612
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: and now he's hurt and now it's it is Dame time.

613
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: And and Yanni is saying it's Dame's team. That's really

614
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 4: interesting just to me because Yeah, I totally agree, especially

615
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 4: with Joel embiad out. Obviously, it's hard to see a

616
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 4: team that's gonna knock off the Boston Celtics, but the

617
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: Milwaukee Bucks probably feel like that, and they have looked

618
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 4: better defensively, which is really weird since Duck Rivers took over.

619
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I said this on the Thinking Basketball podcast that

620
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: we went on this week. It feels like to me,

621
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: if Kristaps Porzingis is healthy come the playoffs and can

622
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: continue to be healthy, and everybody else on the Celtics

623
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: is like their top seven guys, they should go to

624
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: the finals. They look clearly above these other teams, especially

625
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: when you consider all the injuries, Like, yeah, the Bucks,

626
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 3: the Knicks are scrappy, obviously they got some injuries too.

627
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: The Calves have looked awesome, and then there is that

628
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: the zombie Heat, who you know you never want to

629
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 3: see come the postseason. They turn into a different beast,

630
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: or at least Jimmy does. But I just don't see

631
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: a team. I don't see a team in the East

632
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: beating them four times at seven, especially with the Porzingis

633
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: angle where they post them up, you obviously can stretch

634
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: the floor. He gives them a defensive backbone, you know, obviously,

635
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 3: can you then have Al Horford that you can put

636
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: on matchups? They look they just look awesome, and like,

637
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna get interesting in the MVP race.

638
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: I guess has another storyline to sort of slip in here.

639
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: It's Yokich, It's Sga. We said, Luca and maybe honest

640
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 3: is still there. What happens if the Celtics have, you know,

641
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: sixty wins. They're the only sixty win team, let's say,

642
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: clearly above other teams. Where's Tatum in the conversation? Maybe

643
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: the numbers are not as impressive as some of the

644
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: other guys, but a lot of the times we go, man,

645
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: that's a sixty to sixty five win team. He's by

646
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: far their best player. Where's the love for him? So

647
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: he's gonna be in there in the in the mix here.

648
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: I don't think he'll ultimately win it, but it's looking

649
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: like they're they're gonna have, of course, home court advantage

650
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: in the East. They might have wrapped up home court

651
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: of Vanage in a potential finals matchup against any of

652
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: these Western Conference teams.

653
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 5: They've already got five more wins than Minnesota right now, right,

654
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 5: and they're playing in the West.

655
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, in Minnesota. I do find interesting just because

656
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 4: they're so bad in fourth quarters. It is strange that

657
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: they have the seventeenth best offense and then they just

658
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 4: it's even. It's good through the first three quarters, but

659
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 4: then it just stops in the fourth quarter. Their twentieth

660
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 4: in clutch offense and the fifth highest turnover percentage in

661
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 4: clutch time. So it is going to be on Anthony

662
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: Edwards obviously, Mike Conley get that new contract that we'll

663
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: talk about, Monte Morris to a degree, but everybody moving

664
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 4: the ball a little bit more. They just become so

665
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 4: staggering in the fourth quarter. And they've had this this

666
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 4: film session to try and try and figure it out

667
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 4: because they can't. And so that's that's got to be

668
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: something that they're trying to figure out here in the

669
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: second half. But there's there's lots of fun stuff in

670
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 4: the West. This new starting lineup for the Golden State

671
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 4: Warriors and Brandon Putjemski taking over Klay Thompson's spot and

672
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 4: then looking freaking good. The Clay Trace Jackson Davis yesterday

673
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 4: was really really fun. There's lots of stuff. I hope

674
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: Joel and Bie comes back too, because they're terrible without him. Obviously,

675
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: the defense to third worst defense since he's been out.

676
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 4: That's where this MVP doesn't get a lot of credit

677
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 4: on the defense.

678
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: Bend any other storylines worth noting here, Tka got on

679
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: your list.

680
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: Top four in the West is a huge one to watch.

681
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 5: I'm thinking Minnesota and okay See probably stay in the

682
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 5: top two, just because they're both really good young teams,

683
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: and I think they'll both value having home court advantage.

684
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 5: I can see Denver jumping up to three depending on health.

685
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: They're a pretty shallow team, so maybe four could be had.

686
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

687
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 5: The Clippers had a great run in the second third

688
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 5: of the season, you know, like they were on a roll.

689
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 5: I guess the Mavericks have the easiest schedule of the

690
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 5: teams that are stuck in five through eight right now,

691
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 5: and the Warriors have the easiest schedule of the teams

692
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 5: that are in the play in. I think Dallas would

693
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 5: love to be a four seed going against probably the Clippers,

694
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 5: who would have to drop to five in that scenario.

695
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 5: But it feels like it's still jumbled up. It feels

696
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 5: like we've got a top four, but I do think

697
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 5: a team could.

698
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: Certainly break in there.

699
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 5: I mean, it's three games right now between the Nuggets

700
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 5: and fourth. They're tied with the Clippers, uh, games wise,

701
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 5: not percentage wise, and then it's three games down to

702
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 5: the Pelicans, four games down to the Mavericks. So it

703
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 5: have to be a great run from both of those

704
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 5: either of those teams to make a run at home

705
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 5: court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. That's

706
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: why Luca has gotta call him his temper boy tendencies here,

707
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 5: because if he gets the sixteen, he's getting suspended for

708
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 5: some of the most important games of the season, or

709
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 5: he'll just get all these rescinded by talking his way

710
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 5: out of it. But the top four in the West

711
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 5: is stacked, and it feels like it could possibly change.

712
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: We'll see anything else storylines.

713
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: Wise, No, I think I've think I've gone through them all. Yeah,

714
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 4: the West is ridiculous. I mean, the playing term is

715
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 4: the most excited I've ever been in a for a

716
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: playoff Uraman ever.

717
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: Really, I mean, I thought the most more exciting Bulls

718
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: Raptors last year.

719
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we've already seen Lakers.

720
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: Warriors in a play and we saw a girl screaming

721
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: at a guy shooting free throw. Yeah, change the outcome

722
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: of a playing game.

723
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: There are a lot of all NBA guys that right

724
00:32:58,920 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 2: now are in seven through two.

725
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 3: No, I know that's crazy when you do look at

726
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: the standings, like even like you know, the Kings we

727
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: glossed over they won and when we had the near

728
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: five by five, but they won again, and then like, yeah,

729
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: the Suns are a good team, especially when they got

730
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: the full squad. They're like, they're not going to be

731
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 3: an easy no team at the top of these West

732
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: like the one through four, it feels like nobody's gonna

733
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: be like, yes, all right, Like even the Pelicans are

734
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 3: a good team with some playoff experience, Like that's not

735
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: a cakewalk, so there's gonna be you very likely. Well,

736
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: when it comes to the four or five matchup, that's

737
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: like a flip of the coin. I mean, I think

738
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: fifty percent of the time the number five seed moves on,

739
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 3: but even three six, again like last year with the

740
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: Kings and Warriors, that could be one where it's you know,

741
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 3: prime for an upset. Depends on matchups, I guess, and

742
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see if there's any jockeying of like, Oh,

743
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: I don't really we don't really want matchup well against them.

744
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: We don't want to play them. We'd rather play these

745
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: other teams. But that'll be tough to do because it's

746
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 3: so jumbled up. So good luck doing that. Good stuff.

747
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 3: Let's take our first break when we come back. Lots

748
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: of news to talk about Mike Conly, the All Star Game,

749
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 3: and a whole lot more anywhere. All right, if you

750
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 3: are still with us, good to know that means the

Speaker 3: power is still on. Hit the like button, Make sure

00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: shrimp cocktail.

754
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: That almost horse radish.

755
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 4: Right now, I'm eating shrimp with my left hand, fidgeting

756
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 4: some wood.

757
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: Fidgeting with shrimp in my right hand, stick in my left.

758
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: Delicious flavors like a horse radish.

759
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: Oh man, hit crazy, hit would be wild.

760
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 5: I had people texting me about the shrimp cocktail at

761
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 5: sat almost you go get shrimp cocktail. My wife makes

762
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: delicious fried tuna cakes and I put the sauce on it.

763
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm surprised you didn't buy a bottle of

764
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 3: the sauce.

765
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: Oh right, I didn't see you could, Yeah you could.

766
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: You guys got all caught up in the merch that

767
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: they had. You forgot about the ingredients.

768
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 4: That's right. I would love to fidget with that. That's

769
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 4: pour it out first and then I'd fidget with it. Yeah.

770
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 4: But it's like it's like a fidget spinner. It feels

771
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 4: like that the natural wood. Yeah, you know, I could

772
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 4: see it. I could see it spinning on a fidget

773
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: spinner right now. They should do an ad for that.

774
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you're know what you're talking about.

775
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: The fidget spinner. You know those games? Yeah, for years?

776
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's the same sort of Okay.

777
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 5: I am always impressed. There was that kid in your

778
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 5: high school who could like spin a pencil on his finger,

779
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 5: you know.

780
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was a cool move. Ye do that

781
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: with your fume.

782
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 3: I kissed. I had a good I had a good

783
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 3: uh semester where I had mastered the letterman flip, like

784
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 3: the chuck it and like sort of catch it without

785
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 3: looking at it. But I could never do what you're saying,

786
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 3: like the downing the waterfall.

787
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 4: That was fun.

788
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: That's what they called that.

789
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, no idea if they did.

790
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 4: But Yeah, don't don't go trying waterfalls. I could do

791
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 4: it on one finger, I could do it on five. Yeah,

792
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 4: like people next level?

793
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's get into an updown report. You

794
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: can tell the boys haven't done a podcast. All right,

795
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: Another NBA All Star Game has coming gone. It was

796
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 3: once again an uninspiring Sunday night game was a dud,

797
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: big old turd, despite expectations that the league was going

798
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: to fix it. Instead we got all two eleven to

799
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: one eighty six East win and a disappointed dad Adam Silvers,

800
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 3: and it was. It was at least the talk in

801
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 3: the NBA media for a couple of days. So the

802
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 3: question is the up down is really almost around the

803
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 3: discourse around it. Are you up or down? Tray on

804
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 3: fixing the All Star Game? Is this something that needs fixing?

805
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 3: Your thumbs up if you want to and we should.

806
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 3: You're down if you're like, who cares? Let it be?

807
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm honestly probably a little bit a little

808
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 5: both thumbs up, a little sucker.

809
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: Man, like the All Star Game. Talk to a lot

810
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: of people since it. One person has liked it? Who

811
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 2: Andre Andre? Last night was like, hey man, two hundred points?

812
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: Oh god, it was cool.

813
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 5: That's a lot of points. I mean seeing anam Lillard

814
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 5: shoot from half court. He made a half quarter and

815
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 5: both halves. It's pretty impressive. But to me, what it

816
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 5: comes down to is the NFL dominates things. They finally

817
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 5: end their season, the NBA has a big showcase, and

818
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: all that happens for the week after as people talking

819
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 5: trash about how the NBA went down. So I don't

820
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 5: know exactly how they fix it. It could either be

821
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 5: more fun or more competitive. I don't know how much

822
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 5: more competitive they can make it, but why not just

823
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 5: try the elam ending. At least then you're getting a

824
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 5: competitive finish, right because you have to get to a

825
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 5: certain score.

826
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 2: We have seen those come down.

827
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 5: To free throws quite often, which isn't the most exciting,

828
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 5: but at least you know the game is going to

829
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 5: be close, or if you just want to make it

830
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 5: more fun. Started at three o'clock so that like the

831
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 5: kids who really like what's going on out there can

832
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 5: watch it.

833
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, kids were having fun even through this game. I

834
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 4: mean they were tweeting and sharing Luka Doncic, you know,

835
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 4: really missing a dunk like that was terrible or other

836
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 4: guys just either screwing up up or firing from three

837
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 4: point line. I too spoke with people who don't watch

838
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 4: basketball every week, but they saw it had Dame step

839
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 4: into half court shot or Halliburton step into half court shots,

840
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 4: and they're like, wow, that's kind of fun, but it

841
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 4: is really weird when they start in the middle of

842
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: the night. Frankly, that's what it felt like. This is

843
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 4: a basketball game, So I wouldn't just say pro bowl

844
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 4: it even you can go further and go just let's

845
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 4: just have fun and yeah, four shots, play horse, Yeah,

846
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 4: play bump, which does sound like fun a little bit.

847
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 4: But to be an actual game, I think you have

848
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 4: to treat it a bit like an actual game. Like first,

849
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 4: don't start at fricking forty five minutes after it's supposed

850
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 4: to start. I mean, you're supposed to tune in at

851
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 4: eight eight o'clock. All the fans who are sitting there,

852
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 4: who basically paid a heck of a lot to be

853
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 4: there and are just corporate fans, they're not real fans.

854
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 4: I mean that's a problem as well. Lets some actual

855
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 4: actual fans in the arena and actually let the players

856
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 4: treat it like a game. Players couldn't actually warm up.

857
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 4: That was the weird thing to me. They're actually out

858
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 4: there ninety minutes before the game, but they weren't allowed

859
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: to touch the ball because they were just doing a

860
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 4: little rehearsal for the intros with what was going on

861
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 4: where you know, they announce every guy and he comes out,

862
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: so let them warm up a little bit and I

863
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 4: get a basketball hold on.

864
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 3: But that's not why they then lollygaggett through the All

865
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 3: Star game because they couldn't warm up. Well, that's you know,

866
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: that's their choice. No one wants to get injured. It's

867
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: an exhibition game, and this is what people want, or

868
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 3: a lot of people want. These people don't even want

869
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 3: forty eight minutes. People just want six minutes, five minutes

870
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 3: of like, hey, are we gonna try it all on? Defense?

871
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 3: Is gonna look anything like a game? And Silver sold

872
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 3: us for a year That's exactly what it was gonna be.

873
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 4: Well us, these guys actually play basketball three every game

874
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 4: that they play, they go and warm up beforehand. That

875
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 4: is their habit, that is their routine. They need to

876
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 4: be in that to some degree. I mean, the last

877
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 4: twenty years, guys haven't played incredible defense, but they played

878
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. I think what you have to

879
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 4: do is maybe four games. I like the elam ending,

880
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 4: but maybe just call them four games where you play

881
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 4: to fifty points or whatever, and you have twelve guys

882
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 4: on your team, so they don't have to play every

883
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 4: minute of every game. These four quarters are four games,

884
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,479
Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it, because guys don't play

885
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: in fact, like PG set out the second and third quarters,

886
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 4: you didn't even play in them. Kawhi set out the

887
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 4: second half, Lebron set out the second half. So I

888
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 4: think it it is kind of strain strained on these

889
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 4: guys to go out and expect them to run up

890
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 4: and down while guys are shooting from mid court. I mean,

891
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: that's that's a little much to ask. But if you

892
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 4: play them way less, there's a possibility. So I still

893
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 4: think they're going to try and make it a game.

894
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 4: I think I don't think there's a question, but maybe

895
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 4: you play around with how this game is formatted.

896
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean, I think I think Trace said it right.

897
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 3: You pick one of two routes, because right now it's

898
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: in the worst spot, right in the middle. It's not

899
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 3: competitive at all, and honestly, it's not fun at all.

900
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 3: It's not it's like cool to see the odd three

901
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: pointer from fifty feet. There was not a lot of

902
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 3: fun moments in that game. One guy got nutmegged, what

903
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 3: traded it to KDI?

904
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, come on, those are fun games like the Luca

905
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 5: and okay, that was funny, and yeah how many.

906
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 4: How many fun moments have you had over the last

907
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 4: twenty years? There aren't many fun Sure, it's not a game.

908
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: So lean into one or the other. Either try and

909
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 3: get back to making this competitive and I'll get to

910
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 3: that in a second, because it's probably a lost cause.

911
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: Or just lean so hard into making it what it is.

912
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 3: You know, it's a marketing tool for the NBA. It's

913
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 3: supposed to be fun. It's for kids. So go rock

914
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: and jock style. Go, especially with the led court that

915
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 3: you could likely install come San Francisco and have like

916
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,479
Speaker 3: spots on the floor that's worth ten points, or hey,

917
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: you can't take a three pointer on this possession, Like

918
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: get insane with it if you want. And I think

919
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 3: that could be I don't know a little more something

920
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: that you might be intrigued to watch, Like let them

921
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 3: have way more fun, almost force them to have more

922
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 3: fun and less like this actual pretend we're gonna have

923
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: a game, which Silver did say for a year, Halliburton

924
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 3: sort of said as well, and then we didn't. It

925
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: got even worse than most of these other ones. So

926
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 3: I would like to see that if this is what

927
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be now, the competitive just like, oh yeah,

928
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll be a sponsor, don't worry, that won't

929
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 3: be an issue. The competitive way though, which yeah, I'm

930
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 3: a traditionalist. I would like to see them compete again again.

931
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can never get back there.

932
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: John Greenberg had a great idea from the athletic Everyone

933
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 3: talks about upping the prize money, right, a lot of

934
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 3: people just saying we'll just give them more money. And

935
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: people roll their eyes at that. These guys, you know,

936
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 3: make forty fifty sixty million dollar a year. We're just

937
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: gonna give them more money. What if the losing players

938
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 3: had to pay the prize money to the winners? Hilarious

939
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: idea would be very funny. Will never happen, but a

940
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: funny idea that we wouldn't make it more competitive, I

941
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: would think. I like this other idea though, and it's

942
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 3: a bit of a it maybe as a logistical nightmare.

943
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 3: But I think I heard Malika Andrews first pitch it,

944
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 3: and then I was talking to someone on Twitter about it.

945
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: All these guys want over All Star weekend is they

946
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: want a break. And the weird part is they're selected

947
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 3: as an All Star, so they go to this event

948
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: this weekend where they're you know, going around doing all

949
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: their sponsorships and I'm sure they're partying. You're not getting

950
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 3: much of a break. It's probably of anything more exhausting

951
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 3: than some of the guys that aren't All Stars and

952
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 3: you know, f off for a week and go to

953
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 3: go to the beach. So what if we say all

954
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: the players on the winning team they get a longer

955
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: post All Star vacation. Okay, hear me out here. Basically,

956
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: what I'm proposing is flip one, two three can coon

957
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: on its head and make it the incentive for what

958
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 3: these guys I think want. And three level score on

959
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: Twitter said there's something to that. Winning players get a

960
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 3: reduction in their sixty five game minimum to be eligible

961
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 3: for prizes. It gets reduced to say, sixty two games,

962
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 3: no questions asked, so they could load manage for like

963
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: a week here in Cancun, after the All Star break. Oh,

964
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: I love it. Let them play for something they really want.

965
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 3: These guys are trying to race each other to their

966
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: private jets to get the hell out of Indianapolis.

967
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 5: Okay, skills challenge, this crop bag check.

968
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, it's silly, but it's funny. If we

969
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 3: really did want to try and make a competitive maybe

970
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 3: there's something there. They want to play for vacation because

971
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: they're exhausted halfway through the season, So make it mistakes,

972
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 3: say all right, winning team, winning team gets more vacation.

973
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 3: It would be amazing. I think they would play quite

974
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 3: hard for that personally, but maybe not. Maybe just nobody

975
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: wants to get injured. Oh we fixed it.

976
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: How about getting rid of the three point line? Does

977
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: that do anything?

978
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously the players will still be able to

979
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 5: make the shots from far away, but it doesn't add

980
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 5: up as fast.

981
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, I like that. Like again, I think what's

982
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 3: wrong with like suddenly something flashes like or maybe it's

983
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: like you only get thirty three point attempts this game,

984
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: or it's like something like that, Like just make up

985
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 3: the parameters because the answer your question, I think it would

986
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 3: change it a little bit because you really can't play

987
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: defense when a guy just every guy is pulling from

988
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 3: thirty feet, So yeah, probably sticking Damian.

989
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: Lillard from right.

990
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on. I'm glad we got our

991
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 3: little fix the All Star Game. Talking at the end,

992
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 3: All right, Next one, Jock Vaughan out as head coach

993
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 3: of the Brooklyn Nets. The dismissal, announced early Monday morning,

994
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 3: came five days after the Nets lost to the Celtics

995
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 3: by fifty points, second biggest margin in franchise history. Brooklyn

996
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 3: promoted assistant Kevin Ollie to interim head coach on Tuesday,

997
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: hoping he can re energize the roster. Didn't work against

998
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: the Raptors last night, but tasks up or down on

999
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 3: the Nets canning Jacque Vaughan, Were you shocked at all

1000
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 3: or what do you think?

1001
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 4: It was an interesting timing after the All Star Game,

1002
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 4: when everybody's talking about the All Star Game and how

1003
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 4: to fix it. Sneak this in here. Really, what has

1004
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 4: to happen on this team is they have to want

1005
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 4: to play a little bit harder. The fast break points

1006
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 4: yesterday and Kevin Ali's debut that was ridiculous for the

1007
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 4: Raps were just able to run up and down and

1008
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 4: score twenty three buckets in transition. Think about that.

1009
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, not points, now three baskets buckets.

1010
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: That's hard to do.

1011
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: Game.

1012
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the defense was harder in the

1013
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 4: All Star Game than the Brooklyn That's yesterday, which is

1014
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 4: which is said, Uh, they haven't had chemistry since since

1015
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 4: training camp, and frankly, they kind of went through Ben

1016
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 4: Simmons the entire team the entire season. And I know

1017
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,720
Speaker 4: he's been out, but that's how they kind of started.

1018
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 4: Jack Vaughan is giving him the ball. They just they

1019
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 4: aren't on the same page. And Jacqvaan really believed in him.

1020
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 4: Every time Ben Simmons got injured, he kind of played

1021
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 4: it down as in, this injury isn't a big deal.

1022
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 4: This injury isn't a big deal. He got the up,

1023
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 4: a dural injection, no setbacks, all good. So I don't know,

1024
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 4: the team just doesn't believe in Jock vad.

1025
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: But they started fifteen and fifteen. The Nets did this

1026
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 3: year like they were okay, that's probably better than a

1027
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 3: lot of people thought they were gonna be. And then

1028
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 3: everybody keeps pointing to this decision of Jacque Vaughan. I know,

1029
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 3: Tim Bontemps was all over this at ESPN, his decision

1030
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 3: to not play or barely play or not play like

1031
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 3: all of his top players in that lost to the

1032
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 3: Bucks where they got hammered back on December twenty seventh,

1033
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 3: and then since then the record has just been brutal.

1034
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 3: They got fined for that, I think one hundred thousand

1035
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 3: and like it was just weird. But yeah, did you

1036
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 3: have take on Jacque Vaughan.

1037
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 5: They also lost by fifty right before they all start break, right,

1038
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, I don't know. I guess I'm up on

1039
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,959
Speaker 5: this because if he really based the team's offense around

1040
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 5: Ben Simmons going into the twenty three twenty four season,

1041
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,959
Speaker 5: then that's why. I mean, that's exactly why the team

1042
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 5: probably shouldn't be this bad. They've got a lot of

1043
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 5: good players, but clearly they gave up on Jacque Vaughan.

1044
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 5: He was kind of leftover from the KD Kyrie Ero

1045
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 5: when they didn't want to coach anyways. So right right,

1046
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 5: like literally they're like getting ash out of here, we

1047
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 5: just want to coach the team ourselves. That didn't work either,

1048
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 5: they're gone. So now he's gone, it's fine, Like it's fine,

1049
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 5: if he's not gonna be that helpful with development, then

1050
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 5: bring in a younger guy who can.

1051
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. When asked for specifics on what led to Vaughan's firing,

1052
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 3: GM Shawn Marx pointed to a lack of energy and

1053
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 3: effort that that plays sorry, plays that equate to a

1054
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 3: winning basketball. So like just no, and if you watch them,

1055
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 3: there was I mean even it continued last year. For

1056
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: being all honest with Ali in there now. But he'll

1057
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 3: get a chance to try and turn this team around.

1058
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they're still within striking distance of

1059
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 3: a of a play in appearance, but nobody has a

1060
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 3: lot of faith in them doing much even if they

1061
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 3: got in there. But yeah, he's out. Jock Vaughan. He

1062
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 3: was an interim head coach a couple of times. They've

1063
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 3: had a lot of coaches in Brooklyn, Yes, they have

1064
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 3: since they've went to Brooklyn. The Nets, a whole lot

1065
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 3: of them could.

1066
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 2: Have just kept Kenny Atkins.

1067
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, probably probably could have done that. Well, we'll

1068
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 3: see what kind of Kevin Ollie can do, because he was, uh,

1069
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 3: this is his first head coaching stint, even though I

1070
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 3: remember he was like he was in like circles there

1071
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 3: as a name that was maybe going to get a

1072
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 3: job a couple of years ago but never got it.

1073
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 3: And then what happened with him at Yukon? Was there

1074
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: a scandal with.

1075
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 5: They did win the NCAA tournament. I don't think it

1076
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 5: ended well though, I don't remember exactly what happened.

1077
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Okay, Moving on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

1078
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 3: They are near the top of the West and they

1079
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: are keeping a core player in place. Per multiple reports

1080
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: this week, the Wolves and point guard Mike Conley have

1081
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: agreed to a two year, twenty one million dollar extension

1082
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: that will keep him in Many until the twenty five

1083
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 3: to twenty sixth season. TK thumbs up thumbs down on

1084
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 3: Conley and the Wolves and this two year extension.

1085
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an easy thumbs up.

1086
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 5: I mean, Mike Conley is a good player, simply put,

1087
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 5: and they got him on a great deal, and it's

1088
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 5: a guy that they need to keep around, just having

1089
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 5: the vet in the room who can actually play and

1090
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 5: who it's actually kind of vital to their team, helping

1091
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 5: settle them down in fourth quarters when maybe it's kind

1092
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 5: of becoming like an Anthony Edwards Karl Anthony Towns, your turn,

1093
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,240
Speaker 5: my turn. Somebody's got to get a basket here. Conley

1094
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 5: gets him into their sets. He's got great chemistry with

1095
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 5: Gobert from years of playing together in Utah and it just

1096
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 5: seems like an awesome dude to have around all the time.

1097
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 5: So to get him on a deal like this, that's

1098
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 5: it easy up.

1099
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nice deal on a team that's paying

1100
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 4: a lot of money to not only Anthony Edwards and Cat,

1101
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 4: but Rudy Gobert, who's making over forty So you got

1102
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 4: to have somebody on the cheap and Mike Conley doing

1103
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,320
Speaker 4: that because he's made so much money over his career

1104
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 4: as as a member of the Members Grizzlies, he was

1105
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 4: the highest paid player in the league for a second,

1106
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 4: but he deserves every single dollar he gets here. He's

1107
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 4: just had a great year. Yeah, it's it's it's awesome

1108
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 4: to watch him play. He's he's extremely key to this

1109
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 4: team and he'll play it on both ends and he'll

1110
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 4: be happy to not take every single shot. But he's

1111
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 4: shooting forty four percent from three, career high. That's that's

1112
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 4: great stuff from him. And yeah, a teammate that as

1113
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 4: Trey said, everybody wants, so I think he's a nice

1114
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 4: glue piece for the other stars on this team.

1115
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he never hurts you too. He's second in

1116
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 3: the league and assist a turnover ratio and is actually

1117
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: flirting with a career high when it comes to assists

1118
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 3: per game. I like that he made it clear here

1119
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: in this extension that he's at the point of his

1120
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: NBA career and really life where there are things probably

1121
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 3: more important to him than just like trying to squeeze

1122
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 3: out every last buck or even hitting free agency in

1123
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: summer where he likely would have gotten more. He wants

1124
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 3: to win a title because he hasn't won one. So

1125
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,280
Speaker 3: he's on a good team in Minnesota. Obviously a chance

1126
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: maybe within these next couple of years, especially when you

1127
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 3: look up all their principal guys Rudy, Carl, Anthony Edwards,

1128
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 3: Nas McDaniels, now Conley, they're all sort of locked up

1129
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 3: for several seasons. And the other thing is he just

1130
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 3: like he likes his family there. He doesn't want to

1131
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 3: be like Ring chasing at the end of his career,

1132
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 3: bouncing from city to city, having to uproot his family.

1133
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 3: He's got three young kids, like he didn't want to

1134
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 3: do that. So he's like, yeah, let's come to an

1135
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 3: agreement here. I'm happy with this and we'll see what

1136
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 3: we can do here come playoff time. Yeah, really good extension.

1137
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 3: Sort of a no brainer with the level he's still

1138
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: playing at despite his age, and he definitely doesn't hurt

1139
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 3: your team. Final one. This week, the NBA media took

1140
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 3: naval gazing to the next level when JJ Reddick called

1141
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 3: out his former head coach Doc Rivers, who he will

1142
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 3: be replacing on the NBA Finals coverage. Quote, this is JJ.

1143
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 3: I've seen the trend for years. The trend is always

1144
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 3: making excuses Doc. We get it. Taking over a team

1145
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 3: in the middle of the season is hard. It's always

1146
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 3: an excuse though. It's always throwing your team under the bus.

1147
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 3: There's never accountability with that guy. End quote. So this

1148
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick's comments about Doc fired up Patrick Beverley, fired

1149
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 3: up Austin Rivers. You know these guys taking to Twitter

1150
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: and first take defending Doc, sort of clapping back at JJ,

1151
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 3: who then turned around clapped back at them all. This

1152
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 3: shit went viral and we had a lot of it

1153
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 3: for the last couple of days. So tas Mellis are

1154
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 3: you up or down on Reddick slamming Doc Rivers and

1155
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 3: then the media blowback that JJ received. I'm just lumping

1156
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 3: it all together.

1157
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot here. I go up and down.

1158
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 4: I want the whole story. JJ Redick is obviously upset

1159
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 4: with his clippers days. With Doc Rivers. It goes way back,

1160
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 4: and we've had we've had little little crumbs of that story,

1161
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 4: but I want them all. I mean this is He

1162
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 4: basically didn't didn't go into it all that much, even

1163
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 4: though ESPN's headline on YouTube was JJ Redick go's caps.

1164
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: Lock scorched earth on Doc.

1165
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 4: Rivers for making excuses and really he just said.

1166
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: He said what Twitter has been saying for about a

1167
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 3: year or two.

1168
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 4: Yeah. But Doc Rivers basically said after the Memphis Grizzlies

1169
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 4: loss where they thumped the Milwaukee Bucks, he said, some

1170
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 4: of our guys are in Cabo, are already on All

1171
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 4: Star break kind of thing. JJ Reddick basically said, he

1172
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 4: throws everybody under the bus number one and number two.

1173
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 4: He takes credit for the JJ I'm sorry the James

1174
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 4: Harden trade this past week, which is which was the

1175
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 4: weird thing that that thing. That thing was weird why

1176
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 4: take credit for that? I mean that does seem like

1177
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 4: Doc wants credit over the years. That's totally true. But

1178
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 4: I want this, I want the juice. I want why

1179
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 4: Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan did not get along in

1180
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 4: Los Angeles. I want to know why JJ Redick was

1181
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 4: upset with that team. I mean that was like, that

1182
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 4: was a good freaking team. We need a dock on

1183
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 4: that team.

1184
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 5: Not a Doctor Doctor series coming out about that.

1185
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1186
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, Laurence Fishburn is Doc Rivers. I think that inches.

1187
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 3: Ago though, Okay, great, Maybe this is all marketing for it.

1188
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 4: Man, it looked like a soft porn if I remember

1189
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 4: that the poster correct. I can't wait to.

1190
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 3: What do you think could make of all this you know,

1191
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick stuff this week?

1192
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 5: I'm up on it because it led to some hilarious

1193
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 5: Doc Rivers beams, like warning the Spartans about the Trojan Horse.

1194
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 5: J knows how to play the game, both the game

1195
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 5: of basketball and the game of media, because when he

1196
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 5: is the finals broadcaster, he's going to be super well

1197
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 5: prepared great takes, knowing everything about that, and then when

1198
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:22,680
Speaker 5: he goes on first take, he knows how to get

1199
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 5: people completely riled up by saying what everybody says on Twitter,

1200
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 5: and that just touched a nerve with the right people.

1201
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 5: Patrick Beverley, who obviously he's got some beef with, and

1202
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 5: then Austin Rivers, who has a dad.

1203
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 2: In to defense fair enough. So yeah, I don't know much.

1204
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1205
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 5: It was nothing else to talk about in the NBA

1206
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 5: world for a few days, and they figured out a

1207
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 5: way to cover three days more chatter.

1208
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 3: All of this going on, I was starting to convince myself, Yeah,

1209
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 3: cancel All Star weekend completely, just keep it going, keep

1210
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 3: the season going, because this is what happens when we

1211
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 3: have this break and there's no actual bathball to Doc.

1212
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a good forty eight hours, yes,

1213
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 3: that they milked out of this, and it was entertaining.

1214
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 3: Some people love this stuff, and that was saying I

1215
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 3: mean JJ even spoke to that, right. There was a

1216
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 3: whole that clip where he's saying, I do this deep

1217
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 3: dive on Zion Williamson and his playmaking and all that,

1218
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: and then it only gets fifty thousand humble break, JJ.

1219
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 3: Relax man, we'll take that out of but his point is,

1220
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 3: you know, I pop off on Doc and then that's

1221
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 3: a that's a ten million dollars, ten millions of views,

1222
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:26,920
Speaker 3: maybe dollars. I don't know how they're doing over there.

1223
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 3: I think they're doing well. So yeah, that too. But

1224
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 3: then yeah, people were like, come, come, well, it's a

1225
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 3: whole other argument about what fans want. There's some fans

1226
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 3: that want the Zion breakdown, and there are some fans,

1227
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 3: many fans that just want the beef. That's right, which

1228
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 3: is why we had a whole segment on NBA TV

1229
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 3: called The butcher Shop for a Man, and they cut

1230
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 3: it because they didn't want the NBA didn't want it

1231
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 3: because they knew it would be the most popular segment

1232
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 3: of all time.

1233

Speaker 4: to know the juice about about why JJ Reddick was peeved.

1237
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:07,560

1298
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,480

1299
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 3: got the questions this week.

1300
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 4: First one here Victor Woman. Y'am is Louis Vuitton's newest ambassador. Yeah,

1301
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 4: he was looking sharp in those zip ups. You look good.

1302
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 4: Pick a brand that would make the most sense for

1303
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 4: you to represent. Skeets Getta started.

1304
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 3: I don't think it's all that crazy, right, It's pretty obvious.

1305
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 2: The Hallmarkers were tight.

1306
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, sure, they don't send me a magazine

1307
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 3: every year. I don't know why. I gotta beg for one.

1308
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 3: I gotta go online and do it. But I mean,

1309
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 3: no one talks about the Hammackerslama Catalog more than I do.

1310
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 3: You're right, over the last ten years for nobody, in fact,

1311
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 3: I have, I have, you know, brought people to the catalog.

1312
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 3: People didn't even know this was a thing. So I

1313
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 3: think this is they should be paying me for all

1314
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: this advertising. So I'll go with the ham Makers Lama Catalog.

1315
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 4: It sounds like a natural relationship, right, Trey.

1316
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 2: What do you got as a factory worker from the Midwest.

1317
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 2: It's got to be Carhart for me.

1318
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, good.

1319
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,520

01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 5: Heart hats. That's not one I'm wearing right now, but

1321

1327
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,160

1334
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's he's pretty fashionable, so maybe I don't know.

1335
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 3: Good good answer, though, I like that brand for you.

1336
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 4: You're totally right, Trey Myles Turner, Bruce Brown. Here's a

1337
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 4: Stetson story title, Cowboys of the Court that the two

1338
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 4: are featured in. Yeah, but we had a.

1339
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 3: We had a working theory that there you you couldn't

1340
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 3: have two Cowboys on the same team in Indiana, and

1341
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 3: that they had like a little quick draw to see,

1342
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 3: uh who had to go, And I guess Myles Turner

1343
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 3: got a beat, Brown got sent out, Brown out of town.

1344
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 6: Right all right, yeah, I know I just said I

1345
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,919
Speaker 6: suck a pickle ball, but bread and butter pickle ball.

1346
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 4: Hook me up.

1347
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 6: This I haven't bought my I'm looking for at the

1348
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 6: loco the paddle, but this is right that what Rachel

1349
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 6: uses the filth she walks.

1350
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: Onto the court.

1351
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 6: Here comes Rachel, Here comes Rachel. It's gonna light me

1352
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 6: up that, Like seriously, they just they love her. They're like, oh,

1353
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 6: you play with me, play with me, but play with me.

1354
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 6: And I'm like skulking off into the corner like like

1355
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 6: sad Charlie Brown over there.

1356
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 3: You know, it would be a cool flex JD. Once

1357
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 3: you uh become dominant at pick a ball, have the

1358
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 3: paddle like you had there obviously the whatever the pad

1359
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 3: on one side, on the other side, have a mirror

1360
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 3: and like you score a point, you're always like looking

1361
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 3: at yourself.

1362
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, like a gorgeous george.

1363
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah that's actually awesome.

1364
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 4: I like that like that a lot. All right, I'll

1365
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 4: work on that, so like a mirror on the paddle.

1366
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, side, the one side, so every time you score,

1367
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 3: like turning around. That was a nice shut.

1368
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: That's nice, I shot me. I love that. Actually on

1369
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 2: the back of your pickleball paddle. That's good.

1370
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 3: It's like it's like the model Rick Martel, right, like

1371
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 3: the wrestler. He sort of was always doing that a mirror.

1372
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, val Venus, mister wonderful. They all did it.

1373
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 4: That's interesting that they're called a paddle period for me,

1374
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 4: because I called it a racket earlier, because I thought

1375
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 4: an NBA crossover. It was the first time I held one. Actually,

1376
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 4: I thought it'd be bigger, maybe because you know, you

1377
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 4: play on a court feel I have not. Yeah, I'm

1378
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 4: holding out. I'm not gotting you out holding out. The

1379
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 4: world is coming, it's happening. You probably had picktball courts

1380
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 4: in your yea, in my house. Oh really, I designed it.

1381
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 4: I made it. I'm letting everybody else play first. Next one.

1382
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 4: Saint John's University's head coach Rick Bettino isn't having fun

1383
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 4: in his first season there. He said, quote, I'm not

1384
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 4: gonna lie to you, this is the most unenjoyable experience

1385
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 4: of my lifetime, Saint John's fifteen to twelve. I guess

1386
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 4: that's not good. What's the worst time you had? What's

1387
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 4: the worst time you had at your job? Skeats, any job?

1388
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 4: Any Yeah, yeah, not this one, unless you want to

1389
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 4: say this one.

1390
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 3: I have never had a bad time with this job.

1391
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 3: But you guys know, I've had a million jobs, and

1392
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 3: one of them in particular, probably the worst time was

1393
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 3: right after high school. Didn't know what I wanted to

1394
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 3: do for college, decided I was going to travel, had

1395
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 3: no money, had to make some money, so I took

1396
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 3: a job at a factory in Strafford, Ontario. It was

1397
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 3: a car factory, and the first gig I got was

1398
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 3: the graveyard ship in a car factory, cleaning the robotics,

1399
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 3: getting all the parts ready for the guys that would

1400
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 3: come in at like six in the morning. So I

1401
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 3: worked from you know, like ten to six. There were

1402
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 3: like five people including myself in this giant ass factory

1403
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 3: some lonely nights.

1404
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 4: Guys.

1405
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 3: This is this is pre podcast days too, So like

1406
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 3: maybe now you could at least, you know, have your

1407
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 3: phone and listen to something just me and my thoughts.

1408
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 3: At least I'm making money here. I'm gonna be in

1409
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,479
Speaker 3: Australia in a couple of months. But those were those

1410
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 3: bad times, some Rick Patino times in that car factory. Crap. Yeah,

1411
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 3: it was a cleaning robots. Yeah, like it sounds cool.

1412
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 3: It is not dirty as ship. I'm like inhaling stuff

1413
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 3: that is probably gonna knock twenty years off my life.

1414
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 3: And know the worst part was sure the cleaning was

1415
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 3: the cleaning. But like we would, I would take a

1416
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 3: pedal and I would put it in this MACHINEO just

1417
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 3: stamp on the pedal. So just one at a time,

1418
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 3: put it in close it stamp and then take it

1419
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 3: out and do that and just have thousands of them

1420
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 3: and that would be my shift. Sometimes that's all I

1421
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 3: would do for a week. Yeah.

1422
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 2: What kind of cars were you making?

1423
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Uh had no idea. It wasn't that interested.

1424
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 2: Never got I never got to work the grid.

1425
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what they worked.

1426
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Chevy cruises.

1427
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 3: Uh it was a Toyota plant, I'm pretty sure. Yeah.

1428
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1429
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 2: Well the good thing is that those cars you helped

1430
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 2: build it probably still.

1431
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 4: There still running.

1432
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hell you check check check your pedals, check your pedals.

1433
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 3: It's going to stamp, all right.

1434
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 4: The worst time you had at a job.

1435
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 2: Also a night experience.

1436
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 5: I used to do data entry at a pharmaceutical research company.

1437
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 5: We would have these deadlines we would have to meet.

1438
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 5: You had to have all of their data entered and cleaned,

1439
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 5: blah blah blah. We had a big deliverable one day.

1440
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 5: We went to check it like five o'clock the night

1441
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 5: before it was due the next day, and we had thousands,

1442
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 5: like half of the stuff was not entered. So we

1443
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 5: just had to pull an all night or you know,

1444
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 5: work from five until five in the next morning, just

1445

01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 6: degree burns on the tops of my feet because I

1474
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 6: was mopping a floor at Mister Green Jeans. I was

1475
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 6: like a house they called it. It was like a porter,

1476
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 6: I guess. So my job was to clean and uh,

1477
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 6: for some reason, the water was like scalding scalding hot,

01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 4: That's a great story. No, it's not a good story,

1496
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 4: but it's a great story. Yeah, yeah, yeah I was.

Speaker 4: It was yeah. I was like, feed up like.

1500
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 5: It was bad.

1501
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 4: Yes, thanks for sharing good times last one. Netflix has

1502
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 4: announced plans for a new documentary about the Montreal Exposed departure.

1503
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 4: In two thousand and four, they left to go to Washington,

1504
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 4: the NA which collapsed in any sports or any industry.

1505
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 4: Get creative here, should get a doc made about it, Skeets,

1506
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:08,520
Speaker 4: I have two answers.

1507
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,600
Speaker 3: One, it was something we already talked about, but I

1508
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 3: can already see the doc what happened to the All

1509
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 3: Star Game?

1510
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 4: I love.

1511
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 3: We'll be working on that, we'll start producing that. But

1512
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 3: the other answer is, uh, give me the rise and

1513
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 3: fall of the Score television network. Think of the interviews

1514
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 3: you could have with the talent that was there. Tim McCallan,

1515
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 3: Sid six Zero, Cabby Renee Piquette, Jackie Redmond, Arta o'cal ad,

1516
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 3: Nan verk Elliott Friedman, Sarah or Leski, Dunlop Sharman, Jack All,

1517
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 3: the soccer guys, Donovan Bennett, camp Store, the basketball Jones. Man.

1518
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 3: I'm probably missing like another twenty so apologies if I

1519
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 3: missed you. But there's something there on a weird place too,

1520
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,599
Speaker 3: like a hilarious good one hilarious sports network. I mean

1521
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 3: we were only sort of there for the tail end

1522
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 3: of the television part. Imagine the story is prior to that,

1523
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 3: So I think that'd be a good one. Somebody should

1524
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 3: do that for share YEA.

1525
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, lots of strange parts about it which would make

1526
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 4: it great. Absolutely, you know they were trying. Oh yeah,

1527
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:09,760
Speaker 4: they're trying.

1528
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 3: They were innovative. Yeah, had the double ticker. They were

1529
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 3: the first people ever had the double ticker. There when

1530
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 3: an innovation. They had a crazy thing with the Yeah, yeah,

1531
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 3: it's pretty common now. Yeah, but I think they were

1532
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 3: the first, at least in Canada. There was another thing

1533
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 3: like when they got their rights to do it, they

1534
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 3: had to like they had to like cut away every

1535
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes to like highlights or something.

1536
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 4: It was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.

1537
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 3: Sort of prior to us. But there was this weird

1538
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,879
Speaker 3: thing they had to do. They had to interrupt programming

1539
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 3: all the time, right because it was like a part

1540
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 3: of the Canadian whatever CRTC ruling. Right, Yeah, can can

1541
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 3: something there something something.

1542
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 4: There for share? Yeah, I'd watch that all right, tree,

1543
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 4: What do you think we're docky making?

1544
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 2: I want to dock about Jinko jeans?

1545
01:11:58,600 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Okay.

1546
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 2: How in the world did these.

1547
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 5: Get to be the most popular denim in the world.

1548
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 5: Who was the guy that said we can go bigger?

1549
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? And did they reach a point where they got

1550
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 2: too big and they know it was over?

1551
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,839
Speaker 5: Like like John Jenko's like, yeah, yeah, my brother James Jinko,

1552
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 5: he said he went for a twenty eight inch opening.

1553
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 2: I said, that's not that's not gonna work.

1554
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 5: People are gonna turn on us, and they did, and

1555
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 5: we got the tiny jeans and now they're trying to

1556
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 5: bring them back and it's working okay.

1557
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 2: But now I hear we're going back to skinny jeans again.

1558
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 2: What no? Ye? Sorry, that was quick skinny jeans. Now

1559
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 2: they got to hurry up and get this downcount.

1560
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 5: You never know, good one man. Remember the size of

1561
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,879
Speaker 5: those pockets. That's another part. Oh yeah, like the deepest

1562
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 5: pockets you've ever seen. You had to have a chain

1563
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 5: wallet when they were they in the league together in

1564
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 5: the chain wallet industry.

1565
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 3: Maybe that's just I just hate I hate clothing weighing

1566
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 3: me down, and that's all I think about. Or I mean,

1567
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 3: I and I wrote something like maybe not the ultimate

1568
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 3: giant ones, but I had jazz jeans when I was

1569
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 3: like in grade nine, grade ten. But like now I

1570
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 3: look at them and I'm like, oh, how did I

1571
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 3: Maybe it made me stronger by having to walk in them, like.

1572
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 2: Running with them.

1573
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 5: Maybe, so I'll say my number went like full size.

1574
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 5: You could always see my shoes.

1575
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 2: Same.

1576
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 5: There were people out there, you could they just gliding along,

1577
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 5: especially aboard.

1578
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 4: All right, JD. Witch Clap should get a doc made

1579
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 4: about it.

1580
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, mine has had a couple as well. But

1581
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 6: let's just stick with fashion. The tyrack, the rise and

1582
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:37,520
Speaker 6: fall of the tyrack.

1583
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,680
Speaker 3: Remember that store, Oh, the store I think about the actual.

1584
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:44,600
Speaker 6: No, no, no product, the tie. Yeah, it was a

1585
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 6: store called the Tyrack. It started in Britain. It was

1586
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:52,880
Speaker 6: they sold ties, that's it, ties and cuff links and

1587
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 6: they just refused to sell anything else, just behind the

1588
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 6: scenes of some posh British dude like nope, guy, listen,

1589
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 6: the men buy shirts and ties at the same time.

1590
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 2: We don't.

1591
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 4: We don't serve it.

1592
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 6: We don't sell shirts here, you know, just just digging

1593
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 6: in and just you know. I think there's a couple

1594
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 6: left in Australia. But it was like three hundred stores worldwide. Wow,

1595
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 6: just just ties.

1596
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 4: There was one in the incentive.

1597
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say that's the one I remember.

1598
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 6: There wasn't any shirts there, there were cuff links and ties.

1599
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 3: Did you ever buy a tire? Yeah, from the tire Yes,

1600
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 3: it's the only place to go.

1601
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 6: The only place I could think of.

1602
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 4: That sounds good.

1603
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 3: What a documentary made?

1604
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, i'd also quibi. I'd like I'd like a

1605
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 6: behind the scenes tell all. You'll never see it because

1606
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 6: it's too Hollywood inside.

1607
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 4: But you know, just the egos.

1608
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 2: You think it would be all ten to fifteen minute episodes.

1609
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 6: It would only be a minute documentary.

1610
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 2: That's it.

1611
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 3: Wow, there's something I had in a long time. Man?

1612
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 4: Is that the length? I had? Eight in my brain?

1613
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 4: I don't know either. Yeah, okay, that's all right.

1614
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,680

Speaker 2: It was with a good name, though, quit me a

1616
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:16,960
